THE VAUGHN ESTATE.
Money in the Administrators Hands
Claimed by A, Mcdaniel.

Money in the Administrator Hands
Claimed by A, Mcdaniel.
In their report to the county
court, w. P. Lathrop, w. J. Fur
nish and Pat Kline, appraisers of
the estate of the late Henry G.
Vaughn, state that the sum Of 5000
now in the hands Of the admins
traitor, which was supposed to be-
long to deceased, is really the prop
erty Of A. Mcdaniel. From the re-
port, it seems that some years be-
fore his death, Vaughn purchased
1862 acres of government land,
which he subsequently sold to Ed.
L. Smith for $1,000. giving the pur-
chaser a bond in the sum of $1,000
for the payment of moneys which
might accrue by virtue of the terms
Of his purchase under the acts of
congress of 1885 and 1888. The
sum mentioned accrued to the lands.
Mr.. Smith assigned his interest to
Mr.. Mcdaniel, who has claimed
the money. Mr.. Mcdaniel pre-
sented the proofs of his ownership
of the money to the appraisers and
administrator, who, in turn, sub
mitted them to the county court

ACTIVE PREPARATION.
Ample Evidence Of the Near Approach OF the
knights Templar Conclave.

BOSTON, Aug. 21.-By direction of Mayor
Curtis, City Messenger Peters this morn
ing begun the decoration of city buildings
In honor Of the Knights Templar conclave.
City hall, the old state house, Faneuil
hall, the Public Library and the city stand
on Commonwealth avenue will be decor
ated.
Arrangements for the assembling and
moving Of the Sir Knights during the tri-
ennial week have been decided upon.
Full Templar uniform will be worn on all
parades and receptions. White gloves in
stead of gauntlets will be worn at recep-
lions. 1t Is left optional with each Sir
Knight as to wearing sword at receptions,
but 1t would please the right eminent
commander much better II swords are
worn on all occasions.
Punch bowls are at a premium, and
when the Knights Templar are here every
available bowl will be In use by private
individuals, Communicates and hotels.
All the large crockery stores are busy now
packing goods away In baskets and cases
to be shipped to the headquarters of the
different bodies of Sir Knights who are to
give spreads or serve collatioas.
There were 10000 triennial conclavc
badges issued by the committee and there
have been many thousands sold. Every

and has not been previously supplied has
bought one until the stock has dwindled
down.

WOMEN ARE INVOLVED
In a Big Strike Ordered by Garment
Makers of Boston.
Contract Bond Question the
Principal Hitch.
Operatives Are Fairly Wei! Organized ard Ex-
pect TO Win.

Boston, Aug. 81 49, United Garment
Workers district council No. 2 at a pro-
tracted session last night decided to order
strike In 100 shops OF tho city today
-Four thousand operatives in all will go
out on strike to enforce the demands of
the union. The union recently drew up
new list, revising prices, hours, etc., and
laid 1t before the contractors to sign. 1t
Is claimed by the union that during the
past IL months the majority of the con-
tractors have violated their agreements,
and have taken very advantage of the
garment workers In their employ.
There is a difference from previous
strikes in this one in that the women,
who constitute pretty nearly one-half tho
whole number, are involved If the strike
Ia won, the women workers will have an
average increase Of wages of from 81 to
$3.50 a week. But even with this increase
gained, the highest wages paid to the best
OF them will not exceed an average Of $S a
week.
Nobody In authority at the strikers
headquarters looks for very long strike,
although they are making all prepara-
tions for struggle to finish In case 1t
should be drawn out. In fact they wait
the result Of today's developments with
confidence. They expect many names Of
contractors will be added to the list be-
fore nightfall
The pay OF the men workers, the best
OF them, is comparatively small as COM
pared with the wages earned by en-
ployes In other industries. 1t Is a big
weeks work that brings to the men much
over e1s. and
Oftentimes the Amount IL Less.
The leaders Of the strike have no doubt
OF success. The great organization of the
garment workers and clothing workers of
New York city are with them, and their
New York brethren have just won big
strike for the same principles as are now
Involved in the Boston case.
The contract which both parties con-
cerned In the present struggle have been
working under terminates this month,
and the chief hitch In the new one, as it
was In the last one, Is the question of
bonds. or course, as has been already
stated, the rights and possible benefits of
the women are more involved this year
than ever before, but the
Bond Is the Troublesome Issue.
1t was announced by Secretary Felz last
night that all Of the contractors stood
ready to sign the agreement with the
bond clause omitted
The clothing operatives are fairly we'll
organized, their ranks this year being
largely augmented by the female workers,
who were not so we'll organized a year ago.
One of the possible outcomes of this an
nual difference between contractors and
their working people will be i'm all prob
ability an appeal to the next legislature to
appoint a committee who shall sit during
the summer and inquire into the life, hab-
its, wages and home surroundings of the
clothing workers of Boston. Such an in
vestigation as this was made in New York,
and was most beneficial to the working
people.
