Phensant season Opens.

The echo of the sportsman's gun was heard
to-day, and a number of Shenandoah crack
shots took advantage of the opening of the
pheasant season. The new game laws will
prevent wholesale slaughter of the birds by
any one hunter, ten being the limit which a
hunter may kill in day. Besides this,
none of the birds can be exposed for sale,
under penalty of heavy fine. Heretofore
the farmers killed the birds and brought
them to market, frequently dozens at time
Besides this, hunters whose aim had not
been true or luck bad, brought in bags
loaded down with game that the gun of the
farmer had slaughtered. There will be less
of this in the future

As soon as his companion returned he
realized his partners fate, and efforts were
made to release him. By the time he was

STRIKE ON JAN. 2
New York Job Printers to Go
Out for a Nine-HOur
Work Day.
They Will Probably Be Joined
by Those of Several Other
Cities.
Ten Per Cent Cut Will Cause q
Big Strike at Fall River,
Massachusetts.

New YORK. Dec. 10.-At the annual
convention Of the International Typo.
graphical union year ago it was de-.
cided to make fight for work day Of
nine hours in all book and job printing
shops as soon as possible. This fight
will be started in this city on Jan. 2,
1898, and will involve $500 men, as the
employing printers have resolved to op.
pose the demand. It is announced that
other cities, including Brooklyn, viii
also take mp the fight Tor nine houts
and that before the new @year wk1 !
month old it was probable that $4,000
men would be on strike for a shorter
work day.
On Dec. 2, Typographical Union No.
9 sent notice to lO2 employers, max.
ing the official demand for work day
of nine hours instead of ten, beginning
on Jan. 2. On Tuesday night an execu.
tive meeting of the Typothetm was
held at which resolutions were passed
denying the demand of the printers
and looking to raise fund of $50. .O0C
as defense fund to fight the big Six. y
President Donnelly of Union No. 6,
says that within 80 days his union will
have 800, 900 with which to enforce itt
demand.

THE ELLIS ISLAND FIRE.

Possibility That It May Have Been Started
to Cover Big Robber.
New YORK, Dec. 1O.-Facts come to
light that suggest the possibility that
the mysterious fire which destroyed the
immigrant buildings on Ellis island a
few months ago was started by thieves
who had carefully planned a $40, 900, 900
robbery.
Ten Of the trunk lines leading to the
West unite in maintaining railroad
office on the island, and at all times
there are quantities of tickets there.
General Ticket Agent Robinson Of the
New York, Ontario and Western, says
that on the night of the fire conserva-
tive estimate would place the face
value of the tickets in the Ellis island
Office at $lO,OO0,OOO.
A few days ago ticket issued by the
New York, Ontario and Western, read.
ing from Chicago to Kansas City, was
received from a passenger and after.
wards found to be one of the tickets
supposed to have been burned.
Now the railroad officials are asking
how many other tickets out of the
SIC, O,OO0,O0O worth are in existence. II
is deemed not impossible that the en-.
tire number was stolen and held until
conductors should forget the warning.

OBJECT TO A CUT.

Reduction Of Wages at Fall River Az
fecting $4,000 Operatives.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. l0.-At q
general meeting of the cotton manu-.
facturers it was voted unanimously to
reduce all wages in the mills of the
city. It is understood that the cut will
be not less than 10 per cent aud that it
will go into effect on Jan. l. The cut
will affect $4,000 operatives who are
paid an aggregate weekly wage Of
$3.50, 900.
The feeling is prevalent that before
the matter is settled there will be a
strike, but how large proportion Of
the operatives will take part it is i'm.
possible to say. Every effort. however,
will be made to avert such action.
The Carders' association met later,
but deferred action on the cut until a
special general meeting is held after the
Manufa cturers' association announces
the change in schedules. The carders
do not think a reduction warranted.
The Spinnners' union referred the mat.
ter to the executive board with power
to act. The spinners do not think a
cut will relieve an overstocked market,
but, if the manufacturers can prove
that it will, they will accept. They
will probably ask for conference with
the manufacturers, and prominent
members predict strike which will be
| q bitter fight.

Stated They Will Displace the Old style
Wooden Cara
CHICAGO, Dec. 10. The Record says:
Steel freight cars with capacity Of
l00, 900 pounds an1 even more will dis.
place the old style Of wooden cars car.
rying from 100000 to 10000 pounds.
These cars are said to lessen materially
the dead weight hauled and in many
other ways are more economical than
the wooden ones. Within the last few
days the Pittsburg, Bessemer and Lake
Erie road has contracted for 600 all
steel cars of 100000 pounds capacity.
the Pittsburg and Lake Erie has ordered
81 similar cars, while another trunk
line is said to be figuring on the con-
etruction of cars TO carry 10000
pounds. All these cars are specially
intended for the coal and ore trades.
1t is thought that before long the rail.
roads will turn their attention to build.
ing larger cars for grain and other com.
,modities.
Among the advantages claimed for
the steel cars are lightness Of construc.
tion, thus allowing more cars to be
hauled; nominal cost for maintenance;
average life of probably 80 years against
IA years for wooden cars; can be built
for same cosI per ton carrying capacity;
fewer cars required; for a given load
trains much shorter, take up less ter.
minal and track room and require less
help to handle and cannot be burned.
