DARK FOR GLAssBL0WERs.
Work offered 1900 szer at 8TsElvfIie
az 20 Per Cent Reduction.
SpeciQg to The Jerseu rftu Nezrs.

MILLvILLE. Oct. 5. 1s56-The con-
troversy over wages between Whitalf,
Tatum & Co.. and the ~giassblowers re-
suited unfavorably for the latter at a
conference held late Saturday afternoon.
The manufacturers presented to the Xxx
ecutive Committee a letter informing
the men that unless the union men ac-
cepted work within two days at 20 per
cent. reduction help would be secured
from other sources. which practically
means the employment of non-union men.
Melville IS a strcng union town and
the glassblowers held a meeting last
Right, but reached no decision. The
glassblowers have paid into the anton
S35.We. and to accept the manufacturers
offer means TO forfeit the money, besides
working for reduced wages. Whital.
Taturn & Co. employ 1920 men at their
Hint Wqrks and 1,e00 men at their green
glass plant here.
There are big glass plants N Muncie.
H., Gas City, Ind, and in Baltimore, but
they are idle. Although MiIIvflle has
been q union city for over twenty-years,
the OUTLOOK Tor q continuance Of the or
der IS very discouraging. A riot Is
feared il non-union men are employed in
case the reduction In wages is refused.
The Glass manufacturers Union that mes
in R.ttsburg last Wednesday disbanded.
and in the future viii make their own
terms with the glassbIe xers.
so serious is the situation that at some
OF the churches today prayer was offered
that the difficulty may be peaceably ad-
Jusfed and prosperity return.

Ro0KToFP IN THE PRISONERS PEN
The Police Dents Seem so Have Any
Grnaxe against This MAN.

Hermann RocktoA was 4 prisoner in
Justice Potts court against this morning.
This time he was accused of brutally as
saulting a woman. He was fined s. and
costs OF court. He will, Justice Potts
says. either pay the fine or spend a few
days in jail. No leniency is to be shown
him. His arrest is due TO interference
in a family quarrel. Helen Nolan, of No.
As Sussex street. has a son sixteen years
old, of whom she is very proud. For
several weeks past she has noticed that
he has been spending a great deal of his
time with Addie Meadows. Adde'S mother
keeps a boarding house al No. 50 York
street. Rockton n his wife are among
the boarders.
Last night young Nolan could not be
found, n MS mother suspecting that he
was IN the Meadows house. went there
IN search of him. She was met at the
fight. and IN the midst Of it Rocktof
jumped IN and dealt Mrs. Nolan a blow
IN the face which bIackened her left
eye. He also pushed Mrs. Nolan off the
stoop, and summoning Policeman Man
ing, cause her arrest.
When Justice Potts heard the eviderce
he promptly discharged Mrs. Nolan and
gave her a warrant for Roektofs arrest
That individual, with his usual freshness.
TOOK the warrant from the Clerk, walked
into Police Headquarters, had himself
booked and then marched into court.
When he was fined he sat down smiling
in a front seat inside the railing. He re-
manned there about one minute. Court
officer Douglass seized him by the coll
lar and forced him into the prisoners
pen. He objected, but Douglass remarked,

TRoQUoIs WINS THE CUP.
The FINAL Race for the Ellsworth
Trophy.

The fourth race of the series that was
inaugurated early in the season for the
Ellsworth cup was sailed Saturday after
noon by beats belonging to the fleet Of
the New Jersey Athletic Club. IN the
three previous races a different bout
won each time, and in order thai the win
ner might be settled upon, none but these
winners spread their sails for the final
trial. The starters were the Iroquois,
owned by Wilmerding and Genet; Drift,
c~aptained by William Barnard, and the
Brownie, Captain William Brown, There
was a good wind, and the shippers were
able TO crowd on all the sail. The course
was the regular triangular one on New
ark Bay, and the race could be seen from
start TO fnish from the clubhouse. Con-
siderable interest was attracted to the
contest, but it was not as CLOSE as ex-
pected. The Brownie and the ~Iroduois
sailed rapidly away from the Drift. which
withdrew before the second round was
completed. The Brownie held on TO the
IroQuois. but finally dropped behind, ard
the Iroquois gained rapidly on the final
roGnd and crossed the finish some dis
lance in advance, and won in actual time
without any computed time allowance.
The Iroquois completed the ten miles in
2 hours "a minutes 81 seconds.

Naughton, Austin Porter and Mrs. Lena
Lurnburg, who lives in the same house.
Mr.. Lumburg. 1t seems, did not take
part in the festivities, but stayed in his

had such an effect on Porter and Mrs.
Lumbnrg that they forgot to conduct
themselves properly, One Of the guests
went down stairs to Mrs. Lumburg's hus-
band and told him he had better go up
stairs and take care of his wife. Lnm-
