CHAPTER XVII.
THE QUARRY.

Half ah hour later Sturgis was walk
ing briskly downs Broadway, with his
usual air of absent-minded concentra-
tion.. Presently he turned into side
street and at once slackened his pace.
He now sauntered along like a lounger
at loss how to kill long, idle day.
The show window of a brio "a -brac shop
arrested his attention. He stopped to
examine its contents.
A little farther up the street was
liquor safoon, outside of which stood
a group of boisterous young rowdies.
An elder man, evidently in his cups,
was seated on an adjoining stoop,
where. with maudlin gravity, he seemed
to be coIamuning with himself.
On the opposite side of the way stood
a low, dilapidated brick house. A
painted sign over the windows of the
ground floor bore the name: "MAN-
HAITIAN CHEMICAL CO."
The drunken man rose unsteadily to
his feet and approached Sturgi4 with
outstretched hand.
Say, Jimmy. get on ter his nibs

claimed one of the young ruffians.
Thewretched-looking individual thus
designated seemed hardly able to stand
az he stesdied himself against an iron
railing; but the eyes he turned upon
Sturgis we're bright with intelligence
and the words he spoke were uttered in
a low. firm voice:
Hes been here-been here twice."
''Twice?" echoed Sturgis, surprised.

ORGANIZERS At WORK
Securing Me m bers for Brorncr'
hood Of Railway Employees
--Pittsburg Center Of
Operations.

From Staff Correspondent.
PittSburg, Oct. 29.-Ol ganiZerS OF tn Q
new United Brotherhood of Railway
Employees, the organization of railroad
men recently born in the southwest,
which is ambitious to displace all the
railroad mems unions, the locomotive
engineers and firemeEs, the switch
mems, the trainmen's and the con
duCtors' organizations, and br,ng them
all into the one union on much the
lines of Eugene v. Debs's old American
Railway union, have been distributed
all over the Pennsylvania lines west
leading out of Pittsburg.
The new organization claims to have
a hold on the Pennsylvania lines west
already, though those prominent in the
old organization deny that the move
ment has assumed any Importance as
yet. Two organizers have been located
in Pittsburg, and several others are
scattered along the line of the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago and
other western routes of the system.
1t seems likely that the new broth
erhood has at least 1000 members
among the Pennsylvania employees
They claim 10000 in the country. The
headquarters of the organization is al
San Francisco, and there are parts oi
the west in which the union is very
strong. This Is the first serious at
tempt to invade the east.

publican ticket, had not been certified
in that county was a mistake. Mr.
White stated that the names had been

board in Columbiana county, this being
the duty of the most populous county in
the district. He was at loss to &C
count for the report. To-day the Sec

from a staff Correspondent.

From a Staff Correspondent.
Columbus, O.. Oct. 29.-The Re-
publican situation at Alliance Is
receiving more than local attention.
AS mentioned some time sine, there
was word received at the state head
quarters that some good meetings
ought to be held there Senator For
aker, becoming alarmed concerning
private advices he had received, aske
to be sent to that locality. He went
and had a big meeting. At great ex-
peuse the Columbus Glee club, one of
the finest campaign organizations in
the state, was sent with him. He bor:
the brunt of the expense. 1t has been
urged upon the state committee to give
further heed to the situation. Unless
matters clear up it is not unlikely that
another speech will be given there the
night before election. 1t is said that
Colonel Morgan, who is a member os
Governor Nash's staff, has succeeded
in keeping the Alliance Republicans
fairly well in line for Nash, but that
Senator Foraker was not able to get
the situation for representative In the
shape he wanted it. II is claimed,
though, that the popularity of the
Democratic candidates has much to do
with the legislative situation. Word
has come from Canton that tho sill
ance matter is in bad shape so far as
the county ticket generally is con-
cerned. 1t is said in one letter that
the farmers are also considering the
taxation question and that falling
off in the Republican vote is likely
to follow. An evening Republican pa
per has a special from Alliance that
there is open revolt against the local
ticket, but claims that Senator For
aker was successful in his effort to get
matters fixed up for the Legislative
ticket This claim Is not borne out
entirely by the Canton advcas con
corning the same question. Senator
Wilhelm has been here seye;ai times
recently and it is said that the commit
tee is better satisfied with his chances
than with any of the others. It. Ii
claimed he will run ahead of his ticket
In Stark.
Opposition to Senator Archer. in his
district, is claimed to have been re
duced to a minimum.

started the enmity between Cox and

April last the board of education OF
that district passed resolution to
build a school house at cost not to
exceed $500, and advertised for bids
in but one paper, when the law re-
auires that 1t must be done in two.
Bids were to be received on the 17th
of June, and at that time but one bid
vas received, that of Samuel Brum.
baugh for 1,400, or nearly three times
as much as the enabling resolution
called for. AS there was no money In
fund, the matter was postponed until
October 1st, when this bid was accept.
ed without giving any further chance
for people to bid. 1t Is asserted that
the bid was not accompanied by any
guarantee, as required by law. AT
that time the clerk had not certified
that there was money in fund. nor had
it been levied or was 1t in process OF
collection. a......
The court was asked to enjoin the
contractor from proceeding with the
work, which he has already begun.
and to restrain the board from proceed
ing any further with the matter. One
of the other reasons given why the
building should not be built upon the
site contemplated, is that only three
children live within a mile and halt
of where 1t is proposed to be built,
while fifteen live more than a mile
and a half away, and many would be
nearer other district schools.
The court granted temporary in
junction which will stop all work until
the case is heard on its merits. Web
ber and Turner and A. w. Thayer rep
resent the petitioners.
