MANY RuMoRs,
But There Seems to be No Change in the
Strike Situation.


New Bedford, Mass. August 2s.-The lat
est report in relation to the strike is when
the Bennett and Columbia mills are to
start up. Two mills of the City Manufac-
turing company are also to resume opera
tioIs. This was stated today by promi-
nent mill man connected with the mills.
ard another mill man connected with the
same mill, when asked if the mills would
start up, replied he had no idea that they
would right away. The mill managers are
very reticent. The talk that the Acushnet
and Hathaway mills will start up the MORN
ing after Labor day seems to have no trace
able foundation. This would be under re-
duction, and Secretary Connolly of the card
and picker room operatives association,
said tonight if the Hathaway and Acushnet
mills should try to start up with the idea
OF getting any help, fiat failure would re-
suit. He thought it would cause trouble
and predicted the police would have their
hands full in keeping order.

Thomas Mansfield. a well-to-do Lewiston
business man, who at the time was at his
country place about four miles south of
Auburn, shot his wife and attemped sui
eide. Neither shot was fatal, and neither
are considered injured fatally. The first
information of the affair reached Lewiston
through the physicians who notified City
Marshal Teal of Lewiston at 8 p. m. The
city marshal went to Mansfield,s farm and
arrested him. Mansfield was lying down on.
the sofa. He arose put on his hat and coat
and rode to Lewiston. The bullet wound
is in his lip and mouth. The wound in his
wifes' head is near the ear. The shots
were fred from 20 ealibre revolver, (which
accounts for their. failure to prove fatal.
Mansfield states that his action was ar
ranged between them, both being tired of
life. Mrs. Mansfield had for long time
been in poor health and legged him to shoot
her. He had larger revolver in the house,
but could not find it. Mrs. Mansfield is
about..si years old and Is related to Eben
D. Jordan of Jordan & Marsh of Boston.
For years Mansfieldsand his wife had been
in the millinery business on Lisbon street

table property and are in easy ciIcumstan-
ces. Mansfield is under arrest. He says but
little and pleads .as his :only excuse sthat
death was desired by both.

Used q Bomb.

! Natick, Mass, August 2s.-At about
O'Clock this morning, the. occupants of
the boarding house of Hiram P. Ring
on Foskett court and the surrounding
houses were awakened by loud ex
Plosion and the crash OF glass breaking.
ufactured from piece of gas pipe had
been thrown into the cellar of the Ring
house where it had exploded. The
quantity of powder must have been linn
tied, ,as the only damage done was to the
cellar windows, which were blown out.
Mr.. Ring, at the time of the last strike
in Walcott's shop. took to board the Ar
meaians who assumed the strikers plac-
es, and they are still with him. The
supposition is that these are the ones
toward whom the assault was directed.
One of them was attacked on the street
recently and quite BADLY, hurt. The se-
lectnen will probably offer reward.
