The complainant is the wife of Charles b.

Since last May he has been employed by
Uhry g. Aloth, manufacturing jewelers. of
New York City. For some reason the firm
Henry Aloth, the junior partner, came TO

couple of women to the house and she was
compelled to submit to the indignity of a

Where the Cotton Cornerer Will Find
Himself

lCopnight 1889 by JImcs Gordon B,nn.t1
MANCHESTER, Sept. 90 New York Herald
Cable-Special to The BEE. l-Erergetic
action is being taken by those employed
in the cotton industry to defeat the Liver
pool corner which has succeeded in buying
up the great bulk of the cotton which will be
on the market at the end of September, as
the new crop in any quantity will not be
here until the middle of OCTOBER. The cor
nerer, who is Dutch Jew, will have the
market to himself for three weeks, and If his
move is successful he will be able to run
prices to his own figures. Both employers
and employees have agreed on joint action in
order to defeat the ring. 1--WE. thirds of the
mill owners have decided to run on short
time and the remaining third will be unable
to work at ALL as the operatives of the union
will call out the spinners at all mills where
short time is not run. This will enable the
masters to make their present stock last out
until the new cotton comes into the market,
ana so leave the cornerer with the whole
purchase on his hands.
