served Sn Es stern titles.
New York, April 3e.-The movement
for the eisht-hour work day, which was
inaugurated seven years ago by the
Federation Of Labor, will be duly cele-
brated in this vicinity tomorrow and
Saturday. The United Brotherhood OF
Carpenters and Joiners of the trans
Harlem and Westchester districts, num-
bering about 400, have completed all
their arrangem ents for the adoption and
enforcement Of the eight-hour demand
and they expect that the big majority
Of the members in that territory will
get the shorter hours without difficulty.
No trouble or strike is anticipated and
the movement above the Harlem river
will be directed by the carpenters dis
trict councils under the personal super
vision Of the general president of the
brotherhood, Owens. 1t is expected
that the Horseshoers of this city, Brook
lyn and Jersey City would take part in
the short-day movement, but it is claim
ed that they are not in position to
make a stand, through insufficient or
ganization.
During the past few years the inroads
made by cable, electric and other horse
less means of transportation have
thrown a large number of horseshoers
out of employment and the men are
therefore very careful not to take any
action which might proce unsuccessful.
A good many OF the new agreements of
labor organizations in this city will go
into effect tomorrow, among them being
several sections OF the building trades,
painters and laborers.
There viii be several celebrations of
the movements anniversary and the So
ciaists will have a parade, followed by
demonstration in Union Square on
Saturday night.

Cripple Creek, Colo, April SO.-A mass

lie to show that Cripple Creek is not dis
couraged by its misfortunes:
Cripple Greek has grown with the
development of the greatest gold min
ing district on earth. in which it is sit
uated, and it's peTu1anence and business
value is dependent on its location Many
Of our business and residence buildings
have been destroyed by two terrible
fires within the past week. The town.
in the center of the richest known dis
trict in the world, remains and it's ciFi-
zeas who have built it from a stock
ranch four years ago to a city Of 10000
inha bitants at present, believe that its
location and many advantages offer a
greater opportunity for their energies
than ever They desire to announce
through the great press of the country
that they have lost their homes and
their business blocks. but their pluck is
left and they are already starting
magnificent city on the ruins Of the old.
Some aid in the rebuilding will be re-
quired from the more fortunate resi-
dents OF other cities, but only such as
can be fully secured to the lenders, and
only such as is usual in business trans
actions between business msn. The
fearful rapidity and widespread de-
struction of the fires which threatened
the destruction Of almost the entire
town, were due to the fiimsy construc-
ton of the buildings erected during the
rapid growth of a mining town With
more men employed and more miners
daily producing gold than any other
mining camp in the United States, add
ing ST.. 000, OOo per year to the gold stock
of the world, with more capital and
greater population than ever before and
the security afforded by widely extend
ed fire limits. we are building a per-
manent town, and feel that its wealth
and the nature of it's resources offer 10
capital more productive and paying in
vestments than any other field, and we
cordially invite the investing pubic TO

Another Fatal Accidcnt.

Last Wednesday right about
half past niue o'clock another
very sad aud fatal accident oc-
CARED in the n. & w. yards, in
which Charles p. McDermott was
run over by the yard engine.
Mr.. McDermott was coupling
cars, and it seems as though he
vas just ready to jump on the en-
CINE when he accidently slipped
and went under the wheels which
cut off both legs. Mr.. Jack Sim
onton, who was running the en-
CINE, lost no time in finding Or.
Sturgill, who was OH the scene
soon after the unfortunate man
was hurt. He was taken on a hand
car to MIR. Likens' where he board
ed. Both limbs were so badly
buised and mangled it was neces-
sary that they be amputated. Drs.
Sturgill and Wharton performed
the operation III as skillful and
speedy away as could be expected,
but it was evident that the injured
man was failing fast. He died at
4:5l next morning.
Mr.. McDermott leaves a wife and
two children living in Texas.
He received two letters from his
wife the day he was killed. He in
tended going after his family and
moving them here in few DAYS.
The unfortunate ones did not get
any word of his being hurt until
after he was dead. They all have
our sympathy.
His remains were shipped to his
home In Temple, Texas.
