The Wage Committees Work.

The work of the Amalgamated scsle
committee is about completed. This is
the shortest session tie scale commit.
tee has ever held which gives good grounds
for suppoSiug that few changes have been
made from the scale that is now in use.
1t is stated, however, the nailers will in.
sist on the wages they received in 1886 81.
They claim that the Eastern and Western
Nail Associations have consolidated and
that there will be no more cutting in
prices. Not long ago the nailers were Ie-
duced from Is to Is cents on 81 card,
and now they want the price put back TO
16 cents. This year, it will be remem.
bered, they are paid IL cents for cut
ting 10 penny nails on q 81 card
rate, II cents on q 225 card
rate, 18 cents on 81 so, and 30 on up to a
1915 card rate, when they are paid %
cents. The nailers object to this and want
the scale of the previous year, which pro-
vided for II cents on n 81 card and %
cents on q So 75 They allow 10 per cent.
eli when self.feeders are used. The nailers
claim that the manufacturers have revised
their schedule and prices, and with tue
combination with Eastern manufacturers
and the adoption Of uniform schedule,
they will be able to pay the scale in force
in 1856. Their scale passed through the
hands of the committee Friday.
1t has been decided to once more insert
the roll turner's scale Of price. This has
been inserted twice before and thrown out
by the manufacturers with great regularity
as being impracticable.
The price of boiling, it is understood,
will be placed at the same rate as before,
S. so on a 2.cent card. The manufactured
will probably insist upon reduction
here, however. The sheet mill scale will
be revised considerably, but no reduction
in wages will be made.
1t is also stated that number of men
who could not join the Amalgamsted AS
ISOLATION heretofore will now be admitted.
Among them are the drag outs, hooksrs-
on, muckrollers, etc, and 1t is further
stated that provisions are being made for

A New Industry.

The burning and marketing of charcoal
has become quite an industry in the vi
cinity Of Canonsburg. A farmer sells all
the timber on certain tract of land to
saw mill men, the latter agreeing to "clear"
the tract and make it ready for the pillow.
The mill men cut of and SAW up all the
valuable timber, and in the clearing Of
the land they use every stick more than
two or three inches long for the charcoal
kiln. The charcoal is hauled in immense
wagons to the iron mill where much Of it
is utilized, aud considerable quantities Of
Il are shipped to o distance.

A Very Interesting and Neatly Chat With
Charlie Caufman.
OTHER MATTERS OF MOMENT.

It was reported on the streets yesterday
that Mr.. Lewis Jones, who for over q year
past has been located at Birmingham, Ala,
hsd left the new mill he assisted in or
ganizing and building down there, and
would again cast bis fortunes with the
Nail City. Mr.. Jones was formerly the
manager of the Etna mill acrnss the river,
and after his rupture with the manage
ment of that concern, went South to grow
up with the new iron country, of which
We have heard so much. The story goes that
he has been crowded ont Of the mill with
which he was identified, one of the Messrs.
Woodward having supplanted him in the
management, aud that he had determined
upon returning here. 1t is to be hoped
that, if the story is correct, Mr.. Jones will
again cast his fortunes with Us. We could
import several such enterprising gentle
men 10 advantage.

Men wore petticoats before women

known writer. When Henry Viii. went to
see Anne of Cleves he was hsbitsd, We
read, Sin q cost of velvet somewhat made
like q frock, embroidered all over with
iattened gold of dsmaske, with small lace
mixed between the same gold, and other
lacss OF the same going trsversewise, that
the ground little appeared and in de-
scription of similar garment belonging
his father, Henry VII, we read OF Its
being decorated with bows of ribbon, quite
as belle of the present day would adorn
her ball dress. 1t is well known that the
garment was at first not alone skirt, but
as the name denotee, little coat. How
it came 10 lose its upper half or body we
do not know, unless the ''petticoat" was
made with long skirts for the sake Of
warmth, and in each case as it
was as much petticoat, rs we
understand it, as anything else.
EASILY enough petticosts, as the possession
of man, are traced through the ages. In
the inventory Of Henry V. appears "A pet
ticoat of red demaske, with open sleeves,
and although it was . question whether
this had been fashioned for man or for q
woman, it would if woaan's, be the only
instance known before Elizsbeth's time OF
q woman using such Q garment. Thus We
hear nothing Of woman's petticoats before
the Tudor periods Good Queen Bees, "
with all her learning, which was essential
ly masculine in her age and time, had the
true instinct of womanlinsss as regards her
personal adornment, and woman have to
thank her for their stockings and their pet
ticoats, and many othsr luxuries which
have become necessities, and which they
now appropriate with az true belief in
their sole possession rs though the legacy
had fallen to them from Mother Eve, in
stead of maiden Elizabeth.

The Fair for the benefit Of the orphans,

much for the orphans, for whose benefit
the event was gotten up, and the knights
of ST. George and their lady friends are en-
titled to hearty congratulations for the
great measure of success which has crowned
their efforts
The attendance at the Fair last evening

in moving about, and at midnight several
hundred ladies and gentlemen were still

The interest in the various contests and
Isffiss was great, and about dozen awards
were made by the Committee, which spent
something like two hours in going over
the boxes and books which contained the
record of the several events. The mem

by telegraph TO the Dlspatch. ]


CHICAGO, September ia dispatch
from Spokane Falls, w. T., says: Incen-
diary fires Sunday and early yesterday
morning hayecreated intense excitement,
and avigilance committee was formed last
evening and 81, 900 reward offered Tor
the capture of any guilty person. All
disreputable characters were warned to
leave the town under pain Of hanging.
On Sunday two fires were started in
buildings where no stoves were used.
Early Monday morning a big lodging
house was fred, and the dodgers escaped
with great difficulty. One man was
evidently burned to death, as no trace
OF him could be found. Soon afterwards
four other fires were started in different
parts OF the town.
Incendiary fires yesterday were Sc
rious. The conhagration in Pierce's
clothing house was well under way when
discovered, but hard work saved much OF
the stock. Before the iremen had left
the building another alarm was rung in,
the fire being this time in the Cottage
Hotel, on Main street. Here, also, the
fire was well under way when discovered
and tho boarders had barely time to es-
cape with their lives. The fire spread to
the Nevada House and to livery stable.
both of which were destroyed. Last
night the streets were patrolled by armed
men. The saloons and gambling-houses
have been closed and no one except
guards are allowed on the streets after
10 o'clock. The loss by yesterdays fire
WAS $50. 900.

,rhe River Failing.

The river, which had be rising steadily
since Sunday afternoon, reached its
maximum height soon after noon yester-
day and begun to recede with the ebbing
tide.
At the Old Dominion Steamship Com
pany's wharf the water was about two
feet higher than the point reached In
last weeks freshet, and to all appear
ances the total rise above the ordinary
level was about fifteen feet. Main street
in Rockets was covered 10 the depth Of
about four feet and Shockoe creek lacked
only a few inches of Overlooking its
banks between Cary and Dock streets
Beyond flooding the cellars of q good
many merchants. which had been cleared
Of al goods subject to damage, and
causing suspension Of operations at
mills and manufactures along the water
line, no damage Of consequence has been
reported.
Perhaps four or six families in the
Gillie's-creek bottom had 10 yacate their
homes for the time being. The water
did not get quite high enough to sub
merge the Williamsburg turnpike, and
no Inconvenience was experienced at the
gas-works.
There was great deal of floating wood
and not few pumpkins and melons
raised on the lowlands. Many persons
occupied themselves with boats catching
these.
1t Is probable that the water will fall
sufficiently by tomorrow for the steam
ship companies to enter their wharyes
to clean them out, and for the mills, &c,
to resume work.
