Printers Strike Ont.

Los Angeles, CAL, August SAIL
the Union printers employed on the
four daily papers in this city went
on strike late last evening. Some
days ago the proprietors of the papers
united in request for a reduction in
the scale from so cents per thousand
to 40 cents. The Union declined to
accede to this, and in turn put a
formal demand that the proprietors
sign contract by Tuesday noon to
maintain the present rates. This the
proprletors refused, and the strike
followed. The proprietors gathered
together as many non. Union printers
as they could find, and the papers
were published this morning as usual.

A Bloody Contest Expected.


ST.. LOUIS, August S.-Reports come
from the Chickasaw Indian nation
thar the election at which the ma
tional officers and members of both
houses of the legislature are to
be elected next Tuesday, is
likely to be exciting, ii not
bloody. The contest between
the progressive party under the Hon
Sam Paul and the anti-progressionists
under Gov. VIM. Byrd, the present
incumbent. The latter party claim
that the former intend to carry the
election by fraud and intimidation
and Gov. BYRD has called out
the militia, which will be
stationed at all voting places
to protect the ballot box and preserve
peace. The progressionists deny the
charge made against them and de.
clare they will not submit to any
bulldozing methods, and trouble is
anticipated.

Isaac Beers.

One of the oldest and wealthiest OF
NewtOwn's citizens passed away, Sun
day morning, when Isaac Beers of Sandy
Hook died ut the age of IS. lie had
been sick only about week with grip
complicated with congestion of the lungs
After Thursday, he sank rapidly and
lost flesh and strength alarmingly. lie
was conscious, but unable to speak and
died without II struggle in his favorite
chair. lie had been an invalid for a
number of years, though his physical
condition and appetite remained good.
He had been tenderly cared for through
his long illness by his wife, who had as
watchers Stanton Mullee, Charles Skeels
and Chgrles Shepard. The funeral was
largely attended from his late residence
in Sandy Hook, Thursday at l 30 p m,
Rev A. p. Chapman of st. Johns ofiicia-
ting. The burial was at the Newtown
cemetery near the Street and the bearers
were Hon Smith p. Glover, Jerome judi
son, William Il. Ackley, c. b. Sherman,
Abel b. Prindle, Frederick Sanford. The
floral tributes were profuse, elaborate
and appropriate. Mr. Beers, who was al
most the last of his generation, was son
of Abel Beers and one of family of
eight children, Charles, Beach, Isaac,
Sylvia (Mrs Tousey), Esther David IL.
Johnson's first wife), Rebecca (Mr John
sons widow and two sisters who died
young. At his fathers request, Isaac
Beers learned the comb makers trade,
though he wished to become either law
yer or Il merchant. lie followed the
trade, associating with him at one time
Matthew III. Fairchild and conducting
the business at his home near the pres
ent site of Trinity church. Mr. Beers
spent some time in Stratford and Bridge
port and went as far west as Chicago,
but returned to Newtown and, by for
tunate investments and keen business
perceptions, -acqulred Il fortune, second,
probably, to none in town. lie has been
called one of the shrewdest financiers
who ever lived in Newtown. He was at
various times town clerk and justice of
the peace and was often called upon to
settle estates. Possessed of some pecul-
iarities and strong individuality, he was
just and exact in business. For his first
wife he married Mrs Maria Glover, Wild
owed mother of Henry Beers Glover. In
1871, he married Miss Eliza Bostwick of
Bridgeport, who survives him.
