report with rcgar to the competition OF
southern mills. that was presented at the
meeting o the Arkwright club held In the
this city on We ineslay. This company Is
one OF the largest in the country. 1t is to
be expected, therefore, that its action will
have u decided effect on the situation. 1t Is
thought that the Am Try. Manchester Stark

Manchester and cotton mills In other New
Hampshire centres and other parts OF New
England will take similar action soon.
CHICOPEE, Mass, Dee. 23-The Dwight
cotton mills here will not reduce wages at
once. according to Agent Aumann, who says
he has received no authoritative informa-
ton relative to concerted move
ment ON the part OF the New
England cotton manufacturers to either
secure an extension of working hours or re-
duce the wages OF the operatives. Agent
Aumann says. however, that he considers
the situation critical, and thinks that some.
thing must be done before long. He said
that the Northern mills are unable to COM
pete with advantage with the Southern
mills, owing TO the fact that labor in tho
South costs only about two-thirds OF what 1t
does In this section OF the country.

INVENTOR OF A BELL INDICATOR.
valuable ContrIvance Perfected by
Bernard Riley, OF Wilkes

Bernard Riley, an engineer employed
by the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal
company at WilkesBarre has invent
ed "a bell indicator" which is intended
to prevent accidents at shafts. 1t not
infrequently happens that by some
misunderstanding of signals the engin-
ecr at a shaft begins to hoist carriage
before the footman is ready and by
doing so the footman, and perhaps
others, are injured.
liy the use of this contrivance this is
impossible. Mr.. Rileys apparatus con-
sists Of a dial not unlike that of the
clock. On the two upper corner of this
dial is an electric bell. When the foot
man touches the button to signal the
engineer that all is ready to hoist, an
indicator drops by gravity on the dial;
so should anything occur to prevent
the ringing of the bell in the engine
room, the engineer knows, by the drop
ping Of the indicator, that it is time
to raise the carriage.
BY a similar method the footman is
communicated with and he and others
can get out of the way in case the en-
gineer has occasion to hoist before all
is ready below.

THE RESULT OF A FIGHT.

The Cause That Led to It--Two Ewes
BIackened, the Principals Shake
Hands and Are Now Friends Again.
The Names OF the Principals Witn-
held.
\ dispute arose between two young
men in regard to q suit of clothes
purchased at the great sale which is
now going on at the Chicago Combina-
tiOn Clothing Company, 2ll Washing
ton avenue. One young man bought
a suit for $685., which he put on after
exhibiting himself. A dispute arose in
regard to the price paid, one claimed
that such a suit could not possibly be
bought for less than $500, while the
ether contended he only paid $6,S5.
After a good deal of hot words, blows
were exchanged and wagers were
made, the entire party repaired to the
Chicago Clothing Company store, and
after ascertaining that the price was
only $3.50 they all expressed surprise.
The young men, after damaging one
anothers faces, shook hands and made
up friends. For reasons best known
we will not publish their names. We
must, however, congratulate the Chica-
go Clothing Company for giving such
values, during this great sale of theirs,
that is the common talk of everybody.
If you need any clothing be quick
while this sale is still in progress. ~
