TROUBLE AMONG THE TAILORs.
Reported the Recent Strikers In New
York Are to BE Locked Out.

New York, June pa large number of
contractors who had entered into settle
ment with the Brotherhood of Taiors. this
week have, according to members of the
Clothing Contractors association. ignored
the new agreement, closed their shops and
turned their employees adrift.
The number of contractors who are said
to have thus acted is set down at 400. en-
ploying between 1000 and 1900 operators.
Leader Schoenfeld characterized the state
ment as a lie made of whole cloth.
In the face of this denial huge force of
idle tailors was found congregated at the
tailor headquarters. Many of them said
they had been locked out, and made no con-
cealment of the fear entertained by them
that they were face TO face with another
period of idleness. Leader Schoenfeld has
decided to hold forth for the next two
weeks at the headquarters of the United
Brotherhood of Tailors. He intended to
relinquish his charge of the taiors' affairs
yesterday, but for some unknown reason
he decided to remain at his post until the
middle of July. Instructions We're given
to all idle tailors today by Schoenfeld not
to work under any conditions for contrac-
tors who had not yielded to the demands.
If the threat of the contractors is carried
out over 10000 tailors will be locked out
before the middle of the present week.

sCORCHING HOT IN GEORGIA.
Many Prostitution RepOrted-Fami-
lies Leaving for the North.

Atlanta, Ga, June 27.-Reports re-
ceived here tonight from all parts of the
state show it to have been the hottest day
ever known in Georgia. In this city, even
such slight business as is ordinarily at
tempted on Sunday was suspended, and
the people were compelled to stay indoors.
Men and women on their way home
from church were Frustrated, and of n
party of thirty bicycle riders who started
out on run into the country, only four
have returned.
Col. John Thomas. formerly a member
Of the legislature, died on train from
heat prostratiOn, en- route from here to
his home in Zezulon.
A nurse girl died in q drug store and
the baby she was attending died later
at the home of its parents from the same
cause.
The thermometer this afternoon reached
104, and in other parts of the state is
said to have gone even higher. Many
prostrations and number of deaths in
the southern portion of Georgia have been
reported. The more unfortunate feature
of the climatic condition here is that no
ice is obtainable, the factories having
failed to anticipate the tremendous de-
mand. The trains going north are taking
whole families of people who did not ex-
pect to leave, but who have been frighten-
ed out of town by the awful heat. 1t is
no cooler tonight, and most people are
sleeping or arranging to sleep on porches
and lawns.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
The Convention May Not Endorse
the Whole Chicago Platform.

Columbus, o., June 27.-Although the
democratic state convention does not
begin until Wednesday a half dozen of
the candidates for the nomination for
governor opened headquarters here today.
While Mclean is recognized as candi-
date for senator, his friends state that
he does not want an endorsement. al
though it is conceded he received so
many of the delegates that he could have
it. a complete new ticket is to be nomi-
mated, and there are candidates enough
for Il convention. For governor there
are at least twenty candidates and they
are c0rresp0ndingly as numerous for
the minor places. 1t is believed that r.
II. Hough of Hillsboro will be named for
governor after the first ballot. on which
the long list of aspirants can be compli-
mented. Hough is one of the radical
free silver men. He is for Mclean for
senator.
As the convention will he for free sill
Der there will be no contest over the plat
form except on the endorsement of the
Chicago platform as whole. Some
want only declaration for free silver in
order to avoid the endorsement of what
are termed ''anarchistie planks" in the
Chicago platform.

small sum of money, and his clothing
was good. 1t is believed the dead man
is James Travis, a reputable farmer liv-
ing twelve miles from Winchester. and a
telephone message tonight from Win

and had not returned home. The situa-
ton of the body and the appearance of
the place leads to the belief of foul plav

BURGLARY by ELECTRICITY.
II Was Working Like Charm when
the Current Was Cut OFF.

Cleveland, June 27.-Burglars resorted
TO a novel scheme to open bank safe
at Chagrin Falls, this county, last night.
They entered the bank of Rogers Il Son
some time early in the evening. They
had previously attached wire to the
trolley line of the electric wire. This
wire was run through an alley over a
transom and to the safe, Another wire
attached to the rail of the street car
track was brought into the bank. At the
ends of these wires were carbon points.
With those carbons an attempt was made
to melt the knob of the combination with
the arc light thus formed. The expert
ment worked all right and the knob had
been nearly melted away when the cur
rent was shut off shortly after midnight.
The burglars then gave mp the task.
There is no clue to the burglars.
