"Kids" Pemand an Advance of Two and a Half CeiiU Per Hour and Eefcss to Compromise.

The new officers of the Citizens' street railway had their first experience in meetins the dissatisfactions of any large num. ber of their employes yesterday morning. Caro were started ont as usual, bus at about 0 o'clock nearly all of them which ran by mule transit were tied up. The cause was that the boya who are employed at the Louisiana-street tarns as "change boys," or tbeones who bring ont the fresh teams, concluded that they w re not getting enough pay for their s a ties, and sent a committee to the offices to notify the road oQicers to that ellect. They have been receiving 10 cents an hour, and the ultimaturn they set forth was 12 cents or no work. The youthful strikers were fairly well organized and bad for their leader one whom they called "Stilly" Elkins. He is a tall, angular youth and was found to be Imbued with a large amount of tenacity of purpose. Both President Mason and Superintendent liojd hurried down to the table as soon as they heard of the trouble and tried to induce the boys to go to work. This they refused to do and then an ell or t was made to compromise the matter. It was determined to oiler the strikers 11 cents a hour and it was done, but they rofnsed to bite at the bait. Superintendent liord vented ail the persuasiveness in him on the obstreperous chango boys." but it was of no avail. Later id the day the leaders of tho strike received word that the boys at the other barns were ready and willing to come to the assistance of their compatriots on Louisiana street . and couriers were tent out to see them and to induce them to "go out." They were successful in that part of the boys at the West Washington-street stables Hung down their reins and refused to continue with their work. Ho one left work at any of the other stables. This condition of affairs lasted until about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time Superintendent Boyd succeeded in getting nearly all of the malcontents into the stable at Louisiana street, where he had a uecret conference with them. A few moments later the doors were Hung wide open, fresh mules were jogged out. and the Citizens' Streetrailroad Company resumed business. The truce that was patched up was to last only until the close of the day's work, at which time there was to be a meeting between the bovs and ofiioers for a permanent settlement. The evening conference resulted In a failure to agree. The boys declined to budge an inch from their demands. President Mason suggested arbitration, but. in the minds of the youngsters, this meant delay and possible failure, and this oiler also was refused. After the conference the o Ulcers of the company issued the following statement: To thn Citizens of ImllanspoIU: Your street railway beps leave to submit a s'atoinenl of facts concerning a difference with lis e uployss. Tho company has for a ion time bteu hiring boys to tura switches and chautfe' teams. A few days since a boy irotn the Shelbystreet stables complained or Inequality In wases and amount of work. An Investigation was promised, and Immediately begun. This dlclocd the fact that oertaln Inequalities did exist, both art to the duties and pay, nemo boys petting H and 9 cents an hour for the same work for which other received 10 conta per hour. Tbe company determined to equalize tlio duties and of the boys at the highest rate paid, 10 cents per hour. Pending this decision the boy at Shelby street continued at their work. 'o other grievance than the one mentioned had been brought to the attention of the company. To-day, at 0:30 a. m., the boys working at tho Vlrxiuia-avenue viaduct, the Illinois-street tunnel, Kentucky avenue, Morris street, the West Washington-street stables and the Louisianastreet stable quit work without notice, demanding 123 cents per hour. It was explained to the boys tnat the new olliccrs of tbe company were care l ally Investigating the whole question, and a request was made for a few days' time to post themselves thoroughly on tho subject by personal inspection and investigation. The utmost concession of the boys was an agreeroeut to work until 6 o'clock. Before this agreement was reachett seventeen cars were stopped on West Washington street and live on Kentucky avenue. At the 6-o'clock meeting the company offered to correct the existing inequalities of duties and pay 10 cents per hour to boys worhlnc at stable, and to Investigate tbe condition of hill, tunnel and switch boys, by whom no previous complaint had been made. This offer was refused. The strikers demanded liJ cents per hour, and refused to work for less. The company then offered to submit to an arbitration, one arbitrator to be selected by the boys, una by tho company and the third by these two. The strikers refused to arbitrate, and resolved to quit work uuless thoir demand was met. The hours of work range from nine to twelve, so that at 10 cent per hour the wages of a boy from sixteen to eighteen years old ran no from 00 cents to $1.20 per day. This rate is believed to be lust and ample, but it was felt that an arbitration would be just to all concerned. The company win make tho utmost exertion to meet the temporary inconvenience. If any should arise, and asks tbe Indulcnro of the puDlio until a settlement can be reached. Ait;r.-ruij I Mason. President, L. A. Doti, Superintendent. The truce lasted only until tbe conferonce was over. When the company did not concede the demands the new9 was at once eiroulated and the trouble was renewed. The boya refused V handle tbe teams and the stockyards and Kentucky-avenue lines, as well us the West Washington-street line were tied up during the rest of the night At the Collegeavenue junction the drivers of Clifford and Columbia avenues made the changes themLives, nnd the same policy was pursued at the other harn.t. While one cannot help laughing at the idea of twenty or thirty bors tying up the atreet-railroad system, yet it is possible that the strike may cause not a little trouble before it is over. Tho four boys at the West Washington-street stable yesterday tied up seventeen cars for an hour or more. The drivers made rather feeble eilorts to book up traces, but the "kids" unhooked them again and ran the mules buck into the barn. Information was given at tho police station last night that there was trouble with tho boys at the 11 right wood barn, but as there are but two boys there the police forco was not ordered out. Koad ofiicers of the company last night hired a sut'icient force of buys to handlo the workto-dav. and from the spirit shown by the boys yesterday, some interference is anticipated. Apoliccmau or two was detailed for duty at each barn this, morning by Superintendent Colbert last night. The lirotherhood of Drivers, Motormen and Conductors held its reaular weekly meeting last night. It had been rumored during the afternoon that it would present certain grievances, corning over from the old regime for settlement, but the meeting v as brief. and no action on grievance was taken. The men are standing aloof lrom the ditticulty with the boys, though some of the drivers yesterday de The World's b are ought to be good and wholesome.

WJXI. TU11V EVER ME TRIED? Iron Hall Officials Not iu Any Apparent Danger Kaho'i Case. About the only effect tho indictment of tho supreme oilicera of tbe Iron Hall has had thus far was to give Prosecutor Holtzman a very enjoyable trip to Baltimore at the State's expense. The indictments ara still standing, yet it seems that there- is little probability of their ever accomplishing anything. Tbo crime of embezzlement was committed by some one aud all of them were indicted, yet so far as results go there might as well have been no notice taken of the very peculiar financiering of the supreme officers of the order. Mark Davis, one of the indicted olliccrs, resides in tho city and has remained here ever since the indictment was returned, and no steps have been taken to have tbo case against him set down for trial. Prosecutor Holtzman was asked why this case was not disposed of. either by trying or dismissing it. He excused his laxity by saying that the case aaainst Davis was not forced to trial beoanso ho was waiting to get tho other indicted o Ulcers and try them all at the same time. "Why were not the other oflicers indicted and arrested when they were hero as witnesses in tho receivership suit!" he was asked. "Because at that time we did not have the evidence upon which to proceed." If the prosecutor did not know at the time of that trial that the supreme ollic6rs were amenable to the law for their acts it was simply because he did not read the newspapers containing Somerby's testimony, upon which the indictments aro based. Since the indicted men have left the State great ostensible ellorts have been made to bring them back, but none of those residing outside of the State have since been apprehended and the only one who resides here has never beon inconvenienced by the fact that an indictment stands against him. Mr. Holtzman said the Governor of Maryland refused to surrender the indicted othcersof that State because he held that under the Constitution, they were not subject to extradition. The position taken by the prosecutor was that ,they were constructively present in this State when the money was taken and were therefore liable. He says that the Governor refused to entertain this view and held that tbe persons must be actually present. Mr. Holtzman was asked if he had made any effort to obtain extradition from tbe State of Pennsylvania for tbe indicted officers in that State, and replied that he had not. When asked why he had not, he said that be read in the papers that indictments had been returned against them in that State, and if that was the case, he presumed that it would be useless to attempt to induce the Governor to surrender them for trial in this State. Mr. Holtzman'a attention was also called to the fact that George Kuhn, the ex-deputy city clerk who had been indicted for embezzlement and released on bond, had not yet been tried, although he was in the citv. The prosecutor said that the reason Kuhn bad not been cried was that there were so many other cases in the Criminal Court that trial of this one bad simply been deferred for the time being. Ho said that Kuhn would soon be tried. Several of Kuhn's friend's, he said, had asked him to enter a nolle in the case, but bo had refused to do so. SULLIVAN SLIT SETTLED. Case of Ex-Treasurer Loftin Against the Absondlog County Clerk Compromised. A settlement has at last been reaohed in tbe famous case of Sample Loftin against John E. Sullivan, tbe defaulting county clerk. Shortly before Sullivan's absconding he borrowed several thousand dollars from Loftin, which was only partially paid when Sullivan absconded. Loftin brought suit and recovered judgment against Sullivan for the amount yet due, and the judgment was made a lien upon a farm owred by the absconding clerk. The case in various phases has since then been in tbe different county courts until yesterday a compromise was reached and the case dismissed by agreement. The assignee of Sullivan agrees that the farm shall be sold and if the proceeds do not satisfy Loftin's claim then execution, which, however, would be worthless, is to issue against Sullivan for the remainder. In pursuance of this agreement judgement was rendered against Sullivan in Koom 1 yesterday in the sum of 0,511, which Is the amount due with interest HUNG" TIIE JURY. Failure to Agree In the McClure Case After Long Deliberation. The nine days devoted to the trial of tbe McClure murder case in the Criminal Court have rosnlted m naught but a hnng jury. The trial was begun Monday morning, Maroh 27, and, with the exception of one day, oooupled the entire attention of tho court until 4 o'clook last Tuesday afternoon, when tbe case was given to the jury, with instructions from the court which, in the main, were of a general character. The jury immediately retired, and began their deliberations. At the time the case went to the jury it was the general opinion of persons who bad heard the trial that they would not be out more than a few hours, but the night passed and no verdict was reached: tho entire day Wednesday and tbo night brought them no nearer a verdict, and at half-past 9 o'olock yesterday morning, having as yet reached no verdict. Judge Cox had them brought into the court room and discharged. At the time they were called into the court room the jury stood ten lor acquittal and two for conviction. The court immediately sustained a motion to admit the defendant to bail, and fixed tbo amount of the bond at which was given forthwith. Henry Mauer, the Indiana-avenue grocer, and Conrad Bender, the contractor, being accepted as sureties. The bond was signed and approved, and Lon McCluro was free from restraint for the first time since the nifrhtof tho shooting. Dec. SI. The case was the longest that has been tried in the Criminal Court here for several years. Four days were occupied hearing the evidence aud tbreodays in the argument. Attorney Spaau, for the defense, spoke a full day and a portion of a second day on bohalf of his olient. The personnel of the jury was probably better than that of any jury that has set iu judgment in the court for some time past. Nine of them were residents of tbo city, and two of these were formerly engaged in business here. Their first ballot resulted in a vote of 8 to 4 for acquittal, and after wrangling with the evidence for forty-two hours only two had boen moved from their original opinion. Mrs. lloicourt's Insanity. Mrs. Nellie B. Boicourt was declared insano yesterday by a commission composed of Drs. Crose and Earp and Justices Daniels and ifablch.

DB. EDENILYBTER IS CHOSEN He Succeeds Dr. Wright as Superintendent of the Central Insano Hospital. Elected at the Close of the Trustees Meetin? Last Night Votes for Rogers and Morrison Sketch of the Successful Man. Dr. George F. Edenharter was elected superintendent of the Central Hospital for the Insane, last night, at the meeting of the board of trustees. He is well and favorably known an the present superintendent of the City Hospital, which he has brought to a high state of efficiency and order. The selection was made by tbe trustees on the second ballot taken by the board, which did not reach a vote until late at their night session. The first ballot stood as follows: Morrison, 1, cast by Trustee Oeterman; Kdenbarter, 1, cast by Trustee Carson; Hogers, superintendent of the Northern hospital, 1, cast by Trustee Hauser. The second ballot resulted iu Mr. Hauser voting with Mr. Carson, giving him two votes, while Mr. Osterman voted for Dr. Morrison. The vote for Dr. Kdenbarter was then made unanimous. The meetm? of tbe board began on the previous night, but found a vast amountof routine work to do in connection with reports, payments of bills, etc. Mr. Osterman came over to tbe city yesterday morning and invited Governor Matthews to go to the hospital and meet with the board. The invitation was accepted. The supposition being there was some hitch between the trustee?, the question was asked ot the Governor, who said: There was indication of difference of serious nature. When my advice was solicited I told the trustees that all 1 would ask of them was to act as soon as they could with wisdom, so as to give the great institution a responsible head as speedily as possible. My visit there was not to settle dirleence8., Immediately after tbe election Mr. Osterman hurried home in bis private conveyance. He was feeling decidedly ill, and went at once to bed, a physician being called. He had not reoovercd from his attack of a week previous, when it partook of the nature of the grip. The other two trustees remained at the hospital for the night. Dr. Edenharter received tbe news of bis election at the City Hospital by telephone. When asked by a Journal reporter whether he would accept or not he said: "That is a question I cannot answer until 1 have conferred with my friends. I regard tbe office as the highest medical honor the State can bestow, and I am aware that it is worthy of any medical man's best ambition. The probability is that 1 will aceept, but I cannot say positively tonight. The position pays no more than my present one, to which I have devoted inyself very olosely, and yet at tbe Central hospital I would have ten times the reponibility and the prosoectof fonr years of exceedingly hard work. Financially, tbo place would have no attractions to one looking at that alone, but 1 will not give that consideration much weight. I am too yonng a man to refuse, without mnoh thousht and good reason, the opportunity to earn the reputation which successful management would give." "Yoa have not been unknown in local politics," suggested the reporter, "what policy as to employes will yoa pursue if you acceotf" "My polioy willboo je of devotion to the best and blithest interests of the institution. I will rettard it as a sacred trust. and efficiency will be the only standard of employment. I would not think ltrignt to remove or appoint a man on aocount ot his politics." "Were you in any sense a candidate for the place!" "1 was not. There is no one who can say that, directly or indirectly, I have ever asked any one to voto for me or anyone to peak a word for me to the trustees. The appointment has come to me absolutely unsolicited. On the contrary, 1 have persistently and sincerely declared for Dr. Morrison at every opportunity. I do not want to go into tho position with my eyes shut, and before I accept I want to talk with tbe trustees and learn what they will expect of me."
