srul LOCKED OUT.
What a Reporter saw Around the Nal
leable Works st Noon.

The locked out moplders at the
Malleable Iron Works seem to be causing
8 great deal of trouble in that neighbor-
hood. The men congregate at the corner
of Taylor and Locust streets, just
opposite the works, especially about the
time the employees are leaving or going
to the works. This morning, an appren-
tice named Hanley was arrested by
Special Officer Thompson, whom the men
call the NONRESIDENT policeman" for
disorderly conduct He was taken out
about noon by one of the men, who
got John J. Horner as his bondsman.
An EVENING JOURNAL reporter inter
viewed some of the men this morning
They claim that when they gather at the
corner, either before or after working
hours, the workmen will come out and
want to drive them from the corner
They say that every morning this week
gang of about twenty-five "Hungari-
ans, Italians, Germans and Negroes" is
sued from the yard and marched up past
the corner, pushing the men there, right
and left. One fellow said. with an awful
oath, If you get in my way, Ill kill
you, you d. bum"
They also state that when they go to
the city authorities for redress, they are
compelled to go through so much red tape
that they have given up that means Of
protection. They say that Hanley was
arrested because he laughed aloud, and
for nothing else. They asked why man
who had lived in the city only few
months, could wear star, as does the
mon resident policemen" Thompson
The clerks II the Office say that the men
have become a nuisance to that neigh
borhood. and are constantly interfering
with the employees of the works They
say that the men may as well find en-
ployment elsewhere, as there is not a
shadow Of hope for their being taken
Into the works again
At II o'clock many employees came
from the yard, going to their homes for
dinner. The reporter was then standing
in the crowd of men. They made no eff
fort to interfere with the workmen Mr..
Thompson, the mon resident, got into
a carriage and as he drove by them one
of the number pointed directly in his
face and with sneer said: That's the
nonresident policeman He made no
reply. but drove on. Presently the foreman
of the moulders came out wrapped in a
storm overcoat aud walked directly past
the men. Another one pointed tine fin
ger of scorn in his face and said in very
loud tone of voice, with derisive laugh,
That's the scab foreman"

ARGUMENTS BEGUN.



AT the afternoon convocasion Of
Superior Court yesterday, the tedious
progress Of the Ferry will case was con
tinued, but there was a look Of relief en-
the faces Of all. forit was known that the
close Of this brief after dinner session
would see the completion of the last lap
in the taking of testimony.
Mr. Lore was prevented by ruling of
the court from introducing certain docu-
ments to show that Mrs. HRughey was IN
comfortable circumstances and that John
Ferry's mother, q widowed sister and
brothers were dependent upon him
though they received nothing when the
estate was settled. Neither was he al
lowed to state the assessed value of the
Ferry property.
Thomas r Lally, the first witness in
the case, took the stand again and Mr.
Lore asked him what income the Ferry
estate produced. Mr.. Spruance objected,
and the court sustained him. Witness
was not allowed to state whether he went
directly to the sick room when he visited
the Ferry mansion to write the will
notwithstanding Mr.. Spruance's demurrer
Mr.. Lore learned from the witness that
there were no evidences that Mr. Ferry
had just recovered from q fainting spell
when he entered the room. The court
refused to let witness state whether
stimulants were given to the sick man to
enable him to sign the will
Patrick Neary then went Ia the wit
ness box again and stated that when he
and Mr.. Lally visited Ferry for the pur-
pose Of making will they waited at the
foot Of the stairs few minutes and then
were ushered into the sick chamber He
| observed no signs OF recent recusitation
from fainting spell, Lally read the will
and the testator said THAT all right.
F., That is what want Witness could
not say who signed the win first Mrs.
Ferry was in the room at first but went
out before any business was transacted.
Mr.. Lally advised Ferry TO destroy the
old will Here the defendants rested
their case
The plaintiff then called Miss Anna
Mary Haughey. daughter Of Mrs.
Catherine Haughey, sister of the late
John Ferry Her father was in the roof
ing business with Mr.. Ferry. When he
died he left no will Her mother con
tinued in the firm with Mr. Ferry for one
year after her husbands death. Tn,
estate of the firm was partitioned in 1878
John Ferry collected all the rents up K
this period. Witness was shown ledger
containing the sums paid her mother By
Ferry. Mr.. Lore, on discrimination
CLEANED from the witness that her mother
WAS confined to her bed, but not from /
serious illness. Witness said that they
lived in house, rent free, belonging K
the Ferry estate, but the store below wa.
rented out.
| On denomination by Mr.. Spruanc.
the witness gave as the reason for tn,
state Of affairs that her mother boarded
Mrs Ferry's mother in return for tbs
possession of the house
Both sides rested here and court ad

AT 11.40 o'clock he yielded the floor t,
