New Bedford. Mas.. Aug. 21.
TUE mills of tbe city are com
pletely tied up to-day, even those
which were running yesterday,
being sunpen led to-day. The
liowlund corp -rations have not yet re
Mimed work, but undoubtedly will
within a few diya, us an agreement his
been fully reao .ed. The spinn -rs'
xecutive coramitte are today devoting
tneir en -rts to getting tbe Uennett an
Columbia mills, which manufasture
toe same line of goods bs the three
Howland corporations into line. From
statements made privately by the offi
cials of these mills there is some reason
to believe that the effort will be
sue
cessful.
The fate of the strike now depends
upon the cloth mills. Some of the
treasurers are dispose I to fUht it out i
11 takes all winter. Tu-y assert tha
an agreement has been reached wherei-y
toe mills are to be locked up indrh
nitely. On tbe other band iudividua
treasurers are quoted saying that tbev
are looking for a loop bol- to get out of
the trouble aud will bd glad to find It
quickly.

any irngtu ot tun.
Ii may 1 e, however, that even if the
tuanufucturers fimilly conce 1e the wage
queetiou the strike will not immedi
ately ei d. The operatives are Indignant
at the evasion of the recently passed
Particulars bill, and at a mans meeting
at tbe South park today they voted to
make this an ieine of the strike and not
tn return to worn until the particulars
provided by law are fnruisbsd.

LITTLE HEROINES.
Two Girls Sacrifice Cuticle to Be
Used in a Skin Grafting Opera
tion on Their Brother.
Special to the Scranton JWiune.
Pittston. Pa , Ang 21. Dr. McFsd
den tbe attending physician at tbe
hospital, performed a difficult opera
tion this morning on John Reilly, the
young boy who was so badly injured
some three weeks ago by baving tbe
lower part of bis abdomen crushed and
mangled by a mine car. His injuries
were sneti that Dr. McFadden
decided that io ordsr to assist naturs
in the healing of tbe wound, it was
necessary to resort to skin gracing.
Two little sisters of the boy, aged 9
aud 11, consented to make the sacri
fice, und went to the hospital yester
day morning at the appointed time.
ur. aicUaldea, assisted by Dr. Mc
Keawen, the resident physician, were
in waning. Dr. Hilcman was present
during tbe operation.
JUike two brave lutle heroes the chi1.
dren bared th.ir arms and the work of
r moving tbe cuticle was begun
Piece by piece scaro-ly one-quarter of
n men 10 siz was removed witb dex-
lerity until f mrteen pieoes were re
moved. While tbe pieces were 1 in ill
in size the pain was fully as great as if
tuey were ten times as large, but with
tue love tbey bore tbe patient suflNrer
tuey never flinched under the trying
rdeiti. Ibe pieces upon being re
moved were as .quiokly applied to the
HI oled parts aud tue oeeessary heal-
iug remedies used in such oases were
applied.
lne operation lasted upwards of half
an hour. Tbe physicians feel satisfied
that with tbe fresh cuticle the wound
will beal in one-fourth less time than if
they were to take their natural course.
Tne little girls, on being as.ured
their brother would profit br the heroic
sacrince they bad make, kissed him an
affectionate good bye and witu light
nearts loll lor tbeir borne.
