BOSSES ARE
STILL FIRM.
Painters Say the Journymen can
Remain on Strike as Long as
They Choose.
MATTER lillSCUSSED.
Meeting of the Bosses was Held Recently
and all Agreed to Stand as Long as the
Journeymen hold out ? One of the
Boms Talks on the Subject? Are now
at Work.
At the last regular meeting of the
boss painters, held in their rooms on
Smith' street, the trouble with the
journeymen painters oame up and the
question as to whether to agree to the
men's demands or not was discussed.
After a lengthy discourse the bosses
decided that they would ignore the
strike entirely. If the painters de
cided that they want to stay for a
year they can do so as far as the boss
es are concerned. Wlien a boss paint
er was seen by a News reportet this
morning he said :
"Do I think that the trouble with
the painters will soon be settled? No,
I do not, for as far as the bosses are
concerned they will never ask for a
meeting with the painters, and it is
up to the painters to come to us and
ask for work which, at the present
time, they aon't seem inclined to do.
They don't feel the trouble now, but
every boss in town is accepting as
much work as he himself can do with
in three months, and we are only
taking this on condition that the
people wait patiently until we finish
one job, before we take the next.
When the cold weather sets in and' e
Dnoe of fooa and clothing is high then
the painters will find out how foolish
they have been. "
The painters seem not to be worry
ing muoh about the strike. They
claim that they have plenty of work,
and that most of them have been work
ing so hard of late that they are uow
enjoying a few days vacation to rest.

NO TERMS
WERE MADE.
Pressers Appoint Committee to
Wait on Superintendent of
Atlantic Terra Gotta.,
CLAIM NO STRIKE.
Acting Superintendent Says he Does not
Need all, but if Some of them Wanted
to Return he Would Endeavor to Place
Some of Them? Securing Work Else
where.
Yesterday afternoon a committee,
appointed by the Pressors and Finish
ers union, oalled upon Mr. Thrall,
the superintendent of the Atlantio
Terra' Ootta works in Tottenville, to
talk of the prospects of the men going
baok to work. When a member of the
committee was seen by a News report
er this morning hq said:
We went to Tottenville and after
getting an audience with Mr. Thrall
we explained to him that we had
come to see him in regard to making
some settlement of the strike. |When
we had finished he told ub that he did
not consider it a strike at all as all of
the men had resigned their positions
and left the shop voluntarily. He
said the company had plenty of men
to do their work, and was getting
along very nicely. As for taking all
the men back, he said he did not think
he needed so many pressers at onoe,
but if a few of the old hands wished
to come baok he would see what he
oould do for them. "
The pressers refuse to accept these
terms and are as firm as ever. They
olaim that unless they are taken back
in a body they will never retnrn to
t ie Atlantio. Many of them are se
curing work with other concerns, and
as this is a busy time of the year they
all hope soon to be emploved in other
shops.
TO REGISTER
ALL THE DOGS.
Mayor Seaman has Issued Pro
clamation Concerning Can
ines?Must Obey the Law.
POLICE WILL SHOOT.
There is prospects of a general
slaughter of dogs in Perth Amboy.
Mayor Seaman reoently issued a pro
clamation concerning the animals and
these were distributed by City Clerk
Rielley yesterday. The proclamation
warns all dog owners that unless their
canines are registered according to
law they are liable to be shot bn sight
by the policemen.
The Board of Aldermen reoently
took aotion in this matter and were
unanimous in abating the dog nuis
ance in this city. There is a law
compelling all dogs to be registered
and this can be done at the city olerk's
office. Hundreds of canines now
prowl about the streets getting into
everyone's way and are a nuisance
generally. The police will be in
structed to shoot these animals. It is
easy to distinguish the registered dogs,
for the law requires that they wear a
oollar bearing the dog's name, ythe
owner's name, and. the number of
their register.
Many of the dogs running about the
oity belong to no one and are simply
tramps. There will be general re
joicing if the mayor's proclamation is
strictly oarried out.

aspired to send a team to this city to
defeat the Marions ana naturally the

to secure the fastest talent available.

approach 400 and the promise to make
things interesting for the backers ot
the looals.
In the afternoon Manager O'Rourke

the Philadelphia team is playing fast

work cut out for them. The invinci
ble Denny, who pitched his team to
victory in three games out of four
last season, will be on the slab and all
the old familiar names are in the line
up.

LOCAL MEN
MADE FUN.
Society Circus Said to Have
Created Much Amusement for
People Who Attended.
IT WAS TO LAUGH.
Jockeys Said to have been Worth Price of
Admission? The Strong Man was Pow
erfully Indeed? Professional Part De
clared to be up to Snuff in every Par
ticular
The society circns, from all accounts
was a ?rreat success last night. It. is
said the local men snoceeded in dis
tinguishing themselves in their sever
al parts and created a great deal of
amnsement. The professional part of
the circns is also reported as being
fnlly ud to the mark and some very
clever things were performed.
Mayor Seaman and Postmaster Tice,
as ringmasters, did their part very
well, it is said, and some of the other
features were well worth seeing. In
an interview with one who was there,
this morning, a reporter of the Even
ing News was able to learn that to see
the jockeys, who were William Noe,
A. Cronthamel, Dr. F. 0. Henry, O.
F. Eilert, J. J. Cunningham and E.
J. McCormick, was well worth the
price of admission, and William Files
as Buffalo Bill, was simply great.
Dr. Orowther, who was the strong
man, put all rivals in the shade and
he should be secured by the freehold
ers to lift the new drawbridge in
place.
The parts taken by the professionals,
according to the News informant,
were very good. Th| Mjoping-the-loop
