fAsHTONS-THE CIGAR-MAKERS' STRIKE
.THE WAR AGAINST RUN, ETC.
NEw YORK, Nov. u, lS11.
To the Editor of the FREQ Press and Timss.
The Vanderbilt will case is adjourned to
Dec. 4th. 1t is the cngrossing topic of con-
versatOn, everywhere. Scott Lord, the at
t0rnev for the contestants, asserts that he
can prove that as far back as 1855. there
was check signed Cornelius Vanderbilt,
paid for lot OF groceries to be shipped to
California. The signature was forged.
William II. impressed his father with the
belief that it was Cornelius who had uttered
it, and the two family physicians got out
writ Of lunacy, and Cornelius was seized
and hurried of to the BlOomingdale asylum.
Fortunately the chief Of that asylum knew
Cornelius, and refused to receive him. The
conspirators excused themselves with the
plea that they did it to save him from
criminal prosecution for forgery. Corneliu.
demanded legal investigation, bat at the
urgent request of the Commodore the matter
was dronped. Mr.. Lord expects to show
that for twenty years William systematically
conspired to blacken Cornelius and keep him
in dlsiavor with his father, that in the end
the vast property the old man had accumu-
lated would come to him. If the will il
broken, the Vanderbilt power will be gone

The CIGAR MAKERS STRIKE.
The cigar makers strike continues though |
the strikers are evidently discouraged. About |
thousand Cinnamon have been brought on |
from San Francisco, and they are at work. |
But more serious danger threatens them.
The manufacturers have discovered that a |
woman can learn to make fair cigar in two |
days, and an excellent one in a week, and |
they are taking them on by the thousand. 1t
