The Rrioklayarn MaaI.

The Bricklayers Union of this city held
a large meeting last night in Flickinger's
hall. The meeting was special one and
the matter of the Axle works and their
recent trouble was discussed. A PROPOSE
tion was received from the Company to
pay the men the actual amount due them
but not the expenses of the attachment
suits. After talking over the proposition
it was decided by the Union that if the
Company pay the amounts due their
workmen and pay expenses incurred by
the suits, an acceptance would be made
by the men of the money and the differ
erences would be settled. This new pro-
position will be rendered the Axle Works
Company and 1t is probable that an
agreement will soon put quietus upon
all their late troubles.

THAT LIGHTNING STROKE
It Manifests Its Power on a
jackson Street House.

One Of the most destructive and dam
aging of recent lightning strokes, was
that which bore down upon and struck
the Falka residence on jackson street to-
day. Very little rain fell and but few
strokes of the electric fluid we're dis.
charged. About half past eleven this
forenoon Mrs. Henry Falka was standing
by cook stove in the kitchen getting
dinner ready for the family. A big roll OF
thunder was heard and terrible shock
experienced by her. The plastering
tumbled down from the second floor cell
ing and things were torn up In
every way. Mrs. Balka was
terribly frightened and opening the
front door she ran out upon the street
and gazing up at the toppled over chin
ney she tainted. Life was blank TO her
for three hours. She fell iusensible upon
the front porch and her daughter ran out
and discovered her lying there and picked
her up. A cot was improvised and the
woman laid thereon. DR.. 7. II. LAndor,
who was just passing along, was called in
and he attended TO the woman. A NEWS
DEMOCRAT reporter called at the Falka
place this afternoon. The scene was a
horrible one. Shingles we're set on fire
on the roof, but the flames were ex in
puished before much damage was done.
The ceiling was oil torn down and beds
and furniture were covered with fallen
plastering. Mrs. Falka, although suffer.
ing some pain, will soon recover and be
able to do her housework again.

ohas. N. sonmiok for Congress.

EDITOR NEWS RAT:--WhisperinRs
have reached the ears OF the workingmen
Of the possibility of inducing Charles N.
Schmick of the Cherry Valley Iron Com
pany of Lsetonia, Ohio, to become the
Democratic candidate for Congress in this
district. All who kdow, or know Of him,
hope he can be prevailed upon to go into
the race. Here is the man who can win
without doubt, and he should have the
call.
Mr. Scbmick has peculiar strength this
year; his uufluciDg Democracy and per.
sonal character will draw TO him every
Drmccratic vote, aud he will gain many
sound thinking Republican votes. Being
for many years the head Of the Lu .inesI
management Of the Cherry Valley Iron
Co., he has met his workmen on such
equitable terms as never to have strike
in the works, and this year he was the first
iron manufacturer in the MahoniDg Valley
TO sign the scale.
He Is man approachable to all every
hour of the day, and therefore very pop
ular. When l saw the personal mention
ton made of him last week in the Cleve-
land Penny Press, made up my mind to
write a communication to your paper,
calling tho attention of my fellow work
men, Democrats and Republicans to his
exceptional strength.
III he should be the nominee for Con-
gress, workinemen, whether Democrats
or Republicans, will be glad to honor
manufacturer, and especially one who
has treated his workmen 80 generously.
Mr.. Schmick IL man Of education, and
capable and thorough business m An, who
would represent the new Eighteenth Dis
trict with credit.
Considering the situation from every
point of view, Mr.. Schmick is more likely
to beat Mr.. Morgan that any other person
whose name has been mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination. II anyone
doubts whether MIR. Schmick is popular
with all classes OF people, let them make
inquiries at Youngstown or Leetonia. Ask
the laboring people and you will get one
answer only. "There is no man in the
iron trade who is more respected" This
is the man for the emergency and no
mistake, fellow workmen.
