MEN WILL REMAIN OUT
DESPITE THE POSTED NOTICES
That the Department Will Resume
To-Morrow Morning = Conflicting
Rumors as to the Situation Which
IL Being watched With Mnch In
teresf.

In spite Of the fact that notices nave
been posted at the Riverside mill in Ben
wood to the effect that part of the plate
department will resume Thursday morn
ing and the remainder next Monday morn
ing, it is reported that the employees, be-
tween whom and the management wage
question has been existing for some weeks
past. met last evening in Bishops hall, on
the South Side. and decided to remain out
until a satisfactory settlement is reached.
1t is claimed that If the plate depart
ment resumes according to the notices
posted that some of the men will refuse
to rturn to work under the present condi-
tons, and it Is also rumored about the
plant that those who fail to report for
duty viii lose their positions, Therefore
the future developments in the situation
at the Benwood mill which is quite singu-
lar as far as conflicting reports are con-
cerned, will be watched with keen interest
by those interested in industrial matters.
1t was reported that the difficulty between
the employees and tn management was am
icably adjusted at a meeting of the men
Saturday night, and later was denied by
at least one workman who was present.

Magician Kellar Tonight.

Magician kellar Tonight.
This is a progressive age, and II
there comes time when the courts
seek more rapid method of divorce
making than that now in vogue in
some of the states they will but have
to call upon Magician Kellar. He has
perfected device that does away with
trials, alimony, counsel fees and all
the impediments of the modern divorce
court, and at the same time is so in
stantly and completely effective that
the lady who is to be disposed Of dis
integrates into thin air and nothing
whatever is left to tell the tale The
lady is placed in a chair, suspended
by four ropes from scaffold-like
structure, and then the magician fires
magic pistol at her, point blank. AL
though the room is brightly lighted
and there are no screens or curtains
of any sort the lady disappears and
the empty chair falls to the floor The
lady has vanished in smoke and air,
whichever you prefer, and no trace
of her is left. She doesn't even have
time to get in the last word. Of
course, this is but an Illusion. but it
is one of the most perplexing that the
great magician has yet produced. 1t
is but one of series of almostx.a
dozen, each of which occupies the l.
tire stage of the theater. This season
Kellar goes deeper into the mysteries
of oriental magic than ever before,
and some of his work is apparently
almost supernatural. He will present
his entire entertainment, as announced
in this city, at the Opera House to-
night.

scene was laid on Market street, near Al

trouble began when big Pittsburg saloon
keeper accused Jack McClelland of having
a streak of yellow.
Finally another Pittsburg started to
clean up for Jack, which Jacks friends
resented. The result was the assailant,
VIM. Breigal was the recipient of
severe beating, so that his head had to be
sewed up by surgeon. His clothing was
rent into shreds by knife in the hands
of one of the rough house boys. The
knife however did not enter the flesh.
Police Officers Ingram, Lawson and
Knabe appeared on the scene but the
bunch saw them and skipped. after five
arrests had been made. They were Brie-
gal, Thomas Byely, George Corcen, Lup-
ton Frame and J. Miller. They were all
fined IS and costs by Mayor Sweeney in
police court yesterday morning.
The police secured McClelland at the
time, but could find no Information against
