New York, June 9.—A woman about 90 years old was accosted by Policeman Brennan in the Pennsylvania railroad depot In Jersey City yesterday afternoon because she appeared to bo in mental distress. She said sho hod relatives named GrilHn In South Eighth street, Williamsburg, and tho policeman told her how to go to that city. To a reporter she told tho following story: Hor name is Eleanor Paston. She had just arrivod on a train from Salt Lake City. 'About a month ago she, in company with seventeen other oonverts, who had been secured in Cornwall, England, were taken to Salt Lake City by Elder Bascom. She and Amolia Clegge, another new convert, were token under the roof of Elder Bascom. Bascom had three other wives, the principal one of whom was called Hannah. She was a gray haired woman. When tb* elder announced his intention of sealing to himself tho two new converts Hannah became Jealous and angry. Both tho converts objected to becoming members of the elder's household. So one night they tied together some clothing and lowered themselves out of the window. They ran a short dlstanoe and found themselves in an alley near the tabernacle. Hero they were discovered by Elder Junius T. Wells, a Mormon, who, Miss Paston says, sides with the government. He took the two women to a stable and provided them each with a suit of male attire to aid them in escaping from the city. Chicago, June 0.—Another strike of large proportions if expected to begin in this city, on Monday. The carpenters will lay down their tools again, and refuse to work, unless the employers go back on their determination to re-establish the nine hour working day. The association St the master carpenters includes over 800 contractors, who employ nearly four-fifths of all the carpenters in Chicago. At a meeting of this tjody two weeks ago it was decided to endorse the working rules adopted by the master masons to have the nine-hour system re-established, and to fix the mtnlmnm wages of the journeymen at thirty cents an hour. Though pretending to pay no attention to the action of the bosses, the carpenters were aroused by the new move. They held secret meetings, discussing the propositions of their employers, and getting their men to oppose them The head of the carpenters' national organisation, P. J. McGuire, was invited to Chicago, and at a meeting in Twelfth street Turner hall a resolution to reject the propositions was adopted. Thursday the Carpenters' council held a special meeting. It was attenda4 by Mc- Guire, and it was agreed to issue a circular, which was to be distributed to the members of the various carpenters' unions and assemblies. The circular instructs the men to demand of each employer individually on Monday whether he intends attempting a change from the present arrangement—eight hours' work at thirty-five oents an hour. Where an affirmative answer is given the workmen are not to argue the matter, bnt cease work at once and report to the carpenters' headquarters.President Tapper, of the master masons, is of the opinion that the beginning of next week will show a complete change in the situation. Most of the small jobs that it has been necessary to complete, he says, will be finished by the end of the week, and as no new contracts are being let there will be nothing for men to work upon. When the workmen are entirely out of work he thinks they will be ready to treat with the master masons. That work will be almost completely stopped by that time lcevident from the fact that the Architects are unanimous in their refusals to draw up plans for new structures. Dahbuhy, Conn., June 9.—Samuel A. Barnum, a retired business man whose residence is on West streot. was awakened between 8 and 4 o'olock yesterday morning by a noise in his room.
