The condition at the Lymansville mills
IL unchanged. Weavers have come from
other places some coming recently from
Hartford, but they are persuaded to stay
out and have their fares paid home. On
the other hand the owners are putting
out no efforts To get help and seem TO be
perfectly willing that the present condi-
tion Of affairs should continue. They are
willing to start up IL they have the help,

tion that makes strike hopeless.

THEY NEED MONEY.


to Increase Its Debt.
The Senate committee on judiciary gave
hearing this morning on the application
of the town of North Providence to in
crease its debt in excess OF 5 per cent. All
the members OF the committee were pre-
sent and listened to the statements that
were made BY the taxpayers.
Senator Whipple said that the town
was in peculiar situation. At the
last town meeting the taxpayers had
appropriated twice as much money
for local improvements as there was
in the treasury. They were anxious to
have arailroad in the town and the Union
Railroad Company consented to enter the
town Il the streets were placed in aproper
made to do this and the town
now owed its laborers nearly $1,000.
This must be paid and It would be impos-
sible to carry on the work without some
money. The property OF the town was
valued at about II 800 600. 1t had a
bonded indebtedness of $4,000 and q
floating debt of nearly $4,000.
Town Treasurer Angel said that IL was
absolutely necessary that some such ac-
.ion should be taken, for there was no
other way In which the town could pay
its balance. All the bills were OF the
most urgent character, and some
Of OF the men men had had already threat,
all the unpaid taxes were paid he would
have less than 5000, and there were i'm
provements that would have to be made II
the town expected the Union Railroad
Company to lay its tracks before Nov. 1.
Mr.. Hill spoke In favor Of the act, and
Mr.. Woodward opposed its passage. He
said that while he was in favor OF paying
the debts of the town he thought that
the council had already gone too
far in making its improvements.
Mr.. Gould expressed practically the
same opinion, and after the members of
the committee had questioned Senator
Whipple and Mr.. Angel they took the
matter under consideration, and the re-
port will be presented to the Senate to-
morrow.

Little Prospect Of Any Real

The members OF the Legislature are

House 10 meet in grand committee, and
viii deliver carefully prepared address
in support OF the measure. lie IL a
fluent and impressive speaker, and
little sympathy. The resolution will
be referred to the judiciary committee or
slaughtered on the spot. The House Will
get together, and probably pass another
grand committee resolution. Having en-
dorsed the resolution returning the Gov
ernor's message without reading to the
Senate, they may labor under the hallucl-
nation that that honorable body will swal-
low the insult and flock down stairs. A
caucus has been called after the adjourn
ment tomorrow TO decide upon a line OF
policy contingent upon the anticipated
Senate resolution of adjournment, as re-
suit OF the House action, with reference to
the message. 1t is thought that
another week may be frittered
then the initiative will be taken in dis
persing the two bodies to their respective
abodes. The constitutional orators of the
light weight rank are holding Office recep-
tions today, and are framing other manu-
scripts for exhibition. Some of them are
chewing Brownies bronchial troches

being highly complimented for his shrewd-
ness and diplomacy in resisting the attacks
of the majority, and even Bre'r Honey
paid tribute To. his honesty and manly at
titude. Ii is no trifiing task to retain
ones self-possession and dignity when
confronted by such rampant qemagogues
as monopolized the debate, but the mi
nority leaders defined the party position
with such unmistakable clearness that the
Democracy will not find it necessary to
ask for any further explanations.

NEGRO DESPERADOES.
Boldly Attempted to Rob a Train on
the 1T. Wayne Road Last Night.
By The Associated Press.

By The associated Press.
CHICAGO. Feb. 15.--Two colored high
waymen made desperate attempt to rob
the passengers in one OF the day
coaches OF the 1880 train on the Fort
Wayne road soon after it left the
Union depot last night. Just as the train
was about to cross the bridge at Sixteenth
street, where the engineer is required to
run slow, the negroes entered day coach
A passenger who was i'm a seat near the
door, and who was on his way to VAL
paraiso, Ind, was struck by one of the
-nsen-a- violent -blow-on the head, while
the other began to go through his pock-
cts. A dozen passengers witnessed the
assault and went to the assistance of the
Valparaiso man. The desperadoes flour
ished their revolvers and fired several shots
into the top OF the car. Two of the
passengers then drew their revolvers and
fired at the highwaymen, and it is believed
one of them was wounded. AS soon as
the passengers began to make use OF their
revolvers the negroes sprang off the train.

McKANE NOT DISTURBED.
He May Get two Years and He May
Get Ten.

BIZ The Associated Press.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 15.-John Y. McKane
looked pretty cheerful when the Sheriff
took him into the court room this morn
ing. The delay of the jury in reaching a
verdict evidently gave him and his coun-
sci grounds for believing that there
would be disagreement.
The officers could not prevent an enor-
nous crowd from collecting and making a
loud hum, but when Justice Bartlett came
in at 9:30 hush fell over the burgers.
The judge made it known that he would
hold court open ali day.
At IL :35 the jury came in, and on being
formally questioned byClerk Byrne stated
that the verdict was guilty.
McKane's face did not change very much
but the friends around him showed dis
tress. The penalty for the offense proven
is from two to 10 years Imprisonment.
The jury made recommendation for
mercy.
McKane was at once taken to Raymond
street Jail to await sentence, which is to
be pronounced on Monday morning.
An appeal to the general term and to the
Court of Appeals stand however in the
way OF execution of the sentence, what
ever 1t may be.
