CALLED OUT THE POLICE.
Short Lived Strike of the PAYERS on the Ken
tucky-Ayenue Work Yesterday

There was quite a little furry down on
Kentucky avenue yesterday afternoon for
q few minutes, caused by strike of the
men employed by the Warren chsrf Paw
ing Company in paving that thorOughfare.
1t seems that the superin tendent. j. p.
Humphreys, asked shoveler to
do some work which did not be-
long to his regular routine. He re-
fused, and was Immediately discharged.
The other men on that side of the street. I'D
the number of abOu. twenty. quit work as
soon as they learned what was going on,
and. when the superintendent brought men
from another part of the street to take
their places. those who had been working
refused to give mp their tools or allow them
to 90 to work. Mr.. Humphreys asked for
officers In the down town dis
tricts were at once hurried to
the scene. Everything was quiet
when they reached 1t and the striking men
gave mp their tools when told to do so by
the officers. The men all belong to the
Teamsters' and Sbovelers' Union. When
quiet was restored Mr. Humphreys told
the men they might all return TO work,
with the exception of one named Webb
who, he said. had been q constant disturb
ing element since the work had begun
and was the real cause of yesterday y
trouble, although man named Ike
sutton was the one discharged. Walking
delegate Hannihau appeared on the scene,
and he and Humphreys succeeded In reach
ing settlement whereby the men will all
return to work this morning. Superintend-
ent Humphreys claims that the real cause
of trouble IS that the paving company sd-
vertised for bids for the hauling of stone
and that 1t was given To j. Il. Shower, who
employs non-uDion teams, Is the lowest
bidder saying further that he had already
been warned that IL would cause trouble.

RICE WILL CASE DECIDED
Contestants Gain the First Step in the
Litigation on Question of Probation.
Practice Followed for Years in Marion County
Declared Illegal-Federal Docket-Pugh
Declared Insane.

Judge Brown gave his decision in the
less that case is reversed by the Supreme
Court no more wills will be probated in
the clerks office as has has been the practice
in this and other counties of this State for
years. The decision is based mp
on one in the Supreme Court of
Pennsy lvanis. where the court of
last resort held that the admission
of will to probate was judicial act, and
it was not com petent for the registrar to
delegate authority to perform it to another.
Taking this decision as the basis of his
opinion Judge Brown held that the Rice
will had been improperly prObated. and
was still open TO contest by interested par
ties. The contestants in their petition
prayed for the appointment of q special adj
minlstrator to have charge of the property
pending litigation over the will In
case the probate should not be sustained.
A question 10 left as to whether the decis-
ion does not make it incompetent for the
clerk to admit wills to probate and issue
letters of administration thereon during
vacation. The statute upon the question
of probating will expressly provides for
tins method of procedure. but attorneys
say that IL the decision is sound law the
statute is unconstitutional in grant
ing TO the clerk. ministerial
officer, power to perform q judicial act.

What a Revelation

To our friends and the public
generally will be the magnifi-
cent free exhibit of Oriental
Rugs which begins to-day.
These antique splendors of
the far eastern countries have
arrived, and this morning
they will be displayed in all
their regal magnificence.
The public are on the tip
toe of expectancy and they
will not be disappointed.
The sight is a rare one and
should prove a treat to all
lovers of the beautiful.
These glorious relics of a
nearly forgotten art were col
lected by our own special rep
resentative in eastern lands,
a chronicle of whose adven-
lures. hardships and hair
breadth escapes from savage
tribes in the mountainous
districts of Caucasus and the
arid deserts of 'Hindoostan,
would read like a tale from
the Arabian Nights.
Many of the most beautiful
of these treasures were col
lected in Turkey and Asia
Minor, the patterns, colorings
and. designs of which were
perfected in the days when
Damascus, Nineveh and Baby
lon were in their glory.
Come, and if you are no
amateur in eastern luXuriance
you will be a child again in
the presence of these wonders.
Yesterday we were not
ready to show these gems of
art, yet so deep is the interest
evinced in this truly royal ex-
hibit that throngs of art
lovers visited our carpet
rooms to catch a glimpse of
the Oriental beauties. The
grand exhibit opens this
morning, everything is in
readiness and we cordially in
vite you to grace the scene
with your presence.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is

been very satisfactory. OF course. lighting

only such lines as the Pennsylvania. the
New York Central. or where the business
will Justify such an expense. A Pennsyl-
vania official states that should the expert
ments making prove practicable the road
betw cen Jersey City aud Philadelphia will
first be so equipped. IL Is proposed 10 have
generating plants along the lines at suttl-
cIent distances apart 20 keep mp the volt
age necessary TO the perfect lighting OF the
track, and these plants may be adiuncts TO
the present telegraph operators Of

RtIDg stations the electric-lighting wires
will be strung according TO the system

MIR occupy intermediate spaces between

difficulties IN properly stringing the wires

which case. while interference" from con-
tact would be obviated. the preliminary eX-
penses would be greater. It Is thought
that one powerful light viii be sufficient
