LAST EDITION
FIRST WEEK ENDS
Both Sides Apparently Expect an
Early Settlement of the Trouble.

Bu Inc A&Octuct fTfHs.
NEW BEDFORD, Aug. 25.-The first week
OF the strike ended today. The feeling on
the part of all classes in the community is
that settlement of the existing difficult
ties is not far of.
The published interview with Hon. w.
w. Crapo, in which he says that after
Labor Day he expects to see most of the
mills running, has done much to reassure
the operatives and business men, who sc-
cept 1t as an authoritative explanation of
the mill mems belief that the fight is not
to be Q long one.
OF course there are different ideas as to
the means by which q settlement is to be
effected, but the general feeling is that,
with public sentiment as it is,
the feeling on both sides is
that the existing condition Is an
unfortunate one, and one that must in
some way be terminated, and with all the
efforts at conoilation that are being put
forth, the resumption OF nominal condi-
tions cannot be long delayed.
So far as the operatives are concerned,
the strike has as yet been most pleasant
vacation rather than hardship. They
have spent the days in healtnful open-air
enjoyment and in seeking means of SUBJ
sistence In the woods and in the sea.
OF course this could not last long and the
pinch would soon be felt. II has been felt
already by the storekeepers who have
found great decrease in their trade dur
ing the last week. The deposits in the
banks have also greatly decreased.
Next week is sure to sec an improved con-
ditiop OF affairs In that at least six of the
city mills, those OF the Howland corpora
tions, will be running as usual.
The Bennett and Columbia will also try
to run, but as they are to start up under
the reduction. the success or failure of the
effort to be determined.

ment About What She Has Done.


LONDON, Aug. .25.-Parliament was pro-
rogued today. The Queens speech, which
was read from the throne in the House OF

My Lords and Gentlemen: am
gratified at the fact that your

share the JOY at the birth of an heir, in

unprecedented in the history Of the
country.
My relations with foreign powers are
friendly, but / regret that variety of
African questions with France are not
yet settled.
The speech continues:
In c. ncert with the president OF the
United States, i have taken the step neces-
sary to give effect to the Bering sea award
and have assented to an act of Parliament
for this purpose similar to an act passed
by tho Congress OF the United States.
The governments of the two countries
are also in communication with the prin-
cipal foreign powers with the vfewA0Fob1
tanning their adhesion to the regulations
prescribedlby the award. regret to state
that war has broken out between China
and Japan.
After endeavoring in concert with Rus
sia and other powers to prevent an out
break of hostilities, / have taken steps to
preserve strict neutrality.
/ have learned with satisfaction that the
proceedings at the Ottawa conference
were OF a character calculated to strength
en- the union af the colonies concerned,
both among themselves and with the
mother country.
Referring TO the budget, the Queens
speech says:
Though lament the necessity OF in
creasing the burden of taxation, it had
become indispensable for the security OF
the empire to increase the naval strength.
The speech adds:
While the general tranquility OF Ire
land is maintained in remarkable
degree, certain social and administrative
difficulties still subsist which continue to
engage the earnest attention of my gov
ernment.

Important Change in Schedule Of
the C. & 0's Pet Train.

Commencing Sunday, May 18th
the f. f. v. Limited will leave Gin

Emphasis is especially placed on the
Observation Car. Built by the Pull

Ohio plans, the f. f. v. Observation
Cars serve their purpose better than
any others that have ever been con-
structed.
AS the f. f. V. Limited is the only
train having an Observation Car
attached, it necessarily follows that
the Chesapeake s. Ohio R'y alone has
scenery interesting enough to demand
an Observation Car. The f. f. V.

that enables the business man to
transact business in Cincinnati one.

Charlton II. Elrod, photographer
of Louisville, was arrested Sunday
afternoon and taken to Nashville upon
a requisition issued by Gov. Turney.
Elrod was indicted last week by the
grand jury at Nashville for completely
in the $4,000 express robbery of last
year. Charles A. Hardin, the messen-
ger who had charge of the money be-
tween Cincinnati and Nashville, was
rearrested two months ago and is now
in Jail at Kansas City, where he is said
TO have confessed last week, implicat-
ing Elrod as an accessory. The rob-
berry of the money packages was COM
mitted in Tennessee, which explains
why the authorities of that State have
taken hand in the arrest.
1t will be remembered that this
Hardin or Ketchum was tried in Louis
vile some time since, and the express
Companies failed to make a case
against them. Later he sued for $780,
000'damages but the suit came to
naught. He was offered his old posi-
ton again but refused it.

Tom Smith and Neil Young, two
negroes, without the owners consent
took Mr.. Geo. @. Eastin's horse and
buggy and spent Thursday night in
driving over the country. They were
arraigned yesterday before Judge
Apperson and are now spending 20
days with Jailer Best. The fact that
the Smith negro worked for Mr..
Eastin was probably what secured
them even so light penalty for their
ride.

A Noble Christian Worker Gone
Home.

Mary Agar, wife of Rev. It. Agar
late of Maytown, KY, sweetly fell
asleep at the home of her son, Willie
at Baltimore, Nd, on April Both, 1894.
For some five years she assisted her
husband in the mountain missionary
work, where lasting good was accom-
plished, as many of our readers know.
She was sent to the Infirmary at Lex
ington, where she received the best of
skill and treatment, but the dangerous
symptoms of inward cancer set in and
hope of her recovery fled. She went
to Baltimore at the end of the year
and was even able to be taken into the
country where Bro. Ager had mis-
sion. Up to within month of her
death, not being able to go to church,
she held meetings in the little home
the people provided where sinners
were converted. Taken worse she
was removed back to Baltimore, and
soon began to sink fast. While she
was conscious she spoke sweetly of
the home above and said to many {:
THAT which 1 have preached to 9TH
ers l now enjoy" Surrounded by
her dear husbanded and son with his
wife and dear little one and loving
friends, her loving spirit passed away.
Oh, may we triumph so when all our
warfare is past. We kept her for
three days, and many were the dear
ones that came and gave expressions
of their sympathy and sorrow.
The funeral service was an impress
i've time. Rev. j. NJ. Singing, of the
M. 2. Church, assisted by Rev. A, E.
Bradenbaugh and others, took part in
the services. We laid her to rest in
