FACTIONS AT TERRE HAUTE.

Lightning Killed Three.

dangerous precedent. T v /believe that the large meat packing _v,uses would at once demand that the American Tinplate Conpany quote lower prices, and then would follow other concerns that use tin In exporting good*, and prices for labor would soon xo to nieces. The proposition of the tinplate trust Is likely to drift Into politics with a demand by tinplate workmen for a revision of the tariff. Th.ee years ago they started a movement to repeal that part of the tariff on tinplate which allows a rebate on all imported tin that ts exported in the form of cans or '>ther articles. The workmen state that the American Tinplate Company suggested that they drop the matter and allow the tinplate trust to handle it. Nothing has been done and now comes the trust asking the men to permit their wages to be cut 26 per cent. What the Order Would Mean. The production of the mills of the American Tinplate Company throughout the United States is said to be fifteen million boxes of tinplate annually. To fill the order now desired woi^d require about six or eight weeks. The company claims that by taking the order the men would have work eleven and one-hair months of the year, against ten month? under the wage schedule that existed up to last

year.

STRIKES AT NEW YORK.

There la Alto a Good Chance for Impromptu Shower*. Slightly cooler weather Is promised for Indianapolis—In other worda, the thermometers are to register a lower degree to-morrow morning at 7 o'clock than the 72 registered this morning at 7 o'clock. Fair weather Is also promised, though during warm weather Impromptu showers are apt to come with but nttle notice. The rain yesterday afternoon caused a fall in the mercury of 18 degrees, from 88 at 1 o'clock to 7b at 2 o'clock. During the twenty-four hours ending this morning at 7 o’clock, there was a total precipitation here of .87 inches; 1.40 Inches at Auburn. 1.46 inches at Lafayette, l.» Inches at Logansport, 2.63 Inches at Marlon, and In the majority of the other towns of the State rain fell, but there was a precipitation of less than one

Inch.

A General Rain. Throughout the country there was a general rain, but no heavy storms reported. The places where more than one Inch of rain fell were: Cincinnati. 1.14 inch; Kansas City, 1.48 Inch; Denver, 1.08 inch; Columbus, O., 1.14 Inch; Keokuk. l.M Inch. Between Columbus and Blaln City, O., the Western Union Telegraph Company experienced considerable trouble with Us wires yesterday afternoon and thla morning. but the damage was repaired by

noon.

The greatest velocity of the wind here .during the past twenty-four hours was miles an hour, shortly before 2 k yesterday afternoon.

The Tru»t Want* the Order. It Is understood that the unusual request Is made of the Amalgamated men exclusively, and does not reach those who work under the wage schedule of the other organisation. The tinplate trust realfxos the importance of the matter, and Is sending out some of Us best men to ermpaign among the tin workers. In the hope to induce them to agree to the pro-

posed cut.

Gas Belt Workers Opposed to IL Berthold Goldsmith, of Elwood, Western district manager of the American Tinplate Company, will visit the gas belt lodges of the Amalgamated Association. If he was does not reach here* by this evening, it Is probable that a meeting will be held Sunday afternoon, and that the workmen at Gas City will he Invited to come to Anderson and hear Goldsmith,, who will address the men at. their lodgeroom. Following the visit of Mr. Goldsmith, the gas belt lodges will vote on the matter. The Indications are that the gas belt tinplate workers will refuse to stand for a

reduction.

Would be Bad Precedent.

Oats touched the highest point in their history on tbs Board of Trade at Chicago to-day. Before the session closed July osts had sold for 65c, and the close wae at «4%c. This price eras only 2V below the close for July com and 12c below July wheat. It was Me above the low point of yesterday and 7Yic above the close yesterday. Shorts in a Panic. There was a panic among the shorts and the price was put steadily up right through the session. The market bowed before the superior genius of James A_ Patten, the mayor* of Evanston, whose keen mind had won many a hard-fought fight In the grain arena, and whose last coup In May oats was still remembered in the market Muddy Roads Help Out. He is supposed to control long lines of over a million and a half. There Is not that much oats In sight to be brought to Chicago that can grade contract, and the muddy condition of the roads has made It impossible for the farmers to bring In their supplies. Playing for Big Stake. There seems to be no possibility but that Patten’s deal will go through successfully. His line was accumulated around 40c, and though his holdings look puny beside those of the Reid faction In their recent corn corner, he stands to make a much bigger stake than did the Reid manipulators. Traders felt to-day that there was nothing to prevent the grain from being sent up to any point that Patten might select.

Poland said Long’s mare was a “bllnkey-eye" and going blind. "Long traded me a horse some time ago," said Poland, "and he was a balker. I took my medicine and didn't say a word. Pretty soon he came' along again representing himself to be a farmer, and traded me another horse. The first time I hitched the animal up he kicked the buggy to pieces and he's been kicking ever since. "I didn't say a word, but took my medicine again. This last time I traded him a horse and did not tell him that the animal was sound." Poland smiled, so did Long. Judge Stubbs decided that it waa a case of "dog eat dog," and he discharged Poland.

He said that to hi* knowledge there la probably 1500,000 In the treasuries of the local organisations, and that perhaps there was nearly tl,000,000. "I know that It Is hard to give up funds that you have been years In saving," he continued, "but the funds are needed to carrv out this strike. So, when you go home. I would advise that you Immediately place, at the disposal of the national secretary, at least half the funds. Then, 1 trust, that the next time if meet In convention that the clouda will have cleared from the horlson and that the miners, one and all, will be united."
