INDIGNANT GIRLS.
They Will Make it Warm for a
Trenton Editor.
Fifteen Hundred Of them Rightfully Defend
ing Their Good Names-A Big
BOycOtting Scheme.

TRENTON, July 2T.-The factory girls, who
number about /, 500 in this city, together
with their friends, are up in arms against
Editor Mott, OF the Trenton Times, because
of an article he published on Saturday
night which reflects on their morality.
The subject was the new child labor law,
which the editor said would bring blessings
in disguise because it prohibited the en-
ployment of young girls in factories.
then asserted that at is notorious fact
that more girls are led astray by working
in factories and where there are many per-
sons employed than in any other way.
The Character
of The average factory girl is well known to
those who watch life in all its phases. In
the vulgar parlance of the street, factory
girls go to the bad very fast Gould the
records of fallen maidens be read, 1t would
be found that a majority of those who have
become outcasts from society and habitGes
of houses of i'll fame were once employed
in factories, mills, or shops" The girls
employed in the woolen mills aud the
Eagle Pottery have signed paper strong
ly denouncing the editor, and binding
themselves to boycott all the merchants,
store keepers, ETC., WuO patIOil"7 ulS PoPoA'
II will be published in tomorroWs state
Gazette.
hWilliam Hancock, superintendent of Will
sons wooden mills,
Condemns the Attack
and says, in his 43 years experience in fac.
tories, he never knew the girl employees OF
such places to be any worse than any
Others. He contends that they are better
and more virtuous than most OF those en-
pIoyed in other labors. He says he never
knew such storm of indignation to exist
among factory girls as that at present
caused by the indiscretion of Editor Mott.
Manufacturing pOtters and others who en-
ploy females are very indignant at the at
lack, and they condemn Mott in no un-
measured terms. The affair is town talk,
and threats are made against the otsndlng
editor if he is ever found near any OF the
factories. Mott says he wrote the article
hastily and did not mean any disrsspect to
the factory girls of Trenton, and ne is sorry
their feelings are hurt.

BALTIMORE, July 27.-The REGISTER cor

noon, in regard to q rumor that was preva-
lent that the Company was about to accede
to the demands of the tslegrsphers, and
ascertained the following facts in regard to
the situation:
You can say" said the official, that
we have not concluded as yet to take any
such step"
How about the rumor?'
81 know nothing about it, except that an
early edition of an afternoon paper said
that we were seriously meditating on the
subject. That was the first mention Of the
matter that saw or heard o."
Then there is no truth in the rumor OF
q proposed compromise to-day"
mo. There is not a word Of truth in
the statement The company never had
or have not any idea of trying to effect a
compromise as the matter now stands. We
expect to run our business right along.
OF course, We are crippled some, but moth
| ing else could be expected under the pres
ent difficulties. We expect to be running
smooth in a few days"
The other Side.
Upon being questioned prominent men,
Der Of the Brotherhood said: There is no
doubt but that the Baltimore and Ohio and
Western Union will come to time in few
days. 1t is not an idle rumor that nego-
tiations are pending. 1t is an absolute
fact"
Have you made any direct proposition
to the company

except that Il conference was held or is to
be held to-day on the subject. The COM
pany would like to see the men all return,
but there is q breach between them at pres

matter will be settled within a week"
Then you confidently believe that the
worst is over"
''Yes, and believe that what is termed by
scme as an idle rumOr will be turned into
glorious fact before a week rolls round"

New YORK, July IA divorce suit of an

New York produce merchant, who lives on

Lawrence's house lived Demley. When
Minnie was on the stoop with Mr.. Law
renee this youth was always on the piazzs
in front of his house, and, with paper In
hand, would take glance every now and
then at Minnie, who, in return, would
send back a sweet smile unknown to her
uncle.

but TO no effect, for she told her uncle that
she loved the young man and was deslrous
of making his acquaintance. The uncle
made no objections, and short time after
the detected smile Charlie was a constant
visitor at the house.
Scarcely two months had passed after the
acquaintance, when Mr.. Lawrence, it is al
legged, compelled the young man TO marry
the fair Minnie. He protested, saying that
he was scarcely seventeen years OF age. A
minister was sent for and the marriage was
performed. This marriage occurred on
one of the nights of Charles usual visits,
and was not expected by him. That night
he went home and never told his parents OF
What had happened. Mr.. Lawrence, it is
said, gave his niece a considerable amount

she refused to go alone. Six months after

MUS, o., July E.-Considerable excite
msnt was created yesterday morning.
when it became known that the Ward Iron
Company, proprietors OF the large mill st
this place and also Of q new. mill at New
Philadelphia, o had made an assignment
TO r N. Ratliff and John NJ. Stull. IL Is
learned that the assignment was caused BY
the Ward Iron Company's paper going 10
protest here and at Pittsburgh. What
the extent Of the liabilities are 1t
is yet impossible to learn, but
II Is estimated by competent authority
that they will reach nearly Q half million
Of dollars. It has been known in business
circles for some time that the Ward Iron
Company was greatly embarrassed, and Q
suspension OF business was looked for at
almost any time. Last Saturday they made
pay Of 5000, and il was then thought
that they would pull through another
month. The assets will probably be very
small When the failure was made known,
depositors made q rush for the banking
house Of A. G. Bentley & Co., that was

The Rush
was so great that the bank was obliged to

ly arranged. Church & Mcfarland, who
have been handling Ward Iron
company's orders, considered il best to
close their doors at noon until affairs are
settled. They have made no assignment,
and expect TO close up in few days. Mr..
James Ward, who is manager and princi.
pal stakeholder Of the firm, made bad
failure in 1873, the amount Of the l:abili-
ties being at that time $l,70O,000. His as.
