A STUPENDOUS STRIKE.
GRANITE CUTTERS LOCKED OUT
ALL ALONG THE LINE.
Fifty Thousand Quarrymen Idle in New
England-New York Building
Operations Menaced.

New YORK, May 16.-A lockout OF
granite cutters throughout the New
England states was declared this morn
ing, throwing out OF employment from
10000 to $4,000 men, and at the same
time a number of strikes were ordered
in sympathy with the stone cutters. 1t
is estimated that fully $4,000 men, en-
ployed in quarrying stone, etc., are now
out as the immediate effect of the lock-
out.
Efforts are being made in this city to
stop all building operations, with
menace of still more far-reaching effects.
Many other trades will undoubtedly be
implicated if the struggle is protracted.
The men say they have means to con-
tinue the struggle indefinitely, and be-
lieve the urgency OF the contracts will
compel the employers to surrender.
Commissioner of Public Works Gill
roy, upon whom the men rely to bring
the employers to terms by insisting that
the paving contracts now under way
shall be filed, said this morning that he
saw no way in which to bring about
an understanding between the men and
their employers. He declared that he
could make no calculation as to when
work would be resumed.
Pickets of the granite cutters watch
every boat load of stone brought to the
city, and in every case where it comes
from quarry the owner of which is
member of the Granite Manufacturers
association, the workmen will be warned
not to handle the stone.
Secretary Grant, of the Paving Cut
ters' National union, today received a
dispatch from Secretary Dyer, of the
Granite. Cutters National union. saying:
Lockout all along the line." This
means that 5000 men are locked out,
and the only quarries now in operation
in the New England states are those at
Swans island, Maine, and one at Water
vile, Conn.
QUINCY, Mass. May 16.-Every stone
yard in the city opened for business this
morning, giving chance to the work
men not recognizing organized labor to
resume work, but none responded. 1t is
said an effort will be made by the men
to have the apprentices, who were the
only people working today, to join the
unions, thus bringing work to an abso-
lutte standstill. The men feel confident
that the present state of affairs will not
exist more than week.

A BONE FOR TEED.
An Attempt to Blow Up the House OF
the KOreshan Crank.

An Attempt to Blow Up the House of
the KOreshan Crank.
CHICAGO, May 16.--A morning paper
says bomb of a dangerous char
acter was found under the house of DR..
Teed, the leader of the 60 called Koresh-
an community, which has established
it's "heavens' at Washington heights,
a suburb of Chicago.
Teed has been sued for 100000 dam
ages by Sidney G.. Miller, manager of
the National Publishing company. 1t is
claimed that plaintiffs wife fell under
Teed's influence and left her husband
and beautiful home. 1t is said that a
number of similar suits are about to be
brought, and one criminal action.
According to the affidavits there was
three years ago no more peaceful and
happy home than that of the Millere.
They had two beautiful little girls and
were possessed of ample means.
Mrs. Miller is fine looking woman,
pronounced brunette, of good educa-
tion. refinement and intellect, except in
the direction of Teed's teachings. The
bill alleges that since her blind infatua-
tion she has repeatedly said that she
would rather be in her coffin on her
way to the grave than to sustain mar
tial relations with her lawful husband
and the father of her children. This
perverseness. the bill alleges, has pre-
maturely aged her husband and caused
his hair to whiten with sorrow, al
though he is but 80, his wife being
about the same age.
Mr.. Miller stated that his wife first
went to hear Teed at the College of Life
out of pure curiosity. Teed taught that
he was Christ, and that he was to De
translated to heaven, accompanied by
six of his more faithful and duly puri-
fed female angels, one of whom would
be translated to the goddess Minerva,
who would return again and rule the
earth

AN 4ADMIRER OF BLAINE.

An Enthusiastic Frenchman's Estimate
of the Secretary of State.
PARIS, May l6.--Paul Des Channel, re-
Gently in the United States on mission
for the French government, is an enthu-
siastic admirer of Secretary Blaine. In
a conversation with an Associated Press
representative Des Channel said he ex-
pected to find Blaine an eminent states
man, but was hardly prepared to find
him statesman of the extraordinary
calibre which he is now convinced
Blaine possesses.
''In fnesee," said Des Channel,
blaine is the diametric opposite of the
old European notion OF the American
political man.
He places Blaine on the first plane Of
living statesmen.
