the ship-carpenters joiners and caul-
kers of New York and vicinity, which
was inaugurated five weeks ago to put
into 1orce the hour system of labor,

satisfactory understanding. The men
receive aid from the various trade So
cieties throughout the country and are
thus enabled to hold out against the
old regulation of ten hours.

pose OF negotiating sale of some rich

full. They leave town highly delighted
with the sale. they have effected, and
with their visit. --

BOSTON, May 6.-Henry G., Wheeler,
President of the Florida and Bruns-
wick railroad. and agent for the Atche-
son and Pixies Peak railroad, whose ar
rest has been announced, was yester-
day before the Supreme Court on pc
tition for reduction of bail. he claims
that 200 bonds were his. in payment
for services rendered in disposing
of one thousand of the same
bonds for the company in a foreign
market, and the failure of the foreign
negotiations was by reason of the COM
pany's understandable interference
The company claims that Wheel
er's ownership in the 200 bonds was
contingent upon his successfully dis
posing of the other one thousand that
these last bonds remain uusOld in the
European market for some time and
finally wers returned to New York,
and then, therefore, he is not entitled
to the possession of the 500, 900 worth
of bonds, having failed to fulfil the con-
ditions of the contract; OIL of the bonds
have been recovered and it was propos-
ed that the bail be reduced to CORES
pond with the remaining S109, 900. The
c4ise was not finished.
