SETTLED BYA COMPROMISE.
End of the Strike Of tho Carpenters at
| RockIand.
lSnecial to the Press j


RocKLAND, Me-, May 1O.-After aces
sation of nine working days, the strike
of the Rockland carpenters is no more.
The result is compromise. The propo-
sition of the employers as accepted by
the men, is that the men shall continue
ten hours day with nine-hour Satur
day, until February 1st of next year,
when the nine-hour a day plan will be
granted. Union men are to be given the
preference, and local union men will be
employed rather than workmen from
outside towns. The wages are to be
those of regular 10-hour day according
as wages throughout the state rule. At
ter the nine-hour day goes into effect
with the wages specified, no changes can
be made by either party, except on the
first day of June in any succeeding year,
and then not without four months previ-
GUS notice having been given. The men
go to work tomorrow morning upon the
same jobs that they were engaged upon
when the strike began. The decision
will affect all three branches of the
building trades, providing the masons
sign the articles. The painters have
been at work the past few days under the
nine-hour system, and had already signi-
fed their, intention Gf acting in accord
with the carpenters. The masons are
working only upon private jobs at pres

MASTER HUNT WRITES A LETTER.
Says He Has Nothing to Say About List

Them Unscrupulous and Unfair.

AUGUSTA, May s1O.-M. B. Hunt of
Belmont, Master of the State Grange. has
written an open letter,ain which he con-
graduates patrons on the fight made for
the listing bill in. the last legislature
and the progress made. He says:
Though beaten, we have not struck our
colors. We are in it to stay until justice
and right are secured. Let us take a
cheerful view of the situation. 1t is not
much of a defeat after all. Our friends
in both branches of the legislature did
nobly, full as well, perhaps, as we had a
right to expect. When we Ngrapple with
problem of such magnitude as the list
ing bill'' and in two years from the time
the first encounter is had sncceed lin car
rying the House by such an overwhelm-
ing majority and tie the Senate, we have
no reason to be discouraged Let us
close up our ranks, reform our lines and
once more give battle for the right. We
have nothing hard to say of those mem
bers Of the legislature who opposed us.
They have simply shown how unscru-
pulously selfish and unfair they are"

FOUND in THE RIVER.
The Body of RohIe the Escaped Convict
Pierced by Bullet.

SING SING, N. Y, May 10.-A body
was found floating in the Hudson river
this morning, which has been identified
by both Principal Keeper Connaughton
and State Detective jackson as that of
Frank w. Rohle, the condemned murder
er who escaped from the prison with con-
demned murderer Pallister, on the night
of April 20.
When the body had been washed it was
found that Rohle had been shot in the
right side of the head. This led to the
supposition that Pallister shot his COM
panion.
At first it was the theory of the prison
officers that both Pallister and Rohle
were drowned in the attempt to escape.
1t has always been supposed that the
murderers stole a boat and attempted to
cross the river.
At S.45 o'clock this morning three fish
ermen named Fred Cronk, Benjamin
Flynn and Benjamin Stratton, were row.
ing in the Hudson river, off Rockland.
The three men saw the body floating
down the river. Ever since the escape
of Rohle and Pallister the people have
been on the lookout for the two murder.
ers, for there was a reward of $3.50 for
their recapture dead or alive.
One of the fishermen says he thinks he
saw another body further down the river,
but did not 90 after it, as he had the body
of Rohle in tow. Searching parties are
now trying to find the body of Pallistel
in the river.

BERLIN, May 10.-Oficial assurance

ming that the Emperor did not wish his
speech of yesterday to be read as a
menace to the Reichstag or as chal-

Informant said: ION the contrary His
Majesty desires the most scrupulous ad-
herence to constitutional forms. He
feels strongly, however, the urgent need
of reforming the Reichstag. He cannot
govern with a Reichstag split into ten
political parties, among whom, through
chance or partisan agreements, majOri-
ties are constantly forming against the
government on vital issues. His Majes-
ty does not wish to rule absolutely. He
is willing to rule conditionally-even to
allow the parliamentary majority share
in the government-but what imperial
cabinet could work with Bebel, Lieber
and Richter? Not one of them has under
control a positive working majority; not
one of them can get together majority
combination.
sFew things would please the Emperor
better than consolidation of the parlia-
mentary factions into two OF three large
parties, with whom he would be able to
reckon in determining his policy, Then
he would be happy to govern in harmony

ALcRYoN BARRED OUT.
The Famous Grey Stallion and the Board
of Review.

CHICAGO, May 10.-The Board of Re-
view of the National Trotting Associa-
ton today refused the application for
the reinstatement of the famous grey
stallion Alcryon. The stallion and his
owner, Frank L. Noble, were expelled in
1889, on account of the race at Beacon
Park, Boston, in which Noble was to re-
ceive $4,000 from C. H. Nelson, owner
of the stallion Nelson, if he would cause
Alcayon to be pulled, and allow the race
to go to Nelson. 1t was alleged today
that Alcryon was the property of COR
poration known as the Alcryon Company
but there was not sufficient evidence to
show that a bona fide sale had been
made, and the application was denied.

Especial TO the Press.
CALAIS, May 1O.-The case of james
Murchie ct ais VS.. Ephraim c. Gates,
Henry F. Eaton & Co., ct ais in equity,
which was begun before Judge Haskell
on Saturday morning, was concluded
yesterday afternoon. This case, which
has already been quite fully reported,
was one growing out of an alleged diver
sion of the waters of the st. Croix river
by the defendants, who are the owners
of system of mills at Milltown, from
the mills of the plaintiffs, situated short
distance below. In 1884 the Murchies
brought an action at law against the de-
PENDANTS for diversion of the water and
recovered $1,000 damages. In 1885 a
temporary injunction was obtained by
the plaintiffs to restrain the defendants
in the use of the water, which injunction
has continued until the present time.
Gates disposed of his interest in the up
per mills to the Eatons in 1889.
The hearing occupied three days. The
testimony of large number of witnesses
was taken, and the case was closely con-
tested at every point The result was a
victory for the defendants. The tenn
porary injunction was dissolved, and the
court decreed that Gates should pay
costs to the time he disposed of his in
terest in the upper mills to the Eatons,
and the bill was dismissed as to the 9TH
er defendants.
Hon. A. MacNichol and George A.
Curran appeared for the plaintiffs, and
Hon. J. w. Symonds, Harvey & Gardner,
L. G. Downes, ESQ.,, George NJ. Hanson.

defendants.

How many village and hamlet
 would, to-day, be neat and attractive, instead of forlorn and deserted as many of them are, had the fore-fathers taken more pains with the exterior decorations of their houses. But the past has been too busy time and money in those days too scarce to lavish too extensively on outward appearance, and in fact it was considered almost a sin to make home attractive by useless ornamenta- tion. But times have changed, let it thankfully be said, and to-day modern architects are studying to make the new
