Industry proop. at Cincinnati.

 industry in the factories along the bottoms
 was stilled to-day. Silence reigned supreme
 in the big establishments on Front street
 between Elm and John and two extensive
 safe companies-Hall and Moster-were shut | up tight. The strikers wisely kept away
 from the place in which they had been en- ployed. All communication with their em- ployers was made through regularly consti- tuted committees and the best of feeling prevailed between the employers and the
 men. The Egan company, manufacturers of | wood working machinery, conc eded eight hours per day and ten per cent. in l crease. These men were the first to strike
 and the first to go back. At their meeting to day the following resolution was adopted unanimously:
 Whereas. Certain refugees from foreign shores,
 the scum of society, whose principles and practices inimical to the welfare. of our government and
 directly opposed to the honest interests of all work
 R Resolved, That we denounce any and all towards the faces of American workngmen.
 Resolved, That as workIngmen anxious to uphold United States we will bear arms and march under
 the stars and stripes if necessary wipe out these
 foul blots on the body polite that are stench in the nostrils of every true citizen of the United States.

 CTS. The furniture men will meet at the
 Fifth street garden tomorrow morning, af-

 How Matters Stand at Other Points. DETROIT, May 5.-There were five thou sand men on strike at noon to-day. The striking employees of the Michigan car shops this morning marched fifteen hundred strong to the northeast end where the Peninsulr car works, a number of woodworking shops and several foundries are located. Their inten- ton was to induce the men in those places to go out. The Peninsula works took the bull by the horns and declared lockout of their eight hundred men. The smaller shop ployes were induced to go out. Building op- erations are wholly suspended all over the city. The strikers will try to get the men in the Pullman Car company's shop to go out with them.
 WILMINGTON, Del, May 5.-Strong efforts are being made to bring about a settlement of the morocco strike and plans are being put forth looking to that end. The men are desirous of ending the struggle, but are held back by pride. Many have quietly gone back to work. The two afternoon papers that have been quiet since the strike commenced yesterday advised the men to return to work. The merchants are feeling the stag nation in business caused by the strike and the general feeling of uncertainty. Changes in the Book of Prayer. PHILADELPHIA, May 5.--The convention of
 the Protestant Episcopal church was presided
 over by Bishop Stevens. He appeared to be

 appointed at the last convention to consider
 the proposed rubrical changes and modified
 tions in the book of common prayer reported
 that while they do not condemn the proposed changes, they are unwilling to recommend
 their adoption as whole. The subject was
 discussed up to the hour of recess.
