The sensational story mentioned in an
evening paper Of the appearance at the Navy
department of u Miss Mamie Roe, armed with
bowie knife and pistol, in search Of clerk
who had injured her, turns out to have no
foundation. There is no Miss Roc living on

OF the game neither makingan error. Keelo

A mass meeting was held at McCauley's

THE rEwKsBURY TROUBLE.

The Investigation Drawing TO close
and Growing EXcitlng-Tho Governor
Goes or In n HuT and Threatens TO BE
Heard Elsewhere.
Boston, July IA majority of the Tewks-
bury committee reported to the house this
forenoon that Thomas ]. Marsh, .jr., refuses
TO produce memorandum books showing the
disposal of the bodies. Tho facts OF the case
are rocitcd for the house to act upon. The
minority report is presented, sayin that tho
committee has all the essential facts that
Marsh's memorandum contains the names of
the bodies dissected; that Gov. Butler used
the names furnished by Hall one of the wit
nesses, in way contrary to dccency; that no
chance for u similar course with other memo
randa should be allowed, and chat the matter
bo dropped.
In the Tewksbury hearing this morning
the evidence of the state assayer was given to
the effect that some of tho entries on the cash
book of r. j. Marsh had been altered with
acids and the original amounts were larger
than Marsh made them. The governor in-
troduced evidence to show that the previous
testimony that tho bodies were always deliY-
cred under bonds, was false.
An order was introduced in the house to-
day by Mr. Joyner (dem.) that warrant is.
sue for the arrest of II. j. Marsh, ir., for con-
tempt in not producing memoranda of tho dis
posal of dead bodies sent from rcwksbury for
dissection. Tho order was laid over till to-
morrow.
John Burns, who admitted that his right
name was Burnham, testified as to the num-
Der of hens kept by Marsh, which the gov
crnor claimed were fed by the state and the
eggs sold to the state. At private meeting
of the committee Il question arose on dividing
the remaining time, 50 as to give Mr.. Brown
an opportunity to reply to the re-
buttal evidence of the governor. The
latter protested earnestly, saying too much
time had already been wasted in arguing
on Mr.. Browns objections. lie hoped the
| legislature would allow the committee to 20
on Mt its leisure. The chairman reminded
him that he, in u recent message 10 that body,
had said the purposes of the investigation
had been accomplished. The governor vigor-
ously maintained his right to the remaining
| time, and finally left in rather an excited
state, saying the committee could do rs it
! pleased, but he would be heard elsewhere. 1t
was then voted to close the evid to-mor-
row night, leaving Friday at the disposal of
| counsel,

Hard Crowd.

The Mountain Sentinel thus speaks
of the dottners:
At the time murderer Cottner gave
his bonds, his father and brother, who
live few miles beyond the Hot Lake,
ID order to procure the bendsmen,
GoodaIl and Little, turned over to them
as collateral security some personal
property, amounting to near $2oo.
The property was held by the suritles
until Oottner had left the country, and
it was evident that his intention was
not to return, when the Cottners against
the will and consent Of the bondsmen
took the property back into their pos
session and refused to give 1t up. A
replsvin suit was brought by the
bondsmen, but through technicality
in the pleadings the case was dismiss
ed and the Cottners allowed to resume
possession Of the property. The cir
cumstances prove the fact that young
Cottnor in his murderous hilarity, is
only acting out nature that he has
honestly inherited, "a chip from the
old block" Such breed is not only
unsafe in any community. but crimi.
nal disgrace to any country or state.
1t is to be regretted that the murderer
left any Of his relatives behind.

er papers in the star-route trial this morn
ing. After about two hours had been con-
sumed in the monotonous reading, Mr.. In
gersoll said his supply of papers was ex-

for the afternoon session. Although the
court seemed to attach small importance to
houseful of it would not weigh feather
Mr. Wilson procured fresh supply Of pa
pers and continued the reading.
Ray B. Eaton, of Bath, Me-, deputy col
lector of customs, and formerly correspond
ing clerk in the Second Assistant Postmaster
generals Office was placed upon the stand to
show the method of advertising the service
to be let upon certain routes, but the court
refused to allow testimony of that character
The witness said that in 1879 he had travelled
over the West in his capacity of inspector of
routes and he described the growth and de-
velopment of the country.
Walter Spanger, of the inspection di-
vision of the Postoffice Department, de-
scribed the method pursued in making fines
and deductions for failure of service.
A long examination was made regarding
the Kearney-KeDt route, with the object of
showing that the sub-contractor had failed

The examination of this witness and the ar
guments to which it gave rise occupied the

Labor Legislation
WASHINGTON, March 13.-The board of di-
rectors appointed by the central committee
on labor legislation, organized by authority
of the last Congress of the National Labor
Unions, submit to organized trade unions
and assemblies of labor of the United States
manifesto headed with the stirring call
ITO Your Tents, 0, Israel' The manifesto
denounces the majority of the Senate as law
yers retained by the federated capitalists, de-
mands an extra session of Congress as a REM
edy for impending strikes, and advises all
wage-workmen to join their trade union or
the Knights of Labor, and present an un-
broken front
The manifesto denounces the abrupt sus-
pension of the Senate investigation of the re-
lations between capital and labor and says
'This action, coupled with later proceed
ings inimical to the interests of wage-work-
ers, convinces the board of directors of the
fnsincerity and hollow hypocrisy of the pro-
fessions of the majority of the senators. The
complete subsection of our legislators to the
moneyed power has never been more clearly
demonstrated than by the recent tariff legis-
lation of the Forty-seyenth Congress, which
threatens to result in an immediate and dis
tressing reduction of wages in many great

The attempt will naturally lead to strikes
and consequent misery and want; possibly
riot and disorder will ensue, and the blame
will be sought, as usual, to be attached to the
poor workmen instead of the gay and festive
liars, hypocrites, iugglers and public plum
derers who basely abuse the powers reposed
in them by a coniiding people. The psalmist

human agencies have undoubtedly devised
schemessy which the few have ensaved the
many, and human beings must rectify the
wrong. We should not continue to look
into the clouds of heaven, like ignorant
ours, for deliverance from our oppressors,
but to- one another. The federated drones
must be'countervailed by federated labor ers,
demanding, as with one voice, immediate re-
form. Whatever we do, however, should be
done peaceably, if possible, and in accord
ance with law
