TALK OF A BIG STRIKE
GLASS MANUFACTURERS AND UNION
MEN IN CONFERENCE.
Meeting to Adjust a Wage ScaIe-Re.
port that Workmen Have
Large Fund.

Representatives of the glass manufactur-
ers who employ union workmen and repre-
sentatives of the union glass blowers are
in the city. There is deep mystery cloaking
the object of their presence here. r. L.
Breed, a glass manufacturer of Marion
said last night that the meeting is only one
of the many which are held to adjust wage
scales but that nothing had been decided
thus far. On the other hand. the glass
blowers, who are stopping at the Occidental
Hotel, talk vaguely of an impending strike
but said that the prospect for a settlement
is fair.
President w. ]. Smith, of the glass blow
ers'l association, was very secretive in talk
ing of the matter. He was told that there
was a report that the glass blowers had
about $4,000 TO conduct the strike, which
would break out unless the manufacturers
acceeded to the workmen's wage scale. He
said that whoever started the report drew
on his imagination. He would talk no
further. Mr.. Breed said it will probably
take until tomorrow TO settle on wage
scale. He said that so far as he knew the
manufacturers and blowers are in harmony.
The conference between the workmen and
the manufacturers will be resumed at .
o'clock this morning at the Bates House.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Mr.. Edens Says 1t Is "a Success-SOme
Remarkable Statistics.

W. G. Edens of Chicago, assistant super
intendent of free delivery, was in the city
a few days ago and had a talk with Post
master Hess in relation to free delivery in
the rural districts. While nothing has been
said about trying the experiment in Marion
county Postmaster Hess thinks the scheme
will some time have to be introduced here.
Since the postoffice at Mapleton was abol-
shed there is a large territory in that neigh
borhood that must depend on the nearest
substation for its mail. The people of Ma
pleton will be among the first TO welcome
free rural delivery. The scheme is now in
operation in seven different places in the
State, and Mr.. Edens says it is proving a
success.
Postmaster Hess, referring to the business
of the Indianapolis postoffice, spoke OF a
recent article in the Postal News which
shows the magnitude of the postal business
in the United States. According to the
Postal News 100000 600 letters are handled
in a year. The number Of postal cards
handled in a year is 430, 100000. Continuing
the Postal News SAYS: although the num-
Der of letters handled by the United states
postoftlce in year Qncludlng Iorelgn let
terS receiVed) approXimates 3,OO0VOO,O0O, the
complaints of erroneous delayed or monde
livery amount in year to only about thirty
thousand, or one complaint In lV0O letters
the Postotfice Department SHOWS tnat some
of the cases are due to unaVoldaDle acct
dents, such as the burning OF postofnces,
wrecking of mail trains, collisions in transit.
Some are chargeable to persons not connect
ed with the service; in some there was no
valid cause of complaint, and the large
number of errors were due to the senders
who mailed letters with inaccurate. lncom-
pete or indistinct addresses, without proper
postage, in fimsy envelopes, at the wrong
places, or in violation of the regulations or
the Postoffice Department. Some or the
cases, of course, We're due to dishonest en-
ployes who rhed letters of their contents.
So small a number of Irregularities when
compared with the volunme of mail handled,
is the highest testimony of the efficiency of
the United States postal service. During
the war-bond sale. as stated by Assistant
Secretary Vanderlp, the Treasury Depart
ment received by mail 100000 in currency,
many of the ashsremittances being bills as
large as 81 .000 being received in ordinary
unregistered letters. The most remarkable
feature in connection with the transmission
of this large sum of money seems to be the
fact that not one letter seems to have gone
astray. to have been lost purloined, re-
manned undelivered. sent TO the wrong ad-
dress or failed to reach the treasury.

The Piano Player Arrested.

Judge Cox yesterday morning continued
the cases against the two young women
charged with robbing John Kiley at the
Eagles Nest resort on West Washington
street. Harry Moore. the piano player al
the place. has been arrested, charged with
conspiracy in the robbery. George Bergman
the bartender, was fined yesterday morning
for selling liquor without a license. This
resort has been one of the most degraded
roadhouses about the city, and Superintend-
ent of Police Quigley mas at last decided &c
have the police visit it nightly.
The Farm, a place opposite the entrance
to the fair grounds, is on a level with
Eagles Nest and the people who live neal
it are complaining strongly of the gambling
hell and Sunday theater and the men and
women who frequent it. The police have
given the place no attention.

The early part of the evening was taken
UP with the report of the committee on
ways and means providing that the funds
for the support of the Supreme Lodge
should be derived from the representative
tax on the grand domains of $50 for each
representative from the sale of supplies,
and from a per capita tax to be fixed by
the Supreme Lodge. The report was
adopted and the per capita tax fixed at 8
cents as forecasted.
One of the important subjects yet to be
disposed of is the proposition to reduce the
number of the supreme tribunes from three
TO five, and to make one of the tribuneS re-
corder of the court. Now an outsider is APP
pointed recorder by the court. The propo-
sition, if carried, would GUST Recorder Ken
nedy, against whom there is much bitter
ness, from office.
Doubt was expressed yesterday as to
whether the work of the Supreme Lodge
could be completed by noon to-day. Fifty
eight domains voted to continue the meet
ing to-day without the usual per diem. AS
so many representatives were leaving yes
terday, it was found necessary to cut off
the payment of warrants until the adjourn
n.ent. To-day the newly-elected officials
will be installed in office as the closing
event of the convention.

INJUNCTIONS AGAINST RESORTS
Eli II. Ritter Says Cases VIII BE
Pushed This Winter.

The suits for injunction against Fair Bank
and Kissel's garden brought in the Superior
Court last spring by property owners in the
neighborhood of these resorts are still pend
ing. Attorney Eli f. Ritter. who brought
the SUITS says an effort will be made to
have them tried this winter, so that if a de-
cision is favorable TO the plaintiffs the pro-
prietors of the resorts may be restrained
from opening these places next summer.
Six suits were brought against Fair Bank
and the same number against Kissel
Immediately after the complaints for in
junction and damages were filed William
Iron brought an action for libel against
those who had proceeded against him. This
action is also pending, but Attorney Ritter
has filed a demurrer to the Iron complaint
on the ground that the action for libel can
not be based on the allegations made by his
clients. Attorney Ritter says the iniunc-
ton suits will be pushed for all they are
worth.

ADMIRERS OF
Turkish Rugs

Will be interested in the fact that
we yesterday unpacked a shipment
of over SIS. 200 worth of personally
selected Oriental Carpets and Rugs.
Anything like a description of
styles or even a list of prices, is out
of the question, the variety and
assortment being SO extensive.
There is one lot, however, that de-
mands special mention on account
of the surprising beauty of pat
terms and rich colorings. Most of
them are in medium sizes, and at
the prices, SIS to $40, are among
the best values we have ever seen
among Oriental productions. Come
up to this third floor any time; you
are welcome to see or to buy.

From Denver.
Bicksler & Mclean, Lawyers, Equitable
Building.
Denver, Col. Aug. Is, 1898.
Gentlemen-We are in receipt of your
favor of the 18th, in which you state that
there is a building in our city which is
supplied with a large law library for the
exclusive use of the tenants. and ask in
regard thereto The one in this building is
the best law library in the city. There is no
question but that the location of a good law
library in office building tends TO fill up
the building at once with lawyers The
Symes block, in this city, formerly had a
good law library which belonged to Judge
Symes in his lifetime and which was main
tanned for four or five years after his death.
Within the past year the executors or the
estate sold the law library to the owner OF
the Peoples Bank building, and it was re-
moved AS a result, a large number of the
most desirable tenants OF the SymeS block
duce their rental charges. We know that
the rents obtained in buildings where good
law libraries are located are higher than in
others There is no question that ii is a
very great saving TO an attorney. and he
can well afford to pay increased r"G: Very
truly, BfCKSLER & M'LEAN.
1t is confidently believed that with the OPP
ions already taken by prospective tenants
(hlling more than twO-thirdS of the build
ing), that there will be but few vacancies,
but if there should be four whole floors va
cant all the year through. this property will
pay all charges and per cent. to stock
holders net of taxes. A large part of the
stock is already taken.
