foreman at the Union Malleable Iron
company's plant at East Moline, on
Seventeenth street and Twelfth ave
nue., was visited by fire Tuesday af-
fernoon that practically destroyed the
entire interior of the building and did
damage to the extent of about $1,000.

kitchen, probably by spark from the
chimney. and before they could be
checked he'd spread to the front por-
ton of the house. causing great
damage TO the building and its con-
tents. The house was remodeled. and
refurnished only a year ago, and Mr.
Ecklund will now have to repeat the
performance.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
Republican Plurality Is About 3D.
5OO-The New Leg
islature

White River Junction, VT, Sept s.
With only two small towns missing,
the republican plurality of 31,500 in
Wednesdays election is believed to be
within few votes of the correct fig
ures. Four years ago it was 31,312. The
total vote for governor without the two
towns is: Bell (rep.), 1881; Porter
(dem.), l6,492-a republican plurality
OF 3l,449. The missing towns had a re-
publican plurality last year of 68..
The next legislature will be more COM
p1etely controlled by the republicans
than for many years The returns from
22l towns show that the senate will be
soldily republican, where last year there
were five democrats. Returns for the
house show 1876 republicans, 80 demo-
Gratis, 3 Independents and citizens
members. Last year the democrats had
SO members in the house A feature OF
the incoming legislature is the large
number of prominent 1nen, many OF
whom have filed more prominent state
offices and who apparently desire to re-
turn to public life.
The legislature elected Tuesday will
return Redfield Proctor to the United
States senate.

strikers END THE
LONG Struggle
BUTCHERS AT THE CHICAGO
sTOCKYARDs ARE ORDERED
TO RETURN TO WORK.
Accept Terms Offered by the Pack
ers-Cost of the Strike to En-
p1oyers and Workmen Estimated
at $13, ,375, 900.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The executive board
of the union butcher Workmen Thurs
day evening abandoned the strike
against the meat packing plants and
ordered the members back to work.
The terms under which the men re-
turn to work are the same as offered by
J. Ogden Armour last Saturday and
vote They are in substance that the old
employees shall be reinstated as fast as
possible, being given preference when
vacancies occur; that the wages of
skilled butcher workmen will remain
the same as before the strike, and that
there will be no discrimination against
any man because of his connection with
labor organization
Begun July IL, the struggle continued
for eight weeks and three days. A week
after the strike was first called they
made peace with their employers under
a favorable contract, which gave them
practically all they had demanded. The
second %walkout occurred the morning
work was to be resumed under that con-
tract. 1t was charged by the packers
that the union broke the agreement by
this act, and since then the organiza-
tions steadily lost ground. In Chicago
a few members deserted, and in other
packing centers thousands abandoned
the fight. Desperate means were re-
sorted to to stem the tide, but the pack
ers continued to operate their plants
with better and better success. At the
last the only thing left for the union was
complete surrender.
The total loss by the strike in wages
to butcher workmen is $2,575 900, and to
allied tradesmen, $sOo,Oo0 more; esti-
mated loss to packers, $7,OOO,OOO; to
stockmen, railroads, ETC., $4,000; total
estimated loss, s13,375 900.
