STRIKE OVER BOY PLUMBERS.
Building Trades Men Stop Work
at Hotel Marie Antoinette.
st. Cloud Workmen Likely to Quit
on Monday.

The one hundred and fifty building
trades men employed on the new Hotel
Marie Antoinette. West Sixty-seventh
street and the Boulevard, who struck
Thursday and yesterday. were hanging
about the building anxious to go to work
this morning.
The six plumbers who caused the
strike were at work, however, and mean
to stick 1t out unless they are ordered
away by the owners of the building.
The trouble grew out OF the split In the
Plumbers Union some time ago over the
question as TO the number of boys who
ought to be employed. The Progressive
Plumbers Union will not have boys
working on Job where they perform
mems duties and receive boys pay.

Delegates. Matters reached a climax
Thursday and the painters walked out
| followed by the plasterers yesterday.
The delegates held conference last
night. and a striker said this morning
that not a hand would be raised until
the six plumbers were sent away.
It was said yesterday that the agen,
of William Flanagan. the brewer. owner

| morning, he had not shown up. The DIFF.
fculty may be adjusted by Monday.
There was no strike ordered at the st
Cloud Hotel, 81 oadway and Forty-sec.

grievance with the plumbers exists there
On the st. Cloud building less than one
hundred plasterers and laborers Of the
building trades were at work. Three
plumbers. two journeyman and a boy
| were st work.
The Board Of Walking Delegates visited
the building this afternoon and went
away. The strike will be ordered Mon

AGED, DYING, DESTITUTE.
Pitiable Plight Of Mrs. Stratton, 90,
and Her Daughter, 81.

Mrs. Agnes Stratton. ninety-nine years
old, Is lying on her death-bed, and her
daughter, Lizzie Stratton. whose silver
locks prove her sixty-five years, broken
in health, but with fortltude seldom met
with, is trying to make the last days of
her old mother as comfortable as posi-
BILE.
Their home at u East Fifty-arst street
has been visited lately by dire misfor-
tune. Up to few months ago the
STATIONS were comparatively comfort
able. Sister Agnes was alive then, and
her skill with the needle and tape meas
ure brought In enough money to pay the
rent and furnish the little family Of
three with abundant food.
But consumption had Its dread grasp
on Agnes. and last Christmas day she
took to her bed. Five weeks ago the lit
tie fund that the maiden sisters had put
by with which to bury their aged mother
away was used up to pay for Agnes s
funeral.
Lizzie's falling sight makes It impos
sible for her to continue the dressmaking
business her sister Agnes had built up,
and since her daughters death the old
lady has been lowering between life and
death. 30 that Lizzie has not dared to
leave her to go in search OF work,
Pride and spirit of independence has
prevented her appealing to the few
friends she has. The rent is two months
overdue. and the agent is going to come

the house TO give him. It Is hardly ne
cessary to tell charitable people more,

There appears to be little anxiety on
the part OF Gen. Fitzgerald and his

railroad strike extending to Buffalo. If
any exists there Is at least a simua-
ton OF Indifference in the meagre in

Gen. Fitzgerald remained at his Sum

MAILS MANY DAYS LATE.
Five Days behind Time, and Much

The strike continues to seriously inter
fcre with prompt arrival of the mails,
which get here after an uncertain fash
ion from an hour to four and five days
behind time. The local office experiences
the greatest difficulty in properly ham

the resources OF the Department to their
utmost.
No mail has been received from Salt

M A,.o,,.t.d p-..sN

WASHINGTON, July THE Treasury
officials have been compelled to stop all
shipments OF cash to points west Of the
Ohio River, in consequence of the
strikes. Under their contracts with the
Government, the express companies are
not liable for losses incurred in conse
quence of riots or other unlawful acts
OF that character, and, acting under
tracts. the several express companies
have notified the officials that they Will
not accept cash for shipment to points
west OF Ohio. Kentucky, Tennessee,
Mississippi and Louisiana.
This situation is particularly unfortu-
nate at this time. as pensions are now
being paid In Chicago. and money is
needed there for that purpose.

poor success in their efforts to gain sup
