On Tuesday last the senior member of the firm of Unlm Given A Oct., large pork packer®, told Hid*- Un Landers, the confidential ofark, to remit some money to Logan & Oa, of Chicago. The ajcrk informed him that there waa no money to the Unn'# crodlt in tha bank. When naked what had bacons of 118,000 which he bad deposited the day before, Hicklin con feased that he had need the money. It haa been learned binoe that warehouse receipts had been deposited with certain banks, and oaB for $5)0,800 and another for $17,000 were found in the Indiana National and Meridian National hanks, respectively. These had been signed In blank, it fc alleged, and fraudulently Oiled oat by young Landers. The Arm say that there was not a pound ot meat In the warehouse when the receipts ware issued, and that they are forgeries. From a reliable source it is learned that up to Friday evening a shortage of .$108,000 had been discovered. An expert has found that many of the accounts have been falsified under these DISTINGUISHED VISITOR 3. Dcnonr, Oct 85.—Last May, when th« eight-hoar movement was at its height, the employes of the Dry Dock company, C*»• trolling three shipyards in the county, struck for the shorter day. A compromise waf effected, but frequently since then tho company has had differences with tboir men, the chief point of complaint on the part of .the employers being that tho employes had driven wort to other Michigan shipyards, where wages Were lower. A week ago thirty ship carponters were brought from Maine. They were promised the highest wages, and It was claimed on the part of the company that tfae reason for the attempt to change their workmen Was found In the fact that the Maine ship carpenters were able to dc about ono-flfth more wdHt per day than Detroit men in the same trade. On Friday last the Knights of I*bor, to which both the Detroit and Maine ship carpentcrs belong, paid the latter 91,000 to leave the county. Tlearning this, tho Detroit Dry Dock company has sublet about 9100,000 of work, all it had on hand, to R. W. Linn, of Gibraltar, and has practically gone oat of business, keeping open only it* iron shipyard at Wyandotte to finish the work on hand and which no other company in Michigan has the plant to da Tho Dry Dock oompany say that the work lost previous to closing their two dock* because of discrimination against them In tho matter of wages would have amounted to 9800,000. They contemplated building several boats this winter and there was a large amount oi repair work in sight Many vessels will be driven to Lake Brie pori" tor their venal winter repairs. About 900 men are thrown oat of work by the closing of those yards. The Knights of Lobar who paid tiw Maine men to leavo were astounded to leeu-n that the imported ship carpenters had broken their promise and gone to work at tho Gibraltar yards which takes the Detroit oontracts. "Its a sharp Yankee trick" said a Detroit Alp oorpenter, "and they'll sweat for it" PROHIBITION CITY. fUui/r 8r Hun, Mich., Oet 96.—ft b belie red that the Canadian propeUer Dominion has foundered in Lak» Superior.

On Tuesday last the senior member of the firm of Unlm Given A Oct., large pork packer®, told Hid*- Un Landers, the confidential ofark, to remit some money to Logan & Oa, of Chicago. The ajcrk informed him that there waa no money to the Unn'# crodlt in tha bank. When naked what had bacons of 118,000 which he bad deposited the day before, Hicklin con feased that he had need the money. It haa been learned binoe that warehouse receipts had been deposited with certain banks, and oaB for $5)0,800 and another for $17,000 were found in the Indiana National and Meridian National hanks, respectively.

An expert has found that many of the accounts have been falsified under these DISTINGUISHED VISITOR 3. Dcnonr, Oct 85.—Last May, when th« eight-hoar movement was at its height, the employes of the Dry Dock company, C*»• trolling three shipyards in the county, struck for the shorter day. A compromise waf effected, but frequently since then tho company has had differences with tboir men, the chief point of complaint on the part of .the employers being that tho employes had driven wort to other Michigan shipyards, where wages Were lower. A week ago thirty ship carponters were brought from Maine. They were promised the highest wages, and It was claimed on the part of the company that tfae reason for the attempt to change their workmen Was found In the fact that the Maine ship carpenters were able to dc about ono-flfth more wdHt per day than Detroit men in the same trade. On Friday last the Knights of I*bor, to which both the Detroit and Maine ship carpentcrs belong, paid the latter 91,000 to leave the county. Tlearning this, tho Detroit Dry Dock company has sublet about 9100,000 of work, all it had on hand, to R. W.

They contemplated building several boats this winter and there was a large amount oi repair work in sight Many vessels will be driven to Lake Brie pori" tor their venal winter repairs. About 900 men are thrown oat of work by the closing of those yards. The Knights of Lobar who paid tiw Maine men to leavo were astounded to leeu-n that the imported ship carpenters had broken their promise and gone to work at tho Gibraltar yards which takes the Detroit oontracts.
