Manager Sims Says Employers and Men Will Settle Differences. BALTIMORE, Md., Sept, ill—(len- oral Manager C. 8. Sims, of the Built. denied this morning that the company had received an ultimatum from its employee. “The employee and officials resume their sessions this morning," said he, 'and will consider the grievances as presented last week. Not one of them is considered important They refer almost exclusively to minor division in arriving at an amicable settlement. During the entire negotiations the best. of feeling has prevailed and the cun- miilees themselves are exceedingly i‘li‘ uoyed that. those strike rumors should be given credence. We do not expect a strike and I am positive that none will occur." The committee on grievances, at the head of which is D. II‘. Cottmau, chulr- man of the general committee of the brotherhood of every trainman, is in c'osed sessions this morning. The members of the committee decline to make: a statement but will probably do so latter in the day. The demands of the llultlmorc and Ohio Railroad employee are 140 in numhcr, 137 of which are of minor im- portance and will either be granted by the company or not insisted on by the men. The three chicf demands are. first. that when switching during over- time the men shall be paid both the amount specified in the agreement for 1wltching and for overtime as well; that an cxtrs wage scale shall be appll. ed when one crew is compelled to handle the freight cars of a train pull. ed by two engines; and that it be no longer compulsory on them to join the relief department, the men objecting to the insurance terms offered.

The annual meeting of the Stamford Poultry Association was held Tuesday evening, in ‘be rooms of the associa tion in Main slrect, Stamford.

David Nichols, of Shelton. William H. Card, of Bristol, and John H. Drovenatedt, of Johnstone, N. Y.. editor of the American Fancier. The fourth judge will probably be W. Stanton, of New York, a fancier of in- ternational reputation. Following the election of officers. there was it general discussion of the dotall of the third annual exhibit which will be held in the armory. Jan. 26-29. 1904. Considerable regret was :enerally expressed that no more suit- able or commodious building could be ull‘lll'Pd in this city. At the last or hibit. it was only with the greatest difficulty and ingenuity that room could be found in which to place the birds for exhibition. The American lI‘ancicr in a recent issue, says of the exhibit: *‘lt is us it has been one of the 1111‘ out and best conducted shows in Ann crics. That is sufficient guarantee that the 1904 function will be equal to the best. Being purely a fanciers' "how. it brings out. the best birds and the best faiiciers. be thcy big or little. it is a plessuro to uttt-ntl this fine cx» hibition, and that is why everybody ‘piugs for it." to‘ borrow Theodore Howes's expression.“ SALVATION ARMY'S PLANS. Capt. French. who has lost resumed charge of the work of the Salvation Army in this city. has expressed him- self as much pleased with the pros- pect for sucrcss of plans which the Army has In view for the extrusion of its operation, and for making its work more effective. The army will shortly remove to new quarters, prob- ably In the neighborhood of Pacific street. Captain French is known throughout thisIand other states as one of the most earnest and enterpris- ing officers In the Army. That his present work Involves much selfIsac- rlfice is known to his friends. He left a position as linotypc operator, at a high salary, to become a worker for the Army, and has had many opportu- nities to return in his former employ- ment.
