NEw YoRK, August 1o.-There are sew
eral hundred cloakmakers on q strike in
this city, and yesterday some Of them
we're charged with misdemeanors. A
committee Of two hundred strikers, while
marching through Suffolk street, were
roughly dispersed bya squad Of police, as
they had no permit TO parade. They had
been delegated to induce other cloak
makers to stop work, and the police say
that Just before they were dispersed q de-
tachment Of 25 OF them had entered ssy-
eral shops on Norfolk, Suffolk, Delaney
and Division streets, and forcibly driven
the workers out. They are also accused
Of damaging machinery in these shops
and cutting up eloaks. Five men were
arrested, three Of whom where aiser.
wards discharged land two were fined 80
each. Themanufacturers, with one accord,
claim that the closkmakers can earn from
Sl5 to so per week, and that there is no
eYnnee for their striking.

A woMAN,s TRAGIC pLor,

Mes. wentworth's scheme to Fasten Her
niurder on Her Husband.
Bosroy, August ia mystery OF long
standing was cleared up to-day. Eight
months ago, early one Sunday morning,
Mrs. Mary Wentworth, an attractive young
woman, arose from her bed with bullet
buriedin her breast, and blood flowing
from the wound, and informed the other
occupants of tho tenement that she had
been shot by auuuknown man who had
escaped by the back door. Mrs. Went
worth had not been living on good terms
with herhusband. He YVES the time abb
sent, and tue outer door had been lett open
allnieht on the strength OF the following
note, which Mrs. Wentworth claimed to
have received:
: .sDRAn MARY:-I am coming home to-
night after dark. Don't tell any yboay, but
leave the front door unlocked.
''GEoRdE WENTWORTH"
/ oa the day preceding the firing Of the
mysterious bullet Mrs. Wentworth showed
this missiye to'a neighbor, alter which
she burned It. Before Mrs. Wentworth
was removed 10 the hospital the officers
arrived, and she said that she believed
there were two reyolvers in the house.
One of them was ina trunk in the back
room, and the other, she said, she had
discovered, TO her surprise, q lew days
before in one OF her rubber boots,
"whers her husband must have put i" "
This last wss o large weapon with wbite
handle. The rooms were searched and
the first pistol was found in the trunk,
none OF the barrels had been fred. The
weapon with the white handle had disap-
peared. u.
Suspicion at once fell upon the husband,
| but he sncceeded in establishing an abb.
Mrs. Wentworth recovered, aud, finding
that 1t ives impossible 10 live longer with
her husband, she agteed to separation,
and, some weeks after the shooting affair,
returned to her home in the Provinces,
10 the last she persisted in her declaration
that her story Of the attempted murder
was true in every particular. To-day q
dealer, who had taken the stove from Mrs.
Wentworsh's house, found concealed in
the ashes under the back drsft, the re-
mains of the white-hRndled pistol. This
discovery confirmed the suspicion that the
woman had arranged an elaborate scheme
to shoot herself and secure the punish:
ment OF her husband for Q crime Of
which he was innocent.
