The Akron Iron Company Has Signed the
Amalgamated Scale.
AKRON, August 3.-Captain A, P. Bald
win, superintendent of the Akron Iron
company, was seen yesterday in reference
to the statement that his company had
signed the scale of the Amalgamated
Association. "Well sir" said the captain,
"you may just state this: The Akron
Iron company has completed repairs,
signed the scale, and will resume work
Wednesday in the finishing end of the
mill. The puddlers will not begin work
mthis hot weather. A conference has
been arranged for between the manufac.
turers and the Amalgamated Association
which will be held at Pittsburg, August 8.
This conference will make a settlement
of all differences, then all mills running
with union men will be governed by that
statement. There is the whole thing in q
nutshell. About one hundred men will go
to work tomorrow under the old scale,
which we have signed. Should the con-
ference at Pittsburg next week change the
scale we will be governed accordingly"
The Akron mill closed down June 80,
and since then repairing has been in pro-
gress. There has been no serious con-
tention between the company and the
men.

TO an engineer who sat down on the

days ago on the Chicago division of the

once start the preliminary work and ar

chairman, but Mr.. Cole states no session

formally opened before September and

A TOUGH GANG.
Parties Who Robbed the westover Place
Under Arrest.

Parties Who Robbed the Westover Place
Under Arrest.
Yesterday afternoon when Constable
Falla, who has in charge the Westover
place at the Ft. Wayne depot for some
creditors, called there, he discovered that
some one entered the place Monday night
and secured large amount of whiskey
and tobacco and cigars amounting to a
large sum of money. He also discovered
that the putty had been removed from a
window pane in the rear of the building
and an entrance gained in this way.
On the night in question the officers
about the Ft. Wayne station saw num-
ber of buns, among whom were Charles
Affalter and Barney Low, and few
others around the platform, acting rather
suspiciously. The charge of burglarizing
the place was directly placed against
them and officers searched for them.
A telephone call came to police head
quarters last evening stating that some
hidden goods, such as cigars and whiskies
had been found in Aultman's lumber
yard. Thinking that these articles might
be OF those stolen from the Westover
place, Constable Falla went down and
identified them as belonging to
him and as having been stolen the night
before from that place. Officer Thomas
MallOy happened across young Aifalter,
took him in charge and locked him up.
About 8 o'clock last night Falla went
down to the Westover place again. He
heard some noise in the building and
going to side window discovered man
inside. The plucky constable jumped
through the hole in the window and cap
tured the man who turned out to be Bar
ney Low, desperate character known in
bum circles as milky" The man was
Sheriff Krider, who was at the station.

THE TODDY TEACUP.
Mr.. Cobb and His Alleged House jag Be-
fore the Committee.

fore the Committee.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Watson
investigation in regard to drunkenness
in the house was continued yesterday.
Mr.. Cobb, Of Georgia, made a state
ment as to his condition while speaking
in the Noyes-Rockwell debate. For
three days previous to the debate he was
engaged in exhaustive labor on the case
and had but little rest He had also had
an attack Of the grip, which affected his
throat, and he had to send for cup of
beef tea. 1t was not true that he called
for "more whisky" as stated by Mr.
Butler. There was brought to him a
little whisky and he used it as he would
have done under the hand of a physician.
He was assober as he ever was. If there
was anything unusual in his manner it
was due to anxiety and hurry. The
story of intoXication was like the story
Of the three black crows.
Mr.. Watson also made a statement,
saying he had not intended to bring
Judge Cobb into this matter personally
His charge was a general one and in
tended to reflect upon the house for per-
mitting such action. He still believed
that Judge Cobb was intoxicated.
Here there were few hot words be-
tween Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Boatner,
Mr.. Boatner saying he did not catch Mr..
Watson's drift and Mr.. Watson saying
he did not think Mr.. Boatner wanted to
catch it.
Several other witnesses testified to
Judge Cobb's sobriety.
The committee then closed the testi-
mony and a secret session was held.
There was no developments in the
secret session held by the committee.
An adjournment was taken subject to
committee would not meet again until
the testimony shall have been received
from the government printing Office
which will probably be on Thursday.
