The Employees of Kingan's Refuse to Accede
to an Order from the Firm.

The quiet that has reigned in Indianapolis
labor circles was suddenly disturbed last even
ing by the announcement that there was an i'm
pending strike of the thousand employees of

the past year the men have been working nine
hours per day and receiving eleven hours pay.
The firm became tired of this plan, and for
some time has been considering the matter of
making change, which they decided on Monday
to do.
Yesterday at noon the men were notified that
hereafter they would be required to do ten hours
work, and receive for it ten hours pay The or
der was received with disfavor by all the work
men. and meeting was called last evening.
W han the days work was finished the employees
assembled, and by unanimous vote decided
that they would not accept the proposed terms,
and gave the firm notice that thew would allow
them until Saturday evening to decide whether
or not the old nine-hour system would be con-
tinued
After the meeting adjourned one of them went
to CAPTAIN Colbert. of the police force and asked
hun what assistance the police would render
them in case of a strike, and was informed that
the police would have but one thing to do, and
that would be to MAINTAIN the peace. The en-
ployes are nearly all Knights of Labor.

published the application of S. F. Emmons, one
of the biologists of the United States Geological
Survey, to have his wife declared insane and her
property placed iE his possession. He stated in
his application to the equity court that his wife
had $27, 900 worth of Bell telephone stock and
$500 worth Of jewels. Three certificates of in
sanity, signed by Drs w. Johnston, Lincoln and
Walter Kempsted, of Chicago, were filed in con-
Aection with the application. Very little was
heard Of the proceedings by the pubis after the
formal application. 1t is now learned that Mrs.
Emmons was formally declared insane and was
taken to the Bloomingdale Asylum. After
wards she was transferred to q private
asylum in Connecticut and was later
taken to another asylum in Rhode
Island. From that asylum she was released, the
officer In charge Of it refusing to keep her. de-

She is very fond of horses, and has a reputation
for driving and managing the most difficult

She was the mysterious lady rider who at
tracted the attention of President Arthur by
her mad riding over the smooth roads of the
government reservation below the White house
lot. She is the lady who made such sensation
at Long Branch, a year ago last summer. by
appearing on the beach in Turkish lady's dress

Bernard dog a maid, and black boy. She was
angry because she not permitted to take the
dog bathing with her, and quarreled afterwards
with Mr. Hildreth. the proprietor of the West-end
Hotel, so that she left Long Branch. She says
that some time ago she discovered the fact that
her husband had been devoted to another woman
some five years; that she purchased from the
woman in question 100 letters written by her
hubby to the friend, paying at least S. for each
letter.
