Died From an Overdose OF Oil of
Tansy.

DOVER, N. H., July 11.--Inyestigation of
the death of Lulu Smith, who died from. an
overdose of oil of tansy yesterday after
noon. reveals the fact that she and her nus
band have been travelling about the country
under false names with the object Of de-
frauding storekeepers and landlords. When
CITY Marshal Fogerty examined the dead
woman's husband lastnight he said his name
was George Smith, that he was born in Low
ell and was married in Haverhillfour months
since to Lulu Butler of Lowell. He denied
positively that he purchased or knew there
was anv oil of tansy in the house. This
morning the Marshal found q marriage GER
tifcate in Smiths room, which he .acknowi-
edged was his. The certificate certified that
George A. Tucker and Ida nj. Nutting were
married by Rev. Henry e. Barnes, pastor OF
Centre church, Hagerhill, April goth, last.
The BRIDES parents were John B. and Anne
liza Nutting Of Groton, Mass. Smith was
completely non pulsed and finally admitted
he called himself George Smith and his wife
Lulu Smith, so that his wife could beat
storekeepers and get dresses. He now adj
mits buying the oil of tansy at a drug store,
but he did not know what his wife wanted it
for. nor did not know she used it until in
formed she was dead. AS it is impossible
at present to show he administered the drug
to her. the Cirty Marshal decided not to
place him under arrest

A Strike at Providence.

PROVIDENCE, July 1O:-The weavers in
the Natick cotton mills, about 175 in number,
are out on strike, and 1000 looms are now
idle. The operatives state that they are dis
satisfied with the rate of wages on the twill
goods, for the manufacture Of which the ma
chinery is being changed They have been
paid Al cents per cut or 80 yards on 90 pick
sheeting. They said that 80 yards
have been increased more in length since the
terms as made at the time Of the strike last
February was settled by compromise:
About four weeks ago the work was changed
from the heavy sheeting to twill goods ea+ q 80
q -e2yard cut. They claim that they are UNI
able to weave more than four-fifths as many man,
the sheeting. Those who earned S2S in four
weeks on sheeting were unable to ear earn more 9n
than four-ffths as much on the twill goods,
and Wednesday, which was payday. the 40
weavers who were on that kind of work
struck. Thursday, the rest Of the weavers
rious prices, struck. They expected that the
change in the work on their looms would
soon be made, and therefore joined in the
strike.

A Question Of Principle, Not Pay.

WHITMAN, Mass, July 10.-Ever since the
price-list has been posted in the various shoe
shops in this place many of the lasters have
claimed that it interfered with their work
and with the prices paid them. This list
was posted by the Knights of Labor, and
has not been indorsed by the lasters' Protec-
tive Union except by taclt understanding
and implied assent by working under it:
Very naturally there has arisen sort OF
jealousy between the members of the Last
ers' Union and the Knights of Labor be-
cause of this difference of opinion. The
feeling has been divided among the lasters as
to which they should owe allegiance, the
Union or the K. of l.. assembly. Several OF
The lasters are members of both the Union
and the knights of Labor, and if there
should be difference of opinion between
these two branches of trade the industry
would suffer.
A feeling has been manifested Of late
among several of the lasters that the list un-
der which they were working did not allow
them as much as lasters in other places were
being paid for this grade of work, aud this
morning the lasters employed at Langley d
Smiths, on Whitman avenue left work.
There were ten employed there, but the
principle of the strike will necessltate all
the diplomacy of the executive board of the
knights of Labor to adjust the matter, for it
becomes question of the Knights of Labor
and the Lasters' Protective Union, should
the latter recognize the strike, as the ques-
tion involved lis not SO much one OF pay as
one of principle.
