This Mortal Coil.

The jailer and deputies at the county Jail
are having their hands full with Jacob Kin
sey, who was convicted of assault some days
ago, and they were anxious to get him out
Of their hands. He refuses food, and has
avowed his intention to destroy himself. Mon
day night he made all preparations, and
wrote postal card to a friend, in which he
instructed that his brother should not be
permitted to take charge of his remains.
There was a hitch in the programme, how
ever, for Kinsey was watched so closely
that he had no opportunity to carry his
design into effect. At last accounts there
had been several trials of strength between
lhe captors and the prisoner, and the case
has resolved itself into a race with death.
The jailors hope to get the prisoner out of
their hands shortly.

posed to Strike.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec 2S.-The
operatives conference committee was
in session two hours tonight, after ex-
ecutive committee meetings of the va
rious unions had been held, Secre-
tary O'Donnell gave out the following
resolution which had been unanimous
ly adopted by the committee:
Resolved, That we accept the reduction, as
1t would not be good business policy on our
part to enter into a strike at the present
time. But we inform our employers that as
soon as We think there is a margin Of profit
sufficient for the restoration of the present
wage schedule, we shall demand it, even if
we have to go to the extremity of leaving
our employment by going Oh strike.
The feeling among the leaders to-
night is strong against the reduction.
While the committee offers the reso-
luton to the unions, there Is a posi-
bility they will not accept it. The
spinners, slasher tenders and loom fix
ers especially talk strike, and it is pos
sible that they may so vote at the
