Scranton Republican, Friday, July 19, 1889 Elsewhere- Patterson, NJ, July 18. - In all the principal silk throwing mills here notices were posted to-day ordering a reduction of ten percent in the wages of winders, doublers and danters.

There are 300 operatives out and 200 more are expected to strike Monday. If the strike continues, a great many soft silk workers also will be thrown out of employment. Nearly all the operatives are girls, from fourteen to twenty years old.

For the past ten years in the camps of the Thirteenth, Sgt. A. R. GOULD of Company C, has been able to work some practical jokes on the boys, such as the balloon ascension, lifting machine, etc. But the clam lunch joke is well worth mentioning, and eclipses them all. Last Tuesday Sgt. GOULD sent out invitations to several officers of the regiment, inviting them to a clam lunch at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the lake side cottage of Dr. George S. THROOP. This was done without the knowledge of Dr. Throop. So at about one o'clock Wednesday afternoon the first seen to approach the residence of Dr. Throop which is near Hotel Pines was Capt. W. R. ROCKWELL, of Company H. He was accompanied by a friend and both rapped at the door of the cottage. When it was opened by the host himself, in the dining room could be seen Dr. Throop's family and a few visitors from Scranton partaking of a hearty dinner, much to the surprise of Capt. Rockwell and his friend. They immediately saw that it was a joke. Alex DUNN, the comedian of the camp, received an invitation, and even he was fooled. When Sgt. Gould made his appearance at the cottage, accompanied by Sgt. ROEBLING, Dr. Throop, who had been watching diligently for nearly half an hour, received them in his parlor and said: "Goldie, I am on to you, this is a joke on the boys," after which the invited guests were entertained in the best manner as possible on such short notice. During Wednesday morning when the different officers received invitations to the clam lunch, Webster SCHISM, of Company C, in order that he could be there with the others, borrowed a clean white shirt from one of the boys, a pair of cuffs from another, and a nice white necktie from another. Major Dr. ALBRO on not receiving an invitation to the lunch, requested that Sgt. Gould should go to Dr. Throop and demand an apology. George WOLF, another soldier was also badly fooled, and when he did not receive an invitation, told several of the boys that it was a shame that he, a cousin of Dr. Throop, should be slighted in such a manner. Captain Edward E. CHASE (Co. A), was officer of the day, but even he went down to the cottage to see whether there was a clam lunch or not. Many others were deceived, the Colonel and his Adjutant sending letters of regret. DIED - SWINGLE - In Scranton, July 18, 1889, Mary E. Swingle, wife of A. C. Swingle, and oldest daughter of L. W.
