copal church are declared by the appel
late division OF the supreme court TO be
entitled 10 recover 800 from John j.

owned by him in this city. He asserted
he paid 500 10 David +. Goff whom
Ward claims was the agent OF the trus-
tees. the holders OF the mortgage
The case was submitted 10 the court
under an agreement that II Goff was de-
cided TO be the agent OF Ward the 800
must be paid and II Gof was the agent
OF tho trustees the mortgage was to be
discharged.
Judge Dubois writes the opinion, In the

His honor says: The indirect evidence

HANDLERS
OF COAL
STRIKE

The dove OF peace has not seen M 10
hover oontentedly over tn. coal yards OF
the city. and there is still some trouble be-
tween the employers at the several yards
and the men.
This morning there was started another
strike among the coal shoyelers and trim
mers. owing 10 a difference IN opinion as
70 the wages that ought 20 be paid. When
the hoisting engineers decided 10 return
20 work the coal handlers and trimmers
were put 20 work with the understand
ing, so the men claim. that the old price
for the work should be maintained. That
IS they were all - get 30 cents per hour.
With that understanding the men went
20 work last week and performed their
tasks contentedly til the latter part OF
the week. when the men Of the Eastern
Coal company were paid of When these
men found they were getting but 30 cents
per hour there was strike forthwith.
This morning IL was reported at the
other yards that the cut was 20 be general
among the dealers, and there was a con-
sultation between the men and the en-
ployers. At the Providence Coal COM
panys yards IL was proposed on the part
OF the company that the men work here
after with five men 20 the gang at the
same wages, instead OF six as has been
the custom. and the men took this 10
mean that there was cut In the wages
and they quit. This Is the statement OF
the officials OF the coal company.
The men say that Il was cut In the
wages from 35 TO 30 cents or So per week.
and they refused TO work for that amount
and went out. Nearly all the men in the
union have thus quit work and are now
awaiting some further move on the part
OF the dealers.
The controversy between the hosting
engineers and the Eastern Coal company
remains about the same. Last Saturday
the officials OF the union received the
check for the strike benefits coming to
the men not working amounting TO $500.
and this morning IL was distributed.
Tonight at the meeting OF the union
there will be the regular election OF the
officers. at which time the president and
business agent OF the union will d chosen
IN place or Mr.. T. +. Ryan, whose term
expired last Friday. Since the men have
voted 20 return TO work Mr.. Ryan has de-
cided 10 accept position i'm another city
and has removed his family there.
