The Bitter Struggle Between the 1EaA1. faotursrs and Unions Commenced.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 3e.-The preliminary skirmishing in the battle of the bricks is over, and to-day begins in dead earn est the bitter struggle between the Brick Manufacturers Association and the Board of Walking Delegates.
 Promptly at midnight tonight the of their product to this market land continue the tie-up, so they say, until the Board of Walking Delegates lift the boycott upon the Verplanck Point firms of O'BrieR & Vaughey, Cyrus Travers, King & Lynch and Avery 6 Makey.
 The deiegafeE~re just as determined that they will not lift the boycott, and they are evidently meeting with good auceess in preventing the prohibited product from coming into the New York market.
 All wharves are closely watched and all barges keenly inspected, and as yet none of the boycotted firms bricks have been discovered.
 Meanwhile the disastrous effects of the impending t'tie-up" are becoming more and more visible, No new con- Materials Exchange, and buyers and sellers have also brought their opera tions to 8 standstilI.
 The general paralysis of building that is sure to follow the manufactu- rers' tie-up to-day will on Monday also witness the lockout of 100 900 employees of the various building trades in New York. Brooklyn and Jersey City.

FsOd and Money Needed by the Victims
 of the Cyclone.
 WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 22.-In all parts of the city carpenters and brick layers are engaged in repairing the damage done by the cyclone, and hun dreds more could be employed. Food and money are sorely needed, though most of the sufferers are being relieved by the poor authorities and the chari- tably disposed.
 Work will be suspended for the next 60 days at the Hillman mine. The head house of the breaker was oom- pletely blown away and part of the machinery damaged. For 6 time the hundred men who were employed in tho mine when the storm came were in @ precarious condition, as the fan had stopped, but they made for the shaft and got safely out. A naked lamp ignited the gas that quickly accumu. lated and this, too, threatened serious consequences, but a shift of six men fought the flames and finally put them out.
 The Delaware & Hud son Canal Com pany, whose loss is SIS, 900, has began the reconstruction of their demolished buildings.

TAO Central Freight Tr1ans Moving an
 che 0Sr1ksra QusaT .

ALRANx, N. F., Aug. 22.-The New York Central Railroad for the first time ran the work train to West Al bany, taking up about 90 men. The train usually carries 500 men. The road has succeeded in clearing up five of the West Albany freight tracks and sent three long trains of general freight and oil to New York and four west.
 Green switchmen at the bridge ap. breaches have narrowly escaped caus. ing serious injury and bad collisions. The trains run very slow on the grades near these switches.
 All the passenger trains were from an hour to an hour and half late, and no reasons could bo vscsrtained except that the engineers were afraid to run fast because of green switchmen.
 District Master Workman Lee and Edward Portley, secretary, have ar rived from New York. Mir. Lee said: There Is nothing to say. The inter- views published with Messrs. Powderly and Lee explain the situation. It will be after tomorrow before any great move is made"

They aIe manfully pontendinE for the right to maintain their organization, they are now at a standstill, and in some instances their places are being filled by members of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, who have slipped down from the footboard to pick up the shovels which were dropped by the fre- men.
 Are you willing tRat this should continue r Are we to understand that this action ia to receive the sanction of the organization you represent? The Knights of Labor desire to know where you stand on this question, for you are authorized to voice the sentiments of your order.
 If your members continue to do the work of hremen we shall know that it is with your consent and the future will be plain before us. We do not ask for your official sanction of the strike, we only ask for fair treatment at your The man who takes the place of another in this contest is untrue to the cause of orHan4 tzed labor "a
 lFemain very respectfully yours,

Cardinal Newman John Boyle O'ReiIly

In the death of these two great men the world feels that it has lost two in- tellectuAl giants who were endowed with something like supernatural ge- nius. Their whole lives were spent in trying to better the condition of their fellow men, yet they met with fierce expedition from the very ones they tried to serve. When will poor, weak human nature try to reverse the order of things and give credit to men while they are ivingi As it is with nations 80 it is with great concerns like the Waterbury Furniture Co, which is do- ing everything in an honorable way to benefit the people, buying goods by the carload in order to make the man. ufacturers pay the freight and thus save our customers large percentage. Of course WE ARE NOT PERFECT. The Waterbury Furniture Co has its dark spots, so HAS THE SUN. Com petition and opposition make us like the diamond-THE MORE WE ARE RUBBED THE BRIGHTER WE SHINE. The more we are pushed the harder we work to please our custom CTS. Take for instance, our beautiful "QuAker" Jr Range, all furnished com plete for $e5, that other dealers are compelled to charge $50 for. It makes us smile when We see how happy we are making the young couples who are getting married. The young men all wish they had got married sooner when they price our goods and find how far A little money will go ip furnishing home.
 In conclusion we most respectfully thank the New York "Sun" and other Metropolitan papers, as we'll as the Hartford "Times," the New Haven Palladium" and other state papers for publishing our productions. Good, healthy, reading is what the people ought to have and we will continue to give it to them.

 vsIOpm~nts-PowdsrIy Writes Co Arthur
 NEW YORK, Aug. s2.-Mr. Powdsrly has issued his appeal, to which refer ence was made yesterday, and which is addressed "To the People"
 He repeats the charge against the company of discharging employees be- cause they have been leading members of the Knights of Labor, and gives @ resume of his story of his interviews with MT. Touoey and Mir. Webb, the causes leading to the strike, and the re- peated efforts made by him and others to settle the matter by arbitration.
 The appeal then goes on to say:
 "The public may have formed erro- neous impressions of the position of the Knights in the controversy We pany that 1t shall not discharge its employees, but in all fairness the dis charged man should be told why he is dismissed"
 The statement goes on with Q strong appeal to organized labor and the pub lie to aid in the struggle, and attacks the company as a monopolistic institu- tion. "Whether we win or lose In the present contest" it says, "the battle will go on until that power Is wea kensd forever or the public Is 'damned.'"
 After giving out his appeal to the public, Mir. Powderly said:
 "I never ordered strike in my life. In this case we have simply come to the aid of the men who are out. Unless we say The strike is off, there is noth- ing else for us to do. We have offered to arbitrate, to investigate, and to question the men and thus secure evil dence, but the company will accept nothing. What can we do except fight ! My whole career has been in opposition to strikes. have no objection to 0 fair criticism, no matter how much 1t is against my views.
 Only the Vanderbilt Lines
 MT. Wright, e member of the K. of L. General Executive Board, said: "We shall probably take no action until the sion tomorrow. In the meantime, we are going to do everything we can to strengthen our position. Our head quarters will probably be in New York, although we shall be moving along the line all the while. I have read in some of the papers that we are going to call out the men on every railroad in the country, as we'll as the surface roads in this city. This Is utterly absurd, and we haven't even entertained an idea of doing so. We are going to eonfine ourselves for the present to the Vanderbilt system. I am going to get a chart of all the rail roads in the country in which the Vsnderb bilts have big interest, and believe 1t will include few which will surprise some people,"

MERCANTILE COOPERATIVE BANK.

LOANS PAYABLE IN INSTALLMENTS
 A shareholder in the Mercantile Co., operative Bank may borrow in install ments. If he does not own real estate suf- ficient to pledge the loan, and owns lot, wishing to build upon it he can take shares and apply for loan, drawing the loan as his building progresses.
 For instance, suppose that a man holds shares, he is entitled to apply for loan of $1,000, as the maturity value of his shares is $1 ,000. If he owns lot worth say $400, and wishes to build home upon it for say, $1 ,00O, he can apply for loan of $1 ,000, and will get $500 as the first in stallment on his $400 lot. With that $500 he can commence building, and on the ex- penditure of that amount, his lot will be worth S700 and he can borrow another in stallment on furnishing the bank certi- ficate from the architect, builder or con- tractor of such expenditure, and so from time to time, as the building progresses he can draw his installments, as he needs them, so that on the completion of the building, he will have his full $1 1000 loan, and the bank will have first mort gage on the property, which will then be worth $1 400, and ample security for the money borrowed
