a BIG Stake
which Closes Dawn the Largest
Nail Factory. -
The Trouble atthe Riverside Mill eliminated
10 the TOrknen ceasing Work
Yesterday.

Yesterday evening all members Of the
Amalgamated Association who were en-
ploJed at the Riverside nail factory ceased
work owing to the trouble at the Riverside
steel plant. The owners Immediately gave
orders to have the works boarded up. This
is very peculiar kind Of strike, and for
the benefit of our readers slight review of
it is herewith given. The owners OF the
Riverside steel plant notified their workmen
that on and after certain date the works
would only run single turn, and also notified
those Of their workmen that they did not
want to come forward and get their pay.
A few day afterwards the workmen claim
that the managers came to them and offered
to put them all at work again if
they would leave the association.
This created quite q breeze and the lodge
was notified. The Executive Board was
then appealed to BY the workmen, and after
q canvass of the situation decided to call all
the men working for the firm, belonging
to the association, out on a strike until such
time as the firm would recognize the ssso-
citation at the steel plant Now, on the
other hand, gentleman connected with the
firm claims that the manager did not use
any such language and that they (the frm)
have decided that if they were not allowed
TO choose such of their workmen as suited
them and their works they would close the
works for good. The closing down of these
works throws about 500 men out of en-
ployment and this takes over $l9, 900 out of
circulation in this city every two weeks.
That being the amount paid by the firm to
the workmen every two weeks The upper
Riverside mill Will continue running, in this
portion the boilers are boiling iron for the
rail and bar mill. 1t is sincerely hoped
that the differences, be they what they
may between the firm and workmen
will be amicably adjusted in a few days.
The general public should not criticise
either side in this issue, as none bat those
directly interested thoroughly understand
the situation.
The shutting down Of the mill also causes
the closing of Wilson and Dunlevys cooper
shops in North Wheeling. That firm fur
nis6es nail kegs to the factory. This also
throws out of employment nearly on hun
dred men.

Albert Waltz, the boy wonder, is certainly
a phenomenal skater, and his performance
at the Island rink, yesterday, made people
open their eyes. Those who thought Clint
Collins could skate changed their minds
when they saw this boy, who lays him com.
pletely in the shade. He has about 100
different motions, and is constantly finding
new ones, with which to exercise his bone
less body. How he can do such skating is
almost past finding out He will be at the
rink Tor a week longer, and will draw great
crowds.
The Island rink will close at 10 o'clock,
to night, at which time a private party will
take charge for two hours amusement,

A Large Gang Attempting TO Work this
City,
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning burg
lars attempted to effect an entrance a
Henry Merits residence on Eighteenth
street near alley E. Fortunately Mr.. Goer-
ing, who resides in the adjoining house,
heard the men at work and, supposing they
were trying to get into his house, arose and
securing his revolver opened FIRE on the
thieves while they were at work. His shots,
unfortunately, did not take any effect other
than to cause them to decamp in hurry.
Mr.. Goering saw three men and it is sup
posed that is all that were at work at this
particular point.
Another portion Of the gang undertook to
burglsrize several residences in the Sixth
ward, but the officers got wind Of them after
several shots were fired similar to the first
instance, and they left for parts unknown.
