Signorina Charre and her brother An
gelo went to a christening in the house,
81 Withers street. last night, and among
the other guests was Rane, who seemed
greatly smitten with the charms Of
~SiGnorina Charre, and was so devoted in
his attentions that her brother objected.
The discussion grew louder and fierc-
er. and finally both men drew stilettos
and attacked each other. Miss Charre,
hoping to stop the fight. ran between
them, and received n stab wound in the
side. She dropped to the noor uncon-
scious, n the fight stopped at once.
Both brother and lover threw away
their knlve and bent over the oman
trying to revive her. Another one of the
guests summoned a police officer, and he
arrested the two men.

any great success. The two stilettos

CARPENTERS sEEKA COMBINE
May Try to Force Other Trades
into Submission.
Leaders Arc Attempting to Effect a
Reconciliation.

Labor's fight against labor. which has
long been brewing In this city, and
which was openly declared yesterday by
the proclamation of n strike by the
Board Of Walking Delegates Of the local
trades unions against the Brotherhood
Of Carpenters, seems very remote from
amicable settlement to-day.
The brotherhood of Carpenters. which
is the most powerful Union in the
city, and numbers 5000 men, is said
to hint at organizing a combination
with the Steamhtters and Elevator
Constructors unions. which shall COM
pei the other th.rty-three trades in
the city to quit their present Affiliations

Henry II, Trenor, Genera Treasurer.
and l.. j. Mcclure, General Secretary. of
the, United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and J%oiners, arrived in this city yester-
day. and after investigating the causes
that led to the strike against the mem-
bers OF their Organization came to the
conclusion that the carpenters were jus
titled In refusing to obey the order Of the
Board Of Walking Delegates to strike
against the steamtitters, and that con-
s~equently the strike against the Carpeu-
ters was unjustilable, as there was no
principle involved, but only n tight
competing organizations.
Messrs, Trenor and Mcclure Will pro-
pose "A conference Cf all unions engaged
in the present struggle. 1t will also be
proposed that In tie future no steps ne
taken by local boards against unions
affiliated with National organizations.
unless the officers OF the latter have
been consulted.
At tho meeting of the Board last night
the delegates received and read n letter
from Edward Il. Cooper, President of the
Mutual Reserve Fund Association, pro-
posing a conference with representatives
of the Board. This was accepted.
Tomorrow the central Labor Union
will meet AT Clarendon Hall and Will dis

Out of the 1900 in New Utrecht about

lamps at Sl0.10 each would cost $50, 800, or
a grand total Of Sal. 400.
But Boss Furgueson expended $4,000 OF
the taxpayers money for lamp-posts
which can be purchased for SAL, 400. Here
is a shortage of nearly 5000 O
Who got this money?
The gas company, under its contract,
places all lamp-posts in position free OF
charge, so there remains nothing for the
town to pay except the stated price for
each lamp and post, and the annual eX-
penditure of $2S for gas for each lamp.
Recently additional lamps have been
furnished as needed by the gas company
instead of by the contractors, the town
paying the gas people the same price as
was paid Drummond and Miner.
The difference between the real cost of
the lamps and posts and the price actu-
ally paid by the town of New Utrecht,
Is about 81 on each lamp complete.
Taxpayers of New Utrecht will think
about this when they cast their ballots
at the town election on Tuesday next.
