A STUBBORN FIGHT.
Spinners at Iron Works Mill Have no Union
 But Are Struggling Hard.

Fall River, Mass, Jan. 26.-Although the striking frame spinners at the Iron Works mills have no union and are not in the regular labor unions of the city, they are making a fight which bids fair to be a stubborn one.
 They succeeded in getting some of the operatives out of the No. 1 mill, thus making the strike include and affect three of the four mills operated by this com- pany The strikers at the Sagamore mills say their places have been partially filled by help from the other mills, but they re- fused to go to work today. They claimed the pay was reduced about 13 per cent, and besides this the speed of the ma- chinery was increased. They informed the mill authorities today that if the fast pull leys are removed they will accept the re- duction. The loom fixers have decided to support their brethren in New Bedford by assessing each member 25 cents a week.
 This afternoon the card room operatives at the King Phillip mill met and devised a plan whereby those locked out may report and be paid. Tonight the carders of the Granite mill reported an excessive reduc- tion in their wages, in some cases as high as 22 per cent Secretary Jansey was in- structed to interview Agent Sove and ask that the schedule be revised. The union will not accept the reduction as it now stands, and will order strike if the wages are not revised.

 MT. Cross said there was little chance of the bill ever passing, so the matter would be allowed to rest for the present in it's present shape. He said under the plan it would be possible for swinders to organize a chain of banks, place the stock in irresponsible hands, loot the concerns with straw investments and leave the honest banks to bear the loss.

KLATT SAW MRS. LUETGERT Leaving the House at Night on
 May 1. HE ALMOST RAN OVER HER And When He Cried Lookout" She Did Not Hear Him-The Witness Told a
 Straight Story.

Chicago, Jan. 26.-According to testimony of witnesses for defense, which closed its case with the adjournment of court today the missing wife of Adolph L. Luetgert Is ubiquitous. The Kenosha witnesses saw her in the Wisconsin town from May to 6 of last year. Mrs. Thompson, of Ke- vance, Ill.,, chatted with the wife of the sausage maker at the railroad station in Cedar Rapids, Ia., the night of May D. Updyke on the night of June met her on the Looking Glass river roar near James, vile, Wis, and the day following Henry Klopfer saw her near Hanson Park, suburb of Chicago. Theodore Arndt met her in the Metropolitan elevated railroad station at Mansfield avenue the afternoon of July IS, and six residents of Monmouth, H.. saw her there Aug. 20.
 The defense rested at adjournment and tomorrow the state will begin it's rebuttal A score of witnesses will be introduced to controvert the stories of Luetgert's friends, but the prosecution expects to finish during the week.
 Chicago. Jan. 26.-otto Klatt, a book binder living at 991 West Chicago avenue, was the most important witness in the Luetgert murder trial today.
 Klatt testified that about Il o'clock, on the night of May l. last, while driving past the Luetgert residence, on Hermitage ave nue, a woman came out of the house, which he believes was Luetgert's wife, and crossed the street in front of his rig. klatt says he heard the gate slam, and before he could see her the woman was almost under the horses feet. "She reached up her hand to stop my horse." said Klatt' "and I called to her to look out, or I'll run over you She made no reply, but went on across the street."
 The witness said the woman had pack age under her arm, and was about his size. Klatt said he could not see the wo- man clearly enough to identify her, either personally or. by photograph. Klatt told a fairly straight story, and his testimony seemed to impress the jury more than that of any other witness yet on the stand, Luetgert himself not excepted.

A CITY NIGHT.

murmuring night. -.
The sky blue dusk Of summer treHlbles ABOVE

But me the turbulent bubble and voice OF crowds
delight; ,,.s
For me the wheels make music, the mingled
cries are sweet:
Notion and laughter call: We hear, we Will no'
fail.
For see in secret vista with soft. retiring stars,
With clustered suns. that stare upon 'he ''AiO'4e

With pendant dazzling moons that cast noon
day white. ,.
The full streets beckon: Come. for toll has burst

that the English organization that has gen.

The Oraxon's Claiming Chaplain.

Chaplain Mcintyre of the Oregon has
assuredly missed his calling. He should be
an advance agent His sublime iriiffer-
ence to the carkins limitations o. the
truth. his cheerful acceptance of heavy
responsibilities for large statements, his
nonchalance in claiming everything in
sight for his particular ship are all indica-
tive of genius for booming things which
ought to be utilized in some more promis-
ing and remuneratiys field. Incidentally
he is complicating matters. He is setting
up temptation to the cabin boy Of the
Gloucester to assert that the converted
yacht sunk the Vizcaya. and he is melting
the cook Of the Indiana to declare that
that vessel uDaided sobbled the Maria
Theresa and the Oquendo. He is of course
paiing the claims of the self-styIed friends
of Admiral Sampson and Commodore
Schley in their raging controversy as to
the credit to be given each for his partici-
patton in the naval fight Of July 8. He Is
setting fashion In bestowing laurels for
achievements On the sea that Is likely to
plague the service in later years when Nc
Intyre shall have discarded his vestments
and gone forth to laud the merits of the
greatest show on earth, or to boom the at
fractions of the latest dramatic star.
Rev. Mcintyre excels as q mischief max
er. He is rot content to describe the
Oregon's magnificent advance and the COL
lapse of the Spsniards when the battle
ship began to pump out her heavy shells
He is not satisfied to demonstrate that
neither Sampson nor Schley was really in
it, but only Clark and Mcintyre. The WON
derful work Of the Oregon would excuse a.
tremendous amount Of direct and straight
forward Dragging. But he adds to euIogies
upon the Oregon slWs upon the Brooklyn
and Iowa, which. he insinuates, shirked in
the fight, and in his latest reported ad-
dress at Denver he accuses Sampson of
falsifying facts In his official report In
order to get a share of the Colon prize
money.
Unless Sampson, Schley and Evans are
to be dismissed on account of these charges
the American navy must be prepared to
part with their slanderer, the booming Nc
Intyre.
