One of the Significant Features.
GETTING INTERESTING.

Corkwork ers Still Holding Out for UnionisIn
at the Factory of Armstrong Brothers &
Co.-No Riot Took PIace-The Men Are
Quiet.
The strike of the corkworkers is an inter-
esting subject in labor circles. The locked
out employees have gained the sympathy of
the employees of other industrial establish
ments along Penn avenue, who declare they
will do all in their power to help them to win
the fight.
1t turned out yesterday that the alleged riot
of the evening previous was of no serious char
acter. A lot of glasshouse boys bought all the
horns they could find along Penn avenue and
stationed themselves at the Pittsburg end of
the Sixteenth street bridge, and when the
workers came along they hooted at them and
filled the air with the deafening
sounds from the tin instruments. No
one was hurt. and according to the
statement of the employees officials not one
no report of a riot and Mr. T. NJ. Armstrong.
when spoken to yesterday, said he knew moth
ing of it.
"The men have been very orderly" said Mr..
altogether. We only have three police on duty
for nearly LOCO employees. As for our
work. are getting along nicely. We
put 80 new people to work this morning and
1t will only be matter of few days until we
get all our old hands back. l think by the
middle of next week we will be running full"
Secretary Speidel received a letter yesterday
from one of the girls. 1t is addressed to the
assembly, and contains her side of the
s., s,,haking-up' story. The responsibility for this
trouble is laid on Mr.. Thompson. as in the
letter, he is charged with trying to adopt plan
of weighing corks by which the girls would
have been the losers. Mr.. Speidel sald he knew
there were not 80 of their men working yester
dav and is sure of yet winning.
Everything WAS quiet about the works yester
day and last night, with no signs of any diff
Guilty.
The strikers at Armstrong; cork works neces-
state the services of police officers in and
about the works and at several places some
distance away from the vicinity. Yesterday
they congreEated about the street corners and
became more or less demonstrative when the
employees who have taken their places left the
works.
Lieutenant Lewis was compelled to arrest
one man yesterday who became more obstrep-
erous than peace and good order could with
stand. The prisoner was placed in the Twelfth
ward station.
The Allegheny police have had some little
trouble the past few days by the crowds of the
strikers following boys and men who live on
that side, across the Sixteenth street bridge.
Special officers were placed there yesterday,
but no trouble occurred.

Up in Three Days.

How the Assessment Books Were Made
Up in Three Days.
The work of preparing the assessment books
for the Treasurer was big job. ana the off ce
force of the Board of Assessors broke all pre-
vlous records IN completing it. No work could
be done on 1t until after the appropriation or
dinance was passed over the Mayors veto on
Monday afternoon. Then Chief Assessor Case
placed the matter in the hands of Assistant
Assessor ]. j. Larkin, who. with Chief Clerk e.
q. jenkins, went to work with VIII. The
latter however, was struck by the grip, and
was pretty badly knocked out.
The contract a big one. There are
nearly S0,000 taxables in the city. Every
page of the assessment books had to be footed
up which necessitated the making of over 1000
footings. Sixteen clerks were put at the work.
which they completed in three days of 10
hours each, in which time they turned out 80
bulky volumes of cures. The Thirteenth ward
assessment book is the largest, and the clerk
who worked on it had TO hustle to get it CON-
pleted within three days.

WHO'LL GET THE $50 BILL?



The large sugar Easter egg in Kaufmanns'
corner window is attracting much attention,
and all because within it is a new $50 bill
just sent from Washington, and this $50
bill Is to be presented to the boy who is the
first to guess It's number. The second boy to
guess it gets $40, the third gets SIS, and the
fourth gets the grand egg If no correct
guesses are made, the four nearest correct
guessers will get the prizes Thus four boys
are bound to "get there" Now what
is the number on this $50 bill?
1t is somewhere between 1 and $4,000. We
can't tell any more, because We don't know
it ourselves. as we haven't opened the en-
velope yet in which the $50 bill was sent
from Washington. At 9 o'clock tomorrow
night the envelope will be publicly opened,
and the names of the four winners an
nouDced in next Sundays Dispatch and
