Conrad ruled that, all •
din ante must come before the vote was
taken.

rett, who were of the same opinion as Mr.
Taylor, the chair reversed his first ruling,
and decided the amendment oüt of order.

discussion of the or
A. Raid on tramps.
A Number of Vagrants Arrested and
Committed to Jail.
Oue of the most successful raids made by
the police lately was that of last night upon
the tramps at the West Yard, and in which
35 men were captured. David H. Wingate,
the watchman at the yards, assisted by
Sergeant Hatton and a squad of police made
the raid and brought them to the P., W.
«te B. station In a freight car, from
which they were transferred to the
City Hall, where they were looked up until
this tnorniug, when they were given a hear
ing on the charge of vagrancy.
Each when called had some excuse for
his being found where he was and all
claimed to have come to this city yesterday.
This excuse in five cases, upon inquiry was
found to be true aud they were accordingly
discharged, but in all the other cases the ex
cuse failed to work and they were com
mitted for 20 days.
Besides the batch arrested at the West Yai d,
Detective Jones, assisted by officers Vickers
aud Cannon, arrested three tramps at Clay
mont and they were committed 'or 15 days.
The Detective stated that the railroad
the tramps boarding freight trains, and had
of late become so bold that they would in
many instances board passenger t rains aud
not hesitate to sleep in the railroad stations
and when ordered to leave would become
abusive.
Charles Wilkinson, colored, who gave his
residence as Elkton, and who was arrested
in the lot from the West yard, after a severe
tus6el with Sergeant Hatton, was arraigned
ou the charge of assault and battery upon
the charge of the sergeant, and was fined $3
and costs iu connection with his being com
mitted for 20 days.
ThB number will greatly reduce the
tramp contingent of this city aud will no
d mbt have a wholesome effect upon those
who may have decided to come to this city.
The majority of those captured stated that
they were on their way to the fruit districts
in search of work while quite a number
stated that they came here iu the hope that
they would get work on the
railroad.

Philadelphia, August 2—Master Work

o'clock last night saying that at a secret
meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Western Union Telegraph Company held in
New York on Wednesday night a resolution
had been passed asking the resignation of
Acting President aud General Manager
Eckert. The dispatch alleges thi.t the resig
nation was promptly tendered aud as
promptly accepted. It is alleged that this
was brought about by the discovery made
by the director* that Manager Eckert had
misrepresented the tre** slate of affairs aud
the real strength of the strikers. If this re
port proves true

An urgent appeal for funds was issued
yesterday by the striking operators of Cam
den, addressed to all members of the Broth
erhood who have secured employment in
this city. The first circular, which requested
Individual contributions of from two to
three dollars, was supplemented later with
a notice stating that the District Executive
Board had ordered au assessment levied
equal to 10 per cent, of every working ope
rator's salary. The demand was received
with indignation and it is improbable that it
will meet with any response of a financial
character. A number of the Camden op

Brotherhood. Nearly all of the striking
operators are out of town and in consequence
no meeting was held last night. Sixty-six
operators were on duty at the main office of
the Western Union and a large volume of
business was handled.
New York, August 2.—Reports to the

position as general Manager of the Western
Uuion Telegraph Company are pronounced
by officials of the company to be entirely
without fouudatiou.

business was all cleaned up last uight and is
now moving promptly.
From various sections of the country the
most satisfactory state of affairs was re
ported, striking operators returning to work
each day, and in most of the offices the force
is as large as before the strike. In many
cases it is reported that the members of the
Brotherhood who desire to resume work
find their places occupied aud are obliged
to apply elsewhere.
