PROFIT SHARING. A Chicago Firm Finds the Scheme a Complete Success. Chicago, April 22.—A year ago the firm of Norton Bros., in this city, decided to adopt the profit-sharing system with its employes. The firm promised to divide a certain portion of its profits for the year among tho employes who worked, for the firm for at least six months during the year, and who had not left their work with out the consent of the firm or who had not , been discharged for cause. The firm guar anteed the sum to ho divid' and to be not less than SIO,OOO, and expected the men to refrain from striking or in any way interfering with their business. The men readily consented to this arrangement, and yesterday the firm divided $13,275 amongst 250 employes, each employe re ceiving a sum in proportion to the amount earned during the year. Each employe re ceived nearly 7H per cent, on his earnings. The earnings of the men ran from SSOO to $1,500 in the year, and each therefore re ceived from S3B to $123. The system re sulted in general satisfaction all around. A LOG RAFTER DROWNED. 1 One of His Companions Goes Over a , Falls but is Rescued.

The Employers and the Strikers on the Eve of an Agreement. Philadelphia, April 22 —lho brewers’ strike was practically settled to-day in a conference between the Secretary of the Philadelphia Brewers’ Association and two representatives of the Knights of Labor. The question of wages had been satisfac torily settled at a previous conference. The conference to-day had to deal with tho demands of the strikers, w ho wanted to be taken hack in a body ana have tho present employes discharged. This tho employers would not listen to and the secretary was instructed not hi yield any on this score. The difficulty was finally adjusted by both sides agreeing that the employers retain their present hands, and that the Or j dor of the Knights of Libor be recognized in dealing with the men, but that no force lie allowed to compel those not in the order to join. This decision will have to receive the approval of the two local assemblies to which the strikers belong. STRIKE OF THE SILVERSMITHS. The Men Decide to Fight the Edict Against Labor Orders. New York, April 22. —At a meeting of the locked out silversmiths to-day it was re solved to twist tho demands of tho Manu facturers’ Association that the men must not belong to any union. A committee of thirty, representing all branches of the trade affected by the action of the employers, was appointed to meet the bosses with a view to settling the trouble. A representa tive of tho Silver Workers’ Union stated to-day that the men of the Gorham Works, at Providence, it. 1., would be called out to morrow if the terms of the men were not agreed to. The men say they will not leave the union, which is the local assembly of the Knights of Libor, and the manufac turers are equally determined to run their own business without interference from District Assembly No. 49. A bitter light is anticipated. Tailors Have to Surrender. Milwaukee, Wis., April 22.—Tho strik ing journeymen custom tailors gave up their fight to-night, 350 men being ordered to go back to work to-morrow. The bosses had ignored the union and the men were unable to hold out longer for lack of finan cial support. High License Beaten. Dover, Del., April 22.—The Legislature adjourned (sute die this afternoon. Among the closing nets of the session was the defeat by the Senate of tho House high license bill. This leaves the liquor laws precisely as they were before the Legislature met. HEATING THE EXPRESS TRAINS. How Depew Proposes to do Away With the Old-fashioned Stoves. From the New York Evening Sun. When a reporter stepped into tho Presi dent’s office at the New York Central depot he found Mr. Depow in his working clothes just like the rest of us. “Well, what’s the matter i" said he, genially. “Oh, nothing’s tho matter. I merely want to know whether the steam ear heat ing arrangement moves satisfactorily, and whether it will be extended to other trains than the local ones." “Well, it operates well on the local trains of six or seven cars. What it will do when it is harnessed to fourteen cars remains to be seen.” “Can I look at a technical description of, it?" “Oh, yes. You will find it in the Gen eral Manager’s office. Mr. Toucoy will show it to you." The reporter, as he walked down the cor ridor. had time to note how well behaved n four-tracked railroad is; how genial and pleasant it is, as if always making an after dinner speech. Ho wondered how it added itself up, and carried one to the next column; how it divided and multiplied itself without getting out of temper; but concluded that tho figuring was all done by machinery, so that the officers had time to observe the amenities of life, ho proceeded to the Gen eral Manager’s room. “This is Mr. Toucey,” said the graceful s'oung man who acted as usher. If he hadn’t said so, and if he hadn’t looked so in tensely truthful, the reporter would have concluded that he hail stepped into the room of good old Bishop Harris just returned front a rousing campineeting with the echoes of the shouting of the brethren and sisters yet lingering in his eat*, for there he seemed to sit, with a great bread, round face, with a smile so much brooder and rounder that it had to scurry around through the whiskers to see if the double chin couldn’t take it in. With a merry twinkle in his eye, as if he were saying to himself, “if there is any fun in this fellow I’tn going to have all that, Depew has left," ho asked, “What can I do for you ?' “Well, they’re slyly running Chauncey Depew for Prendent, and the people are warming up on the subject, and T thought 1 would drop in and see if you were keeping the heat up in your ears under the new steam arrangement.” “Now you are not in earnest, are you, about that Presidential matter!” “Oh, yes; that is slightly. Mr. Depew said that you would let mo see tho drawings of the steam apparatus." “Certainly I will. But see here, I’d like well enough to see Chauncey President of the Uuit/ a States, but I’d awfully hato to have him leave here.” The young man brought the plans, which showed that the apparatus uses live steam bv putting a pipe in the dome of the locomo tive, with a cut-off valve in the cab. to which is attached a reducing valve. From said valve a small pipe passes beneath the footboard of the locomotive, to which is se cured a metallic joint, which conforms to every motion of the iron horn*. Under the tender a main pip l runs, carefully wrapped so as 10 prevent condensation. On each end of the main a metallic joint is screwed and strongly bracts! to the tender frame. A continuous wrapp'd pipe runs from one end to the other of the cars, under the coach. On each end are screwed metallic couplings. Valves to pre vent steam blowing ofT in the rear, should the car be the rear one, are properly placed. An angle valve is under the end of the seat to shut out of 0110 car without cutting off any other. The coupling is made of metal, and easily adjusts itsolf to every motion of the train. Having studied all this out the reporter asked: “Well, how does it work?” “Oh, we can heat with steam if we can only catch on to it.” “Does it work well on the local trains, and will it do on the larger trains!” “You can heat anything with strain if you only get at it. But what we have to master is how to manage our through trains. We drop a ear or two at Syracuse, another perhaps at Rochester, and on - at Rome. Due goat to Kt Albans, ud 00 on.

Too Sharp Business Talent Results in Severe Punishment—His Ability to Rise to Every Emergency—His First Yachting Experience How He Waded Ashore. Correspondence of the Philadclj)Kia Prets. New*York, April 9.—At the residence of a club man, whose reputation as a ra conteur is nearly as great as that of his Burgundy, I noticed a pretty model of a jib and mainsail yacht. Replying to my ad miring inquiry tho club man explained: “That is the model of a boat upon which were passed some of the sunniest hours of my life. She was owned by tho Cruger family, of Cniger-ou-the-Hudson, and has an added interest from the fact that upon her Jay Gould acquired his first yachting exjierienee, and so eventful a one that I’ll bet ho remembers it to this day. “The Cruger*—ouo of the oldest and best known families in the Stats intermarried as they are with other Knick erbockers like the Schuyler*. Livingstons and Van Re'.i-“ulit*r* —owned all the land in the neighborhood of the station subsequent ly named after them. A portion oi this property consisted of a brickyard, which was rented to the son of old Schuyler Liv ingston. It was in 1853 or 1854, aud Jay Gould had just failed in the tannery busi ness in I‘euUMsylvnnia. “Young Livingston's leased brickyard wasn’t paying, and 110 concluded that it needed n shrewd business moll at its head. He advertised for a partner, and one day there appeared in response a small, dark gentleman, looking scrupulously neat in his black broadcloth. He gave his name as Jay Gould. Pending negotiations, Mr. Gould became the guest of the Crugors at; the old mansion on the hill. Every effort was put forth to entertain him during his stay, the more so as ho seemed to regard favorably a partnership with their young friend. “One day Mr. Cruger invited Gould to take a sail to Xewhurg and got ready his yacht, of which that model is a reduction. Several of us youngsters were taken along to help work the boat. Eugene Cruger, a nephew of the yacht’s owner, was one of its. Peekskiil was reached aud the whole party went up to the hotel. WHEN GOULD WOKE OVERALLS. All the way up the river we had noticed that Mr. Gould was uneasy, shifting about constantly on the deck, where he sat. and squirming and twisting as if seeking to find a softer spit. Nothing was said about it. of course, but when we landed Mr. Gould him self furnished the explanation. l’V°m the heat of the sun the yellow paint* on the boat’s deck had become baked and chalky and it was not long l>c fore the little man discovered that the dry powder was coming off on his trousers. Hence his uneasiness. lie concluded by say ing he was afraid ills broadcloth nether gar ments would be, if they were not already, rained aud was determined to abandon the trip and return by rail. This Mr. Cruger would not hear of, and promised to obviate the difficulty. We all adjourned to a gener al store, ana Cruger bought, for two shil lings and a half, a pair of jean overalls. These Mr. Gould put on when he went aboard the boat, and expressed his unquali fied satisfaction at the result. “On our trip back from Newburg we again called at Peekskiil, and once more the party started for the hotel. This time Gould declined the invitation to take some thing and preferred to remain on board. About on hour was spent in the hotel, when suddenly Mr. Cruger remembered that he wanted some white load, and young Eugene Cruger and I went with him to the store to carry it down to the boat, “flow’d the overalls work, Mr. Cruger, was the salutation of the storekeeper. Then before an answer could be returned, he added admiringly: ‘That friend o' youm is purty shrewd.’ “ ( ‘W ho, Mr. Gould j Yes, he appears to be a thorough business man.' “ ‘Well, I slid say so! He kin drive a mighty sharp bargain.’ “‘Drive a sharp bargain?’ repeated Cru ger, all at sea. ‘What do you mean!’ “ ‘Why. don’t you know he was in here 'bout three-quarters of mi hour ago, and sold mp back the overalls you bought for him.’ “‘Thunder, no!’ roared Cruger in aston ishment. “ ‘Well, sir, he jest did that. Ho Item in here, tolo ine he’d no fu’tlior use for ’em, that they was as good as when i sold’em, an’ after we'd haggled awhile lie ’greed ter take two shillin’ fur ’em, which I paid him. Hero’s the overalls.’ “lean shut my eyes now," went on the jolly club man, with a hearty laugh, suiting the action to the words, “and call up Mr. Crugor’s face with its mingled expression of amazement and incredulity. He left the store in silence. Not until we had nearly reuobod the boat did 110 speak. Then lie only said, ‘Boys, I'll lix him for that!’ Wo reached home without any reference to the incident. On the way back Mr. Gould sat upon his pocket handkerchief. MR. CItUGER'S RETALIATION. The saute night Mr. Cruger perfected bis plan. Next (lay Cruger proposed 11 fishing partv. Mr. Gould declined to go. He had concluded, lie said, uot to take an interest in young Livingston’s brickyard, and would return to the city on the afternoon train. A business engagement, involving quite a sum had to lie kept. Hi:> host argued with him, but for a tiiuo to no purpose. The sat urnine little man had a tremendous amount of determination in his composition. Final ly a compromise was effected, it 1 icing agreisl that we should put Could off at a slution in time to catch a train. That lie must catch it without fail, he most emphatically de clared. "The day passed on and wo wore off King Sing when wo saw the smoko of the coming train. We hod been running tree before the wind, bnt immediately Cruger, who was at the stick, shove*! it down: we hauled 111 on the sheets and headed for the Kastorn shore. Gould was by this time on his feet dinging to th(' windward coaming, the deepest anxiety pictured on his fac*'. Just there the water shoals rapidly. We were within fifty feet of the shore, opposite the railroad dejiot. The time had now come for < Yager's revenge. ‘“Let go the main and jib sheets!’ he shouted. ‘Down with your board!’ “Never was order more eagerly obeyed. The sheets whizzed through til* ■ blocks, ready hands slipped out the pin and jammed down the centiv-lionrd and i:i a second the vtuiit, with u grating shock and slinking ails, came to a stand, fast on th** sandy bot tom. There she was bound to stay until ttie obstructing Issu'd was lifted again. •“What's the matter;’ exelsiined Gould, anxiously. Of course ho had not detected the ruse, tor he knew no more uhout the working of a yacht than a sea cow does about the different ial calculus.” •“I'm afraid we’re aground,’ replied Mr. t’niger, with a line assumption of Hiidness. 'li ie. get out the sweeps imd push her off.' “We struggled with the long -Mil's in n great how of unlor, while (JouM wet a si us in hreuthlesH sii.'p'nse between hope aud fear.

Then he started for tho shore, his short, thin legs working back and forth in a most comical fashion as he strove to quicken liis pace. The station platform was crowded with people. and very soon the strange figure approaching them was descried. A peal of laughter from 500 throats rolled over the waters to as, the ladies hiding their blushes' behind parasols aud fans. The men shouted with laughter. Finally the wader reached tho ba“e of the stone wall, and for a moment, covered with coufusion —and but little else — stood upon a rock, one scarlet leg uplifted, looking for all the world like a flamingo on the shore of a Florida bnyou, while the air was split with shrieks of laughter, in which we now unreservedly joined. Then came the climax ot' the joke, which nearly para lyzed the unfortunate victim. “ ‘Haul in on your sheets, boys, and up with the boat’d!’ was Cruger’s order. As the yacht gathered headway and swept by within ten feet of tke astounded Mr. Gould, we laughingly bade him good-by, ad vising a warm mustard bath when he got home. “Then his quick mind took in the full force of the practical joke wo had worked upon him. but ills dark face was a study for a painter. But the. train had already reached the station, taken on the passengers and the wheels were beginning to turn again for its run to the city. As Gould scrambled up th* wall, his glossy black suit still Dressed affectionately to his bosom, the ‘AH aboard!’ had sounded and the cars wore moving. Every window was filled with laughing faces ns he raced over the sand and stones and was dragged by two brakomon on to the rear platform, panting and dripping. The last glimpse we caught of him was as tbo train entered the prison tunnel. Then, supported on either side by tho railroad men, ho was making frantic plunges In liis efforts to thrust his streaming legs into his trousers as the platform reeled and rocked beneath him." “Did ho ever return Mr. Cruger tho 2s. ?” tho writer inquired. “Return tho 25.!” 001100(1 the club man. For a moment he was silent. Then, as an retrospective gleam crept into his eyes, ho slowly shook his head and, with seeming ir relevancy, replied: “I—guess—you—-are—not — very— wrell— acquainted—with—Mr.—Jay—Gould.” MR. CRUGER VERIFIES THE STORY. The above story was submitted to Mr. Eugene Cruger, at his residence, No. 1211 Lexington avenue, together with the inqui ry as to its accuracy. Mr. Cruger made the following reply: “[ must say that I can’t imagine who can have furnished these par ticulars, for most of those who took part in the incidents related have gone forever. Whoever the informant may be, however, it cannot be denied that you have received a time account of what occurred. I enjoyed the affair at that period, but time has softened things and the recollection is not without its unpleasant side.” FOREST FIRES. A Large Scope of Country Swept by the Devouring Fiames. From the Wrightsville (On.) Headlight. At the time the high winds were prevail ing last Saturday fire broke out on the old Sherrer plantation, now owned by George Wynn, near Ball’s ferry, in Washington county. Nearly, if not quite all, the fenc ing inclosing the plantation was burned to the ground. A child narrowly escaped being burned to death, a tenant’s house, with effects, were consumed, and several hogs and a calf confined in a lot also per ished. On the same day the Bob AYood place, situated three miles south of theJWynn place, was destroyed. No houses on this planta tion, however, were consumed. Most of the fencing, consisting of several hundred pan els, was destroyed. The plantation of our fellow-townsman, T. J. AiTine, adjoins the Wood place, and but from tho fact that the waters of Deep creek separates the two farms, Mr. Arlines, too, would doubtless have sustained serious damage by the fire. Three miles from the AYood plantation, 011 the place known as the old Bowen planta tion, serious damage was done. Six hun dred or sou panels of fence were burned on this place, and tho houses were seriously threatened—so much so that the dwellers at once removed their effects. The house escaped, but several articles of bed clothing aud wearing apparel were fired by the flying sparks and consumed. 011 the William Anderson place several hundred parvis of fence were burned. The raging wind carried everything in its course, and it was utterly impossible to get the fire under control. Blazing limbs and chunks would be carried for a long distance in the air, and falling, would communicate with adjoining plantations, creating con sternation and fear among the people for miles around. Indeed it was a serious time, aud many suffered in consequence. Reports of tho destructive conflagra tion are various and conflicting, and it is almost impossible for us to get at the ex- I tent of tho damage done. However, it is reasonable to presume that the result of the fire has proven very disastrous to many of the farms in AVashington county. To resume: On the Winn Underwood plantation considerable damage was done. Not a rail was snared. On'(‘ii Young lost a considerable quantity of fencing on his place. William Anderson was also a sufferer. He Paid. From the Detroit Fee Press. A smart young man who engaged tho services of a bootblack at the post oflico corner said, after the job was finished, that ho would see the youngster later. “How later*” demanded the boy. “Well, in a month or two.” "Going off without paying me “Haven’t any change, bub.
