Mr. Boyer waa represented by Mr. Charlea Hughea aa attorney Morris and Cause appeared for Mr. Keen, and Mr. B.

F. Bicholson for Mr. Warne. Mr. Hughes aaked to hare the case continued, saying tha books were now in nee by tha eeeignee, and that tha civil case in the County Court waa dereloping facta material to the eriminal ease.

Tha question of the bank's insolrenoy waa there being in. 'veatigatod, and tha eriminal proeeoution should wait for tha result of that investigation. Mr. Hpghee said he had not had time to collect the necessary evidence. Mr.

Morris, on behalf of tha defense, objected to a continuance, and Mr. Bioholaoa said that the eriminal proceeding waa only an effort to collect money. Nevertheless the ease waa oontinned till Jan. at 10 o'clock in the morning. Mr.

Warne'a bond waa renewed, with Mr. Ham. mond aa surety. On Mr. Kean's bond Joseph M.

i aaa NO STRIKE AT PULLMAN. Everything will be going on aa usual at tha Pullman shops Monday morning. Yesterday morning's conference between tha piece, workere and Manager Sessions eonrineed tha body-builders and finishers that half a loaf I. than no bread, and they signified their 5 willingness to resume work on Monday at tha new rata of wages. Tha blacksmiths, however, were not as missivs, and they determined to meet again behind locked doors and disouss their prospects.

Accordingly, 100 smiths and helpers met at 3 o'olock yesterday afternoon in Turner's Hall, Kensington. The men stood in groups about tha hall talking over the situation. Their determination seemed to be to hold out for the old wages. When the meeting opened a few radical speoches were made, but they were not enthusiastically received, and before tha adjournment of the meeting, at 5 o'olock, the temper of the smiths had undergone a radical change. A committee of six waa appointed to wait upon Mr.

Sessions, and at 5:30 o'clock the second conference waa held. The interview was brief. At its conclusion Manager Sessions announced that all but one or two of the oomn itteo were in favor of aocepting the company's terms and returning to work Monday. The dissenters were not extreme in their opposition to such a course. Chief Clerk Tonrtelotdid not eonaider the matter as a strike in any sense.

"It is eue- tomary," he said, "for the men to take a day for the consideration of changea affecting their wages. Theyare not permitted to hold mass-meetings in the works; so they meet in halls at Kensington or Uoseland. That is what they did in this instance." A gentleman in authority at the works aaid that there was not now a contract ear being built in the shops. The piece workers, he said, bad fonnd that their rates were so Uiberal that there waa a tendency to dopieOes enough in seven or eight hours to bring a day'a wages and to "soldier" the rest of the tune. This and the sharp competition among car-builder and the scarcity of work made a readjustment or a partial snut-down necessary.

The average wages of the bmiths has been 4.01 per day, against 3.75 in similar The new seals will make it 3.00 to PRIVATE BANKERS TO MEET. The private bankers of Chicago, have been to attend the meeting 'to' be held at Farwell Hall, Friday evening, Jan. 'under tha auspices of the Tax-payers' Association, the purpose of which is to furnish "the public protection from insolvent private bankers. Of course tha movement grows out of tha failure of the Pre'ttyman and Kean banks. Tha plan is to have tha "beakers file' with some proper public official a bond that will ha ample eecarity against tha loss of tha deposits of a bank.

Soma of the private bankers hava expressed themselves in favor of the and those who are opposed to it will probably hesitate to say so, unless they are unable to give tha bond, in which case tha depositors eartainly need protection. It ia argued that thia plan will rid tha city of irresponsible eonoerns, such as tha Kean bank. Mr. B. Oi vena, president of the Tax-payers Association, has formulated this plan.

A wrangle ensued early In the meeting, "Cold Wave" insisting that ha had been cheated out of hia regular employment by being obliged to withdraw from bnaineso on aoeonnt of "Holiday Trade."

At thia stage of tha seeaion a committee of Barometers arrived and began1 preaaing the Thermometers for mora room in which to play. A perfect squabble then ensued, so that when a reporter called for tha reoord of the eeaeion, a committee of three waa ehoaen to select a anokeaman. The aommittM anmUt of "Cotdf Wave," "High Wind," and "Fair Weather." After soma discussion tha committee selected Sergeant A. B.

William Slomans, a Jew, has dona a very extraordinary thing; ha has embraced tha Christian faith.

Once in a long while obe hears of a Christian embracing tha Jewish faith, but rare, indeed, ia it that a Jew be-eomes a Christian. In renouncing hia faith a Jew sacrifices' nearly everything that mankind holds dear. Mr. Slomans haa taken thia step. During tha last weak he was baptized into the Christian faith at tha LaSalla Avenue Baptiat Church.

MR. ALLERTON'S TURN.

In tha diaonasioa between leading stockholder of tha Chicago City Bail way Company aa to tha auggeatad change in tha manage, meat, Mr. Samuel M. Allertoa haa thia to aay: To the Stockholders of tha Chicago City Ball-war Company. On tbe publication of my latter, several of tha stockholders ware interviewed by the papers, and prominently among the views expressed, I noted the etatemeats of Mr. L.

Z. Letter. This renUeman aaid that I had made "statemente" which war not warranted by tha facta. I therefore beg leave to discuss wherein I have departed from tha facta, First, aa recarda Mr. Pearsons' betnr left out in tha call for tha secret meeting, I wonld say that aa I did not aee his name among the list, I supposed that ka bad been excluded along with tha rest It appears, ho ever, that he waa informed of the meeting aad full justice should, and ia, hereby dona Mr.

Letter and the others for thia display of eoofldaose ia Mr. Pearsons. Ia the second place, I am said to have departed from the facts in making a suggestion that per hapa the action of the secret meeting was Intended to depress the ateok of the Chicago City Railway Company ao that It could be bought ia cheap by somebody, and thia "unwarranted state, ment" of -mine la shown to be auch by Mr. Latter, by th extraordinary iogtotbat such a thing is an absurdity. oat bow much of an absurdity this ia I trill dlaeuas a little further on.

Somaeh for my statements which ware not warranted by tha facta. Now it would aeem aa though a mil wo bases the whole force of hie reply upon tha grounds of a misrepresentation, ahould ba vary careful in his rebuttal to hava hia own facta absolutely above reproach. This la not the ease with Mr. Letter, as be deliberately ehargee ma with being connected with Mr. Holmes in his outside schemes.

This is positively lr-correct Regarding the theory referred to above that the secret meeting may have been to depress tha Chicago City Bail way Company 'e stock for pur-poaea of personal profit (all ef which ia aa absurdity). I would say that facta, personal statements, personal interests, and general reasons why such a thing ahould 'be dona are tha things to be considered, and aopoo-poohing shall drive me from recognising the aeriousnesa of them. Now, Mr. Letter is a large stockholder In the Weat Side Road, and was formerly a director in the old Weat Division Railroad. Any one who knows Mr.

Leitrr knows alao that when ha is interested ia anything be asuallr knows what going on. and if he ta Ignorant of the plans and intentions of tha West Side Road, It ia an exception to hia regular business methods so marked aa to excite comment. Now, aha Weat Side read la making active, strenuous, and persistent efforts to eroes tha tracks of tha Chicago City Bail war at Madiaon and Bute atreeta, and alao to make aaa of our alrea dy overcrowded loop, in order that they may run their cars srouad through Madison, Wabash avenue, and Lake aad State at reeks. Thia would result in destroying the effleiency of our transportation facilities, and would ba a practical bottling up of our road. If affaire reach thia pass, what would be the next step? First to buy In the stock of the Chicago City Railway, then depressed in value and thrown en the market by small and timid holders; and, second, to ptavai 1 on the Board of Directors of the Chicaa-o City Railway Compaay to build a naw loop.

Aad where could suck loop ba built except through Jackson and Taa Bnren streets? Mr. Letter states that tha South Side Road has been running down for twe years, and ha leads aa to infer that his wish to secure control ef tha road arises from a desire to run the road as it should be ran. As far aa tha condition of tha road sad the satisfaction of tha pablie with their treatment by tha road are concerned, a simple teat can be mad any day. Ak any resident of the South Side hia opinion, and he haa but one answer. This test can alao be applied on the North and West Sidea.

Now. tf Mr. Letter eaa rssprov oar property any, ne ona woald hail auch a maaager mora Joyfully than would bat I must aay that I must first be satisfied that tha Chicago City Railway Company is going to receive his full and disinterested talent, and even then I ahould not be running ever with confidence In hia abilities if the present condition of the North and West Bide road is tha result of hia council and guidance, or if even the former condition of the old West Division Bai I road caa be taken aa a criterion of wnat ha eaa accomplish as the managing mind of an executive body. I consider it my duty, ee a director of our road, to submit the above thoughts in order that yon may ponder them wall before the annual meeting. Respectfully yours, S.Moax W.

Aixutom. BULLA AD HELD TO THE GRAND JURY. Young Eph Bollard waa committed to the Criminal Court yesterday by Justice Prindi- vuie, nilard la the young man who confessed that ha had been robbinar Oilea Bros.

It ia generally understood that tha feeling at all Lake Michigan, Superior, and Huron porta ia in favor of Mr Bwan.

He haa had muoh experience in the trial of admiralty oases, is good lawysr.and a thorough gentlemen.

Tm not such a bad-looking girl, am Petite Patrioe aaid thia, as she looked at her reflected self in a mirror, at tha aame time removing har hat and wrap. She had Just returned from bar Saturday matinee, and, aa har visitor, a reporter for Tb Inn Ocxah, answered har question and there waa only ona way on earth to answer it tha pretty little aetreea continued: "I don't see why Mr. Blakeelee did not want to marry me.

I'm sura I'm not old enough to ba hia mother, and, aa yon say, I know Tm quite pretty. There must be eome mystery." There ia a rumor in oxlatenee," aaid th reporter, "to tha affect that your breach of promiss suit against Mr. Blakealee will ba abandoned as aoon aa yon leave tha city aa tha free advertising in tha idea will last only during tne present engagement Ia it true?" Patriee'a big blaok eyes gave quite a vicious nap aa aha replied. And what ahe aaid certainly ahowed that aa far aa ahe waa concerned Mr. Blakealee will hava tor fight tha ease very hard.

Patrioe doesn't feet very much like dropping th case now that ah haa taken it up, and her fickle lover will have to go into court and explain away lot of funny things, if he can do ao. Love letters ara bad things to have around, especially when tha other party haa them, and aa soma in Patriee'a poeseasion ara very inter, eating even to "a rank outsider," they will be doubly ao to the gentleman who has gone back on the red hot vows, promises, and declara-tiona he put on paper during the infatuation aeaaon. Some very interesting stories ara to ba told in the court and several prominent young society people will ba witnesses. Among these will be Mr. O.

Huntington, a bookkeeper for Armour A Co. Thia gentleman ia said to be indirectly responsible for all thia trouble, and agony, and regrets, and broken vows, and discarded sweetness, and forgotten bliss. He it was who introduced Patrioe and Blakealee. Mr. Huntington doea not aay that be regreta it Miss Patrioe certainly doea not Mr.

Blakealee is undecided. At any rate there will be some fun when the cold-blooded eourta of law get hold of the pretty little billing and cooing atory, and rudely gives to the staring outer world ail the sweetness and honey that eama into the brief but very Amelie Bivea-lika courtship of Miss Patrice and Mr. Blakealee.

New Haven, special to New Tork Ttews: Jamea Grant, an eleetrieian, who ia aa. aisiant to William Smith, of tha New Haven lira alarm telegraph eery-loo, two waeka ago located, break in one osV' the insulated cables in a very unusual man. ner and after long-continued eftorta la tha ordinary direction had failed. Tho break had axis ted for nearly a month, aad during that -time the fire alarm holla of tho city rang at intervals in a very oeoentrio manner. Superintendent Smith and hia men aearched for, tha eure af the trouble day aftar day with-, out finding any trace of it and tha matter be.

came a veritible mystery in th department A suspicion prevailed that tha eeientifle students at Tale had developed a practical Joke and were in eome way canning tha fire be 11a to ring. Later developments, however. proved that tbe students were innocent A week ago Saturday night a single stroke on the balls aroused tha fireman, at about 1 o'olock and sent tha horaea at ovary station hurrying to-their plaeea at tha engines and wagona. Jamea Grant at No. 7, jumped np with the other and waa diaguated to And that -the etroke bad been caused by tha aame old trouble which he and tha other olactrieiana were unable to discover.

Mr. Grant went out and made a brief and unsatisfactory investigation, and then returned to hi bad and went to leep thinking of tha mystery oi tha While alaeping dreamed that tha trouble waa at Box 641. Whek be awoke ha remembered hia dream, bat at first gave little thought to it But the idea that there might bo aomething in tho dream gradually forced itself upon him, and ha concluded that the vicinity of Box Ml might aa wall be examined as any other part of the system. He repor ad bis dream to Mr. Smith, tho superintendent, and was laughed at The superintendent afterward thought, howsver, that there might be some eoineidenee, and the next day he, with Grant and other, inspected tbe wirea at Box 641.

Thia box ie situated at tha top of ariatohratia Prospect Hill, in a rather remote part of the city, whioh would probably have never occurred to Fireman Grant aa a plaoa where a break ia the wirea might be expected it he had not dreamed of it Lea than ona hundred feet away a disconnection in one of the insulated wirea waa discovered. The wire was broken in anon a way that the nda were pushed together ai various inter. Vela. Thia waa enough to oeuae all of the eccentricity, but Superintendent 8mith waa skeptical, and resolved to aee whether any more ringing followed before ha aoeepted thia break aa the one whioh bad caused all tha trouble. Not an uneooonuteble stroke haa sinoe been heard.
