BUILDING TRADES TROUBLES.
RntiGnn Wing Springs nm Objection
to the Terms of settlement.

The two factions of the building trades
are further from settlement of their diff
ferences than they were on Tuesday night.
According to the reports given out after
the meetings OF the factions on Tuesday
night only one of the terms of settlement
zwas rejected, and that by the faction
known as the Fitzgerald council. When
the representatives of the two factions met
in Joint committee last night il developed
that the faction known as the Ratigan
council also objected to one of the pro-
posed terms of agreement.
James l.. Feeney, Chairman Of the Joint
committee stated after the meeting that
while there are sti ! some minog differences
to be settled there is no doubt that the
factions will, during the coming week,
reach an amicabIe adjustment OF the whole
trouble. According TO the instructions
given the representatives Of the two fac

will be again referred to the two factions
for consideration at their respective meet
ings next week. klter this another joint
meeting of the committees will be called

TIE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Closes on and Bear Interests
Manifest Activity.

CHICAGO. Aug. 15.-After ruling steady
closed a shade under last night. The
sentiment is bearish and certain interests
are working for lower prices. The market
is apparently not receiving much support
and commission house trade is light. Liv-
erpool was comparatively steady, is low
er. Primary receipts were heavier double
last years. Primary shipments continue
on large scale. Clearances were 510,-
600 bushels. Cash demand here was slow
today, only 10000 bushels. The seaboard
reports only seven loads.
A good deal of attention today was paid
by the corn trader TO the small stocks,
to certain large holdings OF the Septem-
Der and the apparent oversold condition Of
those nearby futures. Those would not be
so significant if receipts were not so light
and the country offerings so small. The
inspection here this morning was only
al cars and the estimate for tomorrow
is lis. Liverpool was 1-Sd higher.
There has been heavy buying of Sep
TENDER oats by an interest supposed to
be long. Some put this buying as high
has sympathized in small way with corn.
With the exception of lard for which
there is an increasing cash demand, pro-
visions were easier, liquidating sales by
longs in September and October ribs and
rather liberal selling of January dellv-
cries by certain packers. The closing was
firm for lard Ribs and pork showed small
declines. The cash trade continues good.

The plans for the entertainment and
amusement OF the members of organized

more extensive and elaborate than in
previous years. and those in ch..-ge of

man; tickets. ]. H. Heisley, Chairman
athletic games E. ]. Ratigan, Chairman
donations. ]. II. Brinkman, Chairman;

chairmen OF the different subcommittee
reported that they are meeting with great
success in their preparations, and assured
the members of the general committee that
there will be amusement and entertainment
for all who participate in the celebration
at River View on Monday. September 8.
Among the athletic events arranged for
are game of baseball between teams rep
resenting two unions affiliated with the
Central Labor Union: 100-yard foot
race for men. and one for boys, sack

LITHIA AND BACTERIA.
A Scientific Joke on an Employc of
the Distric;.

One of the employees of the District Gov
ernment who is allowed the annual sum
of s5,0e9 to keep the wolf from the door
is said to have a peculiar aversion to the
water supplied through the city water
works. When he inadvertently drinks the
fluid supplied to the Capital City, which
comes from the murky depths OF the wide
rolling Potomac. this man of delicate in
ternal organism dreams OF dying and i'm
mediately addresses himself to squarlng
his terrestrial conduct with the moral
law to satisfy his own mind that every
thing will be all right IL he should pass
hence to the unknown.
IL order to fortify himself against pre-
mature death from Potomac bacteria the
said employe of the District of Columbia
provides himself with a favorite and
popular brand of Lithia water in gallon
bottles. These are secretly brought to
his office. 1t is said. to quench the thirst
resultant from hot weather. and the man
in question. so the story goes, can be seen
at intervals freely imbibing the healthful
beverage for which he parts with several
sous a week.
But there is another employee of the
District government who is something Of
q wag in his way. He draws a salary OF
S2,16O. This genial gentleman, in whose
makeup there is no guile, one day ex-
t-acted half pint of the Lithia water
from one Of the bottles lately tapped, ahd
inclosed it in a sealed bottle. He then
took another bottle and similarly filed
1t with water from the hydrant. These
bottles were then submitted TO DR.. Hird,
the obliging chemist Of the Health De-
partment, and were by him subjected to
analysis The report came forth few
days ago and the Potomac water was re-
ported TO contain s per cent of bacteria,
all harmless, while the Lithia water con-
tanned Is per cent of very dangerous bac-
terra
The analysis showed that the costly
commercial water. which was taken on
faith. was a good deal worse than some
OF the wells of the District that have been
closed by decree OF the powers thatbe.
In fact, it was literally loaded with death
dealing germs.
1t is said that when the $1,000 employe
saw the results of the analysts, he used
some 'cuss'' words. kicked the crate of
Lithia bottles out of his office. and has
taken to drinking Potomac water. 1t is
also said that he is rapidly recovering
bis health

bama authorities have since been trying
to get possession of him. For several
weeks Governor Heard. of Louisiana, re-
fused to recognize the extradition papers
of Governor Johnston of Alabama on the
ground that If jacob was taken back to
Alabama he would be lynched; nor would
he sign them until he got a pledge from
Governor Johnston that jacob would be
fully protected from the lynchers. When
the extradition was granted. the case was
carried into the Louisiana courts on writ
of habeas corpus. Here it fingered several
weeks. The final decision was against
Jacob. and the Alabama authorities came
over here 10 get him. Then Jacobs law
yers appealed TO the United States Court
and got another stay of proceedings. Gov
ernor Johnston again prepared to escor.
the prisoner back TO Alabama and to pre-
vent lynching detailed an escort chosen
from militia companies to protect him en-
route and obtained permission from Gov
ernor Heard for the Alabama troops TO
come into Louisiana. The order OF the
troops was countermanded today on the
information that an appeal had been taken
to the United States Circuit Court OF APP

It could be seen that the public was begin

The gold situation is a most interesting
one. 1t is certain that there has never
been time before In the history of the
country when the expectation Of $4,000
600 in gold 10 less than two weeks would
not have had any effect on the money mar
ket, and through that on the price Of

never time before when the country had
so much gold that IT was willing to sub
