NOT WANTED IN DETROIT.
Maine Ship Carpenters Who Had to
Return Home.

DETROIT, Oct. 2O.--A contractor who had
secured the contract for building large lake
vessel the coming winter, and who had leased
one of the local ship yards for the purpose,
hired thirty ship carpenters in Maine whom
he knew to be skilled men, These men
made their appearance here the latter part of
last week, and at once threw the local broth
erhood of that guild into commotion. The
latter declared that this invasion of their
bailiwick was wholly improper; that there
were plenty of carpenters and shipbuilders
here to do all the work which could be got
in all the yards, and that this invasion was
nothing less than move to deprive them of
work and their families of support. Inquiry
developed the fact that the new corners were
Knights of Labor, in good standing; that
they had come on in good faith, having been
promised steady employment at good wages,
and that there was positively nothing out of
the ordinary course of business IN the whole
transaction. There were some suspicious
that local ship yard was at the bottom of
the whole case, and was using the contractor
as blind to cover their own real agency in
the matter. This they denied, but there are
some grounds for believing the suspicious
well founded. There has been great agita-
tion in labor circles ever since the arrival of
the gentlemen from Maine. There is abso-
lutely no ground on which to drive them
away, while there has been manifest deter
mination to prevent their settling down and
going to work here. Finally so much dis
turbance was created over the matter that
the visitors became alarmed or disguised,
and accepted an offer to have their expenses
paid back to their homes. and all but nine of
them left on the noon train, and the others
will probably follow.

GRAND ARMY NOTES.
Commander FairchiId to Visit the
State of Maine.

AUGUSTA, Oct. 21.-Ex-Gov and Gen. Luz
Gus Fairchild of Wisconsin, elected National
Commander of the G. A. r. at their last en-
campment held in California, has written
department Commander Lane of Maine that
ne would like to visit the several departments
In the New England States during the COM
Ing winter, and suggested that he correspond
or arrange with the other departments with
view to having the meetings all within two
weeks time. To this end Commander Lane
has written the commanders of other depart
ments In New England. proposing a meeting
Tor this purpose at the headquarters of the
Massachusetts, Department of the G. A. R.
in Bostonsn Tuesday next, Oct. Goth.
The time for the meeting of the next an
nual encampment of the Maine G. A. r. has
not been fixed as yet Commander Lane
Will at once communicate with his council of
administration with view to fixing the
time, which in all probability will be the
last week in January, at Bath, by invitation
and vote of the department at the meeting at
Skowhegan last winter.
The mayor of Charleston, S. c., has noti-
fed Commander Fairchild to remit sums on
hand and discontinue further subscriptions.
They have enough to relieve the meritorious
needy sufferers.
Commander Lane has issued General Or
ders No. 6. appointing George II. Boardman
OF Calais, John f. Whitcomb of Ellsworth
and j. w. Bangs of Augusta on his staff.
He calls attention to amendments to the
rules and regulation of the G. A r. adopted
at the session of the fall encampment at
California, and extends the warmest thanks
OF the Department to the comrades of Cali
fornia for their generous hospitality, marked
courtesies and untiring efforts to make the
visit Of the delegation from Maine enjoyas
BILE and pleasant, and says the comrades OF
the Department of California more than full
filled their promises made at Portland in 1885,
Twelve posts are yetdelinquent in the matter
of returns for the quarter ending June 80 ;one
has been suspended and reported to the Ma
tlonal headquarters. Posts delinquent in
returns for the third quarter and not in by
Oct. 10th, will be suspended and so publish
ed in general orders. He says the neglect of
post commanders in responding to repeated
requests for returns "have become so COM
mon as to demand heroic treatment" Two
posts have surrendered their charters, No.
80 at Searsport and 1888 at Kennebunkport
-Four new ones have been added: No. 147 at
Peru, No. 14s at South Paris; No. 149 at Sid
ney and No. $50 at Dennysville.
The Department Commander, Comrade
Hall, in his address to the Encampment re-
commended action to the end that suitable
monuments may be erected to commemorate
the valor of Names sons on the field of Get
