ployers' Association and the committee

joint council. with full power to settle
the strike. all negotiations were declared
OF al 9 O'Clock tonight and there is no
immediate probability of a settlement.
The union submitted a number of prop
ositions. which the employers fatty re-
fused TO consider at all. Chief among
these was that if the strike be declared
of all the police and deputy sheriffs who
are now protecting non-union men should
be withdrawn. The employers refused
to consider such a proposition for an in
slant, declaring that they would main
tain the guards as long as there was the
slightest chance of violence.
The teamsters also demanded that if
the strike be declared off the business
houses refuse to receive from or deliver
to the express companies any merchan-
disc. This proposition. which was a vir-
tUal demand that the boycotted business
houses assist the teamsters in. their boy
cott against the express companies. was
also promptly declined by the employers.
Another demand by the teamsters was
that all strikers be given positions before

STOCKTON, June THE wedding of
Charles 3. Morse and Mabel Swain
Plummer. which did not take place at
the First Presbyterian Church to-day,
is the subject of much gossip through
out the city. The wedding was set for
1890. The guests arrived early and in
large numbers. for both parties are
widely known and many invitations
had been sent out The organist was
in her chair and Pastor ]. w. Lundy
was on hand, ready to perform the GER
emony. The hour of the wedding ap-
preached. arrived and passed, but
neither the prospective groom nor the
bride put in an appearance. Finally
Rev. Mr.. Lundy was summoned by tel
ephone to the Swain residence, and the
guests departed, gossiping busily, but
really not knowing the facts
Charles Morse was employed until
few weeks ago in this city. He was an
industrious young man. except in the
matter of paying his bills, SO it is al
legged. At any rate, when he went to
San Francisco several days ago, a
large number of bills against him were
placed in the hands of Constable Nc
Chan for collection.
McGhan learned that Morse was to
arrive in Stockton yesterday and be
married to-day, and the officer haunted
the places where he was expected. This
morning McGhan was ready to serve
his papers at the foot of the altar if
necessary.
The prospective bride, finding that
her affianced one did not arrive as per
agreement yesterday, or last evening,
wisely remained away from the church.
In the meantime a friend of Morse had
telephoned from San Francisco that the
intending groom had sprained his an
kle and could not come. A message
was sent back telling him never to
come.
Mabel Swain Plummer shed no tears.
Friends expressed sympathy for the
bride that was to be. but she stated
that she was entitled to congratula-
tions instead.
