FRIGHTENED.
Girls Induced to Stop Work
by Gigantic Nerve.
Were Not Willing to Be Recorded in
the Book as Scabs.
New Feature to Increase the Force of
Strikers at Olneyville.

There was an exposure of "pretty
how in Olneyville this afternoon
which, 1t is thought, will not reflect
much credit on one OF the strikers
committees, at least. 1t seems
that at 1 O'Clock some young women,
who are drawers-in at the Riverside Mills,
were approached by William j. Welch,
chairman OF the Atlantic Mills strike
committee, and four or five
other members of the same committee
WeIch had ledger or blank book under
his arm and the young women, becoming
suspicious that their names were to be
entered in the book as "scabs," became
frig and begged Welch not to SO
post them.
They were ready to promise most any
thing, and after some discussion, being
completely scared, turned away from the
mill gate and left their work. They
were actually frightened away.
Welch, 1t seems, belongs in Pswtucket
and has nothing to do with Olneyville,
except that the strikers hire him TO do
their dirty work, as ono man puts it.
Furthermore, he had nothing to do with
the Riverside operatives, being engaged
by Atlantic strikers, and his presumption
is characterized as Gigantic nerve"
1t is understood that the names of
"scabs" are collected in these books and
are to be printed and posted on the walls
of Textile Halt.
Considerable excitement was aroused by
this latest ruse, and adverse CRITICS an
freely circulated. IL is not known whether
any action will be taken in the matter or
not.
1t is season OF waiting that is being
experienced and one that Is conceded by
the general public and large per centage
OF the mill workers out to result in the end
to q total defeat OF the aims and purposes
OF the strike that is now approaching two
months duration.
Many OF the operatives are coming to
realize tho hopelessness of their cause as
set forth by their self constituted leaders.
1t is freely stated, and may become a fact
within short time, that some one capa-
bio of leading the help will
come forward in the interest of the
thousands who would like to resume,
and organize the people who desire to
work, and request the mill owners TO
open their works to them, and it is
thought that they could not afford
TO reject the offer OF the help
II such proposition came from
the better class Of workers who
would be the promoters of this move
ment should 1t materalize. This faction
of the wage earners would receive the en-
couragement and moral support OF the
community at large II they should under
take this solution Of the problem that is
confronting this community at present.
This support would 60 far toward inducing
the mill owners to meet them with a
proposition TO let them continue at work
even II a portion of the help persisted In
remaining idle. Enough sample weavers
and helpers are at work now to get out all
the samples required, all efforts of the
radical leaders to the contrary, notwith-
standing.
Meetings are held in the several rooms
each day, which simply serve the purpose
Of holding, in a measure, the help to-
gether.

A FAMOUS SLO0P.
Columbia Burned and Sunk Between
Patience and Prudence Islands.
The Same Boat in Which Boss Tweed
Made His Escape to the West Indies.

Sunday evening, about IL o'clock, a
sloop yacht, about thirty five feet over all,
anchored between Prudence and Patience
islands. She was discovered to be on fire
by Mr.. William Barker who lives upon
Patience Island. The yacht sank about
midnight In the channel where there is a
depth Of IS feet OF water.
Mr.. William shippee, who lives on
Prudence Island, went to Bristol Monday
and procured help to raise her, and
her bows were got out OF the water far
enough to read the name upon the bow.
spirit. The yacht was the Columbia OF
Apponaug. The men were unable TO raise
her far enough to float her upon the beach
with the gearing they had and abandoned
the job until they could get apparatus
from Providence.
Mr.. Fred Gardner was on the Columbia
when she caught fire and escaped from
her ina he small boat, rowing over to East
Greenwich.
The Columbia is famous boat in her
way. She Is one OF the OLD style, broad
beam and low of gunwale kind
OF sloop, but was rightly
considered beauty in her day. Mr..
Curtis Aylsworth OF this city owned her
at one tiipe, and Captain George Searles
OF Apponaug Is her present owner.
Tho special interest attached to the
sinking OF the Columb bia is in the fact
that she was once owned by William
Nj. Tweed, known the country over as
Boss Tweed, and was used by him TO get
TO the island of Cuba when he escaped
from the Ludlow street Jail authorities
on the night OF Dec. 4, 1875.
