Cincinnati, March 27.-Plans have
been made for the biggest strike in
years, to be inaugurated in Cincinnati
today. A strike which will throw out
of employment between Ii. 900 and 20, 900
people will be ordered. The contracting
tailors, who have charge of the piece
work from all of the wholesale clothing
manufacturers, decided on a strike at a
meeting held few nights ago. Under
these tailOrs all the clothing girls find
employment. These tailors claim that
under the present rate of pay in Gin
cinnati they do not realize enough from
their work to pay expenses and are run
ming in debt.
They are paid by the wholesale cloth
ing firms from Use to 81 per dozen for
pants and from Soc to 81. so per dozen for
vests. They get from SOC to Soc for the
tailor work on a sack coat, such as
forms part of the ordinary SIS to SIG

ing under them must be paid. They
claim that these prices are driving Gin

MAKES 81, 100000 ON SUGAR
Boston Man Strikes a Balance and De-
clares He Has Quit.

Boston, March 27.-Broker Thomas w
Lawson, the hero of many hard-fought
financial battles, today struck a ball
ance on his sugar speculation and now
bids that skyrocket Industrial a fond
adieu. 1t was estimated that Lawson's
sales of the stock in both markets were
between 25, 900 and 10000 shares. After
the close of the market Mr.. Lawson
gave out the following statement in re-
gard to his recent dealing in that
stock:
Away back in 80 I invested the pro-
fits of my Lamson deal-$70O 000-in TO-
900 shares of sugar at a. and in few
days it gracefully dropped below SO.
Again, four years later, 1 decided I
could make no better longtime invest
ment of 100000 $500, 900 of electric
profits than to short sugar from 81 to
Z. In eleven days it took 81, 500 more
than my profits to even up my account.
Thinking these things over of late I
determined to make a final trial. care

WISHES MRS. MOORE WELL.
"Mine Host" Mahon Gives His Side
of the Noted Badger Case.

Atlantic City, N. J., March 27.-Mar-
tin Mahon, who left New York after the
second trial of Mrs. Fayne Moore was
begun, to escape what he calls the per-
secution of lawyers to which he was
subjected during the trial of her hus-
band and her own first trial. consented
to give his side of the affair to the
public today.
He sat on the great balcony of the ST.
Charles hotel in the fashionable West
End, enjoying the beauty of the perfect
spring morning. When asked to give his
side of the Fayne Moore case, he was
extremely reluctant to do so, but final
ly was induced to tell his story.
Il would simply say" MahOn began,
that in view of the crime that was per-
petrated and the outra geOuS attacks
perSiStently made on me, it was my
duty to the public, to the community at
large, and the hotel profession, to ex-
pose the whole thing.
Il considered that it was a. matter of
importance and that if properly expos
ed in the court it would save other men
Il say innocent men like myself-frOm
a phase of crime that is daily commit
ted in New York. After rendering such
service to the public 1 was surprised to
find no encouragement. In fact, there
was every inducement, judging from
the way that L was subjected to insults
while 1 was a plaintiff, and the pr1ncl-
pal witness on the stand, for the aver
age citizen to keep out of the courts in
all such cases.
1.-The result would lead one to pre-
fer being robbed to taking the witness
stand and giving his testimony against
a robber. This is why l am here today.
Certain hotel interests in which L am
concerned are too great to be neglected
by me in wasting my time writing let
tiers and answering inquiries from such
men as the defendants counsel and the
gentleman who assumed to represent the
district attorney.
Il feel that the merits of this case
are now fully understood and establish
edges, settled-in the minds of the
right thinking men and women of the
country. In my opinion, with the facts
fairly before the public, all honest and
fair-minded citizens in the long run
will receive justice. 1 say this regard
less of the temporary miscarriage of
justice in this case. Justice will come
assuredly as water reaches its level.
Il have left New York for my health
by the advice of my physician. 1 was
badgered and badgered and made to
appear as an accused prisoner on trial
simply because L had the courage to go
to court and give evidence against a
robber who seemed to have the pull
and friendship of eminent men. 1t was
a great victory that he was sent to
prison on my evidence. Still, his counsel
was permitted to punish me for doing
the public a genuine service.
In my case a stranger in the city
would have been justified in believing
of the plaintiff say that a lawyer
has no right to go outside a case with
any witness and to drag in ones private
affairs, entirely foreign to the subject
at issue. Business men and others in
New York have been subjected to the

ner of Fifth avenue and Seventy-third
street as a site for a residence, which,
it is estimated, will cost about 81, 00O, 900.
His mansion will form the north boun-
dairy of a mile and a half of millionaire
homes between the Metropolitan club
at Sixtieth street and the most attrac-
tive part of the Fifth avenue, skirting
on Central park.
The plot purchased by Mr.. Gould has
a frontage of II feet inches on Fifth
avenue and 100 feet on Seventy-secOnd
street. The property carries with it the
right to use an alleyway 10 feet wide at
the rear, which is an unusual concession
in this neighborhoOd
1t is not probable that work on Mr.
Gould's new home will begin for some
time to come, and it may be a year be
fore the foundation is laid. One of the
features, or rather the feature, of the
mansion will be a splendid ballroom,
occupying practically the entire parlor
floor. AS the plot upon which the man
sion will stand has an area of more than
10000 square feet, it may be inferred
that this ballroom will be one of the
largest in a private house in the city.
Other characteristics of the residence
will be in line with the ballroom. 1t
will allow Mr.. Gould and his wife, who
was Miss Katherine Clemmons, to en-
terrain lavishly. To the end that the
house shall be a perfect one for re-
ceptiOnS, balls and dinner parties, no
expense will be spared in it's construc-
ton and fitting up
Just how much the building alone will
cost it is impossible to estimate with
any degree of accuracy. Mr.. Gould may
easily spend s1,000000 in constructing his
place.
If present plans are not changed, the
GOulds will move into their new home
late in 1900. Meantime the couple are
occupying a leased dwelling at No. 20
West Fifty-seventh street.
