New York, May 4. Steamship piers are piled high with freight which can not be moved and fifty steamers lie at anchor in the harbor, unable to reach the wharves because cf the strike of marine engineers which has tied up 450 tug boats composing about 75 per cent of the craft engaged in such ser vice in .New York harbor. The only relief on this, the fourth day of the tie-up, was afforded by the action of some of the railroad com panies in acceding to the demands of the engineers. Among them was the Lehigh Valley railroad whose tugs are in operation, together with those of the New York Central and the New York, New Haven ami Hartford rail road companies. Owners of about thirty other tug boats have also yield ed to the demands of the men. Other companies declined to pay the in crease in wages. With the expected arrival of the steamships Tuscania, Espagne, United States and many steamers from Cen tral American and coastwise ports, a further increase of the congestion is foreseen. The situation was aggravated by a small strike of longshoremen at some of the piers and by the intimation that a general striko of 40,000 longshore men might be called to support that cf tho engineers. Notice cf a strike of 30,000 garment workers were posted in 2,000 factories here yesterday. Tho strikers will join the 20,000 others already out on strike. INTERESTING SUIT BEING FOUGHT IN COUNTY COURT Yesterday a case was on trial in the county court that attracted the entire countryside from the section cast rd fouth of Union and a greater part of the population w;as - present as wit nesses in the case either for one side or the other. The action was brought by Orin Ervin against Cary Stottler and was over the replevin of four horses by Mr. Ervin from the posses sion of th? defendant. The testimony in the case was quite conflicting as the plaintiff claimed to have wcrkod for the defendant as a corn shucker as well as doing other odd jobs for which he had not been paid and had later placed his horses, consisting of one bay colt, one clay- bank colt and one bay mare in a pas turr? owned by Mr. Stottler, and when he desired the possession of the ani mals it was refused and he found it necessary to take procedure of law in order to secure them. The animals are valued at $320 by the plaintiff and for being deprived of their use for a time he claims $50 damages. The de fendant denied the charges as to work performed by the plaintiff and charged as to work performed by the plaintiff and charged him with hav ing damaged a buggy wheel for the defendant while enedavoring to fix it, and claiming that he should be com pelled to pay this amount. After a large number of witnesses were exam ined the case was passed over until Friday when it will be argued by the attorneys to the judge to pass upon. PRIMARY ELECTIO i. WAS XPENSIVE . TO TAXPAYERS The recent primary election, when the smoke of battle rolled away, was r,nc that was quite costly to the tax payers as well as the candidates who were participants in the conflict, and it shows that the ballot of the citizens expressed at the polls has cost them a neat sum and the total figures will i-each $1,700 by the time the claims are all passed upon and allowed. Among the larger items cf expense of the election is that of the judges and. clerks which reaches $892.80, and the supplies, totalling $300. For the rent of rooms for the holding of the election in the different precincts it cost $211.20 and for the ballots $250 This certainlv rolls into money fast but assures the citiens of the oppor tunity of selecting the men they de sire for the nomination for the differ ent offices in the state and county.

Yes! DIDN'T GET OUT OF TOWN SOON ENOUGH AND IS FINED On Tuesday a resident of Iowa giv ing the name of G. D. Curtiss made his advent in the city and in' the course of a few hours accumulated a large and assorted load cf distilled spirits of corn juice, which made his navigating a matter of great difficulty and fially resulted in his getting in the clutchss of the police and being lodged as a guest over night at the city jail. The man promised most faithfully to return to Iowa and tear fully pleaded for release, which, was finally granted and he was requested to seek the land beyond the Missouri as soon as possible.
