hr... NA,,, T.

Superintendent Walling has received
letter from person in Ohio, in which it
was stated that he had gained fresh clews
to the fate of Charley Ross. The writer
asked whether, if he should give nforma-
ton that would lead to the recovery of the
missing boy, the friends would be willing
to pay anything. Superintendent Walling
replied that he had not much faith in the
statement that information could be gained
that would lead to the recovery of Charley
Ross nevertheless, If such was the case,
he would guarantee a reward of $4,000.
SUDDEN DEATH.
A dispatch has been received from Balti-
more from Superintendent Walling stating
that William Hornfager arrived in that city
at 10 p. m. on Thursday, and died at the
Malthy house Immediately after his arrival.

Adam Saacke, who, 1t was thought, came
to his death by beng thrown from train

walking between the tracks, and that death

STRIKE AMONG THE CRIsPINs.
For the past week the hand sewers EN-.
ployed by Hanan & Reddish, boot aud
shoe manufacturers, have been on strike.
The firm a short time ago concluded to use
stitching machines and rather than displace
their old hands hired three expert mechan.
les to instruct them. These instructors
were approached by committees from the
Knights of St. Crspin and urged to join
the order, or discontinue work. The com
mittees were directed to the members OF
the firm, and were informed by them thai
they did not wish these men to join thu
order. At this stage of the proceeding
the old hands went on strike, and the firu
was obliged to hire non-society men iron
Newark, who were terrified by the threat
of the society men and stepped work. TIT
firm now has about GO men employed on
of the city on hand work, besides 35 mer
from Boston employed in the building ant
have beds and bedding furnished to them
A police officer is detailed to guard tn,
place from morning until night to proven
gatherings in the hallway and quell an,
attempted outbreak of the society men VIII
collect IN the vicinity.
