looked jubilant." The big sloop dropped
which the men examined very carefully.
'"They found lot Of gun hints with
which the Hussar was ballasted and
about 20 grape shot. A number of black
granulated chunks puzzled all hands.
They found the stuff was gun powder.
They must have hauled up 500 pounds Of
It.
We have also found piles of worm
eaten oak planking which could only have
come out OF n British man -ofwar.
Our search light will be here In few
days, and then the divers can work to ad
vantage"
Capt. Simonds has n force of 12 meu.
They have a two-story house boat, which
Is anchored about five hundred feet off

Fruitless Story Admitting
knowledge OF Case the wisest Course.

Detective Parker was in the city this
forenoon looking somewhat weary with
his hard work on the Haswell case. He
said that he had no doubt at all about
the man In the woods at Attleboro being
Dalton as he had been seen by people who
knew him. The matter of capturing him
was not SO easy for there was woods ex-
tending for many miles in which 1t was
almost impossible to find him and the
fellow might live there for months sub

which he could steal from the farmers.
People were afraid Of him, he said, and
would let him alone II they saw him.
Mr.. Parker said that he did not 60 to

Parker said he thought Sullivan was

instead Of allowing the police to show
that his story was not true.
From the detective's talk 1t appears
that he thinks Dalton may succeed In
eluding the police for some time but he
will have to be pretty smart IL he isn't
taken of his guard.
The officers kept up their search for
Dalton yesterday until a late hour In the
afternoon, when they came back to Provi-
dence A few berry-pickers and one or
two wanderers were all the live things
routed, although they found traces of
other parties. Soon after noon time, peo-
pie on the Goff farm reported seeing q
man, who looked like Dalton, crossing
into the woods, aud the force were gath

search, deploying about fifty feet apart,
and sweeping across to the Hebron camp

Barre Workers Did Not Want . Non-U Un-

BARRE, VT, Aug. 9.-The granite strike
assumed new phase yesterday. In the
afternoon one of the striking cutters re-
turned to work for Marr q Gordon. Six
apprentices, cutters and apprentice
blacksmiths refused to work with the
non-union cutter, and left the shed.
This latest development caused a sensa-
tion in the ranks of the dea ers and cut
ters. The employers claim that the union
induced the apprentices to leave, but the
cutters say they had nothing to do with
the affair.
This Is the first shed where apprentices
have resented the employment OF nom
union men. IL Is understood that deal
ers are consulting an attorney regarding
the action of Mari q Qordon's appren-
tices. A few more strikers have returned
