PLUMBERS DECIDE TO
STAND FOR DEMAND
Will Go Out on Monday II
Increase Is Refused Car
penters Also to Strike

Many persons interested in the local
building operations ara looking for
ward to Monday with a great deal of
anxiety, as that is the day that the
journeyman carpenters and plumbers
will go out on a strike unless they are
granted their demands.
At a meeting of the plumbers last
night it was decided by unanimous
vote to stand firm for their original de-
mand of $3.50 for a day of eight hours
and SO for juniors. The question wns
thoroughly discussed tlafore the vote
was taken. and it was nearly u o'clock
when the meeting adjourned.
Many of both the boss carpenters and
plumbers have granted the increase to
some of their men, but refuse 10 give it
to others.
While many OF the men will, strike
on Monday it is the general opinion
that it will not last long. as some COM
promise is expected to be reached in a
few days.
Should an attempt be made to secure
non-union men, bricklayels, painters
and other trades may go out, as the
carpenters and plumbers are affiliated
with them. and they would therefore
refuse to work with non-union men.
The masons employed by Ryan q
Kelley in the building of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad through this city will
not strike. as was reported. The men
are union workmen, but according 70
a special arrangement can work as long
as they choose on railyoad jobs. They
are new making ten hours a day and
are receiving thirty-five cents uu hour
They have been approached by several
union delegates who have triad 10 in
duce them to stop work but they have
refused, and no matter how many
strikes next week, the building of The
elevated will go merrily on.

ROMANCE IS
RECALLED BY
SMALLPOX CASE
Plucky Wife, Who IS Nursing
Stricken Husband, Found
Him on Hospital Cot
LOVE GREW WHILE WOUNDS HEALED
When He Got Well He Married Nurse
and They Lived Happily Until He
Was Stricken With Dread Disease.
Wlfe Remains True.

The case Of smallpox with which John
Cavender is suffering. and the fact of his
wife would not ALLOW lim to be removed to
tho Emergency Hospital, and Is nursing
him herself, recalls pretty romance con-
nected with the marriage Of the couple
some fhree years ago.
About that time Mr. Cavender who is
a railroad man was run over by a Drain
and one Of his legs was cut or. He w9s
taken to the Delaware Hospital. where
pretty Miss Levy q curse, was assigned
to attend him. During his convalescence
"a feeling stronger than friendship sprang
up between the patient and the nurse.
The affair finally terminated I'm the mar
riage OF the couple and until the small
pox came everything was as happy as the
day Is long. The d'sease overlook the
man and the litie house I'm East Ninth
street wus thrown into gloom. When the
authorities came to remove the husband
the plucKy wife came 20 the front and vol
unteered to nurse the man she loved back
10 health again.
The sequel Of the former illness Is now
being enacted and although the neighbors
pass on the other side OF the street the
patient wife IS ministering to the wants OF
her husband at the risk of her own life ant
winning the admiration of aa who know
the story

New Law and an Effort May Be
Made to Secure Its Aboli-
ton.

Within a few days the city dog catchers
will begin to take up an CANNES that may
be found IN the streets without muzzles

vlding that all dogs should be muzzled

more may be used this year.

employees entered the building TO hegin

lamp was still burning on table He
himself had disappeared, however. A
little later what remained of his body
was found in the bottom Of a vat of
boiling potash.
The last seen OF Schiclcling alive was
at 6 o'clock last night. when he entered
the works TO begin his vigil. The
other employees left at that time and
the watchman was left to himself to
keep up the fires during the night
One OF these was near this pot of
potash. The chemical is used in
bleaching and it was necessary to keep
it hot. It is.supposed that schickling
while passing by was seized with an at
tack Of vertigo and fell over the edge to
his death.
The action of the potash had been
rapid. The man must have been killed
almost instantly. The chemical then
started to eat into the flesh and By the
time the body was discovered there was
little none than IA skeleton for the ccro-
ners deputy to view.
Schickling had recently been subject
to fits Of vertigo. He was 60 yeass old
and lived at the northeast corner OF
