MEDIA, May 6-This morning the case Of
James E. Wood against Ivy A Quick, which
was partly heard yesterday, came up again be-
fore Judge Clayton for decision on ruling OF
the Master, C. B. Dickinson. Young Wood,
who lives in Pittsburg. had filed bill in equity
to annul marriage with Miss Quick, which,
the defendant claimed, took place in
March, 1883, at the residence, in Ches-
ter county, of U. s. Croft, a layman,
who performed the ceremony himself
At the hearing before the Master on Saturday
last in Philadelphia the plaintiff, by his attor-
ney, calico the defendant as in cross-examfna-
tion upon her answer to the bill. r. Jones
Monaghan, who represented Miss Quick, stren-
uously objected to her taking the stand under
such circumstances, and instructed her to re-
fuse to testify or even To be sworn. Mr.. Dick
inson decided in favor of the position taken by
MIR. johnson, but as he had no power to compel
Miss Quick to testify, the matter was reported
to the Judge.
His Honor said he knew of no authority
sanctioning the position taken by the plantln's
counsel before the master, and there was every
reason why il should not be sustained. He
ruled that the defendant could not be called
by the plaintiff as in cross-examlnation upon
her answer to the bill In equity, but that the
master. in his discretion, might require her to
testify at any time when called by the plaintiff
to make out his case. This ruling reverses the
decision of the master at the hearing on Satur-
day last ~.

ScoTTDALE, May 6.-The funeral OF
John Mohow, the Slav killed at Leisenring
Sunday night, took place here at 3 o'clock
this afternoon. The corpse was brought over
land by foot, followed BY several hundred
miners. When they arrived here they were
dusty and very much worn. The funeral
services were held in the Polish Catholic
Church, conducted by Father SEmegiel. He
made no reference 10 the strike, nor the
cause of the shooting, fearing the men might
become uuduly excited. After the inter-
ment most of the men returned to their
homes afoot as they came.
Strikers are becoming terribly excited at
the West Overton plant of the A. c. Over
holt Company, over the company's levyIng
on their goods for rent under the landlords
lease warrant. This is taking a new turn
on the men. Never in the history OF strike
have their household goods been sold from
;hem. the companies always being glad enough
TO get shut of them with as little trouble as
possible The action is likely TO cause new
troubles.
The Mcclure Company served Today eviction
notices on al! their employees at the Bessemer
Rising Sun plants to-day. They say the works
will not start for some time yet, but they
want their houses empty so they will be
ready when wanted for new men. The em-
ployes are terribly wrought up over the CON-
pany's action.
More sew men continue to arrive in the re-
zion. The Frick Company received three train
loads of 200 Italians this evening. Most OF
them have their families with them. The labor
leaders are actively after the Italians, and
claim to have induced over Gu to leave the re-
gion to-day.
Coke shipments in the region continue to In
crease. The shipments al the railroad offices
Tor the ws.k ending Saturday show total OF
l. S2i cars sn increase OF 212 cars over the week
previous. The estimated gain this week Will
reach about 400 cars over last week. The Frick
COmpany's shipments to-day amounted to l78
cars, the highest number reached any day
since the resumption. The shipments OF the
Mcclure Company have gained proportion
ately.
Notice has been received at labor headquar-
ters that Superintendent Martin, who has been
running the Fairchance plant at last years

A Careless Teacher of Department.

PoI1teness, to beworth any thing, must
be instructive. 1t is a good scheme to
instruct youth in the outward signs of
this inward grace, even though it hath
it not, but the teacher should also prac-
tee what he breaches, or discredit falls
on-him and his instruction. A certain
professor in popular school has been
very strenuous in enforcing certain
manners" on his classes, and very prop
erly insists that the little boys should
take off their hats whenever they meet
any person they know, and also give up
their seats in crowded street car to la
dies who are standing. Some of the
small boys questioned the latter neces-
sity, but when informed that a gentle
man, unless he was a cripple, would
never sit while woman stood, accepted
the edict as final and have doubtless
acted on it. But some of these pupils
have recently credited their professor
with insincerity, for they have seen him
retain his sea. in a crowded public con-
veyance, and, furthermore, he barely re-
turns with touch of his hat rim the
courteous recognition of the young girls
in his classes

SILK Umbrellas Common
New York Continent.]

me manufacture and consumption Of
silk umbrellas is steadily on the increase
in this country. To see a cotton UNI
brella in use in the large cities is about
as rare an occurrence now as the sight
of silk umbrella was thirty years ago.
The rapidly increasing wealth of the
country, together with the great reduc-
ton in the cost of silk fabrics, are the
main causes which have effected this
change.
While the majority of the silk umbrel-
las in use are made of a texture of silk
and cotton, the increase is in the con-
sumption not only of all silk umbrellas.
but also of the very highest and finest
grades.
One of the umbrella manufacturers of
this city says he believes that the day is
not far distant when a well dressed
American will not be seen on the street
with cheap, shabby or clumsy UNI
breila, but will deem fine, close roll
ing, natty one as much a personal reoui-
site as good looking hat or coat
