NEWS OF THE WEEK
AT HON e.
OHIO.

CUYAHoGA CoUNTY.-From the Cleve-
land Leader we clip: The anniversary
exercises of the Jewish Orphan Asy-
lum, located on Woodland avenue, be-
gan Tuesday, July 10Th and continued
through the following day terminating
in the evening with a picnic. d. The
new Sunday liquor ordinance went into
effect Saturday. and was very generally
observed throughout the city. The dis
position manifested by the saloon keep
ers when assembled in their meetings,
together with the precautions taken by
the city authorities, were such as to in
spire the utmost confidence in the gen.
eral observance of the new measure.
The saloon keepers about Superior and
Bank streets were dssirous of the pas
sage and thorough enforcement of the
ordinance, and none would have been
more disappointed than they if any-
thing had prevented its operation. A
number of Ger nan saloon keepers were
informed by their lawyers that the law
was illegal but they obeyed it by keep
ing their places closed during the whole
day.
MAHoNING COUNTY. From the
Youngstown Register we CLEAN as fol-
lows The old Brier Hill Furnace made
the largest weeks work last week. that
it ever has made; the total product being
225 tons of pig metal :. During the last
week considerable trouble has been
brewing between some Italians who are
working for a sub-contractor named
Forest, on the Painesville road near Gil
rard, and their employer. There are so
many different statements of the trouble,
that it is difficult to arrive at the truth
in the matter, The statement of the
Italians is that they have not been paid
any money for nearly six weeks work
and they cannot get food for their work (.
The statement on the other side is that
work, but that they were induced to
leave their present employer to 90 to
work elsewhere, and that they insisted
on having their pay for the work that
they have done in July, which he could
not give them before the regular pay
day, because he could not get the money
for his work from the company, before
the end of the month, when it is meas
ured up by the engineer, and estimates
are submitted. Be that. as it may, the
italian laborers on Monday, made up
their minds to make fuss. On Tues
day morning, the trouble was satisfac-
torily adjusted, and the Italians having
received their pay, went ON their way
rejoicing.
