Miil Croek Hundred Delegation Asks 10
sistanoe of tho Levy Court.

Min Creek Hundred Delegation Asks As
slstance Of tho Levy Court.
At tho meeting Of the Levy Court,
this morning, a delegation from Mill
Creek hundred asked assistance in re-
pairing n piece of public road one mile
Ia length, between Hockessiu and the
Limestone road. DR.. John Ball,stated
that the road referred TO was the
worst IN the county. lIo said that the
hundred had 1000 for the purpose
and the residents have subscribed 5000.
The road, he said, could be fixed for
about $1,000. io also said that a
party had offered TO furnish stone.
Is IL crushedfh asked President
McFarlin.
1T is not, and don't you crush us, "
replied DR.. Ball.
Other members Of the delegation
made earnest arguments.
To bring the matter formally before
the court, Mr.. Hopkins offered q reso-
luton that the proilered sum Of sl, 600
be placed TO the credit Of the good
roads appropriation. for the purpose Of
partially defraying the cost of improv-
ing the road, and that the highway
commissioner be hereby instructed to
make the necessary survey and esti-
mate the cost of building said road.
In support OF his resolution Mr..
Hopkins stated that the Fourth dis
trict had not expended its appropria-
tion 10y about a., 600, having spent
| about e. 600. This, added 20 the Sl, GOO,
would make nearly 81, 600 towards the
road
Mr.. Scott said that the passage Of
this resolution would be going too far,
unless IL was intended to raise the
tax rate above so cents. The court, he
said, was bound 30 build tho FaullS
road, and pieces OF road in the Sixth
and Seventh districts. He said that
Mill Creek hundred already had re-
oeived a large slice Of the goo roads
money.
Mr.. Salmon Thought the proposition
was the fairest ever made 10 the court,
but held that IL would be inexpedient
TO adopt the resolution unless the
tax rate was raised 10 cents.
The resolution was adopted after it
had been amended TO accept the ZOO
and hold it for further consideration
and instructing the highway commits
sioner TO make an investigation in
stead Of a survey.

STRIKES IN NEW ENGLAND.

Boston, Mass, May MAY Day was
marked bv numerous minor strikes IN

trades.

renee and its vicinity and in other places.
The Lawrence men, about 1000 IN num-
ber. demand an eight-hour day at wage
OF SO.
In LYNN about 200 machinists, who

Ann granite district, in the Blackstone
Valley and Fall River building trades and
in several branches OF the building trades

LONGSHOREMNN STRIKE
Not a Pound Of Ore, Coal Or Grain
is Being Handled in the Port
Of Cleveland, Ohio.
OTHER LAKE PORTS AFFECTED
The Lumber Boats, Package
Freight Boats and Pas
Senger Boats Are
Running.
Associated Press Dispatches bv Special Wire.

Cleveland. O.. May livery member
Of the International Longshoremen,
Marine and Transport Workers Union
employed on boats and docks Of the Lake
Carriers Association quit work last night,
and today not a pound of ore, coal or
grain was being handled in the port Of
Cleveland. The same condition existed
in practically every Lake Erie port.
Every tug in the harbor was tied up this
morning The Licensed 1ugmen's Pro-
tective Association is affiliated with the
longshoremen. as are the firemen on the
tugs, and not a screw on a union tug
turned afer midnight A wildcat tug,
the Charles Castle of Detroit, had to be
called into service to bring the Detroit d
Cleveland liner into Cleveland this morn
ing. Lumber boats, package freight
boats and passenger boats are not affected
by the strike at present, as the owners
are not affiliated with the lake carriers.
In the port of Cleveland 1000 men are
directly affected, / 900 Of whom are sea-
men. About $50 laborers went out on
the Cleveland q Pittsburg dock alone
If the strike continues any length Of
time, however, the men in independent
furnaces will in all likelihood be thrown
out for lack Of ore TO smelt, the foundry
men will have to quit for lack of pig iron
and. it is said, there is more than a chance
that some of the steel mills will have to
shut down. The ore supply on the docks
is practically exhausted, so far as high
grade ores are concerned. Train crews
innumerahle, railway officials state, will
be thrown out of work because of the
stoppage of the coal traffic. Some OF
the large elevators will have to restrict
their operations on account OF the shut
ting down Of the lake grain trade. 1t is
estimated that If the strike lasts for one
month 10000 men in Cleveland alone
will be thrown out of work.
Chicago, H., May l.--All the members
Of the Longshoremens Union IN South
Chicago, numbering about 5000, quit
work last night.
OF these. 500 are ore unloaders, and
three ore-laden steamers will be tied up
bv the strike. The grain trimmers are
included in the strike order.

QUESTION ON PREACHING
pmciDItateS an Interesting Discussion
IbOul The Attitude Of Friends
Towards the Paid Ministry.
HlRGESS PENNYPACKER OBJECTS
eavs Friends Are Making
themselves Misunderstood.
OTHERS APPROVE HIS OBJECTIONS

Friends meeting house, Fourth and
west streets, held large gathering of
T,isnds today, at the sessions Of Con-
oord Quarterly Meeting. Representa-
ives and other members we're present
trom eight monthly meetings-Ches-
Ter. Darby, Goshen, Concord, Bir-
minqham, Lansdowne, Swarthmore
and Wilmington.
This is the only quarterly where it
is necessary to hold both morning and
sfternoon sessions, owing to the length
NJ time required for framing answers
to the IA queries which the Discipline
ysouires to be forwarded to Yearly
Meeting which opens the week of May
l4th.
o'clock ard held until 11.30. Those
rbo spoke we're Samuel Ash, Swarth-
more. Pa. Sarah Flitcraft, Chester,
Pa. Lewis Smedley, Willistown, Pa. (;
and from Wilmington, Hannah Thomp-
SON, David Ferris, Ezra Fell and
Philena Fell.
Matilda Garrigues of Darby, clerk,
presided over the business meeting,
assisted by William p. Bancroft, ap-
polnted in the absence Of Morgan
bunting, regular assistant. Reports
we're read from the eight monthly
meetings represented.
The attention Of the meeting was
then directed to the summary answers
i 10 the queries. The first answer re-
ported meetings regularly held, good
i attendance, becoming behavior, the
observance Of the hour and a concern
that the younger members by their
presence manifest more interest in
4 business meetings.
Second answer-Love and unity ap-
pears to be generally maintained and
4 tale bearing and detraction dis
outraged. Endeavors are used TO end
4 differences.
The third query asks if Friends are
careful to maintain a testimony in
favor Of the free ministry of the Cos
d pei and against a system Of profes-
sonal ministry. Burgess Pennypacker
Of West Chester, who objected to this
query last year, did so again this
morning. He said Friends are stulti-
iying themselves by being antagonistiC
to the paid ministry and making them
selves misunderstood. William p.
Bancroft also objected to the query.
David Ferris said that Friends
might hold a testimony for free re-
ligion without in any way attacking
the paid ministry, and that without
violating the requirements Of the
query, Friends could attend meetings
Of other denominations.
Hannah Thompson arose to say that
Friends believe in a free Gospel min.
istry for themselves and not as an
attack on other religious organiza.
tons. This was also the opinion o!
Charles Paxson and other speakers.
The answer remained; Friends are
careful to maintain the requirement.
Of this query. +"
The meeting adjourned at 123
o'clock for luncheon in the schoo
building and resumed at . O'Clock.
Burgess Charles Pennypacker o
West Chester, Pa, wearing the higl
crowned, broad brimmed hat, which
be affects, was a conspicuous figure a
the meeting. There are few amonl
the women Friends wearing the plail
bonnet aud shawl of olden times, ant
those few are advanced in age.
