the LOOMS WILL HUM
In the Great Mills at Fall River this
Morning.

FALL RIVER, March 27.-The weavers'
strike Is over. and tomorrow morning Il Is
expected that so far as the weavers are con-
cerned every loom in the city win be In oper-
alton. The decision Of the mass meeting
this morning to return to work seems gener-
ally satisfactory, but is a surprise 10 every
body, as the executive committee kept its in
tentions very secret. Up to noon yesterday
the committee were hopeful, but remittances
from out OF town expected In the afternoon
failed to arrive, and there came wholly an
expected rush OF applicants for aid. The
relief fund at noon numbered several hun
dred dollars, but was quickly exhausted.
When the funds were nearly done the execu-
tive officers announced that no more relief
would be granted that day and held secret
meeting; A committee was appointed 20
wait on Rev. John Brown of the Westmin-
ster Presbyterian church and ask his advice
and cooperation. Mr.. Brown c0unselled an
end to the strike. The committee according
ly advised the strikers to return to work un-
der protest and submit the case TO the State
Board Of Arbitration. The mass meeting
was not at first inclined to accept this recon-
mendatioD, but after explanation by Rev.
Mr.. Brown and members Of the executive
committee, 1t voted to return 10 work tomor-
row.
The business men received the news with
satisfaction and the manufacturers were
agreeably surprised. 1t Is generally eonced-
ed that the action Of the executive commit
tee was good and strategic as by giving in
now while they have public sympathy, they
Will be In position to make further move
later. At the beginning Of the strike the
loom fixers OF the Border City mills were
discharged for refusing to run their looms.
Ihis afternoon the weavers at that mill de-
cided to stay out till the loom fxers are tax
en- back.

Lieutenant Thomas w. Lord, late Of the
regular army, who has been appointed chief
Of the assignment division in the patent Of
fee, was an officer Of the Seventeenth Maine
Regiment, and not In the Seventh as stated
by us yesterday. Lieutenant Lords militia
ry record is worthy OF note. He enlisted
when mere boy as private in the Seven
teenth Maine, and was promoted to sergeant
and then to second lieutenant. While hold
ing this position he was severely wounded,
which required amputation Of the lower Dor,
tion OF one leg. He was struck by a she'll.
The following extract from the diary OF
one OF the officers Of the regiment does great
credit to Lieutenant Lord:
Lieutenant Lord was shot In both legs.
AS we went to charge Sunday, he lay at the
edge OIL the woods and raised his sword to
cheer us on. We went past him on the re-
turn from the charge. He still lay there.
put now held up his sword as a signal Of dis
tress: He wished to be carried from the
held before the enemy got upon him. He
was brought in in safety"
After the war he was appointed to the reg
ular army and served in the quartermaster's
department for more than 20 years.
