THE BOILERS.
what Was Done at Their Meeting Yester-
day Mt Labor Hall.


The call for general meeting of the
boilers of this vicinity, to be held at Labor
Hall in the South Side, yesterday, was a.
tended by large number, representatives
being present from all the mills in the vicin-
ity except Bellaire. All the efforts Of a
reporter to get at the actual proceedings Of
the meeting, did not meet with much sue
cess. However, it was learned from rather
good sources that the prime cause and
object of the meeting was to decide whether
q reduction would be accepted, in order to
reduce the cost of manufacture of iron
nails and thus force the steel out of the
market. No definite conclusion was arrived
at It is understood and the meeting decided
to meet and confer with the manufactures,
to see if arrangements could not be made so
that the puddlers could return to work. If
the reduction is made and accepted, the
question arises, howwill the boilers in other
cities, who belong to the Association and
who are not compelled to buck against the
steel, take such reduction. Of course they
viii not want to acceptit, and at the same
time,no doubt the manufacturers for whom
they work will demand a reduction,
based on the action in this vicinity.
The nailers, it is said, will accept no re-
duction as they claim they have never re.
ceived a raise, although the price Of nails
has gone up several times, while all the
other departments have received several ad.
vances. Thus the matter stands, and it
looks like it will be a very hard one to set
tie. The meeting yesterday adjourned
subject to a call by the chairman.

A COLD DAY.
A Fine Example OF What Old Probs Really
Can Do.

Odn DOs
The climate Of that portion of the Ohio
Valley Immediately surrounding this city
has long been celebrated as being the most
variable and uncomfortable of any in the
United States. Strangers have remarked
with feelings akin to awe upon the rapidity
with which sunshine and balmy breezes oft
times follow in the wake of storm aud fog,
and multitudes of our citizens have gone to
untimely graves or piled up gigantic doctor
bills through the medium Of colds, conges-
tions and pneumonias contracted in the vain
endtavor to accustom themselves to the rap
idly varying succession of extremes of heat
and cold with which Old Probs condescends
to vaIv the monotony of life in the Nail
CITY. The writer has noticed, during his
short but somewhat cheCkered career many
instances Of the ease and eelerity with
which the weather clerk could Flip" cold
day from the bottom OF tue pack, but it was
reversed for yesterday 20 show what really
could be done in the way of a meterologi-
cal surprise party.
At 10 o'clock Monday evening the mer-
curry marked 55 degrees, and a brisk rain
was falling. At 10 o'clock last night the
same thermometer marked degrees below
zero, or fall of 81 degrees in twenty-four
hours. The course Of the thermometer was
steadily downward all day. At seven
o'clock in the morning it was II above
zero; at noon the mercury had fallen to 10;
at 3 in the afternoon IL above was reached,
and at : in the evening SchnepPs thermom-
eter showed but above. At 8 o'clock zero
was reached; at Q it was l below, at 10, 2
below, at midnight below, and at o'clock
this morning 4 below was reached. All day
long brisk gale blew from the northwest,
making the cold very apparent, and keep
ing all within doors as much as possible.
The river, which was almost clear Of ice
Yesterday morning, was last night filed with
heavy foes, and navigation was again sus-
pended. 1t Is to be hoped the weather will
moderate today.
