RocKLAND, May 12.--The Courier Gazette
has the following:
Business in the neight oring town of War
rem is at standStill in consequence of shut
down in the shoeshop, pending the final fix
ing and acceptance OF scale OF wages and
strike that took place in the woolen mill on
Thursday, the result of a failure of the local
assembly of Knights of Labor and ThoS
Walker, superintendent of the Georges River
Mill, to agree upon matters pertaining to re-
duction i'll working hours and Increase of
pay of the mill operatives The hands all
went out on Thursday with the exception of
a few. Everything is quiet and orderly, but
it is impossible to onjecture when work may
be resumed. Previous to the strike Supt.
Walker had made all arrangements for va
cation trip to his old home in Scotland. To-
day CTuesday) he started on the trip, leaving
a letter of instructions with the oyerseers of
the mill. The substance of the letter is
When sufficient number of help can be OBJ
tanned to enable you to start up not less than one
half OF the machinery in each department of the
mill at one time you will do so and the mill must
be run as it always has before, without any dicta-
ton on the part of those employed, or others.
The mill shall now be run on the 10 hour sys-
TEN, stopping at noon on Saturdays. All help in
the mill shall be paid the same for 10 hours as
for IL hours. To the weavers' price list shall be
added 10 per cent. AS to the twoweekly system
of payments, this shall be adopted on my return
home. On the 10 hour system no time is allowed
to wash up.
OF the 1CO hands employed in the mill RS4
have gone out. The chief point of disagree
ment appeared to be the refusal of Supt.
Walker to recognize the Knights of Labor.
We understand that the terms prese nted in
the above letter are the only ones he will
make, and that themill will not start up un-
less they are acceded to. The town is very
quiet, the strikers conducting themselves in
a creditable and orderly manner.

HELD TO COURT.
ALEXANDER GARDENER BOUND OVER BY
U. s. COMMISSIONER FORBES.
The Testimony Shows That the Prisoner Was InStru-
mental in Procuring Pree An 0ppOr-
tunity 10 Vote.

The examination of Alexander Gardener,
charged with aiding in the fraudulent vot-
ing at the Second Ward polls at the recent
election was held before United States
Commissioner Forbes, yesterday afternoon,
and resulted in the prisoner being held in
500 bonds for his appearance before the
next Federal Grand Jury. About a
dozen witnesses were examined, and the
testimony adduced showed that Gardener
was very desirous of obtaining a vote for
the colored boy Price, taking the latter
ND into the hall twice, and urging the
Judges and others to let the vote be
recorded. Gardener, when questioned a
to the part he took in the work about the
polls, denied that he did anything crooked,
and said he only took Price to the voting
place once, but the preponderance OF evil
dence was against the prisoner.
Several witnesses said that there was
an unusual amount of disorder IN the
Market Hall during the day, and one Of
the Judges said he had to send out for al
officer at one time to enforce some degree
of order. Much of the disturbance was
caused by Gardener and some other colored
men.
The Commissioner, at the conclusion OF
the evidence, told Gardener he would be
compelled to hold him for the grand jury,
and fixed his bail at 5000, giving the pris,
oner until to-day to find a bondsman.
Gardener said he thought he would be I'M,
able to find bail, but said he would do the
best he could to secure his freedom.
This makes the third prisoner held fol
Court by Commissioner Forbes.

Tomorrow afternoon the stockholders of

in the Court House, to select thirteen Di-
rectOrs to serve for the ensuing term, and
to transact such other business rs may
come up. The meeting will he n very in
teresting one, as it will devolve upon the
Board OF Directors so chosen to select a
successor for Secretary George Hook, who
has expressed his intention to 10 longer
serve in the office he has SO ably and sue
c~esslully filled since the inception
of the organization. There are un,
derstoOd to be two candidates for the
office thus vacated, one being Mr.. p. l..
Kimberly, while the other is said to he Mr.,
G. Ed. Mendel. Either of the gentlemen
would fill the office very successfully. The
determination of Mr.. Hook not to bea can
| didate for reelection will be heard with
regret by all who know the history of the
Fair Association. The gentleman has been
indefatigable in in his eNertiOns to secure
the success of the Association, and the
present satisfactory condition OF the prop
