The employees of the company on Mon
day, to the number Of 800, went on
strike. The wages due the strikers
amounts to nearly S2S, 900, 1t was rumored
among the strikers that they were to re-
ceive their wages yesterday, and they were
very much surprised to find the works in
possession Of the deputy sheriffs.
When the company first learned that the
strikers meant to fight for their money
Secretary Lyle notified Sheriff Serviss, of
Middlesex county. One hundred special
deputies were then sworn in. Sheriff Ser
viss himself appeared ON the scene later.
When he saw the large number of strikers,
and learned that they had thrown out
pickets and that men were in hiding in
trenches nearby, waiting for the signal to
attack the works, he became alarmed He
said his men were not prepared to face SO
large body of strikers unless they had
authorities at Trenton for fifty Winches-
ters and to New York for fifty pistols and
ammunition.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Robert w Lyle,
secretary and manager of the company,
drove up to the works The men grew
greatly excited, and Deputies Houssell and
Flaherty marched out the reserves they
had held within the works For hours the
strikers and the deputies faced each other
thus on either side of the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks.
Ten minutes after he arrived Mr. Lyle
received committee of the strikers. Mr..
Lyle told the men that the money due
them was in the bank, but it could not
be paid until certain legal matters were
adjusted IF you go to work tomorrow,
said Mr.. Lyle, you'll be paid for one days
work tomorrow night. If you don't go to
work you must not prevent others from
working We must open the works at
once" !" H'

THE proper ventilation of churches is
very properly beginning to attract rea-
Sonable share of public attention. That
some OF our churches are badly ventilated
no one who has ever attended during SER
vice when they are crowded will dispute.
Most persons are afraid of draughts, and
very properly, but it does not appear to
nave entered into the minds of the masses
of church Roers that there is as much
danger In churches that have little or no
ventilation as in those that are affected
with drauRhts. The air in an air-tight
ehurch becomes vitiated, and is therefore
Dernicious and poisonous. Pure air has
Lifs.giving qualities, of which it is
eobbed IN such edifoes by being breathed
and rebreathed many times over. It
needs not the saying that the breath of
many persons, men and women, is In the
highest degree offensive, the offensiveness
always proceeding from some disease.
Each respiration from such mouths and
throats carries with it into the atmosphere
poisonous air, which, of course, mingles
with the atmosphere, and is taken In
divided quantities into other lungs where
1T may impart disease. A great many
persons never think Of this danger, not to
speak Of the disgust naturally inspired
10y the contemplation of the subject.
Individual cups are beginning to take the
place Of the chalice at communion sea-
sons in quite number of churches, and
purely on hygienic grounds. The change
is 10 be commended, though 1t makes the
administration of the Sacrament less inn
pressive; but those familiar with the i'll
effects Of breathing such vitiated cir as
that sure to abound in badly ventilated
churches viii agree that between the
ewo evils the danger from it is very much
greater than from the use OF the old
fashioned chalice.
