Known in the Town.

to-day held an inquest over the remains
Of William s. Cummings, the non-union
mill worker who was killed last night dur
ing quarrel with the strikers.
A large number of witnesses were ex>
amined but the only one who gave posi-
tive testimony was Constable Longnecker,
who testified that he was standing within
a few feet of the parties when the shoot>
ing took place, and plainly saw the fash
and smoke from the revolver beside Will
lam O. Hubbs. The jury found Hubbs
guilty and he was at once arrested.
Hubbs was a roller in the employ of the

will end the rioting and bloodshed, and

ANGLO-GERMAN COMMERCE..
Britain's Remuneration of the Exist
ing Treaty Under Fire.

Berlin, Aug. 31.-The Kreuz Zeltung
says that the denunciation of the COM
mercial treaty with the German zollverein
is Great Britain's first step toward the
protectionist system, and adds: But
there is no ground for serious alarm, be-
cause she has her carrying trades to pro-
tect and retaliation to fear.
Moreover, a one-sided preference
shown to Canada might provoke a con-
fiict with the United States"
The National zeitung says that Great
Britain is herself the nation most inter-
ested in the conclusion of new treaty,
and that Germany may gain much by
skilful cold-blooded diplomacy
The Vossiche Zeitung says: 80 far as
Germany's relations to England are con-
cerned, it is a matter Of indifference
whether we have a treaty or not"
