The bids wero openod and the contract iven to W. A, Moore at twenty-four cents per cubic yard, payablo in gen- The contractor has proceeded with thework under this arrangement, and, securing teamsters, has hauled the required dirt at the rate of about 200 loads per day, each load supposed to be a cubic yard. Some of the teamsters feel dissatis- tied with this arrangement, and have requested Tur BEE, as the friend of the working people, to make their complaiut public, They say that they are being paid twenty cents a load, and out of this have to pay four cents a load to the shovelers who pitch the dirt into tho wagons, leaving them eral tund warrants, but sixteen cents a load for themselves and teams, and as general fund war- rants are at a heayy discount the amount of cash realized will be still smaller. With feed at high prices, with living expenses also high, they feel that the amount is altogether too small, Another feature of the complaint is that it allows tho contractor a profit of four cents a load, or about $8 a day, and for no purpose. They feel that if the city can only pay twenty- four cents a load the teamsters should have that amount without a middle- man stepping in and taking nearly twenty per cent. of it for his profit. The city has a street supervisor to tally the loads and superintond the work, and they cannot see why the city could not give them the whole benefit of the twenty-four conts, in- stead of paying stjll another man 8 a day, which amount comes directly out of their earnings, which would be meagre enough at the bost. —_— PERSONAL.

Y., has the only manufactory of sounding boards in the world, and the oniy factory for making piano feits in this country. The work gives employment to 480 people. In 1875 9,089 pounds of the ;imw felts were manufactured here. n 1881 the total was 25,600 pounds. Five years ago every piano firm man- ufactured its own ‘sounding boards, and the attempt on the part of a single firm to swmt the tastes of all piano men was regarded as an innovation that would never succeed. Now the boards are shipped in laige quantities to European coun- tries, and the dcmestic demand keeps ahead of the supply. In 1876 but 200 bsards were turned out at the H Dolgeville factory. Last year 52,000 sounding boards ‘were m d sold. This is the work of one man. In 1866 a German lad of eightoen landed in Now York, with the piano trade at his finger ends and 25 cents in his pooket. As soon as he got work that enabled him to lLive, he turned his thoughta to doing something for him- self, and, in a small way, began the manufacture of folting used by pirno-makers, His experiments were purqued with unflagging industry un- til he had succeeded in producing an article which proved more acceptable to the piano-makers than anything they could import. When this poing was reached the work of manufacture was fairly entered upon at Brooklyn, but was subsequently transferred to this hamlet. All the madhinery had to be invented and adapted for the purpose, and this occasioned long and vexatious delays and endless experi- ments, But success came at last, and he great factories here aro kept run- ning night and day. One secret of the success of Mr. Alfred Dolge is that he has always employed the best workmen he could find, His rela- tions to his employes have always been 8o intimate and pleasant that th:]y have labored with an intelligent zeal that has borne good fruit. They have been encouragid to suggest im- provements, for which they have been paid liberally, and they have been provided with a gymnasium, library and other means ofysntartlinment for their leisure hours, Mr. Dolge spares no pains to command the zealous services of the most intelligent worl men. A pension jsystem has been’in- troduced as & part of this polluy. lAt & meeting of his worl;;:en held a low evenings ago, . Dolge explained his plan, and announced thun:li 'l(;uld 0 into immediate oper- ation. By this system every em e of the farm wfll,’.dur -'Z.fi.fuoi. lq"i:iof ten n:;. be entitled w‘u- 4 under following oodi- y to partial or total [nabilit, oaused by accident, sickness or old ge, as long as such inability may last, oo and they will be proportioned to wagos as follows: Fifty per cent after ten years' sorvice, 00 per cent after thirteen years' sorvioe 70 per cen* after sixteen 88 per cent after mineteen, 90 aftor twenty-two yoars, and 100 por cent after twenty-five years' serv In case of accident while on duty, or of sickness contracted thrc the per- formance of duty, employes will have a pension of 50 per cent at m?' time prior to the completion of the ten yoars' service, This is the ground- work of liberal provision made for faithful labor by this firm. Under this ponsion aystem strikes will be unknown, No man of sense will throw awnay his chance of a position after working halj a dozen yoars or more, It will be possible also o retire those who bocome practically superanuated and who can no longer do the work that younger hande could more skillfully accomplish, It is belioved that the plan will pay in every sense of the word, and the workmon welcome it enthusiastically, A Quoer lfalfow-Travnllar. Some years ago I had oceasion to take a long_journey to the north; a journey which would involve my travelling all night. A fow days be- fore I had received an invitation from 7 ‘‘Well, said he, loaning forwapq and peoring into my oyes, keeping one hand on tho box, “when you fireg ivlu\pmlm!u the carriage 1 Was the Khan of Tartary; but the wondorg of electricity are such that 1 am even now changing; Tmay be anybody in a few hours, or even minutes,” [ suppose I looked surprised, for he went on: “Ah, you look surprised; perhaps you will "hardly believe that my temper quite deponds on who [ may happen to be.

But do not be alarmed; I never am so dangerous unless I happen to assumo that char- acter.” Then he sat quiot, and T was thank- ful for a littlo peaco. On looking at my wateh 1 found that we had yet an- other quarter of an hour before the train would stop. How I wished the timo away! for I fully intonded to change my carringo at tho next stop- ping station. All at once, to my alarm, ho snid quite unconcernedly: “I fool it my solemn duty to in. form you that T am changing, and that in a fow minutes I shall %m the oxclaimed, a friend of mine, wno lived at a town which I had to pass, to dine and stay the night at his house, an invitation which I gladly accepted, as it would prove a pleasant break in the monot- ony of the journey. Iresolved there- fore to so arrango matters as to arrive at his house in time for dinner, and proceed to my des- tination next morning. When the day arrived I was very busy; so, after a hurried lunch, I packed up a few necessaries and rushed off to Euston, where Iarrived with just two minutes to spare. I asked for my train, which the guard pointed out, adding, “If you don’t hurry up sir, you'll lose it.” " I took his advice and jumped info the nearest first-class compart- ment, the door of which stood open, and in which there was but one other occupant. I settled myself for my journey, and for the first time had leisure to observe my follow traveler, Now I rather pride myself on being a judge of physiognomy, and my first impressions of him were the reverse of pleasant. He was evidently a fidgety, nervous sort of man; he had restless gray oyes, without much ex- pression in them, while his hair and beard were of a reddish hue. Ho was dressed in a long ulster, which 1 thought quite unnecessary; for though it was late in the year the weather was by no means cold. There was on the seat beside him a small oaken box, strongly bound with braes; and his eyes were constantly glancing from this box to'me in a way that I did notat all like. I began to have visions of Fenian plots, infernal ma- chines, and I do not know what. After regarding me steadily for a few minutes he said: , “Is it possible, sir, that you are not aware of this carriage being reserved for state officiala?” I'looked around, and seeing no in- dication of the fact, replied that I was not aware of such being the case, “Then, sir,” ho replied, “I must beg of you instantly to vacate 1t, and leave me here in solitary silence,” Considering that the train was then going at the rate of about forty miles an hour and would not stop until it reached a small station half way to my destination in about an hour’s time, I could not quite see how I was to comply with his request, or rather, command; and I frankly told him so, adding that I had as much right there as he had, and did not intend moy- ing. Ho replied with a most solemn air: ‘‘Then your fate be on your own head.” This began to frighton me, for the man’s manner convinced me that he must be insane, and the prospect of an hour's journey shut up in a first-class railway carriage with 8 madman was was not caloulated to raise my spirits, However, Iput a bold face on the matter, and affected to be engrossed with my newspaper, though in reality I was watching his every movement, He suddenly siezed the wooden box and held it on his knees, mumblin, some inarticulate words, then nud% denly replaced it beside him. In do. ing 8o I caught a glimpse of the butt of a pistol sticking out of his pocket. ero was a pretty dilemma: shut up in a railway carrrisge with a man who was decidedly insane, and armed with a rovolver or pstol, while I had noth- ing more defensive than an umbrella and a roll of papers, which, in conse- quence of their length, I was com- rellad to carry in my hand, Present- ly he began again: ‘‘Have you studied the marvellous powers of electricity, may I ask?" I replied in the negative, (D ve,” said he, “‘and have ar- rived at such a pitch of perfeotion that, aided by the contents of this box, I could blow this train andevery- body in it to infinitesimal atoms,” *‘But,” I hazarded, ‘“how about yourself 1" ‘‘I should calmly mount into the air and survey the scene without injury.” ‘“How?” said I. ‘‘That,” ho replied, *‘is my business; look to yourself.,” Pleasant this for me? However, I made some remark which seemed to satisfy him; and he lupsed again into silence, T felt more than ever con- vinced of his madness, thinking he had probably escaped from some pri- vate asylum, for he was evidently a gentleman; yet I could not under- stand what the hox could be which he guarded so jealously. I felt very sorry for him, 1n spite of m danger- ous situation, I then tried another tack and made several commonplace remarks to him; to all of which he answered in monosyllables, suddenly bursting out with ‘Do you dare to address me, sir, without having firet disclosed to me w)u!z youare! Your temerity surprises me!" and handed him my card, on which was inscribed; ‘‘J, B. Smith, Quality Court.” ‘‘Ha! I guessed you wore a Smith; you look like one; a blacksmith, if I may jlld#‘ by the smuts on your face.” Here he broke into s man! laugh. When he had finished laugh- , honaid: ‘Do you want to know " a1 1 g t as wel know his name m"'n’fi mind, king of Siam.” Lustinctively I looked around for sowe means of escape, at the same time qn\u[l\inz my umbrella firmly, ro- solved at least to sell my fingers dear- ly. Never shall I forget the feelin, oi thankfulness with which I hw\rs the whistle of the train announcin, our approach to the next station. § collected my things together noar me, 80 a8 to be propared for a hasty exit, the more 80 as 1 noticed the foolings of his Majesty of Siam wero being worked up to a pitch of excitoment, and the way he showed his teeth would have terrified a far less nervous man thanmyself. Aswe neared the station the train slackened speed, and at last stopped. Just as I' jumped out the maniac made a spring at me; but. 1 fortunately avoided him, and slummed the door in his face. I got into the next compartment, which was empty; and, as the guard closed the door, I called cut: *‘Here, I say, guard, there is a madman in—" But the whistlo drowned the rest of my sentence, and the train moved off before I had time to completo it. I sat still in a horribloe state of nerv- ousness, expecting I hardly know ‘what. At last the train stopped at the sta- tion for which I was bound, and 1 jumped out. As I passed the carriage 1 could soo him sitting there quietly; and I went to the station-master's room and told him shortly what had happened, advising him to take some means af securing him, He promised to telegraph, but said it was no busi- ness of his, and with this assurance I had to be content. I then went off tomy friend’s house, where I arrived just in time for din- ner, I suppose the traces of my fright still remained, for no sooner did I en- ter the dining-room than my host ex- claimed: “Why, what is the mattor, old man? You've not met a ghost on the road, have you?” Ttold him I had seen somebody a good deal worse than a ghost; and, during dinner, I related my adven- ture, upon which they all congratu- lated me on my lucky escape. After dinner I went off early to bed; plead- ing fatigue and the next day's busi- ness as my excuse, When I awoke in the morning I found my host ready for breakfast, and I joined him at once, as my train left m an hour's time. As I shook hauds with him at the station ho re- marked that he should like to hear of the man being caught. I transacted my business, and, as I had timo to spare, I turned into the firat hotel I came to and walked up to the billiard room, where I met Fred Charlton, an old schoolfellow of mine, who was playing billiards with three other fellows, He seemed surprised to see me, and asked me how I got there, I told him I had come down thero early that morning, and I then proceeded to give him a sketch of my adventurous journey on the night be- fore, Fred smiled, and said; ‘“‘Ah, yes; old man, I heard some- thing about it."” You heard something?” I said. ‘‘From whom?” EXOMANGE HOTEL, METROPOLITAN HOTEL, ©.
