At the recruiting office in the Walker

cepted, and only one was given an ex-
animation. Despite that apparent
slowness of the work OF soldier-making,
the men in charge of the office say that
the progress being made is satisfactory
and quite as rapid as can be expected,
now that the war excitement is a thing
of the past. In the neighborhood of
thirty enlistments have been made at

MONAHAN FINED.
Another Sequel to the Mouders' Trouble
az Peros Foundry.

Another chapter in the trouble exist
ing between the strikers and employees
at Pero's foundry was rehearsed before
Judge Utley in the central district
court, yesterday morning. Timothy
Monahan and George Donahue were
charged with assaulting Patrick Buck
ley, a man who came from Boston to
help fill the place left vacant by the
striking workmen.
The trouble took place on the morn
ing of November %. Buckley claims he
was on his way to work when he met
the defendants and another man. Mon
worked in the foundry. He replied that
he did not. but one of the others
claimed that he did, and then Mona
han struck him and knocked him down.
Two Armenians who work at the
foundry and were just ahead of Buck
ley, testified that some one struck
Buckley, one was sure that it was Mon
ahan, but the other was not positive.
Monahan testified that he was doing
picket duty by order of the Moulders'
Union, and when he saw Buckley APP
preaching asked him if he would join
the union and stay away from the Pero
foundry until the trouble was settled.
Buckley replied with an oath and a vile
epithet, at the same time striking him
in the face.
He then tried to defend himself. AS
he did so the two Armenians in ques-
ton rushed out OF the foundry gate,
armed with clubs. Donahue stopped
over as though to pick up a bar of iron,
and the Armenians fed inside the gate.
Monahan was ordered to pay a fine
of SO, and Donahue was discharged.

alist. He has an extensive acouaiat
ance among them, and is most favora-
bly, known as one of the progressive
farmers of Massachusetts, and a man
who has contributed more than a little
through his talks to the grangers at
winter meetings, to the general ad-
vancement of the honest tillers of the
soil.
Mr.. Clemence is the owner of one of
the best farms in Massachusetts,, and
has been prominent in agricultural cir
cles for many years. He has represent
ed the SOuthbridge district in the lower
branch of the Legislature, and has also
been an aspirant for senatorial hon
ors. Two years ago, he came within a
single vote of the republican nominal
ton in the so-called granger district.
Senator Fairbank of Warren, who won
out at that time, is about TO commence
his second term in the Senate, and has
already made his announcement that
two years is all he cares for.
Mr. Clemence's friends have got him
in their minds yet, in connection with
senatorial honors, and it is more than
probable that Southbridge names the
senator from the granger district for
the year 1900.
