Yarn Has Been Poor.

On account of bad yarn, en-
ployes Of the Charles Taylor Com
pany Hosiery at Thirteenth and
Hoplar streets, have not had steady
work for several weeks Their work
is such that when inferior yarn is
used it in some manner interferes
with the work and consequently one
or two days are being lost each
week. 1t is said the present condi-
ton of affairs is not the fault of the
local company, but themanufacturer
from whom the yarn is bought.
Employees are unsatistied but do not
blame the company. 1t is said that
a new lot of yarn will be used in a
few days which will remedy the
present trouble.

Criminal charges have been pre-

The second day OF his visit he met

'.but do want my children. And
l am going to find them if they are
on top of EARTH"
Town, village and city were
visited, but the fugitives had left
no clue behind. A week ago he
heard from Harrisburg. where, it
is said, Beck has a wife and child
that the couple had come to this
city. Sealer came here quickly.

wife and Beck. Then he told his
story 10 Patrolman Foley, Of the
Tenth aud Butonwood streets

was an affecting one.
Il care nothing for her or Tor
him." said Sealer, pointing to
Beck aud Mrs. Sealer, "now that

feet that that body had provided in
the proposed franchise to the
Brandy wine Railway Company for
damage to water mains by reason
Of electro'ysis.
Chief Engineer Bond reported
