RIOT AT FALL RIVER.
Trouble Between Strikers and Work.
men Retained at the Fall River

[h KtlS.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 22-The first sevi-
ous trouble of the Fall River strike occurred to-
night at the Seaconnet mill This mill is the
only one which has made determined attempt
to run with "knobstick" help, and the strikers
there have been the only ones in the city to
gather about the mill to make any disturbance
When the mill shut down tonight the crowd
near the mill gates and along the streets in the
vicinity numbered over thousand. As the
working weaveIs came out they were greeted
with cries of derision in French and English
Finally the "kuobsticks" replied to the taunts
in kind. This was followed by q volley OF
stones from the crowd, one of which struck
"knobstick's" head The man beside him i'm
medlately turned and fired q pistol in he direc-
tion OF the crowd. which promptly scattered and
replied with another volley of stones. The
police seized the man with the pistol in his
hand, and hurried him to the station No one
has been found that was injured by the bullet,
although several were reported injured by
stones. At the station the man arrested gave
his name Lewis Lapointe. The mill overseer
found bail for him in $500. There were 53S
looms running at the mill to-day, with indica-
tions that q greater portion Of the weave rooms
would be running Tomorrow.

Five Thousand People Assemble
Around the Jail but Get Not q Sight
of the Proceedings Within.
AS early as o'clock in the morning knots
of people began to gather in tie vlcinigy of
the jail, and the number steadily incle eased,
The early corners were very curious. They
took look at the grim building from all
sides, gazed at each window In turn,
and would have made an even more
intimate acquaintance with affairs,
but for the Gordon of policer en-.
At IL o'clock at least five thousand people
were crowded into the street The space
from the low wall near the jail, across the
street and up to the doors of the little Luth-
eran church, was densely packed with
human beings, all with their eyes fastened
intently on the narrow grating through
which partial glimpse could be obtained
of the proceedings within. The crowd was
composed mostly OF men OF the laborinC
class. with very liberal leaven of curious
women and a fair sprinkling of infants in
arms As the fatal hour of Ills arrived
the people began to look nervously
at se,sa5 their oossr watches gradually g they
the sire ct and focused their eyes even more
intently on the grated windows Dark forms
could be seen passing to and fro on the scat
fold, and the boys in the tree tops even
claimed TO be able 20 see all the preparaiio ions
for the final act AJ11:l4 the policemen on
the wall and the crowd nearest the Jail
heard the click Of the traps as they tell
simultaneously.
RELUCTANT TO LEAVE.
The crowd dispersed reluctantly The
teams blockading the side street first drove
OF, the boys in the trees dropped nimbly to
the ground and went away whlstling merrily,
and then the main crowd of men and women
began SLOWLY to move off. But motley
throng OF a few hundred of morbidly curious
men remained. They were bound
to get at least glimpse of
the two men, even though dead,
Here they were disappointed, however, for
by clever little ruse the bodies were re-
moved at. the rear door of the Jail and
spirited away to Oonnolly's morguc, where
the final disposition will be made OF their
remains until their shipment to Omaha.
Mrs Barret5 had requested that no one be
allowed to see her dead boys. and her wishes
in the matter were acceded to.

Dry Seed w heat

Every few years some farmer makes the
discovery that old wheat is best for seed.
There is no doubt that wheat seed retains
its vitality under favorable conditions
many years but the reason why years
addition to the age of wheat makes it bet
ter for seed is undoubtedly it's greater
dryness and hardness This is especially
true after a damp summer and harvest
like that just passed. Ifnew wheat must
be sown make il as dry as possible. 1t
may be even advisable, after getting II
dried out rs much as you can otherwise,
to place it thinly for few hours in kiln
at n heat Of not more than 100 deg. The
moro moisture that can be got out Of the
seed with(, IT injuring the vitality, the
more it will swell when placed in the
moist soil, and the growth will be all the
more vigorous If sound old wheat can
be had it ia always safe TO sow that; but
the stock Of good wheat of the crop of
1888 is not good anywhere.

The Food and Care OF Horses.

An interesting paper on the food and
care of working horses was lately read be-
fore the American Street Railway Associa-
ton. at Minneapolis. by Mr. Goo. G. Mil
hern, OF Cleveland, Ohio. In this paper
and in the discussion which followed, con
siderable valuable informs stion was elected
Mixed ground feed in small quantities
. and at short intervals Is now universally
conceded to be the best food The feeder
should always have the same horses under
his care, so as to become acquainted with
the habits and wants of each animal. When
team comes in from 4 trip, a handful
of hay should bs given Whom feeding
time comes, which should never be Just
before or Just AFTER trip. the horse should
have from siI To eight quarts of ground
oats and corn mixed with cut hay and
dampenod. Should be gro0med twice
day. This makes the horse feel and do
better. Mouth and nostrils should be
sponged every trip. Atter the horses have
stopped feeding, the feeder should see that
each feed box is thoroughly cleaned. This
Is very important for the health of the
horse. Iron and wood feed boxes should
be avoided. The best feed box is the
enamel lined box, rs the inside does not
rast and is easily kept olean. IL wooden
