LABOR DAY MATTERS.
Four Locals Claim the Biggest Turnout
of Members.

There was another meeting of the en-
tertainment committee of the Labor
Day celebration at Trades Assembly
Hail yesterday. The committee has
been busy the past week pay
ing the various bills contract
ed, and the creditors are get
ting hundred cents on the dollar. At
the meeting yesterday it was learned
that there are four locals cOntesting for
the prize for having turned out the
largest percentage Of members on Labor
Day. Three of these locals are the
WarehouSeman's Union, Iron Work
ers' of the Top Mil, and the
Stove Filters. In figuring
on the percentage Of attendance the
committee takes into account those who
are unavoidably prevented from attend
ing by reason OF sickness, and those
who are known to be confined to the
house, and who would attend II well,
are counted as present. This plan met
with no disiavor, however, as the mem
bers who are sick were personally
known TO the committee, and only one
or two from local were incapacitated.
A final report as to the winner among
these four locals will be made AT the
regular meeting Of the Trades Assem-
bly, next Sunday afternoon.
The awarding of the prize to the win
ner of the iremen's race on Labor Day
Is still pending. The matter has been
referred TO Conference Board OF the
Northeastern Fireman's Association OF
Ohio. Just how soon this will be set
lar meeting Of the Association will not
be held until May of 90, but special
meeting could probably be held earlier
TO consider this matter exclusively, and
in this event, the expense OF the session
would have to be borne by the Trades
Assembly.

BLAINE WILL ACCEPT.
The Word Comes from His Own
Lips.
WASHBURN'S INTERVIEW.
He VIII Not Decline IL His Health Con-
tinues AS Good as IL is Now.

BosToN, Dec. 26.-The Advertiser pub
fishes to-day the statement Of it's Wash
ington correspondent that Senator Wash
burn of Minnesota, the Republican leader
Of the Northwest, has been assured by
Blaine himself that he will not decline a
nomination.
There is to be no formal announcement
from the secretary, says Washburn, that
he is a candidate for the nomination, for
which the Democrats are crying, for Mr.:
Blaine Is not in any sense a candidate"
lie feels that he has no real claim upon
the nomination next year, that he has
been the party candidate once and can
ask for no more honors in that
line. But If the party extends
To him an unanimous call. he
will accept il. President Harrison knows
what Mr.. Blaine's views are upon the mat
ter, and there is no clash or conflict be-
tween them. Circumstances and condi-
tions may arise between now and the
time of the convention that will induce
the Secretary TO change his present
views. and in that case, of course, the
nomination would be rendered with the
same unanimity to President Harrison.
There will be but one name presented TO
the convention for President. Upon that
point the President and Mr.. Blaine are
agreed and decided.

The ATTACHMENT VOID.
Decision Of the Supreme Court in
the Oriental Mills Case.
THE ASSIGNMENT is VALID.
In the Opinion of the Court samuel
Attachments Came too Late to Stick.

The complications in the Oriental mills
case are virtually settled, SO far as the as
signments and attachments are con-
cerned, the Supreme Court having decided
that the assignment was valid.
In June, $780, the Oriental mills assigned
20 Samuel Ames for the benefit of the
company's creditors. There was no oppo-
stion on the part of the creditors at the
time, but eight months later attachments,
aggregating about Sl50000, were placed on
the Oriental mills, at the instance of the
company's large creditors, who questioned
the validity of the assignment To Samuel
Ames. The Supreme Court was asked to
settle the question ana the case was
brought there under the title of the Ameri-
can National Bank against the National
Bank of North America. The matter was
virtually settled to-day, when the follow
ing rescript was handed down by Chief
Justice Matterson
'The court is of the opinion that the as
signment by the Oriental mills TO Samuel
Ames of June o, 1880. is valid That the
subsequent attachm Hnts of the assigned
property were invalid, and hence that the
petition should be denied and dismissed. 7"

Everson d Lddle.
In the commissioner of public works
office are twenty-siX bottles, each contain
ing n sample of water taken from the
PawtuXet river from which the city
gets its supply. Some OF them
have the most beautifully colored
fluid in them, made so by dye
stuffs emptied into the river. Then there
are others as black as ink and some OF
hideous yellow, caused by wool-washings.
There Is almost every color and no end of
dirt. These colorings come from the
factories at Clyde Coventry Centre, Cen
treville, Spring Lake, and elsewhere. The
samples were taken from near eight mills.
Efforts will be made at once to have the
emptying OF such stuff into the river
stopped, even IL more law is needed
There are also many outhouses on the
banks, all Of which arc down on a map i'm

Supreme Court Decisions.

The following rescripts were handed
down by the Supreme Court to-day:
Petition of the Pawcatuck National
Bank for the Appointment of n receiver :
The court Is of the opinion that the mo-
tion to amend the petition by adding the
Washington County National Bank
as petitioner comes too late. The
purpose of joining an additional
creditor in the petition Is TO make sure
that the amount of the insolvent's indebt-
edness held by the petitioning creditors
shall equal or exceed one-fifth of his total
indebtedness which amount is required TO
maintain the petition. The sixty days
within which attachments could be
vacated elapsed prior TO the max
ing of the motion. With the lapse
of sixty days the rights of the attaching
creditors TO retain their attachments be-
came secure against all the creditors ex-
cept the petitioner The right to proceed,
therefore, so far as it is dependent upon
lhe amount of the insolvent's Indebtedness
required To sustain il is concerned, must
be determined upon the petition as it
stands

stated TO a NEWS reporter, Christmas Eve,

Weybosset street carried a rocking horse,
while around his neck was suspended a
doll carriage.
Under his other arm was miscellane-

his bundles and as he laboriously
made his way along the slippery sidewalk
more than one passer-by hugged the wall
to escape the sweep of the horse.
