| CHICAGO LABOR TROUBLES, A Mammoth Meeting of Western Builders Held in that City. 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 Rank Criea@o, May 14.—[Special Telegram to the Brr.]—Over 200 members of the Builders' and ‘Traders’ exchange met to-day and in- dorsed the action of the Master Masons’ as- goclation 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 betora 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. ie strike won't last a week,” said one of them, “I've been a bricklayer, journeyman, foreman aud contractor here for twenty years, and { know just what I'm falking abont. The bricklayers are making the bizgest mistake ever made by any body of workingmen in any city, Fora little, in- _significant point they are just going to de- Istroy 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 “nd they have forgotten the existence of the International unfon, The main hope of the pmaster mason’s is that the International | Bricklayers’ union will refuse to countenance 'lhe strike. Chieago and San Francisco are the ulllr cities in the United States where the local bricklayers’ union is not aftiliated with the International, 1t 18 claimed there isa stronz ing of enmity between the two organizations growing out of the fact that the Chicago union refused to recognize cards” of the Inter! and compelled every pricklayer who o the city to pay $25 initiation fee bef Jowing him to work, It 1s thought that an application to the international for men by the bosses, either directly or through an ad- isement, will flood the town with brick- layers who will ignore the local union. The committees who have charge of the work of nncurhui signatures to the mnon-selling agreemen report great success, only three brickmakers having refused to sign wnen asked, call- Ang the meeting to order, President Tanper sald: “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 Jmpossible to continue business under the present clrcumstances. To-day, probably, as been inaugurated one of the greatest strikes that has ever been known in the city of Chicazo. Every member of this exchange, every citizen of the city of Chieago, is inter- ested in this strike. Every man that owns a dollar’s worth of property in the city or ever expects to, is interested. ~ If this thing is go- ing to continue business will be driven from vthe city and will 0 somewhere «lse. Now, the community leaves this matter 10 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 ! #n tho same strain were made, and & series of resolutions, setting forth the eause of the strike and the employers position, were adopted. The chairman then read the follow- ing dispatch from William H. Saywood, sec- retary of the Master Builders’ association of Boston: “Weare watching vour cause with the reatest interest and sympathy.

Bankers Well Supplied and Bor- rowers Experience Little Difficulty, CHICAGO, May 14.—[Special ‘Lelegram to the Ber]—Quite a good demand for money prevailed during the past week and the market ruled rather firm, Bankers were moderately well supplied with loanable funds and borrowers who were able to present un- doubted securities or collatterals experienced little dificulty 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 swaller towns for the movement of erain and live stock. In some sections farmers are busy with their spring seeding and the movement of farm produets to the stations basbeen 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@6yg for call and €@S per cent for time loans, the inside figures for round sums on undoubted security, Some business is being done on the street at about the same rates as were current last week. In eastern financial circles the demand for money is fair from all sources and the suoply of morey 18 suffi- ciently plenty to accommodate borrowers at reasonuble rates of Interest. Adyices from the principal tinancial centers of Europe rep- resent money as abundant and rates of in- terest extremely low., The cheapness ot money abroad tends to encourage in- vestment in American securities, which command better rates of interest, New York exchange was in fair 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. Foreign exchange was in better stipply, 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 Puled lower and changed hands at g4.83%¢, 4.85, and closed steady at $4.833{, 4.54. Rath- er more interest centered in the New Ya 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 ulators traded more freely stocks of the railroads leading from Chieago. Prices ruled comparatively steady early in the week and trading was only fair, but near the close & stronger feeling was developed and higher prices were realized for the lead- ing dividend-paying stocks. Quite a good foreign demand prevailed for some of Jrincipal securitios and sales were made at higher prices in_foreign tinancial centers. Sales on the New York stock exchange for the week aggregated 1,004,020 shares. Pe- troleum was inclined to quietness early in the week, but prices were moderately well supported. Later, bowever, —offerings were considerably increased and the warket ruled weak, accompanied with a marked decline in prices. Unenln,i sales were made at 654 cents, sold at (3% 603 cents and closed steady at 633 cents. Tho leading produce markets exhibited con- siderable activity during the week just closed. Speculative trading was fairly ac- tive, with rather more attention defrrred deiiveries, An unsettled feeling prevailed aud prices fluctuated considerably, although within asmali range. The weather reports have been watched closely and re- ports of the condition of the crops are eag- erty sought for, 'The weather has been spring-like, but very dr{ in most sections of the west, and theére is little doubt but the growing erops would be greatly benetited by frequuent showers, Farmers ure generally through with the seeding of siall gralns and are now glving their attention to =plant- ing corn, ‘L'he receipts of grain were woder- ate at all the principal western points, while thie shipments, espeeially from the lake parts were quite large, The export demand con- tinues quite .(uod, and large quantities of flour and_grain are belng forwarded to for- elgn markets. The shipping demand on ae- count of home markets was rather «light.

Hastings Scooped by the Lincolns— National League—The La Fevre \Gun Club Shoot—Local Bporting News. The Omah Defeated. The second of the Denver-Omaha series of base ball games, played yosterday 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, confining 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 teature of the game. T'ne fielding of the homa teamn was magnificent. Bader caught 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 brought cheers from the spectators. Swift - at second played nicely. Walsh made one costly exror, but otherwise played well, In the first two innings both of the teams failed to score, In the third ||I||||;i 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.

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 publiclands and buildings with reference to certalm matters 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 really a handsome and enduring structure. He {ms examined itin all its partsand became im- ressed with the fact that it has been singu- arly well laid out for the purposes for which it Was intended, He is of the opiniom 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 ?or the proper con- duct of the institution. must be erected. Nevertheless the doctor will immediately es- tablish an oftice 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 apvlicationd foradmission from all parts of the siate, — The doctor says he Proposes tatake up his permanent residence at the asylum as soon as it will be possible forhimtodoso. i - One matter which will:require adjustment, will be that of determining what| patients shall be admitted to the, asylum, This will have to be determipeéd by the state board on ublic lands and bulldings. The doctor’s dea favors the division of the state into dis- tricts, each of which, respectively, shall send its msane to Lincoln or .{urfnlk. To send patients to either asylum_ from all parts 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 that they 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 return from Lincoln to this city. Disagreement in the Conoyer Oase. No United States court was held yesterday, Judge Dundy being ill. Hissickness is quite serious being a re-appearance of a malady to which he is subject. ‘The jury in the case of Charles Conoyer, as legal representative of his minorson, against the Union Pacific Railway company for $20,000 damages, were out all day, and at 6 o’clock last evening brought in a" report that they could not agree. The point of differ- ence was as to the amount of damages to be awarded. A majority favored 810,000. The suit was brought to recover for injuries sus- tained by the lad at the Tenth street crossing. A new trial has been ordered. —— The Durant Running Team. ‘The Durant Hose company has organized a running team for the purpose of taking a part in the tournament at Kearney in August.

Oapture of One of the Worst Oracksmen in the Country- HE MAKES A MAD STRUGGLE. Fighting and Biting for Liberty ona Train Crossing the Missoari LRiver—Two Officers Feel His Tecth, A Desperate Prisoner. Officer Horrigan ofiected an important capture on Wednesday, and to-day ne1s nursing a badly bitten hand as the result of a most desperate combat yesterday with the prisoner. Sherift Mallory, of Audubon county, Towa, also has a finger nearly bitten off as a result of the same stroggle. The man who did the biting is in irons at Council Blufls, and 182 noted safe bur- glar. About three weeks ago a safe belong- ing to a wealthy gentleman of Audubon was blown by burglars, A week provi- ous to that a barber shop at Jefferson, (ireen county, lowa, was burglarized evidently by the same partics. From the safe a small amount of money was taken and also $10,000 1 valueble papers, in part belonging to the owner as an indivinual and in part the vprop- 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 safe and a few miles out 2 town, & identitied 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 organi a fictitious mob to greet the pr upon his arrival. This was done, when the sherifl and prisoner drove into town they were met by a crowd of over 200 apparently determined men, who took the frightened crinunal out of the sherifi’s hands and threatencd him with immediate lynching if he did not conf He refused to say anything, however, until the mob had” placed a rope around his neck and had « lly commenced to pull on it, This practical demonstrati of ticir earnestness brought the p: 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 whose pame is for the present withheld, as he has not been caught. He stated thut Riley had gone toward Missouri Valley, and the other burglar had gone eastward. He then disclosed the hiding place of th securities, which was a manure pile in which the papers, in a box, had been buried deep. Acting upon this information, telegrams were sent both east and west, Officer Donovan re Riley here on Wednesday On the morning following his t Riley demanded an examination 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 expedient after another was resorted to by the police officials to hold Riley until the sherift of Audubon county could be heard from. That ofticer, unfortunately, did not get the informa- tion of Riley’s arrest until Fridey, and had then no time to secure a_ requisition. So he came to Omaha and here the plan was determined upon to get the vrisoner, by some sort of subterfuge, into Iowa where he could be rearrested. I'hethree days expired yesterda, 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 discharged. After a minute’s reflection the prisoner agreed to go. Ofticer Horrigan escorted him to the depot, purchased him a ticket and they bourded the train for Council Blufls. As Riley obseryed that the officer intended to go across the river with him he said: ‘“What are you going with me for? 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 the train was 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 taken the drink he stepped out on the platform. Horri- gan divined his intentions, which were probably tojump from the train when the grading was reached on the lowa side, and followed him to the platform, at the same time giving Sherifl Mallory, who was quietly sitting in the car, a signal. Tho train was then fairly ou the Towa side, and over the tle work which is about sixty feet high. As the sherift stepped out on the platform Horrigan said to him: ‘“‘Take vour man.” The sherifl puta hand on Riley and remarked: “Lwant you.” The prisoner saw he was caught and made a leap toward the river, exclaiming with an oath, “You can't take me.” Horrigan caught the burglar as he jumped, and then ensued one of the most desi struggles which ever took vlace precarious situation. Riley is a man of muscular build, weighing over 160 pounds and he fought like amad man. Although Horrigan struck him repeatedly, and the sherift succeeded in manacling "his he refused to submit, but bit like & ra dog. Heseized Horrigan's hand and sank his teeth intoit, Heecaught one of the sher- ift’s tingers in his mouth and neariy bit it off. ‘T'he two officers at length succeeded m dragging the desperate criminal nto the car, and although the sherifl pointed a revolver to his head, he still fought anc swore he would not be taken alive. Pas sengers assistod the ofticers and Riley at length ironed so securely that he could do no harm, Riley came originally from Aurora, 1lis., and has long been “wanted by the officers of Chicngo and other places where he has successfully burglarized safes for a long time. This 15 the first known instance of his capture. Heo is a peculiarly successful cracksman and after committing such a crime he has been able invariably heretofore to cover his tracks. He is an expert machinist and has been known to work at his trade for weeks belween practice of his erim- inal propensities. 7 TRYING TO ADJUST AFFAIRS. The Knights of Labor Executive Com- mittee to Decide the Brick Differences. The city executive committce of the Knights of Labor are tryinz 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 tue city execu- tive committee of the K, of L., was chair- man, ¥ully two hours was occupied indis- cussion, At the conclusion a resolution was adopted that i makers, should they put in machines, under- take to cut prices on the smaller makers who are employinz union moulders at per day, the bricklayers’ union be requested to in- struct its members to refuse to lay machine wade brick, Another resolution was adopted that & comnmittee of five from the moulders’ union shanld ==+ the brick makers in the presence of the o mittes — of _ the nights todlay at 2 o'clock, lrat 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 draff of a contract, to be signed by both the brick makers and monlders, was pre- sented and approved. It declares that the brick makers shall pay the price determinod upon by the K.of 1., exccutive committee, and that no man shall be hereafter discharged because of his connection with the union. It also declares that the moulders shall re- turn to work by 1 p. m., on Monday at the wages which will bo settied upon to-day. Anothermeeting will be held by the moald- ers to-morrow evening at Ressler's hall, The whole of the above appears to point to a compromise. ‘The sentiment of the g ers last evening, however, seemed to nothing less than per day should be agre upon. One ot the moulders named McKay taok oceasion, in his remarks, to retiect npon Tne Bre and its Uis sentiments were not favorabl; As the commiitee to tive committee of the Knights of 1 the brickmakers the following moulders were appointed: Andrew Dauble, James MeKay, William Bridges, Frank Hawmwer, Alexander Arnold. A communieation from the Drickmakers association asking for the meeting which is contemplated by the foregoing resolution was recived while the weeting was in prog- re The Painters Sanguine. The striking printers and peper hangers, who now number 320, are sanguine of sue- cess. Another master painter, Mr. Evens, withdrew from the Master Painters union yesterday and signed the contract presented by the workmen, Heand Mr. Harmon em- ploy, together, about twenty hands. ‘The painters state that the published report ot thelir strike being illegal and contrary to the regulations of the Knights of Labor is incorrect. They claim that, by unanimous vote the K. of 1, assemblies here endorsed their action. They do not. howe upon the Knights of Labor for assistance, and believe they can win without doing so. They have received $200 thus far, with two trades unions in the city to hear from. They alsoexpect money from Chicago and Kan City. _Another ineeting will be held to-day Thie following is the substance of the agree- ment they ask master painters to sign with them: “Whereag, the members of now engaced in - what is Wwn o as on A “strike,” and whereas, john Doe, a master \w\luu-r. awn from the Master ’ainters’ unjon of said elty, it is hereby areed by 1 John Doe, in consideration of the prom|: 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 nov 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 in any way recognize the cards now issued or which shall be issued here- after by master painters to discharge en- ploves, or to employes who shall have re- signed, and will not employ more than one ;\;.prvnucv for every ten men employed by i, 1t is further agreed by John Doe that he will pay twoand seyenty-five-one hundredths (82,75) per day; will pay to paperhangers the irices less 25 per cent contained in a certain ist known as the “Omaha Paperhangers Trico List,” except that part which refers to Lincrusta work, which work is to be paid for at the rate of 50 cents per hour. Fresco painters shall not receive loss than 35 cents per hour, and sizn painters shall be paid the same amount per day of nine hours that they are now receiving per of ten lours, A dav’s work shall consist ‘of nine (%) hours, and in all cases for each hour worked over nine (4) the employe shall be paid for one and one-half hours ‘The aforesaid John Doc also acrees not to purchase any stock or material of any kind from any master painter who has not”signed an agreement in form and substance the sameas this, and who does not at the time of such purchase observe the conditions of such agreement. Nor shall he do'or cause to be done any work which any master painter who has not signed an agreement containing s as this has contracted to do. i in consideration of Jing prom maae by the said to accept the rates of wages herainnefore mentioned, to take effect ns soon as tendered by said John Doe, to apply themselves faithfully to his service and to do all work assigned them in a workmanlike manner,” aid unfon are Lillis Goes Home.
