Yesterday morning, pursuant 70 p1D-
lished call. number OF the leading me-
chanics aud builders OF the city met IN inc
Circmt-Court room for the purpose OF con-
fcrring with reference TO the establishment
OF a Mechanics Exchange. The mcetng
was more numerously attended than would
have bcen supposed, and as the call In
vitcd all who were interested in the move
roeut 10 attend, q number OF gentlemen OF
other professions were on hand.
The meeting was called to order. and on
motion MIR. Harry Il. owen was made
chairman, and Mr.. l.. A. Crenshaw secre-
tary.
MIR. George II. Poindeyter Invited those
prescut who felt inclined TO express their
views in regard TO the best steps neces'
sary for the successful execution OF The
scheme contemplated. >.
Captain Thomas Elicit thought that IL
wouJd he necessary 10 rent rooms. some OF
which should be fitted up for general pur-
poses and supplied with suitable i,irm-
ture and periodicals. Others snouid DC
set apart for the private use OF active mem,
Der. Here the mechanics OF the CITY couiu
meet and confer as to what was best for
their interests. He said that at first, as
matter OF course, they would have to COM
mcncc crudely. but there was no telling to
what extent the organization might grow.
The more thought he gave the matter the
more he became impressed with its i'm
portance.
Mr.. Bell thought it best to draft con-
stitution and bylaws. and that permanent
organization should be effected ut once. .
MIR. Poindexter said that the interest OF
80 D,cknAnh had hppn over.
sbadowed. He referred to Atlanta and
the Industrial Exposition there, and the
noise that had been made about the me-
chanics and their strength, and the iact
that Richmond overtopped Atlanta TO the
greatest extent in this direction; and yet
nothing was ever said about our Richmond
mechanics. He wanted mechanical school
at which apprentice-boys could be pro-
pery trained. He took occasion to say
that the Council OF the city had refused 10
take hold OF the matter when petltloned
to buy the lot adjacent to the Armory, and
by its refusal to buy the lot and establish
mechanics school had lost the advantage
OF utilizing the Armory for mechanical
purposes.
Mr.. Ouarles. of Quarles & McCurdy,
agreed with every word Mr.. Poindexter
had uttered. lie called especial attention
to the apprentices. and remarked that he
wanted place in which the morals OF the
Young boys could be looked after. while at
the same time they could be taughta useful
trade.
After lengthy discussion committee
Of seven were appointed to take in hand
the task OF preparing constitution and
bylaws. This committee will report TO the
president as soon as their labors have been
completed. and then the president Will call
another meeting, at which a permanent or
ganzation will be effected.
Judge Wexford was present, and by
invitation addressed the meeting, express
ing his sympathy with the movement, and
his appreciation of the scheme.
The meeting tEen adjourned.

How They Were Rewarded.

A Reading telegram Of the Both ultimo
says: At quitting time last night at the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
Company's machine-shops seventeen Of the
Oldest employees were notified that their
services were no longer required. aplw
requested by the "sub bosses TO hand In
their time. Peter Dersch, one Of the dis
charged men. has been In the employ Of the
company In continuous service fer over
thirty.slx years, and Is now sixty-fye years
old. Most Of the discharged men had
nothing but the small wages they received,
and their discharge at this time OF the year
falls heavily upon them and their families.
Several weeks ago similar number Of old
nien were dismissed. The only reason as.
signed Is that the company wishes to gel
rid OF men who arr unable TO do full
days work.

CAUGHT Beneath q Falling Fence.

Yesterday evening about half-past 6
O'Clock some thirty or forty feet OF new
fencing, recently put up by Mr.. Thomas
Carpenter en- his lot along the alley which
runs east and west through the square be-
tween Ninth and Tenth and Leigh and NJ
streets, fell into the alley. catching beneath
it a small colored Girl who was passing
through. The cries of little boy who wit
messed the accident attracted the attention
of gentleman. who fastened to the spot.
He found that the whole OF the girls body
except her head and one arm was under
the fence, and held so tightly that she
could not move. He succeeded in raising
that portion Of the fence which held the
girl sufficiently to relieve her, and, strange
TO say, she managed to crawl out without
help, having sustained no serious injury.
When knocked down by the fence she had
a glass goblet in her hand, which she tena-
ciously held on to all the time without its
being broken. Her ESCAPE without broken
bones at least was truly remarkable. The
accident was due 10 the fact that since the
fence was put up the alley has been graded
down some distance below the original
level and paved with granite, leaving the
fence in a weakened condition by exposing
the posts.
