CARPENTERS TO MEET.

A public meeting of the Carpenters
Union, No. %, in the nature of a grand
mass meeting of the carpenters of the
city, will be held this evening in st.
Jean Baptiste Hall President Eugene
Hervieux of the union win preside, and
among the speakers Of prominence who
will address the meeting are: Harry
Lloyd of Boston, president of the Car
penters of America; william Shields.
business agent of the Boston Union:
and William A. Rossley of Worcester,
business agent of the local union. 1t
has been intended to bring Mr. Lloyd
here before, but he has been unavoid-
ably detained. President Herveux of
the local union will address the meeting
briefly stating that it is for the purpose
of securing confidence and mutual I'M
derstanding among the carpenters of
Worcester. A careful discussion is
wanted of all questions vital to the
trade interests; and from this it is
hoped to secure the general sentiment
OF the workers. The meeting is open
not only to union men, but to non-union
men; and the managers have extended
cordial Invitation to the general con-
tractors The relations between the
contractors and the carpenters are to be
fully considered, and 1t Is the wish of
the members of the union to have all
sides represented.
Business Agent William A. Rossley
said to Spy reporter Wednesday even
ing that the carpenters are very con-
sentative body, and there lies their
strength. They were not agitating for
an eight-hour days work at present.
The present aim is to secure a uniform
adoption Of the nine-hour schedule.
With three or four exceptions, all the
contractors of the city have adopted the
nine-hour day basis, and these few ex-
ceptions are seeing the error of their
ways. The Builders Exchange adyo-
Gated the nine-hour rule, and the car
penters are cooperating with the build
ers to secure obedience to that rule. The
Builders Exchange voted for that sys-
tenn, and the effort of the carpenters is
to have it the unanimous rule of the
city. uniform nine-hour schedule is,
then, the first move; and, this attained
other advancements may be considered
The exceptions to the nine-hour rule
who make their men work 10 hours, are
so few that the Builders Exchange, in
conjunction with the carpenters them
selves, insure uniformity in time. AS
the union is conservative, strikes are to
be avoided, and one Of the great objects
of the meeting is to secure a mutual
confidence and reliance between the en-

der at Brookheld, The case before the
grand jury is in. charge Of Deputy
Sheriff W. E. Tarbell, in the absence Of
State Detective Murray, who Is away
on q clue which has been found within
a few days. This clue took him to Lee
banon, N. H., where man closely re-
senbling Paul Miller, the man wanted,
was seen. Miller is not in custody, but
1t is thought the suspected man can be
located in that vicinity. Besides Mr.

They Include William Eaton, H. A..
Rice and George T.. Pike, who were the
first to enter the house after the occu-
pants of the Newton house had been

s.ers, who, it is claimed, has said that
he heard Mr.. Newton say he wanted to
buy wood Got and had $500 in the
house at that time to pay for 1t. Miller,
the farm hand, also heard the remark.

the railroad station, was also wit

ming there was some doubt concerning
the identity of the man who bought the
ticket for the "Owl" train, but Mr.
Campbell now feels certain that Miller
Is the man, and he Is confirmed in this
belief because he received a peculiar
coin which is believed to nave belonged
to Newton. DR.. Frederick H. Baker
the medical examiner, was also wit
ness. In case Miller should be indicted
it will not be reported publicly until the
man is in custody.

THE BRIBERY CHARGES.
ohio's Senate Meets a Barrier in the
Investigation.

Columbus, o., JAN 19.-The investiga-
ton into the charges of bribery at the re-
cent election of United States senator
reached crisis tonight. The senate com
mittee last night examined Samuel Pent-
land, Frank P. Ross, W. f. Truesda1e
and Shepherd NJ Dunlap, who then asked
to confer with their attorneys, and were
excused till tonight. When they appeared
tonight they said their attorneys held that
the senate had no jurisdiction in the in
vestigation of the alleged bribery of a
member of the house, and had advised
them not to answer any further questions
before the committee. They and Mr. Hol-
lenbect of the republican state executive
committee all followed the advice of their
attorney and refused to answer questions
The senate chamber was crowded The
witnesses replies showed that most EN-
inent lawyers had been engaged in the
case. The members of the house investi-
cation committee were present, but none
of them took any part Each witness
was told that he was held under Service by
the committee, and should report tomor-
row night or sooner If called. The COM
mittee will make a partial report to the
senate tomorrow, and will ask the senate
to punish the witnesses for contempt and
to give the investigators full authority,
