NO DOMESTIC MARBLE
Gerry's Contractors Say They Will
Use Only Foreign Material.
The Strike on His Building Further
Away from Settlement.
Forty-one More Men Out on the
Fifty-ninth Street Structure.

The strike on ex-Commodore Elbridge
T. Gerry's mansion, Fifth avenue and
Sixty-first street, seemed more remote
from settlement than ever THIS morning.
There was a Misrepresentation between
the strikers and Allard & Sons, of 437
Fifth avenue, the contractors, the clear
ing up Of which has caused greater i'll
feeling than has heretofore existed.
1t seems that the Objectionable i'm

Of which the strike was ordered, were re-
moved yesterday. and the strikers be-
lieved that his was lone as a con-
cession to their demand. This morning,
however Mr.. Bouche, the representative
Of Allard & Sons, met several walking
delegates in front of Mr.. Gerry's man
sion and told them that the marble had
been removed because 1t was found that
1t belonged to another building and had
been taken to Mr.. Gerry's by mistake.
Does hat mean that you are going
to put up mantels of American make
in Mr.. Gerry's building?" asked Walk
ing Delegate Schulze, Of the Brother
hoo of Carpenters.
by no MEANS" replied Mr.. Bouche.
1--WE have imported marble mantel-
pieces in our store, waiting to be
brought here. and we intend putting
them in as soon as we are able"
While this conversation vas taking
place two union painters got into the
house by a rear door, which was then
locked from the outside by a watch
man.
AS soon as this became known Mr..
Bouche laid: you see we shall not
lack for men to put up the mantels as
soon as we get ready for that work"
The delegates admitted that the W
men h had gone into the house were
union painters, but they did not believe
that the latter would do any work,
and said they had only gone in to get
their paints and brushes. But even II
they did work. the strikers said they
should not be molested In n violent
way.
The non-union Frenchmen who are
putting up the ornamental ironwork of
the porte-cochere were not annoyed by
the strikers this morning, either.
struck on the building at Fifty-ninth
street, ear Third avenue, yesterday, on
account of the grievances of the paint
ers. f%orty-one men were ordered to
strike to-day. 1t seems that there had
been only one union painter. n he was
ordered to strike because the other
painters employed by Master Painter
George Sauer were %n5i-union men, and
the wages was, 1t Is claimed, only $3.50
per day, which is 81 less than union
wages.
Three of the n%on-union painters struck
cut of sympathy for their solitary union
comrade. leaving only tour painters now
at work on the place. The fifteen men
who vent out yesterday comprised
painters, laborers, varnishers, plaster
ers and carpenters.
Those ordered out to-day are eight
wiremen, four steamfitters, four steam
filters helpers, ten artihcial-stone ma
sons and fifteen trainers.

cultural communities In the United

Special 10 The Republic.
Columbia, S. g., April 26.-The re-
cent Supreme Court decision against
the dispensary law was very cloudy as
to the status in which the abolition OF
the State bar system left the liquor
law. The City Council of Chester has
passed an ordinance declaring that,
whereas liquor is being publicly sold
In that city, aud that on account ofthe
annoyance resulting 10 the people from
the flagrant violation of the laws
against selling intoxicants, all places
where such sale Is carried on are to
be deemed nuisances. Tbe ordinance
commands the local police to abate
them AVID imposes a fiue of not less
than 500 or imprisonment for 20 days
for violations. This is the first action
to be taken by The municipal authori-
ties and It Ia believed that liquor deal
ers will at once formulate an issue for
the Supreme Court to test Its legality.
II Is therefore regarded with special
interest as affecting the whole State.

MISSISSIPPI BLAEEB THE WAY,

Since Mississippi in her famous and
most benign Constitutional Conyeu-
ton broke the chain OF negro suffrage,
Arkansas. Virginia and Alabama have
followed in her pathway with restrie-
uons which reduce that evil curse to
semi-harmlessness. The following les
titles to The workings of the new ruIo
with our neighbor across the river:
The Democratic County Convention
'oon 10 be held in Desha county will
settle practically the campaign Of the
present year. Four years ago this
could not have been reliably stated.
But under the happy ballot system Of
to-day the party has been released
from the burden of overwhelming
maJorities on the other side, and where
ignorance and darkness held full sway
intelligence and sunshine rule instead |;
where political night reigned supreme
the intelligent white man is favored
with political light. The Australian
ballot Is the light. Desha saw the
way by 1t two years ago, and in Lin
coin and Chicot and Jefferson II is
burning as brightly Is II did here then.
IL remains with Democrats to increase
its velocity. Set half-busbel over 1t
II you please, but you can't put it out.
II will continue to burn as long as the
law lasts, and If 1t makes feeble light
1t Is the fault of those who trim the

What a contrast is here presented
to the old condition eau oe seen. un-
fortunately, without turning 10 the
leaves Of past records. What Missis-
sippi and Arkansas once experienced
still prevails In South Carolina. The
following from the Columbia State
presents a picture which we once had
al our own doors:
We are the slaves Of our former
slaves. Without word, without al
