Boston-The market continues fairly active
though no change is to be noted on prices. Two
or three large mills recently noted as here have
Withdrawn as Urge and active purchasers. The
chief interest has been centeI ed about new
Australia delaine and territory Woods. The
Arlington's big purchases are however, sadly
Used. Stocks of Wool in manufacturers
hands have not been heavy at any tlme They
have pursued hand-to-mouth policy and they
have made it pay. During this u ontn they
seem TO feel that Wool is not likely TO 20 much

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE p1srArcH.,

BEAVER FALLS, April 15.-Captain f.
W. Mansfield is here for the purpose of es-
tablishing arecruiting station for the United
States Army. To a reporter the United
States officer said the Government is de-
termined to establish recruiting stations out
side of the cities, as it is thought better
class of men can be secured in the smaller
towns than is available in the cities. The
Government, he says, is desirous of securing
frst-class grade of men, and instead of en-
listing them for five years the term will be
made three years only.
The men will also be trained to some use
full occupation in addition to their military
tactics, so that at the end of three years the
men will be in better shape and make more
useful citizens than before they enlisted. The
Captain said as it is now the men who enlist for
five years are practically worthless except as
soldiers. In brief, the Government proposes to
establish training school on large scale for
young men. 1t is also the intention TO estab-
lish a station at Butler, Pa. The Captain left
tonight for Pi5tsburg.

told him to come down. MorrIssey picked up
an IpdIan CLUB and started down the stairs

from a doorway. The fellow made a fierce
lunge at Morrissey's heart with a stilerto but
the latter lodged and was only slightly cut A
terrible struggle followed for the possession of
the knife.
Frightened at the determined resistance the
man scrambled to his feet and dashed at the
window. Morrlssey reached him with tho club,
and the man was knocked through the window

was certainly badly hurt, though he managed
TO escape before AorrIssey could dress and fol-
low him. The fellow was heavy and dark and
left behind him a lsng-bladed italian dirk. He
evidently intended murder. No trace OF him
can be found. MOrrissey has no idea as to the
identity of the man, as he says he has no ene-
mics among the foreign element
