THE STRIKE IN HERRICKS.
Some Reasons For it Given by the Secretary
of the Union.

Some Reasons For IL Given by the Secretary
Of the Union.
Regarding the strike of tilelayers in G..
7. Herrick's store. reference to which was
made in an evening paper Of yesterdays
date, Mr.. A. Goodfellow, the secretary of
the Mosaic and Encaustic Tile Layers
Union, last night said:
''The trouble began by one of Mr.. Her
rick's men coming to the union, and while
there behaving himself in such an unmanly
manner that the members decided that his
absence was better than his company. He
made use of such language in reference to
the whole body Of the union as to warrant a
fine of So being imposed upon him, and
which he distinctly refused to pay.
ga committee of tilelayers and their help
ers waited upon Mr., Herrick, who promised
that their wishes would be complied with,
but after waiting for an answer until their
next meeting, and none being received, the
members of the union decided that they
could not any longer work with man who
did all in his power to break up his union.
Mr.. Herrick has declared his intention of
running his shop with non-union men. The
Mess-s. Aitken, the Pittsburg Tiling Com
pany and the Star Encaustic Tile Company
employ none but union men. None of the
latter firms will employ this man."

Trouble at scottdale Settled by Two K. of
L. Reinatntements.
The trouble at the Buckeye Coke Works of
the A. c. Cochran Coke Company, at Scott
dale, has been settled by the reinstatement
Of the two men who were discharged, and
the men returned to work yesterday. A
member of the firm stated that while
the two men who were the cause of the
trouble were reinstated, it was with the un-
derstanding that they should no longer act
as members of the local committee of the
Knights of Labor. He says, while acting
in that capacity, they attempted to compel
some of the non-union men to join the order
or leave the works, and that was the cause
of their discharge.
1t was reported at knights of Labor head
quarters yesterday that the men at Penns-
vile Coke Works had come out The cause
. of the trouble is said to be that three of the
men were discharged for not working We'd

PAUL YOUNG'S DEATH.
A Statement From the Family COntroverts
the Suicide Theory.

A Statement From the Family ControVerts
the Suicide Theory.
The information from Canton, o., rela-
tive to the death of Paul Young, the son of
Captain J. J. Young, of this city, was clear
ly in error as to the cause of the young
mans death. The statement that it was
suicide is denied by the members of the
household where the accident occurred, and
the idea is refuted by all his friends.
The facts of the case are these: The young
man retired to his room on New Years Eve
about 10 o'clock, but did not go to bed. He
was sitting in his room at midnight when the
people on the street began shooting as
the new year was ushered in. He went for
ward to the window with the intention Of
joining in the celebration, and, at the time,
had in his hand 32-caliber selfcocking re-
volver. The window was hard to raise and
stuck in the sash about foot above the sill.
He placed the revolver in his left hand and
tried to force the window higher, when the
revolver was discharged and the bullet en-
tered his left temple. He was found the
next morning lying on the floor beneath the
partially opened window.
The wound was clear cut one, showing
no marks of powder, as would have been the
case if held within even foot of his head.

KILLED BY A SLATE BLOCK.

The COroner's Verdict Removes Any Re.

At the Coroner's inquest held yesterday
upon the death Of Adrian Petras, nothing
developed which tended to show any care
lessness on the part of those in charge Of the
work.
Petras was employed at the Port Royal
mines, Baltimore and Ohio road, and on
December 81 received the injury which re-
suited in his death. Ablock of slate, four

lures TO the Petition Therefor.
The Arsenal Park petition, which is in
the hands of Mr.. S. Paterson, Postmaster of
Station B, has been very extensively signed
within the past few days. The postofice
has been deluged with people eager to sign
the petition. The whole district is taking
up the idea with great enthusiasm, and the
LaVrencevllle postmaster thinks that Con-
gress will aequiesce in the demands of the
citizens.
Almost every business mau in the Seven
teenth ward has already signed the petition,
but if any of them have yet failed to put
their signature to the document, Mr.. Pater-
son wants to call attention to the fact that
the petition is yet open, and can be signed
by all who sympathize with the scheme.
1t is the intention of the men who have
the scheme under their care not to hand it
in until every resident in the neighborhood
indorses the project by his name.

AMANHoLE BLOWN OUT.


An Explosion Producing Peculiar Results ON
the Street Surface.
An explosion Of natural gas on Cary
alley, between Twenty-second and Twenty
third streets, yesterday morning, blew the
grating out of the manhoIe. 1t was thrown
to such height that the cobblestones were
crushed by its fall.
The report was heard several squaresIof.
Some damage was done to the plumbing in
adjacent cellars. 1t is said that the sewer
pipes on Twenty y-second street, near Carson,
are very small and quite inadequate, and
the idea prevails among some of the resi-
dents that the explosion was from sewer gas
and attributable to this fact.
