E. E. McDIVITT COMPANIES HOT SURE OF GROUND A 'Conference Between City Officials and Traction Representatives. THE ULTIMATE RESULT. BELIEVED THAT COMPANIES WILL SOONER OR LATER .APPLY FOR FRANCHISE TO RUN CARS IN CITY. The Board of Public Works, City Attorney Study and a committee from council met at the city hall yesterday for a conference with General Manager Reynolds of the Columbus, Indiana & Eastern Traction Company and General Manager Adams, of the Dayton & Western Traction Company, relative to the differences that exist between the city and the companies in question as to the rights of the latter on the streets of Richmond. Nothing Definite Done. The conference was not productive of well-defined results, although there were some indications that the city and the traction companies were really striving to "get together" and! establish just what the rights of the traction companies may be. It was clear that the traction company representatives realized that they were trodding on uncertain ground and they were unable to prevent any facts or any argument which would tend to show that from a purely legal standpoint either corporation had any right to run cars over the city's streets. The city's position in the matter it appeared from the discussion, was to not in any way restrict the traction companies except to the extent that the city's own rights may be preserved. The fact that the traction companies are encroaching on the city's rights by fairly monopolizing the streets and congesting their own rtaffic by freight business, was one of the strong points urged against the corporations. It was suggested that there could be a belt line, extending from the east end of the city, south and thence west across the river by means of the new South Eighth street bridge. This line, it was proposed by city officers, might be used for freight traffic exclusively or practically so. Other Matters Up. Other matters, the excessive rates charged on "limited cars", the removal of trolley poles from Main street, the high speed of cars, etc. were touched upon. The traction company representatives took much data concerning the local situation which will be submitted to the head of the syndicate controlling both lines, and eventually, it is expected, application will be made for a farnchise to run over the city streets. When this comes up the city will proceed to specify what may and may not be done by the company with reference to its traffic. In the meantime, another conference will be held, but the date has not been fixed. This afternoon the Fairview bass ball team is scheduled to meet the Giants on the Athletic Park diamond in a contest for the city championship.

ENGINEERS MAY STRIKE BROTHERHOOD ON ALERT Officially Announced That Requests Have Been Made for Higher Wages and Better Working Conditions for All Employes. - Cleveland, 0.,Oct, 27. it was ohtclally announced at the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in this city that requests had Just been made, not only to the lines of Chicago, but also to a number of the big eastern systems, for higher wages and better working conditions for all classes of trainmen. It was aid that similar requests would. probably be made by that brotherhood to every other railroad in the United States between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The requests made by the engineers Include a revised and higher wage scale for the men and better working conditions looking toward shorter hours for a day's work. Oil a number of the western roads the engineers have requested that scientic tests for determining the condition of their vision be abolished, and that practical tests be made instead. Although the requests made by the engineers is entirely independent of those made by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Switchmen's union, these latter employes feel greatly strengthened in their demands. THE TROUBLE IS AVERTED. Not Likely That Railroad Trainmen's Strike Will Be General on the Pennsylvania. In commenting on the threatened dissatisfaction of employes in the Pittsburg district, one of the officials of a Pittsburg line says that there is no cause for alarm over the report that members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will strike, provided an eight hour day is not. established. He admits that executive officials of various lines are considering the demands of the trainmen and are disposed to treat the men in an honorable and fair manner as soon as a conference may be arranged, over which there is really no haste as the present wage scale will not expire until March 31 of next year. In the printed circular issued by the Brothererhood of Railway Trainmen no reference is made to a strike and the belief prevails that there will be no trouble on that score, . but that the wages and hours will be arranged satisfactorily to the railroad employes. THE SAUER KRAUT - DAYS. Time Here When the Winter German Delicacy is Made in Great Quantities.' These are sauer kraut days. The commission men say this is the best year for cabbage they have had in years. Everybody seems to be kraut hungry Germans, Irish, Scotch, everybody. Hundreds of cabbage cutting machines are being sold everyday in the hardware stores, but this does not begin to tell how much; kraut is being made, as one machine is sufficient for the use of an entire neighborhood. There is nothing on earth that a good German lends with greater pleasure than his kraut cutter. Bray or Lace. Patent

STRONG ARGUMENT USED PROTESTS COME FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRYRICHMOND OFFICES HOWEVER, STILL MAKING USE OF STAMP. Ever since First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock promulgated an order last week discontinuing in certain of the larger postoffices of the country the use of the back stamp on letter mail, postmasters in cities large and small hate been fairly inundating the authorities in Washington with requests that they be permitted to come under this ordinance, pointing out the great saving of time and labor, in the handling of first-class mail. Richmond postoffice still uses the back stamp, however. The plan was first inaugurated experimentally in Chicago, with such a decided saving to the department that it was decided to extend the plan to various other large cities; hence last week's order. But, contrasted with the welcome which it receives at the hands of the postmasters affected, is the lack of enthusiasm, nay, even disapproval, accorded it by business men all over the country. They point out that this discontinuance of the back stamp, showing almost conclusively as it does the time of delivery of mail, is likely to result In no inconsiderable trouble and loss to them. For instance, with the back stamp in use, they can readily determine on receipt of a delayed or overdue communication just where the blame lies whether with the receiving or the distributing postoffice and take proper steps for obviating the recurrence of such delays. Then, too, in case of a firm's failure to receive a certain communication in due course and a possible resulting law suit, it can be shown conclusively that the letter was not received in time for the proper contemplated action. There would seem to be much in this argument, but the final action of the postoffice department remains to be seen. THE ACTION IS NOT KNOWN. The Railroad Officials Wondering as as to What Interstate Commerce Commission Will Do, Jan. 1. . Railroad officials are endeavoring to find out what is going to be the method of the Interstate Commerce Commission after Jan. 1, but they have not as yet succeeded. The commission has ruled that where through rates are higher than some of the locals the railway may until January j 1 construct through rates on some of the locals, in that manner reducing the through rates. This is also taken to imply that through rates after that time must no be higher than the sum of the local and also to imply strongly that through rates may be reduced to less than the sum of the local.

HEAVY DAMAGES GIVEN

ACTION AGAINST TRUST Verdict of $66,50C Given to Buffalo Theatre and the Empire Circuit Company Suffers by the Judgment of the Court. Buffalo, N. Y., Oct. 27. A verdict awarding $66,500 damages to the Court Street Theater company of Buffalo against the Empire Circuit company, known as the burlesque trust, was returned by a jury In the supreme court. A motion for a new trial was denied by Justice Marcus and an appeal probably will be taken. The Court Street Theater company sued the Empire Circuit company for $100,000, alleging that it had conspired to ruin the business of the plaintiff by inducing managers to break existing contracts for engagements there un- i der threat of entire exclusion from the numerous burlesque houses controlled by the Empire Circuit throughout the United States. A number of managers did cancel their contracts and the theaters closed on January 31, 1902, and was never reopened. Protest Ruled Out. Cincinnati, O Oct. 27. The Citizens' Municipal ticket, against which a formal protest was filed with the election supervisors, by a vote of D to 1 Was declared valid and ordered placed on the official ballot.

Norris, charged with assaulting Harry Burckhardt of Cincinnati, with intent to kill, was indicted for assault by the grand jury.

"Yes, dat surely am Nick and Alice in de last apartment of dis car, but you can't see em, Mr. Newspaper man," said the colored porter of the Pennsylvania train Irom Cincinnati' as it came to a standstill in the station yesterday morning, and h"s remark was addresed to several newspaper men who tried to gain admission to the car, but who were com pelled to be content with a recital of personal observations on the part of the colored porter, who continuing said: Dey cut'nly ah fine people. Dey ah not swelled up like most people would spect. Ya when dey came In de cah at Cincinnati, dey smiled at me and shook my hand. Yefcsah man, they cut'nly did. Deys not stuck up.No siree. Dey ah modest about def fame too, I can tell dat. You shoo can't fool a potah dat has been on dis road for twenty years. No siree. Now when we left Cincinnati, N:ck he asks me to do something and I jes hurried and done it, and when 1 got back, wat do you spose he gave me? A doilah. Yes Siree. He am a gentleman and Mrs. Longwuth (with emphasis on the Long) she am cut'nly a lady. You know she am de President's daughter. Nothing Is too ' good for dem you can be yoh life. When a man treats me like I was his friend I shoam goin to Co all I can for him. An now you just look here, you dont get in dat cah to Inview dem. I knows dat dey dont want to be bothered with any newspaper men, so I ain't goin to let ye in. Hear?"

IS ARRANGED FOR Timothy Hussey to Address a Meeting at East Main Street Church Tomorrow. MR. HUSSEY AS A MEMBER OF NEW ENGLAND YEARLY MEETING HAS BEEN PROMINENT IN MISSION FIELDS. It was announced last night that Timothey Hussey, of New England Yearly Meeting of Friends, who came here early in the week to attend the missionary conference of Friends, will deliver an address tomorrow (Monday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at East Main Street Friends' church, relative to the mission work in the Holy Land, which is particular near and dear to him. Mr. Hussey is a conspicuous example of the sacrificing missionary work er. He is a man of means, and he has devoted both time and means to further the teaching of the Gospel in foreign lands. The mission stations in Palestine of the Friends denomination are under the special care of New England Yearly Meeting and Mr. Hussey has familiarized himself with every phase of the work as well as with general conditions in that country as a result of his many tours to the Holy Land. Mr. Hussey is particularly distinguished by reason of his being the first person who ever bought a foot of ground from the Sultan of Turkey, having acquired by purchase a tract of land in SJria for a boys school to be established under the direction of New England Friends. The rare diplomacy which Mr. Hussey was compelled to use in order to complete the purchase tis an interesting story in itself. Mj Hussey is a most entertaining speaker, a thoroughly conscientious nd indefatigable worker in the caus of Christianity, and being well accii I'nted with his theme, his address tomorrow should be of great interest.! The general public is invited tof attend. . Mrs. ustm s Famous Pancakes. Really ielicious.
