Carpenters Strike.

When six o'clock struck Saturday
afternoon last, the carpenters of this
city to the number of about go quit
work until certain demands made On
the contractors were complied with.
The strike order was issued by the
president of the local council of Car
penters and Joiners, leo A. NEWMAN.
Some time ago the workmen issued a
new scale of wages which range from
$1.50 to 50 90 per day, instead of what
Is now being paid; and for 9 hours a
day instead of 10. The men claim that
the contractors paid no attention to
their demand and did not answer it.
So when Monday came none of the
union men went to work, and nearly
all of the buildings now in course of
construction were tied up.
There have been several conferences
of the contractors and workmen, but
as yet nothing definite has been agreed
upon.
Contractors Fretwell, Stoddard and
Blackburn have q number of contracts
on hand and il the men remain firm
there will be great trouble in securing
the necessary help to do the work.
Messrs. A. J. Livick and B. F. Part
low have been employing men who do
not belong to the urion, and so are
NOT 80 badly effected by the strike.
AS We 60 to press we lear n that the
carpenters and contractors have come
to an agreement and work will proba-
bly, be resumed this morning.

Dr. W. W. Keene, of Philadelphia,
one of the most noted specialists in the
country, came here Saturday, to
perform an operation on DR.. FL. H.
Haas, who shot himself last week. DIR.
Keene, assisted by Drs. Armstrong and
Catlett, removed both of the patient s
eyes and extracted the ball from his
temple, and at first it was thought be
might survive. But Monday night be
took turn for the worse from which
he never rallied, passing away about
II O'Clock Tuesday morning.
DIR. Haas was native of Harrison
burg, about % years of age and was a
son of the late Charles Haas of that
place. He was graduate of the Vir-
ginia Military Institute, and of the
medical department of the University
Of Virginia. In 1895 he was appointed
assistant surgeon in the U. 3. navy,
and did active service on several war
vessels and different naval stations
until ill health interfered with his
work, when he was grated sick leave.
His brother, Mr.. Il. N. Haas of Har-
Iisonburg, was with him to the end.
and too the remains to that place for
burial.

4 Veteran from Bath Joins StonewaII
Jackson Camp.

Capt. John 7. Bird of Bath county,
was in the city Tuesday, and his name
was presented at Stonewall Jackson
camp that night by an old comrade,
Lieut.. Carter Berkeley, as that of a
most gallant soldier. He was unanl-
mously elected member of the camp.
Capt. Bird commanded cavalry
company at the close of the war. He
was devout man as we'll as brave
soldier, and, like Stonewall Jackson,
would sometimes pray in battle. A
comrade tells it of him, that being
with Gen. Early's command when he
advanced upon Washington city in the
summer of 1864. Capt. Bird was
among those in the front and riding
up and observing the small force of
the enemy upon the breast works de-
Tending the city, he thought the place
would be taken at once. He dropped
the reins of his horse upon the animal Is
neck and raising both hands, with bis
eyes uplifted to Heaven said: II thank
thee, oh Lord, that thou hast delivered
the capital city of the enemy into our
hands and not man lost.''
Capt. Bird. who is an elder of the
Presbyterian church at Wiliiamsville,
is attending Lexington Presbytery
now in session at Hebron church.
