no sHuT DOWN An PITTsRURG.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb 25.-It is probable
that all the furnaces at the Edgar Thomp-
son SCeel works will be shut down next
Tuesday on account of the failure to settle
the wage difference. Both sides are firm
and refuse to make any further concessions.
Arbitration has been suggested, but the
company will not agree TO it unless the
award is for the year, while the men
refuse TO accept 1t for more than six
months and as this is the ultimatum of the
employees and employers, strike seems to
be inevitable. "If the men refuse 70 work, "
said member of the firm to-day, 1--WE will
bank our furnaces and have our pig iron
shipped from outside sources. The firm is
determined TO maintain the stand il has
taken. Wages have been reduced at other
steel works, and we cannot pay higher
wages and compete with them in the manu-
facture of rails

FIRING THE FURNACES.
The Trouble at the Albany Iron Works
At an End.

TROY, n. V, Feb. 25.-The trouble be-
tween tho employees of the Albany iron
works department of the Troy Steel and
Iron Company In respect to a reduction OF
wages has been amicably adjusted and this
morning the furnaces at the Albany iron
works were lighted up preparatory to start
ing the works full handed Monday
evening. 1t was decided to resume
work at a reduction Of 10 per cent, a.
proposed by the company. About 800 men
are employed in the Albany Iron Works,
and they will begin work as soon as tho
works can be made ready. The steel works
and Rensselaer, Rail Mill department hands
returned to work three weeks ago, and the
settlement with the iron works mon will
set the entire works in operation again.
When all the works are operated about
$500 men are employed by the Troy steel
and Iron Company.

Mayor HewittIg Views.
HE THINKS IT NECESSARY TO RESTRICT
IMMIGRATION FOR A TINE.

In an address before the prize win
ners of the New York Mail and Ex-
press prizes, Thursday, Mayor Hewitt
took occasion to say:
My experience in this office has
brought me to the conclusion that the
time has come when greater restric-
tiOns will have to be imposed upon
foreign immigration. Those who came
originally came from motives of con-
science, or because they thought they
could provide a better future for them
selves and their families in this New
World. They were mostly people of
some education, of industrial habits,
and with training which fitted them for
American citizenship. They have
been bringing in here from 100000 to
100000 a year during the last three
years, largely of persons who were un-
known in the earlier immigration of
this country. They come here prac-
tically under contract of service to
certain contractors who bring them out
and undertake to sell their labor in
the United States in competition with
the free labor Of this country. This is
a new and very great danger. 1t
threatens not merely the livelihood of
American citizens, but it threatens the
perpetuity Of free institutions. AS the
labor Of these people is sold in block
so their votes can be sold. They are
sold. They are delivered at the polls,
and where public sentiment is so finely
divided as it is between the two great
parties of this country, small contin-
gent 1an determine which shall possess
the government of This country.
That is the danger which we must
face and eliminate from the American
system. If you should ask me what
remedy could propose for this state
of affairs, | should say that two things
certainly ought to be DONE We should
only admit to American citizenship
those who on satisfactory examina-
ton can show that they are entitled to
such. | certainly would admit no hui
man being to American citizenship
who could not read and write. l
| should require that they should be able
TO acquire a knowledge Of American
institutions by studying either in their
own tOngne or ours. | think that if
these children are required to be resi-
dents of this for q years, it would not
be great hardship if we were to ask
foreigners for II years, or 21 years
residence. myself should be in favor
of 2l years"

Married His Daughter,

When SOphocles wrote his tragedy
OF Gdipus the King" he probably
never imagined that the classic storV
would centuries after be paralleled in
the metropolis of a world then un-
known. Students can trace the ana
lOgy in the remarkable story involving
the marriage of a father to his own
daughter made public here. The par
ties are Polish Hebrews. The mans
name is said to be Isaac Waldorf,
merchant on the East Side. He was
married in Germany about twenty
years ago, but after two months left
his wife and came to this country. He
prOspered in business, married a new
wife, and was left a widower a few
years ago with three children. Last
year he met Hebrew girl in distress
In Broadway, who had just landed and
had wandered away from Castle Gar
den. She said her name was Nina
Sterling, and Waldorf took her to his
home and gave her a nights lodging.
As she showed fondness for his children
he dismissed his housekeeper and en-
gagged her. A few months later he
married her. She kept in communica-
OANA WIN uCI mOIu6T3 anu recently
sent for the latter to come and visit
her. When the mother arrived she
recognized in her daughters husband
the man who had married her in his
youth and was the father of her child,
now his wife. Waldorf was in utter
ignorance of the fact that he had a
child in Germany and of the identity
of his wife he sought counsel of the
rabbi of his congregation, and the mat
ter was referred to Grand Rabbi Joseph
who arrived in this country a few days
ago, and the rabbi decides the two
must live apart until the fact that Nina
is the daughter of Waldorf and his
marriage to the elder woman is estab-
lished by evidence from Germany. If
either prove true, then the last mar
sriage must be null and void.

The Wisdom That was Born Of
Defeat.

The New York correspondent to the
Philadelphia Ledger says: "a canvass
of the Republicans who have been for
two or three days in conference at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel disclOses the exist
ence of a determination on the part of
all the leaders to win this election, if
such a thing is possible, and they be-
lieve it is. Defeat has been a bitter
experience. 1t has removed causes of
difference and factional discord that
existed when the party was in power,
and, while there is an absence of the
enthusiasm which would have controll-
ed the rank and file of the party if
Blaine had been nominated, on the
other hand there exists the strength
that comes from harmony. Not in
many years has the party been so
united. A united delegation from New
York at Chicago was a marvellous ex-
hibitiOn of harmony in a State long
rent with political feuds, but it is to
be surpassed by the unprecedented
wonder of the unanimous nomination
of Warner Miller for Governor. With
greater harmony there is also evidently
determination to run this campaign
on scientific principles, to leave moth
ing to chance, and to avoid the blum
ders that involved the party in disaster
four years ago. The placing of the
entire active management of the cam
paign in the hands of so accomplished
a master of practical politics, as Sena-
tor Quay is regarded as a clear evil
dence of the new wisdom that is con-
trolling Republican affairs. The belief of
men experienced in politics and whose
judgment is not lost in their enthusiasm
is that this contest is not to be a walk
over for either side, but a battle of
giants with the issue uncertain. If the
talk at the Fifth Avenue Hotel is to be
relied upon, the Republican plan of
campaign is not to abandon New York
by any means, nor on the other hand
to stake all upon it as in 1884, but to
make tremendous effort to carry In
dianna and Connecticut, making at the
same time hot fight in New Jersey
and West Virginia, all the while care
fully guarding the sure" Republican
States from Democratic inroads. The
Republicans do not intend to let the
contest go by default, but will fight
every inch of ground, and whoever
wins will probably do so by a narrow
margin. That at any rate, seems to be
the outlook at present and is the judg-
ment of conservative men of both par
ties.

This is About the Fact.

A good peach crop in Delaware and
Maryland is said to be assured, but
this is a subject that no longer interests
consumers. The circle of distribution
has been so widened by fast freight
trains on the railroads, and the market
increased by canneries, that, no matter
how large the crop may be, the fruit is
not sacrificed to buyers, as it was 20 or
80 years ago. Producers have a stead
ier market; consumers no longer get
great bargains. If the crop should be
small the bulk of it will be marketed
in Philadelphia and New York if it
should be large these markets will not
be glutted, but the surplus will go to
other cities and to the canneries.
That is one good effect of organization
and an improved system redistribution.
In the long run it does not pay to have
peaches or anything else sold below
the cost of production, plus fair profit
to all who are concerned in its produc-
ton or handling.

The Delaware Harbor.
GENERAL SMITHS REPORT ON THE
NEW JERSEY AND DELAWARE
COAST.

General William f. Snith, in charge
of the river and harbOr improvements
on the New Jersey and Delaware
coast, has submitted his annual report
to the chief Of engineers. He says
that the effect Of the work done on
Maurice river is already Of much bene-
fit to commerce and navigation, con-
sisting of an average sixfoot low water
navigation to within $3.50 feet of Mill
vile. 1t will require $87, 900 to COM
pletc the Improvement, and $4,000 is
asked for next years work. An ap.
preparation Of S75,0 900 is asked for work
on the Wilmington harbor during the
coming year, which money will be APP
piled to extending the ietty and in
dredging to secure a fifteen-fOOt low
water navigation. 1t is estimated that
$l47 ,63l will be required to complete
the improvements.
Other estimates for needed work
during the coming year as follows: Ice
I harbor at New Castle, Del, SIS, 900 ;
Duck creek, Del, $37 ,365; st. Johns
river, Del, $35, 900; Misspillion creek,
Del, $31 800; Indian river, Del, $5O,-
/ 600. Improvement of inland water
way from Chincoteague bay, Va, to
Delaware bay, Lewes, 100000; Sus-
/ quehanna river near Havre de Grace,
i Md, $4,000; Corsica creek, Md, $10,-
600; Choptank river, Md, $4,000
Broad creek, from its mouth to Laurel

Umbrellas.

A Philadelphia umbrella manufac-
turer has been talking to a newspaper
reporter in an interesting manner
about the umbrella business. He SAYS
that there are about 2, ,5OO,0 900 umbrellas
and parasols sold in this country every
year. America has gone ahead of for
eign nations in manufacturing them,
and not more than 10 per cent. are i'm
ported. The Sheffield umbrella, how
ever, still leads the world. Domestic
makers have to figure very closely, and
were they to raise prices 10 per cent.
the country would be deluged with
foreign material. 1t is remarkable cir
cumstance, says the Philadelphia
Press, that only one person has ever
made any money on any patent on an
umbrella. That one is old Sammy
Fox, of Sheffield, Eng, undoubtedly
the best-known umbrella maker in the
world. He made a paragon frame,
and he got royalty from every one
made for fourteen years. An um-
brella goes through many hands before
it is sold. No one firm makes an en-
tire umbrella. The ribs and braces are
made in one factory, the sticks in an
other, and the little catches that slide
along the stick in still another, while
the silk is imported. Fashion has a
great deal to do with the business.

Mr.. Blaine's Campaign Work.

When the delegates to the Chicago
convention were leaving for home, the
understanding among them was that
Mr.. Blaine would, on his arrival home,
enter at once into the thick of the cam
paign. The demonstration to be made
on Mr.. Blaine's arrival in New York
will, as has been said, excel anything
ever before attempted in the way of a
personal and political ovation. Ac-
cording to the talk at Chicago, Mr..
Blaine will revel in the grand welcome
at New York for few days; then pos
sibly go to Maine and rest for a brief
period After that he will make
speeches in New York, New Jersey
and Indiana and perhaps go to the
Pacific coast. 1t is in New York and
Indiana that he is expected to do his
biggest work. Ex-senator Warner
Miller, who IS to be the Republican
candidate for Governor of New York,
announced to his friends in Chicago
that he should make personal canvass
from one end of the State to the other,
speaking at every settlement wherever
possible.

Make Lime Water at Home.

1t is very useful to have in the house
in case of sour stomach, etc. A tea
spoonful of it with half pint of milk
will often make the milk quite digesti-
bic, when, without the lime water, it
might sour and produce collie or dis
tress in the stomach. To make lime
water, get a lump of good unslaked
lime, the size of hens egg, or larger
put it in an old pitcher and pour on a
pint or so of water. AS soon as it is
slaked and coll enough, stir it with
spoon or stick and pour off the prin-
cipal part of the milky fluid into a pint
or quart bottle, leaving the dregs in
the pitcher to be thrown away. Cork
the bottle well and let it stand quiet.
In few hours the lime will settle to
the bottom, except what is dissolved in
the clear water above it, and this water
will nearly always be of uniform
strength. When used down so that it
cannot be poured off without stirring
the bottom, add more water, shake the
bottle, cork it well, and let it agaid set
tie for use. Once a year or so make
up a new lot as at first. Lime the size
of an egg will be enough for a good
many quarts of lime water, which will
practically cost nothing. At an Ordi-
nary temperature of 60 degrees, a pint
of clear lime water contains only %
grains of lime. "a pound is 1000
grains.) Lime water is a little antacid,
and a little tonic also.

Death of Thomas H. Salisbury.

Thomas H. Salisbury, private sec
retary to U. S. Senator Eli Salisbury
died in Washington Wednesday night
of Bright's disease. He had been suf-
fering for nearly 10 years with the dis
ease that finally ended his life. The
deceased spent his summers at Dover
and his winters in Washington. While
in Dover he always suffered most, as
the climate did not agree with him.
AT the time of his death he was A
years of age and unmarried.
The deceased was brother of John
F. Salisbury, editor of the DeIawarean,
and a son of James Salisbury, who
was brother of the Senator and Chan
cellOr, and who died at an early age in
Mispillion Hundred, on the farm where
Thomas H. was born. This farm is To-
Gated one mile from Adamsville, for
merly Marshy Hope Bridge, Kent
county. In early life the deceased
worked on the farm and after going to
Dover he engaged in the grocery bus
mess with his brother John F. Sauls-
bury. Upon the dissolution of the
firm, he went to Washington as private
secretary to the Senator, in which po-
sition he remained until his death.
He had also been clerk to Senate Com
mittees when the Democrats were in
power.

" Taking to the Woods. "

The Rev. DIR. Cuyler, in his free
talk about free trade and free whisky"
predicts that a good many conscien-
tious Republicans will take to the
woods" this year. His chief griev-
ances seem to be ~ the uncompromis-
ing support which the Chicago platform
gives to Protection, and (2) its contin-
gent proposition for the abolition of the
Internal Revenue system. If we are
well informed, he strenuOusly opposed
the Republican party in 1884, and
urged his friends to follow his example
and vote for Mr.. St. John on the Pro-
hibitiOn platform. Is he aware of the
fact that the two special grievances of
which he now complains were embOdi-
ed in that platform? In order to re-
fresh his memory, we qote the follow
ing passage from the Prohibition plat
form? In order to refresh his memory,
we quote the following passage from
the Prohibition platform adoped at
Pittsburg on July "a, 1884:
That the collection of revenues
from alcOhOls, liquors and tobacco
should be abolished, as the vices of
men are not a proper subject for taxa
tiOn that revenue from customs duties
should be levied for the support OF
Government economically administer
ed, and when so levied the fostering OF
American labor, manufacturing and
industries should be constantly held in
view"
When this eloquent temperance ora
tor took to the woods" in 1884 he
was apparently content to scramble
into the Prohibition cabin and cast a
vote for the protection of home indus
tries and the abolition of Internal Rev
enue taxation, including alcOhols
liquors and tobacco" If he remains in
the same party this year he will again
be forced to vote against the whisky
tax, for the Prohibition platform
declares " for the immediate abolition
of the Internal Revenue system where
by our National Government is deriv-
ing support from our greatest National
vice."

It Was a Balloon.

A strange sight was witnessed in the
heavens over Salem about ten o'clock
on Thursday evening. Some thought
it was meteor on rampage, or a
comet just let loose, but an investiga-
ton proved it to be large hot-air bal
loon, sent up by Capt. w. E. Reybold,
from the steamer ReyboLd, at the foot
of Broadway. A sponge saturated
with burning alcohol, was attached to
the balloon and furnished the heat.
The balloon went in a southeasterly
direction.
The Captain sent up five more bal
looms early Saturday evening, which
attracted much attention. Attached to
each balloon was a card, asking the
finder to notify Capt. Reybold where
the balloon was fOund.-SOutk jersey

More than so years ago, one, Mr..
Dodge, of AttlebOrough, Mass, con-
veyed a portion of his land to the Bos-
ton s. Providence railroad on the con-
sideration that he and his family should
ride free over the line as long as the
land should be used for railroad pur-
poses. A granddaughter of Mr..
Dodge recently claimed the privilege
of free carriage on the ground that the
word =" family" included descend
ants" of the grantor, and Judge Allen
of the supreme court of tho State has
sustained this contention. If the
Dodge family increases and multiplies
like some other families we read of,
and its members take it into their heads
to hold reunion some of these days,
the railroad company will have to put
on extra cars.
