F.omls and Kinployes Represented Before tho Interstate Commerce Commission.

Washington. Dec. regarding an extension of time 10 railways to equip their cars with life-saving appliances began yesterday before the in- trestate commerce commission, a number of railway representatives being present, together with the chiefs of the various railway labor unions. John Cowen, a receiver of the Baltimore and Ohio, was the chief speaker for the railways. The single question presented to the commission, he argued, was the method and extent of the extension, because unless an extension was granted interstate commerce must cease.

He urged that the extension be for five years, with provision for an equipment of one-fifth of the cars each year, thus working up to full and complete compliance. He further said It would cost from $40,000,000 to for the railroads to comply with the law. This money must be earned. If the commission declined an extension the roads would be absolutely unabLa to equip their cars out of their own. resources.

The cost, he said, must come out of the wages of the employes if the roads were to be driven beyond their financial ability. P. H. Morrissey, representing generally the railway employes' unions, said that the associations for which he appeared were a unit in protesting against any such "unreasonable extension" as had been proposed. Five years, he said, would render the purpose of the law nugatory.

During the past five years 2.000 railroad men have been killed annually and between 20,000 and 25,000 injured. OC these casualties 60 per cent, were directly attributable to the two evils this law was designed to correct. He replied rather heatedly to the intimation of wage reduction thrown out by Cowen. "I speak in no defiant spirit." said he, "but I want to say that when the question of a reduction of wag.es is presented to us we will meet it." He insisted that the maximum extension must not exceed a year. The hearing closed with a somewhat sensational exchange between Cowen and Jlorrissey.

Cowen in closing warmly repudiated the idea that Gompers or Morrissey in any way represented the employes of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Those employes, he declared, had no; been consulted, and he resented the quiet assumption of the labor leaders that they represented the workers en the road. He warned the commission against the humanitarian view urged by these gentlemen. The perils of the new appliances he said had not been established. Statistics on his road showed that they killed more, but maimed less than the old system.

In a business matter, he said with some temper, it was always dangerous to yield to alleged humanitarian considerations. He used no veiled irony In his references to Morrissey's assumption authority. The latter jumped to his feet when Cowen sat down. He had tried, he to occupy a fhroug'nout the hearing. He Old not Hesire to give offense, and he had main- taintd silence while the statements at the i-jpresentatives of the railroads were being made, but he said he deemed it his duty to reply to the insinuation of Cowen that he did not represent the railway trainmen.

He refused to be discredited, and he denied that he had assumed authority not invested in him. Eighty-five per cent, of the employes of tfie Baltimore and Ohio road, he said members of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and at the Toronto convention last year he had unanimously been empowered to state the position of its members to the interstate commerce commission. Every division of the Baltimore and Ohio had been represented at the convention. "I said the question of a year's extension had never been presented to the employes of the Baltimore Ohio." interrupted Cowen. "and I repeat it." "The Toronto convention." retorted Morrissey.

"voted against any extension." He then explained further that he had appealed to the convention not to tie his; hands, but to leave him free to use his judgment, and that discretion had been accorded him. KURAL POSTAL FRKK DELIVERY. Hint, to Farmers as to How They Can Help It To Be successful. Washington, Dec. 2.

Acting Postmaster General Perry Heath has issued the following circular regarding the rural postal free delivery: "The ultimate success of the experiment of free delivery of mail which is now being tried by direction of congress in fifty rural districts of the United States will depend largely upon the promptness with which the carriers can make their deliveries to the'patronson their route's. This will be greatly facilitated if those desiring to take advantage of rural free delivery will erect suitable boxes by the foa'd side in. which carriers may deposit mails a's they pass, and from which they may collect the mails intended for transmission. "The time which would otherwise be consumed by carriers in reaching residences some distance back from the road will thus be saved, the service will be rendered more efficient, its cost will be reduced and the probability of its becoming a permanent feature of postal administration will be increased." SIX FIRMS BURNED OUT. Fire at Sr.

T-ouis Costs the Sufferers Well Insured. St. Louis, Dec. Fire was discovered in the F. O.

Co. paper factory on Locust near Third street at 3:30 yesterday afternoon, and within an hour the establishment was in ruins and a number of adjoining buildings were badly damaged. The general loss is estimated at over $200.000. Just how the fire started is not known, the flames sudderly bursting from the building. It highly ir.liammable material and' was soon a roaring furnace, the fire communicating across the narrow street to the "eonomic bindery plant, the Young-McKinney Printingcompany, the Missouri Engraving company, the Wooclward-Tiernan Printing company and the Higgens Map Printing company.

A general alarm had been turned in, but the network of wires and the narrowness of Locust street at the spot prevented the firemen from getting actively at work at the seat of the fire. There were- 100 employes in the paper factory, but all made their escape in safety. All the losers insured. TWO FIFTY POISONED. Patients In a Hospital Made Sicfc by Something in Kootl.

Rallipolis. Dec. Two hundred and fifty patients at the Epileptic jios- pital were poisoned yesterday by toxic poisoning, it is presumed. Dr. Rutter and his corps of physicians succeeded only after a desperate fight in checking the outbreak without a fatality.

As it is of the patients are still in a critical condition. Dr. Butter is not apprehensive, however, believing that he will be able to allay the evils of the poisoning. The presumption among the hospital physicians is that the infection came from some article of food eaten by the patients, and the bacteriological department is making a rigid analysis of the food cooked during the past few days. Some think a deleterious drug was placed in some of the victuals and that, with the disruption extant at the institution over the wholesale discharge of employes, has put the institution in the throes of great excitement.

The poison is similar to that which happens occasionally from eating ice cream that has bred toxic poison. Wants to Make This Ghost Walk. Jackson, Dec. Delfred W. Gould, a railroad engineer, who has been supposed to be dead for the last five years, is in jail here charged by his wife with non-support.

The same body of rioters set fire to a house at Ziszhcow, but the flames were soou quenched- In various other parts of the city and the suburbs windows were smashed and German signboards demolished.

Condemned jr.nrderer's Confession COM- tinueii Case oi Mistresn. New York. Dec. 2. When SherrtC Dohl went to see Martin Thorn yesterday morning the condemned prisoner said he had no appetite for breakfast, but he felt that a big load was off Ms mind.

Thorn did not talk as though had any hope of getting a new trial. He supposed, he said, he would have to make up his mind to meet the worst. Mrs. Xack spent a restless night, being evidently much affected by the conviction of Thorn. When she heard of the verdict she wept and expressed sorrow for her former lover, although she says her conscience is relieved.

It is understood that Mrs. Nack will be arraigned in court this week, when her counsel, Emanuel Friend will in her behalf enter a plea of guilty of manuslaughter in the first degree and that the district attorney will accept the plea. In this Youngs would be recognizing Mrs. Xack's action in turning state's evidence at the first trial. Lawyer Howe denied In strong terms the statement that Thorn, after his conviction Tuesday, confessed the killing and dismemberment of Guldensuppe.

Howe expressed his belief that tha court of appeals would reverse the verdict. Police Captain Methven, Of Long Island City, said yesterday: "There are some discrepancies in the published report of Thorn's confession, but the mala facts remain unchanged. Thorn made part of the confession to me and part to Sheriff Dohl. From what Sheriff Dobl told me. I can truthfully say that confessed that he killed Guldensuppe."
