AMERICANS OPPOSE IT.

The Foreign Bricklayers Voted for aeon.
tinuance of the Strike.
When the bricklayers met three weeks
ago last night they took a vote which was
both instructive and interesting. The vote
was on the question as to whether the strike
should be declared off or not. Itwas finally
decided by q majority vote to continue
the strike. The interesting part of the
matter is that the American members of the
craft voted to a man to declare the strike
off, while the foreigners were unanimous in
continuing it.
Continued it is.
Bricklayers are still arriving from out
side points. Five came from Cleveland yes
terday and five more from PHILADELPHIA.
Others additional are expected to arrive from
the Quaker City during next week. The
action of members of the Journeymen
Bricklayers' Association, of PHILADELPHIA,
in coming here to take the places of strik-
ing members of their craft is considerably
exercising the leaders, who all along have
maintained a neutral position. Resolutions
we're passed by the body taking neutral
ground, but the spirit of these has been dis
regarded.
At the regular Monday meeting the
entire session was occupied in discussing
the question, and it was at length decided
to send committee to this city to request
the men to come back. A motion to 'black
list" these men was not sustained. Presi-
dent Campbell was not successful in in
ducing the men to return. They took the
ground that the association had no jurisdic-
tion over their individual actions. As far
as the master bricklavers are concerned, the
strike is over, since they declare they have
all the men they want.

A s0UTHsIDE JEwELER KILLED
In the Terrible Railroad Disaster Neal
Statesville, North Carolina.

In the Terrible Railroad Disaster Near
statesville, North Carolina.
1t was learned with much regret by South
side people generally yesterday that the
Charles 6. Weber killed in the Statesville,
n. c., railroad wreck was the well-known
jeweler of Carson and South Thirteenth
streets. A telegram was received last
evening by his wife, stating that her hus-
band was the man killed John Weber and
A. x. Duff, Mrs. Weber's brother, started
Immediately for North Carolina Mr..
Weber had for some time been suffering
with Bright's disease, and had been under
various forms of treatment. He learned a
few weeks ago of physician in New York
City who could cure his illness, and two
weeks ago started with his wife to visit
him. He left his wife at Atlantic City
and went to New York. The physician
advised him to 60 South for his health, and
he was on his way there Mrs. Weber re-
turned to this city from the East and did
not accompany her husband South.
Mr.. Weber was one of the best-known
and most highly respected business men on
the Southside. He was one of the oldest
jewellers in that part of the city. His
brother, Theodore, has a jewelrv store
located at Carson and South Tenth streets.
The deceased leaves three sons, John,
Charles and George, all of whom are at
home and assisted their father in his busl-
ness. Mrs. Weber and her sons receive the
most heartfelt sympathy from their friends
in their sad affliction.

NOT YET CLEARED UP.
Some Slight Discrepancies in Thomas
Condry's Alibi, but
THE POLICE THINK 1T ALL RIGHT.
An Engineers Disagreeable Experience
Down in Sewer.
WHAT Is HAPPENING IN THE TWO CITIES

The case of Thomas Condry, alias Eggie
Conroy, charged with being connected with
the Rudert murder, is still exciting consid-
cradle interest His claims to an alibi are
pretty generally believed. THE DISPATCH
correspondent at youngstown was wired to
investigate the story that he had been in
the penitentiary at Columbus at the time of
the murder. The following answer came:
Eggie Conroy, arrested at Pittsburg
charged with murder and robbery at Taren-
tum, Pa, it is claimed. is James Mack, who
was arrested here in September. 1889, for
burglarizing the residence of W. S. Doug
lass. By the advice OF counse, Mack pleaded
guilty, and was sent to the penitentiary for
two years. He was released some time ago,
having gained considerable time by good
behavior.
This does not entirely correspond with
Conroy's story, which is to the effe ct that
he was committed to the penitentiary in
March, 1889. and was released January 8,
1890. The police will make further in
vestigation of the matter.
Inspector McAleese said yesterday: clam
inclined 10 believe Condry's statement. He
gives facts and figures in straightforward
manner. 1 believe he is shrewd enough to
know that 1t would be useless to make such
a claim if it were not true, since we can OBJ
tain the truth with regard to it so easily.
OF course it is possible that Mack was
another individual and Condry, being
familiar with the time he served proposes
to claim he was the man and thus escape.
However we will know the facts before
long"
''Curly" Condry, a cousin of Thomas,
was arrested yesterday and locked up in the
Central station. 1t was thought at first he
knew the facts of the Tarentum murder.
"Curly" told long story about knowing
the whereabouts of Griffin, whom he said
was the man who shot Mrs. Rudert. In
spector McAleese, after talking to the man
a few moments. came to the conclusion that
Condry was slightly unbalanced. He ac-
cordingly released him, and gave him dol
lar to buy some food, Of which he was badly
in need.

A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE

Breaks Out in the Rooms of the Curry Uni.
versity for the Third Time.
A small blaze broke out in the rooms OF
Curry University, Sixth street, last night,
and an alarm was turned in. Before the
engines arrived the fire was extinguished.
The origin is not known and there is con-
siderable mystery about the matter. Dur
ing the past few months three fires, SIM
liar to the one last night, have broken out
in the same place.
Neither fire nor lights are kept burning
in the rooms at night from which blaze
could start. Chief Evans says it is just the
location for disastrous fire, and thinks the
matter should be investigated by the un-
derwriters. Captain Silvis expressed him
self in similar terms.

POISON IN A SEWER
City Engineer Wakefield Has q Decidedly
DisapreeabIe Experfeuce,


DisagreeabIe Experience.
J. W. Wakefield, one of the Assistant
City Engineers, was badly poisoned on
Thursday last while engaged in one of the
unpleasant duties connected with the work
of the Department of Public Works. In
company with City Engineer Brown and a
corps of surveyors, Mr.. Wakefield was
making survey in the big 6-foot sewer,
which runs from Second avenue to the
gully above Fifth avenue, to secure the
proper grade for the continuation of the
sewer to be built up to Center avenue. The
sewer was running about foot deep with
waste water and filth and the men all wore
long gum boots, but they stepped into sew
era1 deep holes over boot tops.
When they had finished the work Mr..
Wakefield, on removing his boots, was sur
prised to find his feet and ankles badly
swollen and infamed. He has decided that
he has absorbed some poison from the nasty
water that filled his boots and is now under
a physician's care, being unable to wear
either boots or shoes. -,
