Brick-Layers' Maintain Neutrality.

The striking iron-molders have recently
made vigorous effort to gain assistance
from the journeymen brick-layers. An at
tempt was made to have the brck-layers re-
fuse to work upon buildings where iron and
castings are turned out by the struck found
ries. The journeymen were asked to use
their influence with the master masons, but
tue latter refused to take any ton in the
matter. At meeting of the Brick-layers'
Union last night representatives trIm the
Manufacturers ana MachniStS' Association

ted and heard in reference to the matter
Arguments were made on both sides, but
the union decided to take no definite action

AMONG THE TOILERS.
A Boycott Levied to Assist the
Box Makers.

The Executive Committee Of the Council
Of Federated Trades resolved yesterday to
declare boycott against the San Francisco
Box Factory. This may be considered the
beginning of a war between labor organza-
tons and the Box Manufacturers ASsocla-
ton.
The Box Sawyers' and Nailers' Union
has been preparing for the fray for some
time. What the union asked of the manu-
facturers was that they unionZe their
shops and that its members work nine hours
a day at the same rate paid for ten hours.
All negotiations to settle the matter annie
ably failed. and finally the propretors OF
the San Francisco factory refused to hold
any further conferences with committees.
1t is expected that the alliance between the
trades federation and the Retail GrocerS
Protective Association will be of consider
able assistance to the bOX-makers in carry
ing on their fight for less hours.

A HAPPY NUMBER.

In the midst of the universal talent the
soprano solo of Miss Kittie Black, very
pretty young lady with typical Irish face
and eyes. deserves especial praise. The
duet by Mrs. 0'Connell and Mr.. Valerga
was we'll rendered, as was also Miss Craw-
ford's solo. Mr.. Hynes' comic solo was
thrice encored, and his laughing song con-
vulsed the entire audience. The most pleas

ances on the violin and piano by the Misses
Beasev, four charming little white-robed
fairies, whose ages ranged apparently from
5 to II years. Their rendition of the varf-
GUS numbers accredited 10 them was partic-

THE GRAFTON.

IHE OKaIION'
Jeremiah Deasy officiated as Chairman,
and after few well.chOsen remarks, intro
duced Colonel John O'Byrne, the orator oil the
evening. After a rapid review of Ireland's
political history during the past two CEN
turtles, Colonel O'Byrne referred to tue state
ment frequently made that the soul of En-
met had departed from the minds and MEM
cries of his cOuntrymen, and said that the
best refutatlon of that caumny was the
magnificent audience assembled to celebrate
the 18th anniversary OF the great patriots
birth. Such SANDER was a reflection on
the Irish character, nationality and religion,
Tor although the immortal Emmett was not
of the same creed as the majority vi the
Irish people, they loved him and cherished
his memory for his goodness, his devotion,
his patriotism and his personal sacrifice.
Emmers services in behalf of his country
were then recalled, and many incidents OF
his life and traits of his character related.
The glory of his labors, his lite and his
DEATH" said the orator. 'is a crown which
the reverence OF his cOuntrymen placed upon
his memory, lasting as long as time itself"
PARNELL EULoGIZED.
Colonel OByrne Incidentally mentioned
the participants in the Fenian raid of 1866,
some of whom were on the platform and
whom he eulogiZed, and then proceeded to a
discussion of the present status of the Irish
question. Amid applause from portion of
the audience he warmly ind0rsed Parnell,
wDOm ne Slyfu the great Tribune OIL the
Irish people. He said they were neither
censors of morals nor of religion, and it was
national duty to apply balm to the
wounds of the party in the same lofty spirit
of patriotism as that in which they had as
sembled. His mention of the names of Nc
earthly and Dillon was also greeted with
cheers. LII conclusion, Colonel O'Byrne
said there was no cause for depression or
Encouragement. The Irish people were re-
solved to possess their own again, untram.

tory would reward their labors
The musical portion of the programme
was then commenced, and was much en-
joyed. A number of beautiful bouquets
had been provided for the singers and in
strumental performers, and each one re-
ceiyed handsome floral tribute of the ap-
nrpciatinn of the Audience.

A Relic of Rarharism.

Judge Arnold, of Philadelphia has
given a vigorous expression OF opin-
ion regarding the manner of swear
ing witnesses. which may work
complete revolution in the courts in
that particular. A stylish young
woman who had been sworn in and
had partially given her testimony
when one OF the jurors objected on
the ground that she had not kissed
the Bible. Alter breezy discussion
between counsel Judge Arnold cut
the matter short by ordering the wit
ness to be sworn by the uplifted hand

it is abolished the better it will be. l
don't think this witness objected to
kissing the book because she intend
ed to lie, but because it is dirty

son and her health"
The witness was Miss Marion Tay-
lor, an instructress in Professor
Stores artistic ladies' tailoring and
dressmaking parlors," who was a
witness for the defense in prosecution
on the charge of conspiracy and false
pretenses brought by number of
the professor pupils, who claimed
that they had been swindled by him
The subsequent witnesses were sworn
by the uplifted hand. At first the
Jury was unable to agree, but they
finally came in with a verdict of ac-
quittal,
After the trial Judge Arnold was
asked what he meant by kissing the
Bible being a relic OF idolatry that

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
81 find an impression throughout
the East" said man from Salt
Lake City, Utah, last night, at one
OF the hotels, "that the Mormons
have altogether abandoned polyg-
amy, and that they live up to the
laws strictly. This is not so. While
there isn't so much polygamy as
there was before the Government
took stringent measures to suppress
it, nevertheless there is enough of it
to offend a man who lives in Utah
for any length OF time. Polygamy
is still practiced, and the proof of it
may be obtained in the courts.
Every term of Court there are a
number of Mormons arraigned for
practicing polygamy, and the num-
Der does not decrease with time
either. They are all heavily fined,
but curiously enough, the Judge is
rarely able to obtain from them a
promise that they will not offend
against the laws. 1t will be many
years before polyoamy is wholly
suppressed in our Territory"
