ment in favor of the proposed settle
mcnl of the Ablngton turnpike dispute
by having the city pave West Market
treet, In return for which the com
pany Mill deed over all Its rights to
I hat thoroughfurp.
.Mayor Jloir stated yesteida.v to ,i
Tilbuue man that i-e M-as heartily in
favor of the idea. "It seems to be a
most excellent plan." said he, "and I
think that It should bo taken advnnt
agrt of at once. There seems to be
nothing' to prevent our acceptance of
the offer, as I understand the linger
ji.ii t of the. pioporty owners ,, ult,
stieet Maut u jiuve. They're the people
that j iay for ll, and If they want It.
the city .should mil stand In their way."
Tlio joint committee of councils Ap
pointed to consider the matter will

arrange for a conference with J'lesl

CARBONDALE.
THE STRIKE TO GO ON.
At a Large Meeting of Employes
Imst Evening This Action Wns De-
elded on The Strikers Claim That
tho Central Labor Union Commit
tee Which Waited on Mr. Frleder
Was Ignorant of tho Real Condi
tions A Committee of Each Class
of Workinon In the Mill Will Visit
Him Now.
Tho silk mill strike will continue. A
mectltiff of the strikers was held hist
ovenhiB In McTIrIio's hnll, nnd the re
port of tho committee which waited on
Atr. Ftiedor wns received. Owlm? to
tho iRiioranoo of tho Central I.nbor
union dploKtitcs of tho technical terms
of tlio silk business, tho committee did
not thoroughly undot stand tho mutter.
It had boon tho committee's Idea
that the raise offered by Air. Ftiedor
applied to nil tho employes of tho mill,
but tbo strikers claim It applies to only
one of the several frradcH of hands at
woik. Mr. Fiicdor'H offer, ns tho cum
inlttoo understood It, was to pay fif
teen cents ier frame jior nluht. Five
frames constituted a night's work, so
this would net tho employe seventy-live
cents per nlBhl. In addition to this, ho
would Rot a bonus of twenty cents each
nlKht, mukltiK 11 total of nlnoty-llvc
cents.
Tho employes claim that this rnlo
applies only to tho "Hist lime spin
ners," while tho other hnnds would not
be benolltted. Air. Frlodcr claims that
he Is now jiaylim: lilRher rales than any
of the other mills In this vicinity, ami
ofl'eied to pay the expenses of 11 com
mittee' to p,o Ttnd InvestlKiite tho mat
ter. The union committee reported the
conditions. as they saw them, but loft
the question of a settlement entirely to'
the bands. A vote was taken and they
decided lo stay out. The men present
sturg-csteil that a committee bo un
pointed to wait- on Atr. Frleder, the
committee to contain representatives of
each class of workers in the mill. Tho
siiRKestlon was followed out nnd the
committee was appointed. It will draft
a schedule of ihe rates wanted, which
will be presented to the superintend
ent. If he reruses to slsn It, be will
lie asked lo Kivc a written statement
of what ho will rIvo for the strikers to
act on. Tho committee will be accom
panied, probably, by the members of
the Central T.abor union committee.
MINES SHUT DOWN.
.
Coalbrook Breaker Fails to Keep Up
with Output of South Side Mines.
The Powdeiiy, Coalbrook and Xos. I
and 'I mines, located on tho South Side,
and all under tho Delaware and Hud
son mairenient, uere shut down yester
day, and the streets of the central
city presented the same sort of ap
1'oaTanc'c that they did duiiiifr the ie
cent strike. Knots of men were stand
inj," on till the street corners and
lot mod lilies out in the center of the
street In many places.
The cause of tho shutdown Is that
Coalbrook breaker had proved inade
quate to jn-ppare all tho coal mined
for It. Tho four collieries had pot so
far abend of It that It was deemed
advisable to shut them down to ciiteh
up. When this breaker was construct
ed it was said that It was the Inrgcst
In tho world, that it could eat up coal
faster than it could be mined, and lots
of other cxtravaRant statements were
made.
It is said by tho'se who jirofess to
know that a new breaker, similar In
most details to the present one, will he
erected by the company on the South
Side. At present the coal from the
illiferont openings, which varies in
quality, Is mixed in the breaker,
whereas, It" a new one was constructed,
this could be obviated to a Rival ex
tent. It was said, however, ii.nt one
of the nuiln objaets of the rompanv
In erecting tbo Coalbrook breaker, was
to be able to mix the coal, thus Ret
ting a uniform grade.
The miners think that steps should
be taken to remedy this laylng-off evil
as soon as possible, for, with tlio ju-es-cnt
limited capacity of the breaker
their iiRRieRate time In the mines Is
noi greatly Improved from the condi
tions which existed before the strike.

There were eight bidders for the con
struction of the live battleships nnd six
armored cruisers. AH of the bids were
within the limit of cost tlxcd by the
appropriation. There wore a number of
modifications from specifications In
many enscs, however, so that a care
ful Inspection will be necessary to de
termine which of the blds'nre actually
the lowest. The indications on the fncs
of tho bids are that the successful bid
ders for one or moie vessels will be the
Nowjiort News company, the Cramps,
the Fore Hlver works, of Massachu
setts, tho Union Iron works, of San
Francisco, and jierhaps Aloran Bros. &
Co.. of Seattle, AVnsh.
A naval board will consider the bids
and report upon them.

the cruisers to $3,G00,00n each, and of.
the battleships to ?4, 250,000 for the'
sheathed and ?4, 000,000 for tho un

pleased with tho result of the bidding,
so far as he could perceive It from the
hasty reading of the bids.
