organized Bachelor s Club, of Media,
is determined to keep its members
from going as tray, as was manifested
at regular meeting Of the club last
evening. A member did not mater.
ialize and a committee Of one was
sent for him at the home of promi-
nent young lady. The absentee re-
fused to accompany the committee
and the entire club then went after
him with determined air, and the
absent one was brought to the meet
ing aud severely reprimanded.
At the close he returned to the
dwelling he had quilted, but was fol-
lowed by the president, who stayed
until the young man departed. Tho
member gave as an excuse that he
was teaching the young lady 10 play
cribbage, and in order that he might
not have the same excuse again, the
president confscated the crIbbage
board. The affair in general, conduct
ed as it was, so openly, is creating
considerable gossip in social circles.

STRIKE IN OTHER STATES.
New Hour Day Being Granted in the
East and West,

eleven hundred striking machnists out
in this district today. Two hundred and
twenty-six of those who went out have
returned to work, some being out only n
few hours.
Not one Of the $500 machinists in
Worcester quit work, as most of the big
shops have been running a nine hour
day for several months. No attention
has been paid to strike orders. AT
Lawrence the strike has not affected any
local concerns, and the proprietors an
ticipate no trouble. Lowell machinists
are not taking part in the strike. The

the 1000 general electric machinists are
becoming uneasy.
New London, Conn, May 22.-D. Il.
Wilton Chuck and Drill Company today
offered its 100 employees nine hour day
if they would not join the union. The

ganizer O'Neill of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor is here tonight comforting
with the committee appointed on Satur-
day by local machinists, and machin-
lists union will probably be formed.
Indianapolis, May 22.-Many Of the
manufacturers Of this city and other
places in the State granted the demands
Of the machinists today for nine hour
day and an increase in wages, but some
are still holding out and in few cases
non-union men are being employed. The
machinists in the Lake Erie and Western

Baltimore, May 22.-Two of the ma
chine shops which were deserted yester-
day by the machinists offered to make
concessions to the strikers today. Mr..

'stitute days work, with proper
tionate reduction in wages. This propo-
sition was rejected by the machinists.

manufacturer had offered to arbutrate
the differences, but they refused to give
the name of the company. There were
no additions to the strikers ranks this
morning.
Cleveland. May 22.-Four more Cleve.
land manufacturing companies gave in to
the striking machinists today, making a
total of eighteen companies that have
acccded to the demands. The four sur
rendering today were the Cleveland
Foundry. the Cleveland Pneumatic Tool
Company and two others, the names of
which the machnists refused to give out.
,fhe fight has narrowed down to one be-
tween the machinists and the Cleve.
land Manufacturers Association, to
which belong all the companies which
have not granted the strikers demands.
Scranton. Pa. May 22.-Nearly four
hundred moulders were forced to ouit
work today at the Dickson shops as a
result of the idleness of the machinists.

December opened Il to &c higher at

awakening of the bullish spirit that

December sagged early to 701ac. Later
there was news of some fair exports
and shorts covered till December
touched Tic. Then the market turned
profoundly dull and wheat bought ear
ly began to come out again. December
closed barely kc lower at 70ssc, hav-

NEW YORK, October 15.-10:00 a.
m.-London prices are irregular, show
ing unimportant changes either way.
The street is inclined to look for con-
tinuation of the firmness that devel-
oped in the local market yesterday af-

eral situation does not offer encour-
agement for higher prices as rule.
Little or no attention has been paid in
recent weeks to the corn crop failure.
We notice this morning that Prime

bushel crop is more likely to prove too
large than too small, and there can be
no doubt that railroad earnings will
