The Cotton Strike

BOSTON, Jan. 24.-The second week
of the big cotton mill strike opened at
the principal centers with both sides
apparently as determined to hold out as
at the Inauguration of the contest. No
attempt was made to open the gates of
the big corporations mills at New Bed
ford, Biddeford or Lewiston. At New
Bedford and Biddeford the business men
appear to be more anxious regarding the
future than either the mill owners or the
operatives, and many small dealers are
feeling the loss Of trade severely. Many
operatives are leaving to seek employ

A PRETTY STORY
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 24.-In connection
with the celebration In San Francisco Of
the discovery of gold in California, the
story told by Nathan Smith of this state
is interesting. Before his death Smith
often told the story and expressed de-
sire that the true history Of the discov-
cry should be published. Smith claimed
to have been with Marshall. He said
when they were deepening the tail race
to the mill the little son of one of the
men was playing in the water. This man
was named Nlmmer. His boy bothered
him, showing pebbles that he picked
from the water. Finally the boy picked
up something bright and went to show
it to his father. The latter impatiently
ordered him to go away, and the boy sat
down on the bank and cried. Marshall
sought to comfort him, asking to see
what he had. 1t proved to be the nugget
that made Marshall and California
famous.

Ratcliffe's Troubles

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Edward j. Rat
cliffe, the actor, was held in $4,000 bail
today on the charge of perjury. The
alleged perjury consists in his swear
ing during the recent trial for assault
ing his wife, the daughter of Peter De-
Lacey, that he had never been married
before. Today Caroline Ravenhill, who
alleges that Ratcliffe married her in
England in 1883, produced the original
marriage certificate, which is alleged to
prove the actors perjury and bigamy.
A warrant has been issued against
Ratcliffe in New Jersey for bigamy,
and papers in a suit for annulment of
marriage, brought by Peter DeLacey's
daughter, were served on Radcliffe to-
day.

TRAIN GOES THROUGH 4 BRIDGE.
Bad Accident Fifty-seven Miles North
 of Roanoke, Va.

Roanoke, Va. Nov. 23.-A north bound fast freight on the Shenandoah division of the Norfolk and Western railway went through bridge near Riverside, fifty-seven miles north of Roanoke to-day. Fireman Joseph Ste vens was instantly killed. Brakeman David Winger was fatally injured and Engineer Stephen Mayo was seriously scalded by escaping steam. The men lived in Roanoke. The bride was under construction at the time of the accident and it is rumored that several of the bridge workers were more or less in- jured. One span of the structure gave way, precipitating part of the train to the water below, a distance of thirty feet. The train was loaded with live stock and some of the cars were demol- ished, killing a considerable number of cattle. A wrecking crew with surgeons was sent from Roanoke to the scene of the accident. The dead and injured were brought to this city.

Damage in Waterbury.

Waterbury, Nov. 27.-To-day's storm has been fruitful in "reminiscences of the blizzard of 'SS, for since that time there has not been experienced in this city such a severe snow blockade as was encountered to-day. All traffic by steam and trolley cars has been sus- pended and the city has been practical ly isolated for the entire day. Travel on all the railroads leading into the city has been suspended and the man. agers of the trolley road made no at tempt to keep their roads open. The snow has fallen thirteen inches on the level and the drifts are very deep. The wind blew a gale all last night and to- day. There was considerable minor damage from the wind, while the exten- sive rolling mill of Randolph & Gloves was damaged to the extent of between $15,000 and $20,000 by the roof caving in from the heavy weight of the snow. The accident occurred early this morn ing and as there were no operatives in the building there was nobody injured. The last train to reach, Waterbury, which was due this morning at 1929, was two hours late and instead of at tempting to return to New Haven, as was customary, remained here.

 East Brookfield, Mass, Nov. 27.-A narrow escape from another big rail- road disaster occurred here on the main line of the Boston and Albany road about 2 o'clock this morning. Shortly before that hour freight wreck oc- cured at a point on the road about half mile above the passenger depot, one train telescoping another. Hardly had the wreck taken place when the Il o'clock New York express from Boston was heard approaching. An attempt was made to flag it at point east of the depot, but the storm, which was then at it's height, so completely filled the air with snow that the engineer of the passenger train ran down the flag without seeing it. As he passed the flagman shouted. His cry was heard by the engineer, who quickly clapped on the air brakes, stopping the train, which was under full headway, two train lengths from the scene of the wreck. It was z o'clock this evening before the New York express got by the blockade.

REF. DR. LYMAN ABBOTT RESIGNS Pastor of Plymouth Church, New York,
 for Ten Yenra.

New York, Nov 27.-The Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott from the pulpit to-day announced his intention to resign the pastorate of the Plymouth church which he has filled for ten years. He read letter to this effect to congre- gation which was small but the storm kept many away. In his letter Dr. Ab- bolt said:
 Perhaps, reluctant as I am to sever my pastoral connections with Plymouth church, should still have hesitated and delayed had not a warning been given me this fall which scarcely need ed the doctors interpretation. He tells me frankly that am using up vital en- ergies, he imperatively declares that must prepare to discontinue the at tempt, and he leaves me no option but to withdraw from the pastoral work and devote myself to the equally re- sponsible but quieter work. It will not be possible for me to continue your pastor beyond the present season. can never resume the labor of the pas torate."
 Lyman Abbott was born in Roxbury, Mass. He is s'xty-three years of age. His first pastoral charge was at Terre Haute, Ind, where he remained until 1865. He then became secretary of the American Union commission. For a number of years he devoted himself to literature and in May, 1888, succeeded to the pulpit of Plymouth church left vacant by the death of his old asso- ciate, Henry Ward Beecher.

STORM DUG HOUT THE STATE,
Quite ns Severe as in New Haven-Trang.
 pcrta atiOM Paralyzed.

Bridgeport, Nov. 27.-The report from this city is the same as elsewhece throughout the state, the worst storm since the blizzard of 'SS. Snow com menced falling here about 1 D. m. Sat- urday and by 4 p. m. street car traffic was practically suspended. At Il D. m. blows were sent out to bring in the trolley cars that had been stalled. The steamer Rosedale, which left New York yesterday afternoon, has not put in an appearance. The steam trains have all been blocked and it was not until this afternoon that the early morning news paper train was able to leave East Bridgeport and ploughed it's way to New Haven
 The snow has drifted shoulder deep in many places, while drifts have been found varying from ten to fifteen feet high, rendering it impossible for either trolley, team or pedestrian traffic. The fire alarm system has been crippled and the city has been at the mercy of fire at any time since early last evening. The upper portions of a number of buildings, such as the gables, etc., have been blown off. There were two nar- row escapes from suffocation in the snow drifts thus far learned. William Thompson, whose home is in Black Rock, was found nearly unconscious in a huge drift near the dividing line be- tween Black Rock and Fairfield, and John Garvey was rescued from drift right in the vicinity of the police sta- tion.
 The police were notified of hold-up at Green Farms last night during the storm Liveryman Shaughnessy was set upon by footpads as he was near ing his home in Green Farms, who struck him over the head and rendered him unconscios and then made off with his team The police have heard noth- ing as to the whereabouts of the team.

At liddIetowm

Middletown, Nov 27.-Public business has been paralyzed in this city since early last night, owing to the severe snow storm. The high wind drifted the snow so as to render the country roads impossible and the streets in the cen ter of the city are not much better. There were no efforts made to run the trolley cars and there have been no trains inward or outward on the steam railroads. Engines have been at work all day trying to break out the Air Line route and the Berlin branch, but they have had but indifferent success. The wind has caused quite d little damage by the blowing down of signs and the toppling over of chimnsys. The tug j.. w. Couiston started this morning for Hartford with a tow Of barges, hut re- turned after being out less than five minutes. The captain did not care to take the chances on the two bridges that he would have had to pass through.
