DO NOT WANT A STRIKE
What Representatives of the Tailor's
Union Have to Say.
Merchant TaiIors Will Consider the De-
mands Of Workmen Tonight.

The trouble between tho merchant and
journeymen tailors of Providence are no
nearer adjustment today than yesterday,
n or do they multiply very fast. The
merchant tsilors met last evening and did
little beyond agreeing TO meet again to-
night to consider the journeymen's de-
mands.
The latter met in the slade building
a5 Eddy street, to the number OF about
40 this morning, and decided to send a
committee to wait upon each merchant
tailor and expain what they want. AL
though they decline to state what that In
for publication, IL is understood that they
demand a 10 per cent increase in regular
wages and an increase for extras. These
demands will be discussed at the meeting
OF the merchant tallors tonight, they
having requested the rest of the week be-
fore making answer tn the journeymen.
James &. Cottrell and John $. Gleason
stated for the journeymen's Union this
morning that they do not desire trouble
and are seeking a peaceable restora ton
of rights. There is no strike, they aver,
besides that at Luther 4 Huber's. nor do
they intend there shall be any IL the en-
ployers are at ell tractable.
The merchant tailors, as whole, take
exceptions 60 the statement In yesterday
higher price than other tailors in town.
AS matter OF fact, they state, Luther
~ Huber, Chase and some others have
been paying dollar more for every coat
made than Mr.. Tripp.
There the matter rests and today Is a
season halfway between hay and grass,
as the old saying goes.

This Morning.
The West Induced to Be Bull

Reports of Serious Damage to Wheat
Crops Exaggerated.

NEW YORK, April 22.-The PhiIadel-
phia Ledger says it is understood that an
effort will be made to secure the reorgan-
ization of Baltimore g. Ohio without fore
closure in order to save its present
charter, which exempts the property from
State taxation in Maryland.
The new Italian loan was over SUBJ
scrlbed 10 times.
Weakness in wheat must be accepted as
evidence that the reports of serious dam
age to the crops are grossly exaggerated.
Expert railroad men view the situation
with satisfaction and the West, which
has been bearish on Changers, is inclined
to change the position. liz is understood
that new pool has been formed In Rock
Island.

Burlington & Quincy. 1t is said that the

about 10 80 o'clock last night, calling FOR an

STUDENT TEACHERS.
Eight of Them Appointed for the High
School by the Committee.

Yesterday afternoon the committee on
High schools met at the city hall and APP
pointed eight student teachers for high
sconol work. They are Florence S.
Whiting, Bessie s. Warner. Edith II. VIII
liston, Catherine G.. Lynch, Robert II.
Day, q. Frederick Frost, Herbert Ii.
Waterman and William III. Kepnerson.
Part of these are taking a course of
pedagogy in Brown University, aud others
are graduates of this years class, who
may take a post-graduate's course next
year. The IDEA is to furnish training in
high school work, similar to that afforded
in gramamr and primary schools by the
training schools of the city. In fact, 1t
is a training school. The student teachers
mum ber tw ice the positions open, so that
each does one-hali of a regular teachers
work and receives therefor one-half of a
first years salary.

The Sensational Robbery
of Union Bank.
After Is Years ServicePitcher
Became a Thief.
When vice-Presidents Were Sworn
in Before Presidents.

Providence has had its share of bank
robberies, but 1t may be doubted whether
any of them created such sensation or
caused more surprise than the looting OF
the Union Bank by its teller, Charles A.
Pitcher. Pitcher had entered the employ
II the institution in 1871 and for Is years
had served faithfully, honestly and etfi-
ciently, wining his way TO a position
which paid him $4,000. Pitchers case was
entirely different from that OF the. aver
age bank empioye who turns thief. In a
very great majority OF instances the
wrongdoer begins by abstracting GER
tain amount of cash and covering up that
and subsequent stealings by falsifying the
books. And this process of speculation
and Justification goes on until the inevi-
table happens and the culprit Is exposed
and punished. Not so with Pitcher. For
the is years he had served the bank, he
had never misappropriated cent of its
funds. There lad been no speculations
from time to time, no doctoring of ac-
counts in his case. With him il appears
to have been the sucden conception OF the
scheme to clean out the bank at one
stroke and then live in luxury in some far
of land afterward.

Having taken what he wanted Pitcher
put the notes receivablesin package and

Brown Shipley q Co., London, England.
Roberts was the name he proposed to as
sumo and he subsequently travelled under
II until arrested. Having placed the
stolen money and other securities in a
basket which he carried, he tampered with
the lock on the vault door, his intention
being to change the com bination SO that
when the chashier and clerks arrived on
Monday morning they would not be able
to open il and would therefore give him
more time to get further away from the
scene of his rascality. In his haste, after
changing the combination, however, he
neglected to throw the bolts, so that

II was on a Saturday afternoon in June
hat Pitcher put his scheme into opera
iton. Mr.. j. Z. Johnson, the cashier
had left shortly after the closing of the
institution to 20 10 Narragansett Pier TO
spend Sunday. The clerks and Others
departed subsequently leaving Pitcher
the sole occupant OF the establishment.
What he did is pretty well known from
the condition OF things as found when
the bank opened Monday morning. He
had the com bination to The vault and to
the safe within 1t. 1t was perfectly easy
matter for him therefore to take every
thing he thought worth carrying away.
He took pretty much everything, includ-
ing paper which ne could not negotiate,
but which he thought perhans he could
use in effecting compromise with the
bank. In gold and silver he took S1372, IN
bills, $I3, 405, and in bills receivable. s453,
665. Besides this be took about fifteen
checks which had been signed in blank
by the cashier TO be used as needed and
filIed them out for a total of about $780,

pecting to realize on all of them.

THE BLiXXARD'S WORK.
lhe Lntire West Swept by q Terrific
Storm Stock Lost in Hand Co.

With all the way from twelve to
eighteen inches of snow on the prair-
les, strong northwest wind began
blowing here last Wednesday night,
and by Thursday morning Il full
grown blizzard was doing business.
Traffic OF all kind was stopped, and
scarcely any movement was made by
wagon, sled or train until Saturday.
Thanksgiving festivities were more
or less nipped in the bud-most folks
being thankful if they were at home
beside hot stove. The wind at
tanned a velocity of about - miles
per hour and the thermometer drop
ped to eight to ten below zero.
After this 4S-hour battle OF the e,e
ments gigantic Snow drifts were piled
about as thick as Influential politi
clans on election day. Some OF
them fully six feet high, and packed
tight enough to bear up q man. The
building Ofany kind that did not have
some fine snow sifted into it some
where should be preserved as a me-
mento to the skill OF Miller's early
mechanics,
The mail train OF Wednesday night
| was the last to arrive until Sunday
morning, the road being cleared on
Saturday by snowpiowS.
While this blizzard was a corkel
for two days and two nights, yet it
was not comparable in intensity with
the memorable one of january Il
| 1888, because the wind did not twist
and whirl as if from all directions as
it did in that one, nor was the aii
hlIed with electricity as before. 1t
was possible to see some little dis.
tance during the late blizzard, while
during the former person could not
see beyond ten feet No, the blizzard
OF Nov. 2G-7, 1896, wouli not com
pare with it's predecessor of nearly
nine years before-but it was bad
enough.
The damage heard from so far is
the loss of 150 sheep, directly due to
the storm, although they were not
frozen, but smOthered in sheds. One
lot Of 100 belonging to f. Z. Salt,
marsh and kept by X. I" Johnson in
Mondamin township, made Il hole in
the shed and were covered UP by the
snow blowing in. Another bunch o
80, also owned by Mr.. Saltmarsh,
were smothered in J. l., Perry's shed
in Glendale township, 10y reason o,
snow breaking in the rooF.
Late papers show the storm tc
have been very severe eyer the entire
