WILL RALLY IN FORCE.
Socialists to Celebrate April
Both as Universal
Labor Day.

The great International Labor day,
April Both, is what the socialists of
this city are now looking forward to,
Slsid already plans are being laid to
hold the first celebration of this uni
yersal holiday in this city in an ap-
propriate manner. Never before have
the socialists here observed this day,
which the members of the organiza-
ton are striving to have observed
throughout the civilized earth.
The day is now duly commemorated
in England, Germany, Italy, and
France by all socialist bodies, and this
year it is arranged that every section
in the country shall support this move
ment for a universal holiday by cele-
brating the Both of the current month
with BETTING ceremonies. To this end
there will be five open air meetings in
various parts of the city.
The big meeting will take place on
the common, near Liberty mound, and
for this special exercise, one of the
most distinguished socianst speakers of
New England will be secured. The
other places for the dissemination of
socialistic knowledge will be Belmopt
hill, Quinsigamond Village, Vernon
square and Webster square. The torch
fires of universal truth and the broth
erhood of man will be lit throughout
the city, and the socialists prophesy
that confagration OF dissatisfaction
with the present induslrt,;l system and
longing for new one, will sweep over
the entire city.
In the evening the program will be
followed up by a grand mass meeting
in Horticultural Hall, where local so
cialist orators will hurl forth the thun-
derbolts of economic principles.
The party will formally resume its
campaign of education May 1st, from
which time Sunday meetings will be
held on the common weekly. A long
list. of well known speakers has been
secured, and from May list to the close
of the municipal contest in the fall the
alarm of capitalistic downfall will be
sounded with terrible frequency.
Commencing with that date, b. F.
Keinard, the most br.s;fant socialist
orator of the state of New York will
make a tour of the state with the hope
of arousing the working people Of the
commonwealth to the dire necessity of
the times, and sounding the clarion
call for the laboring men to rise for
their freedom and liberty.

JOSEPH CLARK FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
HIS PUNISHMENT FIXED AT
LIFE IMPRISONMENT.
The Attorneys for the Defense Sub
mitted Their Case Without
Argument-His Crime.

After celebrating for four hours. last
evening the jury in the Joseph Clark case
returned a verdict of murder in the first
degree and fixed the penalty at life i'm
prisonment.
At the opening Of the morning session
yesterday Assistant District Attorney
Graney began his argument. He analyzed
the evidence at length. but left the final
touches TO District Attorney Murphy.
Immediately after he concluded his adj
dress, TO the surprise of every one in the
courtroom, H. Digby Johnston who with
Louis p Boardman represented the de-
PENDANT. arose and stated that the de-
Tense would submit its case without argu-
ment. This unexpected move barred Dis
trict Attorney Murphy from making his
argument. and. judging from the row of
books he had caused to be brought into
the courtroom, the sudden termination of
the case disappointed him.
Judge Dunn then charged the jury, and
II retired TO deliberate on a verdict.
Shortly after o'clock word was sent in
that the jury could agree on a verdict,
but not before o'clock in the evening, so
the crowd fled out TO return at the hour
mentioned. Another wait was in store
for It, as the jury was not ready for some
time later.
Clark was tried for the killing OF Fire
man Joseph P. Gross in November last.
