New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 5.-The third
week of the big strike ended to-day. and,
owing TO the rupture that prevails be-
tween union and non-union operatives, it
is a question if the battle can be waged
much longer. All that will help this
rupture is a liberal supply of funds from
outside sources to divide among the dis
contented and keep them in line.
The operatives who are making most of
the trouble are not nearly as badly off as
some of their fellow workmen, who declare
they will starve rather than return 10
work.

Boston, Feb. ST. Jefferson Coolidge,
treasurer of the Amoskeag mills of Man

ida. He says of the general mill situa-
ton: ION the maintenance Of the re-
duetion in wages depends the existence of
the New England mills, and striking
against a reduction is "a mistake on The
part of the operatives, who are attempt
ing to kill the goose that lays the golden
egg. If the mill hands desire to be out
of employment, they are taking the right
course in striking.
Nearly all of the Southern mills are
prosperous. The biggest mills are earn
ing large dividends but are rarely paying
per cent, as they are reserving their
excess profits to increase their quick capl-
tal.

for the lower wages paid in the South our
mills could compete with them without
trouble.

George Slosson was defeated tonight by
Jake Schaefer of Chicago by a score of
600 points to 596 points in the game for
the championship of America, which took
place at Madison Square Garden concert
han.
Throughout the game the men were
playing 50 evenly that it was a toss-up as
to who would win. Schaefer was the fav-
orite, but toward the end of the game it
seemed that Slosson would win, but he
fell down on a drive to the cushion when
he had a good lead and only four points to
score TO win. On the whole the billiards
were very slow, but the play was inter
spersed with some brilliant work which
kept the spectators on edge during the
course of the game.

Strange story in Connection with a
Death in wilkes County.

WI u
Death in wilkes County.
Washington, Ca, Feb. 5.-Simon Ke-
ough of this county, died Feb. 3, aged
about Sc. There is rather a strange story
connected with his death. A short while
ago Mr.. Keough was awakened late in
the night by a knock at the door. on
inquiring who was there a voice replied
that there was a dead man in the road
and Mr.. Keough was wanted to help in
vesrgate the matter. Fearing foul play,
he refused to answer the cal. The next
day there was discovered, not far from
the house,a deep FIRE shly dug hole. The srs-
picions of the neighBorsg were aroused and
it was whispered around that the mystic
rious visitor was a would-be murderer and
that the grave was dug for Mr.. Keough
and his wife. Mr.. Keough was a wealthy
man and was supposed 10 keep quite an
amount of money ait home, which was a
mistake. This affair preyed on Mr. Ke-
ough's mind TO such an extent that it is
supposed to have fastened his death, his
heart having been affected.
