Cincinnati Cigar-Makers Will Re.
sist the Proposed Reduction
in Wages.
Determined Effort on the Part Of the Man
utacturers to Kill the International
and Progressive Unions.
Determined Stand Taken by the Workmen
Not to Submit to Further
Cutting Of Prices.

CINCINNATI, o., September 20.-The
prospects for another lockout of the
cigarmakers OF this city are the cause fol-
much alarm among the members of both
the International and Progressive Unions.
During the past few days rumors have
been rife that reduction was imminent,
aud on Thursday the matter took the
shape OF a formal notification that a re-.
duction Of 81 per thousand on hand and
mould would be demanded by the Manu-.
facturers' Union and of seventy-fiye
cents per thousand for rolling and
bunch-breaking jobs. When this was
made known joint committee of
the Progressive Union and of the Interna-
tional Union No. IL, met and adopted a
report not to work below the prices
agreed upon May %, 1888. Yesterday the
report OF the action of the Manufactur-
-ers' Union was received by the cigar
makers, and special meeting of the In
formation Union was called. About 500
members were present last night. IL was
decided unanimously that the proposed
reduction would not be accepted. 1t was
also agreed that rather than submit to
the proposed reduction the members
would 90 into a lockout. A meeting of
the committee from the Progressive and
International Unions will be held this
evening to confer further about the ques-
ton.
Should lockout occur 1t will be
serious affair, there being |, l65 members
OF the Iuternatlonals In the city, and over
2O0'of the Progressives. In the Manu-
facturers' Union there are twelve firms;
but it is thought that all the other firms
in the city will join in the proposed re-
duction. The manufacturers have given
the cigaEmakers until October 6, to re-
turn an answer, but the meeting last
night authorized the committee to return
a posltive answer of "no" to-day.

AT Last.
BROOKLYN, n. T., September 90
Superintendent Campbell of this city re-
ceived dispatch this morning from the
Chief OF Police of Philadelphia, stating
that George Reardon had been arrested
In that city and would be held until he

who has the reputation of being an &C.
complished thief, is accused OF being con.
cerned with James Welsh and Mike Nc
Fadden in the assault and robbery Of
cashier Johnson, of Boynton & Co.'s file
works, Williamsburg.
On the afternoon of January 20, 1853,
johnson went TO the First National Bank
Of Williamsburg and drew money to pay
the hands in the factory. While on his way
back he was assaulted by Reardon,
Walsh and McFadden, who robbed him
OF 81 ,020, and made their escape, notwlth-
standing the fact that 1t was two O'Clock
In the afternoon, and the assault was
witnessed by several persons.
Walsh was arrested at Fall River.
Mass, and Nc Fadden was arrested short
ly after Ia Williamsburg. He made his
escape, but was shot and wounded at the
time, and was recaptured a week later in

A New York Saloon Keeper Ar.
rested For Arson and
Murder.
The House Occupied by Himself and Fam
lily and Other Lodgers, Deliberately
Fired at the Dead Hour Of Night.
His Wife Burned to Death, HE Son Dying,
While Many Others Narrow
ly Escape.

New YORK, September 20.-Fire broke
out this mornlng 10 the three-story brick
building at the corner of Willett and Rly-
ington streets. Leo Gertig, an Alsatian,
rented the concern and ran saloon on
the corner. He lived on the next floor
with his wife and child, boy of nine
years, aud let out the spare rooms on the
second and third floors to dodgers. When
the drcmeh arrived the ladders were put
up on adjoining buildings with view TO
rescuing any OF the inmates who reached
the roofs, and 1t was with the utmost
difficulty and danger that even this could
be done, owing 70 the rapid spread Of the
fire.
When the fremen gained the roof
horrible spectacle met their gaze. Mrs.
Gertlg and Der son, both terribly burned,
were found lying near the scuttle through
which they had escaped. few mo-
ments more and the flames, which were
already bursting through the roof
would have ended their existence.
The unfortunate woman was terribly
burned and unconscious. The boy was
almost as badly off. They were removed
to Bellevue Hospital, where Mrs. Gertig
died without regaining consciousness.
The flesh was literally burned off of por-
lions Of her body. The boy is terribly
burned, and the doctors think it will be
miracle II he RECEIVERS.
10 the meantime the fremen reached
several dodgers who were in peril. When
the fire was got under control, an investi.
cation was made, and it was discovered
that most determined and fiendish case
OF arson and murder had been planned
and carried out by some miscreant. In
the closet behind the bar in the saloon
was pile of shavings and excelsior, used
In stutting furniture. 1t was saturated
with kerosene. The fire was evidently
started Ia the rear Of the sitting.room on
the second floor, and the doors leading
both up and down stairs left open, for
the fremen met dense wall of fire when
they tried TO get upstairs. In the bed
room of the sitting-room were two beds.
There was not vestigc of
bedding left in them, showing
that kerosene had been used there
also, The rear room off this, leading to
the hall had another supply of sticks plen-
tifuly covered with kerosene. No trace
of Gerug, the proprietor could be found.
1t was learned that he had been despond-
ent OF late and was not successfuin ou n.
ness. He had quarrel with his wife
yesterday and went out remaining all
day. He returned last night and took
some money, saying he wanted to pay the
beer man. Accounts differ as to what
became Of him, but few hours later the
police found him near the house intoxi..
Gated. He was arrested, charged with
arson and murder. He said he had beel
On drunk and knew nothing about the
nre. He was taken to the Tombs court,
where he was remanded to await investi-
CATION.

NEW YORK, September 20.-The state.
ment that a conference Of Plymouth
Church members has been held, and that
Mr.. Beecher had been demonstrated
with for his course in politics, Is
found to have been inaccurate. A majority
OF the members, as is we'll known, are Re-

Mr.. Beecher's choice, but, as Assistant
Pastor Halliday said yesterday:
''There is no trouble in. the story, and
there Is not likely to be. Each member,
from Mr.. Beecher down, is Independent,
and can work and vote as he chooses
without being called to account by any

The first mill will be erected at Croker,

Seventh street In the hall back of
Joseph LEWIS store, while the rival
congregation of the Cheora Kadusha
synagogue met across the way
at 924. The closing Of the pawnbroker
shops and clothing stores Ia the neigh

OF celebrsnts. Rabbi Israel presided at
No. 929, the orthodox congregation, and
RabbiS Max Liebenstein and X. Fergen-
sen conducted the ceremonies at No.
1874, which lasted until p. m and will
be renewed from to 8 p. m. There Is
but slight difference in the performances
at the two places. At the Beth Hamdrash
men are mustered into the sanctuary,
habited like yelled prophets in striped
cloaks, while the women and children
are kept outside curtained railing.
The RABBI chants from the Scriptures

ants with bass voices. The psalms
praise the Creator for having preserved
his children during the past year from
sin, aud ask favors for the coming year.
