Cured at wedding in Nyack,

Nothing could be found eX-
cept a hole, through which
the ring had evidently fallen

to do?
"Take your boot off, said
the parson. The suspense
and silence were painful.

IN SECRET SESSION..
THE BARRE UNION GRANITE CUT
TIERS AGAIN DELIBERATE.
Nothing Defiuite Known, but Considern-
bic Hope That n strike MAY be Averted
The National Committee from Con-
cord, \, H., Present aud Hard at work.

BARRE, MAY 1.-The Granite Cutters and
Tool Sharpener's unions held a very largely
attended secret sessions last night at the
opera house. but none Of tho decisions could
be learned. The old bill of prices ceased
yesterday.
BARRE, Nav 2.-Barre is n little uneasy
to-day and will so continue nth some agree
ment is reached between the manufactu' ers
and the granite cutters
As was stated In the FREE PRESS last
week, new bill Of prices has been submit
ted to the manufacturers to take effect May
|. A slight advance in rates, varying from
D to 5 per cent on certain kinds of piece
work is asked; but the real point at issue is
whether the bill Of prices is to so into effect
on January or May !. The manufacturers
not only refuse to make auy change from
the present prices, but insist that the year
shall begin January |. instead of May |.
Thar ground is that, with the prospect OF
new bill of prices going into effect May |,
it is impossible for them to make contracts.
At the special meeting of the Granite
Cutters union Saturday night the opera
house was crowded to suifocation. No action
of any kind was taken but the executive
committee was instructed to meet com
rnittee from Concord, \. H., tonight, the
COuCluhlCn lNeu ~ W Dc uhhOuhSNu w
morrow morning.
The paving cutters on all the quarries are
idle to-day on account of q resolution
recently passed by the Paving Con-
tractors association Of New England that
! all bills of pieces be signsI from May | 10
December /. The same difference exists
here as between tho cutters aud the manu-
| facturers. Orders were received here Sat-
urday night by the local union Of paving
cutters to quit work until Il settlement was
reached The same orders were doubtless
sent to every branch in New England, and
the cutting of paving stone is consequently
suspended
BARRE. May 3.-Union matters are
rather quiet here to-day, cutters and sharp
encrs all working usual, but it is not
| known what tomorrow morning may bring

another large union mass meeting is TO be
