REPORT WAS
WHOLLY FALSE
SWITCHMEN HAD NO INTEN
TION OF STRIKING.
They Brand the Story Printed in
Yesterday's Republican, the Second
of the Kind That Has Appeared in
That Paper Within Two Weoks, as
a Fabrication in Its Entirety.
Switchmen's Officials Say They
Are at Peace with the Lacka
wanna Havo No Grievances.
The sttlke of the l.ncknvvnnnii
switchmen threnteneil yestenlay by a
dilly paper did not materialise and
1'resdent l'rnnk Jones, of the local
union, denied to a Tilhune man that
there wum any likelihood of the men
going out yesterday, lie said:
"Why, that nrtlcle In the Republican
wis nil wiong and contained the llrst
news of n switchmen's strike that I
had heaid. Jn tho llrst place, oon
trary to the statement In the pappi.
the switchmen hfld no meeting last
night. In the next, we sent no som
mlttee to New Yoik to w-e 1'iesldent
Tiuesdale nnd In case lie refused to
grant our demaruK call the men out
before 10 o'clock tlm afternoon.
"tliand Master llawley was In
clt Wednesday and Is Hill hctc,
liaviuc gone to New York to see
the
not
the
l.ackaw anna's ptesldent, nt reported.
The grand masters family llvt" In
this city, you know, nnd every time lm
tomes within a hundred miles of Scum
ton ii sti Ike Htory comes out.
"I'll toll .vim how that story, In the
llcpubllian last week about a strike
came about," added 'Mr. Jones,
nnd he smiled nt the recollection. "A
lenorter came down to the nrrt nnd
asked one of the boS nit about
the
sti Ike. Then he said, 'Whin nie
you
fellows coming out'."
TIP WASN'T STRAIGHT.
" 'Oh, tomorrow morning nt il o'clock.'
the ivvltchman told him. meaning, of
coutse, that the men would then come
out for woik as usual. The next dnv
there wns nn nitlcle In the papei, tell
ing nbout the switchmen's pinposed
stiike, but theie wasn't a sign of it
about the yard. The Republican seems
determined to make us strike whether
we will or no."
On being nsked what the osact status
of affairs was and whether or not the
switchmen enteitalned any ptesent
cilevnuces. Piesident Jones retreated
Into the shell of reticence with which
the switchmen guard their affairs and
lemnrked that the question was a lit
tle too btoad to discuss.
"I know of no loniniittces eonfoiilng
with Superintendent Clarke lccently."
he snld, answering an lntci rogation,
"nnd the only Infoimation I have re
ceived of such was seen In one of the
pntvi-. No confluence was oideied
by the union "
The general committee of the switch
men, consisting of delgates from all
nlong the intk.iwanna system artlved
In the city esterday ami wete In ses
sion throughout the day nt the Rank
hotel on Lackawanna avenue, with
Giand Master llawley and I. A. Tim
lin, of the local grievance committee.
NO GRIKVANCi:S DISCPSSKD.
The latter said last night that noth
ing In the way of gtlevances wns ills,
cussed and that the matters brought
up for discussion were simply of a
routine business natuie. Another ses
slon of the committee will be held
this morning.
Last night the regular meeting of
the Switchmen's union was held In
Rconomy hall. It was latgely attended
and those piesont bad the pleasure of
healing an Intotestlng addiess deliv
ered by Oinud Master Jlawlev. Mt.
Timlin, as ehalman of the in ess com
mitter-, slated to a Tribune man
that merely the tegular business of tho
lot ill was being illsiussed and In speak
ing about the slilke lepott iIpcKupi
there was not the least foundation foi
the published lepoits
"Tho switchmen," he declared, "nie
nt peace with tho Lackawanna and
over other milium in the counti
No grievances will be bt ought befoie
the Lackawanna olllcials as a lesult
ot the meeting of the geueial commit
tee here, nnd theie Is not the least
sign anywhere of tumble."

FOR SEVEN YEARS
ALONE ON THE SEA
Tho Wonderful Voyage of Captain
Frletsch Recently Cqncluded at
New Orloans NoMore for Him.
New Otle an 1 ctttr in the Sun,
After seven years' voyaging on near
ly every ocean, the only occupant of
the little vessel which he himself built,
Captain Adolphus Krletsch landed hcio
this week from his lust sulltniy cruise,
met his family which had come all the
way from Milwaukee to see him, nnd
announce his detci initiation to sell his
boat, totlie from his solltniy se.i life,
and spend tho remainder of his years
In I'ens.icoln. on the pioceeds of his
voyages and speculations.
Captain Tiletsdi is a. rinn, only 11
imih old, but has been at sea for
twenty-tour e.us. Seven years ngo
when hu was living in Milwaukee, en
gaged In the schooner trade thetc the
viking sphlt seized on him ami he de
termined to travel over the world and
vMt all tbo e.is He himself built u
little vessel, the Nina, with a forty
foot keel. He left Milwaukee In 1804
for Liverpool, passing tbtough the
llrcnt Lakes by way of Ituffnlo and the
Krle canal to New Yoik His little
vessel moused some Interest at the
time and thousands came to see her.
He set sail from New Yoik for Hurope,
nnd for most of the world, that was
the last hoard of Captain Ftletsch nnd
his Nina. That was even years ago.
The solitary m.iilner has been "plough
ing the ocean waves" ever since. The
Nina has long since gone the way of
all such tiny vesels and tho captain
comes to New Oilcans In n new vessel,
the Anna 1, also built by him, and a
ttllle l.uger than the Nina, having a
44-foot keel nnd 12-foot beam. He
comes bete fiom a cuilse along the
coasts of South and Centtal America
and the tropics with the little vessel
ttml.ed with shells, corals nnd other
marine 'iu losltles. all collected by
himself, for whenever he saw coral or
snell that pleased his fancy he dived
overboard to collect them.
Seven eats tu heimltage at the sea
Is lomnrkuhle, and It seemed strange
that Captain Filetsch should havo es
caped nil Its dangeis but veiy narrow
lv at times, fro when tho first vessel
the Nina was wrecked off th icef In
Kllbrennan Sound tho captain just
ulssed going with her to destiuctlon
by a few seconds.
To navigate a vessel without a crew
Is a dilllcutt matter, for there is the
question of the watches. Who was
going to look after the Nina or the
An t.11 IJ. when the captain, boatswain,
chief mainler, all lolled In one, weie
nsleep? Over this nppaicntly Insupet
nble difficulty Captain Krletcli tri
umphed by ,1 c-son he learned in the
matter of sleep, which lie says and
one cm leal 11 who will make the proper
tt .il-the ability to sleep for a fixed
time, 1111 hour, two bouts 01 tluee
houis as the sleeper might deslie
This enabled the captain to rest dining
calms nnd when there wns no danger
to fear and to be awake and lead
to intend to his boat when danger
threatened He naturally slept meet of
the dn.v because thete was lens damiei
of his little vessel hoi ig run Into, as It
could be seen, whereas at night he
had to be more particular and keep
vi ate h for essels. In crowded places
like the Ilritish Channel he denied hlm
spf nil sleep and when he wns on the
route of vessels he seldom nllowed him
self more than two bouts' lest making
n good eacmlntlon of the hoi Iron
before letirlng to rest to make sure
that there weio no vessels within reach
which might 1 un him down. Ho timed
Himself caierully nnd gauged his test
by the character of the water In which
he was and the outlook for the weather
He also so trained himself to the
sllghest luffing in the wind or dlffeient
rolling of the vessel.
So 111 customed did he become In time
to the system of voluntary sleeping
and waking at a lixed time that when
the Nina was wrecked, when it was evi
dent that he would go on the Klllner
man reefis he timed rhe hour at whlrh
tho wieik was to occur, and having
made all the necessaiy ntrangements
what he would do when his little vessel
went tn pieces, und finding that this
could not on nr before an hour, he lay
down nnd took a good hour's sleep, so
that he would be tested and luvtgoiut
ed when the wieck came The Nina
was wrecked at the appointed time,
and It was only by superhuman effoits
that Captain Frletsch wns rescued But
however pleasant, It may be, and full
of adventure, an ocean hermitage be
comes tiresome in time, and so Captain
Frletsih has concluded after having
been tossed about In his two little boats
for seven yeats. thru he will return to
the domestic life of 11 "landlubber."
The popular Punch cigar Is still the
leader of the 10c cigars.
