IS on the stand when the hearing ad-


journed. .5
Former Judge Joseph T. DAILY, who
was called during the course Of the af-
ternoon, said that he had been notified
In the early part OF last year he need
not expect n denomination. This notin-
cation came directly from Mr.. Croker
and 1t was. he said, the result Of his re-
fusing to appoint chief clerk of the
court OF common pleas recommended
by Croker and because he had refused
to make judicial order for the re-
moval Of the legal sale Of III Broad
way, where Peter T. Meyers firm is
located.
With reference to the statements
made during the recent election that
Judge DAILY had been originally discov-
cred by Boss Tweed and by him
nominated for his first judgeship, he
denied that he had. ever known Tweed
or that he had been selected by Tweed.
Judge DAILY said that he had paid $500
In assessments for his two nominations
by Tammany Hall.
Former Judge Roger Pryor, who fol-
lowed Judge DAILY, testified that he, too.
had contributed to Tammany on ac-
count Of his nomination. he having sent
check for $4,000. payable to the order
Of Richard Croker, chairman of the
finance committee Of Tammany Hall.
This check was returned to him the fol-
lowing day, and he was asked to make
the check payable to the bearer. This
he did.
mister" Carroll Gets Gay.
Another interesting figure on the wit
ness stand this afternoon was John F.
Carroll, Mr.. Croker's chief lieutenant.
Mr.. Carroll did not prove very easy
witness. and because Of his refusal to
answer questions, Mr.. Moss suggested
that he might have to have Mr.. Carroll
sent to prison for contempt OF court.
Later he asked that Mr.. Carroll's re-
fusal to answer questions be reported
to the legislature. The cause OF all this
was theaquestion as to whether Mr..
Carroll had any connection with the
Consolidated Ice Company, or whether
he had any stock therein. 1t developed
during the examination that Mr.. Car
roll had given up q $500 position to ac-
cept his present position in Tammany
Hall. which theoretically Is without SAL
ary.
Mr.. Moss pointed out that Carroll was
without visible means Of support and
was technically pauper. The witness,
however, denied this, while at the same
time he denied that he was receiving q
salary from Mr.. Croker or from Tam
many Hall or from anybody that the
counsel could name.
1t was during the course OF this ex-
animation that Committeeman Hoff-
man made protest on the line Of ques-
tions. He demanded that all the wit
nesses be treated fairly and that ques-
tIons be fairly put.
Mr.. Moss, however. continued to di-
rect his efforts to settle the question In
the same manner as he had begun. -Mr.
Moss tended his efforts In this direction
by asking: f
Dare You tell OF the money you have
received in the last thirty days?" to
which Mr.. Carroll replied:
II decline to answer such questions.
You cant frighten me-"
Mr.. Carroll made the admission that
what Mr.. Croker says goes" and ac-
cording to him also, 1t goes with every
body connected with Tammany Hall or
holding his Office through the good
wishes Of that organization.

LAnoa NEWS NOTES.

The display made by organized labor
in the parade yesterday was SPLEEN
did showing of what has been accom-
rlished in this section ofathe state by
union labor. Large as the parade was,
tie strength of labor in this city and
vicinity, and had the parade feature of
the day been in the evening instead of
the afternoon. there would have. been
fully 5000 people in line, There We're
over 1000 as it was, and while. many of
the, places OF business in the city We're
closed. it was impossible for anything
like the entire number of representa-
| tiyes of organized labor to be in line.
The float of the brick1ayers was unique
and the full strength of the organiza-
ton was represented. The plasterers,
stone masons and plumbers also had
beautiful floats. The display of the
bottlers' union was the largest in the
parade. The painters were out in full
force, as We're the printers and allied
buildino laborers. The bartenders'
league was among the best appearing
delegations in line. The cigarmalsers'
union had the full strength of the
organization in the parade, including
the strikers. The latter were cheered
along the line of march and the blue
label was advertised extensively. The
BARRIERS union was another fine APP
lpearing delegation in the parade. The
tailors were out in their new fall suits
and made a fine showing. The electri-
cal workers, including several linemeu
equipped with climbers and various
tools were out in large numbers. The
holders, machinists and teamsters were
also largely represented. M
The local tailors have been successful
in getting the scale signed by the en-
ploying tailors and every tailor in the
city is now member of the union.
The success of this organization goes
to show that when friendly feeling
exists between employer and employe,
1.-THE matter of wages and hours
can be adjusted satisfactory to all con-
cerned.
The local miners unions have levied
an individual assessment of 25 cents
per week for the fund to maintain the
strikinr cigarmallers. The assessment
will continue as long as the strike is
on.
The retail clerks have grown so rap
idly that there are at the present time
only few competent clerks in the city
outside of this organization. Their dis
play in the parade yesterday demon
strated their strength and advance
ment.
A petition has been filed in the cir
cult court at Kansas City, Mo-, for a
formal degree of incorporation OF the
American Equal Wage UIflon. This il
an entirely educational and philanthro-
pic organization, whose object is to
compel the payment of. women ON a
basis OF equality with men.
An order for 400 steel gondola ears
for use on the Egyptian state railway
has been received by the Pressed Car
company, MeKee's Rocks, Pa.
A union labor league was organized
st Louisville, KY, last week. The chief
purpose in this organization is TO make
clear the fact that they will not sup
port for public Office any candidate who
Goes not give assurance that he will en-
aorss and support the cause OF organiz-
cd labor.

orator at Belle Plain, in giving the or
ders intended for the Muchakinock coal
train to the passenger, and vice versa.
She said that both trains were run
ming very fast, and met near a curve,
making it impossible. for those on
either train to see their danger in time
to stop. Mrs. Craver was thrown
against a window and sustained injur-
les about the head. Everyone in the
