CAPITAL ORGANIZING,
Not To Resist the Knights o.
Labor, But to Protect it's
Members.
A Huge Organization OF the Several Tex
tile Industries of New England, With
Millions of Capital.

BosToN, April 23.-The Commercial Bul-
letin tomorrow will say: "The sudden
and unexpected collapse of what threat
ened to be serious strike at the Whitten-
ton Mills, Taunton, was caused by the dis
covery that that mill belonged to a huge
organization of textile industries of New
England, which has been formed so quietly
that it has escaped all notice. This organ
zation extends over Rhode Island and
Connecticut and already includes forty
nine large woolen mills. This society was
organized for mutual protection. 1t does
not recognize the authority of the Knights
of Labor in any way, but is prepared
of strikes The organization is growing in
numbers and it proposes to give each
strike careful consideration and to assist
only those manufacturers who are un-
fairly treated by their help. A second
society, embracing all cotton mills Of
any Importance in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts,, was quietly
completed, and elected its officers in Bos-
ton on Wednesday. The Massachusetts,
League is the league of cotton mills to which
woolen mills are to be admitted, while the
Rhode Island society was formed by
woolen mills, and subsequently admitted
cotton manufacturers. During the last
month the cotton mills of this State have
been quietly preparing for organization
for mutual insurance against labor disturb
ances. The cotton manufacturing indus
try is better adapted for the formation Of
such an organization than many others, be-
cause it is composed of a number of large
mills rather than large number of small
ones. The quiet organization which
has taken place, therefore, has been
conducted with much expedition and its
result will probably be witnessed at the
next attempt of the mill hands to secure
the discharge of workmen who are not
members of the union. The society is not
a corporation, and has no stock. The
yearly pay rolls of the Massachusetts, mills
that have already Joined amount to $15,-
100000. The aims Of the society are not
in any sense aggressive, and its purpose is
not to attack the Knights of Labor, but
simply to protect its members against un-
just persecution. The methods Of self-de-
Tense which the society will employ have
not vet been made public"

Skirmish Between Greeks and Turks.

LONDON, April 22.-The first gun of the
Turco-Grecian war has been fred and the
Turks are the aggressors. Last Tuesday
night body of troops, drawn from the
Turkish outposts, attempted to surprise a
force of Greeks who had been engaged dur
ing the previous day in erecting earth
works upon territory alleged to be within
the neutral belt, which neither side has a
right to occupy. The attack was smartly re-
pulsed, and the Turks fed, closely pursued
by the Greeks. In their retreat the Turks
abandoned two field pieces, which fell into
the hands of the pursuers. The Greeks, at
the end of the pursuit, occupied and in
trenched themselves in the positions which
were clearly upon Turkish territory. The
Greek Government has ordered them to
Immediately evacuate these positions and
to return to Greek territory. The disposi-
tion at Athens is to minimize the occur
renee and treat it as an unauthorized af-
fair of outposts, for which no repriSal is to
be ATTEMPTED,

Goes Mad by Proxy.

NEW York, April 25.-A curious case has
been developed at Matteawan, N. j. About
six weeks ago Nellie Smith, of that village,
was bitten by a dog. DR.. A. j. jackson
treated her with apparent success. The girl
has sixteen year-old brother Thomas, who
took her case very much at heart. The
stories about hydrophobia which had been
circulated gave him great deal of anxiety.
On last Thursday night he was taken sud
denly i'll. He became extremely violent re-
quiring two and often three men to hold
him, and barked like dog. No one
knew whether he was bitten by dog or
not. DR.. Jackson says that he hardly
knows what to think about the case. If he
knew that the boy had been bitten by a
dog he should certainly consider it a case
of hydrophobia. AS it is it may be nervous
hysteria brought on by worry about his
sister Nellie The little girl is doing we'll

QUEER SLEEPING PLACE.
An Old Man Dozes Peacefully All Night In
Brook.

WALTHAM, MASS, April 22.-An old man
of sixty named Murphy was brought to the
police station and put to bed in an ex-
hausted condition this morning. He
was found at Z a M. asleep in Beaver
Brook, immersed to the neck in water
and mud three feet deep. He bore every
appearance of having been in the brook all
night, as his clothes, outside and in, were
drenched with water and black with mud,
only one shoulder being dry. When his
boots were drawn off about two quarts Of
muddy water flowed out of them, while
his sto ckings and fannels, once white,
were inky as Hamlet's cloak. Apparently
his mind was confused, and he could give
no explanation of his conduct, or state
where he belonged He was breathing
family at noon under the stimulating eff
feet Of big horns of whisky, but his appear
ance indicated that death would shortly
ensue as a result of his long bath.

HORRIBLE DEATH.
Fatal Mistake of a Boy i'm Tying Rope
Around His Waist.

NoKoMIs, ILL.,, April 25.-On his return
from town last evening Mr.. Jacob Swarey,
living three miles east of here missed some
colts which he had left in the stable, and
upon searching for them found them in a
pasture, and attached to one of them by a
camp, boy about thirteen years old, who
had been left at home. 1t is supposed the
lad had attempted to lead the colt to water
and carelessly tied the rope around his
waist in slip-noose, when the animal, un-
accustomed to being handled, pulled him
down and dragged him until exhausted,
as, although it appeared frightened, it did
not run when approached. The boys body
was badly mangled and nearly cut in two
by the rope, the knot of which was drawn
to only about four-inch moose.
