REGISTER reporter. Miss MOlie Ter

operator, will have charge OF the Office
during the day, and Miss Snyder, OF the

A STRIKE FEARED.
TEE MEN UNEASY UNDER TIE PROPOSED
NEW CUT,
OF Fifteen Per Cent at tho Riverside Plate Mil.
Two Hundred Men Afscied-Ssnti-
ment Of the WOrkmsn.

A strike at the big Riverside Iron
Works is to be feared. Judging from
the talk Of many of the plate mill men
yesterday such al outcome is imminent
The REGISTER first mentioned that
on last Saturday the tonnage men in
the plate mill department were notified
of another reduction, which would
amount TO about IS ger cent. In the
plate mill the cut Will affect two hun
dred persons on all turns.
Last Monday the la6orers OF the plate
mill were also notified Of 10 per cent
cut, to take effect next Monday. This
will cut these mems pay from SL20 TO
less than dollar and ten cents day.
In the plate mill this makes about,
on an average, 4 reduction Of 40 per
cent. since the mill was started nearly
three months ago On the night turn
last Monday night, it is reported, that
nearly all the men said they would not
accept the cut, while those seen
yesterday by a representative
Of this paper, also talked
Of refusing to accept the proposed cut
However, in the cases of some Of the
men the reduction will not go into effect
before thirty days from last Saturday
As has been stated, strike at the
tuce works was averted for the time
few weeks ago, when the men we're cut
10 per cent more. 1t is not improbable
from the outlook and sentiment of the
mil men, that IL the plate mill work
men strike, they will be followed by
tho tube workers. If this is done no
other parts of the immense plant can
be operated successfully.
Workmen also fear other reductions
at the furnace and the steel works
Already furnace operators have been
reduced Is per cent. on an average and
the steel workers about 35 per cent.

THE CASUALTY RECORD.
The Accidents Reported From About the
CITY Yesterday.


The residence Of David O'Leary, in
Henderson's addition, up Jon2than's
ravine, is in danger Of going over the
steep embankment. The dwelling is a
frame structure situated about fifty feet
above the bed OF the ravine and about
one hundred yards west Of the Wheel
ing Bridge and Terminal tunnel, and
fronts an East First street. 1t IS
three room dwelling and cost 5000.
Some time ago the building began TO
slip little and the continued rains OF
Monday caused the chimney, which is
in the center of the house, TO topple
over at an angle OF about thirty
degrees, and moved the entire build
ing and side walk with it, 1t
moved about o'clock yesterday
morning while the family was asleep.
When they realized the situation they
began 10 scream and aroused the neigh
bors, who came TO their assistance and
had Mrs. OLeary and her three chill
dren removed. Afterwards their friends
carried the household goods TO a place
o. safety. The cold weather checked
any further slipping and gave Mr..
O'LearY a chance TO place props under
the house and this way prevent IL from
going over the embankment. II will be
a hard blow on Mr.. O'Leary If it is
wrecked. as he built it out of the build
ing association.

KELLAR, THE MAGICIAN.
An Excellent Entertainment at the Opera
House Lat Night.

Kellar, the prestidigitateur, assisted
by his wife, entertained fair-sized
audience at the Opera House last night.
Those who have seen Hermann pro-
nounce Kellar his superior. The latter
certainly excels in sleight-Of-
work, and his special illusions are
mostly original, aud completely mysti-
flying. "Astarte, the Maid Of the
Moon" "Oh," "Out OF Sight" and
"Flyto," are features which never fail
to interest the audience. Probably the
most wonderful experiment, as Kellar
terms his tricks, is "Cagliostro, or the
Casadaga Propaganda" in which he is
assisted by the ghost Of Cagllostro the
famous italian maestro. "Karmos" is a
development of that mysterious ex
change Of spirit which is termed mind
reading.
Kellar claims no supernatural power,
and some of his tricks are marvellous.
The entertainment is clean and whole
some, and asst will be repeated tonight
the house should be crowded.
