in which to educate themselves
and become a more intelligent class OF citi-
zens. Some people make the argument
against the movement that as soon as we
secure an eight hour work day we Will
want to reduce it still further, but sucn
persons do not know what they are talk
inc about. Eight hours is the limit we
ask for. and we figure that will be sutfi-
Gent for say the next fifty years,
and when we get eight hours tina: Is
all we ask. OF course the building
trades are taking the initiative In this
matter because they are in better position
to do so. After they have gained the goal
thev will assist other trades in reaching II.
I tell you that il every man IN this coun-
try had an eight-hour work day there
would not be the army of idle men In the
country to day, and it would be to the
advantage of employer, business men and
workmen alike. If man will sit down
and study the matter out he will see that
himself. I could give you many srgu'
ments in its favor if had the time"
Hon John Corcorsn, of the A F. G. W.
U.-''Yes, have Just returned from the
convention of the American Federation OF
Labor. which met in Boston last week,
where went as delegate, and had
very pleasant and profitable time. There
were about seventy-tive delegates present,
representing over 100000 men. Inc
Federation IN the past year has ABOUT
doubled it's membership, believe, and
think BIZ the next meeting OF the convent on
if will have been doubled again. Tney
took the eight hour movement under con
siderstion and some time was spent IN dis
cussipp it. All the building trades are
under control of the Federation, and the
designation of what trades are to be au-
thorjzed TO demand the eight-hour work
day was left to the Executive Council OF
tine Federation, which will meet ut
the call of the Chairman OF
the Council. suppose the
Council will meet some time in January.
Of course the movement is a popular one
and it is bound to be 90. l have no
doubt bat that the eight hour work day
will be granted to those who demand 1t.
1t comes about as near solving the LABOR
problem as can be done at pres
emit. and it takes nothing from
the employer but puts a larger amount
of money in circulation, Desiues
giving the working men more opportunity
to read and study up on questions that
will improve their mental condition. L
tell you never heard better speeches than
1 beard at the meeting of the Federation,
and it is only an evidence of what work
ingmen can make Of themselves when they
have the opportunity"
Charles Moore, one of the prominent
painters of the city. said:
81 have no doubt of the success of the
movement in Wheeling. As soon as the
organizations of the building trades, to be
designated to lead the movement, 90 cut,
if that course is necessary, they will be
supported by the entire organized labor OF
the vicinity. A large fund has already
been accumulated for the purpose OF sup
porting any strike which may be necessary,
and the men to be designated can be sup
ported for two years, if so long time is
necessary for them to carry their point"

TEN AND COSTS
Is What Il Costs to Do the Hot Leg
Act.
THE HEARING In THE ROBINSON CASE
Had Before Justice Davis, Yesterday After
noon.
OTHER CRIMINAL NEWS NOTES.

The case Of the State v. Buck Tyler,
Frank Thompson, John Proctor, ]. A.
Hunt, John Reitz, and William Green,
charged with being concerned in the burn
ing Of Frank Robinson, at Hunts barber
shop, on Chapline street, on the morning
of the 4th inst, was called before Jurtice
W. H. Davis, at ? o'clock yesterday after
noon. There was large crowd Of spscta-
tors present, and the hearing was quite in
teresting. At the conclusion, Rsiiz,
Thompson and Proctor were discharged,
and Hunt, Tyler and Green were fined ten
dollars and costs. Hunt furnished the
money, and the others were committed to
ISL. The punishment was not made more
severe, or the parties held to the grand
Jury, because the State was unable to show
any malicious intent.
Robinson, the victim, was brought in
from the county Infrmsry, where he had
been under the care of DR.. Orscraft ever
since the discovery of the crime. When
be was put on the stand he said he could
not identity any of the defendants as hav-
ing had a hand in the matter, as he was
asleep when the alcohol was poured upon
him, and the match applied. he was still
suffering from the effects of the burn, and
seemed quite shaky.
DR.. Cracraft testified that the burn was
about six by twelve inches in size and was
what was known as a secondary burn.
The wound Yves now healed, except a
place about the size of q mans hand.
The humorous side of a serious matter
began to come out when Will Turner took
the stand. Turner said:
"Pd ICES been down in de oellah vii Back,
an when We come up Robinson was s-lay-
in down, wifi his knees up, jess so. Green
he had glass vii alcohol in it, an be took
it over an Jess poured it on him. l guess
it went on his leg, an Jess nschual'y run
up on his breast, kaJe his leg was higher
den his head Hunt, he Jess lit piece of
papah, and held it out Jess so to Buck, an
told Buck ter set him on fire. Buck he
said he didn't want to do 1t, but Hunt ne
told him ter 20 ahead, and Buck, he took
de papah and set him afire. He all blszed
up, an run an got my ovahcoat, an
tried 70 thrash out de fab. l frowd watah

Turner said that neither Reitz nor
Thompson, nor Proctor had anything to do
with the affair.
Q.-Turner, did you ever see the shot

CHRISTMAS music.
The Tunes That Will be Sung in the Different
Churches
IN CELEBRATION OF CHRISTMAS TIDE
Also the Personnel Of the Various
ChOirs.
THE PROGRAMMES IN FULL,

II has only been of late years that the
churches so generally observed Christmas
Day by special services of praise and song.
OF course the Roman Catholic and Episco-
pal churches have always observed the fes-
tival but the Protestant denominations
did not, the claim being thst the day upon
which Christ YVES born was not definitely
known. But in these latter days all the
churches are falling into line, and so for
some years back the REGIRTER has been
able to give to its readers several days
in advance of Christmas the
full programmes of music to be sung IN
connection with the Christmas services in
the various churches, as well as the
names of those comprising the choirs 1t
will be noticed that the Protestant
churches except the Episcopalian have no
services on Christmas day, but observe il
either the Sunday before or after the
twenty fifth of December. The music in
all the churches will be especially good
this year, and the programmes are as fol-
lows:
