Settlement Looked for To- Day or a
Strike Will be Ordered-Founders Have
Been Notified.
Attempts to obtain from the founders yes
terday an unveiling of the position they in
tend taking on the demand of the molders
for an increase of 10 per cent on current
rates were futile. While some of the en-
ployers said that they were totally unaware
of any demand having been made, others
were seen who admitted having heard that
the molders were agitating for higher wages,
but that they had not received any formal
application for a consideration of the matter.
1t is certain that the founders, some of them
at least, have met in conference on the ques-
ton, but, as just stated, their intentions
were not made known. II is equally GER
tain, from what was ascertained Yesterday,
that the men are determined to bring the
matter to an issue, and, this time. foundry
masters cannot seek refuge behind the ex-
cuse that they were taken unawares or with
out due notification, because an official cir.
cular letter embodying the demand-and
which has been already published-has been
sent to them, duly registered to insure its
reaching tnelf nanQS.
The men OF 80 shops out of 43 have voted
for prompt action on the question, and every
master of the 80 has received formal noti-
fication in the manner set forth. II favor
able answer is not received by the commit
tee representing L. A. 1880, Knights of
Labor, to-day, strike will be ordered for
Monday next. Some 700 men are concerned
in the result.
The present rate of wages is not uniform,
ranging from 50 so up to 81 SO, and the OBJ
ject of the Molders' Union is to make the
scale uniform on an increase of - per cent
One firm has decided to give its men, who
number about 40, an increase of 81 per week.
but this will not be accep.ed. Tie four
shops which have not joinel in action are
now under somewhat different conditions
from the others. The work. in general, is
performed under easier conditions in these
and the employment constant, though not as
we'll paid for as in others. Among others
the following firms have been notified of the
demand:
William Yagle & Co., Limited, Thirty-second
street; Keystone Bridge Works, Fifty first
street; Scafe Foundry and Machine Co., Twen-
ty-eighth street and Smallman; Sterrit and
Thomas, Thirty-second street; Marshall Foun-

1t was understood that the latter company,
which employs 60 men, would grant the asked
for increase.

Lawyers Porter and Moore Enliven Grant
Street Somewhat.
Attorneys L. K. Porter and W. D.lMoore
made things interesting in front of the office
of the latter on Grant street yesterday. Mr..
Moore was talking of the charges against
ex-Mayor Liddell and Mr.. Porter heard
him and intimated rather forcibly that Mr..
Moore wasn't telling the exact truth. Mr..
Moore rushed at Mr. Porter demonstratively
and the latter invited him to come where
glory awaited him. Both stood in battle
array for some time, but finally Mr.. Moore
decided not to open the engagement.
The statements of the opposing forces are
still diametrically opposite, and Mr.. Porter
states that he demands an apology from
Judge White, and if it is not given, and
will agree not to take refuge behind his
judicial character. he, Porter, will trust the
case to settlement by jury trial.
Mr.. Moore states that he is not afraid of
Mr.. LiddelIs threat to sue him for suborpa-
tion of perjury, and that he, Moore, had
nothing to do with inducing Mrs. Clark and
her daughter to make the afidavits; that
they had volunteered, and that he had ex-
amined the records and found that the girl
had really been before the grand jury, and
also that James Townsley was a witness.
Under all this smoke it is believed there
will be found considerable combustion.

ager. In the afternoon they had been un-
able to meet many of the directors, but
nearly all were present last evening. Mr..
William McCreery spoke a few words of
welcome, and Judge Cunningham, of Chi
cago, made short address, In the course
of it he took occasion to speak in high praise
of the Pittsburg Exposition. Speeches ex-
tolling Chicago were made by Mr.. Addison
Ballard and DR.. w. o Osgood.
Mr.. S. S. Marvin said that he had not
given much attention to the projected
Worlds Fair. but he was of opinion that
good point in favor of Chicago was the fact
that foreign visitors going there would see so
much of the resources and energy of the
United States at large.
This forenoon the Thirteenth Regiment
Band will give complimentary concert to
the Chicago visitors. The delegation will
depart for home about noon.

stand Mr.. Boucicaults emotions on similar
occasion. Every thing passed on smootny
until the end of the scene. That is, Wnen
the actors knew their lines, or, rather, my
lines, they spoke them; and when tney
didn't at once prompted them and was
told to "shut up in an audible aside 1ol
mypains.
Tell made his entrance with his HISTORIC
cross-gun and refused to bow to the cap,
whereupon he was seized and ordered TO
shoot the apple from of his sons head.
This was my cue to act, and when the apple
was placed upon my head and cast a prouo
glance at the spectators, felt like Edmund
Dantes on the lonely rock: The world was
mine!
There was an impressive silence as Tell
raised his bow, and something like shud-
der ran through the audience. But just as
Tell was taking careful aim at the apple
the incident happened which changed the
whole course of ny life and robbed the
stage of one of the most promising young
dramatists that ever made up his mind 10

torium broke the stiffness.
THAT will do, Mr.. Tell. Don't shoot!"
1t was my father He had come out
quietly in his slippers and ascended the
ladder just in time probably to save my life.
At the distance which separated us, if Tells
aim had not been of the best and the arrow,
which was pointed with lead, had hit ME in
stead of the apple my debut. would have
ended in a tragedy. No thought Of the
danger l was about to run entered my

At this interruption l dropped my as
sumed character and burst into tears.
But, pa l blubbered, ''if you don't let
him shoot you will spoil the play"
''No matter, my son; dent propose to
let him put out one of your eyes"
lifted up my voice and walled louder
than ever.
II don't care,"I howled, IL wiH let him
shoot the apple off my head"
That remark was a mistake. My sire
proceeded to step over the heads of the
audience, reached the stage and the next
second he had me in his grasp.
He had always been a kind, indulgent
parent to me, but 1 never knew him to shirk
his duty. and since had no more sense than
to stand up and make target of myself
(not the first case on record, however), he
felt called upon to show me the folly Of my
act. He took me across his knee and
warmed me in presence of the entire
audience. The scene was one of the most
finished bits of realism ever put on the
stage. 1t was also exceedingly touching.

A wave Of darkness rolled over me as
fell to the ground, just as heard some
thing swish through the air.
But was up in a minute just in time to
see my rescuer give pull that frightened
the lasso about the dogs neck. A few con-
vulsions and the dog was strangled-dead
within six feet of me.
My thanks were cut short by the appear

back to the ranch, an invitation not to be de.
clined under the circumstances.
Sallie Bolton rode on ahead, and when
reached the house her father was waiting to
congratulate me upon my escape.
'It was Pedros work" he sald. "He un-
locked the door and set the dog on your
trail-at least, 1 think so. He had key,
and he has disappeared"
Undoubtedly it was Pedro. He had been
trying to pay me back.
