WAGES OF THE MULE sPINNERs.
The Manufacturers Asked to Report
Upon a New Schedule.

inc AHhAGu ~ NcpONA
Upon a New Schedule.
Lowell, Mass July 2.-The agents of the
manufacturing corporations of this city
are asked by the mule spinners to report
upon a new schedule of wages by July
8. The new schedule is practically the
same that is already in use in Fall River
and New Bedford. being based upon the
number and quantity Of yarn produced.
There is no uniform system in Lowell, the
mule spinners wages having been calcu-
lated at about a certain sum, and, while
there may not be much difference as to the
wage paid, there is, it is said, considerable
difference in the quantity of yarns pro-
duced, and on this basis, a considerable
difference in the amount actually earned.
The new schedule seeks to systematic
this inequality, and to secure to each spin
ner what he actually earns. The differ
ence in wages which the new schedule
would involve would vary among the Low
ell mills from 10 to 20 per cent, it is said
and while the assurances do not indicate
a willingness on the part of the manu-
facturers for a general increase in the
spinners' wages, there is an appearance
that the schedule as a system of payment
is faVorably considered.

ANDERFERs CONDITION QUEER.
The Manufactures of Fake News
Seems TO lie DnEed.

Seems to lie Dnzed.
Gainesville, Fla, July Frank Ander-
fer. who has been furnishing fake" Gu
ban letters for the Chicago Associated
Press, is still in queer condition. The
man seems to be dazed, and the doctors
are at a loss to understand his condition.
Some claim that he Is shamming, but
others say not.
A telegram has been received from Phil
adelphia stating that Anderfer is not
wanted there. and that the report that
he had robbed his employer was incor-
rect. 1t is now said that Anderfers par
ents reside at Bridgeton, N. j., and that
the family is a respectable one.
Bridgeton, N. j., July 2.-Telegrams have
been received here asking who is Frank
b. Anderfer of Florida, or Cuba, who says
his father is S. A. Anderfer. a promi-
nent farmer near Bridgeton." There is
no such prominent farmer in this coun-
ty. and Frank b. Anderfer is not known
here. There are Anderfers here who be-
lieve they are the only Anderfers-they
and their connectons-in America, but
they know no one by the name given.
The Frank B. Anderfer inquired about
appears to have been sandbagged in Flor
ida.
For several months, Frank B. Ham"
mas Deeh seHulnB letteTs 70 the bIiuBSAoh
newspapers from Cuba. He claims to be
an officer in the insurgent army and his
letters were quite readable, though they
were entirely different In the intelligence
conveyed to anything in the usual press
dispatches from Cuba The letters were
mailed from Gainesville, Fla.
Ham used to be a newsboy in Bridge
ton, and then lived with his father, John
Ham, who recently removed to Phlladel-
phia. Young Ham was a student of the
South Jersey Institute, and studied mill
tary tactics there. He claims to have made
his way to Cuba, Joined the revolutionists
and is fighting for the freedom of the
island. His letters, 1t Is claimed, are sent
to a friend in Gainesville in cipher, and
this friend deciDhers and sends them on
to the Bridgetown newspapers. 1t is
thought by many that Ham and Anderfer
are one and the same person.

NEW YORK's POLICE JUSTICES.
The Writ of Habeas Corpus Before
the state Supreme Court.


the state Supreme Court.
New York, July 2-The writ Of habeas
corpus sued out yesterday by Thomas
Thornton in pursuit of a plan to test the
eonstitutionality of the legislation abolish
ing the old board of police justices came
up before Justice Slower in the supreme
court chambers this morning. Thornton
yesterday was fined by Hogan, holding a
rump court in the corridor of the criminal
court building. and in default of payment
OF the fine, was committed by Justice Ho-
gan 10 the city prison. The keeper of the
tombs refused to recognize the commit
ment and Thornton was left in the custody
of Justice Hogan. The proceeding is on
the theory that Justice Hogan is Illegally
depriVing him of his liberty, and that the
supreme court, on that assumption, de-
eide whether the old police justices are
have been's," in accordance with the con-
sutution, or not. J. L. Mclaughlin ap-
peared for the relator, Forbes J. Hennessy
represented the district attorneys Office
ana ex-Judge Noah Davis was present to
urge the unconsututionality of the act
which deprived the latter (Hogan) of his
magistracy, and turned his pretence of
keeping man in confinement into a farce.
Lewis L. Delafield was presnt in the inter
ests of the new magistrates and requested
an adjournment of the matter until Friday.
This was granted and when a suggestion
was made that the prisoner" be admit
ted to bail during the adjournment, JUS
tice Stover remarked dryly that the pris-
oner's liberty did not at present seem to
be in jeopardy and that he could remain in
his present custody where he seemed at lib
erty to go and come at will.

ceived here that the application for the ap-
pointment of c. c. Gabbett as separate re-
ceiver of the Savannah and Wes-
tern Railroad Company, in place
of H. NJ. Conner, the receiver
of the Georgia Central system. has not

leans as the Savannah and Western bond
holders hoped. The hearing on the appli-
cation was postponed till the latter part of
July by Judge Pardee, who intimated, at
the same time, that he would not remove
Mr.. Conner.
The Savannah and Western committee,
of which Simon Borg is chairman, made
application to Samuel Thomas and Thomas
f. Ryan, asking for a modification of the
terms in the Georgia Central reorganiza-
tion plan. This proposition was rejected
and all negotiations are off Unless the
Savannah and Western bondholders viii
wish to accept the terms of the Thomas
and Ryan plan as it now stands, they viii
have to reorganize the company them
selves.
Any independent reorganization plan
Will have to contain provisions FOR liq-
uIdation of the floating debt of $1,00O,-
900 to $l,50O00O, for paying off car trusts of
over $4,000 and for purchasing the Column
bus and Western railroad. which is now
under decree of foreclosure. This road
forms the main line of the Savannah and
Western into Birmingham Whether the
Borg committee will undertake the reor-
ganization of the company Independently
is not yet known but no other course re-
mains open, unless the Georgia Central
plan is accepted.

BRYAN AND HIS BOLT.
The ex-ConEres-mnn Again Admits
That He Put silver Above All.

Birmingham, Ala. July 2.-Ex-Con-
gresham W. J. Bryan addressed about
800 people at the Winnie Davis wigwam
in this city tonight in advocacy Of the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver at
l6 TO /. Mr.. Bryan was rather hoarse,
but Notwithstanding he spoke for three
hours
At the conclusion Of his speech a popu-
list asked the Nebraskian II he would
support the democratic rominee for Pres
ident next year II the national convention
should adopt a platform in accordance
with the views of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle on the money
question and should nominate a candi-
date with these views.
To these Mr.. Bryan replied that he lid
not care to anticipate a question which
he did not believe would confront him,
but he said, with the lights before him,
no power In heaven above. nor on the
earth below, nor in hell beneath, could
make him vote for gold bug on gold
bug platform.
About half Of the speech was devoted TO
reading extracts from speeches delivered
by Secretary Carlisle, seventeen years
ago. and commenting on the same. He said
that one of the two classes had TO choose
the standard money metal, or metals,
| the creditors and debtor. If the creditor
has the option he will require the debtor
| to pay him in the dearest money. If the
debtor has the choice, he Will select the
cheaper and thus by creating a demand for
| it, enhance its value.
He said both gold and silver had fluctu-
ated but the volume Of money remained
/ about the same whether gold or silver was
the dearer. or whether they were on a
| parity. He argued that any other ratio
| than 16 to l would be impracticable.
The majority of the audience were IN
| sympathy with Mr.. Bryans views, and
| heartily applauded his remarks. A great
| many, however, who are for l6 to / silver
did not appreciate his declaration that he
would not support a gold standard demo
| crat on a gold standard platform.
