Weaver of Monmouth. lad IA years of age,
was bound over to await the action of the
grand jury at the September term of court by
Trial Justice Wood, on charge of assault
with intent to commit rape on young girl
of Monmouth, aged 13 years, Friday. The
capture of Charles Robbins, the man who
took Mr. Jenness' team several weeks since,
has brought to light an outrageous offence
committed by him while in possession of the
team. IL appears that Robbins got to Can
ada and persuaded a young girl l6 years of
age to go with him, representing to the girls
father that he was married man and living
Just over the line in New Hampshire, and
that his wife was rich and he wanted her to
do house work; that his wife could talk
French, the girl being unable to speak Eng
lish. He went away with the girl and fouly
outraged her again and again, and did not
permit her to leave the carriage for two days
and one night. The horse had been starved
AM badly beaten. He barely escaped lynch
ing at Freburg, where he was captured. Rob

A COMBINATION
Oi AL the Oil Cloth Manufacturers in
the United States - An Increase OF
Prices OF Goods.

BOsroN, June I.
The Commercial Bulletin of tomorrow will
give particulars of the combination of all Of
the oil cloth manufactures of the United
States. The Bulletin states that the organi-
zation has taken place so quietly its sudden
appearance is q genuine surprise. Its per-
manence seems to be well guaranteed. The
treasurer already has a fund of over S2O, 900
which will be forfeited in case of treason and
every possible precsution has been taken TO
ensure permanency. The past two years
one or two manufacturers have remained
outside the combination and cut prices %
that goods in many'ca have been sold at a
loss and III NO case at profit There are
but six manufacturers in the United States,
scattered through New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, so an un 1erstanding was
quietly and quickly obtuined. The new COM
bination is called the Table and Stair Oil
Cloth Association, with its office in New
York. These factories produce about mil
lion pieces OF goods yearly. Each mill is
allowed to sell q certain proportion of the
product according to capacity. For every
yard in excess of its allowance it paws a fine
and for every yard less than its allowance it
receives bonus. The company has also is
sued price list The excess Of the advance
may be judged bv the fact that goods that are
to be sold BY agents at So S5 a piece have
been jobbing freely at S2.l23, g. 10 and

tons commissioner visits every jobber and

company allows HIM fair profit in the

BLAINE AND SALISBURY.
Lord salisbury SEVERELY Cnticises Mr.
Blaine for His Portland Speech-Com.
ments of the Press.
LONDON, June 4

LONDON, June 4.
Lord Salisbury in the House of Lords this
afternoon severely criticised Mr.. Blaine for
his Portland speech, and John Morley, chief
secretary for Ireland, because of his attack
on some utterances attributed to the MARQUIS
which Blaine denounced. Lord Salisbury
said that he must denounce the language used
by Mr. Blaine who is canvassing for the ex.
alted position Of presidency of the United
States. He complained that Blaine mis-
quoted MIN in reference to his utterances re-
specting Irish emigration, and added sit
used to be admitted the truth that assisting
people to emigrste from a country where
employment is scarce and wages low, to an.
other country where they can improve their
condition, was doing benifcent act. There
was nothing in my suggestion approaching
an insult to the Irish people. l don't mind
Mr.. Blaine abusing me if that will improve
his prospects, but do hope that in the future
he will quote me correctly" Referring to
that portion of Morley's speech last evening
in the House of Commons, he denied that he
ever advocated twenty years coercion for Ire
land. The Earl of Kimberly, colonial Sec
retary, replied that he thought the language
used by the Marquis was justly capable of
the construction put upon it by both Blaine
and Morley.
The Pail Mall Gazette, in commenting on
blaiue's correction of the report of his Port
land speech, says: ut is quite in accordance
with Blaine's character to hurl insults and
then retract them. Blaine is public man
whose support is almost a discredt. He is
now posing to gain the next nomination of
the republican party to the presidency. Ii
he succeeds, it is pretty safe to say that
America will repeat the rebuff she gave him
two years ago.

GladstOne's Reply to Henry Bolton.

LONDON, June 4.
Gladstone. replying to letter from Thomas
Henry Bolton, liberal member for North St.
Pancras, writes as follows:
II hold it to be indisputable, indeed ele-
mentary, that voting of the second reading of
the home rule bill atfirms only the principle
of the establishment of an Irish legislative
body to transact business concerning purely
the Irish, as distinct from imperial affairs.
The government consider and hold them
selves free to accept any proposals which
may be submitted to them previous to the
autumn session consistent with the FIVE main
conditions which they consider essential to
solution of the question, including Irish
representatives to Westminster, to take part
in discussion and settlement of imperial bust
ness. The government are rot only at liber-
ty. but they are in duty bound to consider
any such amendments"
This statement, it was thought in the lob
bies of the House of Commons tonight, would
cause number of waverers to decide to vote
for the bill. and possibly secure its second
reading.

MILWAUKEE, June 4.
In the impeachment trial of Alderman
Rudzinsk. Thursday, Joseph Mchaelski,
employt at the Bay View Rolling Mills, tes-
led that he was out of work during the riot
days and was present when Alderman Rud-
zinski made a speech calling upon the assem-
bly, to proceed to Bay Vi,w, should they find
obstacles IN their wav or in case of resistance,
Rudzinski said that they would know best
what to do, adding that if they ever obtained
their point they must do so then.
Rudzinski insisted upon the crowd carry
ing a flag. He said it would look better.
These events occurred after the Kosciosko
guard had fred in the air at Bay View. The
witness said the mob would never have gone
to Bay View had it not been for Rudzinski.
An unsuccessful attempt was made by Eb-
bits, attorney for Rudzinski, to show that
Michaelski as we'll as other witnesses had
been hired by Capt. Berchardt to give the

land, and the Farmers and Mechanics Trust
Co of Burlington.
Bowman was arrested in Chicago, January
20th, last, at the instance of the Western
Bankers Association, charged with passing
forged draft of the Floyd County Savings
bank, Charles City, Iowa. Owing to lack of
proof the case was withdrawn, and he was
held so he could be taken to Vermont, where
forgery charges against him are easy of
proof
Bowman, in the fall of 1877, with VIM Fl.
Lyman, committed forgery upon the Ameri.
can Express Co. at Catskill, N. Y. For this
they were arrested, convicted and sentenced
to four and half years each in Clinton
prison. At the end of their term they at
once went to work again and in less than two
weeks had realized on forged papers, $40 900.
They committed forgeries upon the Ameri-
can Express Co. at Fitcbburg, Mass, the
United National Bank at Troy and various
Vermont banks. Lyman and Bowman were
arrested by Robert A. Pinkerton, at Hudson,
N. Y. Bowman was identified AS the man
who committed the forgery on the United
National Bank at Troy. Lyman was identi-
fed as the man who committed the forgery
on the American Express Co. at Fitchburg.
The Troy authorities claimed the men. Both
pleaded guilty to the forgery on the Troy
banks. Bowman always asserted that he was
innocent of this charge, but pleaded guilty to
keep from being taken to Vermont Lyman
and Bowman were each sentenced to four and
one-half years in Clinton prison. Lyman
died there on Nov. IL, 1888. Bowman was
discharged Dec. 80, 1884, and after visiting
his home in Ohio, returned to this city and at
once connected himself with the George
Wilkes and Joe Elliott gang of forgers. He
was successful in operating on banks. princ-
pally west of the Mississippi river. He was
