WHO IS TIE MURDERED MAN2
Police ON the Lockout for a ssTall
Mau.ss

CRESCENT BEACH, Mass, Aug. q,
murder was brought to light early this
morning by the discovery of the body of
a man bearing several ugly cuts and
bruises about the head and face, on the
sands between Oak Island and the Point
of Pines. The incoming tide washed over
the corpse and all the pockets of his
clothing were filed. with sand. A bum
die of papers was found near the man
as if they had been washed out of his
pocket.
Among them was a certificate from the
Soldiers Home, made out in the name of
Patrick Murphy, private, Company 8,
Fourth Massachusetts Infantry, and con-
tanning a record showing that Murphy
was admitted to the Home March 25, and
discharged August 9.
An investigation started by the police
as soon as the finding of the body was
made known to them resulted in the dis
closure that the man whose body was
found this morning and a companion,
who was very tall, called at the Wind
sor House last night about o'clock.
Both men were in an intoxicated con-
dition. The tall man was asked to come
into the hotel but refused to do so, re-
naming in the shade of the porch.
1t then was learned that W. C.
Howes, who lives on Crescent Beach
night at the band stand. Mr.. Howes also
states that he was awakened between 8
and 4 o'clock this morning by the sound
of four shots and afterwards heard some
one drive by his house. talking in a loud
and angry voice. In view of this evil
dence the police are pushing their inves-
tigation with all speed and hope soon
to get on the track of the tail man"

DISEASES OF THE EASTER LILY
Agricultural Department Issues n
RuIIetfn of Inferasf TO Fiorfafs.


+ WASHINGTON, Aug. q, 1s97.--A special
bulletin has been issued by the Agrisul-
tural Department on diseases of the
Bermuda or Easter Lily, which is of
much interest to the florists of the coun-
try 1t points out that the forcing of the
lily has become an important industry in
the United States. The bulbs are grown
almost exclusively in Bermuda where they
mature in July and are then shipped to
fall, winter and spring
During the past five or six years the
disease affecting the lily apparently is
growing more destructive each sea-
son and has seriously interfered with the
profitable growth of the plant. The gov
ernment began an investigation of the
plant malady two or three years ago,
and the preliminary report says the dis
ease destroys in this country from 20 to GO
per cent. of the entire crop, exclusive of
the bulbs which fail to grow or that make
ranges from five to even thirty per cent.
The disease Is characterized by spotting
and distortion of the leaves and flowers
and usually the Stunting of the plants.
France, the Netherlands and Japan are
supposed to be similarly afflicted.
The principal causes assigned are worn
out soil, premature removal of flowers
and flower stems, premature harvesting
OF bulbs, carelesSneSS in the section of
propagating stock, bad treatment during
the forcing the depreciation of insects.
As remedies it is suggested that only
strong and vigorous plants be used for
propagation, crop rotation should be
practiced, chemical fertilizers used and
premature digging avoided.

LOCKOUT AT THE HOG ABATTOIR
The Skilled Butchers Give Place TO
UnskIlted Italians.

There is lockout at the Hog Abattoir,
in East Newark, of which James Bath
gate, of Newark is the proprietor. Thirty
experienced hands have been thrown out
of employment and unskilled Italians have
taken their places. The result of the
change it is said, has not proved highly
satisfactory, but the owner will not ac-
cede to the demands of the old hands.
The whole trouble started a week ago
last Thursday, when Steve Clifford, the
foreman, was ordered to make cut ol
% cents day in the wages of several of
the men,. He refused TO do this and was
discharged on Saturday. The men stood
by him in body and declared that they
would not go to work the following day
unless he was restored to his position.
When the thirty men reported for work
Sunday morning, they found that Mr..
Bathgate had taken them at their word.
Their places were all taken by Italians,
who were at work under new foreman,
Harrison McNeill.
McNeill remained there until Tuesday
when he resigned and was succeeded by
James Gallagher, who is in charge at
present. MCNEIL gave as his reason for
reSlgnlng tnal ne could not get INC ie-
quired amount of work out of the
Italians. Where the old employees
killed 125 hogs in two hours the Italians
could only despatch twenty-five.
The locked out men, or strikers, remain
in the vicinity of the abattoir from MORN
ing till night, but the possibility of their
making any hostile demonstration to-
wards the Italians is precluded by the
presence of the police of Harrison and
kearny The men say they will not re-
turn to work at reduced wages or under
any foreman but Clifford.
