A senseless Rumor.
The very foolish rumor which was
circulated in the Olneyville mills on
Thursday, 10 the effect that the American
Loan and Trust company's bank In
Olneyville had failed was the cause OF
some Withdrawals yesterday, but Man
ager Capwell was just as courteous
and obliginR In payinS away the money
as IL he had been receiving 1t. There
was not the slightest cause for
went to the bank minus her book, told
someone she could not get her money
AID so the rumor spread. IL was stated
last night that about $1,000 had been
VII hdrawn in addition to the usual busi-
ness transactions. IL was n senseless per-
formance and one that might have been
very detrimental during the present time
of monetary stringency.
Mills Not to Close.
The persistent way in which some peo-
pie assert that the mills in Olneyville
were about to shut down would seem as
il the wish were father to the thought.
but so far as can be ascertained from
those at the mills who are in position
TO know, there is not the slightest proba-
blity OF IL at present.
The Delaine Mill company are execut-
ing orders and receiving new ones just as
usual and there are no signs OF even
lessening the present working hours.
From the Riverside mills comes the re-
port that everything Is working satis-
iactorily and nicely aud that there is no
necessity or expectation OF shutdown.

way. by Officer Murphy, for an assault

triei TO quiet the disturbances the War
rens set upon him, aud anything he did
was I'm self defence. He pleaded not
guilty aud furnished bonds for his ap.
pearance.
