souls, who, in accordance with the

had, in an idle moment, inscribed up

fancy. This inscription, however, es-
capped notice

HUNGARIANS STRIKE.

The Hungarlans and Italians at
work on the new reservoir Of the
Bloomsbury Water Company on Tues
day made demand upon the con-
tractors resulting in the discharge of
all of them. Several of the workmen
were discharged because they were
not giving satisfaction to the contrac-
tors, whereupon the rest of the for
eigners refused to work. When ask.
ed to continue work. some exclaimed
"me can't ! kill me kill me- 1t
would seem from this that they are
banded together by oath to compel an
employer always to retain all of them.
The contractor having dealt with men
of such character heretofore immed-
lately discharged all the foreigners and
later on, in front of the Exchange
Hotel, they were each given an en-
velope containing their wages in full.
On Wednesday morning, each with a
pack upon his back, was seen leaving
the town. 1t was good thing to
have them quit the town we have no
use for such people in this community.
If they wish to come here and
choose this as their home, it is right
and proper, but transient workmen
ought not be tolerated in the place.
A umber OF Americans still continue
work, but the reduction of the force
Of workmen will somewhat ietard the
completion of the reservoir.

for this. Some Of the tenants are
moving out Of the borough while 9th

occupying one dwelling in order to
keep down living expenses. Cheap
rents are also being sought after which
has been necessitated by the almost
complete closing down Of the works.

was for many years a member Of con.
gress and secretary of the common
wealth and another of whom Is prom
inent lawyer of Philadelphia, the part
ner of Gov. Pattison until his recent
election. After graduating as valedic-
tcrian of his class in Wittenburg col
1ege Mr.. Grosscup read law in the Office
of Judge Thomas, of Boston, and then
settled down to practice in his native
town, forming a law partnership with
the late Judge Osborn. He soon de-
veioped a special talent for the trial
of causes and became a favorite jury
and political orator. His method
was that of close logic and
poin tedness, infused with fire and
imagination. He entered into politics
and found himself when not quite %
years old the candidate of his party for
congress The year, however. was dem
ocratic, and Mr.. Grosscup remained
with his practice. Two years later
gerrymander threw him into the same
district with Maj. Mckinley, who as yet
had made no mark in congress. The
democratic majority rose upward Of
1000, but the young republicans over
came it, e}ectlng their candidate by
1890 majority, a triumph that gave
him his first political prestige. Mr..
Grosscup was in the front from the time
of making the nominating speech in the
convention TO the election, and ever
since has been special friend to the
Buckeye governor. -Four years later the
state was again gerrymandered, this
time by the republicans. Mr.. GrOsscup
got into republican district, but the
counties were strangers to each other
and a spirited contest followed, which
resulted in his defeat. Determining to
leave politics alone, he came to Chicago
in February, 1888, and entered into part
nership with the late Leonard SWEET.
During the time of that partnership and
since he has taken part in many impor-
tant trials, among them being the Ker
and Maclzin cases and the Hoke case at
Peoria These were his only criminal
cases. He was chiefly engaged in chan
Gerry cases and in argument before the
state and United Sta tes supreme courts.
Many of these cases involved large
sums of money, and some, such as the
university and Douglas and the Storey
will cases, and more recently the Craw-
ford, the Webster and Kean cases, are
well known.
Mr.. Srosscup married the daughter
OF the late A. A. Taylor, the owner of
the extensive Touring mills at Toledo,
Mount Vernon, Londonville and other
places in Ohio.
