Turned Into the Street.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE plsPArcHl
NEW YORK, August 29.-The go families
who have worked in the tenement house
cigar mandatory of Rosenthal Bros,
351 East Seventy-third street, are likely to
be dispossessed on Monday. The whole 90
families refused to make any more cigars on
Monday night last because the firm refused
to increase the pay by 80 cents thousand.
They say the firm had promised this in
crease. The firm have had warrants served
upon all their tenants. So far but two of
them have moved. The employees be-
long to no union. They gave a
picnic on August 10 in Jones' Wood,
which was largely attended by the Bohe-
mIans OF the city. The others have paid up
their rent to September l, but will refuse to
pay longer or accept tobacco from Rosen-
thai Bros. to be worked up into cigars. To-
day all the employees were in their good
clothes out in front of the big tenements.
They can readily find quarters elsewhere.
for tenement cigar factories are plenty.
Mr.. Rosenthal said this afternoon: "I
do not want any trouble with my employees.
have not had any trouble with them since
the x. of L. fight, now three years ago. 1
believe that my employees misunderstood me
when they thought that ] had accepted their
demand for an increase of 80 cents upon
their present wages. / could not afford
that. / said that / would pay them 25
cents, and have done so. They will not
take less than 30 cents, and they have
stopped work.

Monte Men Almost ee-
cure a Big Prize.
ALLENTOWN, August 29.-Abraham
Bechtel, a well-to-do farmer, residing near
Dillingersville, this county, had narrow
escape from being feeced out of large sum
of money by three swindlers who attempted
the old confidence game. In fact, the sud-
den illness of a member of Bechtels family
alone saved him from financial loss.
On the day in question well-dressed
stranger stopped at the Bechtel farmhouse
and made inquiry as to whether any farm
properties were for sale in that section, pre-
tending that he and some friends wanted to
buy a farm. He acknowledged that they
knew but little of farm properties and sug-
gested, inasmuch as Mr.. Bechtel was we'll
posted on such matters, he would be just the
man to guide them and at the same time
proposed to have him accompany them on
the purchasing errand next day.
Next day the stranger and a companion
drove up in a splendid team and persuaded
Mr.. Bechtel to accompany them. After
driving about half mile they met another
man coming in the opposite direction. He
stopped and said he also was out looking for
a young girl, and that if he found her he
would come in for a nice pile of money. In
due time the late arrival produced num-
Der of playing cards and proceeded with the
three-card monte game. Bechtel became
interested, as the manipulation so handled
the cards that the victim could not fail to
pick out the right one. 1t was finally pro-
posed that they play for a money stake.
This was agreed to and Mr.. Bechtel and his
partner jointly won $4,000. A condition
was, however, attached to this winning.
MIR. Bechtel was required to put up pile
of money to show that he would have been
able to pay if he had lost.
Not having the requisite funds with him,
he and one of the sharpers went back to Mr..
Bechtel's homeito get some money. His wife
and children tried to dissuade him from
going back, they seeing through the swindle.
Bechtel was determined, however, and fill
ing his pockets with money, said moth
ing could make him alter his mind As he
was about re-entering the carriage, one of
his children fell into dead faint from ex-
citement and fear, and, on seeing this, Mr.
Bechtel jumped out of the vehicle and ran
back to the house, whereupon the sharper
drove off as fast as he could, evidently see
ing that their chance for swindling had van
ished.

AN exchange notes the fact that Sc
attic papers are calling Judge Hoyt
"Chief Justice Hoyt." On what
ground this is done is not known.
Possibly they have the whole thing
cut and dried. This year the whole
court will choose presiding Judge.
The Constitution provides that the
judge having the shortest term shall
be Chief Justice. As two of them are
elected for the short term (three years)
the full court must choose the Chief
Justice. No one knows who those two
are until they draw lots to decide, and
then it would seem the proper thing
that the one of those who has the
largest popular vote should be the
Chief Justice. Judge Hoyt may get
the seven-year lot or one Of the five
year lots, then, according to the con-
stitution he could not be Chief Justice.
None of the judges-elect know yet how
long they are to serve, and will not
until they meet and draw lots.
