Jersey City, July 24.-Because, for what the superintendent considered a most excellent excuse, William Conk- l1n express messenger in charge of the car of through matter from Dem yer to this city, was not punished for deserting his car enroute. The rea- son, according to the messenger, was that four rattlesnakes consigned to Director Ditmars, of the New York Zoo. got loose enroute and chased the messenger about the car, finally de- serting him to feast on a consignment of live chockens which were also in the car. Conklin said his car, att tached to a fast train on the Erie, was bowling along early today near Salamanca when the snakes got out or their box. He said they wound themselves about his lantern, extin- gushing the light.
 I lighted matches, got my gun and started to get after the snakes said Conklin. First they got on top of three collins that were in the car. I wanted to shoot but was afraid to take a chance. Then they turned on me and I had to run After they got to the chickens I got out of the car and stayed until we reached this city and .Ditmars came after his snakes

TROLLEY WAGE
 FIGHT FINISHED
Arbitrator Fitzgerald Makes Es'
 innate of Roads Earnings At Final Session

New Haven, July M--The offering of evidence in the trolleymen's wage arbitration case was completed late yesterday afternoon and adjournment taken until today when an hour was allowed to each side for argument.
 It is expected that a decision will be reached by the commission on or about the middle of August, as each Of the arbitrators. in turn, must go over the vast amount of evidence taken and the exhibits introduced.
 At yesterdays hearing the trolley men endeavored to show that there was no excuse for the hiring of strike breakers as arbitration was offered on June and accepted on June and they proved that insofar as a strike was concerned several steps were nec- essary before strike could have been ordered.
 This evidence came in during the testimony of Martin A. Breen, the secretary of the local union, and one of those who dealt with Manager Punderford and vice-President Storrs.
 Just at the close of the session Ar bitratpr Fitzgerald tried to get in an estimate of the earnings of the New Haven division, something the troll leymen have been unable to learn through the entire hearing. Easing hSe estimate upon report of the en- tire trolley system for the period rom June 29 to July Is, Arbitrator Fltz- gerald deduced from these figures that the receipts per day for that period we're s7, ,ag5 and then made an estimate for the year on that basis.
 All Manager Punderford- would say ras that this spring business, be- cause of bad weather conditions was the worst in his recollection.
 Secretary Breen told of the nego- tiaticns with the company last spring for an ificfease in wages and said that after the 30 cent fiat rate had been turned down by Manager Punderford the men put in the 26, 2S 30 cent as a cornpromiae The company offered a compromise of 9 to 27 1-2 cents an hour which was rejected.
