CHERRrFIELD, March 20.
At this place, Sunday evening, while leav-
ing church, Mrs. Hattie Sprague, a widow,
was killed by Chester Cunningham, cutting
her throat. The deed was probably prompt
ed BY Jealousy. Cunningham was arrested
this morning.
Harriet Sprague was young widow living
in one of the out districts in Cherryfleld. For
some time she had received the attentions OF
one Chester S. Cunningham, living in the
same district. Lately she had been visited
by another young man, one j. X. Wiley, OF
whom Cunningham became jealous. Sun
day afternoon Cunningham saw her on the
way to an evening meeting in the village. and
swore that if Wiley waited upon her home
he would kill her. After the meeting Wiley
offered his arm to Mrs. Sprague. They had
walked along on the sidewalk some eight
rods, when Cunningham rushed up behind
them, drew her head back with his left hand,
reached over her shoulder with his right. and
cut her throat by one stroke of his knife, and
then turned and fed. Mrs. Sprague lived
but about ten minutes. Cunningham was ar
rested this morning at the house of his sister,
and is now being examined before Trial JUS
tice Small. Judge Milliken acts for the gov
eminent. and William Freeman, Esq, for the
defence.

Out.
LAWRENCE, March 90.

LAWRENCE, March 20.
Two hundred and fifty worsted weavers
Joined in the strike at the Pacific Mills this
morning.
The mills are running now, but with about
one sixth a full complement of hands. The
strikers are orderly and but few of them are
seen on the street.
One hundred and forty weavers in the
worsted department of the upper Pacific mill
struck at $50, making the number of Access
sions to the strikers today, four hundred.
The weavers and spinners are now holding
a secret meeting.
At the spinners' meeting xRepresentative
Joseph J. Nichols presided. The meeting
was largely attended and was held with closed
doors. Committees were appointed to wait
| on Superintendents Stone and Parker. to ask
to see on what terms the strikers will be re-
ceived, but they unanimously voted not to
return to work under the proposed reduction.
mass meeting will be held on the common
at p. NJ, at which time the committee will
| report to the strikers.
Mayor Green and others of the special
| committee went to Boston, today, to consult
with the treasurer of the board of directors
| of the Pacific mills. Although great excite
ment prevails among the operatives, no dis
| turbances have occurred.
One thousand looms in the upper Pacific
mill and the entire worsted department will
shut down tonight, throwing 5000 persons out
of employment The worsted department of
the lower Pacific mill will probably be closed
Tuesday. The committee of weavers who
waited on Superintendent Stone, of the lower
Pacific mill, this noon, were told that their
former wages would not be restored.

osalf 7 he
committee of strikers who waited on Super
intendent Parker of the Pacific mills, to in
Quire if any concession would be made them,
were informed he would meet them on his
return from Boston, late this afternoon. The
| report is current that a cut is soon to be
made at the Washington mills. which en-
ploys about POO operatives. Should this
take place. trouble similar to that at the
Pacific is expected.
| The additions to the ranks of the strikers
today caused total cessation in the worsted
department of the upper Pacific mills, which
have now shut down indefinitely, throwing
out $50 non-strikers. Including the strikers
there are now 5000 operatives idle. At the
mass meeting, tonight, the strikers determ-
ined to continue the strike. The committee
appointed to consult with the directors of the
mills, in Boston, learning that they would
not be received, did not 60 on their mission.
| If the strike is persisted in it means loss to
the city of at least $4,000 per week. At a
meeting of the weavers, tonight, it was agreed
to hold a meeting tomorrow forenoon and de-
eide by ballot whether or not to resume work
1t is thought that some of the weavers will
return to work in the morning. The spin
ners will meet with the weavers in the morn
ing to take decisive action. There is no dis
order whatever among the strikers.

Greenville today for Yazoo river country
where great distress and suffering are report
ed. She has 100 tons of food, and it was
designed to remove the people from their

been abandoned. The people will be left in
their houses except in extreme cases, and ar
engagements will be made to furnish them
with supplies from depots which will be es-
tablished from eligible points. Capt. Lee

A letter from Mr. IIinckley, dated at Blue
hill, asking the name of the indiv idual whose
corrOboratinR statement appeared in the
Commercial, was received ut this office. The
letter was overlooked in our Office for few
days, but rs soon rs it was called to our
attention it was promptly answered and the
name of the person in question, Mr.. Charles
Patten, of Ellsworth, given. That letter must
have been in Mr.. Hinckley's possession for
some time prior to the making of this report
and the committee could doubtless have
obtained Mr.. Patterns evidence had they
desired it.-Bangor Commercial.
The foregoing appears in an editorial
in the Bangor Commercial of the nth.
with the heading. The Insane
Hospital Whitewashed." The reader
might be led to suppose from its
tenor that the Visiting Committee
failed intentionally to call Mr. Patten
before them. lest he might confirm Mr.
Tewksbury's statement. We have the
statement from the best authority. Mr..
Hinckley himself. that he has not to this
time received any answer to the
letter sent to the Commercial. though
he enclosed in that letter an envelope
with his name and address. TO be
used by the Commercial in sending
him n reply. The Investigating Com
mittee were thus kept in ignorance of the
author of the "Corroborating Statement"
ESQ called) which appeared in the Com
mercial. until after their report had been
made. when his name appeared as above
in the Commercial. II they did no, have
Mr.. Patterns statement 1t was not their
fault. Why his name was kept from
them the public can judge. This trick
and the falsehood covering it up. are
perfectly in keeping with the attempt of
the Commercial to iniure the Hospital by
publishing the story of an unfortunate
raving maniac. who did not know what he
was talking about.

A4gusts. Tuesday Morning, Mar. 81.


The opposition papers have for some
time busted themselves with guesses, sur
misses. conjectures, reports and assertions
in regard to candidates to be nominated by
the republicans at their coming State con-
vention for governor and members Of Con-
gress. The purpose Of this work is to
create jealousies and dissatisfaction
among republicans. 1t began early and
will probably continue down to the day of
the State convention. The slate will be
changed frequently and in strange and
wonderful ways. according as the varying
needs, moods and inspirations Of demo-
cratic conjurors and prophets may sug-
gest 1t is pleasant pastime for the OPP
position, almost equal to the sport of set
ting up and knocking down pins upon
bowling alley. and it costs nothing. To-day
they set up one man for governor. and to-
morrow they knock him down and put up
another. II is the same with members Of
Congress. Most of people have learned
and understand how this thing is done and
what for, but many are in the dark.
though it must be fearfully straining TO.
their credulity TO believe in all the guesses
and changes that are set before them in
the democratic papers.
Whatever other years may have been,
the present is not good year for guess
ing who the republican candidates at the
State convention will be. 1t is a year
when the republicans will pay uncommon
attention to the selection of candidates.
They feel an unusual interest in the ticket
that shall be adopted. There is great
deal depending upon the result in the next
election. and that result may be Influenced
favorably or unfavorably by the candi-
dates supported. Therefore the republ-
cans will take time and not hastily make
up their minds about candidates. They
will consider well. and we have no doubt
select wisely. There is but one feeling
abroad. running through all parts of the
State and controlling the minds of all re-
publicans. that is: 10 PIT IN nomination
the best and strongest ticket that can be Sc
iected What this ticket will be is not yet
known to any one. No democratic seer
has OWNED it. 1t has not been announced
in any democratic or other paper. If it is
made, as we believe it will be. and are
convinced it should be. solely with an eye
to the best interests OF the republican par
ty. and then supported in union and har
mony, it will be the successful ticket,
though the opposition will make a desper-
ate fight and ply every art. trick and
fraud to defeat it,
