iNDURATED PAPER COMPANY.
Former Bellows Falls Man at the
Head of Good Business.

The Keene Sentinel has the follow
ing regarding the Indurated Paper
Co.'s plant at that place, of which d.
D. Howard, formerly of this place, is
manager:
1.-The Indurated Paper Company have
commenced running their engine regu-
larly this week and have their factory
sufficiently equipped to make certain
lines of goods. Additional machinery
and apparatus is being made and put
in as fast as possible. Numerous watts
for the treatment of paper by chemi-
Gals are also being made. Mr.. Howard.
the manager, has fitted up convenient
and pleasant office and directors
room on the first floor of the factory,
on either side of the entrance. The
main work room and the old kiln room
in the rear have been converted into
large, light apartments for the manu-
facture of amyloidon. Rooms for treat
ing the paper in chemical baths have
been fitted up in rear of the old kiln
room and drying room and shipping
room have been added on the east side
of the factory.
On the second floor there are two
more main work rooms, very large and
light, suitable for the manufacture of
small articles which will be made from
the new ware. In front of the build
ing on this floor the draughtsman's
room and moulding room remain as
before. Amyloidon requires heavy roll
ing machines and presses in its manu-
| facture and the material itself is as
| solid, almost, as a sheet of metal when
/ finished. For insulators upon power
full electrical machinery and apparatus
it is made very thick and bulky, but
for other uses, such as the nanufs cture
of convenient novelties for household
and other purposes, lighter and thin
ner ware of equal density and strength
' will be made"

The Ivy Leaf.

''The Ivy Leaf" was presented at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening be-
fore the largest audience of the season.
1t was an excellent play with a strong
cast to carry out well defined plot.
The singing of Smith O'Brien was the
best heard for years in a play of the
kind, and the Irish songs of Felix Han
ney, selections on the pipes by Charles
Yenron and the dancing by Baby John
son were pleasing specialties. The
scenery was of a high order, several re-
volving scenes being particularly good.
The audience was profuse in applause,
and there were more than the usual
number of good points that deserved it.
c. E. Capron was the local manager.

Spaulding-Day.

A dispatch from Ludlow dated Octo-
Der II says: zone of the most pleas
ant social events of the season was the
marriage, at 10 O'Clock this morning, of
Miss Alice Day, only daughter of NJ. G.
Day, of this place, and Arthur Goddard
Spaulding, of the firm of Spaulding &
Son, at the home of the brides parents.
About 100 guests were present. The
bride was very tastefully dressed and
carried white roses. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. H. o. Markham, as
sisted by Rev. d. d. Owen. The popu-
lar young couple received numerous
valuable and beautiful gifts as tokens
of esteem from their many friends.
The party have gone for a carriage trip,
after which they will reside in Lud-

HE WAS SHORT.
Deficiency Found in the Accounts
of e. l.. Greene.

An examination of the accounts of
Ernest l.. Greene shows that he was
short nearly $3.50. This shortage, ID.
w. Linton says, all occurred during the
month ending October Is, as by their
close system of checking it would be
impossible for the discrepancy to have
been of longer standing. The bills are
checked up the 18th of each month,
and when Greene was not ready this
month Mr.. Linton suspected some
thing wrong and sent for the auditor.
At the time the information was Sc
cured last week about Greene's connec-
ton with the office nothing had been
found to prove deficiency, and the
matter was afterward kept quiet in
hopes his family would make good the
deficit. This they We're unable to do,
and the story crept out but was not
confirmed until Monday. What Greene
did with the money is a mystery as he
did not gamble and it seems hardly
possible that he could have spent SO
large sum of money here in month
He was out of town but one day, when
he went to Boston in the morning and
back at night.
His funeral was held at Keene, Fri
day, and was attended by number OF
friends from this place. Several floral
designs were sent by friends here, in
Guiding one from the Mt. Kilburr
Wheel club, of which he was mem
Der.
When the body was being prepared
for burial it was found that he had sho
himself twic~, the bullets going close
together. They must have been fire {
very fast as only one shot was heard b,
those standing but few feet away. O
the money which he purloined, only 5;
in change was found and there was
nothing to show for what the balance
had been expended. 1t is sad cas-
and the later developments were ever
more of a surprise than his untimel,
death.

the ball then being in Brattleboro ter

Aside from Rogers, the teams We're
abont equal in weight, and the game
would have been close one had the
officials made just decisions. But with
the odds greatly against them through
the Vaccinations of the umpire and
referee, our boys should be highly COM
plimented for making tie. Out of
five games played they have lost but
one, the first, and that against team
that they did not expect to score on, have
won two and tied two. They are put

sidsr they were bound by Debs' order To
tie up the whole system. They therefore
remained at work. In the forenoon it
was decided by the strikers that the Ala
media should be tied up. They sent Presi-
dent Thomas Roberts with a committee to
Alameda to labor oraiorically with the
trainmen. Their efforts were unsuccess-
full. Once, indeed, it seemed as if they
were going to attain their object. Trains
Is and 10 were running between the ferry
depOts. The eloQuence of Roberts tied up
No. 19 for an hour at the FourteeDth-street
crossing. He persuaded Fireman Stanley
at Il: :45 to quit. which he did, leaving En-
gineer Baldwin oiling his engine.
At :45 Engineer Quinn arrived at the
scene with a fireman and relieved Bald

and left his engine under order of his
lodge. The narrow-gauge train left fol
Santa Cruz at P. NJ. A notice. reading
as follows. was posted at the Alameda
mole all day:
You understand, as do others, that the sleep
ing-cars are owned by the railroad companies
as per initial on inside of each car to designate
what company they belong to. The same are
operated by the Pullman Company for our &C.
count. Let the men fully understand that by
delaying traffic on our lines they are injuring
the Southern Pacific Company instead of Mr..
Pullman.
L. FILLMORE. Division Superintendent.
The A. r. q. officers had strong hopes
last night that the narrow-gauge men
would go out to-day. Still there are no
men belonging to A r. U. on that division
and the railroad officials expressed conf
dence that they would remain with the
company. The steamer Transit tied up,
as there was no business for her to do.
Rumors were current in Oakland all day
that the ferry-boats would stop and this
prevented many people from going over to
the city.

SCENES AT THE MOLE.
Only One Seventh-Street Local
Running All Day.

Oakland mole presented a scene never
before witnessed by Southern Pacific off
cials. The first train to Berkeley got
away all right, Master Mechanic Macken-
zie firing the engine on her first trip. That
trip was enough for him. He got a non
union man in his place, and the Berkeley
train made one more trip and then stopped
Ior the greater part Of the day.
Inc Seventh-sireet local. 1882, got
out on Its early morning trips with En-
glneer hesigue at the throttle and Foreman
Hail OF the roundhouse firing. After one
or two trips Hall gave up, worn out, and
Duane. the engineer of the tug Rival, was
persuaded to fire In his place. From that
on his life was not very easy or very
happy. at every stop he was shouted at
for a scab. and several times his courage

to $4,000. If our organization goes, what

have in many cases been running for ap-
proxima tely fifteen years?"
"Now as to the Pullman feature of the
present trouble: don't believe in using
the Southern Pacific as buttng- post with
which to punish Pullman. 1t was a gross
injustice to come out here and tie up this
road and attempt to destroy the older
labor organ iZations which have been tried
and their worth and stability proven.
The American Railway Union, after
its victory over Hill on the Great Northern
road, searched around for a place to ex-
pend its new-found energies. It heard of
the Pullman difficulty and Immediately
dispatched its organizer to the scene of
trouble, VINO Immediately proceeded to
take everybody in the town into the order.
Now in the American Railway Unions
constitution it is specifically stated that
man is not eligible to membership unless
he has had some experience at railroadng,
and Notwithstanding this fact the organ
izer admitted about 300 foreigners who
could not speak word of English,
who had been in this country
only a short time, and whom the
Federal authorities have thought of
deporting, and may do so yet. These men
were taken into the order and it is their
grievance which is one of the alleged
causes for tying up the Southern Pacific.
My reason for giving you this piece of in
formation is to show you that while the
younger and unthnking members of the
A. R. .. and the great mass of the Ameri-
can public may not understand she action
taken by the older organizations. we know
our course is the only fair and honorable
one. and we have no alternative but to
pursue it.
I'VE have men in our order who have
grown up in the service of the Southern Pa
cific Company; who are men of position in
the communities in which they live, con-
tented with their lot and surrounded by
such comforts as years of industry have
permitted them to secure. Do you think
that they can afford to follow dynamite
movement like this?
II just want 10 say one word in couclu-
sion about the term 'scab.' There is moth
organizations and so susceptible to false
definitions. Literally 'scab' is the man
who takes the place of another who has
stepped out because of grievance a man
who goes out of his way to step into the
place of man who has legitimate cause
for complaint, and who has gone about
rectifying it in a legitimate way from the
standpoint of organized labor. The term
will no doubt be freely applied on account
Of the present trouble, but man cannot
be scab' against the American Rail way
Union from the fact that that organization
has no agreement whatever with the
Southern Pacific Company. while all other
existing organizations have such instru-
ments. We have been very careful, as
chairmen of these different bodies, in in
structing our men to stay simply in the
line of their regular business. If man

The railroad situation has assumed
more serious aspect While the Southern
Pacific persists in refusing to start any OF
Its trains without including Pullman
cars in the makeup. the railroad
men generally refuse to handle trains
which would Include the tabooed cars
The general strike ordered by the Ameri-
can Railway Union has intensified the
strain. Hundreds of railroad employees
rallied yesterday to the strikers banners,
the entire coast division was tied up and
railroad yards and shops closed for lack
*of HANDS. The first blood was drawn in
Oakland. where the excitement sp-
preached dangerous pitch.
= In the meantime, owing to the irrespon-
sibIe position of the railroad, the public
interests are seriously suffering. Mail
has been delayed and the fruit Industry
is In danger of being ruined by the en-
forced state Of blockade. The rights of

The ferry-boRts W hich ran on their usual
half-hourly time to the mole were so light
that they made poor landings, swinging
about to every eddy. OF the tide. But few
people were TO be seen in the depot. A
few conductors and engineers or an assist
ant superintendent wandering listlessly
around was all. Most of the local force OF
engineers and conductors were in Sacra-
mento.
The only excitement during the daytime
al the mole was furnished when Master
Mechanic Mckenzie would essay to get
out some local train and at the last mo-
ment the fireman would quit. Mckenzie
did rot 90 out on the overland the night
before as stated. He switched that train
and then returned to Oakland The
Seventh-street local was running about
every hour yesterday. though that was by
no means certain.
Notices were posted at the mole on the
bulletin boards during the day TO the
effect that passengers wishing to return to
the city would be permitted to do so by
showing their railroad tickets at the gates.
Later in the day A. n. Towne sent out
the following circular dispatch from c. P.
Huntington: All division superinteDd-
ents: have just received the following
telegram from President c. P. Huntington,
which have bulletined for information OF
all employees:
4. N. TOUne: Your dispatch received and ]
am very glad there is a prospect OF moving our
trains. Felt quite sure that when men OF the
Southern Pacific understood the question and
learned that it was not a grievance between
them and the Southern Pacific Company they
would stand by us, and l shall continue to be-
lleve so until have had further evidence that
they will desert us. 1t is terrible annoyance
to the public who use our roads and also to us,
particularly so because our men have no griev-
ance against us, as we own a large majority OF
the so-c called Pullman cars. Endeavor to make
the men understand this whole matter fully
for am quite sure that when they do we shall
have no trouble. The sleeping cars must run
with the trains 10 which they properly belong
We owe IL 10 the public and to ourselves as
American citizens not to take sides in this fight
between certain parties and the Pullman Com.
pany OF Chicago. as you very well know, my
sympathies always go out TO the wageworkers
eve rywhere and particularly to those in our
employ, but we must carry out the right as we
understandable right. c. P. HUNTINGTON.
In view of the fact that the system was
tied up and practically no trains running,
the circular caused a broad grin of irony
ON every readers face.
