THE RAILROAD MEETING.
People Fail to Get . Through Train,
But Make Arrangements
For Better Schedule.

A meeting was held in the office
of the New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad at Covington, last Satur-
day, for the purpose of discussing
the question of securing better
schedule between Covington and New
Orleans. Besides the officials of the
company there We're present dele
gates from the various towns along
the route and many citizens from
Covington. The great difficulty in
the way of faster time is the limita-
ton in speed that is required is pass
ing over the large portion of the
tracks of the New Orleans and North
eastern, much time being spent in
crossing bridges and travelling with
in the the corporate limits Of New
Orleans.
One of the main features of the
delay, the frequently long stop at
North Slidell, it was agreed might
be remedied. Probably ten minutes
time may be saved there. but other
wise it is not probable that the actual
schedule time will be shortened.
An effort will be made, however, to
run within the schedule time and to
avoid delays. This would give q
schedule time of about two hours,
which. if the time is made regularly,
will be a great improvement over
present conditions and will be APP
precaited by those who travel regu-
larry over the road.
It was agreed to extend the reg
ular round-trip ticket from Saturday
to Monday so as to read from Fri
day to Monday, in order that people
who wished to come from New Or
leans for the purpose of hunting or
fishing or enjoying an outing in the
woods would have Saturday for this
purpose. It was also agreed that
Parlor car No. II, formerly used be-
tween Covington and New Orleans,
shall be again put on.
The citizens failed in their efforts
to get a through train from Coving-
ton to New Orleans. The company
said this was an impossibility under
present conditions, but that they
would try to so arrange that there
may not be loss of time in making
connections with the through train.

WATERS CALL OFF
NEW YORK STRIKE

New York, June 25.-Waiters and other
hotel employees tonight declared their
long drawn out strike off and are pre-
pared, they announced. to return to work.
They held meeting and listened to re-
ports submitted by a delegation of SO
of their number which had been APP
pointed to make a canvass of the lead
ing hotels affected by the strike.
This report was that the conditions were
favorable for the men resuming work.
The vote to end the strike was almost
unanimous on the part of $500 employees
present.
The walters made their decision real
izing that in applying for their Jobs
again they were doing so without any
concession to their strike demands having
been made by hotel proprietors. The de-
mands included recognition of the union.
The strike was called about month
ago For several days there was rioting.
A number of persons were injured. many
arrests were made and hotel men and
their patrons were seriously inconveni-
enced. Many of the hotels have gotten
on with improvised local forces or by
getting help from other cities and their
proprietors have as a rule declined 10
make terms with the strikers.

private detective, occurred yesterday at
noon on Parker's cohner, Twentieth street

and when Detective Wren refused to
listen to his orders he told him to con-
slider himself under arrest.
Then Patrolman Leonard attempted to
send Wren to the city Jail In a mixup
that followed it is claimed that officer
Leonard drew his pistol Leonard says
however. that Wren was attempting to
draw his gun.
Detective Tully then interfered and the
men were separated. Wren was taken to
the central police station and charged

on bond until this morning. when the
case comes up before Judge Black in the
