A STRIKE FEARED At THE FAIR.


CHICAGO, March 3l.-Many of the con-
tractors at the Worlds Fair grounds are
looking rwar,f with grea; deal of uneasi-
uess to next Monday. April 5. An ediet
has gone out from tie labor organizations
that after that day only Union worknen
shall be employed on Worlds Fair jobs, and
contractors who do not pay heed to this
order will suffer strike. The movement
applies particularly to the carpenters.
Their union here is weak compared with
the bricklaYers ard some others, and there
being but 80 days left in which to finish the
hundreds OF exhibit pariiions and coBces-
sionaires' stands, and not nearly enough
carpenters to supply the demand. they think
this is good chance to strengthen their
union.
In case of strike many buildings can
not be finished, and about the only thing
left for the contractors to do seems to be to
get their men into .ile union.

A case has been decided in the circuit
court here that fixes definitely and precisely
the limit of the liability of the county COM
mtssioners for damages resulting from ac-
ctdents on the county roads. Allen q. Bur-
rier was moving a traction engine along
the pike and when crossing a small bridge,
near Liberty, the bridge broke and the en-
CINE was damaged. Burrier sued the coun-
ty for 500 and won the case before a mag
istrate. The commissioners appealed, and
the court in its ruling reverses the decision
OF the lower court, its decision being to the
effect that the duty of the county COM
mlssioners is well performed if the bridge
complained of was in a reasonably safe con-
d1tion for travel in the ordinary modes in
the nelghborhood and. by the people who
commonly use such bridge" The county
commissioners construe this decision to
mean that the county is not bound to provide
oricgeS adapted to raordinary and I'M
usual modes of travel or excessive weight
