0IneyviIIe Strikers Assist
ance From the Union.
The Loss TO Workmsn Now Amounts
to About 5000.
Operatives Are Becoming Restless at
the Way the Strike is Progressing.

The sixth week of the Atlantic strike
ends today, and the fifth weekly allow
ance to the union help is being paid out.
The loss at the Atlantic and other mills
now aggregates s175. 900. 1t is piling up at
the rate of CSC, 900 per week in loss Of wages
to operatives. The idlepess OF the mills
causes loss to the manufacturers and the
loss Of this payroll is bound to cause q
general depression of business and de-
probation Of property in this community.
The merchants are not inclined TO give
credit that would result in their ultimate
loss or possible financial ruin.
Today q local grocer gives notice that
he will close out until the 9th, and then
sell his entire stock at auction.
The mills are running of all the samples
they desire, and the attempt to stop 1t
on the part Of the executive COMMITTEES
has proved dismal failure.
The managers of the strikers are can
siderably nettled over certain newspaper
reports and worried that news Is accepted
by the press representatives from
any other source than except press
committee whose object, it seems, is to
suppress and withhold the true condition
of affairs from becoming known to the
public whom they know are too intelli-
gent to believe that papors of standing
and credibility are publishing any other
than the actual facts in readable and
comprehensive manner.
The general lelp are becoming restless
at the prolon cation OF the strike and are
ready, in O measure, TO announce them
selves In readiness to resume work again.
Considering the desire OF the help to re-
turn to work and the utter helplessness
of any OF them to assert themselves, and
so openly declare for fear OF being called
scab, Is to be deplored.

Oscar Looked As Haggard As
Usual In Court.
No New Points Of Any importance
We're Made Evidence Repeated
Wilde's Conference with His Two
Supporters Commented Upon.

LONDON, May 2s.--The Old Bailey court
was again crowded today, when the trial
of Oscar Wilde was resumed. Wilde en-
tered the court room looking as haggard
as usual, and stood for some time at the
foot of the jury box conversing with the
the Rev. Stewart Headlam, the clergy
who has acted as one of his bondsmen,
and who is standing by him in his trou-
BILE. They were joined later on by Lord
Douglas OF Hawick, whose eye is still dis
colored as result OF his encounter with
his father, the Marquis OF Queensberry.
The Marquis of Queensberry was also in
court, looking jaunty and confident. He
watc he'd Wilde closely and paid great at
tention to the evidence. Wilde, 1t was
noticed, carefully avoided returning the
gaze OF the Marquis. Wilde, Lord Doug
las of Hawick and the Rev. Stewart Head
lam remained in earnest conversation un-
til the Judge took his seat, and then they
carefully listened to all the testimony fur
nished, evidently weighing every word
uttered as studiously as counsel on both
sides. The earnest conversation of the
trio was an incident which attracted
much attention, and was considerably
commented upon. When the case was re-
opened the evidence furnished at the pre-
vious trial was repeated in detail, no new
points of any Importance being made.

COLLEGE ATHLETICS.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May g3.-The Yale
track team will leave tomorrow morning on
the e:3O O'Clock train for New York. This is
the first year that the preliminary heats will
be run off on Friday.
This is also the FIRST year that Western uni

OF Iowa of Michigan, and of California, have
some strong entries, and this may change the
results. But the Yale team are in fine condi-
tion, and the students have great hopes of
winning the cup. The strong points are the
weights, broad jump, and mile walk, with
places in the hurdle. At present il looks as If
all depended on Richards in the sprints. II

tions from the court, found a verdict for the

him with embezzling. AT the conclusion OF
tho testimony for the State, attorney Walter
+. Angel called the attention Of the court to
the fact that lie Jeuno Was charged with en-
bezzling from N. B. waldron and others, and

man and Nelson W. Aldrich and that the lat
tor only received interest on the capital in
vested by him in the concern, and did not
bear any share Of the losses or receive any
profits from the firm. The court decided as
above stated. Tho Attorney General asked
that the reason for the verdict be incorporated
therein. The court granted the motion under
the provisions OF the judiciary act. The case
was decided on the use in the indictment OF
the word "others," instead of other. Judge
Wilbur then told the prisoner that he might

the plaintiff had charged exorbitant fees {;
that he had gone 10 Omaha, Neb., as the bust
ness manager of Mrs Winch mother of the
wife of the defendant, and not TO render pro-
fessional services for the defendant or his

Murder Confessed While in
That State.
The Man Convicted of the Crime VIII
Have New Trial.

ANDERSON, Ind, May Civilian
Kelly has been discharged from jail. He
was arrested as an accomplice to George
Hires in the murder of William Foust at
the house OF Margaret Bolton, in
Ellwood, q year ago. Mrs. Bolton was
present at the killing. George Hires was
convicted and sentenced to 10 years. inn
prisonmept as the murderer. Then
Mrs. Bolton made q statement that
she had been sworn falsely on the
witness stand, and that she herself fred
the fatal shot in the presence of Kelly.
After much searching Kelly was foand
and arrested near Rochester, Ind. Last
Saturday Judge Ellison consented to have
Mrs. Bolton put in hypnotic state, which
was done, and while in this state she said
her former statement was not true, and
that Hires is the murderer; hence the dis
charge of Kelly by the grand jury. A.
motion for new trial for Hires, growing
out of the complications, is pending.

wearing the uniform OF the police force
OF Providence committing deliberate per-
jury, and it is too much for the State to
ask you to convict on testimony"
Judge Wilbur had, as Mr.. Owen began
his remarks, called Attorney General Du-
bois to him, and in a very few minutes
that official asked Mr.. Ovens permission
to interrupt him, and then said: "At the
suggestion of the Court consent to a YER.
dict for the defendant"
The Court then said: "Mr. Foreman you
are directed to find a verdic. for the de-
fendsnt in this case. The reason"
continued his honor, "why you are or
dered to do so Is that there is no
proof that the defendant had this weapon
concealed, il he had it, for he had right
to cary 1t in his hand exposed to view,
and IL the officers put it in his pocket to
get case against him they did wrong.
There is here, however, grsver
charge of perjury, for it was a
very serious thing for the officers to swear
to one thing before the police committee
of the City Council and then give different
testimony here. i have directed the At
torney General to lay this matter before
the Grand Jury at its session next
month"
The court then ordered the prisoner
discharged and his bail released. The
case caused great deal Of comment
around the court house, and the
members Of jury that heard the
evidence in the case, as we'll as the
Court, were greatly moved by the testi-
mony. The criticism OF the reliability of
the officers testimony in regard to the
placing of the billy in Pryor's pocket by
counsel for the defendant at first was
treated with smile, but the CONSERVATION
caused by the production of the testimony
given before Alderman Fullers commit
tee was something unusual in court rooms
in this city. The police officer interested
smiled very broadly when counsel for the
defendant denounced them as periurers
'tut the stinging words OF Judge Wilbur
made them look and feel pretty serious.
