It is expected that this notice will
have an immediate and important effect
on the situation in Homestead because
the company could not issue q more
solemn pledge OF its purpose to protect
the new men in their positions.
Among the lOcked-Out wOrkingmen,
one Of the reasons for their hesitancy in
returning 10 work is said TO be the fear
that II the amalgamated association
wins the fight they will be made to suf-
fer the vengeance Of the successful
union. Secretary LovejoY expects that
the notification will cause break in
the solid ranks Of the opposition upon
its publication.

A Story That O'DOnnen Arranged For
the Assassination of Chairman Frick.
PIrTsBURG, July pa story has
been in circulation connecting Hugh
O'Donnel's mission to New York with
the attempted assassination Of Frick.
When O'Donnell returned he stated
that his mission had been successful,
and that the developments OF the next
few days would settle the strike. The
story receives no credence, however, as
Mr.. O'Donnell is not regarded as the
kind of man that would countenance
an act such as Burgman's.

The Queer and Disagree
able Experience of Drug
gist L. R. Wright.

Mr.. L. r. Wright, a druggist, whose
store is at Forrest street and jackson
avenue, has complained to Captain Nc
Kaig of the Fourth Precinct that some
crank is sending anonymous letters to
wholesale drug firms in New York City
stating that he (Wright) was on the verge
of bankruptcy.
A few weeks ago the wholesale drug
house of w. H. Scheiffiein q Co., of VII.
liams street, New York, received one OF
these letters. The firm notified Mr..
Wright about the matter at once.
Mr.. Wright secured the let
ter aud was amazed to
find that it charged him with owing
nearly S15,0 900 to parties in this city. The
writer claimed to have in his possession
facts that would prove that Wright was
in arrears for his reut and that he was
continually borrowing money to carry on
his business.
The letter is written in a large, bold
hand, but Mr.. Wright is unable to iden-
tify the handwriting Mr.. Wright being
somewhat timid at once became alarmed
at what he believes is an attempt
to ruin his business. To make
matters worse he received word few
days ago that the Ellinger Cigar Com
pany of New York had received similar
letter. He secured this letter and found
that it was identical with the one Scheitf-
lein & Co. had received.
LETTER NO. 2.
A day later he received another letter
pos tnarked Plaintied, n. j., where his
father lives, ard where he was born ard
raised. 1t was from the same writer.
The letter warned Mr.. Wright against
enemies. 1t stated thnt he was
the victim of a conspiracy to
ruin his business and reputation. and
that many men whom he believed were
friends were in reality his enemies aud
were working secretly to accomplish his
ruin. The letter mentioned several
names among them Mr.. Will Sterritt of
Forrest street. who is one of Mr.. Wrights
warmest friends.
When Mr.. Sterritt was informed about
the matter he laughed about it and said
some jealous crank. The other
young men whose names were men
toned were of the same belief as
Mr.. Sterrltt, but when q second
letter came bearing Paterson post mark
they became indignant and demanded an
investigation.
Mr.. Wright, at their suggestion. re
ported the matter t. the police aud turned
ali the letters over to his counsel. Judge
Puster.
POST OFFICE HELP.
Mr.. Puster visited Postmaster Dickin-
son so that the Post Office could take up
the matter. The young men whose
names are mentioned in the letter are all
members of the same lodge Of the Royal
Arcanum that MIR. Wright is member of,
and fearing that their brother members
would break down under the strain, in
voked the aid of other members, and en-
poyed detective to unravel the mystery.
The detective has not as yet made any
head way, but Mr.. Wright said yesterday
that a clue Is being followed which
might lead to something tangible.
Mr.. Wright is very popular and has
scores of friends. Words of sympathy are
heard on all sides.
Mr. Wright is prominent member of
the West Side NJ. K. Church and is a
leader in all the charitable movements
that originate ia the church.

LOCAL RETAIL PRICES.
Nut Coal to Re Advanced by the
June Circular-COnsumers
Buy Heavily.

The June circular of coal prices from
the Lehigh combine did not reach the re-
tail dealers of this city yesterday. 1t
was looked for by the retail dealers with
mere than ordinary interest. In May the
wholesale pricos were advanced almost
thirty-five cents a ton all around over the
prices of the corresponding month of the
year previous. Nobody knew what he
June circular might do.
THE local dealers have been afraid to
increase the retail price at this season of
the year. Consumers are evidently
afraid that they may pluck up courage to
do SO in the near future, and have been
laying in supplies. A talk with several
large dealers yesterday Afternoon showed
that the May sales were almost three
times as big as they usually are.
One dealer said to a reporter of the JER-
sEY CITY NEWS yesterday aftprnoon:-
"From reliable private source | have
learned that the June circular will show
no increase in the wholesale price of coal
except SO far as nut coal Is concerned.
The circular, | understand, will show
that the wholesale price of nut coal has
been advanced fifteen cents ton. l am
a little hit surprised at this. The combine
has brought the price of nut coal I'D to
the figures charged for egg and stove
coal 1t is only used in self feeding
stoves, consequently the demand for it
is not general. But I suppose
the combine does not deem it judicious t.
add to the prices of coal in general de-
mand at this season of the year. The
hudson County Coal Dealers Association
will meet next Monday night, and the
principal subject of discussion will be as
to whether or not we oRn afford to stand
another months strain under the May
advance in wholesale prices without cor
respondinglY increasing the retail price"

WANSER'S LATEST.
Street and Water Commits
sioners' Pay Apparently
Stopped.
GALVANIZED CHESTNUT5.
A New Tickler Going Over Alleged
Illegal Payments Of the
Cleveland Regime.

Mayor Wanser this morning issued ans
other communication to the Board of
Street and Water Commissioners. The
subject matter refers to proceedings
which took place before he was elected
Mayor.
The attack is based upon the fact that
S4,732 was paid to Patrick Connolly for
piling at the Hackensack River. There
is no trace of any contract existing, and
His Honor questions the legality of the
proceeding He next cites batch Of war
rants ordered paid to Patrick O'Connor
agg egating S1.S72.50. At one meeting
$747. so was paid to O'Connor, and at an-
other 81, ,125, each being in excess of $500.
which is the limit prescribed by law to
be paid when no contract exists,
LONG SEWER CONNECTION.
His Honor next cites School No. "a. It
appears S., 752 so was paid at various
times and in sums ranging from S337 to
S415 for connecting the building wi1h
the sewer. His Honor states that he Is
sorry to trouble the Commissioners with
such old matters, but he maintains that
the matters are not so old as the law gov
erning payments for claims where no
contract exists.
Fhe Mayor in conclusion asked that the
Commissioners give an explanation if
they desire, how much the work
cited would have cost if done
by contract, He then accuses
the Board of extravaganza, and
charges them with being too free with
the city's money and neglectful of its
interest.
TAX CLERKS HAPPY.
After seeing to it that the message was
delivered before one o'clock. His Honor
permitted Clerk Connolly to enter
and explain what the clerks In the
Tax Commission ers' office had to do.
Notwithstanding the many statements by
His Honor that this pay roll would have
to be reduced it was signed
The pay roll amounts 10
81, $50. A small batch of claims
however was not signed. His Honor re-
quested that he see the bills for each
claim. This request was complied with
and the claims will probably be signed
this = fternoon.
NO PAY FOR COMMISSIONERS.
The resolution book of the Board OF
Street and Water Commissioners. in
which had been engrossed the
proceedings of last Tuesday s
meeting, was carefully perused
by His Honor this morning. The
book was returned within an hour
after it had been delivered at the
Mayors office. The payroll of
not signed. His Honor also declined to
approve of a resolution ordering paid to
Henry Byrne 500 on account of
the improvement of Eleventh street.
The Mayor declined to sign several
resolutions ordering paid small claims.
His Honor notified Clerk Bouton that he
would give the resolutions adopted fur
ther consideration.
