DEAR SIR: am instructed 10 inform you
that at a meeting of the Executive Commit
tee Of this association held yesterday il was
voted that the members of this association
shall stop work in all their departments with

arrangements for 1882, In ali localities, which
shall terminate January ], 1888.
Per order Of the Executive Committee.
&. w. ASBRAND,
Secretary pro tempore.
Each year there has been an annual
agreement signed bv the bosses and the
bosses and the men, and this agreement
has always terminated May This year
the agreement was not renewed because
the bosses wanted the men to date it from
January l. At this time there is little or
no work, and the men say the bosses cou Id
do just as they pleased. The men threat
ened to strike, but the manufacturers have
forestalled them.
The lockout will throw out of employ
ment 5000 quarrymen and $500 other
workers in Vermont. New Hampshire.
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachu-
setts. 1t also means the compulsory
idleness of fully 10000 men in this city,
Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Albany and other cities.
There are 42l granite manufacturers
east of the Alleghanies, and of this mum
ber only forty belong to the New England
Association. The others have signified
their willingness to send TO this city gran
ite quarried by union men. If the present
contracts with the New England people
can be broken this will open market for
the union stone, and put an end to the
PAYERS sympathetic strike which has
stopped work on city streets here.

THE ECLIPSE TONIGHT.
IT IL should Crear Up BE Sure to Observe
the Moon.


the Moon.
II the prospects of clear night were
aay more favorable, Providence people
might enjoy the spectacle of an eclipse of
the moon.
a partial eclipse willhave begun several
hours before sunset, and when the moon
or that portion of it which is not in the
shadow, appears, the effect will have
partly disappeared. The moon will leave
the shadow at little after 1:30 o'clock,
and will pass out of the penumbra, or
outer shadow, and shine at its full Just
before o'clock.
The greatest portion Of the moons face
that will be hidden is 96-100 Of the whole,
and the fact that this is SO near an ap-
proach to the exceedingly rare occurrence
of total eclipse makes to-night's event all
the more remarkable,
In clear sky the moon might be seen
surrounded by an aurora, or colored halo.
This spectrum is produced by the refrac-
tive power of the atmosphere. These
colors are a part at least of what is known
as the penumbra the nature of which has
not been settled beyond a doubt.

A WEALTHY American, who died at
Firenzie, Italy, recently, during his
lifetime astonished the walters, cab
men and others by refusing to give
them their customary tips, and by
promising to remember them in his
will. He has astonished them still
more by bequeathing large sums of
money to the Cabmen's Society, the
Walters Association and the mana
gers and walters of several popular
cafes. Henceforth Americans who
promise tips, will be quite as welcome
in Italy, or little more SO, than those
who give them.

DIR. HIcGonigle Suspected of Killing Yeo,
who Tasted" Electric Wires.
New York, July 29.-If the story that
has come out has any foundation in fact
DIR. Henry G. McGonigle and Dr. Marion
A Dale, who are in Jail in Long Island
City, charged with having caused the
death of Mrs. Louisa Webb of Ravenswood,
may have to answer for crime committed
in this city.
Last month Arthur ]. Yeo, an electri-
clan, died at his home in Eighth avenue.
His death certificate, signed by Dr. Dale,
was such a curious document that it caus-
ed great deal of attention. DR.. Dale
claimed that Yeo had died of poisoning,
and that the poison had lodged in his sys-
tenn because of his habit of tasting" cleo
trio wires.
The father Of the dead man says that
his son formerly worked for DR.. MoGon-
igle and knew much of the old mans bust
ness. McGonigle induced him to go to
Costa R lea, but Yeo returned very i'll
with chills and fever. Drs. McGonigle
and Dale treated him and used a big guam
tity of morphine.
The elder Yeo Is satisfied that his son
was poisoned by McGonigle and he will
take steps to have the matter thoroughly
investigated. He has already communi'
Gated with the police authorities and Cor

dered by BriRands.
WARSAW, July 29.-Burglars entered
the house of Hebrew family named Ru
binstein during the night and demanded
from the father his money. He refused
to say where he kept it, and the burglars
tried to move him by torture to change
his mind
They chopped off his fingers with an
axe, but he still refused to tell Then
they Drained him and turned their atten-
tioD to Mrs. Rubinstein. She protested
that she knew nothing as to the where
abouts of the money.
They did not believe her and after tor
turing her also to no purpose, cut her
throat.
The youngest daughter was killed in the
same way, and three boys of 2, 3 and D
years each, who had begun to cry, were
dashed against the wall until dead. The
eldest daughter was hung up by her feet
until she told where her father had kept
his money.
The burglars found about 800 roubles in
the chimney to which she directed them.
To prevent all chance of discovery they
eventually stabbed her in the breast and
left her for dead.
A neighbor called at the house and
found the door open. On the floor of the
first room was the eldest daughter, weak
from loss of blood, but able to tell her
story. The bodies of the other six had
been thrown in heap in the bedroom.
