GERRY STRIKE ENDED.
His Contractors Agree to Use No
More FOreign-Nade Marble.

The strikers on ex-Commodore FL
bri lge T. Gerry's new mansion. Sixty
first street and Fifth avenue, have
gained a signal victory. and are now at
work again.
The strike was ordered three weeks
ago by tire walking delegates because
the contractors, Allard & Sons. were en-
pieces manufactured in Paris.
A rule adopted June ! last by the
trades unions forbids the employment of
either foreign or convict-made materials.
Hence, when the contractors announced
their intention of putting in the Partisan
mantel-pieces at all hazards. the Board
of Walking Delegates ordered every
union workingman in the place TO
strike. This was the first enforcement
OF the new iule.
Mr.. Bouche, the manager for the con-
tracing firm, after vainly trying to fil
the strikers places, requested confer
committee from this body waited upon
him at his FIRMS office, Fifth avenue,
near Thlrty-ninth street, and he submit
ted a proposition, which the committee
promised to lay before its constituents.
The proposition was that, inasmuch as
a great loss would be entailcd upon the
firm by the rejection OF the Partisan
mantel-pie ,eS they should be permitted
to put them up In Mr.. Gerry's house In
consideration OF their promise to use no
more imported materials hereafter.
The trades unions consented to the prop
osition, and yesterday Allard & Sons
signed formal agreement not to use
any foreign marble decorations hereaf-

ROCHESTER,, June 21.-Stephen Kirk,

phone Company, was working this morn
ing on tall pole on which there was a
network of telephone, electric light,
telegraph and street-car trolley wires
A fellow workman let the wire on
which Kirk was working sag too much
and 1t touched the trolley wires. Kirk
grasped 1t and received the full force of
the current from the trolley wires. Agon-

as he endeavored to free himself from

mercy. He struggled for moment.

LOOKS LIKE kERWIN.
Color to the Rumor that Hes to
Be a Police Justice
Mayor Gilroy Is Nom Committal as
= to His Intentions.
Adnaits taat Charges Have Been
Made Against the Ex-Collector.

The rumor that Mayor Gllroy contem-
plated the appointment of Gen. Michael
kerwin. late Collector of Internal Rev
enue for the Second District, as Police
Justice to succeed Justice Solon b.
Smith, received some color to-day.
Ever since the rumor first became cur
rent. Mayor Gilroy has avoided speak
ing explicitly concerning his intentions.
1t was, learned to-day. however. that
certain people opposed to Mr.. Kerwin
were SO positive of Mr.. Gllroy's inten-
tion to appoint him that few days ago
a delegation waited upon the Mayor and
entered vigorous protest.
Gen. Kerwin has, 1t Is said, incurred
the enmlty Of the great body OF Irlshmen
in New York by his alleged bias In favor
of the Cronln murderers which he ex-
pressed in his paper, The Tablet, which
fs said to have since gone out Of exist
ence.
1t was this strong prejudice against
Kelvin which prompted the delegation
to wait upon Mayor Gilroy.
When asked to-day concerning the mat
ter. the Mayor at first declined to talk.
but finally reconsldered his decision to
the extent of saying that he had no inr
tention of making any appointments at
present.
The reporter then asked:
isn't It fact, Mr.. Mayor, that dele
CATION of Irishmen saw you few days
ago in regard to the appointment of Gen.
K5erwin as Police Justice iu. to sue succeed
against Gen. Kerwin?'
IA delegation did call upon me, having
heard; from what source ! know not.
v,pptnoppt and made a lnt of ridiculous
charges against Gen. Kirwin in an en-
deavor to connect him with the Clan-na;,
Gael. The charges were not supported
self" replied the Mayor,
isn't 1t also a fact that you stated
on that occasion. that you wanted all
the onered the Sen repefter
mo. l did nJt put 1t in that way.
was the reply. I" said that | would not
consider aspersions on the character OF
such charges were, put In writing. l
would pay no attention to them
Here are some of the charges writ
ten out but they are 1cS not SSsned as You
anonymous communication.
a. Then you have not Mr.. Kerwin in
mind as successor to Justice SMITH"
~ will not say that. but he has no
preference in my mind over any other
Candidate. In fact, / have not yet had
any candidates presented to me; What
ever appointment Is made VIII not be
made for some time yet.
"If l should say now that / did not
intend to appoint Gen. Kerwin. 1t would
not be fair to that gentleman. as i'm
plying that I had been Influenced by the
charges made by the delegation which
waited upon me a few days ago."
Among politicians who profess to be
office, however. It Is generally accepted
as a fact that Gen. Kerwin has been
slated to succeed Justice Smith, who is
O hold-over and at present very Ill at
able disease.
1t is also the opinion of those same
political tipsters that the Mayor Will
not act contrary to his often-expressed
opinion that it was not the thing to re-
move a sick man from office.
