End of the Manchester, N. n. strike.

MANCHESTER, n. H., March A. The strike
of the weavers in the Amoskeag mills. which
was inaugurated Feb. 18th, collapsed this af-
ternoon, the weavers voting almost solidly
to return to work at $50 tomorrow morning,
as the result of the advice of John Howes,
District Mastor Workman of District No. 80,
Knights of Labor, Boston. He assured
them, after holding a two hours interview
with Agent Straw, that he felt their wages
would be made satisfactory if it was demon
more. He told them further, that so far as
the Knights of Labor are concerned, they
had no authority in the matter, and said the
right line of action for them to follow was to
return to work. This result gives great sat-
isfaction throughout the community, and
Agent Straw, whose course is commended
through this matter, is particularly well
pleased

DIGHVON. LANE COUNTY.

VIM. Barnard returned a day or two ago
from Lane county, where he has been in
connection with business of the Dighton
Town company, OF which he is secretary.
His report of Lane county is very fsttering,
and Of Dighton is still more so. He states
that forty two-story business houses will be
erected there at an early date, and that the
sale of lots to actual residents is unexpect-
eddy large, and the company is forced to
deny sales to the mere speculative demands.
A mammoth hotel will soon be built there
which is intended to be second to no other
hotel outside Of Wichita, and when it is
built grand excursion will be given 10 the
people of Wichita, who msy wish TO visit
that place. The company is offering many
inducements to locaters in its flourishing
city.
Lane county, Mr.. Barnard reports, has
not suffered by losses of human life, the set
tiers having been well provided and pre-
pared for the storm. Neither has stock SUI
fered to any considerable extent in that
county, and all around the booming city of
Dighton the utmost enthusiasm is felt to-
ward the prospects of that city, and the
prospects oft becoming the city of Lane

WICHITA A cHuRcH-GoING CITY.


Il is doubtful if there is another city in
the west that can boast of being ahead OF
Wichita in the number church attendance
or fine church edifces, according to the
number of people. Notwithstanding the
fact that Sunday was cold and disagreeable
and for the most part light snow falling,
the attendance at the NJ. Z. Sunday school
was AL. The attendance at the other
Sunday schools, half dozen in number,
was equally as large. The churches were
mostly all well attended, and travelling
man at one Of the leading hotels Of the city,
made the statement that Wichita and Kansas
in general beat the world in church attend
ance, and that he was agreeably surprised
to see 60 many people at the churches. 1t
was frequently remarked by Major White
and his associate that the attendance at his
meetings were unusually large, and that tn
interests manifested here in religion was a
subject of congratulation.
