IN BIDDEFoRD MILLS.
Mule spinners May strilxe-An Apprentice
Badly Hurt.

BIDDEFoRD, April 2S.-The mule spin
ners in the Pepperell and Laconia mills
have made demand for an increase of
wages. The local union, being unable to
get satisfaction from the companies, has
referred the matter to the International
Union, whose secretary will come here
to consult the agent. The spinners say
if their demand is not acceded to they
will be ordered out on strike. The agent
Of the corporations says the men arelwell
paid and he fears no trouble. Their
wages were increased per cent in the
Laconia, and per cent in the Pepperell
mills last fall.

CHICAGO GETS MAD.
Congressional Plans to Control the Great
Show Flatly Denounced.

CHICAGO, April 2s.-The executive
committee of the local directory of the
Worlds Fair held an important and pro-
tracted session last evening at which
resolutions were adopted which mean
practically denunciation of Congress
sional control. The subject under con-
sideration was the recent act of Congress
instructing the Secretary of the Treasury
to withhold enough of the Columbian
half dollars to secure the payment of
$570.S90 for awards.
A joint committee sof the finance and
legislative committees made lengthy
report which, after considerable discus
sion, was adopted unanimously. It sets
forth the action of the directors in pledg-
ing to the holders of the debenture
bonds the property and revenues of the
corporation, and says the committee
would regard it as direct and inexcusa-
BILE violation of the pledges and cove
nants with the bondholders to enter into
the formal undertaking which the late
act of Congress requires. 'sThe require
ment of this act" says the committee,
sis serious impairment of our re-
sources and incomprehensible, and in
the Judgment of your committee is a vi
olation of the conditions of the act of
August 5, 1892, accepted by the direct
ors.n
1t appears clear to the committee, in
view of the pledges made to the holders
of the $4,000. 900 bonds, that no such Sc
curity as required by Congress should
be furnished.

PEOPLE IMPATIENT.
And Still They Can Learn Nothing Con-
cerning Lizzie Borden's Trial.

BOSTON, Mass, April 26.-The Journal
says: Much impatience is being mani
tested by the public at the delay in try
ing Lizzie Borden, who has been kept in
Jail for months awaiting the tardy action
of the law department. of the Common
wealth. After long delay for causes
which did not seem unreasonable, came
the announcement that her trial must
be indefinitely postponed, owing to the
serious illness of the Attorney General
1t did not seem to occur to anyone at
that time that the law, to meet just such
contingencies and to save the accused
from the gross unjustness that might re-
suit being imprisoned for crime of
which he was innocent, had vested in
the district attorney the authority to
try capital cases in the absence of the
Attorney General, and SO there was no
suggestion that Miss Borden could be
speedily confronted by her accusers,
with an opportunity to prove her inno-
cence.
Since she was imprisoned eight
months ago, two persons in this State,
charged with murder, have been tried
by the District Attorneys of the counties
in which the crimes were alleged to have
been committed, one of whom was ac-
quilted, and the other suffered the ex-
treme penalty Of the law, and there, has
been no intimation that the government
on these occasions was not ably repre-
sented or that it lost ~ of its rights by
not having the eminent services of the
Attorney General to conduct the prose-
cution.
1t would seem that now that he has
fully recovered his health there could be
no excuse for further delay, but an in
quiry at his Office this morning failed to
elicit the slightest information as to
when Miss Borden is to be tried, or
whether she is to be tried at all.

tonight put an appropriate cap-sheaf on

room of the Hotel Waldorf, and covers
were laid for about 400. The price set
for the dinner was $25 plate. The dec
orations consisted of most artistic ar
rangement of choice flowers and fes-
tooned flags, all the nations being repre-
sented The scene was brilliant, and the
oratory short, witty and pointed. Inter
national fraternity was the general bur
den Of the speeches.

LONDON, April 2s.-The Pail Mall Ca
zette states that on the day that the Irish
home rule bill was passed to second
reading, William Townsend, the man
under arrest on the nominal charge of
having discharged a revolver unlawfllly
in public place, but really on suspicion
of having intended to assassinate Mr..
Gladstone, lay inwaitfor Mr.. Gladstone's
departure from his residence, with the
full purpose of numbering the premier.
Townsend was armed with loaded re-
volver, and was deliberately prepared to
shoot Mr.. Gladstone as soon as he came
within reach. When the premier came
out of his residence and the would-b be
assassin saw him, his purpose weakened,
for the peculiar reason that the venerable
appearance of the premier reminded
Townsend of his own fathers appearance
on his death bed.
The pistol slipped from the fingers of
the intended assassin, and he rushed into
the park, sank on a bench and burst into
tears. 1t is asserted that Townsend
made his way into the central hall Of the
House of Commons on the same ujeht
and vigorously denounced the homs tule
