Special to the Jersey City Ne,cs
ELIZABETH. May 9, 1890. The big whis-
tie at the Singer Machine Works blew
promptly at seven o'clock yesterday
morning, summoning all the employees
to work. This was glad news for the
thousands who, with their families. de-
pended on the works for their livelihood.
Those employed in the burnt portion were
put at work clearing away the ruin; while
in the other parts the business went
ON as usual A large number of
laborers got employment at fifteen cents
per hour shoyeling up and removing the
debris. Owing to the fact that reports
had been circulated that the factory
would not resume for some time only
about two-thirds of the operatives pre-
sented themselves for work To-Day, it is
expected, all the hands, with the excep-
tion OF 800 employees, will have resumed
Work. The managers of the factory say
that work will be pushed night and day,
if possible, TO get the wreck part ready
for rebuilding.

man was murdered There is gaping

it had been murdered and thrown over
board but short time before.

VERY SENSIBLE STRIKERS.


The Police Headquarters BrickIayers
Knock on an Hour or Two.
Twenty-Five bricklayers, the entire
force engaged on the walls of the new
Police Headquarters building, quit work
at ten o'clock this morning.
Contractor Cutley and his foreman
said the trouble grew out of the discharge
Of an inferior workman. The rules of the
International Bricklayers' Union require
that a workman when discharged shall
be paid upon the spot. The discharged
workman was paid; but fellow work
man and fellow boarder of the discharged
workman interceded, and finding his in
tercession useless got mad and refused
to work till his friend should be rein
stated. Mr.. Cutley refused to pay the in
tercessor until the regular payday The
intercessor's name was William Herbert.
Herbert went around among the men,
and shortly after the entire force left
work.
Contractor Cutley declares that these
men left their work because the first story
OF the building was nearly completed and
many of them knew they would be laid
Oft within few hours. The foreman,
although risking fine of $50 by the
union, sides with Mr.. Cutley, because he
does not regard the strike as a legal one.
The strikers were all found in a body
shortly afterward. ''There is no troubie,h y
said the spokesman. We're all going
back to work this afternoon. There
wasn't enough just at the time to keep
us going. You see they are putting in
the beams for the second floor. So we
thought we'd knock off for few hours.

Court yesterday of abstracting letters

Goodman stole, and when he was arrested
they were found on his person. He was
defended by ex-Judge Garretson and ex-
Assistant District Attorney William

Green charged that the test was whether
the accused was conscious at the time of

letter to satisfy the jury beyond reason

EGG HARBoR CITY, May 9, ls90--At
the regular mseting of Common Council
last night the license fee was raised from
800 to $3.50 for hotels and $500 for saloons.
Very few of the saloon keepers of this
place are able to pay this sum, and the
action of Council has caused considerable
excitement in these quarters. Egg Har-
Dor City at present has seventeen
saloons with a population not ex-
ceeding fifteen hundred, and
Council was compelled to raise the Ii
cense fee in order to check the new sa-
looms and cut down some of the old ones.
All the applications for license were
granted. but IL is believed that not one
half of the saloon keepers will pay the
stipulated sum and take out q license.
