C, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 16, .1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS INSURANCE COMPANY WINS CORDINGLY'S APPLICATION WAS FRAUDULENT. The Celebrated Nelson Furniture Company's Fire Engages the Attention of the Supreme Court. The celebrated case of E. C. Cordingly vs. the Scottish Union' Insurance Company, in which the plaintiffs, sought to recover the amount of .loss suffered through the fiie in the Nelson Furniture Company's premises, was ended at 7.30 o'clock last evening when the special jury found for the defendant company. The attempt in this case to force the insurance company to pay has a peculiar interest in tliat E. C. Cordingly, one of the plaintiffs in the action, was put upon his trial shortly after the fire upon a charge of arson and was acquitted by��� judge Forin. - Tlie hearing of the evidence occupied the greater part of three days, after which the case was left with a special jury composed of 0. A. Waterman, foreman; William Park, ��� Gnorge W. Steele, .lohn Lachore, W. N. Ironsides, W. L. McLean, II. Maepherson and 1). J". MoLacidan to find upon live.questions of fact. Justice Drake presented these to the jury, and carefully weighed the evidence bearing upon them. The first question ..was: Did the plaintiffs, Cordingly or Furdy, set fire to tho goods in question, or assist in so doing? With respect to this question justice Drake explained i tliat in order to find a verdict against the plaintiffs upon this point the jurors would have to be as fully satisfied that tlie crime was committed by the plaintiffs, and as fully proven, as would be necessary in a criminal trial, and they should* treat .the evidence submitted in the same way. ��� Thuir answer to the question, however, would not be equivalent to a verdict of guilty upon .a -1 criminal charge, but ib must be determined by tlie same weight of7 evidence. The only evidence offered was that there had been insuranceiupon the plaintiffs'* stock for two years for the small sum of ��2500; that Cordingly had a falling out with his partner, that litigation was commenced between himself and his partner,*-''and "that ".insurance- was subsequently increased to. $0000. There was also the suspicion of Purdy the partner that it was Cord-... ingly's intention to set fire to the place aud do him out of his share in the business. But the only real evidence against Cordingly was that he was the last person in the J=^buildingfbefore^the=fire=broke^outr that 20 minutes after he left the premises the fire broke oat, and the suspicions of Purdy. This the court declared was not sufficient evidence to convict a man of arson. The second question was: Did the above plaintiffs or any of them give notice to the defendants of any objection to the appraisement made by Mr. McKoweu ? The court explained that the question came under-certain clauses of the policy which the jury would have to consider. Among other provisions a statement of-loss, if auy, had to be submitted by the insured. Upon this point it was evident that the insurance company received some notice of .the* loss because Mr. McKoweu was sent to make an appraisement one month or six weeks after the fire occurred. The court, however, suggested that the plaintiff's statement of loss, or what might be considered as such, was not sufficient for the requirements of the policy. The statement required to be in the form of an affidavit, and the oue submitted was insufficient because it admitted of a variety of constructions and could nob be submitted to the test of au affidavit, wliich was an action for perjury. There was also provision in the policy for cases of disagreement upon lo?s appraisements, which provided for the making of an appraisement by two competent and disinterested appraisers. There was evidently disagreement iu the present case, bub nothing had been done in the matter of securing tho appraisement provided for under the policy, and in speaking of this provision tlie court expressed the opinion that it \va9 evidently a speedy and safe method of arriving at a conclusion with respect to any loss. The third question submitted wae: Were the declarations made by the plaintiffs with regard: to their loss true in every particular to the best of their knowledge and belief? In dealing with this the court passed over some of the minor objections which'were taken to the statement of Mr. Purdy, but laid particular stress upon the omission in this statement of Mr. Purdy's belief as to the origin of the fire: The court observed that it might be possible to suggest a reason why this statement was not put in, but it was not for him to say whether the declaration was true to the best of the maker's knowledge and belief. The fourth question was: Were the goods, sold by Mr. Day so sold at the request or by direction of the defendants? With regard to this the court observed that the evidence of Mr. Day was that he sold the goods with the consent of both plaintiffs. There was no evidence that the insurance companies had any knowledge bf the sale of the goods. This question was important in view of subsequent steps which might be taken in the case. The fifth and last question was probably the moat important of all: Was there any fraud, misrepresentation or false statement in the plaintiff's application for insurance herein? With regard to this the court directed^attention to the application made for the $2000 insurance. In this amplication 'the value of the stock, at stock taking, was given at $S500, which Avas incorrect, to the extent of $1300, the amount to which the stock was overvalued. Cordingly, who made this statement, could easily have ascertained that the value of the stock was but $7257. Then the present value of the stock was given as $10,000. The evidence showed the value of goods at stock taking $7257, subsequent purchases bringing it up to $11,401, and sales in turn reducing it $03(54, making the value of the stock in the store but $5097 at the time of the fire., So far from $10,000 wortli of goods being there, it was . evidently one of those cases of overvaluation which enable persons to take very little care whether there is a fire or not, which removed the slightest necessity of their protecting their property. The question for the jury was whether the application for insurance contained a false statement, and the evidence showed the, allegation of $10,000 was a valuation very much in excess of the value of stock carried at any period. The court concluded with a reference to the manner in whicli Mr. McKowen, the insurance company's appraiser, had conducted his appraisement in the course of which a very high compliment was paid to this officer. The jury'retired to consider their verdict a few minutes to G o'clock and the" court adjourned till 7:30. LATEST FAD NOT POPULAR Hotelmen Likely to Take a Hand in the Game. ���The movement to make Nelson a five-day-a-week town, the more it is considered, finds less favor among merchants who do business with people who live outside of Nelson. A merchant, who has decided to make a stand against the movement, said yesterday: "The meeting at the board of trade rooms on Tuesday night was in no sense of the word a representative one.. Few of the leading houses were represented, and those that were were unanimously against the movement. It is all very well for small retail grocers who do business in the residence fiarts of the town to favor such.a movement, for they do not sell a dollar's worth of goods to outsiders. As far as they are concerned, they could, without loss,' close up every afternoon..in* the week." Another merchant who is opposed to the movement said : "Pully.50 per cent of my trade is with people who live outside of Nelson, and in order to hold this trade I must do business as business is done iu towns with which Nelson competes. It. would be folly for me to close on Thursdays, and I intend to keep openi" But it is not-only the leading merchants who are opposed to'the movement. The hotelkeepers are awakening to the. fact that if no business is to be done in Nelson on Thursdays, they will-be the greatest sufferers. They say that their trade comes largely from the outside, and that if .they are to have two Sundays a w;eek, through the action of the merchants of Nelson, then they will take steps to pro- tect.their interests in such a way that the merchants of Nelson will not like. They say if v their business is tobecut off;one:sixth in order that a fad - shall be tried, they will be compelled to take a hand in the game. A'few.orders for groceries and other y hotel supplies placed with merchants doing business in Kaslo and Rossland may have a sobering effect on the faddists of Nelson. The transportation interests may also have something, /to say in the matter. ' It strikes them as being useless to run trains aud steamboats six day a week to a town whose business men only want to do business five days a week. They say they can make a considerable saving in wages if they can do the business in and out of Nelson on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Commercial travelers declare that they will have to rearrange their routes if Nelson is to be a five-day- a-week town. : They claim that they will be compelled to cancel dates for Nelson hereafter. Those who have no interest in the matter other than the privilege of paying taxes on real estate say that if a few more fads are adopted in Nelson the city assessor should readjust his values on real Restate; The residents of Nelson wno have more time now than they can put in comfortably say the movement is a foolish one, because there is no special amusement or recreation on Thursday afternoons, and there cannot be any until such time as all the towns in Kootenay come to an understanding that Thursday shall be a regular holiday. Were. that done, athletic games and sports could be made a special feature for Thursdays throughout Kootenay,; and the day could then be passed with some degree of enjoyment. The Tribune is of opinion that the movement was started without due consideration, and that it had better be quietly dropped. NELSON A WIDE-OPEN TOWN ON THURSDAYS THE SAME^AS ON OTHER WEEK DAYS.

Railroad Surveyors at Greenwood. . Greenwooij, Mav 15. ��� [Special to The Tribune.]���The Great Northern surveyors reached Greenwood this morning and aro camped near theElkhorn brewery in the northern end of the town. While reports have been sent out that the line tapping Boundary camps will start from Carson, following Fourth of July creek to Phoenix and then along the divide to Summit Camp, it is now evident that the engineers appreciate that all camps can be reached with less mileage from Midway along Boundary Creek valley. The longthof the proposed Carson mute to Summit Camp is approximately 25 miles, giving railway facilities to three camps only. The route from Midway up the Boundary valley through Greenwood to Phoenix would be 2L miles, tapping, with short spurs, Smith's Deadwood, Copper, Providence, Long Lake, Kimberley, Summit, Phoenix and Skylark camps. The grade for both routes is practically the same, viz, three per cent. Assizes at Goldpn. Golden, May 14.���[Special to The Tribune]���The assizes at Golden opened today.

C. Campbell-Johnston Says Companies Operating in Kootenay Are Starved; for Working Capital. German Views. Berlin, May lS.^-OHieials here discussing the answer of the Chinese peace commissioners say the fact of prime significance therein is that the commissioners agree to the indemnities as demanded, and the withdrawal of the troop.s can now proceed forthwith, but not all the foreign forces will be withdrawn at once. Tlie Chinese proposition to raise the important export duties will probably be adopted, since the only other possibility of increasing China's revenues is the reform of the likin duties which the powers particularly wish to avoid because ib would .require too much mixing in the internal affairs of China.

MONTREAL, 15.���A meeting of the commanding officers of the Montreal corps held today decided to have a grand military review when the duke and duchess of York visit the city. A dozen regiments, including those at Obta- wa, Toronto, Belleville, Kingston and Sherbrooke, were asked to assist, also some United States regiments. MONTREAL, 15.���The second fruit sale of the season was held today. Thirty-two thousand boxes of lemons and sixteen thousand packages of oranges were sold. The oranges sold fifteen to twenty per cent higher than at the first sale and the lemons fifteen per cent lower. There was a large attendance of buyers, principally from the United States. MONTREAL, 15.���William Mackenzie of Mackenzie & Mann arrived here today from New York, where he had a conference with premier Murray of Nova Scotia concerning building a railway from Halifax to Yarmouth. A number of other gentlemen attended the conference. Mackenzie would not divulge the result. R. C. Campbell-Johnston holds views of his own upon the lead problem of the Slocan and the matter of its satisfactory solution. He does not agree with the advocates of a government bounty upon refinery product that the "solution is to be reached by this method, but contends that any such system is fallacious and_ of very questionable benefit. Mr. Campbell-Johnston realizes, of course that his views may not be popular, but this does not restrain him from ventilating thera. In his opinion the silver-lea,d mining industry is suffering from the domination of the United States smelter and_lead_trust.���but-it^doesJ^not^ suffer so jnuch from this cause as from a starvation of capital necessary "to its economical working. In some cases this is the result of insufficient working capital, and in others it is due to distributing too much of the earnings in dividends and allowing nothing for development account; but in either event the result is the same. It means excessive milkings of the industry iu mining, in transportation, in smelting, and ultimately in refining, whicli put a tax upon the industry very few mines can stand. Tliat the managers of the trust understood the crippled condition of the silver-lead mining industry of Kootenay is shown by their action in refusing to purchase silver-lead ore. They appreciate the fact that all they have to do to stop production is to refuse to purchase, and they therefore have a smaller output to take care of. This is manifestly a much cheaper way of controlling the situation than would be the outright purchase of the mines, but, it is just as effective and must remain so until sufficient money is found for their proper working. In the opinion of Mr. Campbell- Johnston the scheme of the United States lead and, smelter trust is much larger than generally described. In his opinion ib does not end with the control of the silver production of the world, but aims at the control of the trade of China and India through the control of the silver market. It is from this international feature of the complications that he looks for assistance for the silver-lead mining industry. Great Britain cannot afford to allow the United States to assume absolute control of the world's silver production, since this might mean the moving of the world's silver market from London to New York, and would injuriously affect Great Britain's trade with China and the East. There is one way in which such an undesirable consummation could be prevented, and this "would be by the control of the Kootenay silver-lead mines by British" syndicates, or the in vestment of sufficient money in the silver-lead properties to facilitate the grouping of mines with a view to smelting. This, in the opinion ot Mr. Campbell-Johnston, is the great essential. The properties necessary for such a combination are already more or less developed, and all that is necessary to carry the. scheme through is sufficient capital. With such, a grouping of properties, and a smelting plant located at the dry ore, virtually two of the milkings which the industry is submitted to would be done away with, > and would place the silver-lead properties in a much more favorable position than could be hoped for under any system" of government bonus upon refined product. From this the step to the establishment of a refinery on the Pacific coast would be easy, and to be of any real benefit to the mines of Kootenay the refinery for their ores should bo located there. It is from the far east that the great demand for silver and lead comes, and to supply it the refinery should have the advantage of the cheap water .transportation rates to and from the. Pacific coast. To accept the present proposal of a government bonus upon ,;refinery product, with a refinery situated in the,province of Quebec, is to assume too much. It involves a change, in his opinion, of the policy, of the transportation and smelting companies by which, their rates for freight and treatment are based upon what the silver-lead industry can stand. It would simply result��in transferring control of the Kootenay silver-lead industry from the United States. smelter arid, lead trust to the transportation and smelting interests ori"this side, of the boundary line! Tin his opinion it may take British "opinion a year or so to crystalize, but it will come. The probable incursions of the United States silver trust into British commerce are too serious, and the silver deposits of Kootenay are too rich to allow the present unsatisfactory conditions to continue very long, especially when all that is necessary is the capital for working expenses.

Beckley, Hon. Samuel Parker and delegate R. W. Wilcox left for San Francisco. Beckley goes to lay before president Mc- McKinley a home rule resolution, passed in the house and the senate asking for the removal of governor Dole. Parker had a memorial unanimously endorsed by the Republican members of both houses and by the territorial Republican central committee reply to the home rule charges against governor Dole. Representative Wilcox is on his way back to Washington and says he has nothing to do with the fight. When the resolution was brought up in the house to send Beckley to Washington representative Em- meuluth, home ruler, made a sensational speech against governor Dole in which he declared that the conditions that led to the revolt in 1893 had developed again with Dole, now the usurper of power, instead of the ex-queen. Mrs. McKinley's Condition. San Francisco, May 15.���It is generally reported in this city that the condition of Mrs. McKinley ih extremely critical, but nothing definite can be learned, as Mr. Cor- teylo, the only avenue of official information, declines to make public at present anything tangible regarding the happenings in the sick room. Albany, New York, May 15.��� The traction strike was productive of no serious disorder during the night. The company made no further effort to operate cars or repair lines, and will probably remain inactive until the military-force called by the state is in a position to afford the fullest protection. A strong effort was made during the night to bring the contending interests to a conference, but it failed, and at this time the breach is as wide as ever. The establishment of the military patrol began shortly before last midnight, when three companies of the Tenth Battalion were quietly and quickly' dis-^ patched from the" Washington- avenue armory. One company whs ordered to the traction power hou^e, another bo the upper town barn,, aud the third to the northern barn. The first detachment of the Twenty- third infantry of Brooklyn arrived '��� here at 7:45 this morning. There are 400 men in - tho detachment under lieutenant-colonel ,Brady, The entire regiment, including 10001 men from Troy and elsewhere, have- been ordered to report in this city this afternoon. This will make th'e total military strength about 2200. The following statement of the1 situation was given out this noon by W. D. Mahon, international president of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Em- . ployees of America: "Chairman Dillworth and myself have considered the situation and do not .~*>e .anything to be gained by remaining longer in the city of Albany at this time. We came here to take up the matter in the interest, of our people and! if possible bring about an adjustment of the -same. Owing to the bitterness growing out of the present dispute there is no present prospect of bringing the contending forces together. Being charged with the completion of the work of our international convention, which is to codify the amended constitution and publish the pro- " ceedings of the convention, we therefore decided to take up that work and leave the matters here to the committees of the two local organizations until such time as we deem our presence will be of assistance to them. There have been so many unfounded rumors set afloat to the effect that our international -executive-board-had-repudiatedthe^ position taken by the men here that I again take this opportunity of denying these rumors and to say" that the men here will have the support of our organization in accordance with our constitution aud laws." Nkw" York, May 15.���Another detachment, consisting of 225 men of the Twenty-third regiment, Brooklyn, left their armory today " for Albany. This will.make in all 035 men ot the Twenty-third regiment already on duty. Troy, May 15.��� Although the prevailing sentiment in this city appears to be adverse to the traction company, the city is quiet. The railroad tracks on the bridge crossing the Potsenkill at Fourth street were torn up during last night *nd the rails thrown in the creek. This act was the work of hoodlums and is severely condemned by the strikers. Under orders from headquarters the three Troy companies of the Second regiment are now assembling at the state armory. Albany', May 15.���The first step of the military force was taken shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, when the Third Signal Corps, which is mounted, and a detachment of mounted police cleaned the streets around tlie Quail-street barn. The crowds assembled on either sido of the barn offered no resistance and fell back quickly when tlie troops swept down on them. A scene of four blocks was cleared and a new picket line established at its outer edges. This move, it is understood, was preliminary to the repairing of the lines in that vicinity and the clearing away of the wreckage and obstructions on the tracks.

If they cannot destroy the wholesale houses of Nelson with a railway, they hope to destroy its retail houses through the enforcement of a fad. Two railways mentioned in the Railway Subsidy Act if built will benefit Kootenay and Yale districts. One is the road between Vernon and Midway, which would give the farmers of East Yale direct railway connection with the mining camps in Boundary district and Southern Kootenay. The other is the road between Fort Steele and Golden. This road would give the mining and ranching interests of the central portion of East Kootenay what they lack six months in the year. These roads would help the farmer secure.a market for the produce of his farm and enable the miner to market his ore at a reasonable cost for transportation. What helps the farmer and the miner helps the merchant. The Stock -Markets. London, May 15.��� Contrary to the fears felt on the stock exchange the settlement is progressing without difficulty and the best-informed brokers believe that the crisis has been successfully passed so far as London is (concerned. , New York, May 15!���The stock market opened firmer today, owing taargeneraMeelingthatthe'western^ railroad war had been settled, and this encouragement was strengthened by higher prices from London although quotations from that point were largely nominal. The London business in American securities for the present has fallen to a considerable proportion on account of the trotble caused there as well as here by the trouble in Northern Pacific. Speculation on the local exchange continued rather nervous, notwithstanding that during, the first hour of trading there was a general absence of the rush to sell which was so pronounced yesterday. Buyers were timid aud the large margins demanded by brokerage houses was a decided check to speculation by the public at large. WAS CLEARLY OUTSAILED Eut There Were Reasons. London, May 15.���The Yachting World tomorrow will, say that while it would be idle to deny that the first trial between the two Shamrocks was a keen and absolute disappointment, yet one or two important considerations should not bo forgotten in analyzing their work on the legs of tlie triangle, and points out that on tho first h'g, a reach of six miles, tho challenger just succeeded in holding the older boat. Iu going to windward in tlio dead beat of the second six miles the challenger was clearly outsailed. As tlie yachts ran home the wind was falling, so that the half mile separating them at the finish represented five minutes aud' five seconds. The Yachting World adds: "From this it is apparent that the only leg on which the new boat failed appreciably was on the turn to windward and comparing the manner in which her canvas hung with the beautiful set of the former Shamrock's sails the wonder is that the loss was so comparatively trifling." The mainsail of the challenger, the Yachting World, saye, set like a bag. Another consideration is that the Shamrock I was freed from overburdening by her clipped boom and gaff. The Yachting World concludes that while it remains to be seen whether the new boat can beat the old boat handsomely in fine weather and lighter winds, despondency is premature. .*���-''' West Virginia Mine Horror. Fairmont, West Virginia, May 15. ���An explosion; occurred at the George's Greek Coal and Iron Company's shaft at Farmington, West Virginia, today. Nine men are reported killed. At least ten men are still in the mine. As the shaft was still ablaze at 3 o'clock this afternoon, it is impossible to .make an effort to rescue them and it may be a day or two before the flames can be subdued. One dead body has been recovered aud 14 others have been taken out, a number of whom are not expected to live. The men who were at work in the shaft were engaged in driving a heading seven miles long to connect with a shaft at Fairview. The shaft is 250 feet deep. The accident was caused by an explosion of natural gas. Machinists Troubles.

Williamson, AVost Virginia, May 15.���Great difficulty is being experienced in getting a jury to try the case of John II. Stokes of this city charged with the murder of Rev. J. .1. Woohl at his home here on December 5th last. The trial SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rato three per cent,. " GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. opened yesterday and already the regular panels have been exhausted without securing mote than one juror. Stokes is so well known aud the killing caused such deep feeling that it is hard to find any one without a fixed opinion. Tbe tragedy was remarkable. Woohl was a Presbyterian preacher and in a sermon last winter violently denounced the society people of the town for dancing. Stokes took offence at the sermon and the next Sunday the remarks were repeated. The following evening Stokes and Woohl met on the threshold of the latter's residence. Hot words passed. Mrs- Lanbive, the minister's housekeeper, to .whom. Stokes was talking and who is the only witness, says Woohl slapped Stokes in tbe face and shot him in the hip. Then Stokes drew his pistol and fired, killing Woohl instantly. Stokes is popular and a prominent politician, lie has beeu out on bail all the time and the case is attracting great attention.

But China Protests, Pekin, May 13.���Tlie foreign ministers, refused to allow themselves to be quoted for publication regarding the Chinese government's answer to the indemnity demand, but three of them gave expression to their personal views of the matter. One of these said he had never expected the Chinese to agree to the demands without arguing, even had tlie total only been ten millions. He considered the Chinese offer of fifteen million taels* annually for thirty years absurd and ridiculous and thought the request that seven million be given them from the foreign customs bordered upon insolence. The powers, he believed, would make a-" mistake-'.if they should not exact the utmost centime. Another said it would not matter, what China said and that whatever the powers should .decide upon would have'to be agreed to eventually. A third expressed himself as satisfied that a majority of the powers would agree, to the demands in accordance witli China's ability to pay. *-' '" * '"���'. Will Remodel the Challenger.

He says a definite understanding was arrived at with the Ottawa authorities with respect to the census enumerators before work was undertaken upon basis of so much per day enumerators for tlie city and side sections. He does not anticipate that any attempt will be made to pay the enumerators upon the basis of names received, and has every reason to believe the original understanding will be adhered to. ��� Inspection by the D.

CHAMBER APPLICATIONS. . In the case of Boie vs. O'Leary, an action for an accounting and for winding up the partnership of the O'Leary Brothers, , contractors, judgment was given yesterday against Timothy O'Leary as admin- jstmtor^of^the=estate^o��^Johru O'Leary, for $1893 and an order made for the sale of the partnership property to pay the partnership debts and apply-upon judgment. ''..'' In Clarke vs. First National Bank, an order was made for the appointment of a commission to take the evidence of a witness abroad, the plaintiff to give security for costs. In the case of the Kaslo & Slocan Railway Company vs. Martin, an action in connection with the payment of government timber dues, an application for leave to put in a rejoinder to the plaintiff's statement in reply was adjourned until today. Swerdferger's Last Trapping Trip. John A. Turner, gold commissioner, has received the finest collection of martin skins ever seen in Nelson. There are 41 skins in the bunch, and they represent upwards of $400 in money, but they probably cost William Swerdferger his reason. For several years Swerdferger has spent the winter months in trapping around the Little Slocan lake, the most dreary section in the piovince of British Columbia, and the skins in question represent "Bill's" profits ou last winter's trapping. It is likely that Swerdferger's creditors will make application under the provisions of the Lunacy Act for tlie sale of the skins and the application of the proceeds in discharge of their claims. Drowning Accident in Goat River. Word was received in Nelson yesterday of a drowning fatality by whicli John Hammelmeyer lost his life in Goat river. The deceased was engaged in Anderson's logging Improving Small Debts Court. An importa'nt amendment was made to the Small Debts Court Act during the recent session of the legislature wliich will make this court even more popular for the collection of small accounts. This" amendment admits of garnishment before judgment and immediately upon issuance of the small debts court summons. The practice heretofore has been that garnish proceedings could not be had until judgment was first obtained in th*.- original action. The new amendment, therefore, places the small debts court upon the same footing as the county court with respect to garnishments before ' and after judgment. Nelson's experience of the small debts court has beeu most satisfactory arid in nine cases out of every ten sued in the court payment has been secured and at a nominal cost. , Clerks Think They Are Overworked. The following was handed to the editor of The Tribune last night by a clerk who works in. a Baker street" clothing store. It is published merely, to give the clerks' side of the questiou, and not because The Tribune favors the Thursday closing movement: "Today (Thursday) is the mid-week half holiday. All merchants in Nelson who stand for reforms and shorter hours, of ' labor will close promptly at 12 o'clock noon and remain closed until Friday morning. Drug stores will reopen at 7 p. m. Clerks have to work 11 to 12 hours five days in the week and 16 to 18 hours on Saturday. All those in sympathy with the Thursday half holiday will kindly refrain* from shopping on Thursday afternoon." Eastern Baseball. Hartford 3, Toronto 4. Rochester a, Syracuse 4.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-16 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
