A NOVEL FIGHT.
Chicago Printers Will Boycott N
Directory Firm.

CHICAGO. March s.-R. r. DonnelIy,
proprietor of the Chicago City Directory,
was seen to-day in regard to the threat of
the Trades and Labor assembly to boycott
the City Directory by refusing to furnish
the names of assembly members to it in
case it was printed, as heretofore in ''rat'
office. He said:
am stakeholder and director in the Chi
cago Directory company, and the firm Of
DOnnelly Sons has been given the contract
for printing the Directory for several years.
but the two concerns are entirely distinct. I
cannot say what action the company may
take this year 1t may ask me to employ
nothing but union men ON the work, and
might prefer the contract to go to some other
office. | feel no antipathy towards the union,
but up to five years ago this was a union
Office. was forced into tight because of
an effort to interfere with my ad-
ministration. and won the fight. About two
thirds of my men remained with me- Some
of them have worked in the Office eighteen
or twenty years. Every year union men
have been allowed, at their own request, to
work on the directory by the side of nom
union men, with the understanding that no
attempt be made TO get up any organization
between them. This year the president and
secretary of the Typographical union came to
me as usual and made the request which was
freely granted. Afterward they informed
me that the men were opposed to working in
an Office with rats and claimed they did not
wish to help US out that way any more. That
is wrong view of the matter. / gave them
work because they wanted it. The men in
the pressroom are all union men and have
made no objection to having them. AS to
keeping $4,000 names out Of the Directory
that is novel proposition which the COM
PAW might have to grapple with, but it
would find WAYS to do it.

Fearful Experience at Sen.

LONDON. March S.-The steamer Acton.

Fearful storms occurred during the voyage
in which the boats were lost. Two sailors
named Green and Mauger were washed
overheard. Another one named Brown was
killed at the wheel. The Acton was hove
to all day Feb. %, when hurricane was
blowing. At 10 o'clock in the evening enOr
nous waves broke over the vessel sweep
ing the decks and carrying off Green and
Mauger. The wheelhOuse was swept away
and the stearing gear destroyed. For num-
Der of hours the steamer was at the mercy
of the waves. The captain and mate mar
rowly escaped with their lives. At this
juncture a large quantity OF oil was poured
on the water. The effect was most graft
fying, the sea being Quieted so the crew
were able to make repairs to save the yes

labor organizations should fall to fighting
each other at this crisis In their history when
everything depends on unity of purpose
and action is a mystery. Whether il is the
result of that arrogance which so often
comes with power, or whether IL Is because
the enemy have succeeded In getting tina
Trojan horse into the labor camp, remains
to be seen. OF one thing, however, the
laborers may rest assured. unless they are
disposed to deal with each other fairly and
to exercise their united powers with wise
discretion they must expect their or
CARNATIONS TO go TO pieces. 1t is
hardly possible that the labor unions of this
country are yet ready TO be the instruments
of their own destruction, and yet that is
what they will be il the policy pursued by
the conflicting organizations at Pittsburg
becomes general. Through its organiZa-
tons labor has brought itself up 10 con-
dition of power where il cannot only pro-
tect itself from the aggression of capital. but
is absolutely in condition TO dictate terms.
IL would be most singular that il. after long
years OF discipline and organization, il
has just reached this position of power IL
would deliberately turn around and divest
itself, by internal strife, of all the advantages
that had been gained.

BIG WOLF STORY.
The Marvellous Tale which Comes
from a Prohibition state

LAWRENCE, Kan, March S.-A day or
two since a farmer living in the southern
part of this county came into the city with
the report that he had discovered cave on
his farm that was inhabited by prairie
wolves, and from what he could find out
they amounted to about 300 He had
killed a few, but they would not come out
and he was afraid to enter the cave.
Preparations were at once made to raid the
den. A large party arrived at the place
yesterday morning, and turning the dogs
loose one or two of them rushed into the
cave and were at once torn to
pieces. A force of men then COM
menced operations, and in short time
had a hole into the cave back of the
wolves. Two men entered and all the
dogs that could be found. and they adj
vanced on the rear of the mass of animals,
who had by this time assembled in the
front part of the cavern. The dogs be-
came frightened and beat retreat, and
the men, after firing a few shots. also got
out. After en- all days sklrmish, the
hunters decided te make a dash, drive
out their prey and kill as many as possible.
All drew back out of sight from the front
and the two men again entered in the rear.
This time they succeeded in causing a
stampede, and in short time the cave was
empty. The shooters went to work, and
by the time they were through about one
hundred dead wolves strewed the ground.
The others escaped. and the party returned
minus four dogs, but covered With glory.
A grand hunt is proposed. 1t is supposed
that the animals WinteTed in the cave

WINNIPEG, Man., March S.-The legis-

by the lieutenant governor. but there was
not so much interest taken i'm that fact as
in the circumstances that followed. No
sooner were the formalities over than the
Hon. Mr.. Norquay, premier, rose,

to investigate the charges that had been
made against himself. He took the very
first moment after the routine was over

put the speaker caused the clerk TO read
certain grave charges against the premier
from the the newspapers. which included
the reputed utteTances of certain members
OF the Legislature. The motion was adopted
without adivision, and before the opposition
had time to fully take in the situation. The
charges implicated the premier in certain

a Custodian Asked For Readings
Wealthiest Citizen.
Special TO the Globe.

Special TO the Globe.
READING, Penn, March S.-Nathaniel
f. Ferguson is generally looked upon as
Readings wealthiest citizen. For forty
years he was the senior member of the
firm which operated the well-known and
valuable RobesOnia furnace plant The
furnace obtains its value from the fact
that, according to the provisions OF the
original proprietary of the famous Corn
well ore hills, over hundred years ago. the
proprietOrs are allowed TO take from the
hills all the ore they can use for one
stack $50 long as water runs" which
virtually means forever. When Mr.. Fergu-
son sold his interest and moved with his
family to Reading, in the finest mansion
here, the furnace was valued at 5000, 600
because of this valuable franchise. In
court here on Saturday. the petition of two
Of Mr.. Ferguson's daughters was presented.
stating that their father is mentally I'M
sound, that he is not capable of conducting
his affairs, and asking that the court take
suitable action. A commission will be ap-
pointed TO inquire into his mental condition,
and subsequently a person to manage his
estate. The millionaire iron master is
about IS years of age. has led an active
business life, and has shown indications OF
mental unSOundnesS ever since the terrible
accident at his furnace by which six men
were instantly killed and more injured.

A New Oil Field.

Special to the Globe.
CALDWELL, O..March S.-The excite
ment here over a rich oil strike at Dudley
three miles south of here. is intense. At
a dept OF between 700 and 500 feet rich
sand was found, experts from Macksburg
say as fine as any in that region. The well
is flowing nicely. though as yet no estimate
can be given of the amount. The we'll Is
owned by w. w. Collins and j. K. Phillips
of this place, and they are very happy to-
night. The oil excitement Is simply i'm
mense. The well near this place was shot
to-day, and was witnessed by about 4, 200
persons. Fifty-seven and-a-half quarts of
nitro glycerine was used. and the geyser Of
oil and water was very pretty, but owing
to there being no gas it did not react and
at this writing the extent of the oil is not
known, as it will have to be pumped, but
the operators are confident of a paying
well. Other wells will be put down in the
suburbs Of this place, and rich strikes are
anticipated.

A NEW LABOR PROBLEM.

The labor troubles are assuming an aspect
that is not altogether desirable at this sea-
son of the year. With the opening of
spring and the indications of revival of
business in almost every direction, it would
produce a more comfortable feeling if we
could see a more contented spirit prevailing
among the laboring classes. The extensive
strike on the GOULD system is an unpleas-
ant complication which does not forebode
good. But the most curious feature of all
is the conflict between the two labor
organizations at Pittsburg. While Knights
of Labor are turning wOrkmen out of man
ufacturing establishments in every direction
because they are not members of the union,
the flint-glass workmen at Plttsburg have
decided to strike because Knights of Labor
are employed in the works. 1t is the first
case in the history of labor unions In this
country where conflict has occurred be-
tween them, and the developments
will be watched with unusual in
terest. A house divided against it
self must fall. Why the various
