still continue to sell liquor in different ways.
At Camden the saloon men organized a
club and received a State charter to run.

KANSAS CITY. Sept. Plate tonight
the credentials committee appointed by
President Buchanan. of the International
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, was
still in secret session, rot having yet broken
the deadlock which developed soon after
beginning its work at noon. Just what
question the committee is trying to settle is
problematical, but it is believed that the
seating of Sam Parks and his friends of
the rival delegation from New York is the
most serious difficulty which the committee
has to contend with. IL is confidently be-
lieved that the credentials committee Will
be ready to report when the convention
meets in the morning. Parks early to-day
predicted split in the International Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers if the annual session of the con-
vention should refuse to recognize union
No. 2. of New York city, of which he is
member The union had been expelled by
President Buchanan. and up to late last
night the credentials committee appointed
yesterday had wrestled with the question
of sustaining this action
A hitch had arisen in the committee on
credentials over night and when the time
for the convention to convene had arrived
the committee was not ready TO make It's
report. Nothing was made known or the
committees progress. and at ll.jU no
tempt had been made to call the conven-
ton 10 order. At that hour no further
statements were vouchsafed either by Pres
ident Buchanan Mr.. Parks
Earlier in the day Parks said to re-
porter: az do not care what they do. / am
going to win out in the end If the conven-
ton sustains the committee, We'll walk out
and go back to New York and continue our
little local of five thousand men. just like
we did before there was any international
union"
Before the convention opening President
Buchanan intimated that his candidacy for
reelection would depend on the conven-
ton s action in the Parks case. If the dele
gates from the union suspended by the
president are seated he probably will not
run.

LOGANSPORT, Ind, Sept. 22.-The diff
ficulties arising from the previous rental of
their prospective residence TO another per-
son which almost threatened the post
ponement of their marriage have been
amicably adjusted, and the wedding of
Edward j. Blouser. a prominent Logans-
port grocer, and Miss Laura Belle Evans
his business partner was solemnized last
night according to plans as originally but
secretly arranged
For some time past the bride and groom
have been joint owners of the residence
which they were to occupy after their mar
riage. but recently they gave DIR. NJ. A
Jordan a verbal lease on the property for
a year. Subsequently. however. the time
for the wedding was set and the persons
who were occupying the house at the time
were given orders to vacate. On the day
they were moving out DR.. Jordan started
to move in, but was prevented from doing
so by temporary restraining order issued
by Judge John s. Larry, of the Cass Circuit
Court. on complaint of Mr.. Blouser and
Miss Evans. The doctor, however. stood
on his rights. and as soon as the injunction
was dissolved took forcible possession of
the place by throwing a rock through the
window and routing Blouser who in the
meantime had stationed himself i'm the
building. Threats of ejectment on the part
of Blouser and of n suit for damages on
the part of the doctor were freely made
until last evening, when the matter was
adjusted, Blouser agreeing not to attempt
an ejectment and DR.. Jordan withdrawing
his threats of suit for damages.
The wedding ceremony was solemnized
in the parsonage of the German Lutheran
Church, Rev. Martin Tirmenstein officiat-
ing, I'm the presence of a small party OF
friends. After the ceremony number of
clerks from one of the downtown stores
endeavored to give them a rousing re-
ception, but the bridal couple outwitted
them by driving in cab through an alley
to the rear of the brides home where they
are now temporarily located.

American Federation.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--President
Whitmore. of the Stereotypers' and Electro
typers' Union of this city, made state
ment to-day to the effect that his opposition
to the Central Labor Union resolution sent

council meeting to protest verbally. but
that President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor refused to discuss the
case. Mr.. Whitmore said the stereotypers'
union is not and will not be involved in the
controversy.
