The Union Bridge Contractors aud Wheel.
Ing WOrkmen.

The Union Bridge Contractors aud Wheel
ing Workmen.
The special committee OF three appointed
by the Ohio Valley Trades aud Labor As
sembly to look into the complaints against
the contractors of the Union bridge work,
and investigate the allegations of a refusal
on the p1rt Of the firm of Paige, Carey K
Co, to employ any more Wheeling men,
against the promises Of Judge X. H..
Cochran. made to the Council and Assem-
bly,. organized by electing NJ. A. Chew
Chairman. Daring tbs afternoon the
committee called upon Mr.. Carey, at the
headquarters of the Company, and long
and entirely amicable interview was had,
a. which the whole matter Of complaint
was explained away to the satisfaction Of
the Committee, and no further action Will
be necessary. Mr.. Oarey's explanation OF
the matter IS about as follows;
About week or so ago man who had
been at work on the line of the company
in this city, went 20 the Office of the
contractors and asked for his money,
which he said was six days pay
Mr. Carey asked for his time,
but the man declined to do anything to
verify his statement, saying ne mad worked
six days and wanted his money. Not get
ting it he went ont and instituted suit be-
fore a Justice for the six days pay. MI
Carey looked into the matter, and found
the man had worked but day and trac-
ton, instead of six days. He placed the
matter in charge of clerk, with instruc-
lions to defend the suit, but the clerk
neglected to be on hand at the proper time,
and the suit went against the contractors
by default Then Mr.. Carey admits he
got hot and ordered that written notices
be sent to the foremen, ordering them
to steer clear of Wheeling men, but IN q
short time saw his error and c0unterman-
/ ded the order, going away with the sup
position that no letters had been sent out.
| Thus it came that when a reporter for the
REGISTER called upon Mr.. Carey, last
Tuesday, for an explanation OF the letter
in circulation in North Wheeling, Mr..
@ arey, thinking no letters had been writ
ten, denounced the paper as a forgery.
Later he learned that three letters had
been sent by the clerk before the order was
countermanded.
In concluding, Mr.. Carey expressed his
sorrow that there should have been any
misunderstanding, and said he intended to
| live mp to the spirit of the promises made
by President Cochran, so far IS was in his
power The committee left fully satisfied
with Mr. Carey's exposition of the matter,
and there will be no further trouble on that
/ score

Fire on the Island.

About half-past five o'clock last evening
a still alarm 20 the Island hose house called
ont that company TO fight fire which had
caught in the tar-ov5n and tar barrels
owned by George Lennon, the street-pav-
ing contractor, located on OHIO street,
lust west Of South Huron. The plant is
used by Mr. Lennon for preparing the
pitch for use upon the brick streets, and
he had big stock on hand which was being
got in shape for the Inauguration of work
upon the Market street paving. The tar
caught from the fire under the kettle, and
the torrent OF black smoke which poured
forth served to hide o good portion OF the
leland from view. Ouce the fremen got
to work, the LINES we're easily subdued,
with no loss beyond the borning OF the tar
and part of an adjoining fence The fire
was a hot one while it lasted.
