STEAMFITTERS OUT
AT COPPER WORKS.
No Work for a Helper and the I'm
ion Men Quit-WOrk Still
Continues.

The union steamfitters at the Rari-
tan Copper Works, four in number,
are out on a strike. There is some
trouble between the management of
that concern and the union in regards
to the employment of helper for a
steamftter. In conversation with a
News man a steamfitter said:
"The whole trouble is this, a men,
ber of the union. who was employed
in the cellar of the tank room, had
one helper. He was notified that
after a certain date he would
have to do that work himself, as there
was not enough work to keep two men
going all the time. The union rules
say that every steamfitter shall have
helper, so the steamfitter quit and
the rest went out in sympathy with
him.
There seems to be but little chance
of the men returning to work as the
company has apparently filled their
places, and work does not seem to
have stopped.

Shuck Married This Morning.

When George A. Schultes and Miss
Matilda Clara Schuck left their homes
in coach at 6. 30 O'Clock this morn
ing and drove to ST. Mary's church
on Centre street, to be married, they
were congratulating themselves on
the clever way they had outwitted
their many friends whom they knew
would be up to the usual pranks.
But they counted wrong, for when
they started down the steps of the
church after the ceremony, it seemed
to them that rice came from every
nook and corner and for few seconds
it appeared to rain rice. The newly
welded couple got into the carriage
and were driven raridly away.
The bride was dressed in blue
travelling dress with hat to match.
The bridesmaid was Miss Mary
Schuck, sister of the bride. Rudolf
Schuck, brother of the bride, acted
as best man.
After their wedding tour, MIR. and
Mrs. Schultes will reside in this city.

TO LEVY TAX
ON OYSTERS.
Test Case Now on in Cumher-
land County Which will &C.
eide the Matter.
OYSTE M EN- OPPOSE.

Upon presentation of the facts by
the Cumberland county assessors, the
state board of taxation has decided
that the value of the interest repre-
sented in the oyster beds of the state
must be taxed, and that the interests
In the oysters planted is the same as
personal property in the cattle, poul-
try, etc. of the farmer. A protest
has been sent in against the decision.
Trenton, June 80. The upholding
of the Cumberland County Board of
Assessors by the State Board of Taxa
tion in the matter of the right to tax
the oyster industry will now undoubt-
edly bring into the courts the final
determination of the question, which
has been discussed for the last eighteen
years. The Cumberland county as
SCISSORS will proceed under the ruling
and tax the industry as personal pro-
perty. The oyster beds have never
been taxed, and the States only
revenue from them has been the rent
ais paid by oyster growers, who hold
leases from the State. TheIoystermen
of the State are mp in arms against
the proposition.

Danish SOCiabIe A. C. Awards
Contract for New Structure to
AxeI WiCkStrOm.
WRESTLING LAST NIGHT.
Club Held a Meeting and Gold Chain
Awarded Twenty new Members were
Admitted Much Enthusiasm Manifest
ed-New Club House will be Complete
in Every Particular.

At the meeting of the Danish So
ciable A. O. last night twenty new
members made application for men,
bership and they were admitted. The
last wrestling match between the
light weights for the gold chain took
place. Myers Hansen downed Walter
Mathiasen, the man who won the
chain last month, and the chain was
awarded to Hansen, the time being
just minutes. Peter Hanson and
Otto Jorgenson went at it in the good
old way, Hanson came out the winner,
the time being 8 minutes and 8 sec
onds Chris Larson downed Peter
Anderson in minutes and 1 second.
Morgan Larson won from Martin Lar
son in minutes and l second.
Some time ago J. S. Hanson, of
New Brunswick avenue, agreed to
build the Sociable A. @. q new club
house with all modern improvements
if they would agree to pay certain
rent for the building every month.
The building committee, I'll. p. Han
sen, P. H. Christianson and @. Larson,
were empowered to look into the
matter and they decided that this
offer from Mr.. Hanson would be
acceptable.
Bids were called for and last night
they were opened. The lowest bid
came from Axel Wixstrom and he was
awarded the contract. The new
building will be erected in the rear
of the present club house on a lot
about 25x100 feet. The lot is the pro-
perty of J. S. Hanson. AS soon as
the weather permits the building will
be started.

FOUR HORSES
NECESSARY.
Garbage Wagon Fast in the Mud
in Washington Street and De-
Iayed for an Hour.
NEED OF PAVEMENT.

The need of pavement in Washing
ton street was manifested this morn
ing when one of the garbage wagons
became fast in the mud in that thor
oughfare near State street and re-
mained there for about an hour before
it was gotten out.
For time the driver tried to have
his own team move the wagon, but he
was unsuccessful and an extra team
had to be summoned. With the four
horses pulling at once the wagon was
finally gotten from it's position. The
fact that Washington street is one OF
the principal thoroughfares in the
northern section of the city, makes
the affair this morning the more
noticeable An ordinance has been
passed by the Board of Aldermen to
pave Washington street with vitrified
brick. When it requires four horses
to pull a wagon through the mud it
would seem that the pavement is a
necessity.

RIVAL LOCAL. CONCERNS.
Already Large SmeIter-Work has begun
to Increase its CapaCity-SOm Idea of
Its Size is Given Contractor Mercer is
Very Busy With Two Large Iobs at
Present.

Contractor G. W. Mercer has just
been awarded the contract to build a
number of extensions to the DeLamar
Copper Works in Carteret, which,
when completed, will double the
working capacity of the plant The
plant as it stands today is a very largo
affair, but when the present plans of
an enlargement are completed it may
prove successful rival to the local
Raritan and Guggenheim smelling
plants.
The work of excavatlng for the tank
house, which will be two stories high,
not counting the cellar, and 200 feet
square, has already begun and Mr.
Mercer is making preparations to be-
gin the work as soon as possible. The
fact that the tank house alone will be
as large as a small city block, will
serve to form an idea of what the
present plans for doubling the capa-
city of the plant are.
The plans call for the extension of
almost every building of the plant,
including the building of two new
wire bar furnaces.
Mr.. Mercer was recently awarded
the contract for the erection of the
Cheeseborough plant here and he is
now considered one of the busiest men
in this section.

doZen places, reaching far across the
low ground, fencing the valley from
stream bed to the southward slopes,
crowned by its swift-sailing crest of
hot, sitting fume, came tapping and
seething and sweeping across the
level, licking up the dry buffalo grass
like so much tow, mounting higher
and ferccr with every second, and
bearing down upon the little grove
and its almost helpless defenders in
fearful force, in resistless fury-a
charge no bullet could stop, an enemy
no human valor could hope to daunt
or down.
"Quick. men" yelled Ray. "Out
with you, you on the west 'front.'
Stay you here, you others! Watch

shelter of the bank, out from the
thick of the cottonwoods, out to the
open prairie, straight toward the
coming torrent of flame still, thank
God, full roo yards away, but leap
ing toward them with awful strides.
Out with him rushed Field, and out
from Clayton's front sped half a
dozen old hands, every man fumbling
for his match box; out until they
reached a line with their captain, al
ready sprawled upon the turf, and
there, full an hundred yards from
the grove, they spread in rude skir-
mish line and, reckless of the
mad chorus of yells that came sweep
ing down the wind, reckless of the
clamor of the coming charge, reckless
of the whistling lead that almost in

turf about them, here, there and

they, too, had launched wall of

they ran for their saddle blankets,

burst forth on the northward side,
