The Carpenters and Joiners' Union
issued the following notice February 20.
bearing the official seal of the United
brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners,
to all the builders and contractors of
the city:
DEAR SIR: You arc hereby notified
that on and after May l, 1891. Union
49S~ Carpenters and Joiners' of America)
Will demand nine hours as q DAVIS
work at Il minimum price of 81. SO per
day. Please make your estimates ac-
cordingly.
BY order of Union 40s.
G. h. ELLIS, Rec. Sec.
Attic meeting of the Contractors and
Builders Association, last light the de-
nan were discussed but no definite
action taken. 1t is probable the notice
will not be officially recognized. The
sentiment of the meeting seemed to be
in favor of the increase Of wages per
day but against the decrease of hours.
One contractor said that before he
would accede to the demands. he would
send to North Carolina and get a car
load of mechanics.
Mr.. ~. L. GLADDEN. was interviewed
about this matter. He was not opposed
to paying $3.50 per day, and thought
'hot VIC lHCEciSc WOulu nave q
to bring Il better class of mechanics to
the city and lessen the chances of MANY
inferior workmcn for constant employ
ment.
The accession of the demand as to
wages would not, he thought. materially
Affect the contractors, for they would
still have the privilege of going else
where to employ men worth So. so.
Mr.. GLADDEN. was against tho nino
hour demand. He thought tina it would
be impossible to enforce such u rcgula-
tion i'll only one trade.
Mr.. GLADDEN. was Of tho opinion that
this movement on tho part of tho car
p%enters would have Il tendency to check
the plans for building until after tho
matter is finally settled.
President Shockcy coincidcd with Mr..
GLADDEN..
Tho Contractors and Builders Asso-
citation is only two weeks old, and is not
yet thoroughly organized.
There are % about twenty NOM
bers, and tho matter of changing tho
name to tho Builders Exchange and
taking III manufacturers of building
material is under consideration.
The Carpenters and Joincrs' Union is
nearly a year old and has over 100
members. 1t is said that at least 100
moro will join in the next few weeks.

THE HOSPITAL MEETING.
The Bylaws Adopted-Interesting Side
Discussions.

At the stockholders meeting of tho
Roanoke Hospital Association yestcr-
day afternoon there were present Presi-
dent Il. T. Fishburne, Secretary d. S.
Meadows, Judge Robertson, Postmaster
Asbcrry, Capt. Il. X. Rice, Col. a. Pope,
General Manager Sands, of the Norfolk
and Western, and Capt. j. Allen Watts.
President Fishburne called the moot
ing to order and it was ascertained that
n majority of the stock was present
either in person or by proxy.
Captain Watts, of tho committee on
by laws, reported the bylaws, the points
OF interest OF which were recently pub
llshed in THE TIMES. On motion of
Colonel Pope the report was unani-
mously adopted.
There being no other business before
the stockholders meeting, it adjourned.
1t was intended to have a meeting of
he board of directors, but there was
no quorum, and a meeting was appointed
Tor Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
While a number Of gentlemen we're
waiting for the arrival of a quorum the
conversation naturally turned upon hos
pltal matters. Discussing the location
of the institution Postmaster Asberry
suggested that a good elevated site
should be secured, and that bids by the
land companies be advertised for, for
the purchase of from three to five acres
OF land. The public and the land com
panics should be informed OF the fact
that tho hospital is not to be a pest
house filled with contagious and infec-
tuOuS diseases.
That's a good idea broke in Presi-
dent Fisburhne. president Kimball,
of the Norfolk and Western railroad,
has promised to put 4 substantial stone
wall, like that around Hotel Roanoke,
around the building if a suitable site is
secured" Col. Pope suggested that
plans be prepared for an extensive and
substantial building with all the modern
conveniences, and that the plans be made
so that the building can be built accord
ing to the present needs and funds and
added TO later without destroying the
symmetry of the building.

Mr.. p. L.. Terry has returned from
Pennsylvania, where he attended the
first annual sale of Holstcin-Frie-
sian cattle, from the famous herd of
William M. Singerly, proprietor of the
Philadelphia Record. The sale took
place at the "Home Farm of Mr.. Sin
gerly, Gwynedd township, Montgomery
county. The bidding was spirited and
1872 head were disposed of at an aggre-
gate of S1O,O 55.
Mr.. Terry was tho heaviest individual
bidder, becoming the owner of twenty
five head of fine registered stock, which
gives him at the start ono of the finest
herds of thoroughbred Holstein stock in
the South. He has always been partial
to this breed, but up to this time has
possessed only graded Holstcins, though
of carefully selected stock.
His purchases will represent a gross
outlay of about 81 1000, delivered at the
Huff farm, where will keep them.
Mr.. Terry vas seen at his residence
added to the above facts considerable
information.
These CATTLE" said he, "arc prob
ably the finest hord in America. Mr..
Singcrly makes a hobby of Holstein cat
tie and his herd Of $50 COWS will average
five gallons of milk n day. This is done
by keeping them up and feeding them
highly. My purchases consist of one
young bull, six cows, six heifcrs, which
will como in next fall, and six which will
come in the following spring.
They should arrive here on Wedncs-
day and will be taken at once to the
IInH net no.an, +1A tDu l.lI
have new barns built for them. NV
reason for buying so much young stock
was Lat they would probably adapt
themselves better to the change of eli
mate and the wider range which they
will have here.
L give you an idea of the character
of tho stock | will give you the records
of some of them. The bull, Jonathan S,
is fifteen months old, and traces back
to an ancestry of COWS which averaged
over 10000 pounds of milk each q year.
All of these animals have the we'll
known Holstein markings of broad
patches and bands of black and white.
This bull was bred by Mr.. Singerly.
and for five years has averaged IL, 100
pounds of milk a year. She won the
first prize at the Pennsylvania State
fair in 1885 as the best COW in all
classes.
Stink, an imported COW, bred by S.
Duin, of North Holland, has q record
as Il four-ycar-old of 11,O44 pounds of
milk a ear, and so the herd runs. They
are fine animals and good judges said
that got the pick of tho herd. The
prices were low"
Mr.. Terry is anxious to got his stock
here and housed, as he intends to start
on his annual trip to Florida this week.

Company. in speaking of paving the
streets of Roanoke, said: In st. Paul,
