NEWARk'S STRIKE.
Men and Boys fn Clnrk's Thread WorI
 Resist n Reduction in Wages.

Men and Boys in Clnrk.s Thread Works
 Resist n Reduction in Wages.
 NEWARK, N. J., April 1l.-One hundred and twenty men and boys employed in Clark's o. N. T. thread works in East New ark, went on strike yesterday against re- duction of 15 per cent. in wages. Forty of the men are tho spinners employed in tho factory In Kearney, and the others are their helpers, who are known as piecers and creelers. There was no reduction in the pay of the helpers, and they were not obliged to quit, but did so lest they should be compelled to take the spinners' places, new men being found to do the helping.
 MT. Clark says: "The strike will not af- fect operations in the least "All hands will be kept at work, and the mills will run on full time. There is yarn enough on hand to run four weeks, and by that time we will have received all we require from our mills In Paisley, Scotland. The spin ners can stay out 8 year If they like, or they can come back at the reduced wages. They were receiving moro than they should have received in justice to those employed at the Newark mills, and we were simply lev cling them down. In England spinners' wages are $8 per week, while here our mon have been averaging $1926 per week on tho piece plan, and some make $9o and s2l per week."
 The strikers give different version of the matter. They say that in the East Newark, or Kearnoy mills, they have 82o more spindles to care for than the Newark operatives, and can therefore earn more than in the Newark mill, but that the firm now want them to care for the extra looms for nothing. Having given them chance to show that by extra exertions they can do moro work, the firm now want to make this extraordinary exertion the ordinary stand ard of work The men also detail num- Der of grievances, such as time lost in clean ing and dofing machinery, otc. They go to work at 6:8O every morning.
 It Is thought that tho strike will spread throughout the mills, and affect all the 1, ,0OO hands, as all are in sympathy with the strikers and do not want to see them beat on. The trouble Is attributed to tho new Superintendent, Walmsley, g Scotchman, whose ambition seems to be to force wages down to the figures prevailing in Scotland.
 The strikers are orderly. and do not loiter about the mills.

 Ing Trial at Gettysburg.

Continuation of the Famous Barn. Burn-
 Ing Trial at Gettysburg.
 GETTYSBURG, Pa, April 1.-The trial of Levi Herr, for alleged barn burning, was resumed yesterday. Several witnesses were examined to show that Herr told a number of contradictory stories about the burning of his fathers barn and of his whereabouts on that day
 Among them was Q reporter of the Balti- more American, who had an interview with Herr.
 Herr was then placed on the stand. He denied making any contradictory reports in fact had said nothing to anybody about the fire. And if he did, it must have been immediately after the barn was burned when he was greatly excited
 The defense is trying to prove that the detectives who testified against Herr are being paid to convict him.
 The prisoners father swore that his son was honest and truthful, and gave him an excellent character.

A Sad Death.

A dispatch from San Antonio, Texas,
announces the death there of Mrs. Price
Cross under the most heart rending cir.
cumstances. While bathing she was
taken with aparoxysm Of pain occasioned
by chronic affection of the liver, from
which she had suffered for the past year,
and strangled to death. Her husband
was absent at the time travelling through
the interior Of the state, and had no
knowledge of his Wlfes demise until
several days thereafter. The remains
were shipped to Galveston, their former
home, for interment. Mr.. and Mrs. Cross
were visitors here in May last, and made
a trip through Colorado in hopes that the
climatic change would result benehcially
t. Mrs. Cross. She was q young and
beautiful woman, as good as she was
true, and her death is lasting blow to
the young husband to whom she was all
in all. That full sympathy which only
brotherly love can inspire goes out to him
in his sad aftlirtion.
