schooner Ellen, while on voyage from

Venezuelan gunboat.
Capt. Truxillo. owner and master OF
the schooner and Britisher, sent up the
British ensign to the masthead but the
gunboat sentEanother shot which rent
the schooner's sails. Capt. Truxilo was
compelled to heave to and the gunboat
came alongside. The captain, passengers
and crew were forced to enter a small
boat where they were detained four hours
Meantime the Venezuelans had searched
the ship, but finding nothing to detain
her, they were allowed to continue the
voyage

MRS. eETcHELL's CASE.
A Rumor that the Sidney Poisoner VIII
Not Get New Trial.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.]

Augusta, August 15.-It is rumored
that Mrs. Getchell, convicted of poison
ing her husband in Sidney in 1894, and
whose case was argued before the Law
Court last week by Hon. Herbert M.
Heath, is not likely to get new trial.
The granting of new trial to James
Lewis. convicted of the Gorham murder,
has of course aroused some hope in the
minds of Mrs. Getchell's friends. But rs
nearly as can be learned these hopes are
groundless. 1t is very unusual for the
law court to grant new trials to persons
convicted Of murder. One of the oldest
judges of the Supreme Court says he does
not know of another case where a new
trial has been granted in murder case
similar to the Lewis case.

SIR CHARLES WILSON TALKS.
New President of the Grand Trunk system
Here in the Interest of BIS Road and
Rates.

New York, August 15.-SIr Charles
Wilson, the new president OF the Grand
Trunk railroad, arrived here yesterday
from London on the Majestic he was
accompanied by Mr.. A. Smlthers, one
OF the directors of the company, and MIR.
Henry Oppenhem of London, who Is q
friend of Sir Charles.
The new president was met by Mr.. l..
J. Sergeant, the general manager OF the
road. Sir Charles visit is for the double
purpose of inspecting the road and at
tending the meeting of the executive
committee of the Trunk Line association,
which is to be held here tomorrow.
Sir Charles was at the Windsor Hotel
yesterday afternoon. In speaking of the
meeting, he said:
The meeting will be an important one
in many respects. Its purpose IS 20 con-
slider the question of rates, and is natural
ly Of the greatest interest to the Grand
Trunk road The matter OF rates Is an
issue of life and death to the carrying in
terests. The best solution of the question
would be a pooling bill, but III the
absence of that the best course is to do
what we can to reach an agreement;

now, and whether it will be lived up to
with more probity, I cannot tell.
81 came here principally to become
acquainted with the American officers OF
the company, to gain a knowledge OF the
Grand Trunk property, and generally to
get an idea of the situation, for have
never seen the property of the road and
have as yet no adequate knowledge OF its
affairs -
In speaking of the silver question, he
said
II have no opinion ON it as a matter of
politics, for have no knowledge OF your
politics. Indeed, fail entirely to under
stand them. But may say that, as an
old monometallist, am delighted to see
signs that the silver craze is dying out.
know that your craze here has been
strengthened by reports from England
that bimetallism was receiving attention
there. The truth is that the talk there is
made out of the same material that it is
here. A certain number of men are
spending money to get up the appearance
of movement in favor of bimetallism,
just as your silver men here are spending
theirs for the same purposes | certainly
am glad to see that the attempt seems to
be failure, and am glad that you have
a president who can be trusted to act in
te1ligently in such important matters.'
Sir Charles will go from here to
Montreal in few days, and will travel
along the entire Grand Trunk line road
He will then return to New York. sailing
for England by tho Germanic on Septem.

MlLLMEN's ATTITUDE.
They Concede That the Outlook is Brighter
But Think Wages Will Not Be Advanced.

Fall River, August 15.-The Manu-
facturers who will talk about the attitude
of the textile unions on the wage question
do not give much encouragement on an
advance. They concede the outlook is
brighter, and dividends have been fair
and prices tending upwards. Despite these
things they contend that the operatives
and their friends are losing sight of the
fact that cotton is two cents pound
higher today than year ago. and every
thing else connected with the running Of
the mills is tending upwards, and they
see nothing in the outlook to warrant
the belief they will go lower Millmen
say that dividends are very largely the
result Of speculation in cotton.
