Get Together on Wages and Work er Ing Conditions and Thus k ' Avert Strike. W . JUDGE.' KNAPP IS MEDIATOR Wage Scale Raised But Not As Much As Demanded En gineers Next. Norfolk, Feb. 4. After repeated- conferences trainmen on the Norfolk Southern Railroad and the manage ment of , the. road have reached ;an agreement concerning wages and work ing conditions, This was brought about by Judge Martin A. Knapp. of the United Slates Commerce Court in Washington, who effected a settle ment Saturday between the road and its conductors. Engineers, who arc also demanding an increase in pay, will try to bring about arbitration through Judge Knapp and the United States labor commis bioner. They 'have kept clear of the controversy between the railroad and its conductors and trainmen. , Val Fitzpatrick, vice-president of the National Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen before Judge Knapp, said yesterday the-men were satisfied with the outcome and were glad they se cured what - they were after without a strike. The wage scale was raised biit' not as much as the" men demanded. A demand by the trainmen that the ratio of negro to white labor be not increased was granted. This was one of the clauses in the petition drawn up by ; the trainmen over : which-, no, agreement could be reached for months. ' The petition carried also a request that the pay of negro workmen be increased, although negroes are not members of the brotherhood. "'.' Judge . Knapp, Mr. Fitzpatrick and William Clarke, vice-president of the National Order of Railway Conductors, are ready to leave Norfolk. Judge Knapp has been here twice. The others have been in Norlolk for nearly a month. ' It is not knpwu when Judge Knapp and the commissioner of labor ' will take up demands by the engineers, if this method is taken to effect an agree ment.

GRADED Waylays Well Known Citizen As He Starts To Drive Through Gateway to Farm. WAS CARRYING LARGE KNIFE Arrested, Bound and Locked Up. Grand Jury Now Con siders Cas?. G. B. Ha-dir.n of Thurman was in the city yesterday and appeared before the Grand Jury, as a witness against Oscar Stamps, a notorious colored man who lives near Thurman end who is chraged with holding up Mr. Hardison list Sunday night and attempting to assault him with' a deadly weapon. According to Mr. Hardison's narra tive of the incident Ihe affair was filled with harrowing details and will doubt less long be remembered by him. He had been away from home during Sun day afternoon and darkness had fallen when he reached his farm. There is a large gate through which one must pass before entering the premises and on one side of this stood a negro man. Just before reaching the gate the negro ordered Mr. Hardsion to stop and when the latter failed to do this the negro attempted to drag him from the buggy. Whipping his horse Mr. Hardison managed to escape the negro's clutches and went to the home of a relative near by to secure' assistance. After getting reinforecements Mr. Hardison returned to the secne of the encounter and found the negro still remaining by the gate. He was told to throw up his hands. At first ho refused to do this but when he saw that Mr. Hardison wa3 armed with a shotgun his hands went into the air. Upon being searched a large knife was found on his person. This was taken from him and he was securely bound and brought to New Bern and placed in the county jail. , Mr. Hardison is one of the best known citizens in that locality and the attack on him created a great deal of excitement when the facts became known. . Yesterday the Grand Jury investigated the affair and if a true bill is found the negro will be tried .it this term of Superior Court. Great chance for reports of peach crop failures this spring. C L SEVEN . BLACKS TAKE SEVEN DOLLARS FROM CARTERET - COUNTY CITIZEN. Sheriff. R. B. Lane yesterday sent two of his deputies to Thurman to locate ; and place under arrest Ben Taylor Remus' Hawley, Sam Canady, William Leary, William Wallace, Cole Coleman' and , Edward Fagari, colored,, on warrants charging them with assault ing and robbing a Mr. Daniels near that place last Sunday, afternoon. ' '' ; Mr. Daniels' hone is at vedar Island, Carteret county, and fori the past few weeks he has been located at Hardison's beach engaged in fishing. Sunday after noon he went for a walk, through the country ; and, accidentally ran across the crowd of I negroes. The. negroes were intoxicated and as' soon as they saw the white man they surrounded and seized him and threatened to take his life if he did not give them all the money he;had..;: rt'". ':? ' V si: V At that time' Mr. ,Danle!s ' had only about seven dollars and he handed this over to 'them without any 'delay, realis ing that they were too much intoxicat ed to know what thev were doing and fearing that they might do him bodily harm." r .. ".' .'..'--,' .He 'was then released and went at once to a magistrate and, swore out warrants for them. ' When the negroes sobered upland realized (he seriousness of their offense they returned psrt of the money and asked Mr. Daniels , not to prosecute them." However, the warrants were then in the hands of the officers. The men, if located, will be brought to New Bern and placed in the county jail until a preliminary hearing can I held. .

HEMES WRIT Mi Judge Oliver Allen Dispatches Business With Prompt 'ncss and Dispatch. VERY FAIR AND IMPARTIAL Seventeen Cases on the Docket For Retailing Spirit uous Liquors. L At the beginning of the present' session of Craven Lounty Superior Court there wen: ninety two cases on the criminal docket. Yesterday the' court got right down to business and began to grind out the cases in such a manner that by the close of the day's session the docket had been considerably decreased. Judge O. H. Allen, who is presiding over the present term oi court, has made a very favorable impression with the attorn-jys and wph the public who attend the session. This is lis first visit heie in an official capacity for teveral years but he is still handling the court in the same manner which years ago won for. him the envied reputation o? being one of the be9t judges oja the Superior Court bench. Fair and impartial in every detail yet discouraging unnecessary delays, he handles the business of the court with promptness and to the satis faction of all fair-minded persons. In looking over the docket it is found ihat out of the ninety-two cases there arc seventeen in which the de fendants are charged with retailing; spirituous liquors. Five of these have been continued from past terms. The majority of the cases are for assaults with deadly weapons and carrying concealed weapons, while the others involve the crimes of larceny, forgery, false pretence, The first case taken up yesterday morning was that of the State vs. Mary Taylor, colored, in which the defendant wa3 charged with retailing; spirituous liquors. She entered a plea of not guilty and so earnestly protested her innocence that the jury brought in a verdict setting her free. Lemue' Ernul was found guilty of larceny but sentence has not been passed. In the case of the State vs. Anderson and Tripp, tried on the previous day for an assault with a deadly weapon and in which the jury returned a ver dict of guilty, judgment was suspended upon the payment of the costs of the case. Charles Edwards plead guilty to a charge of retailing. Sentence in this case has not been passed. Alonzo Pritchard was found guilty of retailing spirituous liquors. Sen tence iot pronounced. Luther Conrad, Martha Conrad and Charles Farmer pleaded guilty to a . charge of participating in an affray. Judgment was suspended upon con dition that each pay his part of the costs of :hi case.
