Mo0plighr Picnic,

The most enjoyable amusements for
this time of the year have been declared,
by competent judges, to be moonlight
picnicS, and those same judges have all
agreed that West End is the place to have
them. A jolly crowd of young people,
taking the advice of the aforesaid judges,
visited the place last night
No sooner had they arrived than toats
were secured and they rowed out on the
deep, blue lake. On the waters the boys
related many tales Of daring Sea voyages
and wrecks, giving minute accounts of
adventures with the octopus and whale,
making their fair partners SILVER with
fright at the thought of them, and won
dering how their escorts could have
passed through such dangers.
With thoughts of the romantic, the re.
aities of life were not forgotten, for there
could be seen in the different boats, large
baskets filled with all the good eatables
imaginable. The solids, with the assist
anee of an abundance of ice cream, were
eaten with great relish and hearty enjoy
ment.
Those who were In attendance were:
Mrs. j. III. French and Mrs. E. R. Norton,
Misses Bessie Norton, Florence and Effie
Richardson, Franklin and Sallie.French,
Daggett, Marie Thompson, Elena Gettis,
Ella Earnest, Messrs. White Caldwell,
Dave Gettis, Chas. CreSson, Lee Earnest,
Carlos Bee, Will Wise, Milford Norton,
Moorhouse.
The picnic was given by Miss Gettis as
a CON pliment to her friends.

filled with intelligence, beauty, music and
fragrance last evening, there being about
500 of the talented society people there
the occasion being an ice cream, lemon
ade and cake social given by the Ladies
Aid society of the First Baptist church.
The rooms Of this. one Of the most perfect
structures of the city, were handsomely
decorated with flowers, evergreenS and
different colOred lights, all making fine
effect. On entering the door into the
main hall were standing, elegantly cos
TUNED and with bright expressions on
their faces, the Misses Virginia Gibbs,
who, in a most superb manner, received
the entire company, which lighted the
hearts OF the visitors and gave them
starter" for the Joy which followed.
In the large reception apartments, were
seated a large number of the company.
and where a clever musical (both vocal
and Instrumental and literary program
was rendered, in which the following &C.
compliShed musicians participated: Mrs.
DR.. Boyd, Misses Mildred and Mamie
Gates, Edna ellis, Birdie Jones, Price,
DeHam. Mrs. Gates and Mrs. McMichael.
The violin solo by Miss DeHam and

Refreshment tables in a rear room were
then filled and the various creams were
enjoyed during the remainder of the eve

The object of this most delightful occa

next month, and the cause, being a good
one, was met with rem arkable success.

evening, land it is only a forerunner OF
what will happen in few years. We
will see cities burned, and will be sur

of savage warfare. The conflict between
capital and labor has only begun. The
whole tendency of the times is toward
the result of which have spoken. Here
tofore we have had only one conservative
element of any great numerical strength
and that was the farmers. Now they are
moving in the same direction. 1t is
nothing but one cry against railroad COM

money power. The worst will come and

KNOCKED sENsELESs.
Woung Charlie Scheidemantel
Pulled Over a Street Car
naaA,ANnarh

This morning at fifteen minutes past
eight o'clock, as the West End street car
pulled out of the eompany's switch on
Perez street a cry was heard from the
other car to hold up.
The car stopped and the occupants
rushed out only to find in the middle OF
the track, on foot resting on the rail,
what looked like the dead body Of young
Chanlie Scheidemantel, Mr.. Henry Yer:
nor's efficient clerk, and a resident of
West End.
Friendly hands picked up the body and
carried it into a store near by and
placed it on cot, when, with the as
sistanee of cold water and stimulants, the
boy was soon brought TO life again.
The young fellow was on the rear plat
form holding to the trolly rope when the
pole few of and by its force jirked him
over the dashboard. At that second the
rope broke and he. fell a distance of about
five feet.
1t was almost a miracle that his neck
or some of his limbs were not broken, but
beyond the injuries as stated he was left
unhurt.

An alarm of fire was turned in shortly
after o'clock this morning from Box 5,
located at the Third-Street Engine-House.
the provocation being the discovery of @
blaze in one of the huge show-win-
dows of the dry-goods store OF

part of the department was prompt and
the service rendered was timely and efec-
tive, as the flames were speedily extin-

The fire originated in the electric wiring
under the window and is supposed TO have
been due TO some irregularity at that point.
Damages were estimated TO have been
about $500, and it is thought they are fully
covered by insurance.
The large French-plate glass was broken.
and all the material in the window was
badly injured. Other articles suffered
from water.

LABOR DIFFICULTIES.
COMBINATION IN NEW YORK AGAINST
THE WALKING DELEGATE.
Great Strike In the BuiIdinx Trades-Non-
Union Men to BE Brought In
Homestead and idaho.
rBy telegraph 20 the Dispatch.i

| NEW YoRK, August 3.--It Is announced
that tho builders and building contractors
Of this city hive joined hands with the
Building Material Dealers Association in
the struggle going on between the associa-
ton and the building trades union. Hence.
forth they will employ only such men as
are not subject to the orders OF walking
delegates.
That such plan was in contemplation
and would eventually be carried into effect
was intimated some time ago.
The builders we're at that time reluctant
| TO adopt the plan. They said that 1t would
mean q complete revolution III tho building
trade. IL would take at least year, they
said. for new men to become acquainted
with the business, which would mean q
great loss OF money to them. Since the
walking delegates have ordered strikes on
nearly every building In the city. however
they have decided that such step is the
only means of averting similar trouble IN
| the future.
AGAINST TIE WALKING DELEGATES.
Against the union men themselves the
builders and contractors say they have no
hostile feeling. II is to free themselves
from what they term the wanton caprice
of the walking delegates that they have
resolved upon this undertaking.
For the past two years. they declare. they
have been made TO suffer as medium OF
attack ON other trades where the real
trouble lay.
They have accordingly determined to
employ in future only such union men a.
will agree not to obey the orders of the
walking delegates and TO fill the remaining
vacancies with non-union men. AS q re-
fusal OF the union men to obey the dele
gates orders would be tantamount TO with
drawing their allegiance from the union,
il is likely that, for time at least, the con-
tractors will be obliged to employ non-
union men.
SoN-UNIoSIsTs TO BE IMPORTED.
As strikes have been ordered on nearly
one hundred buildings, they will have to
obtain, eventually. fully 1900 non-unlon
men. They declare that they Will be able
TO do this within two months. They be-
lieve it will be possible TO obtain half OF
this number in New York and its vicinity,
and they expect to get the rest from other
cities. The importation of non-unlon
men, it is said, will begin within a few
weeks.
There are at least so, 900 non-union arti-
sans in the country, the contractors assert,
who are willing and anxious to accept the
places, and even if they were not. they
say, the places OF the union men could be
filed by laborers, who would be able To
learn the trade IN a short time.
