TWO MILLS TO START.
Every Indication that Work VIII Resume
In Few DAYS.

PITTsBURG, July 2l.-There is every
indication that the Carnegie company
proposes to start up Its two mills a.
Lawrenceville before many days. The
natural gas is burning in the furcace
and car loads Of biliets are being daily
received and stacked in the mill grounds
The sympathetic strikers have doubted
their pickets and both the land and
river entrances to the mills are being
watched. Half dozen strangers at
tempted to reach the gates today with
the view Of applying for work, but we're
intercepted by the strikers and after .
brief parley agreed not to persist IN
their intention for the present. They
claimed to have come from Baltimore
of their own vo.ition. The Carnegie
company 10 said TO have q large num-
Der of applications for positions from
men now employer at the Black Dia-
mond Steel works and Clark's Solar
Iron works. Application for the re-
lease on bail of Hugh ODonnell and
Ross will be made tomorrow forenoon
before Judge Magee.

No additional information was sworn

PROVIDENCE, X. l., Jan. 81, 1892.
To The Editor Of the NeloS
SIR-The opposition TO the o'clock
closing bill will come from Republicans
as well as Democrats, and as far as L can
learn il is not Republican measure. The
fact OF its being recommended 10y the gov
ernor does not necessarily make IL the
policy of th party. IL is the duty OF the
executive to recommend whatever he
thinks is for the best interest of the State,
but all his recommendations are not
adopted by his party and | don't believe
this will be. i am opposed TO change in
the hours of voting until we have law
making election day a legal holiday, max
ing IL compulsory upon every employer of
labor to close his workshops at least one
half of election day. Until such law is
passed il is better in my opinion for the
voter that the law governing the hours of
voting remain as it is The institutions
of this State and nation need and demand
for their preservation full, free, pure and
conscientious ballot, which can only be
obtained by giving the elector ample time
TO cast his ballot, time which is his own,
when he will not have to depend upon the
consent of any man or set of men to get
to the ballot box. But this is not a party
question at the present time, no conven-
tion of any party having adopted il. and
all men, no matter what their political
faith may be, should join in the protest
against its passage as inimical TO free ex-
ercise of the franchise. Il. l.. CANNON.

The n. y. q y. Il. X. X. Co. is asking the
city of Providence to endorse the bonds of
the T. d :. X. X. to enable it to extend
that road TO East Thompson, distance OF
little less than eight miles.
Is there any reason why one corporation
should not indorse the bonds or notes of
another corporation, provided its security
is good beyond doubtg
There certainly is none provided they
desire 20 do So and provided they will de-
rive any benefit by so doing There can
certainly be no doubt i'm the minds of
those who know the facts that in this case
the security is good beyond any question.
Then will the city of Providence receive
any benefit from the extension of this
road? IL has been the writer's aim in this
letter to show some of the benefits the city
of Providence has already received from
the New York and New England railroad,
and if il is not plainly apparent that the
competition i'm this direction will be of
sufficient advantage to warrant this in
dorsement it, certainly would appear that
the New York and New England railroad
has contributed TO the prosperity of the
city of Providence in other directions in a
sufficiently substantial manner to he en-
titled TO such an Endorsement without op-
position. NERlTAS.

NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATRES,
Providence Opera House.

OF the successful American plays by
American authors, Alabama" which
will he at the Providence next week,
stands near the head of the list, and in
the estimation of many cities, il is the
best Augustus Thomas. the author, has
received many letters congratulating him
on the production, and large audiences
throughout the country have taken the
same view of it and crowded the theatres
at every performance. The subject treated
is one of the most difficult, inasmuch as
its scenes are laid in the South, and the
story deals principally with the people of
that section.
The late war has prominent part in
the play, but Mr.. Thomas is said TO have
touched the affair as painter does the
man subject of his canvas, TO color and
shade II and invest il with contrast, not
jarring, but in exquisite harmony with
the theme in hand. / have watched with
much interest to see how the people of the
South would receive this portrayal of
Southern life and the result has more than
justified Mr.. Palmer in sending "A capable
company with it through that section.
Every endeavor is made by the stage
manager to put natural appearance on
things connected with the scenery and the
success is always apparent.
The scene Is an old plantation in Ala
bama, near "A settlement called Dalladega,
and very briefly told the story is that Mrs
Page, n widow and her son, are threatened
with ruin by relative, Raymon Page,
who disputes the marriage of Mrs. Page
and his brother. Harry Preston, who
holds the proof that would vindicate the
widows fair name, disappeared, after
quarrel with his father, he returns event
ually and exposes the slanderer, ana by
revealing his identity to his aged father is
forgiven, and all ends pleasantly.

almost irresistible desire to join the rap

In this city, however. the days of pleas

For the past few years, the period during
which skating could be enjoyed has per-
