IL seems that orders were received at
the yards from the Eastern office 10 the
effect that none OF the men hired during
the strike should be discharged in favor
OF the old men.
About 67 OF the old men applied at the
Pomroy yards and were told that only
70 were needed. These men were picked
out and among their number one man
who had never worked I'm the yards.

This action angered the men and they
refwused to go to work.

THE CENTRE OF TROUBLE.
The difficulty seems to be centred in the
yards OF the Eastern Coal company,
where the strike originated. A coal dealer
in summing up the trouble this morning
said that the teamsters In the employ OF
the Eastern company were worked much
harder that the teamsters OF other COM
panies.

shocking discovery was made at 40l
Pine street at o'clock this morning. for
the names of two more victims had been
added to the long and steadily increasing
list OF persons who had perished from
gas asphyxiation
This accidental suffocation, for the au-
thoriues do not find anything that would
support a counter theory, occurred in IA
family that was always noted among
their acquaintances for eccentricities
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.
The victims were Mrs. Eliza Richmond
~ years old, widow OF Ebenezer Rich
mond, who was a partner in the old ma
chine firm of Volney. Mason e. Co, on
Lafayette street, and Sarah ]. Doe, her
daughter who was 46 years old.
Ebenezer Richmond resided at the cor
ner OF Friendship and Summer streets
and had wife and two daughters. After
one OF the latter died, tn family moved
TO the corner OF Pine and Summer
streets, which property they also owned.
After Mr.. Richmond's death the daugh-
ter Sarah j., married Mr.. MARVEL.
from whom she quite soon after secured
a divorce.
Mother and daughter lived on the sec
ond floor OF the house and never ate eth
er together or at the same table.
Last June Mrs. MARVEL married Frank
DOe, Formerly or NdkSalDOrO, Me, HOre-
man for Shaw, the sewer contractor.
Mrs. Doe kept up her eccentric table
habit and seldom ate at the same time
her husband did, often remarking that
she did not feel like partakins OF food
just then.

several days, and last night Mr.. Doe went

door to let her know that her daughter

The old lady Immediately went upstairs
and, probably finding Mrs. Doe was feel

for a while.
She did not disrobe but laid down out

ton OF pressure may have put IL out.

A NEW YEARS PARTY
Novel Reception Given by MT. and
 Mrs 0berfelder.

One of the most interesting and en- tertaining social functions of the sea son was kindergarten" party given New Years eve at the club house of the Country Club, by MT. and Mrs. S. Oberfelder.
 The application of the name to the party in itself advises the reader as to it's nature. The guests were all grown up people, who brought back the mem ories of childhood by playing childish roles again. They not only sustained their parts in their festive conduct, but most of them were attired in costumes appropriate to the parts represented The few who were not wore evening costume. The entertainment was l reproduction of kindergarten school with it's great big overgrown children but for the time being they were chii- dren just the same. The gentlemen were attired as schOolboys and the ia dies wore dresses appropriate to little girls so it might almost be called d masquerade.
 The cOstuming was unique and source of never-ending delight. When a guest got tired laughing at himself there were plenty more guests to laugn at. They were all there, from the tinI- est little tots not more than fifteen or twenty years old to the lads in the ad- vanced classes, who on ordinary occa- sions look like fit subjects for experi- mentation with highly recommended hair tonics
 Fourteen prizes were given to diff ferent ones in costume. The prize fo- the most characteristically dressed lady went to Rosabell Goldman. and the prize for the most characteristicallv dressed man was presented to Aaron Goldberg. The names of all who took prizes could not be secured, but among the others were Betsey Gang. Willie Jones, Danny Doolittle, Joseph Cassou, Jennie Akers, Dwight Heard and Louis Masten.
 Delightful refreshments were served during the evening. and beside the many childish games played there were music and dancing till all were satis- fled. The guests were:
 Charlie Ainsworth, Minnie Ainsworth. Frank Ainsworth, Augusta Afnsworth. Sylvia Ainsworth, Joseph L. B. Alexau- der, Amanda Alexander. Charlie Akers. Jennie Akers, Albert c.

A NEW YEARS WEDDING
Marriage of MT. George Felton to Miss
 Gerda Scott.

A very happy wedding was celebrat- ed last evening at the residence of the brides parents. Mir. and Mrs. G. O. Scott on Washington street, east of Eastlake park, when Mir. George A. Felton of Mesa city joined hands in marriage with Miss Gerda Virginia Scctt Justice J. NJ. Burnett performed the ceremony after which sumptuous wedding banquet was served.
 The bride is well known in Phoenix as she lived here when a child and again for sometime past though the in tervening nine years have been spent in Tonto Basin where she is universally popular. An incident that occurred here nine years ago during the fiesta horse races. will serve to recall her memory to many who have not seen her since. That incident was a running horse race between Miss Scott and her brother, the young lady winning the money. She is q most estimable young woman and has not yet forgotten how to ride a horse.
 The groom is the well known George A. Felton who gave the bronco riding exhibition at Eastlake park a few days ago and who has travelled all over the world giving the same sort of enter tainments. He is accounted one of the best if not the very best bronco rider in the world. He is engaged in the cat tie business in Mesa and in Tonto and has scores of friends who are pleased to know he is starting out the new year in the right way.
 An incident that added little humor
