The general delivery service inaug-
urated here some days ago by q. W.
Wambsugh is proving popular and is
destined to grow rapidly. Already
Mr.. Wambsugh has four more patrons
than when he inaugurated the service
which means that the delivery system
at present embraces eleven of the
grocery stores of the city. 1t is safe
to say that the grocers who have en-
ployed Mr.. Wambaugh's service could
not be induced to go back to the old
method Of delivering. Seven wagons,
six regular trip wagons and an emer-
gency wagon, are now In use. Six de-
liveries are made on each day save Sat
urday, when eight deliveries are made.
Each deliveryman has his own terri.
tory which he covers In . given period

Cincinnati, Nov 23.-Charged with |
various degrees OF lawlessness in con-
nection with the strike of the union
molders of Cincinnati, Covington and
Newport, KY, a half dozen men are
under arrest and others are under sur
veillance. Those in custody are iWil-

with murder; Eugene Trainer, charg-
ed with murder; Thomas Bracken.
charged with murder; Fred Rauhaus-
er, jr., charged with malicious de-
struction OF property; Fred Rauhaus-
er, ST., and John Hook, charged with
aiding and abetting the destruction OF
property.
A warrant was issued Tuesday for
Joseph Valentine, president Of the
Molders' Union of North America, but
as he is out OF the city the service
could not be had on him. Valentine
telegraphed from Cleveland that he
would be here to-day. The headquar-
ters of the Iron Molders' union are in
this city, and it is claimed that Presi-
dent Valentine has been directing the
strike that has been in progress In
Cincinnati, Covington and Newport
for several months During that time
there have been disturbances at DIFF
ferent foundries and on the streets of
the three cities. On October Samuel
Weakley, a non-union molder, was
killed and Frank Brown, who accom-
panied weakley, narrowly escaped
from strikers who assaulted them
During the past few days the situ-
alton became more threatening around
| the foundries and attempts were made
Monday night to blow up two Of them
with dynamite, one in this city and
the other in Newport, Ky. No arrests
have been made in Newport, although
| the situation is more threatening
there than at any other locality. The
| arrest of the father and son (Rau-
hauser) in this city, charged with
| dynamiting the Eureka foundry, and
their alleged confessions duplicating
others, promises sensational develop
