During the forenoon yesterday the
men employed in the plate mill at the
BellaIre steel works, took vote on
whether they would cease work to-
morrow or continue at work. The re-
suit was forty-five to eight in favor Of
continuing at work, and the eight who
voted to quit, fell Into line and said
they would make It unanimous. This
puts an end to the rumors of the men
quitting, and shows the inclination OF
the men who have continued at work
In that department ever since the trou-
BILE in the steel department,

ers, but that those present decided to
Join the strike tomorrow,
The strikers are conducting them
selves in an orderly way and are
keeping up their store Of supplies for
those In need In good shape. Very few
OF them have been even accused Of do
ing anything more than to explain the
circumstances under which they struck
and to persuade new men coming In TO
not take their places at the mill. This
Is one OF the things men do In all such
cases.
Tuesday evening four colored men
walked down Belmont street just after
dark, and at least two of them had re-
Volvers in belts in full view OF all who
passed them. An effort to learn who
they were was futile, but II they could
have been found by the police they
would have been arrested and punish
ed to the full extent Of the law, but
they got quickly out OF sight and most
likely out OF town. Precautions have
been taken and no such bravado will
be permitted hereafter on the part OF
anyone. But no trouble Is anticipated,
except when some individual may hunt
it. The authorities are acting upon
the principle that an ounce OF preven-
ton is worth pound OF cure.
Judge ]. B. briggs went down from
Bridgeport at noon yesterday and had
a conference with the men charged
with assault, and whose cases were to
be heard in Squire Mason's court In the

conclusion was reached to waive hear
ing and allow the cases to be taken up,
but Levi Sewers protested his limo

menced about haif-past o'clock. The
hearing was still In progrese yesterday
evening, and an adjournment was ta-

EWING BROS. ASSIGN

Wednesday Afternoon for the Bsnsht OF
crsditors--Poor Collections and Slow
business said to be the Causes.
When the news Of the assignment OF
the queensware firm of Ewing Broth
ers, whose extensive retail establish
ment is located on the SFst and second
floors at 1915 Market street, was heard
on the streets late yesterday afternoon
there was a general expression of sur
prise among business people, though a
few claimed to have predicted such a
step would be taken by the firm.
At $3.50 O'Clock the deed Of assignment
was filed at County Clerk Robertson's
office. II is dated November 2, 1897, and
by It's provisions John II, Ewing and
William l.. Ewing. doing business as
Ewing Brothers, convey to James W.
Ewing, attorney and assignee, in con-
slderation OF IS and trusts to be carried
| out, the stock OF goods OF Ewing Broth
ers located in the store rooms at 1915
Market street, store fixtures and all
partnership property Of the firm, and
all other property belonging to the
| parties, including the lease on the
house. The exemption limit OF $500 for
each Is claimed. The trustee is direct
ed to sell at public or private sale, for
cash or part cash, at wholesale or retail,
for the best interests OF the creditors,
and distribute the proceeds according to
law.
The deed was signed by ], H. Ewing
in this city on November 3, and re-
celved the signature of William l.,
Ewing at st. Louis, Missouri, on No
vember 8.
An Intelllgencer reporter saw Mr.
James W. Ewing, the trustee named In
the deed, but he could give little infor-
| nation as to the shape In which the
firms AFFAIRS are. The store, he said,
would be closed this morning and re-
opened later bV the trustee, himself.
It was difficult to learn the probable
amount OF the assets, but they amount
to at least $4,000, and the liabilities are
said not to reach that figure.

A certain noble lord, who shall be
hameless, during his journey north on
a political mission changed his costume
for full highland rig out" intend
ing it as delicate compliment TO the
land of the kilt, but when he looked
at himself in the glass he found that
the tailor had cut his kilt too short, so
he made up his mind to put on evening
dress.
He changed his upper garments and
then sat down for a few moments to
study his speech. This set him to sleep.
He awoke with start, only to find
himself running into the station. For
getting what happened, he thrust on
his hat and appeared at the window
bowling, and this was how he was
dressed:
He had full highland costume as
far as his waist. Above were white
shirt and swallow tailed coat, and the
entire edifice was crowned with q CHM
ney pot hat, upon which he sat down
without noticing it. His lordship's hor-
ror when he stepped upon the platform
and felt the keen wind cutting his bare
legs changed to absolute agony when
his valet appeared, scrambling out of
the carriage with pair of trousers in
his hands, waving them wildly and ex-
claiming, my lord, my lord, you We
