The Standard OIL People Answer It with
q Shut Down.
Tables have been turned upon the
striking coopers and their helpers nt the
Standard Oil Company's barrel factory in
3syonne. Last night the entire factory
and cooperage works were closed by the
company for an indefinite period. Three
hundred men are thrown out Of employ
ment after they had refused to join the
hnndred strikers.
The strikers are alone responsible for
the misfortune which has befallen the
faithful men. In It's position the COM
pany is strongly intrenched. With a
large stock Of barrels on hand in the
midst of the dull season. the strike
suits the company. IL had dis
charged 200 men in the barrel factory a
few weeks ago, and quickly took advan-
tage of the chance Of closing for few
weeks.
In other parts OF the works there Is a
general stagnation of business. which has
compelled several hundred other men
to stop WORK temporarily. That the strike
is failure goes without saying. When
the barrel factory is reopened the COM
pany propose to give the men piece WORK.
No assurance that the strikers will be
taken back is given

Henry Wilson, Fice-President under

the embryo Generals family. n ..
Grant, would sound odd If written on
the pages of history. but, In fact would
be perfectly proper. The great General
was chrtstsned Hiram Ulysses Grant,
and by the name of Hiram or HI was
known TO all his school-fellows.
Hon. T. l. Harmer, an ex-memoer Of
Congress, is responsible for u. s"

The Chancellor Reads a Lot Of
Spicy Letters and Holds
Them Conclusive.

TRENTON, June II. 1s91.-Chancellor
McGill has fled a very Interesting opin-
ion in the divorce case Of Byram X
Sickle against his wife Libbie N.
Sickle. The opinion is very long, and in
it are copied several of the ninety-four
love letters upon which the divorce was
granted.
The parties in question are well
known in Morris and Essex .coun-
ties, and reside at Rockaway, Morris
county. The complainant is the
principal merchant of the town,
ana he married his wife In 1876. She is q
good looking and refined woman OF
thirty-two. The correspondent in the case
is Charles J. Fox. who was formerly post
master of Rockaway, and was deposed
because he was Republican. Sickle gave
him position as head bookkeeper in his
counting room, and he was welcome
visitor at the mouse.
his employees went home during the
absence of Mrs. Sickle, and found her
pooketbook. in which were Two letters In
Fox's handwriting, which Sickle read
aloud They were as fellows:-
Ny oscn precious and darling Lao:-
Ny darling, you ask me II miss you-yes.
indeed, do miss seeing yoIr sweet, smiling
face As told you IN my letter OF yesterday.

afraid 10 look me straight on the race Win the
same frank. yet loving look, oeeause respect
and honor you as much as though we mad rissnt
to be together. Good night. sweet dear, and
believe me always. your own darling >.
CHARLIE is DoUBLY FALSE.
Sickle and his employe went back to
the store, and held an all night consulta-
tion. and the next night Fox ana his en-
nlnver were cioseted together. The book
keener admitted that he and Mrs. Sickle
had been together. and had been cores
nondino for some time. He also admitted
fo her husband that he had kissea and
hugged her. Then his employer said
.'CharIie. YOU have betrayed me,
haven't you 7"
"Cnarlie, what would you do If You
was in my place; would you 1--we with
such a woman as that !"
II do not know what l would do II

A short time after this during Mrs.
StickIe's absence her trunk was forced
open and a bunch of ninety letters was
found. The fir date was December.
