WeaverR Strike.

BosToN, Sept. 20-Two thousand
garments weavers stopped work this
morning. By noon probably three
thousand will be on strike.

OF a number Of contractors to concede

adjustment of the dumping" and
sweating" system and introduction
of the weekly wage system. The

the engines and burning the bri }ges
| east Of Carlin. His direct evidence
did not materially differ from that
given before the Commissioner at
Carlin. He identified the sack
in which the dynamite was taken to
the bridges and the bottle which he
carried on that night full of coal oil
with which the bridges were set on
fire.
He was put through a rigid cross
examination by Mr.. Wren which dis
closed the fact that he had talked
with Asher about his evidence after
the adjournment of Court last night
and the two had compared their evi
dence. Wren also elected the fact
that the witnesses who had testified
had gone to the District Attorneys
Office and told other witnessse yet to
be called what they had sworn
to.
The cross examination of Thomp-
son was in progress when the noon
recess was taken and when the court
convened after recess Wren took up
his evidence before Commissioner
Palmerin the preliminary examina,
ton and asked him how he reconciled
the statement made before the Com
ssioner with those he had made on
his direct examination. To this ques-
ton the witness replied Gthat he did
not know and could not reconcile
it."
Commissioner Palmer was called to
identify cipher telegram sent by
March but the defense admitted it and
the commissioner was excused.
Pat Martin, the other informer, was
then called to the stand and testified
that March made the motion to cut off
the pullmans. On the night of the
4th. and morning of the 9Th. Cum

FILTRATION.


he was assured that he had not been,
and that as much value was placed upon
his professional opinion In the considera-
tion of the gravity filter system as In that
of the mechanical system.
Engineer shcdd Questioned.
Mr.. Shedd was asked IL he had provided
for cover to the filter belt and what the
approximate cost of one would be. He
replied that he had not because In his
opinion q cover was altogether unneces-
sary and an overhead protection for the
clear water basin would be much more
useful and desirable than to cover the
wster while 1t was going through the pro-
cess of filtration. Comparisons between
the sand filter plants of other cities,
Lawrence and Poughkeepsie and the one
proposed for Providence were then shown
by the engineer. The cost OF the 2h-acre
plant at Lawrence was s65, 5,f59.67, and
on this basis six and a half acre plant
here would cost s162,346. Bat the con-
tract price here would be, In all PROBABLE
ity, less per acre for the reason that there
would be a much larger area, the material
for the bid is near at hand and the trans
portation expense would be much less,
while on the other hand 1t is proposed
Providence should have more expensive
plant in view of which, Mr. Shedd continued
that 1t was practically impossible to take
the figures Of the cost of one plant and
draw conclusions from them relative to
the cost OF another one constructed under
different conditions.
The proposition of Everson & Liddell to
construct the plant for s2Oc, 900, which was
published in The NEWS OF last Saturday,
was read. The committee voted on the
resolution as above stated and then ad-
journed.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

For rainy day amusements they started
pool selling on new subject in down
town barroom this afternoon.
An alarm of fire came i'm from box 123 and
one of the regulars said between the
first and second gulps of a small beer,
"wonder what it is" and forgot it. But the
bar boy, who had sold pro-
grams at the spring morning meet,
made up the following slate
and took bets: False alarm, 3 to 5; Chin
ney fire, even money; life lost, 20 to L
slight blaze on roof, even money; loss
under s1OO, even money; loss over $50, to
2; loss over $1,000, 40 to 1; fireman
hurt, II to 1. "False alarm"
and under 500 were hot favorites
with "chimney fire" second in the es-
TEEN of the talent, while there were but
few takers OF the long shots. "Slight
roof blaze" was crowded fro m s to 3
down to even money at the recall
and after the betting was over
the bar boy called up the Fourth police
station and learned that kerosene stove
had been accidently tipped over in James
Nevins barber shop, ia Westminster
street, and that a blaze had got into
the towel and hair restorer supply
resulting in slight damage, and "Less
than a hundred" won i'm a walk. The
building il owned by Caleb Mann and
Officer Blood rang the gong.

and a. m. this morning. The character
OF the work done bore unmistakable evil
dence OF boys work. The combination
OF one of the safes was ruined by means
OF hammer or hatchet, and foot prints
of q small size were to be plainly seen on
the safe where the young burglar had
tried to pull the door open by main
force after damaging the combination.
How the entrance was effected is un-
known, as no windows were broken and
the place was securely locked. The po-
lice were notified and are working on the
case.

The case OF Thomas Gallagher, charged
with setting fire to Mr.. Thurber's barn on
the Killingly road, was tried in the Eighth
District Court this morning. The evil
dence presented did not prove in any
way that Gallagher set the fire, but there
was some trouble about money owed,
over which there was some contro-
versy. The testimoney brought out the
fact that Mrs. Thurber was suspected of
knowing something about the fire and it
is expected that another arrest will be
made today. The court found Gallagher
not guilty.
