count Of Circus

Throughout the city the strike situ-
alton remains the same as yesterday,
with the exception that employees of
those firms who have acceded to the

Company. Diamond State Steel Com
pany, Jackson and Sharp, Remington
Machine Company, and other shops
where accessions have been made work
is going on as usual.
No meetings of importance were held
by the strikers this morning, and all
took a day OF to attend the circus, So
far there has not been a single in
stance of disorder among the strikers,
which has created much good feeling
by the public for the men. The Har-
Ian and Hollingsworth Company are
closed down to-day, owing to the fact
that many of the men stayed out to
go to the circus.
Trump Brothers, after a conference
with the Strikers Committee, granted
the demand at 4 o'clock yesterday af-
ternOon. The company is very busy It
employs about sixty machinists

The company offered them SO a day

told them that they wanted nothing
but what had been asked for. The com.
pany then, seeing that the men were
in earnest, granted the request. At the
shops where the demands were grant
ed yesterday it was agreed that the
men return to work at the new. seal,

Small Boy and His
Elders

II was 10 o'clock before the circus arr
rived to-day. and the heart Of the small
boy. who had been a-prowl ever since
daylight, had gone with a dismal thump
into his very boots. His elders felt very
much the same way. but they would not
have admitted it for something pretty.
Numerous discussions have been over
heard the past few days as to who should
take the children to the show" One
mother of an interesting brood was heard
to declare in martyred tone that she
supposed she would have to go for the
childrens sake, but when her husband Of
fered 10 relieve her of that onerous duty
she rcbelled and compromise was ef-
fected by both agreeing to take the
babies.
The cause of the delay in the arrival of
the show was due TO derailed car. The
first section arrived shortly before 10
o'clock. and the second section short
time later. But. with so much dispatch
and military precision did the circus men
act. that the train was unloaded in a re-
markably short time. OF course the pa
rade was late, but the crowds that lined
