 ary 1-StrlIxe of the Structural Iron
 Workers Officially Repudiated-Car-
 penters Get Substantial Raise, as Do
 Also the Cabinet Makers.
 New York, Dec. 25.-No workers were happier to-day than the. 100000 skilled men in the building trades, where 1t was announced that every union, with the exception of the Houstsmiths' and Bridgemen's, had signed 9 trade agree ment of from one to three years, to go into effect on January 1 next.
 By this action the unions have off cially rtpudiated the strike of the structural iron workers,
 In many of the trades the prevailing wage will continue for the coming year The wages of the house carpenters however, win be increased thirty cents a. day, and the cabinetmakers will re- ceive an increase of twenty-two cents day, beginning next duly. '
 The trade agreements now date from January 1, instead of May, as heretore This step was taken because the em' ployers do not want strikes on theil hands on May 1, when the busy build ing season begins.

 tion Off Norfolk, Va.-Vessel Evi-
 dentIy a Victim of a Collision
 Only Her Topmasts Above the CrOss-
 Trees Out of Water.
 Norfolk, Va, Dec. 25.-With all her headgear tern away and her topsails set, an unknown three-masted schooner has sunk in twelve fathoms of water six and one-half miles northeast of Winter Quarter hghtship and directly in the path of coastwise navigation. This information is contained in a re- port made here by Captain Charles James, of the Merchants and Miners steamship Juniata, which passed the wreck yesterday.
 According to Captain James, the schooner is evidently the victim of a collision. Only her topmasts above the eross-trees are out of water, and the appearance of her topsails indicates that the disaster occurred not long be- fore the Juniata passed. No sign oi wreckage was seen, however, nor was there anything above water to ,revea the identity of the schooner. The fate of her crew is not known here.
