Pushing the Work on the SILK Mill.

Work upon the foundation of the silk
mill building is progressing rapidly I'M
der the supervision of Mr.. Simpson.
Quite Il number of men are employed,
and every possible effort is being made
to finish the job without further delay.
The projectors leave no room to doubt
their intentions, as they have completed
the purchase of the land for the site of
the mill and the deed has been executed.
All the stock of the concern has been
subscribed for, and none can now be
bought, unless it can be purchased from
the subscribers, and they are not offer
ing any for sale.
The contracts for the mill machinery
have been placed, and Frank Frigeno,
of Scranton, has been engaged to super
intend the plant. Mr.. Frigeno removed
his family here from Scranton last week
and is residing on South Ridge street at
present, but intends to remove to Birk-
beck street in the near future. He has
been engaged in the silk business for
many years in France and America. and
is considered one of the most capable
men into whose hands the mill could be
placed.
1t is expected that the building will be
completed, the machinery placed in posi-
tion and everything ready to begin work
some time in January.

Liquor Men At 1t Again.

A spirited war is on in town between
some of the wholesale liquor dealers and
some Of the beer agents. One of the
latter class has been arrested twice
within the past month, and has furnish
ed bail before two HazlctOn aldermen to
answer in court the charge OF selling
without license. The agent claims that
the firm he represents has complied
with all that the law requires, and is
preparing to make the ease interesting
when it gets into court. On Monday
one of the borough constablcs was re-
queSted by wholesale dealer to return
this agent to court and charge him with
Illegal selling, but this request was
promptly refused, inasmuch as the agent
is now under bail to answer the charge
The real difficulty appears to rest in
the fact that the agent sells his beer at
considerable less per barrel than the
wholesale dealers, and the latter want
him out of the business.

Inspected the Overall Factory.

Deputy Factory Inspector C. w. Bis
chof, of Dunmorc, paid Freeland an
official visit yesterday and made an ex-
animation of the overall factory. He
expressed himself as perfectly satisfied
with the ventilation and other arrange
ments Of the building, and stated that
there was nothing that he could recon-
mend to add or alter in the factory that
would make it better for the employees
This is a high testimonial to the fore
sight of Mr.. Blass and his colleagues,
and the people should feel proud that
the first of our industries came through
the state inspection with "Perfect" on
the report.

A HARD BATTLE.
Negroes Make An Attack

He Pluckily Defends Himself
With a Winchester.
Kills Two and Wounds Four OF His
Infuriated Assailants.

CBIPLEy, Fla, Oct. 22.-Beseiged by
infuriated negroes, J. N. Criglar, man
ager of Hagerman's lumber MILL at
Hawer Station, four miles west OF here,
defended himself with such effect that
he killed two of his assailants and
wounded four Others. Criglar became en-
gsged in quarrel with one OF bis en-
ployes, and the other negroes drew pistols
and began firing at the manager. Crlg-
lar ran TO his office, locked himself in
and opened fire with q Winchester on the
maddened negroes who surrounded the
building.
For an hour the battle continued, and
when the Louisville 81 Nashville train
arrived at the station, the negroes were
preparing to set fire to the building ana
cremste Criglar. The train crew and
passengers, however, rushed to his assist

Former Husband of Bar-
bara Orr" RetiCent.
Has Nothing to Say of Her
Tragic End in New York.
Remains of the Suicide May Be
Brought to East Providence.

The only new developments In regard
to the sensational suicide of Mrs. Cassette
L. Orr in New York on Tuesday are
those that tend to show that she was the
pretty widow who, for several months,
occupied a room at the residence Of Mrs.
Newhall on Beacon avenue, in this city.
Already letters have been received from
New York, which tend TO establish her
identity beyond question, and her friends
have no doubt but that she and the
"Mrs. Barbara Orr" are one aud the same
person.
Mr.. Edwin q. Baker, Jr., Mrs. Orr's
first husband, has had nothing ID say In
regard to the case. He is a travelling
salesman, employed by a local house, and
is the son of Mr.. Edwin q. Baker, the
South Water street dealer in hides. II Is
claimed, however, that 1t was he who OBJ
tanned the divorce and not Mrs. Orr. 10
she stated so frequently, but none of his
friends will state definitely what was the
cause OF the separation. The divorce was
granted to Mr.. Baker In Western State
about nve years ago. and this is the only
positive fact that can be obtained.
MIR. ard Mrs. Samuel Barstow OF East
Providence, the parents of Mrs. Orr,
are prostrated with grief. Mrs. Barstow
could not Withstand the shock and is
now under a physicians care and is in a
very critical condition. The family have
resided in East Providence for several
years, and are greatly respected. This f.
the second death that has occurred ir
the family within short time, another
daughter having died In Chicago abou, a
year ago.
mrs. Orr, although daughter OF Mr.
and Mrs. Barstow, never resided In this
town. Occasionally, however, she visited
her parents and seemed to be greatly at
tached TO them.
No decision has yet been reached as to
the disposal of the remains, but the
mem bers OF the family will decide today
whether the body shall be brought to
East Providence for interment, or left in
New York for burial.

which were held by the Repu plicans last
evening. He had notified Citv Solicitor
jerks that he desired TO obtain bis advice
and it was believed the latter. would advise
him to place the names of both tickets
on the official ballot.
This action. 1t is claimed, would en-
able the two factions to settle their
trouble in the appellate court before the
day of election for one or the other could
apply for writ OF mandamus to restrain
the city clerk from putting the nominees
OF both conventions on the official ballot.
