DenIson and Grand Win Their Fight-Bates

Conc-des the Demands
The walters strike yesterday was prac-
tically settled. In the case of the Bates
House. the walters won their point. gain
ing a concession OF SS5 month. Accept.
ing Mr.. Reibold's statement that the sigma
ture to the agreement was not his but that
of his head waiter, the walters refused to
serve breakfast yesterday until Mr. Rel
bold appeared and slRned the agreement
with his own hand. There was thereafter
no trou bic at this house.
Manager Foor received assurances during
the day that walters had been secured for
bin at Owensboro. KY, and at DAYTON.
and he became independent of the strikers.

out eight of the fifteen names on the paper
presented, and told the others they might
return. to work or not, Is they
pleased-he had all the help in sight he
wanted. The favored seven were the frat

The situation among the hotels as to the
strike remained much the same last night
as during the day. Manager Cullen met q
committee from his old employees and told
them that he would give them S25 a month
until Oct. /, and then each man who had
remained in the employ of the house
throughout the season would be given $40
bonus. The proposition, it was thought,
met with favor and the committee prom

Cullen says that if the strike Is not de-
clared off sometime this morning. he will
declare all negotiations at an end and will
equip his dining room with white walters.
Manager FOor rested cOntentedly last nigh {

would to-day have all the help that is
needed.

occupied by the Home Baking Company.
and workmen were constructing an oven
IN the rear where the accident happened.
George Luddy, of the Purdy Iron Com
pany. of Chicago, has been overseeing the
work. but the progress has been very slow
on account of the hodcarrlers' strike. and
the arch over the oven was not finished
until Wednesday morning. The contractor.
desiring TO hasten the completion of his
work. yesterday afternoon ordered the
braces taken from under the arch before
the brick had become firmly cemented
together and this is thought to have
caused the trouble. Luddy and his help

arch and went down with the fsllin brick.
For several seconds after the crash the
other men employed in the building heard
no sound and supposed those INSIDE tbs
oven had been killed. but on investigation
their fears were happily diepelled. and
every body in the vicinity went manfully
TO work to rescue the victims from tho
debris of brick aud mortar. Some one in
the first moment OF excitement. telephOned
police headquarters that building had
collapsed and killed half q dozen people.
This extravaganza report was recelved, and

THEY WILL ARBITRATE.

Contracting and Operative PIasterers Agree
Upon q Plan.
Yesterday the committee of the contract
ing plasterers su omitted a proposition to
the committee of the Pasterers Union to
submit all differences to committee con-
sisting of two contracting plasterers of
this city, two members of the executive
board of the national organization of
plasterers and fifth member to be chosen
by the four. The committee of the Plas-
terers' Union objected to the pars of the
proposition making memb ers of the nation
al executive board members of the arbi-
tration committee on the ground that TO
bring them here wonld cost the union
about $500. and that. inasmuch as the en-
ployers were represented by members of
their own organization, the local union
should be. The proposition was according
ly modified so as to read as sollows:
The undersigned, appointed committee to
represent the contracting plasterers and the
journeymen piasterers and members OF the OPP
erative Plasterers Union, No. 40. do hereby

EVIDENTLY DANGEROUS.
Tragic Experience of Young Wife with q
Murder0us Husband and Knife.

Alice Battish. q young married woman,
living with her husband at the corner of
Missouri and First streets. caused the arrest
of her liege lord yesterda" afternoon.
pouring into the ears of patrolman Ward
q woefnl story of her wifely fidelity
and how it is repaid. She says that
her husband, William. has lately be-
come possessed of desire to kill her. and
with that thought csmo home from the
city yesterday. He attacked her with a
knife ferociously. She fought desperately
and in the struggle William happened to
cut himself. The sight of his own blood
crazed him and she fled from the house to
escape his frightful wrath. The officer
found the husband and after taking pos
session of the knife, which was saturated
with blood, locked him up.

They Object To the Stable

DR.. Metcalf. of the State Board of Health.
yesterday received a letter from w. s.
Prather. Mayor of North Vernon. stating
th at q livery stable was about to be built
in the heart of the business part of town.
and that all protests from the merchants
and other property olders were of no avail.
The objection to it was largely upon sani-
tary grounds. and the Board of Health was
asked to interfere. Dr.. Metcslf, in his re-
ply, pointed out that the law In such cases
is as plain to town officials to him, but
that In his opinion the proper way to pre-
serve the city from such nuisances is for
the City Council to pass an ordinance pre-
venting the construction of such buildings
upon sanitary and police grounds within
certain limits.

Various Subjects Discussed Yesterday-Mr.
Gompers's Address
The international convention of maohin-
lists yesterday continued to discuss the re-
port of the committee on laws. The sub
ject of shorter hours was considered, but
no definite expression was reached. The
subject will be discussed at future time.
A great deal of time was spent in discussing
the report of the committee on various
amendments to the constitution. The as
sociation has grown so large that il was
found imperative to provide some addi-
tionsl legislation. The changes In the
workIng-card system were referred to a
special committee. The subject had proved
to be the source OF so many propositions
that IL was thought best to give the work
of shaping the views of the authors of the
resolutions into acceptable form 70
committee. The executive board
was authorized to appoint spe-
cial committee to consider the affairs of
the machinists organ, and to provide for
the separate office of editor. 1t was the
thought of the convention that the selec-
tion of an editor should be intrusted to the
OK scutive board so that in case an
emergency recurring change In the office
there would BIO some authority competent
to act.
The convention was addressed by Sam
uol II. UOupcIcs VI THO AmcIiCdH
Federation of Labor. who is working TO re-
move all cause of friction between the fed
GRAFTON and the mae hInists. This has long
been evident in this city. appearing most
strongly at the time of the Labor-day cele-
bratiOn. The cause is said to be tho fact
that a few lodges of the order have been
members of the federation TO the exclusion
of their national organization. 1t is prob
able that these lodges will be transferred
10 the Intern ational Association of Machin-
lists. The convention to-day will probably
reach the consideration OF the report of the
executive committee.
Paper Hangers stu Out.
The situation among the paper hangers
Is unchanged. aud the strikers are
quietly awaiting advances on the part
of the dealers The latter as yet have
made no offers. and state that they
will entertain no pro posi- tons other than o
complete concession on the part OF the men.
The latter, however. are not az ell discour-
aged. They are confident of an ultimate
victory. ana one of them said lest night
that the union has succeeded IN securing
nearly every nUnunion man in the CITY.
They claim TO have recruited ten new
members yesterday. two of whom were
at work on jobs lett unfinished
by union men. The majority of the strik-
ing paper hangers are young men of bright
intelligence. and insist that they do not
propose Tn stoop To an act that would in
woke public eensure in order to win the
struggle.

the Democratic National platform that
sweeping changes were to he made.
They knew that the Democratic major
ity, headed by willing administration,
was hostile to the very principle OF pro-
lection, and was impatient for its de-
struction. They knew that the major
ity had been held back with difficulty
during the extraordinary session, by
the complications which attended the
repeal of the Sherman law. What
more was it necessary for the people to
know?
Representative McMillan's style of
reasoning would be equally reassurlng
to the man whose Lie is threatened by
an enemy who has murder in his heart
and is undeterred by fear of the con-
sequences. The proposed victim has
no good ground for alarm, since he does
not know whether his end is to be
comprised by knife, or pistol, or
poison. He only knows that he is
doomed to be murdered. He is fool
for becoming alarmed before he has
been furnished with the prospective
murderer's plans and specifications.

CURRENT LITERATURE.

Our own Lieut.. Robinson has been
carrying out his literary predile ctions
in "Old Bill Reavis, or the Hermit of
the Superstitions." Speaking of Lieut..
Robinson's work Rackensack, writer
in the Prescott Courier says, (and he
neglects to furnish a key to the mean
ing:)
''Mr. Robinson, the author, makes quite a
curiosity of Mr.. Reavis, and hangs mystery
about him which the yahcos of metropolitan
Homogeneous unsophisticity will no ,ubt won
der att
Mr.. Robinson evidently hints that
"Old Bill Reavis was driven to the
mountain Businesses to get out of the
dark shadow of some awful crime.
"Rackensack" believes that the explain
alton of Mr.. Reavis' loneliness may be
more commonplace and not calculated
to reflect so strongly upon the hermit s
early life. He thinks that Mr.. Reavis
may simply not be OF gregarious tenn
permanent. His views on the subject
are set forth in a poem under the title,
'These are thy Gods" dedicated to
Mr.. Reavis.
Here is the first verse and there are
eight others, none better and some
! worse:
Doyou know the old man OF the mountains,
Who dwells 'mong the rocks and hid fountains,
A hermit they cal?
He's queer one to all the gregarious,
J " no crowd in the throug Of neiarious,
| And trespass and braEl
"Rackensack" is perhaps in no dan
ger. Mr.. Reavis will likely never run
across him.

A strong fence erected on the banks o.

ANOTHE R EXPLANATION.

The puerile reason given by so able
and eminent Democratic state smanas
Representative Mcmillan of Tennessee,
why the late landslide was not the re-
suit of an apprehension of tariff tinker
ing is "for no one knew what the
changes in 5he tariff would be-" Mr..
Mcmillan is right in one respect no
one did know. Perhaps even the AL
mighty could not satisfactorily prognos-
ticate concerning the Democrats and
the tariff, but the voters knew from
past experience that the unrestrained
Democratic majority would do it's worst.
