THE BROCKTON LABOR TROUBLE Indications POIntfn~ To An Early


 indications Pointing To An Early Settlement.
 BRocKToN, Mass. Aug. 4.-The labor trou- ble here is advancing toward solution. Last night the Knights of Labor, who, so far have taken no part in the lockout, adopted 8 resolution declaring that as the manufactur- CTS had broken the rules by inaugurating the lockout those rules were now null and void. The aldermen also passed resolutions provid- ing for general committee of conference composed of representatives from three labor organizations, the manufacturers and the citizens. The movement is approved by all and may be productive of all that is antici- pated. The action of the Knights of Labor council means that they are no longer bound by last winters agreement.
 The Atlantic Mills Very Busy.
 LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug. M.-Agent Bat ties of the Atlantic mills stated this morn ing that the general business outlook of the Atlantic mills had never been better than at present.

A Cashier Who was Foo Kind.

BOSTON, Aug. M-George R. Chapman, for thirteen years cashier of the Merchants' National bank, has resigned and his resigna- tion has been accepted. President Franklin Haven, jr., says that Chapman was too kind and too easy for 8 man in his position, but that the banks accounts are all right. It is rumored that MT. Chapman was mixed up in the speculations which resulted in the fail ure of 0. P. Nudge and that certain brokers are very angry because Chapman loaned Nudge about $2O, ,00O, for which he received memorandum note, and when he failed Chapman took $2O, 900 from Mudge's account and placed in it's stead the memorandum note. The brokers who lost mon4y by Mudge's failure have appointed a committee to wait upon the directors of the Merchants bank to ascertain what action the bank would take to make good their loss es, and it is said the directors are considering proposition to make good some part of the losses. One of the committed says that 80 far as the brokers are concerned MT. Chapman has done nothing to call fol prosecution. Whether the directors would do anything in this direction is a question.

Lawyer Sedgwick still Pursuing His
 Mission.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Minister Jackson has telegraphed the department of State confirming the reported release of Cutting. The release will not affect in the least Mir. Sedgwick's mission. The government does not at present concern itself with any ques- ton of damages due Cutting, but will use the information obtained through MT. Sedg wick in the furtherance of it's negotiations in securing change in the Mexican laws in so far as they are given light to try Ameri- cans for acts committed in the United States. The Arresures- -Mondragon case is still sub ject of correspondence. At present the only grievance of which the government can take official cognizance is that of kidnapping Arresures, who was domiciled on this side of the border. It cannot be expected that Mon dragon will be SUI rendered for trial in the United States, special treaty clause inter vening to warrant the refusal on Mexico's part to surrender one of her citizens for any crime.

| that to-day it is in better condition than s | great many houses and tenements in this l city," Mr. Feldman said he told Miss Foster | that she must make monthly reports to the Board and she promised to do so Sne re- l gretted that she had not made her reports | regularly and said that there would be no ! cause of complaint in this regard hereafter. In closing MT. Feldman said he proposed to visit Miss Fosters place every month regu7 | larly hereafter and there would be no mis- take about it.
 MT. Brown corroborated what had been said by MT. Feldman.
 MT. Treat said he had seen some of the
 members of the Board of Health on the sub
 iect of baby farms and they had told him
 that they thought the Boa1d of Selectmen
 were the proper authority to look after such
 places.
 Dr. Winchell entered the room at this
 time. He said that he called at Miss Eos
 ter's place yesterday by accident. He said
 he had known much of Miss Foster from
 the time she was with the Home for the
 Friendless. He said that Miss Foster at
 present had seven children of her own by adoption; they were children that had been left with her and then had been deserted by those leaving them. The doctor then read from his memorandum and said that he found that in one large sleeping room there were eight single iron bedsteads, one double iron bedstead and two wooden bedsteads. lie fOunQ seven DeOS III ObuoE rOouS al1 sup piled with mattresses, and one good sized lively bedbug. He said in the attic he found plenty of bedding slowed away and in the cellar several tons of coal. The doc tor said that things were not in that order that he had seen them on some other occasions, as Miss Foster had been overhauling and cleaning and had not got set to rights. The doctor said that Miss Foster had made some mis- takes in taking very young children and she had done this out of pure sympathy for these children. He further said that after his visit to Miss Fosters he called on two responsible ladies in Westville, who said that they had visited Miss Fosters house at various times and they believed the children were well cared for and very much regretted that so considered it entirely uncalled for. It is, said the doctor, real home for orphan ehil dren and for children of unnatural parents, and although the compensation re- ceived for their care was some times very meagre, yet they were all we'll cared for. The doctor read letters endorsing Miss Foster from Rev. MT. San ford of New York and Rev. Dr. Vibbert of Fair Haven. Continuing, the doctor said that the public needed just such institutions as that of Miss Fosters. He thought such an attack as had been made on that lady was entirely uncalled for.
 E. B. Beecher was given permission to erect a barbed wire fence in front of his lar permission was granted Lancraft Bro thers in Fair Haven East.
 Bills were approved as follows: New farm, $12; roads and bridges, $4S; almshouse, 0.50; general account, $2.5O; temporary loan $50 375

The Pre.ident,s Luck Yesterday.

PROSPECT HOUSE, Aug. 24.-The Presi- dent, Dr. Ward and their guides went to Hoyle pond this morning, but though it was traditional fsherman's day, the sky being overcast, the Presidents luck seemed to have deserted him and the total result of the mornings spor5 was a three pound salmon and small speckled trout. While the Pres ident was on the jaunt Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom sat among the ladies on the hotel porch and watched game of lawn ten- his in front of the building. The only ex- citing episode of the day was the report that a bear had swan across the lake. The guides who had brought the story in found much food for hilsrity in the recital of how easily the bear got away from some city hunters who were after it.

ANew Haven Pastor iR Ohio.

The Mansfield, Ohio, Herald of Monday last says:
 The auditorium of the Congregational church was flied yesterday morning with the many friends and admirers of Dr. J. E. Twitchell, favorite pastor of the church in former years, who had accepted warm in vitation to occupy the pulpit. He preached an interesting and thoughtful discourse, which struck home to hearts that are trou- bled and weary of life His theme was 'Peace," which he said could only be ob tained through Ii ust in God. The sermon was embellished with appropriate quotations from the poets and hymn writers and with pathetic illustrations. The selected hymns sung by the choir were appropriate to the thoughts contained in the sermon, which was listened to with rapt interest and was con- soling and solemnizing in it's effect. Two new members were admitted into the church on confession of faith. The solo by MT. Charles J. Harris and the duet by the Misses Smith and Carrothers were well rendered. In the evening Dr. Twitchell conducted the service, but the attendance was not so large as in the morning He returns to his charge at New Haven, Conn.,, this week.

THE RERUBLICANs IN OHIO.
Prospects and Indications on the Eve
 Of the Convention.

| FfOBpects ana 1nO1cat1OnS on the Eve Of the Convention.
 COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 24.-The candi- dates and delegates to the Republican State convention have been coming in on every train to-day and things are beginning to put on the usual appearance of an approaching convention. The candidates and their friends are working earnestly but quietly, and there is not as much hustle and excite ment as there generally is. The present Secretary of State, General ]. s. Robinson, seems to have the field pretty much to him self and will probably be rensminated by exclamation, but slight opposition this evening wants to nominate Daniel J. Ryan. The only noticeable contests are for the supreme judgeship and school commissioner. Hon. L. J. Critchfeld of Franklin, County Judge Cox of Hamilton and Judge Marshall J. Williams of Fayette are the candidates and have about an equal showing, with Will Hams possibly little in the lead, with Judge Cox second. The friends of Critchfeld are confident, how ever, and claim he will go into the convention tomorrow with as strong following as any of the candidates. Judge Knowles, of Marietta, is also candi- date, but as yet has exhibited but little strength. Hon. w. S. Matthews, U. H. Hester and Orange Fraser are candidates for the clerkship of the Supreme court. Mat thews and Fraser are about even. The can- didates for school commissioner, of whom Professor Eli Tappan, Elijah Burgess, Jay P. Treat and E. s. Cox are in the field, em- body more interest than is usually centered in this portion of the ticket. Professor Treat, of Geneva, has an assured lead and is named as the winner, but in spite of this Professor Burgess and his friends are very active and are building up good vote. The other candidates, while not prominent, are hopeful and will cling to the last. William Hahne, of Richland, is the most prominent candidate for the board ot public works. The delegates from Hamilton county are considerably torn up over the ed- itorials in the Commercial Gazette cautioning the convention not to have any thing to do with that delegation as they were set of buns and ringsters. A prominent delegate said tonight that it was wholly un- true and done through malice; that the Com mercial made the statement because it did
 not like two of the delegates, Alexander Sands and T. c. Campbell. He said the del- egation was composed of the best men ever sent to convention. There will be 732 votes in the convention.
