WOOLEN BUSINESS BOOMING.
0lneWHls Factories Will Soon Be Running on
Overtime 10 FIJI Orders.

Business in the Olneyville woolen and
worsted factories is improving and a
veritable boom is looked for by the big
manufacturers.
At the Atlantic mills, where there are
more than 2000 operatives, the orders
from New York are larger and at bet
ter prices than have been for years.
The working force at the Atlantic is 10
be greatly increased, and the manufac-
ture of spring and summer weights
may force the concern TO run day and
night. All operatives will work full
time this week. Better prices for goods
are prevailing, and i'm many instances
the manufacturers values have IN
creased upward of 20 cents "A yard. The
mill is also 10 turn out higher priced
fabrics, largely for women's wear, ana
goods that sell at the mill at from S2
TO 81 yard are an ordinary thing.

Asked His Wife 10 Return the Cash, but
She Retained II TIL He Died.
A BILL FILED BY THE EXECUTRIX.
In Il She Seeks 10 Recover The Mensy Taken.
Defendant Claims That The Plaintiff
Has Remedy al Law.

Whether bill I'm equity can be main
tanned by the executrix of a deceased
husbands will against his widow TO re-
cover a sum OF money that il is claimed
the widow wrongfully converted TO her
own use. was the interesting point
raised by the demurrer in the cause of
Bridget \. McSherry, executrix of the
last will and testament of the late Ed
ward McSherry against Mary A. Nc
Sherry. The demurrer of the defend
ant alleged that the plaintiff had an
adequate remedy at law.
Edward McSherry, il is claimed,
short time before his death put $500 in
800 bills in roll and hid the same
under the carpet in his bedroom. and
after he became very sick Mrs. Mary
\. McSherry, his wife, found il. Mr.
McSherry, it is claimed, told his wife,
after he ascertained she had found out
where the money was. that he would
like to have it, but she ignored his re-
quest, and he not having any physical
strength left could only use his powers
of eloquence to get il back, which fall
ing, he died with the money in her
possession.
Arthur Gushing, who was associated
with Page * Page, for the respondent,
argued that the money could have been
recovered by the eXecutrix in an action
for money had and received. The point
was made by James NJ. Gilrain, counsel
for the complainant, that the act was
one concerning transactions between
husband and wife. The chief justice
called attention TO recent decision OF
the court that troyer could be main
tained between husband and wife.
Mr.. Gilrain said that the bill was
filed before the decision i'm the trover
case. and that the decisions in other
states upheld the ground that equity
was the proper place To seek relief i'm
regard 10 transactions between hus-
bands and wives. He also argued that
equity once having jurisdiction might
hear any matters arising under such
Jurisdiction.

AT THE CITY HALL.
Changes at Railway Station May Be
Considered by Council.
Officers Make Tour Of Police Stations For
Purposes Of Inspection.

There is an impression that a resolu-
ton relative 20 certain improvements
at the new passenger station will be
introduced at tonight's meeting of the
common council, although the matter
has not yet been fully decided upon. II
is well known that recently certain
members OF the city government called
the attention OF the railroad company
TO the need OF addition exists from the
subways, and il was suggested that
each platform should have two flights
OF stairs TO each subway.
Mr.. auckland. the legal representa-
tive of the company. agreed with these
views and said that the stairs ought
10 be built as soon as practicable. He
stated that he did not feel at liberty
TO order any unusual changes in the
station, as the present arrangements
had been passed upon by the city, and
that before opening up the platforms
il seemed proper Go have an under
standing with the city council. A reso-
luton to this effect was drafted. and
il also calls for some form of shelter
over The stairs. No type is specined
but the council and the company prob
ably will agree upon housing com
posed largely of glass, which can DC
opened and closed according 10 weather
conditions. The resolution, II Is under

back for action, and when passed the

The report in certain out OF town pa

the call extended TO him from the YES
try of Grace church this city is 20 say
the least. premature, inasmuch as the
Anthony and Gardiner. do not expect
TO hear from DR.. Rousmaniere for
about week yet.
When the committee from Grace
church called upon DR.. Rousmaniere
last week, the reverend gentleman ask
ed a number OF questions that were
answered, and he then said that he
would take the call under considera-
tion, but before arriving at a decision
he wished 10 talk with Bishop Law

of New York. DR. Rousmaniere is ex-
pected in Providence tomorrow, when
he will see Bishop Mcvickar and ..Ir.
Tomkins, and on Wednesday he will go
to New York TO see DR.. Greer.
Thus the matter stands for the pres
ent. although there is a most decided
hope that DR.. Rousmaniere will finally
decide to accept the call. From private
letters received in this city IL is known
that DR.. Greer heartily favors DR..
Rousmaniere as the next rector or
