the remedy used had made it possible for
him to save his life.

New Bedford. Mass, Jan. 1S-Not one
of the cloth mills of the city made any
attempt to run this morning. The expert.
cnces Of yesterday, especially that of the

any effort. The thousands of operatives
are quiet, and everything seems to have
settled down to a waiting battle.

Members of the reorganiZa ton commit
tee have stated positively that they have
no knowledge whatever of any movement
which would result in these very large
transfers. 1t IS also learned here that
the purchases of bonds have all been
made by representatives of two banking
houses, among the most important in the
street that are closely identified with
Northern Pacific and Great Northern in
terests. These same houses have also
made large purchases. within a short
