THE GRANITE CUTTERS.
Another strike Threatened the Tirst of
tho Month.

BARRR, April 2b.-Much interest is mani
Tested just nov rs to whether or not Barre
is to experience another strike May /, in re-
gard TO which your reporter CLEANS interest
ing facts from leading manufacturers and
ieiable sources
During February the Granite Cutters
union sent to the Manufacturers association
9 revised bill OF prices to take effect May l.
Tho changes from the bill of last year were,
in substance, rise of 10 per cent on bot
tom and second bases, and cutting polished
work, and nearly 30 per cent Oh headstones
and Misunderstanding and ornamental
work TO he done 10y the day, and not by
any special contracts. In snort, no work
was to be done by special agreement be-
tween the manle acturers and employees, and
Il new bill was presented for rock face
work, which has heretofore been done by
special bargain or day work.
The Manufacturer association consider
that the present bill is all that is necessary,
aud that the present condition Of trade will
not warrant an increase in the cost of pro
duction. and refuse to recognize the revised
bill In any way.
The Granite Cutters union have very
recently sent letter to the Manufacturer
association, stating that the old bill of
prices ceases May and, unless the revised
bill is adopted there will be none in force
after that date. They do not say they will
SO out on a strike but that they twill
govern themselves accordingly if their
demands are not granted. The Menufac-
turers' association have called a special
meeting for this evening to take further
action il regard to tho matter.
The general opinion 10 that the cutters
will not go out May !, es the manufacturers
are pretty well prepared for such an event,
but that they may so out later on when
there Is better opportunity. Ii they
should go out the manufacturers may get
up new bill OF prices aud present it to
them, and if any new bill is made, il will
be to terminate January l, and not May
as heretofore, In order that no change may
break into the busy season.
Some dealers complain that work is not
coming In very rapidly just now, and 9th
ers that they are not soliciting very much
until after they see what the outcome of
May | is to be. There seems to be no ndi
cations of trouble from other unions con
nected with thu granite industry.
The larger pert OF the monuments now
being made in this section are to be COM
pleted and in place at their destination on
OF before Memorial day and the indications
now are that trade will be rather dull dur
ing June and July.

THE SAD DROWNING OF A NEW
HAMPSHIRE BOY.
The SaiIboat Was Upset in the Swift
Waters of the Pisoataqua-The Young
Man Sank Exhausted just as Relief Was
at Hand.--Two Others Rescued.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., April 2i.-One of
the saddest drowning accidents that ever
occurred on the Pisoataqua river took place
this morning.
party of four, consisting Of Rose Eos
ter, Ethel GRAY, Oscar Trefsthe and Fred
Burke, all Of this city, started up the river
in sail boat, with the intention of going
for May flowers. In order to poss through
the Portsmouth and Kittery bridge it was
necessary TO remove the mast Of the boat,
but before this could be done the strong cur
rent act the boat against the bridge and all
four occupants were upset into the river.
Young Trefethe caught hold Of Spite OF
the bridge, and succeeded in getting out Of
the water. Tue other three were not so
fortunate, and the swift running tide swept
them through the bridge up tho river.
Burke tried to support both of the girls, but
finding that he could not, he rehnguishetl
his hold on Miss Gray, who, with rare pres
ence OF mind, turned on her back and loat-
ed in the water. Burke still continued to
support his sweetheart, tae Foster girl.
The Foster girl was taken ashore at
kittery, and after being unconscious for
noariy two hours, recovered her senses, but
has been in a very pracarious condition all
day.
The cries for help from Trsfeths caused
two boats to put out from two schooners
lying at the draw pier. One boat reached
the Gray girl, who had f. Dated half a mile
up the river, and picked her up unharmed
The other boat proceeded after Burke and
his companion, but just before the boat
reached them, Burke became exhausted and
sank.
The tide swept the Foster girl away from
the boat, and she was sinking for the third
time when she was seized by the rescuers.
Burke asver came to the surface again.
