FURST'S INSURANCE.
In a Fair Way to Get His Insurance at
Last,

In some respects, Charles S. Furst, the
contractor to furnish goods to the County,
who has frequently been placed before
the public in an unenviable light, is
still fortunate man. His store
on Newark avenue mysteriously
took fire one Saturday night last January
and burned down. The wreck was al
most complete. Furst was heavily in
sured, and the companies had. after
weeks of deliberation. finally concluded
to pay him 961& per cent of the
amount of his policies. This
amounts to $50. 795 on the stock and the
money will probably be paid within a
few days. The Insurance on the build
ings has not been adjusted and appraisers
are at work on it.. AS soon as they fix
the loss the money will be paid to Furst.

negatives. He appoints the heads of the
various departments and is rightly held

hooves us as citizens to unite upon and
elect trustworthy man. and not waste
our energy in contending factions"

The Strike Settled.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1.-The Cres-

l O'Clock this morning q settlement
seemed as far off as ever, but firm
stand of Governor Foster iDstitutiDg
proceedings in the United States
courts against the strike leaders for
the violation of section 5407, revised
federal statutes, and an INTUITION
issued against them under the anti
monopoly act OF congress passed in
1889. and also the firm stand of the
merchants had Its effect, and at z
O'Clock this morning an agreement
was signed, under which the strike
was declared off. The merchants
agreed to reinstste such men as they
had vacancies for at the present time,
retaining all the men employed
during the strike, the wages ana
hours to ue ar bitrate1. The merchants
further agree not to dlsdriminate
against union lsborers in employing
men in the future, but to give their
applications fair consideration, re-
serving to themselves the right to
deal with their man directly and not
through any amalgamated council.
After making an agreement the labor
leaders did not return to hesdqusr
ters but left their followers to learn
the result through the morning pa
pers. There were fully 10000 men
around labor headquarters this morn.

not return to work and strikers

against their committee and only the
cooler heads prevented the mob from
seeking them. In obedience to
instructions the car drivers all re-
ported for duty this morning. The
majority of them were re employed
out only as individuals, various lead
ers among them being refused en-
plOymeut by various lines. The
standard Oh company and the AL
bert Baldwin hardware company re-
fused employment to their old hands.
At noon it is reported that the presi-
dent of the Round Railroad freight

that the association would not return
to work yet. This order was Obeyed

Northeastern depot, who are again at
work. This, however, will not effect
business to any apprecisble extent, as

easily secured. The electric light

urned to work and the city will be
again lighted with electricity to-
night.
