CITY COUNCIL.
Mayor 0lney Calls a Special
Meeting for Thursday.

Mayor Olney has called a special meet
ing of the City Council for Thursday
morning next at 10 o'clock to consider the
report OF the joint special committee
with accompanying resolution which
recommends the adoption OF the natural
system of filtration. Notwithstanding
the vote IN committee which adopted the
resolution by II 20 1, the probable action
OF the City Council is giving rise to con-
siderable speculation. The vote
in the Common Council on the
resolution adopting the mechanical sys-
tenn was 80 to 6, and It secured q signifi-
cant majority in the Board. Since that
time the joint committee have examined
into the natural system at Lawrence,
have been supplied with reports
from the superintendent of the Fough-
keepsie plant, have visited the proposed
location at the Pettaconsett station and
had an opportunity to listen to the plans
and specifications involved in the propo-
sition OF Everson Il Liddell to construct
natural system for $4,000. How
ever, there are a number of conservative
members in both houses who have not
been convinced as yet of the superiority
or adaptability Of the natural system
under the existing conditions.
The item of maintenance seem, 81 have
not been intelligently considered and the
admission that it will be necessary to
heat and screen the sand promises to in
volve a substantial expenditure. IL is
nm Aar aI. L-&
the soil where the filter beds are to be
located are in the nature OF alternate lay
ers OF clay and sand, the removal and
carriage OF which will be no insignificant
item. 1t will also be necessary to bridge
the river with substantial structure,
and there is no ground for the assumption
that the town of Cranston may be will
ing to bear any portion of the ex-
pense. 1t will be remembered that
Assistant Engineer Weston in his state
ment before the City Council estimated
that the cost of the establishment and
maintenance OF a natural filter plant
would reach 100000, and competent
judges are OF the opinion that
the estimate was conser-
vative one. 1t is thought that the
will meet with strong oppo-
sltion in the Board. Alderman West is
absent which reduces the vote TO nine.
Were he present, it is figured that tie
vote would result. Judging from present
ind dications there is likely TO be a
close vote and concurrent action appears
to be doubtful and further postpone
ment possible.

FALL RIVER MILLS SHUT DOWN.
Bn nle Associated Pres,.


FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 21-Five more
mills shut down this morning as a result
of the weavers strike and I'm the mills that
are still open. The number of looms
i'm operation is about 1900 less
than yesterday. This, in brief, is the
strike situation here today. The mills
now closed are the Barnard. Narragan-
sctt, Sycamore, Flint, Stafford. Wampa-
noag and Weetamoe. The Flint mills,
however, were to close this week for
repairs. The Union mills, which are
running, have gained about a thousand
looms but all OF the othrrs have lost.
The manufacturers claim that the outlook
is encouraging and expect to hold out.
The weavers are also firm and confidently
predict victory.
The spinners of the Globe mills who
held mass meeting at South Park this
forenoon were ADDRESSED by Thomas
Evans aud Richard Booth, labor aglta-
tors. No action was taken.
IL the spinners i'm the Globe mills go out
the prospects are that several mills will
close Immediately and general shut
down is almost sure to follow.
III more weavers do not return TO work
within a day or two it is the general
opinion that most OF the mills now open
will shut down. The operatives who are
out have conducted themselves very
quietly and there has been no trouble.

NEW SILVER CERTIFICATE.
Carlisle Has One with Angels and
Electric Lights and Other Things.

WASHINGTON, Aug. T.-The Secretary
OF the Treasury has approved design for
a new five-dollar silver certificate which
had been prepared under the direc-
tion OF Claude Nj. Johnson, chief OF
the bureau OF engraving and printing.
The original of the design was painted by
Mr.. Walter Shiriaw, the well know Ameri-
can artist. The picture itself occupies
more than two-thirds OF the face area
of the note. The central figure is an an
gel with outspread wings her feet resting
upon the earth and her uplifted right
hand holding an electric light. Half re-
clining at her right is female
figure with trumpet at her
lips proclaiming the achievements and
progress OF the nation. Further to the
right is an aliegorical figure of man
representing power, with his left hand
guiding three horses abreast, while in his
right he grasps from the clouds
q thunderbolt, which is connected
by ribbon with the light held
by the central figure. At the left 10 an
eagle and another female figure with
dove eenoting peace. In the right back
ground is a half concealed picture of the
capitol, Persons competent to judge of
the excellence of the picture as work of
art declare it to be of high order.

long, and a strong sentiment was shown
In favor OF striking. Delegations appeared
from the Granite and Hargraves No. 3
mills. where the piecers have refused To
work under the reduction. AT the Granite
mill they will receive IS. IS a week and at
Hargraves 1886. Efforts will be made to
have piecers' wages raised. III competent
weavers cannot be secured, spinners will
be allowed to go out.
A delegation from the Shove mill repre-
scnted that the doffers had gone out, and
the spinners' action in refusing to do boys
work was endorsed. Border City spinners
are not satisfied with their conditions, as
the corporation is piling up yarn. Sanford
Spinning company spinners complain that
they were assured that there would be no
cutdown. They were notified yesterday
that wages would be cut from sl2 2S 10
3l1.50. Similar cuts are expected at the
Globe Yarn mills, which are under the
same management.
Treasurer Chase of the King Philip mill
is reported to have promised to keep his
spinners' wages at the rate paid in New
Bedford. Now they complain that he
proposes to cut. The spinness suspect that
there is an understanding among the yarn
manufacturer To cut TO a rate equal to
the wages to be paid by New Bedford mills
that made concessions yesterday.
A special general meeting was voted for
next Monday night. 1t was the opinion
of the committee that the action accepting
the reduction will be recopsidered at the
n%eting Monday night. The vote will
then be on the question of strike
Wampanoag and stafford mills shut
down yesterday, and Flint Sagamore,
Weetamoe and several others are ex-
pected TO close.

EVERYTHING TIED UP.
Rowland Concessions Not Regarded
as a Victory by the Strikers.

NEW BEDFORD, Aug. 21.-The mills of
the city are completely tied up today.
Even those which were running yes
terday are suspended today. The
Rowland corporations have not
yet resumed work, but undoubtedly
VIII within a few days, as an agreement
has been fully reached. The spinners'
executive committee are today devoting
their efforts to getting the Bennett
and Columbia Mills, which manufac-
ture the same line of goods as
the three Howland corporations into line
ana from statements made privately by
the officials of these mills there is some
reason to believe that the effort will be
successful.
The fate OF the strike now depends upon
the cloth mills. Some of the treasurers
are disposed to fight it out IL IL takes all
winter and they assert that an agreement
has been reached whereby the mills are to
be locked mp indefinitely.
But on the other hand individual
treasurers are quoted as saying they are
looking for loophole To get out of the
trouble and will be glad to find it
quickly. The Bristol Mill, which
was prosecuted in court week
or two ago for running on Saturday
afternoon is so loaded with orders that
gentleman very close to the manage
ment said today it could not think of
shutting down for any length of time.
1t may be, however, that even il the
manufacturers finally concede the wage
question the strike will not Immediately
end. The operatives are indignant at the
evasion OF the recently passed. particulars
bill and at a mass meeting on the south
park today they voted to make this an
issue of the strike and not to return to
work until the particulars provided by
law are made.
The spinners': committee say they do
not regard the Rowland concession as
victory and they express the belief that il
does not by any means end the strike.

The Girl in the Moon came out from

very modest and demure and perceptibly
blushing.
Fact is. she hoped the clouds would
remain with her until the Man in the
Moon had carried her up to the
zenith, where folks can't see her so well.
This hope was due To the information
she had received that THE NEWS had dis
covered her and she knew lots of people
would be out looking for her.
There were indeed lots OF them gazing
hard at the moon to catch glimpse OF
her pretty face. But so far as The NEWS
has learned none of them succeeded i'm
doing 1t. Tonight they Will try again and
the weather bureau has given out that
there will be nothing done to interfere
with sight OF the girl in the moon eS-
cept the retiring modesty of the girl her
self.
So tonight il you look in the upper left
hand circle Of the moon you may catch
glimpse OF her-round rosy and dim
pled--the suggestion of smile on er'lips
and sparkle in her eye-her hair massed
heavily over her forehead-as pretty
picture OF youth, innocence and girlish
beauty as any one would care to look
upon.

of the situation yesterday by the announce
ment that the strikers would return to
work In at least three of the 2s mills
Aside from this, the outlook for settlement
Is not at all promising.
The temper OF both sides Is at It's high
stpitch and neither is willing nor ready TO
make concessions. There Is some talk of
arbitration, and while there appears to he
much to arbitrate both manufacturer and
employe are waiting for somebody to take
the initiative.
How long the strike will last depends
largely upon the condition Of the market.
The demand for goods holds the key to
the situation.
A National AFFAIR.
There Is considerable importance at
tached to the New Bedford strike. In
fact IL Is national affair, and upon the
result Of the battle depends the uniformity
oil the wage system in the textile industry
of the country.
The mill owners realize this fact also,
for, according TO the agreement New Bed
ford and Fall River were selected rs the
places sor an entering wedge.
Secretary Ross saws IL will be long
fight. The mill owners say likewise, but
underneath this latter assertion there is n
certain feeling of local pride which may
any day terminate the labor storm which
Is ging furicusly in this city.
There was some disturbance yesterday
mt two of the mills, but not serious. The
police force is held in readiness to protect
life and property, but no trouble is feared
so long as the arrival of non-union help Is
delayed.
Everybody, including business men. tho
press, the clergy, even TO the youngest
