VIII Resume Work.

The strike among the stevedores remained
unchanged yesterday. About 400 men are
out and at meeting Tuesday night it was
agreed to insist upon the advance in wages

Sargent, DenniSon & Co., who still remain at
work, were fined by the association $40 each,

undoubtedly be held, IT, see If The coal wheel

At Randall g. McAlllster's reporter was
told..the following: THE men have been
fairly dealt with and their wages have aver
aged almost, if not quite, two dollars per
day. We will not grant their demands. Had
it not been for the strike we would now have
between fifteen and twenty men at work,
who, in the next three days, would earn over
$500, in unloading the coal in the vessels
which are at present alongside the wharf.
We now have one crew at work composed OF
our own men who are paid by the week"

The Farmers Suspected the Portland
Young Man.

The Gardiner Home Journal says that on
Tuesday afternoon there was an unusual
gathering of West Gardeners citizens on
Water street, and the serious expressions on
their faces, seemed to indicate that they had
some matter of more than ordinary import
ance on their minds. A young man whose
general appearance would indicate that he
was town-bred seemed to be the centre of at
traction. and II soon leaked out that be was
the cause of the gathering. The young man
had been out In the country buying up ap-
pies for Portland house, and had purchased
about two car loads. the farmers hauling
them to this city for shipment. The cars
were loaded and ready to go. but when the
buyer came TO settle for his fruit he found a
difficulty on which he had not counted. He
proposed to settle with checks, but the wary
farmers from the west country did not like
this idea unless he could get his checks
cashed. Being an entire stranger he was
unable to do so, and they thought best to
keep an eye on the apple cars. Portland par
ties were telegraphed, however, and 1t was
proved the young man was all right. Then
the farmers were satisfied.

off the danger and postpone the moment when

the inherent strength of the body suffices to

however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases, a
