WORKMEN REMAIN IDLE
SAN FRANCISCO IRON WORKERS
STRIKE NOT SETTLED.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.-While the
strike of the 5000 iron workers, which indi-
rectly threw about 10000 more workers
out of employment, was supposed to have
been settled none of the iron works, foun-
dries. or shops has yet reopened and
resumed work. The settlement must be
ratified by the twenty-eight unions COM
prising the different crafts in the iron
trades by a referendum vote, and much
opposition to the ratification is being en-
countered.. Last night the Machinists'
Union refused to ratfy the settlement, and
the boilermakers. firemen and apprentices
also voted to reject the terms of settle
ment. The molders and the blacksmths,
two of the strongest unions in the iron
trades, however, have accepted the settle
ment and voted to return to work.
The Union Iron Works expects to open this
morning. Only about half the former force
will be employed.
Strikebreakers Leave the City.
Fifty strikebreakers, whose contracts
expired with the United railways, left last
night for the east, and $50 men who had
been imported to take the places of the
striking carmen left Tuesday. There is no
change in the strike. Very little trouble
attends the operation of cars. No attempt
has as yet been made to run cars at night.

This event occurred on Saturday at
ternoon the 23rd of March, at the home
of his father, Mr.. e. w. Lupton near
town. DR.. Edward Janney Sldwei
Lupton was in the very prime of life,
having recently passed the 10Th mile
stone of hissearthly pilgrimage. After
a long and hard struggle he had but
barely completed his cherished study
Of medicine when evidences of the fatal
sickness that was to cut short his days
made their unwelcome appearance.
After heroic efforts to regain his health,
1t finally became manifest that the
'cutting off of his days. could not be
for long deferred. DR.. Lupton, Janney,
as all his friends still loved to call him
went to North Carolina last summer
and settled at Hendersonville, where
he hoped to be able to practice his pro-
fession. But severe attack of grip
during the winter made it imperative
tLat be should be brought home, He
reached the old home of his birth and
of his boyhood days, on the 23rd of
February and on the 23rd of March he
took calm and cheerful leave of the
beloved little circle that surrounded
him, and "entered into rest" He was
deeply Interested in other people, and
conseq uently other people were inter-
ested in him. He had noble aspirations
for future Usefulness. In these be was
disappointed. For He whose ways are
not our ways, had something higher
still, still nobler for His yong servant,
and at the proper time he called him to
it. And this is where and why he has
gone. 10 say that his absence creates a
soreness in many hearts, is to give no
information. No one could conceive it
otherwise. Our Father would not have
it otherwise. But we cannot, we dare
net sorrow as others who have no hope
Many warm personal friends from
Washingron and Baltim ore and from
points pearer home, assembled on
Tuesday the 26th at 11.30 o'clock to
join ia religious worship around his
peaceful body, as it lay quietly slum-
boring in their presence. He sleeps in
the Noyborn cemetery. Peace to those
who mourn. Joy to all who hope.
