A DEEP LAID PLOT.
Hints that the Riot at the German Train
ing School Was Part of a Plot.

Berlin, October THE Kruz Zeitung
processes have special information from
military quarters concerning the Invali-
dnstrasse School. The whole affair, it
says is not casual explosion of discon-
tent aggravated by too much beer, but
part of a widespread plot. Reicnazeig
Reichsanzeiger denies the mutiny has
any political significance. 1t promises
to make full statement on the subject
Immediately after the close Eof the off,
cial inquiry. The military authorities
propose to improve the discipline of she
school by transferring it to quiet town,
far from any large city. Several nom
commissioned officers, arrested early in
the week, sand confined at Magdeburg,
passed through Berlin Thursday evening,
on their way to their regiments, but de-
clined to give the slightest inkling Of
their experiences while under arrest, or
of the reasonskof their detention.

And Tried to Kill His Wife, According ito
Her Story.

North Adams, October 6.-Mrs. John
Kelvin of Adams, accuses her husband,
John Kelvin, of this town, of trying to kill
her with poison. The couple were married
about eight years ago. and lived happily
together until recently.
This summer they separated. the wife 60
ing to the home of her mother, Mrs. Hen
messy on Pear stree Adams.
Mrs. Kevlin says that last February her
husband became morose and abused her
more or less, and that several times after
eating her meals she became violently ill,
and:.at one time her illness lasted for. some
time.
The physicians told her that she was
suffering from more than an ordinary ILL
ness. This aroused her suspicious. and
she searched the cupboards and also her
husbands clothes. She claims that she
found.in an old pair of trousers a bottle
labeled 'arsenous aoid.'' Then in a re-
vulsion of feeling she gave him. back the
bottle, and asked him why he used it. He
cursed her, and told her it was only a
toothache mixture.
Not long afterward she says he came home
one day. and taking her by the throat he
pinned her against the wall, and pressing
his knee on her abdomen he began to choke
her. saying. IF yousare on to it IL put you
where you cant peep
She struggled unavailingly. and just then
her brolher. J John Hennesy of Adams,
came into the room. Mrs. Kelvin accused
her husband with trying to kill her. He
laughed it off, but she left. Her health
continuing poor. ssbe went on a visit to
Waltham, where she consulted DR.. Wood,
who told her she was dangerouly i'll from
the accumulative effects of arsenic.
Prot. Wood of Harvard was also consulted,
and he made che4nical analysis of the urine
and found it strongly impreguated with the
poison. She then returned to Adams and
called DR.. Thomas Riley, who was notified
of the result of the analysis. She dared
not return to her husband, and began a suit
for separation, attaching his property.
Her husband agreed to allow her SIS per
week for board until the case vas finally
settled. Mr.. Kelvin says that in 1898 a
cousin of hers, Alice Maher of West Greece,
MY, came to visit her. One day after she
had been out she came back suddenly to the
house and found her husband and Alice to-
gether. The girls hair and dress were dis
figured and she was half drunk.
8 She went back to New York soon after,
and before going confessed that Kevlin had
taken liberties with her. Mrs. Kelvin says
that she believes her husband is infactuated
with the girl, and that is why he wanted to
kill her. State Detective Pease has been
notified to investigate the case.

MILL MEN INDIFFERENT.
They Realize the Suffering that
Exist Among Strikers.
BUT ARE DETERMINED TO PRE-
VENT A REPETITION OF TROUBLE.

Further More they Think the Price of
Cottons Goods Would Not Hold if Mills
Started Up-They are willing However
to Start at the Reduced Wages.
Fall River, Mass, October 7.-Since
Saturday the manufacturers have ex-
pressed quite freely the determination
not to open the mills to the operatives
until the latter consent to return to the
reduced scale of wages offered nine
weeks ago. None of them deny that
great : amount of suffering is being en-
dured by the operatives, and also by
those indirectly dependent upon the
mills for support. 1t is useless for them
to attempt to run the cotton business in
this city if they are to he dictated to
from time to time by trades unionists.
They agree that the market is in a
stronger position than seven weeks ago,
and say still, many contracts remain to
be filled at low prices. made weeks before
that time. They contend there is no
demand existing that warrants apy be-
lief that contracts with all the mills here
could be made for any lengthy period at
the present quotations. If the mills
resumed operations Immediately, they
say the resumption of operations would
surely be followed by slump in prices
amounting according t. various treasur-
ers from an eighth to quarter of a
cent yard. They have been encouraged
to believe the weavers would soon be
clamoring to reopen the mills at any
wages, and this feeling is being based on
the fact that the association funds will
soon be exhausted. They. think 100 spin
ners will not stand out long, and when
the weavers take the decisive action
looking towards "a resumption of work.
One said yesterday the present was not
the time to count the losses. Both
manufacturers and operatives are at war,
to determine which shall control the
mills. When the war is on, losses are
not the things of greatest Importance,
