THE ELECTRICAL WORKERS.
The Union Not Satisfied with the
Contrnctors' Proposition.

The Union Not Satisfied with the
Contrnctors' Proposition.
Tire members OF local Union No. 26 of
the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and
their employers failed to reach an AMIGA
BILE settlement of their differences yester-
day. This is great surprise to all con-
cerned, for it was generally understood
the terms agreed upon between the repre-
sentatives of both parties on Wednesday
night would be acceptable to all concerned
and that the agreement would have been
ratified last night
From what was learned last night II ap-
pears that the employing contractors are
willing to stand by the terms agreed upon
at the conference held on Wednesday night
This agreement, however, was amended at
meeting OF the Electrical Workers Union
held yesterday morning. which added a
twelfth clause to the contract heretofore
published. The additional section, which
the contractors refused to accept, is as
follows:
1t is hereby agreed and understood that no
employer party TO this agreement shall discrimi-
nate against any member OF Labor Union No. %
in the matter OF employment for taking part in
the strike Of July 10. 1879; and il Is further
agreed that. in the matter OF employment, the
former employees shall be given preference.
The terms of the agreement formulated
at the conference Wednesday night with
the above section added was submitted to
the contractors last night, who. after a
long and serious consideration of the mat
ter decided to accept IL as amended. Al
though the contractors maintain that there
are some other changes in the original
agreement of Wednesday night, there is
no objection. as they would make no ma
tsrial difference in the final results.
After the conference OF the contractors
they met the representatives of the Elec-
trical Workers Union and informed them
of their action. The representatives of the
union stated that they were not authorized
to accept the contract, but would submit It
to the union. which will meet this morning
at 10 o'clock. AS the result of this semi
official conference between the contractors
and the representatives of the union last
night the contractors addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Electrical Workers
Union:
We submit herewith a signed agreement which
was agreed upon in conference July TO- Your
--latest form of agreement submitted by your
union embndes clauses which were not con-
sented to agreed upon at the conference re-
ferred to. Consequently, must decline TO
sign the same. Our understanding is that this
is to be final.
Accompanying this letter was signed
copy of the terms of agreement arrived at
on Wednesday night.

Cancer In Trees.

Paris. July 2O.-Interesting details are
published concerning DR.. Braz's recent
cancer researches. DR.. Braz found para
sites similar to that of the cancer in frag
ments of diseased wood, particularly apple
wood. He obtained the governments per-
mission to inocculate forest trees at Meu-
don with culture of human cancer and six
months later he found spots of dry rot in
these trees. The trees were principally
beeches. naples, and sycamores. One elm
tree died of cancer so communicated to it.
DR.. Braz does not conclude that animal
and vegetable cancer are caused by one
specific fungus, but he is convinced of the
extreme similarity between several dis
eases of plants and animals.

TAI Humphrey Street, this city. and an
heiress to several millions. was yesterday

six years old, in the employ of her uncle

Phillips. On many occasions she would
have Kennedy drive her about. and for a
long time it was noticeable that they were
paying each other much attention. Her
relatives were dumbfounded when their
niece and Kennedy drove up to the house
this afternoon and coolIy announced that
they were man and wife.
1t seems that they had planned the af-
fair for some time past. as Kennedy. who
is Catholic, was Obliged to get dis
pensation granted by Archbishop Will
Jams, of Boston, allowing the ceremony
TO be performed in the Catholic Church.
Miss Phillips was Methodist.
Kennedy is OF Irish parentage, and has
been in the employ of the Phillips family
for several years. He is very cookbook
ing, and this is thought to have had some
influence over the Phillips girl. In the
past her uncle had forbade her having
anything to do with the eoachman. She
needed for a while, but would not give Up
her attentions Even while she was in the
high school in the spring she was often
cautioned by her girl friends about her
conduct but she claimed that her uncle
and aunt were SO strict with her that she
was bound to do as she liked and enjoy
life.

at the door. She did not tell anyone at
home where she was going. She was driy-
en- to the residence of Catholic priest in
Salem. where the ceremony was perform
ed in the presence Of two Of the girls
friends. After the knot had been tied
they drove home together, where they an
nounced what had taken place.
The uncle Immediately discharged Ken
nedy and attempted to keep his niece from
seeing him. but she got out of the house,
that she could not be found at late hour
tonight.
Mrs. Kennedy's fortune. several million
dollars, is held in trust for her by her
uncle, and it is a question whether he wi
allow her any OF the allowance until she

theatres, both in London and New York.
to Messrs. Nixon & Zimmerman. of Phila-
delphia. has practically been completed.
Unless some unforeseen hitch occurs in the
negotiations the deal will be closed within
the next few days.
Messrs. Nixon & Zimmerman are mem
bers OF the syndicate OF theatrical manag-
ers to which Messrs. A. HaymaR, Charles

bination all over the United States. The
London theatre is now in litigation. but
should Mr. Daly's representatives win. as
they have every hope of doing now. 1t. too.
will pass into the hands OF the syndicate
managers.
Shortly after Mr.. Daly's death Messrs.
Nixon & Zimmerman enquired Of the ex-
ecutors if the theatres were on the mar
ket. After the will was read negotiations
were begun at once, and in a few days an
option was given the Philadelphia manag-
ers on both houses. The next move in the
matter will be taken on Saturday when
Messrs. Nixon & Zimmerman have an ap-
pointment to meet former Judge Daily and
Mr. Richard DoFney. two of the executors
of the estate, and it is confidently beliey-
ed by everybody concerned that the deal
will at once be coIsummated.
Samuel P. Nixon said last night that 1t
was the plan OF his firm. If they secured
the New York theatre, to conduct 1t pTac-

with the proposed purchase Mr.. Nixon pre-
ferred to say nothing at present. As has
already been stated, however $50 600 is
the figure fixed by the executors for the

10:30 O'Clock last night. Cliff
ford Farley. of Trenton. shot his sweet
heart. Katherine Donaghue. and then put
bullet into his own brain. The shoot
ing was the result of repeated refusals
on the part of the girl. who was but eight
cen years old. to accept the young mans
offer of marriage. II is said by physf-
clans who are attending the couple that
both will probably die. 1t was in Bona
parte Park that the couple had their final
conversation. Miss Donaghue SUDDENLY
left Farley's side while they were listen
ing to concert. Farley followed and
shot her. Before anyone could grab him
he had turned the revolver to his own
head and pulled the trigger.
