The Fall River Strike.

FALL RIVER, Mass, March 2s.-There were only about 5000 looms running in this city yesterday-a slight gain over the day before. The manufacturers chief reliance is upon the fact that whoever finishes the cloth that was left on the looms by the strik- CTS will get pay for the whole cut This of course makes it to the interest of the weavers to get their old places back when the strike is over, and keeps them in an unsettled condi- tion of mind. There is no sign of a break ill the ranks yet, however.
 The first disturbance in connection with the strike occurred last night while the ''knobsticks," who took the places of striking weavers at the Seaconnet null, were going from work They were jeered and stoned by q crowd of strikers, and one 'knobstick, y who was hit by stone, fired a pistol shot, but so far as known the bullet did not hit any one. Several persons were hit by stone

 His Career as a Soltlisr and Lawyer.
 The Supreme Court Adjourns.
 WASHINGTON March 23-Assocate Jus tice Stanley Matthews, of the United States supreme court, died at 10:05 o'clock yes terday morning.
 The last change in the condition of Justice Mat -hews occurred Thursday afternoon at o'clock. In the morning he had been feeling quite comfortable and cheerful. At that hour, however, the intense pain which marked the periods of decline recurred and never left hlm until death brought relief. Dr. William w. Johnson was summoned, and finding his patient suffering so intensely, ad- ministered opiates, which toward morning in- 1uced a state of semi unconsciousness, in which he remained until the end.
 Occasionally he would partially revive and recognize the loved ones near him by q glance or pressure of the hand, but relapse soon followed. In his last hours the dying justice was surrounded by the members of his family, who have been with him throughout his ill- ness.
 Stanley Matthews was born in Cincinnati, July 2l, 1894. He was graduated at Kenyon college ill 1S40, and began the practice of law a few years later in Maury county, Tenn. He returned to Cincinnati soon after and became engag d in anti slavery movements, being in 1S49 assistant editor of The Cincinnati Herald, the first daily anti-slavery newspaper in tuat city. He became judge of the court of common pleas of Hanover county ill 1851, was state senator in 1855, and ill 1S5S-1S6 taI YI,or., district of Ohio.
 In March, 1S61, he was commissioned lieu tenant colonel or tfs, Twenty third Ohio regi- ment, and served ill West Virginia, partici- pating ill the battles of Rich Mountain and Carnifexs Ferry. In October of the same year he became colonel of the Fifty-seventh Ohio regiment, and ln that capacity com manded a brigade ill the Army of the Cum berland, and was engaged at Dobbs Ferry, Murfeesborough, Chickamauga and Lookout Mountain. He resigned from the army in 1865 to become judge of the superior court of Cincinnati, and was presidential elector on the Lincoln and Johnson ticket ill 1864 and on the Grant and Colfax ticket ill 1868
 In 1864 he was delegate from the presby- tery of Cincinnati to the general assembly of the Presby terian church ill Newark, N. J., and as one of the committee on bills and over lures reported the resolutions that were adopted by the assembly on the subject of slavery.
 He was defeated as Republican candidate for congress in 1868, and ill the next year was one of the counsel before the electoral com mission. In March he was elected United States senator ill place of Hon. John Sher- man, who resigned, and ill 1881 he was ap pointed an associate justice of the United States supreme court

 Standard Tagging Factory.
 ST. LOUIS, March 23.-Fre started at o'clock yesterday afternoon in the Standard Bagging factory, on Stoddard avenue, near Twelfth street. Owing to the inhaniniabls nature of the building and contents the flames spread rapidly and caused the widest panic among the POO employees, most ot whom were gris. A rush was made for the narrow stairway, but before half the number could escape they found themselves cut of by heat and smoke.
 Wi h the aid of the few men employed in the building the panic strickeEs girl- sue ceeded in making their way through the smoke and flames to place where they could drop out to some low adj lning build ings ami all were thus saved and uninjured, with the excepti, n of Ada Lebrecht, who was found horribly burned. Charles Gufran, who worked heroicaily in getting the girls out of the burning building, remained too long and was compeiiei to jump from a third story window. He was terribly in jured, but will not die. A man who was run over by a fire engine was taken away by friends before his name could be learned.

TESTING VINEGAR.
DR.. Metcalf Gives an Object Lesson Of the
Means Used in Detecting AdulteratiOn.

The back room of the State Board Of
Health Office just now presents very much
the appearance Of chemists laboratory,
and, indeed. such it is for the present. The
tables and window-sill are covered with
labeled bottles filled with samples OF vim
egars procured from all parts of the State.
to be tested by DR.. Metcalf, in accordance
with the law passed by the last Legislature
regulating the vinegar standard. The Doc
tor said that he was progressing satisfac-
torily with the tests. "You see about what
l have to do there" he remarked. land that
is only part of 1t. Some rather startling
disclosures are being made In the examina-
ton, l assure you"
"How do you 90 about this business of
finding out whether the vinegar is all
right" asked the reporter.
the sample to see how much acetic acid it
contains; and that is done by means of BIZ
chlorate of potash" Reaching over to the
wiDdow-sill and taking from it one of the
liquid it contained into a small glass vessel.
Then taking up bottle of the potash, he
resumed. Nov I'll put in some of this
and we will see if it efervesces.
In all probability it will, but this is not the
point of the test. The thing to be noted is
cence has ceased. The color should become
that of red claret wine if the vinegar IS
good" The Doctor made the combination
of the two materials, and then, after the
bubblipg and foaming had ceased, held up
the vessel to see the result of the expert
ment. What do You think of that, know
ing now what the color ought to bep he
asked. as he pointed to the liquid. which
had not changed shade from its original
hue.
:; well Veil, it doesn't look much like vinegar
mo, sir; by no means is it good, and
that's the way lots of it proves TO be. Now
we test the amount of acetic acid by allow
ing the effervescence to take place in yes
sci where its pressure can be measured:
hundredths on the scale have-not more
than that. But sometimes it runs away
up to tfty-fve or sixty, and that
gives the whole business away at once g.
OF course, in spirit vinegar the per cent.
is large. Another test to see if .sulphuric
acid is present is to use barrie chloride. If
there is any sulphuric acid present the
vinegar will be left clouded. Some of the
samples are as clear as crystal, while 9th
ers have the dark tint SO well known in
cider vinegar. Now, here is one that. in
taste and tint seems faultless. but
it is certainly not pure. This law is already
having its good effects. In three months
the quality of the vinegar has changed a
good deal for the better. That long ago
some miserable stuff was inflicted upon the
public. but now the knowledge that tests are
to be made is causing manufacturers to be
more careful of their products. The law
will prove a good thing if the local dealers
will only enforce it by requiring from pro-
ducers certificates that their vinegar is up
to the stand ard before they buy. Of course
the sulphuric acid adulteration does not
affect the stomach. Immediately, but it will
tell on the system in the long run"

WORK ON THE STREETS.


Regarding the recent attacks made upon
the street commissioners department, Mr..
DeRuiter said to journal reporter, yester-
day: II did not intend to take hand in
this dispute at all until Robert Kenning-
ton, the contractor. said what he did. If
he had been more attentive to his own
work our department would be in better
shape to-day. He was given a contract,
for example, on South Meridian street.
Well, do you know, that after he pre-
tended to do that work we had to
put in several hundred ar-loads of gravel
only this yearf 1t is fact. The work he
did was SO worthless that within a short
time after it was completed my predecessor
had to repair il by putting load after load
of gravel on it. What L did was the Sec
ond time the work had TO be done. The
people of the city can't appreciate the
amount of work that we have to do in our
here that the majority of the citizens know
nothing OF, and yet we are repairing them
all, putting in walks, culverts, and making
such improvements all the time"
What lave you to say about the show
ing of work that has been done in repair
ing the streetsf" he was asked.
We'll. 1T has been charged that when
we have removed the dirt on the streets

everything is in good order. the streets are
