| CHICACO LABOR TROUBLES, A Mammoth Mecting of Western Builders | Held in that Oity. A BIG KICK ON TRADES UNIONS. Hopes Entertained By the Contract- ors that the Supreme Head of the Bricklayers will Dis- countenance the Strike. Dissensions in the Ranks, Cuica@o, May 14.—Special gram to the Brr,]—Over 200 members of the Builders' and Traders’ exchange met to-day and in- dorsed the action of the Master Masons’ soclation in declaring a lockout in the build- ing trades. The meeting was harmonious, entliusiastic and confident of being able to break down the power of the trades unions, Long betors the hour set builders, contract- ors and men interested in the manufacture and sale of building material of every kind began to assemble in the rooms of the ex- change. “The strike won't last a week,” said one of them, “I've been a bricklayer, Jjourneyman, foreman and contractor here for twenty years, and { know fjust what I'm talking abont. o bricklayers are making the bizgest mistake ever made by any body of workingmen in any city. Fora little, in- _Bignificant point they are just going to de- ‘stroy their organization beyond hope of re- covery. ‘They bave a powerful union, it Is mrue, and heretofore they have had rall their demands granted at once, Ybut this time they have made a fatal mistake ‘lnd they have forgotten the existence of the }International unton, The main hope of the pmaster mason’s is that the International 1 Bricklayers’ union will refuseto countenance Ithe strike, iengo and San Francisco are the unlr cities in the United States where the local bricklayers’ union is not aftiliated with the International, 1t 1s claimed there isa stronz feeling of enmity between the two organizations growing out of the fact that the Chicago union refused to recognize the “working cards” of the International and compelled every pricklayer who came to the city pay $25 initiation fee before al- Jowing him to work, It 1s thought that an application to the International for men by the bosses, either directly or through an ad- wvertisement, will flood the town with brick- layers who will ignore the local union. The committees who have charge of the work of Mcurlmi signatures to the mnon-selling agreemen Teport great success, only three brickmakers having refused to sign wnen asked, In call- ing the meeting to order, President Tanper said: “ltis time when the builders and traders exchange shall be heard in regurd to these labor questions. The business of the city Is materially injured, and has been for . the last three or four vears, and it is almost impossible to continue business under the resent circumstances. To-day, probably, as been inaugurated one of the greatest strikes that has ever beon known in the city of Chicagzo. KEvery member of this exchange, every citizen of the city of Chicago, is inter- ested in this strike. ,Vcr{ mAan that owns a dollar’s worth ot property in the city or ever expects to, is interested. ~ If this thing is go- ing to continue business will be driven from «the city and will 0 somewhere else. Now, the community lenves this matter to you and you are well able to take care of it. " I know that after this meeting is over we shall be heard l){ every one and not be mis- taken by the public.” ~ A number of speeches ! fn tho samne strain were made, and a series of resolutions, setting forth the eauso of the strike and the employers position, were adopted. Tho chairman then read the follow- ing dispateh from William H. Savwood, sec- retary of the Master Builders’ association of Boston: “Weare watching vour cause with the lx_renwut interest and sympathy. Individual . Jiberty must be sustained at any cosf Three cheers and a tiger were given when the meeting adjourned. A great meeting of the locked out brick layers and stone cutters was held at the same time in battery D. There were tull 2,500 men present, The result of the meef 4N was the adoption of the following reso- utl 117"V Rasolved, ‘That we strictly stand by our decision to demand a Saturday pay day, and will retusato work on other terms.” 80 both sides are firm, —— THE U.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW Bankers Well Supplied and Bor- rowers Experience Little Difficulty, CHICAGO, May 14.—[Special ‘Lelegram to the Bee|—Quite a good demand for money prevailed during the past week and the market ruled rather firm, Bankers were moderately wellsupplied with loanable funds and borrowers who wers able to present un- doubted securities or collatterals experienced little difliculty in obtaining all the funds re- quired. Bankers, however, pursusd a com- mission course and generally insisted on wide margins. Speculators in grain and pro- visions were moderately free borrowers, though their demand was not as urgent as during the previous two weeks, Lumber merchants have presented a fair amount of paper for discount, and merchants in the wholesale trade asked for some favors. Some money was forwarded to the interior, mainly through commission houses, and to smaller towns for the movement of erain and live stock. in some sections farmers are busy with their spring seedinz and the movement of farm products to the stations has been small. Collections are reported quite good in all branches of trade and merchants claim that more goods are being distributed than for some time past, and considerably in excess of the volume of business one year ago. Rates of interest are well malntained at 6@6dg for call and €@ per cent for time loans, the inside tigures for round sums on undoubted security, Some business is being dona on the street at about the same rates as were current last week. In eastern financial circles the demand formoney is fair from all sources and the suoply of morey 18 suffi- ciently plenty to accommodate borrowers at reasonable rates of Interest. Advices from the principal inancial centers of Europe re resent money as abundant and rates of in- terest extremely low, The cheapness of money abroad tends to encourage In- vestment in American securities, - which command better rates of interest, New York exchange was in tair supply and the demand was moderately active. Sales were made between bauks at 25 cents diseount to &5 cepts premium_ per §1,000, and the market closed steady at par. exchange was in better supply, owing to the increased shipments of tlour,” grain, cotton, petroleum and stocks. ‘The demand was only fair and the market ruled weak. Ship- pers’ sixty days documentary bills on London ruled lower and changed hands at 48547, 4,85, and closed steady at 84,8337, 4,54, Ratii- er more interest centered in the New York stock market, particularly during the latter part of the week. Wall street speculators gave the market considerable attention and outside operators enlarged their busi- ness to some ~ extent. Western spec- ulators traded more freely in stocks of the railroads leading from Chieago. Prices ruled comparatively smldr early in the week and trading was only fair, but near the close a stronger feeling was develol and higher prices were realized for the lead- ing dividend-paying stocks. Quite a good foreign demand prevailed for some of the rnnapnl securitios and sales were made at higher prices in _foreign tinancinl centers. Sales on the New York stock exchange for the week aggregated 1,004,030 shares. Pe- troleum was inclined to quietness early in the weck, but prices were moderately well supported Later, however, offei were considerably increased and the warket ruled weak, accompanied with marked decline in prices. ()hellln)i sales were made at 6615 cents, sold at G3' @ { cents and closed steady at 633 cents. ‘The leading produce markets exhibited con- siderable activity during the week just closed.

The Omahas Defeated. The second of the Denver-Omaha series of base vall games, played yesterday afternoon, was by odds the prettiest game that has been witnessed on the home grounds this season. About 1,000 people were present., The Den- vers won by a score of 4 to 1, but had no ground to boast of superior playing. Harry Salisbury occupied the box for the home team and pitched a great game, contining the visitors to six base hits, though they were credited with ten, two men being sent to bases on balls and two by being struck by the pitcher. Ilarter’s catching was a feature of the game. 'T'ne fielding of the homa team was magnificent. Bader eaught four flies, one of them when there were two men out and all of the bases full. Genins ‘corralled three flies, one of them after a long run that bronght cheers from the spectators. Swift-at second played nicely. Walsh made one costly error, but otherwise played well. In the first two innings both of the teams failed to score. In the third innin the Denvers scored three runs, and added one tothis in the fourth, while the home team had to be contented with one run made by Walsh in the fourth. After the fourth in- ning the playing was brilliant on both sides, neither team succeeding in scoring. Voss pitched the game of hl'il]ifi' and puzzled the Omaha sluggers ina painful manner.

Dr. E. A. Kelley, of this city, who was re- cently appointed superintendent of the in- sane asylum at Norfolk, returned on Friday from his first visit to the new institution. He left on the first train for Lin- coln, where he will consult the state board of public lands and buildings with reference to certam watters pertaiuing to the institution, The doctor says that tho asylum was not at all flattered by the photographs of it which have been . circulated. It is renll¥ a has the purpos it Was intended. He is of the opiniomn that the asylum will not be opened until about the 1st ot October, In the meantime a kitchen and other structures which will be necessary for the proper con- duct of the institution. must be erected. Nevertheless the doctor will immediately es- tablish an office at the asylum to enable him, to attend to the correspoudence which is now daily rushing into the place, some of it containing bids for the:furnishing the in- stitution and applicationd foradmission from all parts of the state, The doctor says he Proposes tatake up His permanent residence at the asylum as soon as it will be possible forhimtodoso, i o One maiter which will:equire adjustment, will be that of determining what' patients shall be admitted to the, asylum, This will have to be determipéd by the state board on ublic lands and .buildings. The doctor’s idea favors the division of the state into dis- tricts, each of which, respectively, shall send its msane to Lincoln or Norfolk. To send patients to either asylum from all patts of the state, simply because there is a vacancy, would lead to an interminable mix- ing up ot accounts with the several counties and result in the keeping of the same, as be- tween the state and the counties, so thatthey would never be closed. What these districts shall be and what counties they shall com- prise, Dr. Kelley will ask to determine be- fore his revurn from Lincoln to this city. Disagreement in the Conoyer Case, No United States court was held yesterday, Judge Dundy being ill.

The man who did the biting is in irons at Council Blufls, and 15 a noted safe bur- glar. About three weeks ago a safe belong- ing to a wealthy gentleman of Audubon was blown by burglars, A woek previ- ous to that a_barber shop at Jefferson, Gireen county, lowa, was burglarized evidently by the same part From the safe a small amount money was taken and also $10,000 1 valusble papers, in part belonging o the owner as an indivinual and in part the prop- erty of the Masonic order at Audubon, of which the gentleman robbed was the treasurer. Sherift Mallory, of Andubon county, acted energetically on the day succeeding the robbery of the and succeeded 1n eapturing, & few miles out of the town, & man who was identified as one of three suspicious characters who had been seen there on the eyen- ing previous to the commission of the crime, On his return to Audubon the sherif'stoppea at a house which was con- nected with the city by telephone and sent word to his deputy there to organize a fictitious mob to greet the prisoner upon his arrival. This was done, and when the sherifl’ and prisoner drove into town they were met by a crowd of over 200 apparently determined men, who took the frightened crinuinal out of the sherifi’s hands and threatened him with immediate lynching if he did not confe He refused to say anything, howeves until the mob had” placed a rope around his neck and had actually commenced pull on it, This practical demonst; of their earnestness brought the prisoner to terms, and he not only confessed his own participation in the affair, but also stated that one of his accomplices was a man named Matt Riley, alias Tim Ryan, and another a well known burglar w{mse pame is for the present withheld, as he has not been caught. He stated that Riley had gone toward Missouri Vulley, and the other burglar had gone cx 1 tle then disclosed the hiding pl securities, which was a manure pile i which the papers, in a box, had been buried deep. Acting upon this inform telegrams were sent both and west, Officer Donovan recog- mzed Riley here on Wedne night. On the morning following h arrest Riley demanded an e and secured an attorney to push his case, He was well aware that nothing could be shown here upon which to hold him and was consequently anxious to secure his liberty. One exvedient after another was resorted to by the police officials to hold Riley until the sherift of Audubon county could be heard from. That officer, v, did not get the informa- s arrest until Friday, and had then no time to secure a requisition. So he came to Omaha and here the plan was determined upon to get the vrisone by some sort of subterfuge, into Iowa where heo could be rearrested. Ihethree days expired yesterday and Riley's counsel demanded that he be ex- amined. As 1t was obligatory that he be accorded a hearing, he was arraigned on the charge of being a suspicious char- acter. He ploaded not guilty. Judge Berka then informed him thatif he would leave the city and state immediately he would be discha After a minute's reflection the prisoner agreed to go. ran escorted him to the depot, purchased him a ticket and they bourded the train for Council Blufls. As Riley obseryed that the officer intended the river with him are you going Can’t I ride across the river alone; I'll go.”” The oflicer re- sponded that he intended to sce that Riley really left Omaha and would go with him. ~ 'I'his aroused the prison- er's suspicions, evidently, because, as the tral as in the middle of the bridge, he walked from the seat he was occupying with the remark that he wanted a drink of water, After he had k he stepped out on the gan divined his intentions, which were probably to jump from the train when the grading was reached on the lowa side, and followed him to the platform, at the same time giving Sheriff Mallory, who was quietly sitting in the car, a 1. The train was then fairly on the side, and over the trestle work which about sixty feet high. As the sheriff stepped out on the platform Hor said to him: *“‘Take vour man.” D sherifl puta hand on yand remarked: “Iwant you.” The prisoner saw he was zht and made a leap toward the river, exclaiming with an ouath, “You can't take me.” Horrigan caught the burglar us he jumped, and then snsued one of the most desperate s rles which ever took place in a hke pr jous situation, Riley is a man of muscu build, weighing over 160 pounds and he fought like amad man. Although Horrigan struck him repeatedly, and the sherifi succecded in manacling "his hands he refused to submit, but bit like & rabid dog. He 4 his teeth intoit. He caught one of the sher- ift?s tingers in his mouth and neariy bit it off, The two officers atlength suceceded m draggiog the desperate criminal 1nto the car, and although the sherifl pointed a revol to his head, he still fought anc swore he would not be taken alive, Pas- sengers assistod the oflicers and Riley was at length ironed so securely that he could do no harm, Riley came originally from Aurora, 1lls., and has long’Tm-n wanted by the officers of Chicago and other places where he has successfully burglarized safes for a long time. This 1 the first kuown instance of his capture. Heo is a peculiarly successful cracksman, and after committing such & crime he has been able invariably hercto to cover his tracks. He is an expert muchinist and has been known to work at his trade for weeks between practice of his crim- inul propensities, of T AFFAIRS, The Knights of Labor Executive Com- mittee to Decide the Brick Differences. The city executive committce of the Knights of Labor are trying to adjust the differences of the bricklayers and striking moulders. A fully attended meeting of the moulders was held at Kessler's hall last evening. E. C. Moriarity, of the city execu- tive committee of the K, of L., was chair- man, Fully two hours was oceupied indis- cussion, At the conelusion a resolution was adopted that if any of the larger brick makers, should they put in machines, unde take to eut prices on the smaller are employinz union moulders at the bricklayers’ union be requested to i struct its members to refuse to lay maciine wade brick, Another resolution was adopted that & committee of five from the moulders’ union shenld ==+ the brick makers in the TRYING TO ADJIU | that no man shall be | nothing le: presence of the city executive cor mittes of the Knights of labor todday at 2 o'clock, that both sides of the controversy be then placed before the exceutive committee, and that the union will abide by the decision of the committee as to what they shall do. A draft of a contract, to be signed by both the brick makers aod monlders, was pre- sented and approved. It declates that the brick makers shall pay the price determinod upon by the K.of 1., exeentive committee, and hereafter discharged beeause of his connection with the union. Italso declares that the moulders shall re- turn to work by 1 p. m., on Monday at the wages which will be settled upon to-day. Anothermeeting will be held by the mould- ers to-morrow evening at Ressler's nall, The whole of the above appears to point to a compromise. The sentiment of the speak- ers last evening, however, seemed to be that han S5 per day should be agreed upon.

Another master painter, Mr. Evens, withdrew from the Master Painters union yesterday and signed the contract prosented by the workmen, Heand Mr. Harmon em- ploy, tozether, about twenty hands. ‘The painters state that the published report of their strike being illegal and contrary to the regulations of the Knights of Labor is incorrect. ‘They claim that, by unanimous vote the K. of L, assemblies here cndorsed their action. They do mnot. however, call upon the Knights of Labor for assistance, and believe they can win without doing so. They have received $200 thus with two trades unions in the city to hear from. They alsoexpect money from Chicazo and Kansas City. _Another meeting will be held to- ‘Flie following is the substance of the agree- nl\t‘nt they ask master painters to sign with them: “\Whereas, the members of said unfon are now engaced in what is known as on a “strike,” and whereas, john Doe, a master ‘\uhlh’l’. has withdrawn from the Master “ainters’ unjon of said eity, it is hereby areed by said John Doe, in consideration of the promises hereinafter' made by the said Tainters’ union, that he will forthwith re- ceive into his employ all men employed by him before the commencement of said strike; will neither employ nor keep in_his service any man as a painter or a paperhanger who is not a member of the Painters’ union; will not discharge any man at any time unless for good and sufliclent cause; will not issue, receive, nor i any way Tecognize the cards now issued or which shall be_issued here- after by master painters to discharge emn- ployes, or to employes who shall have re- signed, and will not employ more than one :qu»n-ntice for every ten men employed by iim. 1t is further agreed by John Doe that he will pay twoand seventy-five-one hundredths (82,75) per dav; will pay to paperhangers the irices less 25 per cent contained in a_certain ist known as the “Omaha Paperhangers Price List,” exeept that part which refers to Linerusta'work, which work is to be paid for at the rate of 50 cents per hour. Freseo painters shall not receive less than 85 cents per hour, and sizn painters shall be paid the same amount per day of nine hours that they are now receiving per day of ten lours, dav’s work shall consist of nine (9) hours, and in all cases for each hour worked over nine (9) the employe shall be paid for one and one-halt hours. ‘The aforesaid John Doe also acrees not to purchase any stock or material of v kind from any master painter who has ot signed an agreement in form and substance the sameas this, and who does not at the time of such purc rve the conditions of such r shall he door cause to be done any work which any master painter who has not signed an agreement containinyg same terms as this has contracted to do.

Several years ago, while hunting in " the pine-forests of South Carolina he was thrown from a mule and barely escaped with his life and the loss of one leg. Speaking of the accident afterward he said: “I was at the point of and had lost all interest in life when I received r letter jrom an old Methodist minister telling me of the deep and_devout petition put up for the restoration to health by the Methodist conference then in session at Newberry.
