 dent.
 The case of George Berube, admin istrator, vs the Consolidated Railroad Go for 5000, for the death of his g. year-old son, George, was decided to- day by Judge Elmer of the superior court, he giving judgment for the plaintiff to recover nominal damages of $50 and costs.

Everything was done that could be done to prevent the accident.

RETURNING ID WORK
Some of Strikers Donned Their
 Aprons This Morning.

Typographical Union Votes to AsslsC
 the Striking Machinists-Unless
 Settlement is Reached This Week
 Many of the Men Will Leave Town
 The Others Will Settle Down For
 a Long Siege.
 This is the critical week in the ma. chinists' strike Unless expectations of a serious character are realized be fore Saturday evening the climax may occur at any moment. This will be either wholesale exodus from the city of the men on strike or a detefmlna- ton to remain out all summer. The thrG4 tened deSertion from their ranks that was heard on all sides Saturday has not taken place; in fact, very few have deserted. These do not amount to a dozen. Two or three deserted to- day. some to the Farrel foundry, some to the Manville Machine Go and two to the Manville Bros. The men are well aware that the eyes of the city are upon them, and on them depends the burden of upholding labor's dignity as it was never before thrust upon any labor organization in this city. This is the seventh week of the strike and excepting the two picnics the public has not assisted the men. Even the other labor organizations have not ma terially helped them, so far as known If reports are correct different cOndl- | tions prevail in other places. The manufacturers are on the qui | vive, watching every movement of the men as it is reported in the papers. The Slightest indication of a change is not overlooked by them, and they see | a great deal where the average reader | sees nothing.
 i Regarding the occurrence which took | place near the Farrel foundry yester- day between desertef and striker nothing has been done, as the men | have not been able to reach Senator
 Kennedy. whom they are anxious to
 take up this matter with Representa- l tive Guilfoile.
 l The local typographical union, at a | meeting held last evening, voted to
 give. the machinists substantial aid to l a certain amount.
 Chicago, July 2.-Representatives of 1 the Iron Moulders' union and the Ma i tional Founders association, after an 1 all day conference, have failed to l reach an agreement and strike in- | volying 2,000 men is imminent
 A mass meeting of the moulders was held last night at Bricklayers' hall, which lasted until ? o'clock this morn
 ing. After a lengthy discussion of the | situation. in which several ballots were taken, the demands of the men were
 modified to a minimum wage of So S5
 day instead of s, and the national officers were requested to convey that
 ultinatum to the employers to-day. Unless the latter agree to it a strike
 will be ordered tonight
 Another mass meeting will be held
 tonight to hear the result of to-day's conference.

ANOTHER BANK CLOSED.
Superintendent of Banks Has Taken
 Possession of It.

Superintendent of Banks Has Taken
 Possession of It. Buffalo, N. Y., July 2.-Ihe Niagara bank, a state institution, has closed it's doors. The following notice has been posted on the doors:
 "I have closed and taken possession of this bank.
 (Signed
 "F D. KILBURN, Sup't of Banks E
 The Niagara bank was organized September 15, 1891. It had a capital. of $100.000. The officers are: President, P H. Griffin.
 Vice-president, NJ. NJ. Darke.
 Cashier, William T. Hayes.
 The chairmen of the clearing hoLsL committee, $. M Clement, said this morning: "The closing of the Niagara bank to-day has been brought about solely by reason of it's close connec- tio1f with the City National bank, it's president having been vice-president of the City National bank, and no other bank here is in any way affected.
 At the meeting of the clearing house committee yesterday at the close of yes terday's business, the Niagara bank was the only bank that applied for any assistance, and arrangements were made to give the assistance asked for, pending the report this morning by the banking department as to the solvency of the bank.
 MT Kilburn, the superintendent of banks, on his arrival in town this morning became satisfied that the bank could not get through with the assist ance asked for, and accordingly direct ed that it be closed in order to best protect all interested.a
 The bank superintendent was seen in the Niagara bank and when asked why the bank was cosed. He said: '.The main reason for this failure is the failure of the City National bank, in which the Niagara is involved to an extent not yet to be announced, but do not deem it safe to permit this bank to continue business any longer. As to whether this bank has been in trou- ble heretofore I have nothing to say"

NEW LAW MAKES TROUBLE.
Many Postmasters Ignorant of Money
 Order Repeai.

Washington, July 2.-The first day of the fiscal year brought an endless amount of trouble and complication to various departments involved by the changes in the internal revenue taxes. In the post office department at 3:30 D. m., yesterday 367 telegrams had been received relative to the abolition of the special tax on money orders.
 The department was slow in getting out its official notification to postmas- ters of the change. At scores of the post offices the postmasters refused to issue money orders unless the old war revenue tax was paid. This led to controversies between the money or der clerks and their patrons and the resultant reference of the question to the post office department This is the only part of the war revenue chang es involving the post office department and is expected to adjust itself within a few days.
 The question of redeeming stamps is exercising the bureau officials not little. Little difficI.7tys is exjected in making satisfactory arrangement ex- cept in relation to the bank checks on Which the stamps are imprinted. The banks have not been content with re- ceiving assurances that the stamps will be redeemed and cancelled by the bu- reau, but they want the checks return ed to them so they may not lose the investment in stationery.
 Complaints have been received by the treasury department from many sources that the international revenue bureau has been harsh and unreason- able in the conditions which have been placed upon the redemption. MT Yerkes pointed out yesterday that as commits sioner of internal revenue he had nof made a single rule or regulation, puv in all that has been proposed with ref erence to the imprinted checks he has followed the letter of the law. It is now regulation of his office. but provision of the law that no stamps will be redeemed two years af- ter the date of their purchase The same is true of the provision that the stamps will not be redeemed in lots of | less than $2

TWO DEAD, SEVERAL INJURED
Result of Lodging House Fire Early This Morning.

Butte, Mon, July 1.-Two dead, two severely if not fatally injured, and a score more or less hurt. is the result of a fire which broke out at the Pull man lodging house here this morning. The dead:
 Sam Mix, waiter, MissouIa. Mon.
 Ole Berg, carpenter, Butte.
 Severely injured:
 Billy Ryan, better known as Aus tralian Ryan," pugilist, jumped from third story window, seriously injured about head and legs.
 - Camp, jumped from third story window; internally injured and cut about head.
 Miss Crystal, proprietress of lodg- ing house, burned about body and in jured from inhaling smoke. A number of men were experiment. ing with a gasoline lamp in saloon on the lower floor of the lodging house when the lamp exploded, scattering flames in all directions. The building was wooden and before the fire de paftment arrived the flames had eaten through the lower floor and were | spreading to the upper stories. The lodging house contained about | 100 guests, none of whom were able to save anything except what they wore. Most of them escaped by jumping from the first and third story windows and it is miraculous that more were ! not killed. A number were carried out unconscious by the firemen, but so far as known all will recover. It is not believed that any except the two mentioned perished. The property loss is about $4,O00, with no insurance.

NEGRO LYNCHED.
Mob Wouldn't Wait to Find Out Whe-,
 ther he Was Guilty or Not

Mob Wouldn't Wait to Find Out Whe-
 ther he Was Guilty or Not.
 Suffolk. Va, July 2.-Without wait ing to prove whether or not the vic tim was guilty, but depending upon current report, mob of more than 100 Virginians yesterday went 10 the jail of Brunswick county in Lawrenceville, took away Joseph Walton, negro, and hanged him to Gholson's bridge above the Meherrin river. Walton swore he was innocent.
 The mob on arriving at the bridge fastened blow line around Walton's neck and tied the other end to one of the timbers. Then the victim was pushed off the trestle. The body in falling was taken up with jerk and then it swung round and round In the meantime the mob, not satisfied with it's work, began firing ar the body, which now was dangling in the air twenty y-fiye feet above Meherrin Riv- CT.
 One of the bullets pierced Walton's forehead, which helped to bring about a speedy death. Blown about like laundry in the breeze the body was left hanging till a late hour yesterday.
 Walton was accused of attempting an assault on a girl named Kate Clarke, who lives near Tripletts, Va. the daugh- ter of a wealthy and prominent plan tation owner.
 The girl had no chance to identify her assailant and there is no real proof that the negro was guilty.
 Tn the confusion incident to the talk ing of Walton from jail Lewis Fields, a criminal, escaped and has not been captured.
