Leather Finishers Quit Work ON
Account OF a Foreman.

=
Clerk d Lennon, morocco manufacturers
Of No. 722 West Fourth street, were notified
by District Assembly, No. 81, knights of
Labor, on Saturday, that the leather
fiiishefs in their employ would quit work
that day, on account of the labor trouble
in Haverhill, Mass, from which city the
firm moved part Of its business here about
two months ago.
A couple of gentlemen from Massachu-
setts, representatives of the Knights of
Labor, were seen at the kirkwood House
Sunday. They stated that the trouble
in Haverhill began in July and was caused
by Clerk q Lennox declining to discharge
their foreman, o man named Collins, for
having revealed to them certain secrets of
the Knights of Labor. The discharge was
requested by the Knights of Labor and
when that organizations wishes were not
complied with all of the FIRMS employees
except couple of shavers and few ap-
prentices quit work. No one could be
gotten to take the strikers places and the
firm, desiring to pay less wages and wishs
ing to escape organized labor, moved the
finishing branch of It's business here. As
previously stated the firm started in
business here about two months ago.
Nearly 20 men were hired and they were
TO receive $1.25 per dozen hides, So cents
per dozen less than the price paid in
Haverhill. In coming here with part of
its business the firm, it is said, hoped to
escape the influence of the Knights of
Labor, but in this it was not successful,
the order being strongly represented here,
although few people were aware OF the
fact.

Knights Of Labor nearly all of the Will
mington employees of the firm quit work
on Saturday. Those who did not go out
on the strike were few men who were
not asked to do so, because they
are not full-fedged leather fnishers. The
Knights of Labor did not object TO the
wages paid by Clerk d Lennox but they
are bitterly opposed to that firm continu-
| ing as one of its foremen man who has
| proved traitor to the organization.
Clerk & Lennox deal exclusively in
Indian hides, which are tanned by natives
\ in South America, shaved in Haverhill,
| and finished here.
The Knights of Labor employed a lad
| named Thomas Dempsey to parade the
Saturday with large placards with

morocco finishers are requested TO keep
away from the factory of Clerk & Lennon
until the present labor difficulties are set
tied. By order of District Assembly, No.
81, Knights of Labor" The firm had the
boy arrested on the charge of melting
to riot and on Saturday night. he wal
required to furnish bail for his appearance
at municipal court Monday. He wa'
given hearing before Judge Cumminf
Monday on the charge of disorderls
conduct. The judges decision was 70

In Philadelphia. Saturday afternoon,
Albert Lands, aged l6 years, o clerk in a
tea store, while attempting to leave q
package on the steamer Mary Morgan,
Just as she was leaving the wharf, ran
down the incline on which the gang plank
generally rests, evidently to get near
enough to throw the package on board.
He had taken but couple of steps when
he slipped on the smooth planking, made
desperate effort to clutch the rough
sides Of the incline and then plunged into
the river. Strenuous efforts were made
to save him, but they failed and he was
drowned.

Special Correspondence of Gazette and Journa +.
CLAYTON, Oct. Son Saturday after
noon about 3 o'clock similar to the
Neal crime was perpetrated in this neigh
borhood. The victim is a white woman,
wife of Oskin Gardner, residing about
three fourths of mile from this town.
The negro is named Charles Robinson,
and worked on the gravel train on the
Delaware railroad in the early spring.
He is very black, of medium build, weigh
ing about 100 pounds. The surrounding
country for miles was secured on Satur.
day night and this morning by 1S or 20
white men and two negroes without sue
cess. A good supply of rope and tackle
was carried with the intention of hoistinf
the fiend on the nearest tree if captured
thus avoiding the expense of "a State tria
and his probable or possible release by
packed Jury. Mrs. Gardner is in pre-
| carious condition.
The negro approached Mrs. Gardner'
residence with piece of meat and asked
| or demanded, TINT she cook it for him
which she did. When he had eaten h,
made improper proposals to her, which
of course she did not comply with, whel
the outrage was committed. The scout
ing party were on close trail this morn
ing, but their horses were tired out AM
unable to go farther.

Sacrament

NEW York, Oct. 6.-The following
bulletin was issued from Cardinal
McCloskey's residence to-day by the
clergy in charge: Ellis eminence, the
cardinal, has had for over two days n
change in his condition which renders
him very weak and apparently in great
danger of death, so much SO that it was
considered prudent to administer to him
the last sacrament"
The Rev. Thomas G.. Preston, chancel-
lor and vicar general of tho diocese, adj
ministered the last rites to his eminenee.
In conversation with reporter this
morning, Father Preston said: "The car.
dinal was little bit brighter to-day, and,
while very low and weak, is quite
| cheerful. His condition, however
leaves us little hope. His advanced
| years and the disease from which he Inns
been suffering for some time past, to
gether with severe cold recently con
tracted by him have had tendency Il
hasten his end. He has lived a long life
of usefulness, and his reputation as nj
ecclesiastic is worldwide. OF cours'
in the event of his death the Office o
cardinal will not be vacant long, becaus,
his grace Archbishop Corrigan is coad
jutor bishop with the right of succession
and he would become carolina
Immediately without the neces
sity of confirmation by the author
tiles in Rome. A circular has beer
issued by the cathedral functionaries Il
all the churches in the diocese asking fo
the prayers of the faithful for hi
eminence. While there is life there i
hope and we can only await Gods will.
DIR. E. L. Keys, the cardinarsp physician
was seen to-day. Hesaid: 'Ihaye not seer
his eminence this morning but canno
hold out any hope of his rallying. Hi
disease has no name, being more thu
gradual failing of his powers from ex
treme old age than anything else. HI
may linger for some days yet"
| New York, Oct. THE condition o
Cardinal McCloskey this morning is abou
the same as last night. A bulletin vii
be issued giving an official account of tn
prelate's condition.
