STRUCK AGAINST THE OLD SOLDIER
Small Sized Labor Disturbances al
Henry Eembeck,s New Buildings.

There has been a crowd of men loung-
ing around the new buildings being erect
ed by Henry W. Lernbeck at Ocean and
Gator avenues for several weeks past
waiting for an opening for a position.
The chance came yesterday when one of
the plasterers failed to appear for work
on account of sickness. In selecting a
man Mr.. Mulcahy, the senior member of
the firm of Mulcahy & Son, which has
the contract for the masonry work, chose
an old soldier friend, but unfortunately
a ~non-union man. The union men conl-
p.ained and four of the plasterers threat
ened that unless a union man were EN-
ployed they would go on strike.
Mulcahy would listen 10 no arguments
and told them that "he was running the
business" and told them to go if they.
wanted. This was at noon time, and the
men left in a body, letting the half plas-
tered walls stand.
Mr. Lembeck. the owner of the build
ings. came around and argued with Mr..
Mulcahy to put uniCn men on as he
wanted his work done properly and
thought the union men more capable
mechanics. But Mulcahy was firm and a
storm Of words followed. This morning
Atulcahy filled the union mems places
With ~non-union hands. The union men
threaten a boycott.

VOYAGE OF THE A
An Easy Time and Reduced Ice
Pressure After Nansen Left.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, Aug. 81, 1S96.-The "Chron-
icle" this afternoon publishes an account
of the voyage of the Arctic exploring
vessel Fran after DR.. Nansen left her.
The account is given by Captain Sver-
drup, commander of the Fran, and was
sent to the 'tChronicle,s from Tromsoe
by DR.. Nansen himself. The dispatch is
as follows:-
.a.The ice pressure was never as severe
as upon several occasions before DR.. Nam
sen left us during June. 1896. We were
regularly exposed, however, to violent
~pressures, caused by the changing spring
tides. The Fran was once or twice daily
lifted from six to nine feet. Her bottom
became visible as it rested on the ice.
So little effect did this have on the
Trans timbers that the men continued
their slumberings undisturbcd.
A easier Arctic exploring expedition
one could hardly imagine. The principal
work was to take regular Observations.
sleep n eat. The health of the men
was perfect during the entire expedition.
There was not a sign of scuryy apparent
among any of the men, When all efforts
to advance the boat through the ice by
the force of steam or a process of warp
ing failed, 1t was found that gun-cotton
mines proved the best means OF shatter-
ing the ice. AS a rule very high icef1oes
prevailed, so extensive that their termi-
nation could not be deserted even by the
use of telescopes. Often it looked like
a hopeless task breaking our way out
Of the ice foot by foot, but with the
the peculiar construction of our boat, we
finally succeeded"

Its Hands Are Clean.

The power of the press in England is
mainly based OF conviction of its nom
esty of purpose, and the cleanness of the
hands of those who conduct and con-
tribute to it. This inborn, carefully nur-
tured principle is indicated in such a de-
tail as the scorn and Indignation excited
in Journalistic circles at the mere sus-
picion that an economically transmitted
cable message has been unduly elaborated
in the sub-editorial room before it APP
pears in print. The Times having, as
its conductors thought, reason to believe
that a news agency had so dealt with a
message offered for publication in its col
umns, Indignantly denounced the mis-,
placed industry. The news agency. justly
approaching the fact that such an accu-
sation, unrefuted, struck at its life as a
prosperous business undertaking, forth
with brought a civil action with design
TO vindicate its integrity. Some of the
best known Partisan papers, without fear
of rebuke, habitually convey" kilograms
from the London press. rewrite them, and
present them to their readers as evidence
of enterprise, regardless OF cost. An
English newspaper convicted of such
a trick might at once close the shutters
of it's publishing office.-North American

WILL VETO IT.
Mayor Wanser Won't Per-
nit a Grade Crossing
on Communipaw
Avenue.
REASONS FOR HIS ACTION
This Will Make a Third Veto Of
Crossings During His
Term of Office.
REASONS FOR HIS ACTION

Mayor Wanser will veto the resolution
of the Street and Water Board giving
permission to the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company to cross C~ommunipaw avenue
at grade. This action of the Mayor is in
keeping with his general policy regarding
level crossings. During his term OF office
he has vetoed two resolutions OF a SINH
lar nature. The Mayor would have vetoed
IT at once, but finding that the opinions
of citizens in that section of Lafayette
were divided he resolved to give all par
ties every opportunity to present their
views. These hearings terminated yester-
day when three ladies called to object TO
the proposed crossing. The railroad com
pany's agent presented his case, unfolded
his maps and, insisted that there was no
other way TO cross the avenue but at
grade.
But the Mayor thinks differently. He
has carefully inspected the road at the
point where the crossing was proposed,
and believes that the company can build
an elevated track over the avenue.
Then again, the Mayor has always been
opposed to the laying of tracks across
a public street. and for this reason he
VIII send his veto to the Board of Works.
Have you vetoed that resolution vet,
Mr.. Mayor?" a News, reporter asked
hin this morning.
Not yet" replied the Mayor. There
is plenty of time for me to act" Beyond
this announcement he would say MOTH

A CHEEKY DRIVE FINED.

Robert Draper, a stair builder, of No.

the county ordinance by driving a loaded
truck on the Boulevard. He refused to
turn off into another road when ordered
to do so by Policeman Winters. Draper
was arrested and this morning arraigned
before Acting Police Justice Macs. who

language in court and threatened to do
dfreful things to the police for what he
considered was an abridgment of his
rights. A threat of the justice to Increase

REVOKED his CONTRACT
Names on a Hobpken Contrae-
tors Bond Said to Be
Forgeries.

A peculiar incident occurred at a meet
ing of the Hoboken Council last night. a
resolution was introduced providing that
the contract recently awarded to Joseph
Kilduff for cleaning receiving basins be
revoked, and awarded to the next lowest
bidder.
The reason for this idea, it was alleged
on the floor of the Council. was that
the names of the bondsmen on Kilduff's
bond were forgeries.
Councilman Thinker said that it looked
as If the lowest bidder was withdrawing
SO that the next lowest could get the job,
and both handle the contract together.
1t was said that Kilduff is really unable
to do the work.
Mr.. Thinker declared that Corporation
Counsel Minturn should talks the matter
before the Grand Jury and secure XII
duff's Indictment for forgery; but Chair
man .Offerman said it would be enough
punishment not to give Kilduff any more
public work.
The contract gave the work t 0 John B.

Miss wiley Doesn't Think Much OF
the Bicycle Con.

William Beaton, a clerk residing at No.
5S Hudson street. Hoboken; William
Rerrice, a sailor; Leon Chamoned. a bicy-
Gle dealer of West Hoboken, and Miss
Loretta Wiley, of No. 307 Second street.
this city, were all arrested by officer
Heck last night on a charge of coast
ing or fast riding on the Boulevard. ex-
ceeding in pace the lawful limit, twelve
miles an hour. Their wheels were re-
tanned at the Sixth Precinct Police Sta
ton as security for their appearance in
court today, and of course they appeared.
Each was fined by acting Police Jus
tee Macs s.. but in the case of Cha
moned and Miss Wiley the fines were SUBJ
s~equently remitted for the want of posi-
i've evidence as to the rate of speed at
which they were riding.
Miss Wiley made a vigorous defence
setting up the plea that she could not
nave peen screening or the officer could
not have caught her. She was evidently
one OF the new woman class as she rode
a mans wheel, but with becoming grace
and precision.
