should study the idea OF keeping out OF
their own way, and then use their right
hand instead OF the left paw work. Their
goal tender managed TO get out OF the
way several times which saved his neck.
The Woodbines have lost two men,
Lambert and Foster, who have joined the
Camp Streets OF Providence, and Crowley
was OFF on account OF sickness. Young
Dawson did the work OF two men while
Tibbltts and Maynard were the other sub

TROUBLE TO BE SUPPRESSED
A Threat to Blow Up Railway OH
cials House With Dynamite.

BRIDGEPoRT, Conn, Jan. "a. - The
Traction company yesterday made an at
tempt to run their cars independently of
their old employees and succeeded. Ten
cars were sent over the main line without
any special incident, except the arrest Of
youth caught placing big stone upon
the track.
As the non-union men who took the
cars out were confronted with no more
serious subsequent demonstrations than
here and there an occasional vocal out
burst from the crowds of sympathizers
with the strikers, who, after the closing of
the factories lined the principal streets
through which the cars run.
At the corner Of Main and Congress
streets. where the mob last Sunday upset
and set fire to one of the Traction COM
pany's cars, the police kept the crowd
moving, and the scenes of violence which
were expected to occur at that place did
not uiaUerialize.
At the request of Captain Birmingham,
who saw that the police force was played
out and sadly in need of nights rest, the
company decided not to attempt to run
any cars last night.
The cars were sent out on regular
schedule time today, however, and will be
run until the usual hour tonight.
Arbitration Given Up.
Mr.. A. X. Logre, who induced the
strikers to return to work last Monday,
says that the men have broken faith with
him and will not continue his efforts at
arbitration.
Colonel Heft says that he has been
warned that his residence, the finest in the
city. is to be blown up with dynamite.
The matter as to whether the police are
competent to cope with extraordinary con-
ditions will be put to full test this even
Ing. Captain Birmingham says that the
cars will be run at all hazards, and that
the reason that the police did not act more
vigorously last Sunday was that higher
authority than himself had ordered that
the police take no strong measures until

The Governors message will be sub
mitted to the Senate and House, but the
latter will In all probability refuse to
have II read and commit 1t to the waste
basket for the sole reason that the hold
over Governor is not considered by the
Democratic House the legal executive OF
Rhode Island.
BY his own act in summarlly prorouging
the legislative session at Newport last
May, the Democrats claim he held on to
the office in defiance OF all precedents, and
by tho same scheme of prorogation, they
say, he will attempt to hold the Office un-
I'll after the next April election.
Some OF the vital passages in the mes
sage Just prepared by Gov Brown show
clearly that this Ia just what the Repubi-
can senate will again endeaver 10 bring
about.
The annual message is much longer and
OF greater moment from political stand
point than any which has been prepared
for a long time.
Gov. Brown defends the acts OF the Re-
publicans In not counting the ballots cast
at the last April election, and cites the
Supreme Court decisions In the James
town election case and I'm the later
opinion regarding the contention OF the
Democrats In relation to a grand COM
mittes In defense OF his acts.
There IL adverse and caustic criticism Of
the doings OF the present Democratic ma
jority in the House OF Representatives
and In certain passages the Democratic
House is held upto ridicule and contempt.
Many Of the usual recommendation are
made and unusual attention is given the
State liiary, together with review OF
the troubles which caused the courts Of
inquiry and courts martial of recent date.
The Republican Senate has devised a
scheme to pass the annual appropriation
bills, send them to the House and await
concurrant action for couple OF days,
then IL the House delays consideration to
force an adjournment until after the next
April election.
This will leave the holdover Governor
I'm office an entire year without knowledge
OF the official result of the ballots cast
last April, and In the face Of Democratic
Legislative majority which is required to
convene and elect under the constitution.
An effort will be made in the House to
send resolution to the Senate asking for
the grand committee To count the ballots

The Senate will reject this,
The contest is vigorous one, and
| Speaker Owen states that "the House
would very righteously kick out Browns
annual message; that the Governor can
not adjourn the Assembly in any such

JACKSON.
Their Battle Will Probably
Come Off Next June.
Mitchell Has No Complaint to Make-Duval
Club Goes Under.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 27.-The fight between
Corbett and Jackson next June will likely
take place in England. jackson, who is
playing at local theater, received intelli-
gencs that Corbett preferred the contest
to come of on the other side of the water.
Both men, II Is said, are satisfied that
the principals in the next mill fought In
this country will encounter even greater
bstacles than In the last one, and for that
reason they would willingly agree to 60
to England IL the inducement Of a large
purse was offered. jackson states that he
would meet the champion on English
soil, or anywhere In the country north Of
the Mason and Dixon line, but he wo uld
not fight In the south.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 27.-Charley
Mitchell handed the following dispatch
to the stah correspondent of the New
York World, with the request that IL be
telegraphsd to New York:
81 would have complied with tbs re-
quest made by your representative to
write q letter explaining what I at
tributed my defeat 70. but considered u
better to wait until ] could do so after .
a nights rest and calm reflection.
''All can say Is that went against q
weightier man than myself, and was
beaten. My friends and many observers
claimed he fought foul, but / have no
complaint to make. l did my best and
suffered defeat. have no i'll feeling
against the victor and am certain that he
Is well able to represent America pugi
listically, and do so creditably and honor
ably.
"P. s. would Ike to do as requested
and describe the sensation that . man
feels when he n knocked out, but do not
consider IL within the range Of human
possibility to do So"
J. k. T. Bowden says that the Duvsl
club took In t3l 900 in admissions to the
fight, and out of this the $40, 900 purse and
5000 training expenses Of the principals
had to come, making a balance to the
clubs credit of $1,000, and out Of this lat
ter fees and other expenses have to be
met. 1--WE are $4,000 loser by the gov
ernor's interference" he said. His state
ment IL generally accepted with a grain
of salt.
The old Duval club no longer exists II
broke up in a row yesterday. Some hard
names passed between one of the mem
bers and Bowden, whose management
was severely criticised. Bowden has
washed his hands of the whole business.
After the reconciliation Mitchell sug-
gested that Corbett and he might spar to-
gether the week of Feb. %, when the
Florida trial comes up. Corbett said he
would leave the whole thing in Mitchell's
hands and would help him out as much
as possible. Mitchell has also asked to
spar with Corbett on his first appearance
in London.

cARLISLE's BOND PLAN.
Has Done Much Toward Restoring Confidence
In the Business World "A Decided I'm.
proSement In the Industrial Situation.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-R. G. Dun g. Co.'S
Weekly Review Of Trade says: Secretary
Carlisle's decision to issue bonds, and the
early reports of large bids for them, help
to accelerate the recovery Of industries
and trade, as was hoped last week. The
sale of the amount offered will check anx-
iety about maintenance of note redemp-
tion, remove the only pretext for further
issues of paper, and thus give solid basis
for greater confidence regarding the finai4-
cial future.
The industrial gain is more definite
than a week ago. Few establishments
have stopped work, while many have re-
sumsd or increased their production, and
the aggregate increase is considerable.
Reductions in wages continue, and about
quarter of them are 20 per cent, the rest
ranging from : to IL per cent.
Textile industries have increased their
working force, mainly in knit goods,
underwear and carpets, though several
woolen mills have started and others are
reported about to start.
Cottons are not stimulated. ss was
hoped by the reductions announced, and
the effect has been to make buyers of
other goods hold of, so that the market
is weaker.
Carpets report improvement, especially
In lower grades, and orders to replenish
stocks are nearly "a large as year ago.
The shoe and leather trades appear to
gain little, though shipments from Bos-
ton for the week are again "a per cent
smaller than last year.
Sales Of wool are larger, amounting at
the chief markets to 4,033 200 pounds.
against 5,66l $50 for the same week last
year; but prices at Philadelphia are l-2
cent TO l cent lower, while at New York
there is more inquiry from carpet and
other mills.
In overcoatings no samples of promi-
nent makes are yet shown nor prices
named, and the kerseys opened are from
Is to IS cents below last years prices
Worsteds appear To have stronger posi-
tion, and better business In dress goods
II generally reported for the week.
Produce markets have been decidedly
dull, though wheat for May fell ut one
time to the lowest point on record
Coffee and petroleum are a shade lower.
Cotton has advanced a shade, although
receipts continue heavy.
Domestic trade is the key of the situa-
tion, and clearings outside New York are
"a per cent smaller than year ago
This is partly because the average price OF
commodities is 1873 per cent lower than a
year ago having fallen 43 per cent since
Oct |, while British prices. according to
the London Economist, fell as per cent
Oct I to Jan. |.
Failures in the United States were 43O
this week, against 255 last year, and b5 I'm
Canada, against ~ last year. All small.

ported this year, amount to 3,G8s, 800, OF

with charming ladies and handsome men.
1t was the eleventh annual ball OF St.
Mary's Christian Doctrine Society, an
event that has been looked forward to for
months by the young people of this city.
IL has always been a leading social
event, but this year II seems as though
the society and committee surpassed
themselves, and II is safe to say that the
gathering OF last evening will eclipse any
affair OF the kind this season.
The costumes Of the ladies' were beauti-
ful, in charming contrast to the black
dress suits Of their happy partners, and
the music from the Alpine Orchestra
combined with scented air and many
lights reminded an onlooker OF some
fairy scene.
The grand march was led by General
Floor Director James +. Moriarty and
Miss Lizzie Trsinor were followed by
about eighty handsome couples.
There were twenty-four numbers on the
programme and each one was thoroughly
enjoyed. At intermission supper was
served. The efficient committee OF ar.
