But He Was Complained Of at the ollce

Through a Course of Sprouts.

Yesterday Mr.. T. Fl. johnson the coal
dealer on Commercial street complained
at the police station that he had been
came to his office with bill of the res
taurant of A. G. Arey on Middle street.
He solicited an advertisement from
Mr.. johnson to be printed on this bill
of fare and said that Mr.. Arey had sen
him. Since Mr. Arey had business re-
lations with Mr.. Johnson the latter con
cluded that the young man was all
advertisement. He also gave him his
business card. The young man gave
him a receipt for the dollar. and signed
his name ,'William Dane"
| After he had gone Mr.. johnson noticed
that he had left the business card behind.
He began to suspect that he had thrown
dollar away and therefore informed
the police. Deputy Sterling sent an fiji
Ger and learned that Arey positively
denied sending the man to johnson. So
did Mr. Gross, Arey's partner.
| The young man was arrested and
brought to the station last evening.
| Deputy Sterling questioned him so
sharply that he squirmed like an eel in a
frying pan although he is evidently a
very slick speaking individual when he
isn't cornered.
He had to admit that Mr.. Arey didn't t
send him to Mr.. johnson. He said that
his name was William Daniels of st.
Paul. MINI.
Chow do you spell it?" said Deputy
Sterling.
He said that it was spelled "Daniels. +"
"That isn't the way you spelled it on
the receipt
He made a remark about being poor
penman but Deputy Stelling had seen
just such poor penmen before.
He told the young man that Portland
wasn't the place for him and that he
must go to johnson in the morning and
that if johnson wasn't satisfied with
the business contract they had made he
must return the dollar and if he didn't
that he would ind himself locked up on
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. The man went off and it is
very doubtful if he solicits any more ad-
vertisements in this city.

A Lively Runaway.

Yesterday afternoon as number of
teams were crossing Tukey's bridge,
horse driven by woman took fright at
locomotive that passed under the over
head bridge on the Marginal way. Her
horse ran into buggy occupied by a
man who was holding a great pane of
glass with one hand The buggy was
turned completely over, the cross bar
broken, and the fender bent fiat. The
man was thrown out, the glass cut him
badly in the arm, and his clothes were
badly torn. His horse cleared himself
and ran. Mr.. George kStaples took tn
man into his carriage and chased the
horse which was caught by boy on the
other side of the bridge. The woman
drove to Knapp's store and asked if her
carriage was all rig ht, and on being in
formed that it was, proceeded. The 9th
er teams on the bridge started to run and
it was with much difficulty they were
restrained.

Threatened Labor War at Fall River
Ayerted.
THE OPERATIVES HAVE ALREADY

Counselled Avoiding Another Strike
The Vote Overwhelmingly Against
Further Trouble.
uFall River, Mass. September 90. After
weeks of wordy agitation the weavers
union voted almost unanimously tonight
not to strike for an advance in wages.
The meeting was held in Music Hall,
which was much overcrowded, and 6here
was great amount of noise from time
to. time. The sentiment was so over
whelmingly against strike that there
was no great discussion, and the meet
ing did not last more than 35 minu tes.
The officers were prepared to issue bal
lots to every one present if it was de-
cided that ballot was necessary but
the temper of the assembly was so clearly
manifested on every possible occasion,
that the idea of taking ballot was
dropped.

ufacturers at this time. Secretary White
head made the principal address of the
evening. He presented figures showing
that since 1898 the Fall. River operatives
have lost, $5, 600, 600 in one. form or anoth-
er. Among many causes were the big
strike last year, consisting Of SO, 600. 600 in
wages alone; two severe reductions of
wages amounting to about % per cent
of the total wages paid and the stoppages
such as depression, improvements, re-
pairs, and SO on. Secretary Whitehead
asked if, in the face of these great losses
the weayers present would be willing to
enter into another strike that would
mean only loss of money, but loss of
needed food and clothing.
All of the secretary's talk was against
striking He gave his hearers to clearly
understand the sympathy of the bust
ness men could not be with them in an
other fight at this time.
A vote was called for many times 1t

than dozen persons in the crowded hall
declared themselves in favor of losing
work. After the vote was given out
Secretary Hart of the weavers union OF
New Bedford addressed the meeting and
explained why he would not be received
with the weavers who are to confer with
New Bedford manufacturers The drift
of his remarks was that he talked too
straight and told too many truths that
mill men did not want to hear.
Several manufacturers were about town
waiting for the announcement of the re-
suit and they were neither very much
elated nor affected as far as talk or ap-
pearances indicated. There is a deep un-
dercurrent of feeling in the city against
the management of the weavers union
for allowing the agitation to reach the
stage it did tonight 1t has been long
drawn out and has paralyzed business
here the past two weeks. 1t has hampered
the progress of the cloth market greatly
by making contracts uncertain. The gen.
eral business public is we'll pleased that
the affair ended ps acefuly.

A STRANGE AND PATHETIC CASE.
A Home Broken Up and Child Testifiel
to Mothers Shame.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.1

Augusta, September 2O-There was q
strange and pathetic sight in the court
house here today. A little girl Of ap-
parently not more than fourteen was on
the witness stand glibly answering
questions as to the relations of her
mother and man not the mothers hus-
band Nearby sat the mother of the little
witness and she held baby a few months
old, perhaps the most unfortunate being
in the crowded room, for it is the
mothers allegation that the defendant in
the case is the father of the child that
brings the matter before the jury. The
little girl in the witness box is very
pretty. She has attractive features and
flaxen hair which falls in curls over her
shoulders. She was becomingly dressed
and perfectly at ease, smiling confid-
ingly on the judge and jury as she told
her story of the relations of her mother
and the defendant--a story which seemed
to amuse her, perhaps because she did
not fully realize all its meaning.
The case is that Of Lousia M. jackson
against Fred S. Thorne and Is one OF
several suits growing out Of the alleged
wrong doing of the pair. Mr.. Thorne is
Gardiner man, the head Of beef com
pany there and reputed to be worth from
$50, 600 to $75, 900. He is married. Mrs.
jackson is now single. her husband
having procured q divorce on the
statutory ground last fall in a suit IN
which Fred S. Thorne was named as the
correspondent The defendants did not
appear at the trial. Previous to this
jackson had sued Thorne for alternating
his wife's affections and Thorne compro-
missed by paying jackson $2, 600. At
about the time jackson sued Thorne the
latter and Mrs. jackson were indicted for
their alleged offence, but the case was
not pressed against them. Now Mrs.
jackson has set the wheels in motion in
two cases against Thorne. One is that
now on trial and the other is case in
the Supreme Court where Mrs. jackson
seeks to recover damages for breach OF
promise of marriage.
The present case is brought in the Su-
perior Court before Judge Hall. Hon.
Leroy f. Carleton appears for Mrs. Jack
son and Mr.. Thorne is represented by
Hon. Herbert M. Heath, and George
Heselton, Esq. AS he appeared In court
today Thorne looked to be about 35, a
stout man, with black hair and
moustache.
Among the witnesses for the prosecu-
tion examined today were Mrs. Jackson's s
mother, the daughter before referred to
and the husband, who got the 81, 900 and
the divorce. The husbands testimony
was not put in, being deferred until a
later point, in the trial after some OBJ
jections had been made to it by the re-
spondent's counsel. The other two wit
nesses testified that Thorne and Mrs.
Jackson had lived together IN apartments
on Water street in Gardiner and that
Thorne supplied Mrs. jackson with
money and provisions. DR.. Friend, who
attended Mrs. jackson, testified that she
declared Thorne to be the father of the
child

REVOLUTION WILL TRIUMPH.
General Gomez Details the Situation in
Cuba-spanish Re-inforcements Will Ar
rive too Late,

Philadelphia, September 20.-A letter
was received today written August 80
by Gen. Gomez, commander-in- chief of
the Cuban army at his headquarters at
Camaguey. The letter was addressed to
the secretary Of the Cuban Revolution
ary party in the United States and sums
up the conditions of military affairs in
the excited island, and. being written
on the eve Of constituting o revolution
the Cubans to raise loans for the Iepub-
lie in the United States. The letter in
p art is as follows:
"Dear comprehensive are on the eve
of the co Institution of government
Representatives of the state of Santiago
de Cuba, Major Rafael Portuondo, DR..
Engineers r. Augurilla and Major
Manao Sanchez have arrived, and those
of Camaguay, headed by Marquis of
Santa Luzia, are waiting for those ap-
pointed by the state of Lasillas to form
an assembly and elect an executive and
cabinet, appoint with sufficient powers our
ministers abroad, especially diplomatic
agent in the United States, who will be
authorized to raise loans for the republic.
We have been very happy to receive the
expeditions of Gen. Roloff and Sanchez
in las Villas and that of Gen. Jose
Maria Roderequez in this province,
and just now have heard the welcome
news of the arrival of Col Francisco
Sanchez S. Echeverria, who landed with
great number of arms safely in Bara
Goa. With a few more expeditions we
will be able to arm the rest of our in
creasing forces and resist the winter cam
paign and extend our occupation to
nE
sure of our men in hazardous expeditions.
AS to the war carried on against us, the
Spanish have done little to diminish our
growing strength. They are on the de-
fensive in this region and dare not at
tack us to such an exent that l have been
forced to surprise and besiege their garri-
son and towns capturing Rhn many hanarea
Vietas and lPurto Principe their strategic
line, has be en- gradually Interrupted and
partially destroyed. The tactics of the
enemy are to not publish any accounts
of our numerous engagements and to
make the world believe there Is no war
in this section. The late personal defeat
of Gen. Martenez Campos at the hands
of the brave Gen. Maceo has caused the
prestige and fame of the Spanish general
to suffer great loss, and the morale of
his troops to be endangered. Campos
has not been able with all his sagacity
and studied malice to hide or better
efface the effect Of such failure. We
cannot give you a detailed account of
our operations. 1t would be long and
tedious. l can only tell you that in five
months of the campaign the enemy have
been able to measurthe wonderful strength
of the Cuban forces, and thus it is that
Gen. Campos has hurriedly called for
large re-enforcements. My :opinion as
a military man, given without passion
or vanity, is thatythey..will arrive too
late. The revolution is assured. 1t does
not make any difference whether fall
and the others die also. The revolution
will go on till it triumphs. "
