LOUISVILLE
Successful strikers.


LOUISVILLE, October 3.-The strike OF
the cabinet makers is about ended, por-
ton Of the manufacturers having acceded
to the demands Of the strikers for an ad-
vance OF fifteen per cent. on the prices
heretofore paid. Yesterday thu" com.
mittee appointed by the workmen waited
on the different manufacturers to ascer-
tain what course they proposed 10 pursue,
and last night they met at Beck's Hall.
The commissioners reported that Wram-
pelmeyer & Co., Harig, Keep & Co., and
Davis & Co., had acceded to the demands
and resolution was passed that the men
go to work at these factories.
In compliance with. that resolution this
morning, 103 hands commenced work at
Wrampelmeyer's, sixty at Harig, Keep &
Co.'S, and eighty at Davis & Cos. 1t is
thought that the other proprietors will &C.
Cede to the demands OF the strikers. The
shop hands OF the L. & n. Railroad held
meeting at Eclipse Hall at o'clock last
night, the result Of which was strike for
higher wages, and an accession to their
demands to-day on the part Of the L. & N.
road.

From this point the balloon took ,Irse

appears to be bare possibility thai the

able to get out Of it. An expediti y, to

QUINCY, ILL, October S.-The moulJers
in the stove foundries here recently de.
manded an increase Of ten per cent in

The proprietors say they are ready to give

doubt the report that an increase has
taken place there. About 800 men arc idle
by the strike.

receiving the serious attention OF the Gov.

Iempiated rising Of the Peep O. Day
Boys" throughout the country have been
received by the authorities. These stories
are considered to a large degree sensa.

less deemed 1t wise and prudent to multi.
ply police precautions, and be prepared to
meet every possible emergency.
