II6IC RILL STRIKES
Situation at New Bedford
Unchanged To-Day.
New Bedford, Mass., Aug. 22. —The
strike situation to-day has apparently j
changed but little. Neither side has i
made any concessions, and the situa- I
tion bus resolved itself Into a fight be- j
tween the yarn and cotton mills. It
is thought that in less than a week
after the Howland, Pierce and City j
Manufacturing companies' mills start
up that all the other yarn mills will i
be running, but that the other mills j
will make a fight for awhile and then |
make concessions to the spinners who I
will go in, compelling the other opera- j
tivos to follow. This is an opinion
generally beard among those most In
terested in the strike.
Notices posted on the Wamsutta
mills gates indicate a bitter strike, the
help being called "late employes."
The situation among the weavers Is
vastly different than among the other
classes of operatives. The weavers
contend that they have not only suf
fered u cut down In wages by an actual
reduction, but also a cut down by being
paid by the pound. The bitterness of :
their sentiments was demonstrated last |
evening at a mass-meeting, held In the ;
South park, where hundreds crowded '
around and listened to an interesting
appeal from Secretary Hart, of their
union. The meeting was called to see
how tho weavers felt on the particulars
bill. The chairman announced that it
was decided at the meeting of tho
union weavers on Monday morning, and
a resolution passed to that effect, that
the weavers do not return to work un- j
til particulars aro furnished and that
the particulars bill be made the issue
of tho strike, as far as the weavers
arc concerned. The chairman further :
said that he was not going to be cut
down, but that he expected to have
his warps cut out soon after he return- j
ed to work, and the new goods would
be put in, which would probably be
equivalent to n reduction of from 15 to
20 per cent. The chairman called for a '
vote on the motion that the weavers >
do ndt return to work until the manu
facturers agree to comply 'with the par- |
ticulars bill. It was carried unanl- :
mously, and cheers rent tho air to
show the weavers' enthusiasm.
Andrew G. Pierce in an interview
paid yesterday: "We arc Indifferent
on the question of the strike so far as
its effects upon the mills is concerned,
and are entirely willing to shut down
tinder the circumstances. It the opera
tives were unwilling to continue work
ing under a cut down, that is their
concern. Under existing conditions the
inducements to continue operating the
mills were scarcely worth the while,
and we have all agreed to shut down
Indefinitely, with the exception of Mr.
Howland."
"Do you consider his attitude a vlo- 1
lation of the compact entered into by
the several corporations?"
"I cannot look at it in nny other light, i
Perhaps he can. I dare say he will
stand before tho country as a great
philanthropist and friend of labor."
STARRED A FRENCH OFFICER.
Another Dangerous Anarchist Ar
rested in Paris.
Paris, Aug. 22.—Albert Daudey, a
militant anarchist, stabbed Police Ser
geant Babestan in the Rue do la Cite
iMonday evening. He was overpowered
by two policemen and was got to the
station after a brisk tussle. The ser
geant was removed to a hospital, where
an examination showed that tho wound
was not a mortal one. He is making
fair progress towards recovery.
When confronted by a commissary of
police shortly after the stabbing. Dau
dey boasted that he was an anarchist,
lie was sorry, he said, that the wound
was not a mortal one. He had mistaken
Babestan for Polsson, the officer who
arrested Emilo Henry. Somebody else
would have to dispose of Polsson now.
After Poisson's death, Daudey said,
Premier Dupuy and President Caslmlr-
Perler would be cared for by the an
archists.
Two men who loitered near Daudey
when he attacked Babestan ran away
as soon as they saw the policemen
corning.

Confined in a Mad Kouso
Unjustly, It Is Claimed.
Newark, N. J., Aug. 22. —A petition
has jUBt been filed In the court of
chancery praying for the release of
James A. Barremore from the insane
asylum at Amityvllle, L. 1., where, it
is claimed, he is confined, although
perfectly sane. Mr. Barremore is a very
wealthy man and formerly a member
of the diamond brokerage firm of Ran
dal, Barremore & Billings, of New
York, from which he derived an In
come of $7,000. His wife, a daughter of
Dr. Von Dunkirk, of this city, secured
his commitment and is at present the
guardian of his estate, which em
braces, among other things, $53,000 in
cash.
Barremore drank heavily, and In 1803
went to a Keeley institute in Philadel
phia, from which he was discharged,
cured. On May 2, 1892, his mother died
and left him an additional $25,000.
Meanwhile his wife had been trying to
secure his commitment to an asylum
and succeeded five days after he se
cured the legacy. It was done by trick
ery, Mr. Barremore's friends allege,
and for no good purpose.
Mr. Barremore has been denied the
privilege of communicating to his
friends, he asserts, and finally suc
ceeded In smuggling a letter out by a
discharged patient. It was addressed
to Senator Daly, of Hudson county,
who at once began habeas corpus pro
ceedings, but was unsuccessful.
The case was referred to a commis
sion, which declared him insane. His
wife was then appointed guardian and
custodian of his estate.
Friends took up the case and had
two of the best alienists of the country
examine him. They reported that he
was sane and a special master was ap
pointed to take testimonjy by Vice
Chancellor Van Fleet, who expressed
himself that he would get the true
facts of the case and restore the prop
erty held by Barremore's wife to him.
TWO ORAVES FOR iHE M.
The Last Request of the Central l*urk
Lovers To Be Disregarded.
New York, Aug. 22. —The mother of
Juliette Founder called at the morgue
last night and had the body of the
girl placed in a coffin and taken home.

at the morgue. His parents will have
the body taken home to-day.
The mother of the girl and the
friends of Marcus declare that the re
quest of the couple to be buried to
gether in one grave will not be carried
out, as they are opposed to It.
When Juliette Fournicr married her
uncle, Henry Founder, In Paris last
November, the first act of a tragedy
began that culminated In Central park
yesterday In the death of two—the
young wife and her lover, Julius do
Mnreus, at the hands of the latter.
When the bodies were found In a clump
of bushes by a policeman, lying by
the side of the woman was her corset,
removed In order that the bullet would
not fall In Its work of death.
Whether the lover killed Loth her
and himself, or whether she aimed the
pistol, will probably never be known.
Letters found beside them explained
their motive for commuting the rash
deed. They were madly In love with
each other, and preferred denth to
separation.
