NON-UNION MEN AT WORK.
No sympathetic Strike Yet-Pacfffc
Measures Taken

NEW YORK, Nov. 26, 1S95.-The strike
of the housesmiths against J. B. & J. M.
Cornell and Milliken Bros, assumed a new
phase this morning. when the two firms
carried out their threat made to their en-
ployes, by putting non-union men at work
on their most hurried jobs. At IL o'clock
about eighty ironworkers had been put TO
work on the big building of Seigel Cooper
& Company on Sixth avenue to take the
place of the strikers. The other workmen,
masons, hod-carriers and laborers, to the
number of about three hundred are at work
and will not be disturbed. The pickets of
the strikers are busy here and there among
the applicants endeavcring to induce them
to refrain from going to work. The pickets
and the other old employees say that they will
use only pacific measures and that violence
will not be resorted to.
{ j. B. and j, M. Cornell sent a gang of
men to the building at Broadway and Prince
street, one of the buildings which have been
completely tied up by the strike.
At the office OF the Cornells it was said
thata number of men had been engaged to
take the places of the strikers. They had
been sent to some of the buildings where
work has been at stapdstill.
The strikers meet the statements of the
iron firms that they will employ non-union
men with the assertion that iron workers,
either union or non-union men, cannot be
found in sufficient numbers to advance the
work on any of the buildings.

FINE JOURNALISTS. THESE
Three Jersey City Newspaper Men
Ask for Subsidies.
From The Redf7ly Record


After having inspected the new boulevard
from end to end on Monday, the members of
the Hudson County Board of Freeholders
with several reporters, were driven in
coaches to Kearny AID rendered banquet
at Schuler's hotel in Arlington by Mr.. Geo.
F. Woolston, manager of the Kearny Elec-
trio Light and Power Company, who
is also agent for the Standard Elec-
trio Company of Chicago, a concern
which equips lighting plants. This CON-
pany has a sub-contract for lighting the
boulevard, and Mr. Woolston was anxious
to prove to the freeholders the superiority
of a new lamp which he was anxious to
provide instead of certain one mentioned
in the specifications the freeholders ap-
peared to think that the county would not
suffer by the substitution.
Just prior to leaving for Jersey City,
three newspapermen of that place called
Mr. Wcolston aside and tried to impress
him with the belief that it was in their
power to influence the county authorities
for or against his new style lamps If he
would be willing to bribe each of them
with $40 they would agree to write report
that would be most fattering to Mr.. Wool
ston, but if he declined to accede to their re-
quest they would do the reverse. The man
ager put the three fellows off with some
plausible excuse, but they returned to him
soon afterward and offered to sell themselves
for the modest sum of S. apiece Mr.. Wool
ston replied that he had made no provision
for such subsidies, and told the reporters to
do as they pleased They seemed thoroughly
crestfallen, and left vowing vengeance on
the electric light man.
The above article was published on Satur-
day. The attention of the editor of ''The
Newsp> was directed to it yesterday. The
slitor of 'sThe News" last evening and this
morning personally investigated the facts.
which appear to be to all intents and pur-
point is as to the exact degree of response
bility of each of the three reporters for the
shameful act
So far as lies within its province, "The
News will do all in its power to have all
three punished, according to the degree Of
their guilt, as ascertained when the investi-
cation IS completed.
Moreover, ''The Nsws" will publish the
final result of the inquiries, which are still
in progress.

THERE'S MORE MONEY IN IT

HobollenS S Reform League, composed
of local clergymen who have conducted
a relentless war against liquor selling,
were greatly shocked this morning to
learn that well known preacher had
migrated from Jersey City and opened
a saloon in their bailiwick.
The man who thus concluded that there
was more money in selling rum than
preaching the Gospel, for he contesses
that he made the change solely from a
financial point of view, is none other
than the Rev. Julius Feicke late pastor
of the First German Evangelical Church.
Monmouth street, Jersey City His
wife and sons are with him, and all seem
to be happy in their new departure.
WHY HE RESIGNED.
The ex-Rev. Mr.. Feicke resided at No.
AL York street. He rendered his resig-
nation on July last to take effect on
September l. His salary was 500 per
year and he wanted more. The elders
told him that there was a mortgage on
the church for 5000, and that they We're
paying him all they could afford. He
was told that when the debt Was 3 raised
his application would be considered.

porter this morning with considerable
grief as she has only $100 more, she
says, to her credit.
A few days after procuring this money
Feicke'S resignation as pastor OF Ihe
church took effect and he went to Hobo

Garden streets. He was seen there Thls

''You see we have religious meetings

here as I could in the church. Mrs.
Feicke sat contentedly in a big arm

NOW FOR WAR.

aud Hook for Blood.
The Minkakwa Club at it's melting last
evening by a unanimous vote accepted
the challenge of the Greenvile League
Club. and from now on it will be war to
the knife. The Minkakwas decided up
on this action after the following re-
port had been received from the Harmony
Committee
To the Members of the Minlaiwa Club:
Gentlemen-Your Campaign Committee
respectfully reports that for the success
of the Republican party in our State and
city, the Minkakwa Club entered into an
agreement with the Republican League
Club September 20, 1894, to share all del
egates. patronage, etc., and to support
but one ticket at all primary elections.
The Minkakwa Club has faithfully car
ried out every article of that agreement
with the League Club. 1t appears that
this state of affairs did not suit a ma
jority of the members of the League Club.
Personal fights at the last two prirnar-
les between some of its own members
they take as an excuse to sever all har-
nlonybetwelan the two clubs. ThePresident
of the League Club informed few mem
bers Of our Conference Committee that
the Leagues Committee would not meet
with ours. and that all agreements be-
tween the two clubs are off. A few
days later resolutions We're passed by the
League Club to that effect and printed
in the daily papers, but no notice what
ever was sent to the Minkakwa Club.
The Campaign and Conference Com
mitteeS of the Minkakwa Club regret
this state of affairs. We believe sin
union there is strength" Local dis
cords and dissensions will turn the VIC
tories of the Republican party of the past
few years into defeat.
In harmony also there is strength; in
strife, party disaster. We believe in
party principles and harmony above all

and personal Spites; not in the principles

WATER LAST WORDS
Farewell Hearing at the Great
Certiorari Show This
Morning.

The water certiorari hearings have re-
Gently developed a series of fareweH per-
formances a la Patti Each day eounsel
for the Jersey City Water Company
the city, the East Jersey Water Com
pany and the remaining prosecutors an
nounce that before night they will close
but somehow one side would like to put
in this and offer that and ask a few ques-
tions about the other, and so an adjourn
ment is necessary.
The fourth farewell performance open
ed this morning in Chancery Chambers
before Supreme Court Commissioner
John A Nugent, with Engineer James R.
Croes in the witness chair Mr.. Charles
L. Corbin wished to recall the expert to
verify tables of figures showing rain
fall and other data These tables were
substitutes offered in place of others put
in They We're offered in evidence but
not without an objection from ex-senator
w. D. Edwards, who, while not object
ing to the substitution, insisted that the
conditions assumed in the tables had
not been proved.
Mrs. Croes said that, in computing, the
tables of Lake Hopatcong's run-off pre-
sented were based on formulae obtained
from the State Geological Survey. The
computa tion of the Sudbury River tables
of data concerning rainfall and run-off,
he said, was based on records.
1--WE object to these records because
they could have been produced and are
not" interposed Mr.. Edwards again.
Mr.. Croes answered this by producing
data submitted to the City Of Boston's
Water Works, from which he had derived
his Information.
Upwards of an hour was consumed by
Mr.. Croes in explaining his tables of
rainfall at Lake Hopatcong, and during
nesses were yawning and looking mex
pressibly bored. The thrilling account of
figures was resumed when Mr.. Corbin
began to ask questions about the Morris
Canals source of supply, Lake Hopat-
cong.
Then Mr.. Croes, in a monotonous tone
reeled off the following data relative to
that place Its watershed is 25 4-1O square
miles; its area 8 $40 square miles; it's
storage capacity is Is 1-2 square miles ON
the water shed, which is equivalent to a
storage of 222,000, 600 gallons per square
mile. and has a daily yield of 71400O gall
Ions per square miles.
Mr.. Croes said that from the source
to Dover the canal could not be sup
piled with water alone from that source.
and from that point to Pompton it would
need 2l,S0o,0oO gallons daily.
The object of Mr.. Corbin's questions
that if the Jersey City Water Com
pany's scheme goes through the canal
will suffer damage, from the streams on
feeders to the canal, being diverted into
reservoirs for the defendant company.
CANAL CoMPANY's CLAIM.
The Canal Company set UP that by
their charter they have an .frrepeaiable
necessary for for the navigation of their
