NO TRUOBLE
 IN SIGHT.
Bosses Ignore This
 Communication.
Painters Only Graft in Which Workers Are Un- easy What a Local Elm. pl0yer Has to Say.

There is talk of trouble this season between some of the bosses and the building trades alliance, but so far mo- body appears to say much about it. Some time ago communicat ti0n repre-
 senting the structural iron workers, plumbers, painters, electrical workers and others was submitted to the Mas te Builders association for full recogni- ti0n of the union, but 1t was returned without any action being taken on 1t. One of the bosses said to-day that the trouble a0ng the painters has been brought about by the introduction in the past couple of years by many non union men. Painters receive from g. 50 to 8 a day, but when you deduct the time they loose few of them aver age more than $1.5O the year around. He considered the painter the most abused man in the building business and thought he was entitled to more pay, more respect and better treatment in every respect He knew nothing about the others, but just the same he acted as if he felt like saying that none of them are getting too much. This however is not question of wages. but an effort to bring about the union shop something which some of the bosses don't want, although others say they don't care one way or the other
 The men will hold meeting in the near future to discuss the situation.

RELATIVES AT ODDS.
Children of the Late James Wallaco
 Want Property Divided.

The case before Judge Thayer in tho superior court to-day is very inters esting one and likely to be longer than. is expected. It is family row over farm of eighty acres In Prospect and q mortgage of $500. The plaintiff io| Grace A. Wallace and her childrenss Ernest and Minnie D. Adams, and tho defendant is her daughter. Lillie CraW,. son. All reside in Prospect. ss
 On October 10. 1903, James WalIscok husband of Mrs Wallace, died intestate leaving an estate as above mentioned. Under this condition the property would be divided equally among tho children after the widow was given. her share. But Mrs Crawson Inter- viewed her brothers and sisters and in. duced them, with fraudulent intent and purpose to quote the complaint to quit claim their rights and interestol in the estate to their mother. the plains. tiff. After the deeds were duly record. ed Mrs Craws0n proceeded with undue and improper influence" says the conis. plaint, to persuade her mother to deed to her the entire property. And shoI succeeded. 3 VhSh thc OtuCI CulIuKth ut3AIu VXl what their mother had done they roeo up as a unit and demanded that Mn Crawson reconvey the property back to their mother.

BUCKS HILL SCHOOL.
Voters of District Hay Effect . Settle
 ment this Evening.

The Bucks Hill school contention was not heard to-day, although it was down for hearing in the district court on a motion to dissolve the in- junction. Attorney Seery, who had the injunction issued. claimed he was not properly notified of the proposed hear ing. The voters of the district will hold a special meeting this evening and will try to effect a settlement. William Tyler, the man back of the injunction, claims that the lot on which the school is proposed to be built has not been paid for. Still 1t is the impression of some members of the board of educa- tion that 1t has been paid for and that 1t cost $500. If this is so, Mir Tyler will have a hard job trying to recover the money for the district, if he ever sets out to do so.
 It is very likely that special meet ing of the hoard of education may be held, for some of the members are dis posed to tell the objectors on Bucks Hill what the power of the board Is in the matter. One or two members are 30 stirred up that in view of the re ports of the unsanitary and insuficient conditions of the building, they favor closing the school until a new and proper one is erected. The taxpayers would then have to pay a special tax for the education of their children in the nearest school to Bucks Hill.

FEARS ARE UNFoUNDED.

St Petersburg, May 18.-The fears expressed here yesterday that owing to the reported nervous breakdown of vice-Admiral Rojestvensky, the Rus sian fleet in the far east would lose it's present r-in-chief turns out 2 to be unfounded. Captain Zilottl, the aide de camp of Minister of Marine Ayellan, to-day authorized the state ment that Rojestvensky has not ap- piled to be relieved from duty. How ever, the condition of the Russian ad- mirars health continues to be source of anxiety. It Is confirmed that the re- port that he had applied to be relieved may have arisen out of the virtual de cision in view of the condition of Ro- jestvensky's health to send Vice-Ad- miral Birileff to Vladivostok, where in the event of Rojestvensky's success in the coming battle Birileff will take over the su- preme command of the Russian naval forces in the far east and occupy a post similar to that of the. late Vice Admiral SIakaroff at Port Arthur and of vice-Admiral Skrydloff at vladivos- tOk.

OCEAN LINER GETS OFF
 SAND AT FLYNN'S KNOLL
Cunard Vessel Floated this Forenoon Wreciers We're Beginning to Give Up Hope-The Vessel Was Not Injured at All and Will Start Again To-Day When the Tide is Right to Let Her Pass Ont Gracefully

New York, May 1S.-After lying for thirty-six hours embedded in the sandy bottom on Flynn's Knoll, the shoal three-quarteIs of mile off Sandy Hook, the giant Cunard liner Caronfa was foated to-day just as the wreckers were beginning to abandon hope that she would be released before portion of her cargo was removed. As the big ship glided gracefully and easily into deep water and swung slowly half around, apparently uninjured from her mishap a cheer went up from the pas sengersy who had been involuntary prisoners almost within sight of the New York docks since last Tuesday. The Caronia came off the shoal with her stern pointing ont to sea and at once started to steam back toward the city. It was supposed that this was because the narrow ship channel did not afford sufficient sea room for the big steamer to swing around and 1t was believed that she would run up to Gravesend bay and once more turn her nose toward the sea and again begin the delayed voyage across the Atlantic.
 On arriving at the entrance to the 'Narr0ws, more than mile off Sea Gate, the Caronia stopped and for some time lay still, without attempting to turn. Whether her hesitancy and re turn was due to some injury not ap- parent above the water line was not clear.
 The Caronia struck on the bar dur ing the dense fog last Tuesday after noon, in the pilots effort to avoid a collision with another vessel. Repeat ed efforts to float the big ship were made and the efforts were renewed at high water to-day. For more than an hour the tow boats strained and tugged at the big hawsers and the Caronia' s screws churned the sea. After the tide had begun to recede, however, and as the attempt was about to be aban- doned for the time being. the steamer began to slip from her bed in the sand and few moments later she was rest ing free with deep water under her keel.
 Among the cabin passengers on the Caronia were Mir and Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, Miss Ethel Barrymore and her theatrical company, and Lady Brassey, wife of the owner of the yacht Sunbeam which started in the transatlantic race for the Emperor William cup yesterday.
 It was announced at the office of the Cunard Steamship Go that the Caronia would resume her voyage at 4:3O D. m. to-day so as to pass over Sandy Hook bar when the tide was all most full. It was also stated that the ship was not damaged by the accident. Captain Warr sent a message from the Caronia saying that the ship was in need of nothing.
