CARPENTERS AND J0|NERS
E. R. Johnson Selected as the
Walking Delegate Last
Evening.
Annual Election of Officers in Unions
483 and 3o4-Jelge's New
House.

The election of walking delegate for the
carpenters and joiners of this City was
held last evening, and resulted in the Sc
lection of E. r. Johnson, who holds the
position at the present time. This cleo
ton has caused more union politics than
any other event for years past. In the
first place, there is 81 day salary in the
position, and the walking, or business
agent, as he is called, is never obliged to
get out and hustle for job. Again, the
term of office is six months, and the APP
proach of winter made it more than usually
desirable.
Several days ago the district council
called for mass-meeting of all the union
carpenters in the City, and last evening
the Temple, on Turk street, was filled.
There were at least ten candidates in the
field, but union politics are similar to
other politics, and before the first ballot
was cast half a dozen were pulled down.

The annual election of officers of Car

held Monday evening at 1859 Mission
street, and the following were chosen:

A pleasing report was made. which was
received with a hearty applause. The
present financial secretary, William Jelge,
undertook to build little house for him.
self on Bernal Heights. He was putting
in odd hours in the construction of his fu-
ture home, but at best the progress was
slow. On Sunday morning he was much
surprised at the appearance Of number
of his fellow union workmen in their every
day clothes and carrping their kits OF
tools. In a short time a dozen men
were ON the ground. and at a given
signal they all pulled off their coats
and went to work, sides, ends,
rafters and roof went up like magic, and
before the sun went down Jelge enjoyed
the pleasure of standing in his own COM
pleted house. With a cheer his friends
babe him good evening and with feeling
that they had put in an enjoyable days
work. 1t would have taken month OF
more for Jelge to have put up the house
by himself.

avocation to take up another.
To prevent all this nefarious work, the
Wagner ordinance was framed. This
measure. however, is too sweeping. and
while doing good in one way must neces-
sarily do great injury to the State in
others.
The Ellert ordinance still holds good,
and may be easily enforced. Let the police
clear these bucket-shops out, and arrest
those people who insist on violating the
law. In day or two there will be no
necessity for the Wagner ordinance.

Fire Destroys the Famous ToWer on
BrOOklynS City Hall.
The Bell Crashed Into the Building and
Broke on Marble Floor-Lives
Saved with Difficulty.

Brooklyn, n. Y, Feb. 26.-The tower on
the city hall, one OF the oldest landmarks
in the city of Brooklyn, was destroyed by fire
to-day, and the remaining portion OF the
building damaged, principally by water.
The fire is thought to have been caused
by spark transmitted from some one OF the
electric wires which pass through the
building.
The flames were discovered by Keeper
James Dunno in some rubbish underneath
stairway leading from the second floor in
the center OF the building. The families
Of Keeper Dunno and his assistant,
Thomas Weeks, who lived in the building
were rescued with considerable difficulty
The fire communicated with the tower
which was huit entirely of wood, and
quickly destroyed it, The statue of Justice
which surmounted the tower, stood amid
the flames like specter until il fell
The bell in the tower was an old one hav-
ing been placed there i'll 1856. 1t fell
through the keepers apartments to the
marble floor on the second story, where il
broke into fragments.
Mrs. Dunno. who was in ill-health, was
completely Frustrated by the shock. The
total loss isestimated TO be $50, 600.

Another Conference Yesterday Over the
Southern Railway Schedule.
The executive officers with the feder-
ated dboardrepresentingth the railway employees
and Vice President Baldwin, of the Southern
Railway held second conference yesterday
in further discussion of the wage schedule
The gentlemen remained together during
the greater part of the afternoon revis-
ing and considering anew the points at
issue, and separated at O'Clock with the
understanding that this morning at 10
O'Clock MIR. Baldwin Will have ready som
plete written statement of the propositions
under adyisement, when another confer
ence will be held
1t is understood that the federated board
and the executive Officers have full power
to act for their organizations and that their
decision may be final, but it is probable
that the result of the deliberations will be
submitted TO the unions for their consider
alton. In case of a disagreement upon the
schedule the whole matter W i'll be referred to
them and after developments Will be
shaped by their action.
1t is not yet given out how much prog
