Hundreds of Them Out of Work Because
the Western Union is CurtailiDg.
PHILADELPHIA, July 27.-The linemen
and operators CT the Western Union
Telegraph Company in this city ex-
pressed considerable anxiety yesterday
over the proposed retrenchment of ex-
penses by discharging a large number OF
its employees. In New York it was
stated that 230 linemen and other EN-
ployes had been dropped from the rolls,
and while in this city the reduction had
not been so great, it was due to the fact
that the management had been very
cautious in employing men not actually
required.
An operator stated that over fifty line
men and thirty operators had been laid
off in Philadelphia. Both Superintend
ent Gill and Manger Saylor had left
their Offices when the reporter called to
see them, but another official admitted
that every effort was being made to re
trench expenses, though he would not
say how many of the employees had beer
dropped.

FOND OF SOUND, HARD MONEY
BUT COLORADO BUSINESS MEN
HAVE ORDERED TOO MUCH.

IT New Workers Hold Them to Their
Orders They Must Go to the wall as
There is Now Enough Goods to Last
Until July 1, 1894.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The Dry Goods
Economist of this week will print a
letter from Daniels & Fisher of Denver,
one of the largest dry goods houses in
Colorado. from which the following are
extracts:
"In reference to the feeling Of Colo
RADIO merchants on the matter Of the
Colorado trade. we believe the people of
Colorado universally will pay their
debts, but we think the Eastern mer-
chants should appreciate the situation
and not ask them to take the goods
already on order, for there is absolutely
no outlet for them, and we cannot ex-
pect 1t during this season. We do not
believe that a community exists in the
United States more given TO paying their
debts and more fond of good, sound,
hard money than the merchants Of Colo.
rado.
1--WE have some individuals here, well
meaning enough, but thoroughbred
crdnks on all subjects, who frighten ouI
Eastern friends out of their wits. and
even our governor sent dispatch lately
which had such an effect East that We
doubt If it was not as great a calamity
as to have had half Of our city consumed
by great conhagration. But the Eas
must remember that the greater crank Q
man is, the less mischief he can d.
where he is known, and the more mis-
chief away fiom home
| 1--WE are going to pay our debts. a
before stated, but we think ever
thoughtful person in the East will lool
upon countermands Of any furthe
orders as the greatest kindness for him
self for there are more goods in Colo
rado TO day than will be consumed b.
the first of July, 1894 II there are an,
wrecks in the trade 1t will be wholly du
to the vicious system of advance buyinI
and giving extra dating, and both o
these abuses, most assuredly the latter
are undoubtedly the outcome of tn
severe competition of recent years.
If the Colorado merchants are forced
to take the fall underwear, the fal
dress goods and other merchandis
which they bought for no other reasoI
than that they could get October dat
ing. the man that forces them to take /
is liable TO lose it, although we fully ap
preciate that there is nothing quite a
aggravating as to have goods sold an

A FORTUNE AT BRAEDYWINE SUMMIT
1t Consists of Vast Deposits of KaoIin at
the Mines of the National KaOlin
Company.

1t Consists of Vast Deposits of KaoIin at
the Mines of the National KaOiin
Company.
A fortune has been discovered in the
old clay banks at Brandywine Summit.
There have been vast deposits of kaolin
going to waste every year at the mines
of the National Kaolin Company at this
place. Experiments made at the kaolin
works for the year past, show that this
material which has heretofore been con-
sidered waste can be made into fine
quality of bricks.
About fifty we'll known citizens Of
Media, Chester and Philadelphia went on
special train yesterday, to inspect the
mines. The object of the visit was to
view the methods of procuring and pro-
ducing kaolin, and to ascertain the
amount of refuse clay that can be
utilized in the manufacture of vitrihed
silica and other bricks.
Heretofore vitri6ed bricks have not
been made east of the Alleghenies, be.
cause it has not been known the proper
material could be found in any of the
eastern sections Of the country suited to
their manufacture.
A number of bricks have been made
and samples were shown to the visitors
yesterday. 1t is now proposed to ISSUE
additional shares of stock and erect {
plant for the manufacture of bricks in {
very short time. There is enough kaolir
deposit already dug to make 40, 900, 00I
vitrifed and the same number of silicl
bricks. Many of the streets of this city
are paved with vitrifed bricks.
The kaolin mines were a center o
interest for campers at Brandywine Sum
NIT campmeeting last summer. TIL
steep clay banks were climbed by score
Of adventurous youths.

THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT GO TO
THE CAPITAL TILL AUGUST 6.

VIII Not Leave Gray Gables Until Sep
tember.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, July a.
President Cleveland now hopes not to
be obliged to leave Gray Gables on
August 1, as he had at first expected
to do. Colonel Lamont this afternoon
stated that President Cleveland would
remain at Gray Gables until Monday,
August 6, and would then go direct to
the capital.
It is not stated definitely how the
Presi dent will go to Washington, but it
is likely that Commod dore Benedict s
steam yacht Oneida will convey the
President and his guests from the
Presidents villa to the national capital.
Colonel Lamont has left Gray Gables
to be absent a few days. The colonel
came from Gray Gables on the Boston
bound train this afternoon and alighted
at the station at Buzzard's bay. 81 am
going to Sorrento, Me-, for a few days
to see my family and / expect to be back
at Gray Gables the last of the week, y
remarked the colonel "The President
is enjoying his vacation too much to
leave his summer home until he is
obliged to. "
President Cleveland drove over to the
village at noon. 1t was his first appear
ance in the village for nearly two weeks
AS the carriage passed along the road
the President had a pleasant smile for
those who noticed the party as they
rode by. It was reported to-day that
the President would probably make a
trip to Masphee before he left Gray
Gables. The party did not go fishing
to day
1t is now generally understood that
the message will be finished and the
members of the Cabinet will have looked
it over before the President leaves Gray
Gables. Mrs. Cleveland rode over to the
village at six o'clock. There was q
light rain falling at the time and she
did not remain long.
A corps of engineers was expected tC
begin a survey to day for the Old Colony
and Interior Canal Company on the land

stormy weather they did not get 70 work

His Friend.
Special to Evening Journal.
CHESTER, July 27.-A remarkable
illustration in real life of the "friend
in need" is described in the Chester
Times of to-day. Hugh Smith, Of
Trenton, n j., has been sufferer in
the Chester Hospital for five weeks and
his life was despaired of. He had a
huge ulcer on his thigh. The physicians
counciled that if they could perform a
certain operation upon him they could
save his life.
Casper Howorth, a prominent young
merchant of Chester, has been life long
friend of Smiths and both are faithful
members Of the Masonic fraternity
Smiths physicians told him that to per-
form the operation they found that
grating must be done and that some
human being would have to become a
martyr and allow pieces of the cults to
be cut from their bodies in order for
Smiths thigh to heal after the ulcer was
cut off.
Accordingly Merchant Howorth gave
up everything and offered himself to be
operated upon. The physicians placed
him under the influence of ether and cut
from his thigh four pieces of skin,
which they grated into the mutilated
body of Smith
Both men will recover.

Caps Tried TO Interfere.
NEW YORK, July GA dispatch to
the He raid from Nyack, n j., says:
There was an outburst of virtuous in
dignation among the good citizens of
Ramapo, N. j., when they learned about
old John Medling's pretty young house
keeper, Jennie Shelley
Medling lived happily for six or seven
years with his old wife in what is known
as the old engine house until about three
months ago, when Mrs. Medling died
and John was left alone to continue his
business of making shoes.
He became lonesome, and things
around the house began to look untidy
and neglected until a few weeks ago
some of the late Mrs. Medling's relatives
living in Monroe sent Miss Jennie Shell
ley, a plump lassie. who looks about l6
years old, to rearrange his household
affairs and to keep them in order When
the rumor spread that the pretty maiden
was the old mans granddaughter and
some peppers reported love making in
the household about week ago a White
Cap committee called on Medling and
suggested some alteration in the ar.
rangements, intimating that detach-
ment of tar and feather battalion was
in the pr Jcess of formation.
This brought matters to a crisis, and
a day or two ago John and Jennie met in
Suffern, n. j., to invoke the aid OF
Squire Wanamaker, who, upon his re-
turn home from his days work found
them awaiting him.
They told the squire that they wished
to be married, giving him at the same
time their version OF the case and OF
the annoyances to which they had been
subjected. They made sworn answers
to all the statutory questions put to
them. Medling said he was an Eng
lishman, fifty eight years old, adding
that his wife, who was seventy years
old, had died about three months before
and that his chosen bride was the
granddaughter of the late Mrs. Medling
by her first marriage.
Miss V. Shelley said she was born il
the Isle of Guernsey eighteen years ago
and she corroborated Medling's state
ments as to her relationship with his
former wife.
Having become satisfied that no lega
objection existed to their union, the
squire with due solemnity joined TIT
old man and his step-grand daughter a
husband and wife, according to the law
