SIPS In Revenue Stamps on the Deed Left
For Record al City Hall.

The transfer OF the Corliss steam
engine plant has finally been made.
and the transfer was placed on record
at the city hall hate yesterday after
noon. Several gentlemen Interested !
the new Hoadley syndicate were in
Providence To attend TO the necessary
negotiations and the recording of the
transfer OF the property was conclu-
sive evidence that the troubles which
led to the appeal TO the supreme court
had been adjustd. The deed of trans
fer contained $125 worth OF revenue
stamps, representing a purchase price
Of S125, 600.
The negotiations over the purchase
OF the plant have been going on since
early i'm February. and 1t was then
stated that Mr.. Hoadley had secured
control of the works. \ short time
after this Mr.. -. NJ. Thompson, repre-
sentng the Corliss company, applied
FOR an Injunction against Joseph II,
HOadley and others to prevent their
taking action under the conveyances
and other securities which Mr.. Thomp-
son contended had been obtained from
him without proper consideration. but
after the first day Mr.. Thompson threw
up his hands and paid the costs OF the
litigation. Since then the differences
between Mr.. Thompson and the repre-
sentatives Of the syndicate. have been
settled amicably.
IL was decided between the parties
to let some third party mutually sat-

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter finds text for a sermon on the
subject of hours OF labor in the com
parison between the peaceful condi-
tions existing in the cotton industry In
Massachusetts, and the strikes which
are embarrassing labor and capital in
the Industry i'm Rhode Island. Rhode
Island labor legislation has proceeded
reluctantly In reducing the hours which
may be demanded of a mill worker.
and the difference between the legal
hours in Massachusetts and our state
has often been advanced by manufac-
turers OF both sections as a reason why
the cotton Industry could he more pro-
fitably conducted here than over the
border But experience has seemed 70
demonstrate not only that the sum
total OF human happiness in the COM
munities affected has been Increased by
the hw restricting the hours OF labor
In Massachusetts, but that the manu-
Featuring interests ore placed al no
disad,antagc thereby. that the shorter
hours tend 20 greater efficiency on the
part OF the mill labor and that capital
has no reason to complain and i In all
probability a positive gamer by the
legislation. A. all events. just at this
time when capital and labor in Rhode
Island are disputing over the wage
schedules. In Massachusetts the ad-
vance In wages has been attended by
the greatest good feeling between en-
pIoyer and employed and the Masse-
chuset:s cotton men are getting more
out Of their shorter hours than our
people are by a goodiy amount.

TO the credit of the person who received
IL. The witness was not permitted to
designate the person by name. He
found this Item on the stub Of the cash
ier's check book. but what IL represented
he could not say until he had examined
the calculations in the red book" Here
he found the amount entered. and the
indications that IL had been paid by the
cashiers check on Nov. 4. 1897.
Another item OF s5532 10 he found in the
regular book. dated May "a, 1894. and
found the same item in the red book
dated oct. 80. 1894. He stated that
there were other entries i'm the red book
which explained transactions In the
regular book, but the two instances
specified were the only ones in which he
could reach accurate conclusions as to
their nature and purpose.
Mr.. Goldsmith said that when he first
opened the red book he did not con-
slider ii "a book OF the bank. but when he
compared the calculations entered on
its pages with the transactions i'm the
other books, he was forced 10 consider
it book OF the bank He explained this
by saying that prior TO 1891 calculations
such as appeared in the red book" were
regularly entered I'm the ledger. but since
then the red book" had been substi-
tuted and fulfilled and fixed the same
results.

During the cross-examination OF the
witness. which was conducted by Mr..
Shields. he testified to page which was
missing. The defense repeatedly en-
deavored TO get from him the statement
that there might have been figures and
words on that page which would clearly
explain the entries on the other pages
and that the book as IL now stands is
undesirable. This was ruled out, fol-
lowing an objection by the district at
torney. This would seem 10 indicate
that when the final effort TO present the
book In evidence comes. the defense will
make another determined opposition TO
IL on that ground. even if the court
should decide that with relation to the
transactions testified TO il is a book of
the bank.
During all the examination touching
on the book with the exception of the
two items mentioned, no intimation OF
the amounts or names was allowed TO
reach the jury. The prosecution all
along, however, has alleged this book
will show that Cashier Hopkins com
