A Large Gun Factory Compelled to
Shut Down Because 1t Cannot Collect

A Large Gun Factory Compelled to
Shut Down Because 1t Cannot Collect
Hts Money.
Boston, Oct. 17.-On Saturday the South
Boston iron works, the famed gun factory,
suspended operations on account Of an ina
bility to pay its workmen. The shut down
may last two weeks or as many months. A
force of men, nearly two hundred and fifty in
number, all expert iron workers, some of
them the best and most reliable gun con-
structcrs in the country, are thrown ont of
work. The men have received no pay for a
long time and last evening committee from
the Knights of Labor waited upon the son of
President Hunt, who was the only person in
the Office of the company to whom an appeal
could be made, and demanded an explana-
ton. Young Mr. Hunt almost wept as
he explained to the committee that the gov
eminent owed the works $3.50, 600 for 1ifed
guns, carriages and other work performed
and as the appropriations were not forth
coming the resources of the company were
almost exhausted and work would have to
stop. In ccortsance with the decision made
the men were told that they would be mott
fed when required. There was no trouble
about the amount of pay, but simply the
lack of funds The men feel the blow keen
ly, but would prefer to have matters decided
as they are than to continue working with
out certainty of pay. Mr.. Hunt in closing
stated that the shut down would be for two
weeks, but the men are satisfied that there
will not be any work for some time. The
administration comes in for great amount
of severe criticism.
Treasurer Hunt denied tonight that he
had said to the men that the government
owed the firm $3.50, OcO. The amount was
about $75, 900 and the firm owed its men
about Sc, 900.

ed. Bushels CT papers asking for his removal
were fled in the proper department, but Mr..
Hughes retained his position until few days

PH1LADELraIA, Oct. ia Young man
shot himself dead in the saloon 235 South
Twelfth street late last night. In letter
found upon his person he said no one was to
blame for his suicide but himself. He gave
the address 4A3 Westminster street, Provi-
dence, as that Of his father, w. W. Gorhsm,
and asked the press not to make unfavorable
comment on the case as it would grieve his
Christian parents. 8 few minutes after the
shooting an inmate of one o. the houses of
ill-fame in the vicinity entered the saloon
greatly agitated and identified the body rs
that of her husban'. She said she married
him year ago in Baltimore, but left him
because he could not support her. She came
here and became the inmate of a South
Twelfth street house. He followed and ap-
pealed to her to leave the place. 1t was after
a final entreaty, coupled with threat of
suicide if she refused, that he crossed the
street to the saloon and after sitting a few
moments at table raised pistol and fred

THE REFUGE OF DEFAULTERs
Move to Make Canada Unhealthy 70
American RaScals.


OTTAWA, Oct. 1.-THE enormous in
fux of United States forgers, defaulters and
swindlers in Canada within the past month
Or SO has reused the authorities to taking
further action in urging upon the British
government the necessity of arranging an ex-
tradition treaty with the United States which
in its scope will include many of the crimes
and criminals who under the present treaty
are beyond the reach of the law. From what
can be learned the British government throws
the responsibility of the failure to arrange a
new treaty on the United States government.
The question, however, has again been re-
viewed with an assurance that as far as the
home authorities are concerned matters will
be pushed with view TO an early conclusion
being arrived at.

a Sensational stsry About the Aero
naut Cover.
PROVIDENCE, R. L, Oct. 17.-As strange
and startling as was the story of the 6isap-
pearapce of Frederick A. Cover, the tele-
phone il ventor and aeronaut, is the informa-
ton Of his reappearance alive and well in
Bombay, India. Cover, who was news
boy, and subsequently editor of the Press il
this city, left his newspaper desk when the
first public exhibition was given here of the
telephone He contracted with Professor
Bell to deliver lectures throughout the coun-
try, and afterwards took the French capital
ss his field for introducing the telephone
into POP ular use. Soon after reaching Paris
he amassed a fortune. His telephone enter
prise trrived ard he soon became the paten-
tee of several of the most important improve
ments that have helped to make the tele-
phone so valuable an instrument. Having
satisfied his thirst for discovery and inven-
ton in this direction Cover set to work ex-
perimenting with machinery for aerial
navigation. His ideas were found good
in msuy respects, but they did not
differ materially from many others
that had been tried in the Franco-Prussian
wer. Finally, after many ascensions in diff
ferent parts # France, with all of which he
claimed to tie perfectly satisfied, he made ex-
tensive pref a.ations for ascending in mon
ster balloon from Dieppe. All of his appli
ancss for aerial navigation were adjusted.
The ascension took place. The machinery
apparently refused to work Cover had
claimed it would. The wind was out to rea
tt az day, and G.wer had persistently argued
that he could face the wind and that his air
ship could go to windward well as to lee
ward. The French scientists jeered
at this claim. The balloon went out
to sea anG the only vestige of the
big air castle that was ever found was
the basket, which was picked up on the
coast many miles away. Cover was given
up as lost. He had, not long before, mar
ried Mile. Nordica, the prima donna, who,
however, did not live happily with her rich
American husband. Now cones the story
that on Malabar Hill, in Bombay, the van
isheo American is living in good health.
while his brother, George Lewis Cover, is
in France taking care of his interests. Cow
er, it is said, is great friend of a handsome
Indian princess, and is the lion of q very
lively European society circle.
