VIII Affect $4,000 Employees.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 9.--The
Fall River cotton manufacturers, at u
special meeting, voted to reduce the
wages of operatives. The cut will not
be less than ten per cent, and will
affect about $4,000 employees. The
cause of the reduction is the depressed
condition of the cotton market, which
does not enable print cloth, it is as
serted, to be manufactured for the
price now prevailing, which is the low
est on record.

A MURDER FOR REVENGE.
Strange Confession of Miss Delllah Eales,
Young Girl Mt WAverly, In.


Young Girl mt Waverly, In.
WAvERLY, Ia, Dec. 9-Delilah Fales
has confessed to her share in the tragic
death of Jerome Kern. The man was
found dead in a lonely wood on the
Esd of last August and the young
woman now confesses that she fired
the bullets that killed him. When
she was mere child of IS years, she
charges, the elder Kern betrayed her,
and ever after he harassed her
with his attentions. More than
that, he sought by blackening
her reputation, she states, to
keep Others from paying court to her.
Twice, before she had become attached
to the murdered mans son, she had
been in fair way to become happily
married, but as many times had Jerome
Kern, she declares, poisoned her lovers
against her At last when, by the
same method, he sought to prevent his
son from marrying her, the pent-up
hatred of years vented itself in the
commission of the crime.

Cities in Layers.

FROM the ArsOnant.
When Dr. Schliemann was digging at the
supposed site of Troy he uncovered the re-
mains Of several ancient cities which had
been built. one after another. on the same
hill. In the second layer from the bottom
he discovered masses Of silver in the form
OF ak heads. DR.. Gotze now suggests that
these were intended. not for implements,
but for money. Bronze ak heads have
also been discovered in ancient remains,
minsled with metal pieces in the form of
rings, in such a manner as to suggest that
all alike were intended to serve as money.
AFTER the ak head had disappeared as
actual money the memory Of it was pre-
served in the coins of Tenedos. which bore
the figure of an ak head. Dr.. Cote also
suggests that the wedge Of gold" which
Achan stole from the spoils of Jericho. and
for the stealing of which Joshua had him
stoned to death, was a specimen of the
ancient ak head money.
