LONDON, December 7.-[Copyright. J.
The threatened strike of London gas stokers
on the south side of the Thames, promises
to be as productive of incident and interest
as the dockmen's strike. The origin of the
dispute is a curious one The South Lon
don Company, like all the London gas
companies, is enormously rich, but the law
viii not allow it to distribute more than 10
per cent dividends, though some small ex-
ira bonus is conceded. Consequently the
company scarcely knows what to do with
its surplus funds. The chiefs are all paid
handsomely, luxury abOunds in the houses
and Offices of the staff, new gas mains of the
most expensive kinds are being constantly
LAID, and new works erected. The gas has
been reduced in price two or three times,
and still there is q surplus.
TROUBLE WITH ITS SURPLUS.
To get rid of the surplus, and at the same
time benefit their workmen, the directors of
the company elaborated scheme whereby
every man would have 8 small sum paid
him yearly. In return for this privilege
the men were to sign a II months contract,
in which it was set forth that the bonus ab-
oolutely OelOngeo 70 Tue men, unless Ia
case of willful misbehayior or of strike.
iThereupon the men rebelled. They thought,
81 they signed for II months, the company
would only try to get more work out of
them, and they saw also an attempt, by
binding them so closely, to break up the
Gas StOkers' Union. They would prefer to
have their wages advanced 81 weekly, and
to forgo the fortnight annual holiday at the
eomPany's expense.
BOUND TO STICK TO IT.
Naturally the directors are indignant at
having their gift treated in this way, and as
. large number of employees have already
signed the contract. they are determined to
abide bv their scheme. The stokers, how
ever, who have manly held aloof from it,
have determined to resist, and a strike will
commence in a weeks time, unless some ar
kzngement is arrived at. Already the men

Celebration OF the Eighteenth Anniver-

TIE celebration of the eighteenth ami
versary Of the st. AlphOnsus Society took
placs yesterday, and more delightful
weather for such an event could hardly be
imagined. The rains of Sunday night and
early Monday morning laid the dust nicely
aud tempered the atmosphere to suit the
occasion.
Ats o'clock tbs procession left St. Al
pbopsus Hall and marched over the prin-
cipsl streets. The Opera House band
headed the line; then came the Knights of
s.. George il full uniform and the Young
Mems Society of St Alphonsus Church,
while the st. Alphonsus Society, several
hundred strong brought up the rear.
At 10 o'clock the members and their
families and friends boarded the motors at
the Elm Grove depot and whirled out into
the country. A good many had gone out
esrlier, but the majority did not 90 out
until the afternoon. The crowd was a
very large one, numbsring something like
800.
The day was spent in a most enjoyable

the day it rendered an enjoyable concert

1t was intended to have several speeches

Germ which had been put on the new nail,

and the men walked out. They claim that
the Laughlin mill is the only one in the
district which 10 making the new weight

allowing the managers to experiment.
The sent a committee, composed of David
Lady, David Paxton and NJ. F. Bailey,
to Wheeling and Bsllaire to learn whether
or not the other factories are
making the new nsils, and they returned
aud reported that they are not. The men
claim that the new weight means reduc-
ton of 25 per cent. to them, and that even
if they would stand it the boys would not,
and that it is as we'll for them to quit as to
be forced to do so By the self-feeder boys.
The new nail card calls for 600 more 90
penny nails to the keg than heretofore, and
that they will not be able to make living
under the new arrangement.
The management claims that something
must be done 10 help the nail trade, and
she new light nail seems to be the only
way out of the box. They also claim that
even the light nails will be no benefit il

Something About the Preparations Being
Made for IL.
Tae first department in the premium list
of the West Virginia State Pair, composed
of class horses, rOadsters and light harness,
carriage and general purposes, Clydesdale
aud English draft horses. Percheron and
Norman draft horses, gsldings and mares
for light harness, matched horses and
mares and Shetland ponies, Mr.. John NJ
NicOls Superintendent, promises to have
more entries than ever before known in
the history of the Fair, The one hundred
and twenty-five elegant stalls set aside for
this class are now being vut in frst-clsss
condition.
This presents an opportunity to horse
owners to show who has the best. A red
or blue tag, as first or second premium,
given by West Virginia State FAIR ASCOT
alton, and the handsome premiums offered,
is indeed no small reputation for the ami
NAL or article receiving them.
II is indeed surprising to know how
much talk it creates for an animal recelv-
ing first or second prize, and how often
they are pointed ont even long after the
Fair. We know of horses that have sold
for twenty-five per cent more on account
Of having received first premium.
Secretary Hook say that never before
in the history of the Fair have entries
come in so rapidly in all the classes as this
year.
The judges in tie First as well as all
other departments, will be competent men
who have never before judged at this Fair,
and will give fair and impartial decision.
No judge can be in any way interested in
any sniual OF article which is in the class
they reiudgng.
We are pleased to know that this gears
Fair promises to be the best in every par
ticulsr ever given by the West Virginia
