Roebling's Sons Company at Trenton,
will be notified in a few days of an
increase in wages Of from eight to ten
per cent. This advance has been de-
cided on by the company and the
heads of the concern have about com
pleted the rearrangement Of the wage
schedules of the men who are to be
benefited.
The raise of wages will involve
others than the laborers who work by
the hour but it will be largely con.
fined to that class.
The laborers now receive about
eight dollars, week for 81 hours
work. The eight and ten per cent
raises will mean from sixty to eighty
cents week more for each man and
there are about 1000 of them.
The Roebling company grants this
increase in the absence of any de.
mands for more pay ON part of the
men and it is only part of movement
to pay every man employed according
to his true worth.

biIt and his bride will take rank in
Paris and New York as one of the
wealthiest and most fashionable cou-
pies in the world.
Mr.. Vanderbilts wealth is between
$7O,OOO,OO0 and $9o,OOO00O. OF this
amount he inherited $50,00O,O00 in his
own right. Mrs. Rutherford is believed
to be worth $10,O00,OO0.
The social ambitions of Mr.. Wander
bilt, cut short by the divorce from his
wife, now Mrs o. H. P. Belmont, and
those Of Mrs. Rutherford, twice blight
cd by death, now promise to be real
lied. Mr.. Vanderbilt had practically
just gained the free use of his great
Inheritance when his domestic tragedy
upset his plans His 100000 palace,
located ON Fifth avenue, which for
half a dozen years was looked upon
by him as a mere place to live in, will
now become the center of the ultra
fashionable. Mr.. Vanderbilt will take
his old -plao< IirvSociety in New York,
afEnaa,aelt thing>are expected from
lis beautiful bride to be.
: It has been said of Mrs. Rutherford
that no more beautiful, graceful, tact
full and witty woman ever graced a
fashionable ballroom in this city. She
Is possessed ola wealth of golden hair,
wide open violet eyes and regular fea-
tares.
The wedding will take place at 6
whitehall gardens, London, the resi-
asnca of Henry White, secretary of the
American embassy, whose wife is Mrs.
Rutherford's sister-in-law.
Though the utmost secrecy has been
maintained by Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mrs.
Rutherford and the close friends to
whom they confded their romantic
plan, some of the details of the court
ship and engagement have become
known.
Mr.. Vanderbilt first met Mrs Ruther-
ford in this city after the death of Sam
uel 8. Sands, Jr., her first husband, and
prior to her marriage to the late Mr..
Rutherford. After her second marriage
he met her a number Of times in Paris.
Gossip has it that when Mr. Wander
bilt sailed for Europe last fall he was
secretly in quest of the hand and heart
Of her who fer a second time had be-
come widow. His quest was reward
ed only little more than a month ago.
It was then planned to keep the Sc
Oret as long as possible in order that
their mutual desire for a quiet wed
ding might be realized. Had it not
been for the necessity of Mr.. Wander
bilt securing court order in this city
permitting him to marry again it is
doubtful If the international romance
would yet have been made public.
The head of the Vanderbilt family
was forbidden to marry again when
the decree of divorce was granted to
the present Mrs. Belmont. Justice Gle
ssrich in the supreme court removed
the barrier.
That 1t is a genuine love match the
friends of Mrs Rutherford and Mr.
Vanderbilt agree. Chauncey NJ. Depew
is especially pleased, as he has beer
Mr.. Vanderbilts closest adviser fol
more than twenty years.

Unless the employers agree to the
demands of the men, all the union
bricklayers, stonemasons and plaster
ers in Newark, will strike on May 1
for an increase of five cents an hour
to 60 cents an hour. This is five cents
less than is paid in New York and 10
cents more than the present price in
most New Jersey towns.
The difference in pay has made q
scarcity of workmen in these branches
of building in towns near New York,
and in Trenton the employers have
been paying go cents an hour, or five
cents more than the established rate
there because men could not be had
for less.
If the strike occurs it will stop
work on the new City Hall, the Court
House, the. Pennsylvania Railroad
work and many private building en-
terprises in Newark.
1t is understood that the laborers
also will demand an additional five
cents an hour.

around the siege gun where Forrest
had been checked with fearful carnage
of it's defenders and sent them to the
points of danger. That was FORESTS
opportunity, but his brigade was out
Of the fight for good. So rapid had
been the firing of the infantry that
their ammunition was nearly exhausted
The only reserve supply at the post
was in a section that had been cut off
by the charging Confederates from the
main part of the garrison around the
siege gun and near Colonel Harding's
headquarters. Three out Of nine Of the
Illinois companies were in rifle pits
near the ammunition. Adjoining these
were some rifle pits which had been
abandoned early in the fight. Just at
sundown the Illinoisans at headquar-
tiers arose from their pits with a yell
and started at double quick for their
ammunition. The Confederates who
lay in the pathway ran from the field
without an attempt at resistance, and
when darkness fell the garrison held
the same works as at the opening of
the attack.
Soon after dark Wheeler again sum-
moned Colonel Harding to surrender,
saying that he had not yet put half his
force into action and would renew the
attack. Again Harding spurned the
idea Of yielding.
But the danger was not over. Forrest
had penetrated within short canister
range Of the siege gun in his boldest
charge, and the advance line Of the en-
envy lay within 100 yards of the main
rifle pits. The guns were short of fric-
ton primers, and the siege piece, being
too heavy to remove, was spiked and
abandoned.
A council was held in the Confeder-
ate bivouac which decided to suspend
the attack. Later word reached Wheel
up the river loaded with Federal troops
and conveyed by gunboats. Warned by
this and the stubbornness Of the de-
Tense, he ordered a retreat.
Colonel Harding's loss in battle was
sixty-four killed and wounded, a trifle
in comparison with that of the Confed-
crates. Wharton's command lost eighty
five killed and wounded and Forrest
over 200. % -: -
General Wheeler's explanation Of his
failure to retake Donelson was that his
soldiers were shcrt1of ammunition. The

their leader killed, the troopers turned
and fled.
With the repulse of Forrest, Hard
1ng's men again occupied the old lines.
A thirty-two FOUNDER siege gun was
brought to bear upon the threatened
point and double shotted with canister.
Forests men rushed forward, to be
met with the canister at ten PAGES.
Colonel McNair of FORESTS staff and
several other officers, together with
scores Of men, fell. Harding had
massed 300 mon on the ridge near the
guns. Against this line Forrest rode
with dozen men of his escort to with

horse was shot, under him, and the
sturdy fighter, who all along had OPP

the retreat.
Wharton's attack was not less des-
perate than that of Forrest, but owing
to the formation Of the ground and the
lines in that quarter the defenders kept
the assailants at distance. After the
loss of the gun Colonel Harding sent
two more pieces into action against
Wharton. His infantry In their rifle
pits withstood the assaults of enemies
outnumbering them ten to one.

= s the first anniversary of Grants
~ capture of Fort Donelson drew
"a near General Joe Wheeler and
the ubiquitous Forrest set out
at the head of their cavalry bands to
retake that valuable stronghold. The
Confederates had never recovered from
the chagrin caused throughout the
south by the loss of the key to Tennes-
see.
: AS the campaign stood in the west at
the close of January, 1868, the recovery
Of Donelson might reverse the whole
military situation. Grant was tied up
with his Vicksburg projects on the
Mississippi, and Rosecrans, the Federal
commander in Tennessee, had his
match in Bragg, whose army Wintered
within striking distance of Nashville
Nashville was the base Of Rosecrans'
army, and it's fate would follow that of
Donelson. Should both fall again into
the hands of the Confederates Tennes-
see would soon be as bare of Yankee
soldiers as it had been before Grants
irruption with battalions and gunboats
in February, 1862.
Fort Donelson guarded the Cumber-

ates to bar the river against Federal
