A STRIKE YESTERDAY
Among tho Mon Erecting the Elec-
trio Light Poles for tho City.
A THIRD OF THE MEN STOP WORK
Alleging unfair Treatment by tho
E0ss..-A Demand for M Hours pay
allowed after some Disputc.--Tlic
Story Of tho Stgi'icrs...Othcr Men
Better Paid.

Yesterday morning six OF tho cigh-
teen or nineteen men employed by the
contractors who arc erecting the city
electric light poles quit work, having
struck for m advance OF twenty-five
cents n day, or from 81 10 to s. day.
The six strikers ullcge that they arc the
only Wheeling men employed on the
work, all the others being from tho
country, and hat tho country men
we're all paid 81 day, while the Wheel.
ing men got but$l IS. They say further
that when they were recently compelled
to quit m hour earlier than the usual
time these six mon wcro locked for that
hour, while all the rest wcre paid for 4
full day. Yesterday they demanded OF
Mr.. Bleco, the boss Of the work Tor the
Fort Wayne Electric company, that he
pay them for that hours work, and
thoy say that his reply was to go to
HI and get it," but when they told
him they would sue him if it was
not paid, he gave it to them. They COM
plain that 4 man from the country,
named Bonncrs, who was putt to boss the
gang in which they worked, was very
abusive, c~ursing and swearing ut hismcn
as il they were cattle. It is a TACT that
has been commented On by tho citizens
that ut least one OF the mcn bossing the
erection OF the poles has been SO abusive
to the men working under him as topro-
yoke the anger Of DISTINGUISHED passcrs-
by. The strikers are OF the opinion that
for some reason there is II deliberate
plan to give ull Wheeling men employ
cd Oh the work the worst Of it. What
the outcome will be cannot even be
guessed. A reporter tried TO find Mr..
Blcco, but he wasout on the work some
where. The progress OF planting the
poles was somewhat retarded yesterday
BY the strike.

Base Ball.

Hot srR1Scs, May %, 1891.
The citizens Of Hot Springs at an
impromptu meeting held at the pavll-
ion tonight discussed the advisability
Of the formation of base ball associ-
alton and club. AS everv man present
seemed to be a baseball crank, the
idea was crystalized by the election of
Col. Thornby as chairman and A. s.
Fielding as secretary.
A motion to organize base ball
association carried with shout, and
the following officers were elected:
Fred 4. Evans, Jr., Prest.
E. j. Moore, Vice Prest.
A. S. Fielding, Secretary.
James Hamilton, Treasurer.
On motion the chairman then APP.
pointed Mr.. Moseley, Mr.. Lyneman
and MIR. j. w. Jones an executive
committee; and as committee to So
lic,t subscriptions of stock, to look af-
ter the securing of players, grounds,
ETC., E. j. Moore, r. F. Connor and
James Noodle were named.
The meeting then adjourned to con.
vene Thursday night next at pavilion.
Appolntees will please act without
further notice. A. S. FIELDING, ,Sec'y.

Almost a Conflagration.

About six o'clock last evening, just
as everybody was quitting work,
the alarm of fire was cried through
the streets. The alarm was promptly
responded by everyone within hearing.
The smoke was pouring out of the
roof Of Judge Dudley's new hotel
building opposite the depot. The fire
was confined to the connecting roof be-
tween the north end and middle section
of the building. The two water
wagons happened to be close at hand
and with their timely help and the
profuse use Of hand grenades the fire
was soon subdued. The citizens un.
organized as they are hero;cally re-
responded and willing and ready
hands were there to do their ut
most. At one time the there seemed
to be no hope Of saving the building.
but as no air could get to the fire and
as it was sheltered from tho slight
breeze blowing the workers got control
of it. There is no known origin of
the fire as the building has just been
built and rs not finished, or occupied by
any one. This incident shows the ma.
terial we have amongst us out Of
which to organize fire company. An
organized company would not prob
ably have done any more: but hose
buckets, granades and ladders would
have been promptly on the ground
and the work done in systematic
manner. Lot us by all means organ
ize fire company. This is the sec
ond inc,pient blaze in two weeks, an6
we should heed the warning.

who have made a trip to Hot Springs,

of the place. Now that the +. E. &

There are fine hotels for those who
can afford to patronize them, and
comfortable houses for those in
moderate circumstances. There are
fine localities forthose wishing to camp
out. MIR. j. HI. Gable is talking up the
project of an excursion of Crawford
