The National Iron Bank Bills Have
Been Initiated by Queer Makers.
Several counterfeit $5 notes of the
National Iron Bank in this city have
been passed lately on the box offices in
the Boston theatres Mr.. Foote, vice
president of the bank when asked
about them said they were some of the
old counterfeitS which were put in
circulation some time ago. He said
the counterfeiters first operated in
New Jersey, but of late have been
working in the New England states.
The particular notes are Of the series
of 1882, check letter "A," one of the
defects is the absence of the letter
"r" in the abbreviation Of cashier.
4 brand new note was discovered in
Boston by James r. Keene and Frank
Cauley in the receipts Of the Boston
Museum box office. 1t had been taken
in for tickets to "a Country Girl"
The note was shown the Boston police
who pronounced the forgery one of the
most sl<illful seen in that vicinity for
long time. The New York Sunday
papers last week told of the arrest of
the Italians charged with the murder
OF the man whose body was found in a
barrel, and alleged they were members
of band of countefeiters whose
speciality had been the manufacture of
$5 counterfeit notes of the National
Iron Bank of this city.

One Boss Painter Recedes From stand

One Boss Painter Recedes From stand
Taken and Yields to Demands
George Aldred, a boss painter, has
withdrawn from the boss painters
union and acceded to the demands of
the striking painters for $500 per day.
The remaining bosses are determined
not to "give in" and are backed in
their fight by the builders of the town:
The masons and bosses have ami
cably adjusted their troubles without
the necessity of strike, although the
masons do not receive all they asked
for, which was forty-tive cents an hour,
though they came within cent an
hour of it. They are getting forty
cents now and beginning with May /
will receive fourty-four cents per
hour and are apparently satisfied! No
concession has been made to the
masons' helpers and their STRIKE re-
mains the same.
Owing to the great rush of work, it
is said, the boss painters dedided
yesterday to give the painters the e3. 90
a day asked for, but no agreement to
that effect has been made. 1t is
understood, however, the men viii be
kept at work according to the rate
demanded.

the story of the bosses, defeat by the
following sign which he hung ih his
window:

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.
Two Wards Have no Trouble But the
Other Wards Fail to Make Any
of Importance.

The democrats made their nomina-
tions Wednesday night, and ever since
they have been in trouble. Most of
the candidates have refused to accept
the honor of cumming for several
reasons.
AS the democratic administration of
city affairs in particular, has not been
a bowling success, it is not strange
that there is an unwillness to ''stand. ~
In the First Ward, Mr.. f. j. Kault
was nominated for freeholder and Irv-
ing E. Salmon for alderman, but both
gentlemen have declined. Mr. John
Dacey and Mr.. George Wire were
unanimously chosen for the office of
justice of the peace, but they also
withdrew.
In the Second Ward, matters went
more smoothly. A ticket has been made
and all nominees signed their consent.
Freeholder Edward Mitchell and
Alderman Samuel Karn were renomi-
mated. For justices of the peace,
Thomas j. Farrell and Jacob Van
Wrinkle, and constable, John Lyons.
The Third Ward experienced the
same trouble as the First. Stephen
Breese was nominated for freeholder
and Clifford Fairchild for alderman,
but they would not accept. The
only person who could be hlduced to
allow his name to go on the ticket was
Benjamin Warne as nominee for
constable.
Michael Norris was renominated
for freeholder in the Fourth without
a struggle and Clifford S. Rutan for
alderman. For justices of the peace,
Patrick Hogan and Edward Dacey.
The Democratic school commission
ers are: Frank H. Fairchild, II. A.

RETAIL tLEaKs ORGANIZE
Held Meeting Last Monday Night.
Officers Installed


With nearly seventy charter mem
bers, the Retail Clerks association
organized under the sanction of the
National Clerks Union last Monday
night. The local union will now ask
the retail stores to close at 6.30p. M,
but only such stores as employ union
clerks. A display card will be given
each merchant who ''signs off, so he
may notify the general public to that
effect
1t is the purpose OF the association
to ask other union organizations in
the town to cooperate with them
and bring to bear upon the store
keeper an influence of trade. There
are many merchants, it is said, who
do not take kindly to this and will
not be dictated to by their clerks or
union when they shall open or close
their places of business. Others are
said to be very much in favor of the
movement. The result will be
watched with interest.

Newark, was present at the meeting
and installed the following officers.
