Inc assistance Of the surgeon was called
and he was then placed under the Influence OF

his recovery,
N the ST. Mary's Market he was bitten by a cat.
he paid no attention to the bite. which he at the
Time thought harmless. But it seems that the
year. without apparent effect has made him

consider their action and yield to the workmen's
wishes. Their superintendent was instructed
TO inform the workmen to that effect, but it ap-
pears failed to do 80. and they resisted: they
persisted In their determination not to work
for less than their rates. and did not appear at
the works on Saturday morning. Knowing that
ahe workmen would come on Saturday night
for their wages, Mr.. Aldge ordered the super
intendent to tell them that all those who we're
willing to come back on Monday at their regu-
lar price might do so.
This, however, did not seem to satisfy the
workmen. who. 1t is said. threatened to prevent
any hands that might be brought from the city
from working Mt the mill In anticipation Of
