Carriage Drivers in Chicago Prepa=-
ing to Strike.

Chicago. Dec "A strike of the
carriage drivers in Chicago liveries be-
came almost a certainty last night
when the negotiations that have been
in progress for some time between the
drivers and the liverymen'S aSsocia ton
were broken off. The drivers and their
employers were unable to come to an
agreement over the question of hours
and wages and the representatives of
the men left the conference after an
nouncing their intention to call a strike
at the next meeting of the union.
AS result of the prospective strike
order it VIII be impossible to secure
carriages or vehicles of any kind from
Chicago liveries after next Wednesday
morning.
Even funerals will be affected by the
strike of the iverymen- The drivers of
hearses belong to the carriage drivers
union and will be ordered to strike
with them.
The trouble between the liverymen
and the carriage drivers has been
brewing for some time. The men de-
mand S14 for a week of seven days at
II hours each. The liveries offer S12
for seven days of IA hours each.

There is a good freeze on the Kenne-
hec river, as far as it goes, but there are
many open places and it is estimated
that the proportion Of the river which
is now closed by ice is about two-thirds
of the ice cutting area. The river is
open in places from the Rich ice houses
al Tarlningdale, to the foot of Swan is
land. There is an open place at ltichs,
another from Browns island to the long
Pier at Farmingdale, and another from
the Gardiner bridge to Tarbox shoals,
Just above where the Hancock houses
used to stand. Then there are open
places at Green's Lodges, at Nahumkeag
island and a stretch of mile and a
half at Haynes & Dewitt houses. There
is small opening at the head OF swan
island on the west side and the river
is closed from there down as far as the
Clark Chaplin place. On the east side
there is oren water for quite distance
above Beef rock and 4 small opening at
the FOOT of the island. At the houses
whose fields are closed the freeze is re-
ported to be excellent. The ice varies
from three to four and one-halt lnches
in thickness and is very clear. In re-
gard to the winters cut. the outlook
is considered favorable. though OF
course the size of the harvest is condi-
tional. The capacity Of the houses now
st:nding along the river is between
SOC, 900 and 100000 tons. and the ice LETT
over from last season will figure up to
about $4,000 tons and unless there
should he an unusually cold winter in
New York, there will undoubtedly be
plenty of work on the Kennebec ice

WHEELER sNUBBED BY VETS
He Was at the Reunion With a
Yankee Uniform On.

Veterans returning from New Or
leans have an interesting story rela-
tive to the alleged S nub to General
Joe Wheeler, who did not ride in the
parade on Friday afternoon beca use no
carriage was sent for him. For this
reason, according to stories from New
Orleans, General Wheeler left the re-
union rather in anger.
"The truth of the matter is" said
well-known Atlanta veteran, "that
General Wheeler came to New Orleans
in the uniform of United States off,
Ger, uniform he wears of a retired
brigadier. l saw him wearing this
uniform, and 1 also heard several of
his friends speak to him on the sub
ject. 1t was regarded as quite i'm
proper and out of place, and that is the
reason why no carriage was sent for
him and he did not ride in the parade.
"The veterans generally feel much
hurt that he should have seen fit to
attend the reunion wearing that uni
form instead of the confederate grey,
with which, in their minds, he has
been so intimately associated"

The Rabbit Foot Company, negro
minstrel organization which was IN
Dawson last Wednesday afternoon, had
the music of the band to meet with a
rude and unexpected reception and
discovered that it's serenade was not
at all in harmony with the workings
of the superior court, which was in
session.
With blowing horns and beating
drums the parade marched mp Stone
wall street, and as it approached the
courthouse lawyers and spectators
rushed hurriedly out of the courtroom
to get view of the procession. This
action did not meet with the approval
of Judge Sheffield, and stopping the
procedure of case in hand he ordered
the sheriff "to go down and stop that
band or arrest the whole crowd"
Deputy Slade hastily went down to
execute the command, but he had
understood the judge to order the
bands arrest without any ado, and &C.
cordingly put himself in the middle OF
the street and stopped the professions
further advance by arrestiug the whole
company of music makers.
A look of Mortified amazement spread
over the faces of the gaily uniformed
hornblowers when the officer OF the
law ordered them TO file up into the
courtroom, and it was rather crest
fallen lot that moved into the presence
of the Judge.

MILLIONS OF BURIED GOLD.
Money Supposed to Have Been
Buried by Soldiers.

A dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle
from Guthrie, Okla, says:
The finding of 81, 900, 900 buried treas
ure is reported from Vining, small
town on Salt Fork river in western
Oklahoma. The treasure was unearth-
ed on the farm of Charles Morland,
who gave his consent to a mysterious
stranger digging on his land, provided
he would give Morland one-third of
the treasure discovered.
The farmer received $500, 600 and the
m MYSTERIOUS stranger Immediately disap-
neared. He came into the neighbor-
hood recently, presumably from the
east, bringing a map describing the
location of the treasure.
Asalnut box was struck % feet I'M
foreground, which contained the money.
Stories Ct buried treasure On Salt Fork
have beeA rife for several years in
western Oklahoma. The treasure was
supposed 10 have been buried ny a
band of American soldiers during the
Mexican war.
