The knitting mill strike is still on. there
being only about one-flfth of the regular
force at work at the present time. The
merits of the case have been discussed pro
and con without any approach toward
the settlement of the difficulty each side
obstinately holding to its view of the ques-
ton This so. called !" strike" is In fact o
lockout-there having been no demand for
increase of wages--andg ha a. It's origin in
the organization of q union of the EN-
ployees several weeks ago. The managing
proprietor on ascertaining the fact, and
reasoning that this action indicated fol.
lowing of an increased wage demand, dis
charged the whole force, afterwArd telling
them that he would re.employ them on In.
dividual application. AT first the condi
ton was rejected by ALL but stern necessity
compelled perhaps twenty Of the former
employees to resume work. The Rev. Fa
Their Funke rector of ST. Mary's (R. G J
Church, was asked by Mr.. Kattermann to
act as intercessor, many of the girls he

On hearing the girls statement Father
Funke promptly washed his hands of the
affair Now appears another factor in the
field that may have considerable weight In
forcing settlement. A wealthy resident
of this town, strongly interested financially

that time he has been compelled to wear
an elastic stocking to properly contine the
leg and prevent another rupture. Lately
however, the trouble has greatly increased
and on Wednesday he was taken to St.
Barnabas Hospital, Newark, to have the
leg operated on.
The lately talked of consolidation of the
First and Grace M. K. church bodies will
undoubtedly end where it began-in talk
Each church has substantial congrega
ton and Is in a flourishing condition The
same condition, however, prevails to day
that prevailed about thirty years ago Jeal
ousies and heart burnipgs and petty bick
erings destroyed the harmony of the con
gregation at that time, leading to a sepa
ration and the formation of another church
body If by any chance should the two

One of those unAccountable accidents
that seem to defy forethought occurred on
Friday Mrs, Isaac Ike, of Lawrence
street, who has been Ill for some time, was
suddenly seized with a severe pain in the
side. Her daughter Irene Immediately
heated some water for the purpose of fill
ing a hot-water bottle to apply to her
mothers side Lifting the utensil from
the stove Irene stood ie on the sink whil,
she went for the bottle. not noticing that
that her little daughter, an infant some

behind her. She had taken but step OF
two when the child reached up aud pulled
the pail Of hot water over, scalding her
from head to feet She was immediately
cared for. For an hour or more she war
in great agony then the pain seemed TO
leave her and hope was entertained that
her injuries were not SO serious as at tirsi
