GIG STRIKE IN BROOKLYN
Tractions Lines Almost Com
pletely Tied Up.
The Tro tibia Hal Meet llrewlng For Some
SI me, and When the Hmnmont Came
Majority of the Mrn Mopped Work.
The Complaint of the Kmplojrci Some
IHaorderi.
NEW YORK, July 17.-An other trol
ley etrike is on in Drooklyn. Fur some
weeks past the employes on the several
lines controlled by the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company have been complain
inn that the management did not live
up to the 10-hour law. The nun de
mand a revision of the lime tables al
the different barns and also claim thai
they should be paid 20 tents an houi
for overtime, which Is equivalent to $
a day, the price which they aut for a
working day of 10 hours. Meetings
have been held dally and nightly for the
last week and it finally decided to
stop work Sunday morning. This was
done and the lines were ulmost com
pletely tied up during Sunday. On
Alonduy the situation was as follows
Care were run on most of the lines
governed by the traction company
from early morning until 7 o'clock in
the evening, but after sundown there
was a considerable falling off In tlu
service and by 9 o'clock not a car was
moving on any of the lines affected
by the striking motormen and conduc
tors. The roads comprising the Nas
sau system were more effectively crip
pled. None of the strlkins employes
reiurneu 10 worn and most of them
were busy during the day influencing
union and non-tinlon men on the other
lines to quit work. In this respect the
strikers were partially successful, but
they made no Inroads on the running of
Tutnam avenue cars. This line is prac
tically intact, not more than half a
doien of its employes being affiliated
with the strikers.
The Coney Island Railroad company
reaped a .rich harvest on all of its
lines during the day. The Franklin
avenue, Smith and Jay street, Hamil
ton avenue and Dekalb avenue lines
were running on full time and carried
a great number of passengers through
out the day and night. The Coney Is
land company lived up to its agree
ment with the employes and conse
quently its buslnces was not Inter
foied with in tho slightest. In fact, the
business on these roads was consid
erably augmented.
Of all fhe lines In the traction sys
tem, Flutbush avenue ond a newly
opened Brighton Heacji route, were the
most seriously affected lines during
the day. The regular schedule on the
Flatbush avenue and Brighton Beach
roads call for 94 cars, but only six
of these were successfully worked. On
the Nostrand avenue line which runs
from the Twenty-third street - ferry
landing in Williamsburg, to Flatbush
avenue and Bergen Beach, 75 cars are
daily, sent out. Only eight vehicles
were manipulated and most of these
did not cover the entire route. Tomp
kins avenue was very much neglected,
only two cars passing over the entire
line during the day.
President Rossiter, accompanied by
Seth L. Keeney. visited the barn on
the Flatbush uvenue line during the
afternoon. The strikers were there to
a Jiian and when the railroad magnates
drove up In a couve, the strikers ad
journed to a nearby hall and held a
meeting to which they Invited Messrs.
Rossiter and Ke.-ney. Speeches were
made on both s'des, but towards the
close ot the meeting President Rossi
ter told the men they could come back
to work, but he assured them that the
company would not concede any other
demands and expressed himself as be
lieving that the strikers had no griev
ances to back up their actions.
"There is no strike nor cause for it,"
said Mr. Rossiter.
"You lie! You lie!" came from 500
throats In answer to this assertion
and It looked for a time as If serious
trouble would ensue. Fortunately
wiser heads governed the more active
strikers and no' damage was done to
either of the representatives of the
company.
As soon as Mr. Rossiter got outside
of the meeting room, he noticed two
cars on the main- line opposite the
barn. About 500 persons were .In the
Immediate neighborhood, hooting and
Jeering the tympany's representatives
nnd President Rossiter Immedlatly
decided that it would be unwise to re
move either of the cars. He ordered
the cars lo be brought back to the
barn and as the last one was being
switched In, Starter Lewis Jumped 011
the front platform and brandishing a
revolver in a threatening manner.
Very little notice was taken of this
act and the crowd dispersed a few
minutes after President Rossiter drove
away in a private carriage. '
Early In the afternoon small sized
boulders and stumps of trees were
thrown on the Flatbush avenue tracks,
but all these obstructions were removed
in time tp allow the limited number of
cars to make their schedule trips. Con
siderable ditllculty was experienced on
the Nostrand avenue and crosstown
lines, but no serious mishap occurred.
All tho care wore manned by two or
more policemen and the presence of the
ofllcers on board the cars prevented, in
a great measure, any outbreak on the
part of tho strikers or their sympa
thizers. At 7 o'clock President Rossiter issued
instructions to shut clown on all the
traction companies linen, and from that
hour until long after midnight nor. a
car was run with the exception of a
couple which were placed at the ser
vice of the city authorities to transport
the policemen to ihe outlying districts.
BIG SIRIKE RENEWED.
Employe f Ilia Cleveland Caiinolliliiicil
llnllrnad Again Out,
CLEVELAND, July 18.-The Inau
guration of a second strike by the em
ployes of the Big Consolidated rail
road company was a complete surprise
to the public and nearly so to the com
pany. Ever since the men returned to
work three weeks ago, under an agree
ment prepared by a committee of the
city council and signed by representa
tives of the strikers and of the com
pany, there had been frequent com
plaints on the part of the men that
the company was not living up to the
agreement. The presence of cars ot
the non-union men who were retained
after the settlement of the strike was
still a bone of contention and a crisis
was reached when, as is claimed, a
number of union men were discharged
for refusing to go out on cars with
non-union men. A meeting followed
and the decision to strike was reached.
All the lines were tied up from S
o'clock until after 8, when the opera
tion of the Euclid avenue line with
non-union men under police protec
tion, was undertaken.
Cars were run at five minutes inter
vals on that line until evening, but nc
attempt was made to move cars on
other lines.
Henry A. Everett, president of the
company, Issued a statement In which
he says the terms of the agreement
with the strikers had been strictly ad
hered to, but that It was Impossible
to Inaugurate all the reforms prompt
ly because of the continued Interfer
ence with the non-union crews, and he
holds the union men directly responsi
ble for this. He says that he will ope
rate the cars if he Is given police pro
tection. Protection has beert promisee
by Mayor Farley and It is said that the
militia will be called out If the police
are unable to preserve order.
There has been a little disorder, bui
nothing of a serious nature.
PROSPERITY IN THE WEST.
Cropi Abundant at Good Prices and Monej
Never So l'leutiriil.
WASHINGTON. July 17.-George E
Roberts, the director of the mint, whe
has returned from a tour of the Mid
dle West, reports a most prosperoui
condition of affairs in that section
The crops, he says, are abundant, and
the only complaint of farmers was in
ability to secure the labor necessary
to handle them. As to the financial
condition there, the director eayi
. money had never been so plentiful. Thli
was pointedly Illustrated by the fact
that the Western banks, instead of bor
rowing funds from Chicago, were act
ually competing with tho banks ol
that city In putting money out at In
terest. The usual conditions wen
therefore reversed and Western money
was going to the East.
Former Senator Wilson of Washing
ton, who was among the callers at the
White House, said the people of Wash
ington were enjoying great prosperity
and were contented. The crops were
.fine, prices were good, old debts were
being paid off and they were settling
down to steady progress.

ROBRED TWO BANKS.
Cashier of One and the Treas

George M. Valentine of Perth Amboy, N.
J. Acknowledges Hlmnelf a Uetaultet
to the Amount of 140,000 or More
The Money All Spent In Gambling
Both Hanks Have Cloied.
NEW YORK. July 15. George M
Valentine, cashier of the Middlesex
County bank of Terth Amboy, N. J.
which hi'.s been closed, surrendered
himself and Is now in jail on account
of a shortage in the bank's fund:
which It is estimated may reach at
high as $165,000. The affairs causec
consternation and dismay among tht
business men of the conservative ole
New Jersey town of Perth Amboy
where tho Middlesex county bank wai
considered as strong as the eternal hills
So panic-stricken did the residents ol
Perth Amboy become when It wai
learned that the Middlesex county bant
had failed to open for business as usua
that crowds surrounded the Perth Am
boy savings Institution. What mad(
the run on the savings bank appear al
the more serious was the fact that tlx
officers of the Middlesex county ban!
and the officers of the Perth Amboj
savings Institution were Identical, tht
hllRlnpflq nf hnth hnntrc Vioini t-nna.
W acted over the same counters. Hence
to those not familiar with banking de
tails the suspension at the offices of the
one bank seemed to presage the down
fall of the other institution.
Though it became necessary to cal
for the aid of the police for the pur
pose of maintaining order. V. B Wat
son, the president of both banks, say;
that the funds of the Perth Amboj
Savings Institution were not touched;
that J300.000 deposited to the account
of the savings institution Is absolutely
safe and that no matter how badly the
Middlesex County bank has beer
wrecked, the savings bank will be able
to meet any and all demands made
upon it by the depositors. This as
surance from the officers of the sav
ings institution had the effect of check
ing the run on the bank during the
afternoon, though all day long crowds
In the vicinity of the bank watched the
proceedings with the greatest interest.
A detailed investigation of matteri
by President Watson and Robert N.
Valentine, the father of the cashier,
showed that the chashler's plan of op
eration was extremely simple. It was
discovered that the cashier's checks
and the stubs did not correspond, that
the checks called for morn money thar.
tho stub recorded, and that while tak
ing the stub fis the basis of accounting
the bank's finances would figure al
right, tho checks would show that tht
bank had been drawing heavily on Its
New York correspondent, the Park Na
tional bank. The cashier, In fact, car
ried the accounts on the stubs, and
from them to the books correctly, but
when the returns from the cashier's
checks came he pocketed the difference
between the stub and the checks.
Four or five months of this method ol
financiering depleted the bank's re
serve monies, and brought It to the
verge of ruin. Then the cashier evi
dently secured a portion of the ready
cash on hand and left Perth Amboy
The cashier was for years a clerk ir
the Park National bank of New York
Tn 189J he was made cashipr of tho Mid
dlesex County bank. His bond was
fixed for J.riO,000. His relatives an
wealthy, and it is said they will en
deavor to make good the shortage.
CONFESSES HIS CRIME.
ITo Says Hi Stealings Will Amonnt ti
About 1140,000 or 'or.
NEW YORK, July 18. It Is estlmatei
that the theft of George M. Valentine,
the defaulting cashier of the Middlesex
County bank at Perth Amboy, N. J.
will amount to about $140,000 or more.
Edward S. Savage, counsel for manj
years for the Valentine family and th(
man who practically delivered up Val
entine to the authorities, told the storj
that Valentine related to his father
his uncle and his wife concerning hit
defalcation.
Valentine, he said, confessed every
thing on Thursday last. He appeared
at Mr. Savage's office as tlfc result ol
an advertisement which appeared In t
New York newspaper on the day before
He appeared there at 6 o'clock at night
and found gathered In the office besidei
Mr. Savage, his father, his wife and li If
uncle, Howard Valentine, who had beer
summoned.
Valentine was pale and haggard, hit
clothes were disarranged and his gen
eral appearance was that of a man whe
had suffered much. Mr. Ravage Ul
to him: "George, your father will heir,
you If he can. Unless you tell us the
whole truth, you may as well go oul
that door at once."
"I will tell you everything and do as
you say, 1 can stand it' no longer," h
replied.
"Very well. Are you a defaulter?"
"Yes, I am."
He spoke with a forced calm and hii
hand trembled violently as he rested it
upon a chair to support himself.
"Is it 50,000?"
"It is more. It Is . twice ' that - ami
more." '
When he said that his father sank In
a temporary collapse Into a chair and
remained speechless and motionless foi
several minutes. When he revived, hit
son continued slowly: "I will tell you
all and have it over. 1 do not know
how much I have taken"
, He hesitated and then went on: "No
not taken; stolen Is the word. I do nil
know how much. It Is all gone, anil
the stealing has gone on for a lonf
time. Hut as there is a (Jod aliove me
I hoped to the last to make a lu l

BOYS ROASTED ALIVE.
They Threw Oil on Fire and the Can
Wu F.xplnded.
BEAVER FALLS. Pa.. July 14.
Three small boys, aged about8 years,
named Eddie, son of J. T. Howarth;
Eddie, son of Dr. W. F. Elliott, and
Willie, son of James M. Smith, were
terribly burned by an explosion of an
oil can at this place. Young Elliott's
body was burned to a crisp and he
died shortly afterward. The others are
burned about the hands, face and
body. Willie Smith, In addition, is
burned about the stomach. Howarth's
burns are very serious and may prove
fatal.
The lads had rigged up a sort of
furnace in the rear of Dr. Elliott's res
idence and put a fire in it. To make It
burn lively Eddie Elliott went into the
house and got a can of oil. This he
was throwing on the fire when the
flames communicated to the can and
it burst, throwing the oil all over him
self and the other two boys, who were
standing by watching him.
Their clothing all took fire and they
ran about Bcreamlng with pain and
trying to put out the flames. Men at
work nearby ran to their assistance
and tore the burning clothing away,
and by so doing their hands were badly
burned.
REFUSED TO WORK.
Sinallpoi Quarantine at Homeitead Again
liors Glimmering.
PITTSBURG, July 15. The smallpox
situation at Homestead Is not relieved
any by the latest developments there.
The five colored men hired by Chief of
Police George Williams to take the
place of the white men who had been
doing quarantine duty announced their
intention of refusing to work longer.
They decided on this when they learned
that they had been hired to take the
places of men who had refused to
work for the wages they were being
paid. They claimed that they were not
aware of the situation when they went
to work, and that, as they went out
in the big Homestead strike, they
ccruld not consistently take the places
of other men now, even In the effort
to maintain a quarantine.
There is great Indignation among the
residents of the borough over the hag
gling regarding the compensation being
given the men, and many Insist that,
as the quarantine will have to be main
tained not later than Monday, when the
new municipal hospital Is expected to
be ready for occupancy, their demands
in the interest of the health of the com
munity should have been complied with.
