ST. PAUL BUILDING STRIKE.

Half . Dozen Trades STOP work-PainterS
Got Moro Than the Vnrnishers AskedI
The general strike on the st. Paul building,
Broadway and Ann street, which was decided
upon by tho Board of Walking Delegates early
this week because painters were employed d. to do
the work OF union varnishers, went into effect
yesterday at noon. According TO the walking
dslesates. about 500 men in various trades
stopped work. Contractor Hedden d Sons,
against whom the strike is directed. say that
not over 200 men are out. The bricklayers and
several other trades remained at work. A rep
resentative Of Hedden d Sons said yesterday:
A the men who are or have been employed
here are union men. The trouble Is that the
unions take TO fighting among themselves. and
then the walking delegates want us to discrimi-
nate. They want the painters TO come and paint
and then tho varnishers to come and do the var
nishinc, when every painter can do vanishing.
That would be n very cumbrous way. The pe-
culiarity about this strike is that we were pay
ing the painters who were doing the painting
and vanishing more than the varnishers claim
As the union scale.
Two years ago the shoe was upon the other
foot, and the walking delegates were bowling
because varnishers were doing the work OF
painters. Why don't the painters join the var
nishers' union or the varnlshers JON the paint
ers' union, and then both can do either painting
or vanishing without fghting about it."

Samuel Stone arrested on an order from Justice
Van Wyck OF the City Court, and no was held
yesterday in $500 bail in an action she has
brought against him TO recover 10000 dam
ages for breach of promise of marriage. She
says that she met him in London In 1892, whore
both their families were then living. They be-
came engaged to be married, but soon after
ward their families came to this country. Miss
Gross settled In this city and Stone went to
Boston. During tho four years following he
wrote her many atfectionate letters. which she
treasured up against him. Stone has recently
been living In this city. He told Miss Gross a
few days ago that he had no intention of marry
ing her, as he had another girl in view. His
arrest followed.

Emma Bell, an actress. moved before Justice
Smyth Of the Supreme Court yesterday to va
cate an order for her physical examination in
an action she has brought against Jacob Lift,
theatrical manager. TO recover $4,000 for in
juries. She was acting in Tho War of Wealth"
at Minneapolis on Oct. o in q scene in which tho
balcony drops when she gives tho cue, and she
falls to the stage down an inclined plane. That
night the balcony fell before she gave the cue.
and she was thrown to tho stage twenty feet
below, breaking an arm and sustaining other
injuries.
Justice MacLean, at the request Of Lift. made
an order that Miss Bell submit herself for ex-
animation, oral and physical. us to her Injuries
before Thomas l.. Feitner. al referee. and DIR.
Mary Putnam Jacob. Her counsel said yester-
day that such an examination would almost
compel q woman to drop her suit.

The opposing counsel said that Miss Bell
could not have been badly injured, as she was
playing last week in Brooklyn. Justice Smyth
refused to vacate the order.

SHOOK SUED ~ETERARD.
The Action Grew Out OF Their Former
Pnrtnership and Was Dismissed.

An action which Sheridan Shook brought to
recover about $4,000 from James Everard. the
brewer, has been dismissed by Justice Slower of
the Supreme Court. In February. 1876, Shook
and Everard became partners under an agree
ment by which each was to advance halt OF the
capital and each was to devote his entire time
to the business.
Shook found that he could not give his atten-
ton to the business the following year, and
Everard says that he spoke. 10 him about hav-

1891. and Shook claims to have learned then
for the first time OF the deductions for the SER
vices Of Everard. There was no charge Of
fraud. but Mr.. Shook claimed that Mr.. Eyerard
had made the deductions under a misapprehen-
sion as to an arrangement for that purpose.
Justice Slower. In Diminishing tho case, says
that there was evidence which gives him tho
impression that thnre was a conversation about
the matter. and that Mr.. Shook should have be-
come acquainted with the deductions by exam
lining the books during those fifteen years.

Of New Rochelle at the corner Of West and Oak

HAnnr N. ADAMS ARREsrED.
The Foraer Treasurer OF KinEh County
Accused or Grand Larceny.

Accused or Grand Larceny.
Ex-County Treasurer Harry II. Adams OF
Kings county, against whom an indictment for
grand larceny was found last week. was arrested
yesterday by An officer of the District Attorneys
office and arraigncd before Judge Hurd, in the
County Court, In Brooklyn. A plea OF not guilty
with leave to demur was entered In his behalf.
and he was released on $4,000 bail, furnished
by William Warner.
Mr.. Adams was County Treasurer OF Kings
county for more than ten years, and whom he
retired, n couple of years ago, q shortage Of
nearly $4,000 was discovered in the accounts
of tho Office. The various official Investigations
which ensued seemed to place tho RESPONSE
bility for the shortage on the loose and careless
methods in vogue in the oflce for many years.
The books were found In a badly, muddled con-
dition, and some, OF. Mr.. ,Adams's subordinates
came In for the chief criticism.
IL was not until the recent Indictment was
found that Mr.. Adnms's own Official integrity
Was .ass called alice In question; IL Is based ,sn,, on iu ins al" VI
y2,987.22 In October. 1892. Surrogate Abbott
had directed that the money shoulG be Deposited
ment OF an estate. tits now claimed that MIR;
Adams withheld this money and diverted
loaned This money. to William y, Warner on
property which had Just previously been con.
the very day tho mortgage was made Warner
conveyed the property to Mr.. Adams personally.
The property In question was part OF tho lawn
in front OF Mr.. Adams's house In Herkimer
street. MIR. Backus also SAYS that IL was not
worth the amount of tho loan. Mr.. Backus
enid:
"There arc other developments Of q eimilar
kind to come. When the infant to whom the
trust money belonged became of age and wanted
the money, 1t became a question Of letting him
go without IL or paying IL out OF the county's
funds. l got at the truth of this matter only
last month. and then l laid 1t before the Grand
Jury. l will press this case to trial as soon as
possible
Counsel for Mr.. Adams said that he would
probably demur to the indictment, but that his
client was fully able to vindicate himself.
