Conductors in Trouble.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 2S.-The contem-
plated strike at Somerset, KY, by con-
ductors Of the Cincinnati Southern road
is not regarded by officers here as formid-
able. Within the last ten days nine con
ductors have been discharged at Somerset,
which is the end of division and head
quarters of superintendent of t~ransporta-
ton. The cause of their discharge was
their refusal to leave an organization
called the Brotherhood of Railway Con
ductors. 1t is allied to the Brotherhood
of Railway Engineers. 1t is stated that
Chief Arthur was at Somerset to help
make a compromise. Inquiry fails to
confirm the report.

AN ARCHITECTS VIEW.
Interview With Mr.. J. G. Frazier, OF
the East End.
HE GIVES HIS EXPERIENCE

For many reasons it was notable inter-
view that the writer had with Mr.. John q.
Frazier, the architect. In the first place
Mr.. Frazier is well known in Pittsburg and
Allegheny. He was for many years resi-
dent of Allegheny, and is now and has bean
for some time living at $40 KirkWood
street, Pittsburg. Mr.. Frazier is the archi-
tect in charge Of that mammoth building
enterprise of Messrs. Flynn, MeGee and
Stewart, in erecting hundred brick houses
at the corner Of Stanton and Naylor avenues.
So, as stated, he is well known at the Eass
End, where he now lives, as well as In AL
legheay, his former home. The Interviewis
notable in the second place for the remark
able experience it describes. Mr.. Frazier's
fast-failing health had convinced him and
his friends that he would have to give up
entirely the duties which engaged him

MRS. JONES,
At home Tuesday, z P. N.
Please bring q lemon.

OF course, everyone who received one of
these mysterious summonses was consumed
by curiosity. 1t reminded one of the incl
dent of Southern Senator who received a.
card with the cabalistic letters signifying
that the owner had :.called in person." Not
understanding the etiquette of Washington,
he sent his card in return, with the letters
"S. B. N" in one corner. What could it
mean? No one seemed to know, so the re-
cipient determined to ascertain if possible.
The next time he saw his friend he re-
marked: "Say, Senator, what do the letters
IS. B. M mean on your card 2" "Why,
sent by q niger, of course"
After greeting each guest the hostess asked
her to stake her lemon to the dining room
and register" The dining room was blaze
of golden light from the tiny fairy lamps
with yellow shades. The dining table had
lemon-colored silk nspery, which was re-
lieved by fiat center piece of delicate ferns
and Catharine Mermet roses. At . side
table sat a lady and gentleman, who, all
were informed, composed the Squeezing
Committee" This committee took the
name on a register, and tied 9 ribbon,
marked in such way as to be distinguish
able, on each lemon. After the arrival of
all the guests and the marking Of all the
lemons, they were invited to again as
semble in the dining room while the
squeezing Committee countedithe seeds"
Each lemon was cut in half, the seeds ex-
tracted, and, after being counted and duly
accredited to the owner on the register, they
were placed in beautiful transparent glass
bowl.
The lemon was taken by the "Squeezing
Committee" and "squoze" into an immense
punch-bowl. The guests were then invited
to q repast of strictly lemon made edibles-
lemon ice, lemon ice cream, lemon cake,
lemon jelly, sardines and lemon, lemon
cream pie, and every conceiveable sort of
lemon favored food. Placed beside each
plate was bunch Of yellow roses tied with
q satin bow of the same shade.
After partaking of this unique repast, the
glass bowl containing the seeds was placed on
the table and prize offered to her who
should guess the number of seeds therein,
and "booby prize" to him who should
hazard the least accurate guess. After
numerous methods, both fair and foul, had
been resorted to, and each tguess" had been
duly registered, the seeds were counted and
the prizes awarded. The winner of the
grand prize. coming within three of the cor
rect number, received an exquisite lemon
colored glass lemonade bowl, while the
fbooby" was made happy with wooden
lemon-squeezer. A prize was then awarded
to4er whose lemon contained the most seeds,
and other to her who had the fewest. Mean
while, skillful hands had prepared punch
in the large bowl into which the lemons
were squeezed.

STOCKS TUMBLE.
Bearish Influences Depress the Market and
Almost the Entire List Closes Lower
Gold Exports and Bank State-

Uol0 Exports ana oank St1te1
ment Wet Blankets.
NEW YORK, June S.-The stock market was
dull to-day, and, while showing some strength
at first, became weak in all its departments,
and the result Of the trading was to leave al
most everything on the list fractionally lower
than last evening. The reports of new troubles
in rates in the West and Northwest had the
effect of making very ragged opening, and,
while the changes from last evenings figures
were fairly divided between gains and losses,
the important differences were in the direction
of lower figures and Jersey Central was down
u and New England and Northern Pacific u
per cent each. There was an active manipula-
tion of the Gould stocks, and Wabash preferred
became one of the leaders in point Of activity,
and, with Missouri Pacific, showed the way in
the limited upward movement which followed
the first sales. The rest of the list sympathized
to limited extent, though jersey Central and
the Vanderbilts displayed positive strength.
In the Vanderbilts there were rumors OF
probable capitalization of the betterments on
the New York Central and a probable extra
dividend this year. The upward movement,
however, did not extend much beyond the first
hour, and the influence OF the exports of gold
began to be felt, and when the bank statement
was issued, showing loss of over 81, 500 900 in
reserve, the downward tendency became more
pronounced and the early gains were soon
wiped out, most of the list going below the
opening figures The trusts were not SO active,
and little strength was shown in them, their
fluctuations being on par with those of the regu-
lar list. The market finally closed with a fair
degree of animation. but weak at the lowest
prices. The Chesapeake and Ohio stocks were
specially weak. and the common recorded
decline of per cent but while the rest of the
list is almost invariably lower tonight, the
losses are for small fractions only.
The dealings in railroad bonds were also
small and unimportant, and the movements
without special Significance. The sales of all
issues reached only S511 000 and the final prices,
while generally in the direction of higher fig-
ures, show few important changes.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange.

A WICKED INVENTION.

A Bartender of Genius Flashes New Drink
Upon the World.
From the Milwaukee News.I
A genius burst upon the world last week.
He is a bartender and he makes new
drink. This new drink has been called a
Business Brace" OF course there are
hundreds of limitations of it already in the
market in the East, and it is one of the
humiliating things in our country that We
cannot patent mixed drink. Some imitator
has published what purports to be the
recipe of this drink, and fraudulent
'Braces" are being served out now at the
most popular bars. have taken the trouble
to ascertain what the original and only
'fBrace" is composed of, and here are the in
gradients: Half q pint of champagne, a
pony of brandy, two Jumps of sugar, six
drops of Angostura bitters, thimbleful of
gin, six drops of citrio acid and a bit of
lemon peel.

REQUIRE but slight buying movement to give
stocks a boost. On the other hand nothing less
than general bear raid would pull them down,
as prices are about as near bottom as they can
well get There was the usual demand for
bank and insurance stocks, but figures were
too wide apart to effect sales. Bids and offers
