An oID-rIME FAvoRITE.

The Cld-time favorite Uncle Josh
Spruceby will be at the Opera House
On Tuesday afternoon and night. This
popular play is now in its tenth sue
cessful season. The charm of the play
is in its rustic simplicity. The scenes
are taken from Vermont rural life, and
the character Of Uncle Josh as the hon.
est old farmer is true to life. The
story is told in a manner that is ir-
resistible. Mr. Lewis has staged the
piece in splendid shape, and it affords
ample opportunity for displaying the
startling mechanical effects which ar,
introduced. Thirty-hve people are in
the company. A big parade and bant
concert is given daily at noon by the
splendid concert band which is carried
by the company.

Fall River Mass. Aug l7-Oners we're

the seventy print cloth mills In this city
by the English promoters of the yarns
mills combination, which was formed
some time ago.
Print cloth mills OF Fan River are cons
trolled by thirty-six corporations Treas
urers we're asked TO secure from their
stockholders an option on the controlling
interest in the stock untn Dec /, 1899.
The option states that 1t Is the intention,
so far as may be deemed practicable, to
continue the business under its existing
management.
The prices offered for the stock Of the
various mills are, for the most part, from
Sl5 to $25 per share above the last quoted
market price. Offers are made for thirty
corporations with a combined capital OF
$lS.153,700. The bids did not include the
Fall River Iron Works mills, nor the
Parker Robson. sade and Hargraves
corporations
Many treasurers are opposed TO the con-
soldauon. but large percentage of stock
holders are said to be disposed to accept
the offer The following is a list of tho
corporations which have received an Of
fer:
American Linen Company, Arkwright-
Barnard Manufacturing Company, Border

No sooner had the fact of the offer by
! the English syndicate to purchase tho
| Fall River cotton mills been announced
than it became known that another and
much larger syndicate had entered tho
field ana was busy, through a New York
man, in arranging matters preparatory to
making a larger offer than that Of the
English people II is stated that the cap
! ital of this new corporation Is to be $780,
| 100000 at least, and the aim Is to con-
solidate all the cotton mills in the coun-
try under one management. the purpose
being to reduce the cost of production.
The New York man states that he will
confer tomorrow with the syndicate mem-
bers. and within forty-eght hours viii
offer a bid in competition with the Eng
| lsh concern.
From present appearances 1t seems that
| the situation may develop into an auc-
ton sale, to all intent, Of $50O0O,OOO worth
Of Fall River cotton Industries to the
highest bidder At present, however, tho
only bid in evidence is that of the English
| syndicate.
