The BriclkIayers. a4
At meeting OF bricklayers last night re-
ports were made showing that about $25,-
600 have been expended in carrying on the
strike. A resolution to appoint commit

such sums as the different trades unions
may be disposed to contribute to the strike,

adopted. r tffr ftH
misunderstanding at the SPRING.
I field Armory and Workshops.
There is little unpleasantness at the
Springfield armory and workshops. About
two months ago an order came from Wash
ington making eight hours days work,
and since that time the men have been
working on that system, with the UNDER
without reduction. On Thursday, how
ever, Col. Benton told the men informally
that he had instructions from headquarters
that their wages would be cut down pro-
portionately; that all whowished could
work ten hours and receive their old pay for
the same. This was an unlocked for turn in
affairs and all hands quit as usual at four
o'clock, with the determination to work
eight hours only and take the chance of
receiving full pay. 1-sls ~ - 1-sua-
Council Board Arrested.
One of the most serio. comical affairs
ever perpetrated in this city was the arrest
to-day of the whole Board of Common
Councilmen for contempt of Judge Bar
nard, of the Supreme Court, in not obey
ing an injunction of said court. The writs
for their arrest had been in the hands of the
Sheriff several days, but they could not be
found. By previous arrangement the Coun-
ciImen met quietly at their rooms at the
CITY Hall, to-day, and proceeded to transact
business. They had just passed a resolu-
tion admitting to seats the five members to
whom they heretofore denied that right,
and by that denial threw themselves into
contempt of the order of Judge Barnard,
when the deputies of the Sheriff appeared
in their midst and declared them all under
arrest. A motion to adjourn was carried.
They then formed in line, and, headed by
the Sheriff and his deputies, marched to the
Supreme Court. The Court had, however,
adjourned, when the Sheriff put them each
under parole oath to appear next Tuesday,
and they dispersed. The whole affair is
regarded here as farce. -EsP7Fia
-s Mortality.
The deaths this week were seven hundred
and thrty-one, an increase of nearly one
hundred over last week, owing mainly to
diseases brought about by eating diseased
beef. Several persons who attended the
Methodist camp meeting are said to have
died since arriving home, from eating the
meat of diseased cattle, sold them at Sing
Sing.
Hog Disease.
The hog disease has broken out among
the swine at Hampstead, Long Island.
Arrested.
Three men, claiming to be detectives,
were arrested to-day and held for trial on
charge of following two citizens for several
days past.
Coffin Passed at Sea.
A coffin, with crow standing upon it,
was passed at sea off Montauk Point, yes
terday, by pilot boat. -i-T =
~ The Cattle Panic.
By the report of one of the Health In
spectors, it appears several diseased cattle
have been sold to butchers, who have sold
them for meat to our citizens. One man,
who keeps dairy in Duchess county, con-
tinued to send milk for several days to the
city, knowing the cows were sick, and even
sent it from some seven OF them on the
days they died. He has now been prohib-
tied from sending any milk to the city.
=. Fast Trotting Time.
Dexter's trotting quarter OF mile IN
thirty seconds creates a sensation In sport
ing circles. His trainer is confident that
Dexter will do mile In 2:12 before the end
of next autumn. 1t is reported that Bon
ner has just declined S1O0,0O0 for the horse.
At the Old Game.
Policeman Carkey, of the Sixth Ward,
was shot last night by unknown rowdies,
and dangerously hurt.
