Maine News Notes.

People are talking about the dis
appearance Of a Newport man and a young
girl, aged about sixteen, who have poth
left town under somewhat sus-
picious circumstances. The man leaving
his wife behind him, hired team to take
him to neighorbing town, where he or
dered his baggage left at the railroad
station although he had, announced mis- in
tention to go there for the purpose of work.
The young girl left town on Tuesday morn
ing's train without saying word to anyone
as to where she was going. Her father is in
another state and she had been living in
the family of the man she is supposed to
have followed.
The mans wife was neutrality-suspicious. of
the evident intentional elopement of the
couple and went to work Tueday morning
at the factory where she is employed.
Hardly had she left home when the girl
packed ur her things and took the first
train.
While Mr.. A. F. Hutchins, who lives in
Greene near Boston's Corner. was after his
COWS few nights ago, masked man en-
tered his house and demanded of Mrs.
Hutchins her money or her life. She struck
at him with cane and he threw her to the
floor and threatened TO riddle her with
bullets. A team drove by just then and the
man fed to the woods.

tariff bill the surprising discovery has been
made by the Treasury Department officials
that no appropriation has been made for
putting into effect the income tax pro-
visions.
The collectors of internal revenue can do
nothing under these circumstances. in the
direction of preparing to collect the tax.
Commissioner Miller states today that the
commission by Congress to make appropri-
alton for carrying into effect the provision
of the income tax schedule of the tariff bill
would not necessarily interfere with the
enforcement of the law by the Treasury
Department, although it may cause some
slight embarrassment. Congress could and
doubtless would at the next session, make
the necessary appropriations of about $780,
700 to pay field agents. All the blank forms,
instructions, etc., could be pl divided in ad-
vance ont of the regular appropriations for
the internal revenue service, and as the in
ccme tax will not go into effect until Janu-
ary !. 1895, and it's collection is not made
compulsory until after March l, 1895, no
serious consequence, he thought, would en-
sue from the failure to provide for the
salaries of field agents and inspectors.
Thinks the President Will Not Sign.
Washington, ss--Auglst 22.-Speaker Crisp
d.today.he feltsvery certain the tariff bill
would become lawswithout the Executive
signature. Congress sswould adjourn within
an hour after this fact becomes known to
the members and the Senators.

Gardiner, August 22,-John Stratton of
Augusta, was cheated out of $3.50 by she'll
game fakirs who are following Cook and
Whitby's circus. The circus played in
Randolph today and it was at the circus
grounds that Mr.. Stratton lost his one hun
dred and fifty hard-earned dollars. He in
vested six dollars and the operator in
formed him that he was the lucky drawer
of $3.50, but he must have another $3.50 to
show before the money could be paid. He
told an acquaintance, who. by the way, is a
prominent business man in Gardiner, and
he not having the money about him bor-
rowed it of another trader, and the two re-
paired to the grounds. The fakir took the
money and pla cling it with another sum of
like amount calmly told the old man that
he had lost and pocketed the money. The
usual rush was made by his pals and the
fellow gotten out of the way very quickly.
and now the Augusta man mourns at the
expense of his experience. 1t is said that a
Randolph butcher is minus Ss5 today on the
same game. The men have not as yet been
arrested as the losers feel SO ashamed that
they will not swear out warrant against
them.

THE WOOL MARKET.
The Market Seems to Be Takinga Rest
After Unusual Activity.

Boston, Mass, August 90 The Amer
lean Wool and Cotton Reporter of to-
morrow will say of the wool market:
After three weeks ofiunprecedented ac-
tivity, quieter market was to be ex-
pected, and the situation at this writing
is the natural sequence of the large sales
made between about the Oath ult. and
the 18th inst; but though the sales
have been smaller and the tone of the
markets naturally somewhat easier,
there is no sign whatever of any weaken
ing. Notwithstanding the advance
abroad, about the 14th inst, in Austral-
ian, of from 1-2d to 1 I'D; domestic
fine woods are considerably higher, thus
if we consider Australian combing and
clothing (clean) worth in bond 40 to 44c.,
Ohio fine wool, in cmparison with them,
would be valued at 43 to A 3-4c. 1t
is, however, TO be remem bered that the
Australian woods, with which the fine
domestic are compared, are skirted.
There may be some more readiness on
the part of holders of domestic fine fleec-
es to sell at average quotations than a
week ago, but there is no apparent dis
position to shade to any extent. In the
country, holders are as firm as ever. The
uCNIetAo hno pCCh RS LII nSOhS Poou3 thio-
cellaneous in character. Low woods
manifest special strength. Perhaps some
offers for territory, which were refused
a week ago, would be accepted today,
but they would be well within the
range of quotations. We quote medium
secured territory 80 to 80 cents; fine me-
dium, "a to 30 cts. fine, 81 to 3S cents;
detective California secured, 28 to 30
cents, fine, 35 to 81 cents; perhaps some-
what higher for choice. Prices OF pulled
wools are firm, and although we do not
change quotations from last week, there
is an upward, tendency.
of Australian sold IN bond; this included
both combing and clothing woods.
In carpet woods the local market may
be described as waiting, but the general
feeling is that if nothing comes up in
the way of the undertaking bugaboo, !"
there will be- chance under the new
law, by close figuring. to do fair bus
mess.
The sales of the week amount to 1, 75S,
600 pounds domestic, and.621 900 pounds
foreign, making a total of 2,379, 900
pounds, against a total of 4,174, $50
pounds for the previous week, and
against a total of IA $50 for the cores
ponding week a year ago. The sales
since January l, 1894, amount to 95,-
Oil, $50 pounds, against II, OF, 1000 pounds
a year ago. The sales for the week in
New York aggregate 446,00 pounds. The
sales for the week in Philadelphia ag-
gregate 614, 800 pounds.

Augusta. August 22.-The golden eagle
which will soon take a stationary perch on
the top of the arch over the approach to the
State House, has arrived. 1t is far superior
to the one that before roasted there. The
wings are well elevated. and the head is
turned to one side. bearing very fierce
look. The gliding is heavy and is said to be
of very good quality. When it is placed up
on the top of the alch to glisten in the sun
it will, no doubt, attract great amount of
attention. The arch is being prepared and
will have much improved appearance when
the work is finished, it being made less
peaked than it was before.
The approach leading to the State House
has undergone repairs under the competent
charge of Gen. Harris, superintendent of the
| State House, consisting of the recementing
between the large slabs, which not
only added to the fine appearance, but to
| the durability of the walk.
| The Cony High school foot ball team went
into active training today under the
captaincy of H. L. Webber. They will mike
a strong fight for tie championship of the
state, which was won by Bangor last year
after a hot tussle with Portland E. B.
| Webster, Harvard, '96, and captain of the
victorious '9l eleven, will coach the team,
assisted by Fred r. Written, Cornell, '97,
who was captain in '92. Games will be
arranged with Portland, Bangor, Water
| vile, Brunswichand Gardiner High schools
| and with Thornton academy, Saco. The
players are taking great interest in their
| work and are determined to retrieve the
laurels which were won by Bangor last
| year. Mr.. E. B. White of this city, man
| thoroughly coL1 ersaLt with foot ball,
| tactics, is now at work upon several diff
| cult plays which will be put into operation
! this year.
| The E. B. Sears company was organized

vas received with great applause. He
advisedsthe weavers to stand firm and
insist that the settlement when reached,
shall coneede their rights The state
ments of Andrew 6. Pierce, relative to
the lengthenlng OF cuts was untrue. He
said that the cuts were heightened from
time to time, without notice of their in
tention, by the mill to do SO being Civ
en- the weavers. 1t was given out on
good authority today that the Wamsutta
mills are not going to pay by the pound
according to their notices, but the per
cut system will be the standard of pay
ment, for when the wage list was COM
pleted in several mills on the basis of the
pound payment,it was found it practi-
caliy increased the pay of the weavers 10
to Is per cent. Several mill managers
ordered the overseers to make up the pay
roll on the old system. 1t was reported
tonight the second hands and oyerseers
of Columbia and Bennett mills are or
dered to report for work Monday morn
ing, as the mills would start up at that
time. This is understood to mean wages
will be on the old schedule. Seventeen
families have returned to Canada since
the strike started. Special daily services
are being held in the French church dur
ing the strike.

A LOCKOUT ORDERED.
ALI the Mills in Fall River Will
Close Tonight.
NEARLY $4,000 PEOPLE WILL BE
THROWN OUT OF WORK.

The Trouble Has Spread to suncook, New
Hampshire, and 400 Employees Went
On Strike There Yesterday-The Situ-
alton at the Strike Centers Give Little
Promise of an Early Settlement.
FallRiver, Mass, August 22.- 3umors
are afioat here tonight to the effect that
all the mills in this city are ordered to
close tomorrow night at u. The order
will include every mill in the city ex-
cept those controlled by the Fall River
Iron Works. 1t has been learned be-
yond question that the executive COM
mittee of the Manuf facturers' Associa-
tioE this afternoon voted to order all
mills under their control to close tomor-
row night for an indefinite period, prob
ably four weeks, or until the operatives
feel like returning to the looms. The
order comes wholly unexpected on, the
part of the operatives, and was not
looked for by many manufacturers. 1t
is thought the order will meet with a
general response, although it does not
emanate from the Manufacturers AS
sociaticn as a whole. 1t is understood
Gne executive committee decided to take
the government of the association into
its own hands in accordance with the
custom in vogue some years ago. Its re-
ported action is the result of the agree
ment entered into by the manufacturers,
by which they promised to support the
idle mills in the event of an unsuccess-
full attempt made to enforce the cut
down and keep the mills in full opera
tion. The lockout will be sore disap-
pointment to large body of operatives
who recently voted to accept the cut
down pending the approach of better
times, and will be hailed with delight
by the weavers who partially enforced
the idleness of most of the operatives.
The order will imply the throwing 49,
600 people out of employment and the
stoppage of plants variously estimated
at from $40, 100000 to $50, 600, 600 in val
ue. No one seems able to predict how
long the lockout will continue. 1t is
generally expected it will go on unless the
market shows some improvement. A
| manufacturer states he will be mighty
glad of chance to restore wages and
go back to the high prices all around,
but fears the present advance in goods
is only temporary, and shut down will
be followed bysa reduction of wages al
| ready announced.
