rheumatism while attempting TO put out
fire that occurred on his place.
Since then he had suffered great agony.
SATURDAY. night he was sitting in an IN.
yalids chair and as a servant who had
been attending to his wants turned heI
back, he reached over TO the drawer OF 9
sewing-machine, took from it pistol, and
shot himself through the head, the ball
entering near the right temple.

FALL, RIVER, Mass, April 27.--lt is re-

tail production by o general shutdown.
The depression in the cloth market has
increased. and the quotations at which
spot goods were disposed of last week
are the lowest ever known, and under
the most favorable conditions there IL no
money IN prints for the great majority OF
the sixty-hye mills. corporations have
passed their quarterly dividends within
the past two or three weeks and many OF
the dividends which have been paid were
taken from surplus earnings off year or two
ago. Most manufacturers believe that slmul-
taneous and continued suspension until the
surplus stock can be wiped out is the only
remedy for the present condition OF things
and the leaders of labor are quoted as
fayoring curtailment rather than reduction
in wages. One OF two very prominent
manufacturers are known 10 be opposed TO
shutdown or cut-down at this time pre-
ferring 10 run their mills independently as
long as they can. They are those who
have secured favorable contracts. If

confident the few obstructionlsts can be
prevailed upon to enter another curtall-

discussed quietly and q meeting OF cotton
