precipitating him a distance of 10 feet.
He struck on his head and shoulders, rem
dering him unconscious. He was taken
TO his home, Carder street, where DIR.

Inspection OF Steam Boilers-Cotton Mill
Asks For More Capital

Inspection OF Steam Boilers-Cotton Mill
Asks For More Capital.
BosToN, Jan. 3l.-The report OF Chief
Wade of the district police was before the
committee on mercantile affairs, particu-
larly the part relating to inspection Of
boilers. A bill was before the committee,
which was presented by the chief, pro
viding that every corporation, firm or in
diviiual owning or using steam boiler
shall cause an annual inspection of the
boiler TO be made. An exception Ia made
in case of boilers which are insured by a
boiler insurance company. Certificates
are to be granted to owners whose boilers
have been inspected. A fee of IS is to be
paid for the first. inslSction and % for
every subsequent inspection. Every en-
gineer who applies for license must pay
a fee of s. at first and 30 cents for re
newal.
The mercantile committee heard the
petition of the Dwight Manufacturing
company of Chicopec for increase of its
capital stock from 81, ,200, 900 to 81, 500, 900.
b. Fernald was counsel. He said that the
par value Of the stock was $500 and the
market value $500 They are running 130,-
900 spindles. They want to build mills in
the south for the manufacture Of coarse
cotton goods, using the present machinery
for the manufacture of fine goods. Last
year the legislature raised the capital Of
the Lowell mills from 81, 800, 900 to s3,00O.-
600 for the same purpose as the advance is
now asked for
Treasurer Nichols of the company said
that about 40 per cent Of the mills product
In pounds is coarse goods which are
largely sold for export. The Dwight mill
has been driven out Of home consump-
tion by the mills of the south. The mill
now exports to Turkey, South America,
Africa and China-the last country TAX
ing q large amount. The agitation for
shorter hours is a serious injury to mann
f, featuring in this state. The present tariff
Is all right fos the cotton manufacture.
The 2400 shares Of the stock are held by
$50 persons and the average holding is
seven shares. The company wants TO in
crease so that present holders may have n
chance to take stock Mt par, or sell their
rights, as the rights will be valuable.

THE ROGER WILLIAMS STONE.

Why Has Not the City Tried TO Pre-
serve il From Relic Hunters?
Some years ago that portion of the earth
bounded by Power, Williams, Gano and
Roger streets was set apart as
park, more particularly because
there is a rock on the park which has been
made famous from the fact that Roger
Williams used it for seat upon his arrival
to this state. Nothing has been done by
the city to beautify the place and to
save the rock as pieces are Clipped of from
time to time by relic hunters. "A small
iron fence is all that there is TO protect
this famous landmark.
Recently a petition has been circulated
among the residents i'm that vicinity and
when the city fathers meet next Thurs
day the petition will be presented. The
petition will represent many millions OF
dollars and all OF the best
element OF the east side, who are to make
a desperate effort to have the park prop
erly cared for by the city.

Wages Must Keep on Going in
Pennsylvania.
Frick Announces the New Sche-
dule 1T Homestead.
MEN MUST TAKE LESS S
Wages Have Been Steadily Fall
ing Since 1892.
1t is tn. skilled WOrkmen Who
Ale Cut Down.

PITTsBURG Pa. Dec. 24=The scale Of
wages TO % paid by the Carnegie Steel
company at the Homestead works has
been completed By the management, and
was presented TO the employees Of the
great works today for their inspection
and acceptance
n o detailed Information regarding the
proposed rate of the wages can be OBJ
tained, but owing to the extremely low
and unprecedented prices ruling in the
iron and steel trade. the labor expense
of the company must in the judgment Of
the management be curtailed somewhat
The change Involves reduction on the
skilled and higher paid workmen, but
common low priced labor will not be
affected by the adjustment
or the latter class there are quite
large number, the high priced labor be-
ing com paratively small.
According to the estimates of Chair
man III. G. Frick himself the earnings
for 1895 from a careful examination will
average 8 20 per day for every man and
boy employed. against 1924 per day dur
ing the year just closing, $244 per dav
six months of 1892, when the Homestead
works were operated under the Anal
gamated association prices.
The percentage of the individual re-
ducti0na is not Cbtainable just now, but
will be great. as the whole cut must
w0rkmen.
A reporter called at the company Of
fee and asked 1Lr. Frick for an expIana-
tion Of the terms OF the nesy scale He
predicates the necessity for an adjust
ment Of the scale on the changed cOndi-
lions ia the method of manufacture. and
took occasion to state that the socalled
reductions were really not reductions,
but an equalization Of rates to size up
with the improved facilities.
A skilled workman at the Homestead
mill coutradicts Mr Frick's statement
that under the new scale heaters and
rollers viii average from $3.50 to - per
day He said he did not know Of any
heater OF roller making the amount in
the mill now This work is the most SCI
we're the human frame can be put to. No
man can continue at it more than ten
years and be is then often a physical
wreck
The workman also referred to the fact
that the mills generally worked single
turn during the present year, but believ-
ed the employees would accept the scale
without protest nevertheless, as the con-
dition of the iron and steel business
regards profits was never worse
During the week billets sold for $15,
the lowest price known in the history Of
steel mOnufactvra in any country.
