Wemhoff & Sons were yesterday 1 awarded the contract for the’ stone to lie used in the new Boston Store front. The work is something new and will bo the finest ot its kind in the city. The amount of stone to be used, which will give something of the magnitude of the improvements, is about a car load. The contract fur the carpenter work has not yet tieen let, and nothing in the way of improvement will be done until the busy spring season is over. Frank Albright, Sr., formerly of Decatur, but now an employee of the Western Gas Construction Company of Fort Wayne, was seriously injured while at work yesterday morning. He was struck by a heavy piece of moulding apparatus that hung overhead, and was half buried in the soft moulding sand by the force of the massive piece of iron. When his fel-low-workmen reached him he was lying senseless and bleeding, an ambulance was immediately summoned which took him to his home on Fayden Avenue. An examination by physicians showed that a leg had been broken and his right side badly crushed. The exact condition of the injured man cannot be determined, but it is feared that it will prove fatal. A strike on the Wabash is still pending. A temporary injunction against the ordering of the men to quit work by labor unions has been issued but the men may goon a strike of their own accord. The result is not known but nothing definite will be done until the contest between Judge Adams, who issued the injunction and the officials of the Brotherhood of Trainmen has been settled. An answer to thejallegations found in the complaints of the railroad was filed yesterday by the labor unions and along with it a demand that the temporary injunction issuer! against them be withdrawn. If this is accomplished and the railroad and its employees do not come to an agreement a big strike will undoubtedly result.

The many friends of Barney Wemhoff will be pleased to hear health is very much improved since his stay at Mobile and that he and his companions have greatly enjoyed themselves. Mr. Wemhoff will leave today for New Orleans, where he expects to visit a short time, and will arrive home near the last of this month A CHEAP GUY. A Preacher who can Live on Twelve Dollars a Month. For the modest sum of 812 a month a minister can enjoy the comforts of life, maintain the clerical dignity of appearances and attire and may successfully cheat the undertaker for many years if the theory of the Rev. C. M. Winchester, a clergyman of Middletown, N. Y., is correct. The latest champion of cheap living has prepared a menu in support of his contention by which he claims to demonstrate satisfactorily that he is within the bounds of practicability when he reduces the problen. of existence to such low terms. The Rev. Mr. Win cheater, in outlining his theory, how ever, confines the application of it to single pulpiteers. For those who are married he has no suggestions, but to the ambitious and self denying young man of the gospel without a family beholds out the allurements of substantial fare, respectable clothing, a com sortable roof and good health He even goes further and maintains that if his schedule is follower! closely a small sum will be found remaining at the end of each thirty days, which the minister may pour into the coffers oi the church or give to charity.

NEW STONE FRONT. work Will BeCln the First of July at the Boston Store. Yesterday the trustees for St. Mary's Lodge, I. O. O. F. contracted with B. Wemhoff for the stone to lie used in the front of the Boston store build ing. The stone will lie of the broken variety of a handsome design and finish and will succeed in putting a decidedly different tone to the appearance of the Boston Store front. As agreed u|m>u, work will liegiti about the first of Julv and will be completed thirty days later. The entrance will be changed from the center to the south east giving plenty of room for a display window, which will be used to display the handsome paterae on sale sale within.

THE AMERICAN SAILOR. lie Work* and Playa Hard and Spina Great Yarna. The sailor's life is not altogether one ; of bard work, and on the whole lie has a very good time. Dancing, gymnastics, fencing, boxing and boat racing till his leisure hours. Ills igitural fondness for pets Is proverbial, and there are few ships without a mascot, lie it a goat, dog or Dennis the pig. which serves to lighten the hours of the dull watches at sea. Many stories are told of the prowess of ships' pets nt night on the forecastle, when the hammocks are down and the pipes lighted. One man spins a yarn of a cat that was born tn an old boiler, cruised 50,000 miles in one ship, established a great reputation as a tighter In all parts of , the world and finally ended ills adventurous career on the coral reefs of Bamoti. says a writer In the World's Work. Another tells of n monkey without ears or tall, with which he sailed in the China seas, wiiose fondness for liquid paint produced periodical attacks of blindness. There is a story of a dissipated dog who never lost an opportunity to get drunk and who always recognised the bugle cal) for the gig and Invariably run to the gangway when It sounded to go ashore with the captain.
