MORE TROUBLE IN SHARON.

A Newly Elected American Mechanic Who
Cannot Be Initiated-Only One Term OF
Triple Motto Will Be Accepted by an
Older Member.
There is more trouble in Sharon, but this
time it is not in the church nor in an I. O.
o. F. lodge. 1t is related of Scotch
divine that he said it was very necessary for
a Scotchman to be right, for if he got wrong
it took an undue quantity of the grace of
God to set him straight again. So Scotch
divines have held to the doctrine of final
perseverance quite safely, for if they got
the flock in the narrow way it could not be
chased out of it without much effort.
1t seems that Sharon, in this county, has
been baptized with double portion of the
perseverance spirit; for after "a years of
profound peace it has suddenly become the
prey of intestine commotion, which threat
ems to be long-lived, also. Several out
breaks have been noted lately in the church
and in an Odd Fellows lodge. Now an
other order is in more or less perplexity
over the fact that two of its officials cannot
see eye to eye.
The story, as related, is that Robert B.
McElravy was elected an officer in the
Junior o. U. A. NJ. Council, and the duty
of initiating him fell on s. S. Jordan. 1t is
said they have not been on very good
terms for year or two, and on the
night in question Jordan, after pondering
in the motto of the order, "Virtue, Liberty
and Independence" came to the conclusion
that only the latter term suited the occa-
sion, and refused to perform the Office He
was demonstrated with, but to no effect, and
resolutely refused to administer the unc-
tion.
The lodge is in trouble, not knowing
whether Brother Jordan can be induced to
relent, or whether an officer of the grade nee
essary must be borrowed from some other
council

mittee. He claimed it was an attempt to
throttle the voice of the people, and was an
indication that Robinson knew his weak
ness.
Messrs. Keech and English declared that
the Executive Committee had no right to
take such action. The admission of clubs
was governed by League rules, and if they
were complied with no objections could be
urged. Joseph Andrews offered 15-page
amendment, which the Chairman called an
essay on political economy. This created
q laugh. 1t was highly eulogistic of Dal-
zell, and discussed 10 some extent the by

The Robinson people were jubilant over
the passage of the resolutions indorsing the
Executive Committee. AS Robinson s
hackers are in charge of the ma
chinery of the convention, they
say they will not permit a mushroom club
to be admitted. They do not deny that
they expect to see Dalzell's delegates bolt

compromise should be made before such a
result happens, as it means defeat for the

MARSHEIL,
THE CASH GROCER,
WILL SAVE YOU MONEY.

Barnum made famous the assertion
that the American people want to be
humbugged, The history of the tea
trade would indicate that Barnum' S
head was quite fiat on the upper sur
face. The fraud of selling people
tea and giving them tea sets 'for
nothing" became so glaring that the
aid of the State had to be invoked to
pass laws to save the people from
themselves. But, as our State Legis-
lators are not famous for their skill
in making laws, it was found an easy
matter to get around them.
But while many people are hum
bugged with the .'Gift" schemes, the
great mass of the people are too
shrewd not to see through them. To

BOYC0TTING DANGEROUS.

German Printers in Allegheny Get Into
Trouble Over Circular.
John E. Joos, the owner and managing
editor of the allegheny Son''tagsbote, made an
information before Alderman McNulty, OF
Allegheny, yesterday, charging Hermann
Lattien and Otto Erdlin with malicious
libel. According to the informa-
ton, the defendants are said
to be members of the German Typographical
Union No. 16, which on July % issued a
circular to all the advertisers in Mr.. Joos'
paper, asking them to support the union in
boycotting the paper because the pro-
prietor had not signed the union scale.
The same kind of a suit will be entered
against all other members of the union as
soon as Mr. Joos can collect their names.

The Struggle for an Advance in Pay Pro-

Three months have elapsed since the
bricklayers went out on a strike, but the
men are firm as rock, and say with as
much cheerfulness as they did on May l.,
that eve will stay out until the end of 81,
if necessary" Work has been commenced
again on the Anchor Bank building by
union men and the bricklayers consider this
quite victory.
H. r. Barnes, President of the Builders
Exchange, said yesterday the master brick
layers had 100000 yet to lose before the
men could win the strike.
The bricklayers are the only people now
on strike, as all the other trades, including
the electricians, have gone back to work.
All of the men in the latter trade are not
working because there has not been much to
do. There are few large jobs on hands,
however, that are unfinished, but great
many of the best workmen are out Of the
city and insist that they will not return
until the bricklayers' strike is settled and
all the trades resume work.
