EVIDENT INTENTION.

With which enianatic answer he
concluded the conversation on the
point. Last night he went to Phila-
delpha and from there will probably
go to Dayton. o. His absence will
cover several days. Superintendent
Clarke was seen after Master Builder
Garfield. and from a remark made by
him. it was very evident that the COM
pany is thinking seriously Of moving
the shops. While he declined to dis
cuss the matter at length. he did not
deny the rumor, and stated that there
might be some information to give out
on the point within few days.
We do not. however, he declared

any means. We are glad to see the
Very orderly and quiet manner in
which the men have conducted them
selves thus far, and hope and trust
they will continue to maintain the
same attitude during the continuance
of tn" difficulties" 4 most significant
fact which lends credence to the re-
ports of the remova. of the shops is
the fact that while men are being
daily recruited for the machine shops.
hardly any effort is being made to run
the car shops. and the working force
at present is little larger than the first
day the men went out.
The first acts Of disorder which have
vet occurred in the strike took place
yesterday afternoon. at the Lacka-
wanna station. when twenty five Inn
ports" arrived from HobOkeu on the
I.43 train.
Early in the day the car builders
received the following telegram from
n machinist stationed at Hohoken.

cOrdingly on the lookout and when the
train pulled in there We're proba bly,

few belonging tn the strikers ranks.

special Agent Adamson led the men

The crowd burst into a derisive chorus
Of OpprobriouS names, and finally
some ill-advised small boys threw IA
few stones at the rather shabby fe-
ures of the imported men. Chief
Adamson then dashed at the crowd,
and with the aid of his specials man
aged to restore partial order, while

BILLIARD CUES.
How They Are Mndc-imcricn Fur
nishcs the Best.

"Most billiard cues" said New York
manufacturer the other day, are made
In two picccs-thc cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally OF
maple, and the butt, which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into Il handle Of
rosewood, SnakeWood, ebony, mahog-
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood, which is cut to dOVctail with the
long part.
"Thc maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
to the shape of the handle in lathe,
and when the butt has bccu fitted 1t IS
finished and polished
"rhc finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means Of
double wedge, At the top of the cue II
