FOR MURDER OF JOHN DEAN.
A Wood Chopper Arrested for Brutal
Crime.

Maynard, Mass, December 1s.-Loren-
20 Barnes, wood chopper, aged about
33, was arrested this afternoon, charged
with the murder of John Dean, the aged
farmer found lying dead on his kitchen
floor last night with his skull crus he'd
and head horribly. mangled. Barnes,
who Is unmarried, has lived in this town
most of his life, although his parents re-
side in Marlboro. Although Barnes has
been out of work sometime, it is said.
considerable sum of money was found
upon his person.
1t Is known that Barnes bought new
pair of rubber boots last night and it is
said upon the old pair he threw away,
blood was found; also that blood was
found upon bis clothes. He was seen not
fer from the Dean place about 5 last
evening, but fhis description does not ex-
actly tally with that of the man seen
passing bv Deans neighbors shortly be-
fore O'Clock. While the prisoner s re-
putation is not perhaps the very best, it
hos not been considered absolutely bad.

NO IDEA OF DYING FOR LOVE.
Slight Discrepancy Between Story OF
Young Frizzel and Darling Ede."

Plymouth, N. a., December 1s.-Mrs.
Edith Caldon Young, who was shot We'd
nesday by Harry Frizzell, regained con-
seriousness today and made sworn state
ment before justice. Frizzell shot Mrs.
Young and then attempted to kill him
self. He loft a letter saying that eide"
would die rather than leave him and
they were determined to dis together. A
few hours after the shooting he regained
consciousness and said the shooting was
done and the letter written at Mrs.
Young's suggestion; that he loved her
ana neither Of them had desire to live.
Mrs. Young says that she despissd
Frizzell, and desired him to leave her
boarding house. She had no idea of kill
ing herself nor did she plan to have Friz-
zell shoot her. According to her own
people, she never had anything but dis
like for young Frizzell up 60 this time.
Frizzsll has been conscious today and
keeps to his original story. The attend
ing physician says there is more thansan
even chance of both recovering.

Tontines by "a pins.
1 The second string the Tontines rallied
their forces and were determined to off
set the score of their opponents. They
succeeded in winning the string by 80
pins.
The Columbus were still 25 pins in the
lead and visions of victory seemed to
encourage and enable them to play for

was b0wIed amid the greatest of enthu-
siasm on the part of the friends of the
players, and even the players themselves
drank of this enthusiasm.
The Tontines finished the string with
a total of 422 pins against the 401 pins Of
the Co1umbias.
1t was quick to be seen that in spite of
the loss made on the third string by the

only by the small majority of four pins.

SOUTHERN GOODS.
Lawrence Manufacturing Company of Lowell, Admits it Can not Meet the Sonth's
 Competition.

MT. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers' Record, in the last issue of that paper, referring to
 the southward trend of cotton manufacturing says:
 The decision of two years ago oi some of the largest cotton mill companies in New England to build
 mills in the South, such as the Massachusetts Mill, at Rome, and the Dwight, at Gadsden, was not more significant of the destiny oi the South as the controlling power in cotton manufacturing than the action takena few days ago by the Lawrence Manufacturing O., of Lowell For several years the Manufacturers Record has pre- sistently insisted that the New England companies manufacturing coarse cotton goods would be com pelled to quit that line of business or build mills in the South. Every investigation made by the highest New England authorities hasdemon- strated the correctness of this posi- tion. A few days ago the directors of the Lawrence Manufacturing Co, of Lowell, a company having q capital of $1 100000 and operating 12O,000 spindles, voted to discon- tinue the manufacturing of coarse cotton goods and to recommend to the stockholders to sell the entire real estate. machinery and plant oi this part of their mill, paying back in cash to the stockholders the receipts to the extent of one-half oi the capital stock, $750.000, and to confine their operations hereafter exclusively to the hosiery depart ment of their business. The sheet ing department, which is to be closed, now operates about 75,000 spindles.
 MT. c. P. Baker. the treasurer of the company, who recently went South with the view to locating d cotton mill in that section, in an interview with the Lowell Citizen, said:
 We intend to stop the manufac- ture of cotton cloth at Lowell for good. At present half of our pro- duct is hosiery. and the balance is cloth. We intend to keep on manu-

enough to make the price, aud we
 have to meet it. These goods nearly all go to West and South The
 treasurer of one of the New England
 mills, who lately returned from the South, in reply to question which
 l asked as to the amount of surplus labor in the South, said that there
 was enough to last for generations"
 The action of this old-estabiished company, which has been in success ful operation for so many years, in deciding to sell it's entire equipment
 devoted to manufacturing sheetings
 and retire from that part of the bus mess permanently, shows that all the Manufacturers Record has ever
 of the South and it's advantages for cotton manufacturing is now being
 demonstrated. Ridiculed as the pre-
 dictions of this paper were for so
 many years. it's statements receiving ten or twelve years ago but scant credit, even in the South, the world is finally being forced to realize by the stern logic of events that this section in producing cotton goods at a lower cost than any other place, is setting the price for the world, and following this the business must in- eyitably come to the South. It Is only another demonstration of the unequalled advantages of this section for manufacturing advantages which have brought about the fulfill ment of our predictions in regard to iron-making, as we'll as in regard to cotton manufacturing, and of many other lines of industry, as well as of immigration. The SOuth's day b at last daWning.

facturing hoisery. Outside of hosiery the Lawrence Company has always been a manufacture of coarse cloth, it's largest product being sheeting. The Southern mills have become very large makers of this kind of goods, and we see no hope, with their low wages, of being able to meet it at profit here. Instead of going there, as some corporations have, or spending a good deal oi money here to fit up for the manu- fracture of fine goods. the directors of the company considered it best to return part of the capital to the stockholders retaining at Lowell the hosiery business only.
 "This crises has been pending for three or four years, or ever since the South commenced the manufacture of coarse goods largely"
 Replying to the question as to
 what advantage the South has over Lowell in the cost of goods, Mir. Becker stated that it was from one and one-half to two cents per pound, and this is on accounteDf low-priced labor, which formerly worked at farming.'' s'Their cost of manufacturing said Mr. Baker, which is the cost of labor, is 30 per cent below ours, which is due to 6 uerylarge surplus of help; and as this is nearly all paid for by the piece, it does not make much diff ference in the cost whether the labor of the South is skille1 or not. While the Southern mills do not manu- fracture enough goods to supply the American trade, they manufacture
