The canvass of Lieutenant Governor
Jones for the governorship has not
been very loud and noisy up to date,
but some Of his friends are making
wonderful claims. They make the
definite announcement that Jones will
enter the convention with not less
than 300 votes pledged to him, and
that his showing on the first ballot will
be considerably in excess of that figure
In their estimates they include all
eastern Ohio, and declare they have as
suranees. of support also from all sec
tions of the state, and profess to be
very sanguine Of his nomination. The
claim made is all right rom Jones
point of view, but it is not believed
that it is justified by the situation.-

ADVISE PATIENCE.
New Hampshire Farmers Have InVes-
tigated Lawyer Briggs of the Milk
Producers Union.

New Hampshire Farmers Have Inves-
tieated Lawyer Briggs of the Milk
Producers Union.
Worcester milk producers are not the
only ones that are endeavoring to learn
just what has become of the SIS, 900 that
was subscribed by New England farm
ers for stock in the New England Milk
Producers Union. A report from
Manchester, N. H., says that the farm
ers of the Granite state have been hay-
ing a quiet little investigation of their
own. They have discovered a great
deal about Lawyer Briggs of New York,
whom the farmers have been criticising
ever since they began to make inqui-
r1es into the question of what has been
done with the funds in his possession.
AS a result Of this investigation, the
Granite state farmers advise patience,
and recommend that the contract with
Mr.. Briggs be adhered to- This looks
more cheering.
The Manchester committee reports
that the company was legally bound by
a contract adroitly drawn by Mr.
Briggs, and that there was no way for
them to break the contract; that Mr.
Briggs was a member of the Wisconsin
legislature in 1881, and had an honor
able record for 20 years; that he was
postmaster four years under Cleve-
lands administration; that he was dis
trict attorney for his county; that he
had been candidate for attorney gen
eral of Wisconsin; that the papers Of
the company in the hands of the secre-
tary in New England were correct, and
that receipts were on file; that the
Pure Milk Company is making arrange
ments to absorb the New England Milk
Producers Company as soon as details
can be arranged

INDIAN MISSIONARY.
Bishop Neerschaert Has Had Thrilling
Experiences In the West.

Bishop Neerschaert Has Had Thrilling
Experiences In the West.
Bishop Meerschaert of Indian Terri
tory. for half century missionary
laborer among the savage Indian tribes
of the far west. was in Worcester yes
terday. He is on his way back to the
territory. after a visit to Rome, where
he had an important interview with the
pope.
The bishop comes of fine old French
stock. His grandfather was court ply
stefan during the days Of the first en-
pire, when the glory of the great Ma
poleon glowed with the splendor of the
monday sun. Although 70 years Of
age, his active outdoor life in the wilds
of the west has preserved the eagle
keenness Of his eye and the firm, elias
tic step of his younger days. He
speaks the various Indian dialects as
if they were his native tongue.
The tribal laws among the Indians,
he says, are as simple as the patriarchal
regulations of the early ages. If a red
man will persist in getting primed on
fire-Water he is locked up for week
with only one banana day, to keep
his stomach in good humor. On his
release, he goes on a months probation.
This might be a good experiment to
try in Worcester.
Missionary work among the Indian
tribes. especially so years ago, was not
as pleasant as taking a holiday trip to
Europe, 1t was a life Of hardship al
ways. and frequently of danger. The
bishop on one occasion was attacked
by the Navajoes, and tied to a tree.
After knocking his teeth out and club
bling him irto Inconsistencies, they
started to kindle the fagots meaning
to burn him at the stake.
The willingness with which the bishop
submitted to his fate and his apparent
Indifference to death. excited the admit
ration of the chief, and he ordered the
flames eXtingushed. The bishop was
nursed back to life. and afterward had
the pleasure of converting the tribe
from savagery to Christianity. His
life would make an interesting book.
1t teens with such incidents.
The Indians had a custom in those
still keep it up, of killing all but the
first born. This in a way resembles
the old Spartan custom of doing away
with weaklings, and that of the, Chi
nese at the present time. The bishop
at first used to purchase the little VIC
tins AMI rear them on sleeps milk,
hut today owing to his ministrations,
the tribe has abandoned the barbarous
custom.
Two Of the Indian boys he raised on
sheeD's milk are tc be soon elevated

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York. Dec. 5.-Today's events in
the stock market brought additional
encouragement to those who had been
attempting to maintain advance prices.
Liquidation was the order of the day,
and many holders who have waited
weeks, hoping for bull market, threw
over their holdings today. The weak
ness was most apparent in the indus
trials and specialties, but the railroad
stocks were very generally sold.
There was some buying of stocks last
week, on the presumption that the
presidents message was to be a bull
ish document, and its publication today
brought profit-taking from those
sources.
Quite number of industrial securi-
ties closed from to points lower on
the day. A single lot of United States
Milling preferred sold at II, against 22A
on the last preceding sale. This stock
sold Sept. Is at 1874. The principal in
fiuence in the days weakness, however
was the money situation, the spasmodic
character Of the selling, and the result
ing dullness of intervening periods of
loan contraction by the banks, the call
ing of loans forcing blocks Of securities
upon the market which found no sup
port awaiting them.
There were some slight signs of hard
ness in the earlier hours, especially in
Sugar and some railroad stocks. The
Trunk lines remained comparatively
firm throughout, but the slight evil
dences of strength elsewhere, caused
them to give way to the general tide of
weakness
Call money reached s per cent early

rior centres continues at a material dis

demptions, that institution was cred

dency is increased by the approach of
the annual settlement period for cor
porations and preparation for the spe-
cial demand for money which will be
made by it upon the supply.
Sterling rates advanced again today
in New York, Paris and Berlin, not
! withstanding a further easing of the
rate for call money at London.
The New York rate is now within a
fraction of the gold export point, and it
is probable that only a stiff rate for
| money in the local market will hold it
below that point. The closing of the
stock market was generally easy and
near the lowest. Bonds declined in

FINANCIAL NOTES.

A healthy revival of railroad building
in Texas is taking place, and is largely
due to the action of the legislature at
it's last session in passing bills to pro-
mote the consolidation of the various
smaller companies with the parent
companies. This legislation has
cleared the way for the construction
of 400 miles of road.
Hetty Green, in commenting upon the
losses in the Franklin Syndicate com
pany, says: ut is the same old lesson
which people seem never to be wise
enough to learn. 1t is the lesson that
two and two make four, and not 40.
If there was a country in the world
where people got $40 per cent. for their
money, l wouldn't want to live in 1T"

STRIKING MOLDERS

Great interest now centers in the ef-
forts OF the striking molders to prevent
Providence and Pawtucket foundries
from obtaining castings from out-of-
town foundries. Before the strike was
inaugurated, IL is said, arrangements
were made 10 have castings made in
Boston, New York and Chicago, and
some OF ,these castings have already
been received here. The strikers are
keeping a close watch and have in
structed union molders everywhere to
be on the alert To prevent such aid be-
ing given the hode Island which refuse
TO recognize the union card, abolish
piece work, or TO grant the minimum
wage scale.
A strike was inaugurated at Fair
Haven yesterday and another is likely
to be seen i'm Boston and New Bedford,
according To Providence molders, IL the
foundries there. To which Providence
shops have patterns, try TO make any
castings from them. Only the union
shops not affected by the strike are
making any successful castings, sever

owing TO attempts of inexperienced
hands TO make castings.
Gradually other departments of these
foundries are being forced 10 shut down
as they finish the work in hand, and
