FELL ON TEE IC Kathaleen O'Hara, a young girl TOL DESTIN Two Women and Two Small Children Found Living in an Abandoned Woodshed on Thomas Avenue, Without Even the Bare Necessities. Some wecks ago there arrived in Sayre two middle aged women, both of whom were shabbily and thinly clad and who were accom- panied by two small children, barely out of their swaddling clothes. The women gave their names as Liza Christman and Mary Lewis and until coming to Sayre said that they had been res siding in Wheelerville, this state Both were married and they told tales of marital woes and tribu- lations that accounted for their presence in this place. The hus- band of one of the women, it appears, had become enamored of another woman and concluded to elope with his fair charmer and leave his wife and her child to shit for themselves. The other womad had also had a disagree- ment with her husband and a separation followed, the husband leaving the wife and also a small child. The two women in some unknown manner met, compared their troubles and as their mis fortunes seemed idedtical, they resolved to migrate to Sayre, having heard that this place offered excellent oppo rtunities for work. Accordingly they expended what little money they possessed for railroad tickets and in due course of time arrived in this place. For a time they were given shelter at the home of a friend of one of the women, but as the latter were un- able to obtain ready employment, and their two little children were somewhat in the way, the friend announced the other day that they would have to get out. While this announcement was not. at all pleasant the women re- solved to make the best of it. They also resolved to set up house- keeping for themselves. A wisit was made to a second hand dealer and the women secured an outfit consisting of an old fashioned cook stove, a small mirror, 6 plates, 3 cups and 3 saucers, salt and pepper shakers, 3 sheets, 2 pillows, a bed, 2 quilts, a wash dish, a spider, tea pot, 2 vegetable dishes, 3 chairs, a dishpan, kettle, a washtub and washboard, all of which was pur- chased on the installment plan The outfit was removed to an abandoned woodshed in the rear oi Thomas avenue, and in this hovel the women attempted to keep house The goods which they had secured were the cheapest the dealer had, and the low wooden structure, through which the chill winter winds found easy access, afforded but littls protection. Had they been able to secure food the efforts of the women to keep house might have been suc- cessful, but this morning H. D Angell, who conducts a store on Thomas avenue, went to the wood- shed and it did not take him long to discover that the women were absolutely destitute. There was not a scrap in the house to eat and the women admitted that the larder had been practically empty for some time. Mr. Angell at once notified the authorities. The latter secured tickets at the local station and the two unfortunates with their little children were sent back to Wheelerville. The case is one of the most attention of the local authorities in| a long time, and had the husbands | of the two women been present summary justice would have been | meted out in a hurry.

The communication refers to the great battle in the general eight-hour campaign which will take place on the first of next month. The council believes on that date at least ten thousand printers under the jurisdiction of the International Union will be on a strike. The communication further recites that on this issue will depend the result of the eight-hour movement. For four months the union has contest- ed the inauguration of the move- ment and it has more than held its own in citics where strikes were necessary, The real struggle will coming month, and unions, of which the Sayre local is one, are requested to call special meetings to discuss a ten percent designed to provide the sinews of warfare. strike it is believed that £60,000 per week will be necessary to con- duct the struggle, and in order to is holding a situation ten per cent of his or her weekly wages.

Since the eight-hour fight began they ment of fifty cents per week and they think that this is all they can stand. If the ten percent assess- ment plan is carried it will go into will take the place of the fifty cents | a week assessment. The ten per] cent assessment is to continue at the discretion of the executive council or just as long as it is nec- essary . to continue the eight-hour fight. While the local printers are per- fectly willing to assist their striking brethren in any reasonable manner they insist that the ten percent tax will be burdensome and way out of proportion to the exigencies of the case. In the cities where printers receive large wages the burden will not be felt so much, but in the country the followers of the Art Preservative have always been forced to work for a low wage scale, and from what can be learn ed from the local printers it is quite likely that the ten percent proposition will be turned down sO | far as they are concerned.

HEAVY EXPRESS BU BUSINESS | As a slight indication of the | DOORS [L05ED Insufficient Capital Assigned as the Reason for the Temporary Embarassment of Charles U Ingham The doors of the grocery store which has been conducted for some time past by Charles U Ingham at No. 132 Desmond street were closed last night pend- ing a settlement with creditors. Yesterday the Record received a communication from George T. Ingham, father of Charles Ingham in which the former states that the business is about to change hands The elder Mr. Ingham says that recently an inventory of the stock on hand was taken, and that he is about to buy the stock, settle with creditors, and will continue the business provided satisfactory ar- rangements can be made. The firm was started three years ago with Charles U. Ingham, Harry T. Ingham and George T. Ingham Harry In- gham was taken sick and thereby forced to quit the business. He died later at Buffalo, Owing to a pressure of other business George T. Ingham retired from the firm some time ago, but creditors will iclaim that there were no dissolu- | tion notices published at the time Since that time, however, Charles has conducted the business alone Insufficient capital is given as the | cause for his temporary embarass~ ment. It is understood that an effort will be made to settle with creditors and it is hoped to have the matter satisfactorily adjusted without resorting to bankruptcy | proceedings. as partners, S—— A ————— A "GREEN" CHRISTMAS Unless there is a radical change | during the next forty-eight hours | the prospects for a “green” Christ- | mas are excellent.
