THE WALKING DELEGATE
NEW YORK BUILDERS UNITE
TO DOWN HIM

Strikes ordered OH Nearly 100
Buildings-The Union Men VIII
he thrown Out and NOn.UniOn
Men EMPLOYED.
NEW YORK, August At is announc-
ed that the builders and building con.
tractors of this city have joined hands
with the building material association
in struggle going on between the asso-
ciation and the building trades union.
Henceforth they will employ only such
men as arc not subject to orders OF the
walking delegates.
Against the union men themselves the
builders and contractors say they have
no hostile feeling. 1t is to free them
selves from what they term the wanton
caprice OF walking delegates that they
have resolved upon this undertaking.
For the past two years they declare
that they have been made to suffer as
the medium of attack on other trades,
where the real trouble lay.
They have accordingly determined to
employ in the future only such union
men as will agree not obey the orders Of
walking delegates and fill the remaining
r vacancies with non-union men. As re-
fusal of the union men to obey the dele
gates orders would be tantamount to
Withdrawing their allegiance from thu
!, union, it is likely that, for a time al
/, least, contractors will be obliged to EN-
ploy non-union men.
As strikes have been ordered on nearly
!. one hundred buildings they will hav,
y eventually to obtain fully 10000 nor
union men. They declare that the.
i will be able to do this within twt
mouths. They believe it will be posi-
bic to obtain half this number in New
:, York and vicinity and they expect t.
!, get the rest from other cities. The i'm
r nortatiou of non-union men, it is said
!. will begin within few weeks. Their
X are at least $4,000 non.union artisan

who are willing and anxious to accep

DID HE TRY
TO COMMIT SUICIDE?

The train which leaves the Asheville
depot at 3:O5 was rounding the bend
Yesterday when a man rushed to the
platform and jumped off. His rash
act created great excitement among
the other passengers-they all thought it
was a case of suicide. Ladies tainted,
men rushed to the platform expecting to
sec his mangled form upon the track.
but the fact was he had forgotten to put
his bottle of "Buncombe Pills" in his
satchel and would not start on his jour
ney without them. He etook great chances,
but he might have taken greater.

4 Talk With The Bp.

We were talking to q good, kind old moth.r a few day s ago and she was complaining bitterly about how badly her sons were treating her in her old days. They were stingy with her and generous with others. They seem to rejoice in making her life burdensome and yet she always worked hard la'e and early for them. This was going on for years. She is a good Christian mother and she can't understand why this condition of things should exist. Now this complaint is as common as it is cruel. These poor old mothers have to live and suffer and there is no court of appeal. Well, We can tell all these boys that they are branded. They are work ing their own destruction. Their char acter is written on their faces. You can tell them wherever you see them. The man who Is looking around for reliable men will not hire them Every man who hires help is constantly watching for reliable men. Think also hat the train If death is coming and you are only waiting here at the sta tion It may not be the next, but it is coming and no m4tter how humble your station in life Is you will have a private BOX all to yourself when you fall into the hands "f the peoples undertaken.

 WAsHrNaToN, April 26.-Senators Tel Ter, Morgan, Daniel and Sanders have taken an active part during the past week in the secret proceedings of the National Silver Committee, which has been in session in this city. Twenty States were represented, and 1t has de- veloped that the meeting was of mora than ordinary importance.
 1t is stated by meuabers of the Com mittee that last effort will be made by the free coinage advocates at their con- vention, which has been called to meet in Washington on May %, to induce one of the great political parties to incorpor- ate in its platform 8 free-coinage plank; that if efforts in that direction fail, the free coinage men will take steps to or Ranize a third party, the basis of which will be the Farmers Alliance and all de- voted advocates of free silver; that a convention will be called at which Sem ator Teller will be nominated for Presi- dent and Col. Polk, of the Farmers' AL Eance, for Vice-President, and a plat form advocated containing but 8 single plank, providing for the free and unlina- ited coinage of both gold and silver.
 Friends of Senator Teller maintain that he will accept the nomination upon a strictly financial platform, provided the great parties nominate men un- friendly to free coinage -
 A gentleman familiar with the move 1nent figures that Messrs. Teller and Polk would certainly be able to carry the States of Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Ne-. vada, Montana, Nebraska, Kansas, Wash- ington and Idaho; have an equal show with other candidates in Illinois, Mis- souri, Minnesota, Ark ansas and Texas, and if unable to secure election direct that they could at least throw the choice of President into the House of Repre- sentatives, where it is claimed the free coinage candidate would be almost cer- tain of election.
 The National Silver committee will probably finally adjourn to-day.
