QUIET IN OLNEYyILLE.
The Ufortunate Affair in the Riverside
Mills Depiored.


Mills Depiored.
The mills in Olneyville are now all
working and the oyerseers in every de-
partment are starting up the machinery
as quickly as the work is sent along from
one department to another, and probably
by Tuesday next all the help will be at
work
With the exception -of little hitch
which occurred at the Riverside mills,
everything has gone along amicably and
pleasantly as il the strike never had
taken place, and this little matter Is
much regretted by the authorities at
Riverside mill. 1t was the desire of Mr..
King, the treasurer at these mills, that
every one should go to work and take his
usual place without any ill-feeling on
either side, and he was very sorry
that --se-i i4aHeA temper was fnanf--
tested by Overseer Edwin Hurst,
and John w. Thornton, who Is chairman
OF the spinners union, and was also one
of the executive committee. Mr.. Dolbel
who is acting as superintendent in the
absense of Mr.. Ward telephoned to Mr..
King Immediately the trouble was re-
ported TO him. Mr.. King replied that he
would be at the mill early after dinner.
Mr.. ing arrived at the Riverside mills
about . clock yesterday and called be-
fore him Overseer Edward Hurst, John w.
Thornton the spinner, and other workers
WHO were present MAen tHe tiouDio oS-
Cured.
After listening to both sides Treasurer
King asked the men to look upon the
matter as an unnecessary ebullition OF
temper and go to their work, assuring
them at the same time that as quick as
the machines could be got to work each
one should have his own place. There
would be mo- blacklisting. He desired
the settlement to be amicabie and pleas
ant att round, as though. no strike had
occurred. The men promised To lay the
matter before their executive committee
on Saturday. The committee has been
called together for Saturday afternoon to
consider what shall be done in this case.
The matter is looked upon in Olneyville
as very unfortunate affair and the two
men are considered the most unlikely
with whom anything OF this kind should
have occurred. Ovepeer Hurst Is said to
be q fine man in every way, usually very
reasonable and good one TO get along
WITH and Thornton is. also cool, clear
headed, reasonablep person and was very
quiet, SO that everybody is surprised at the
occurrence and hope the operatives will
take Mr.. Kings advice and let the matter
rest.
Narrow Escape.
Officer ColwelTof the Sixth police sta
tion had an accident this morning which
might have proved serious. 1t appears
the officer had put on his clothes
ready to start for the station and left his
billy and revolver on the table close to
where he stood. He then took up his re-
volver and for anything he knew put 1t
into his coat pocket, but instead it fell on
the floor beside, him and went of,
the ball passing right between his legs
and into the hallway. Both the officer and
his family were much startled at the loud
report of the revolver and were some
time before they got over the fright
However the officer is pleased that the
family eacaued ithout injury

she knows her rubber-shod steed as a jockey

Miss Bateman. 1t will be remem bered. gave
utterance the other day to wall both loud
and long. She shed tears as she recounted
the tale Of her resignation from the league. a
resignation which. she claimed. was forced
upon her by the Executive Committee. And
che got herself into the papers to the extent OF
sundry half columns retailing her story.
The members OF he Executive Committee
awoke to find themselves as famous as Miss
BAteman had cleverly succeeded in making
herself. But they merely said to the reporters:
Miss Bateman's story. as published. Is not
true. She handed In her resignation. Under
the circumstances 1t was accepted. But 1t
