the gentleman himself put in an appear
anoe. He reports that second class boats
are very scarce in Philadelphia this sea
son. in fact he did not know of one being
for sale. He is a member of the Malta
bo2t club of Philadelphia, and az he had
considerable experience he told Mr.. For

Trouble at the Shawnee Mill.
Again is there trouble at the Shawnee
rolling mill, the works having been shut
down since Saturday. Scarcity of coal is
the cause claimed by the. managers but
the employees tell an entirely different
story That there has been disturbances
between the bosses and men is evident
from the numbers of complaints en-
tered before our different squires. They
claim that their employers are weekly
keeping Off certain amount of money and
that on pay day their wages are always
short" from one to three dollars. When
they complain about it they are told there
is some mistake, aud if they insist upon
their ''short' allowance being raised to
full value, they generally get it. On Sat-
urday last things took d serious turn, as
quite number Of men were short. They
demanded the money due them and
threatened violence if it was not paid.
The answer they received was that Officer
Stuck would be placed on duty, and any
person attempting to get lis money with
out permission, would be arrested. The
men advised the bosses not % send for the
officer as he would get hurt. He was not
sent for. When the mill is to bo again
put in motion is not known, but it had
better be soon, rs some of the men are
looking for new places to work. What
is really the cause of the mill " shutting
down. is not definitely known.
