All the carpentcrs and millhands in Cincinnati.C'ovington andNewport have been ordered on a strike by a mass meeting attended by over 1,000 men. Only forty votes opposed the strike.

AĆ­ter a financial settlement with lll creditors, the Brooklyn Tabernacle people will realize $30,000 from the insuTance money.
