How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In j JAMES BOSS

sufficiently thick to admit Of all kinds OF

LABOR TROUBLES.
Strike of Cabinetmakers at
Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, September 22.-The con-
troversy which has been going on for
the last two weeks between the cabinet
manufacturers and their workmen re-
garding an advance of wages to the
amount of fifteen per cent, Gu minated
at noon to-day by general strike OF all
the men, over a hundred in number.
The strike involves all the employees
OF the furniture factories, including cab
inetmakers, machine hands and finish
ers. The first class are paid by the
piece, the second by the day and the
last by methods. A reporter this after
noon saw a number of the strikers. They
say that many of them do not get more
than - or s. per week, which is not
enough for a man to live on. In Cincln-
natl and New York wages average high
cr. The fall trade in furniture Is
opening up very prosperously, and the
men think they ought to have a share
Of the profits. Their demand is
for work both by piece
and by day. The hard times
through which We have passed, have
been very severe on the workmen, ana
now that things are looking brighter, we
wish to derive some benefits by the
change. The reporter talked with sew
eral OF the leading proprietors in regard
to the strike. Each expressed deter
mination not TO accede to the demands
of the wOrkmen. Said one manutac-
turcr: 1--WE have more men than we
have work, and if they want to strike,
let them; we can get along very well
without them" The proprietors say
that if the workmen had agreed to wait
until about the first of January, they
would have pledged themselves to make
an advance then voluntarily; that flush
times have not prevailed long
enough to justify them in doing
So now. The several manufacturers
told their men that they would pay
them some extra for their work, but
nothing less than complete yielding
to the demand as made would be ac-
cepted.

BUFFALO, y. Y, September 22.-ln-
terest in the coming boat race, between
Courtney and Hanlan, is increasing
every day, and the event itself, SO far as
appearances 90, promises to be the
greatest race ever rowed in this cOun-
try, and will undoubtedly draw thous-
ands upon thousands ofspectators, many
OF whom will be numbered among those
who were disappointed at the re-
suit at Lachine last fall, and believe
that Courtney will this time prove
the best man. Many engagements Tor
accommodations at the hotels surround
inc the fine sheet of water known as
Chautauqua lake have already been
made The exact part OF the lake upon
which the race will be rOwed has not
as vet been settled, but will be known
soon. Betting has not been INDUCED in
much thus lar, although few bets are
being made at about even. Mr.. W. ,.
Baldwin, who has been appointed
bv Alr. SOule, his sole agent,
to look after the details OF
the race returned to the city from
New York yesterday, bringing hopeful
signs concerning the coming event. lie
had talk with Mr. Blaikie, the referee
elect. and found that gentleman very
enthusiastic. lie said he intended to
make the race an honest one, and he
was confident it would be the greatest
ever rowed. Mr.. Blaikie wrote to the
two oarsmen that ne would not consent
TO act as referee unless he could have
some further restrictions than those ap-
pearing in the agreement, and he has
received replies from them consentlng
to be bound by his conditions.

Business Failures.

ST. LOUIS, September pr. ii. Goul-
son & Co., and DeBondeo x Co., grain
dealers here, were caught short on
wheat and corn during the present adj
vance, and failed. Goulson K Co. set
tied to-day at a cents on the dollar, on
a basis of the closing prices on Saturd lay,
which, it is understood, entailed loss
ofabout $4,000. DeBondeO & Co. is
a branch of the New Orleans house, and
their loss is said to be total, and will
cause the suspension of the parent firm
at New Orleans. They owe Europe
over half million bushels OF wheat,
and their loss will probably be between
forty and fifty thousand dollars.

Meeting of Andrassy and Bismarck.


LONDON, September pa dispatch
from Vienna says Andrassy met Bis
marck at the railway station and accom-
panied him to his hotel. A crowd lad
been assembled there some hours await
ing the arrival of the German Chancel-
lor, and received him with cheers. The
Austrian press give Bismarck a hearty
welcome, not only as great statesman
but as warm friend of Austria.
A Berlin correspondent reports that
the German newspapers without ex-
ception hail the visit as the surest
guarantee OF European peace. The
semf-oficial Northern Gazette explains
that Austro-Hungary will find this un-
derstanding between the two Powers to
be the best safeguard against pan.
slavism. Germany has in it a rear guard
against coalitions for revenge, and the
European an assurance OF peace.
The National Zitplg expresses implicit
confidence in Bismarck's foreign policy,
points out the propriety and necessity
Of the Austrian alliance, and likens the
occupation OF Bosnia and Herzegovina TO
the annexation OF Alasce-LOrraine.
Discussions OF the new alliance occu-
