are suspected of being in hiding in
them. Special trains did not go to Jel-

FAIL RIVER COTTON INTERESTS.
A More Successful Year Than Last With
the Mills.

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 22.-Publish
ed returns from the mills here for the
past quarter, show that they are now en-
j0ying the most prosperous season ever
known in cotton manufacturing in Fall
River. Ihirty-one corporations, repre-
senting forty-six mills, have paid dlvi-
dends of 1888, $50 Oh d capital Of
SlS, 123, 000 The total dividends paid
for the corresponding quarter of last year
amounted to 1928. $50. In addition the
mills have added as much more to their
surplus funds, and most Of the mills have
unburdened themselves of debts and
interest accounts, and have made extern
sive alterations and additions. The de-
mand for goods has not only absorbed the
accumulated surplus Of some months
ago, but is beyond the present ability of
the mills to take care of it. Contracts
are now made that will extend into Octo-
Der, 1898. The average mill, which was
paying three per cent. quarterly, is now
yielding seven per cent. upon the selling
prices of it's shares.

the opinion is becoming general that there
will be no further trouble, although
rumors can be heard on all sides which
when traced up turn out to be false.

been established and to punish the men
who outra ged all law and order.
