BUSINESS BOOMS.
Rice & Hutchins Claim to
Have Sufficient Help.

Things were still moving slowly at
the Rice & Hutchins factory on the
boulevard yesterday. While the man
agement will say nothing at all regard
ing the prospects, it looks as though
the strikers We're to find themselves
worsted in this particular direction.
The new factory has all the hands
needed for the machinery now in place
and from the busy hum which comes
from the building, the impression is re-
ceived that it has been thing of all
time rather than a new born ipstitu-
ton.
The shoe workers of Worcester claim
that they have an almost perfect union
here, and that it is only a question of
a short time before they will see the
free notices removed from the factories
in this city and none but union men
employed.
The LasterS' Union met ct Labor Lall
last night, but had very little to say re-
garding the Marlboro affair. Only rou-
tine business was done and the meeting
adjourned early.
The management of the Rice & Hut
chins factory refuses to say whether
any of the Marlboro men are employed
in the new factory, and in reply TO the
question whether they had enough
stitchers, the only thing which could
be learned was that everything was
humming.

THE OLD, THEN TIE NEW.

The dissolution meeting of the repub-
lican city committee of 1898 will be held
at republican headquarters on Satur-
day evening at o'clock. At that time
reports will be read from committees
and the treasurer will render his final
account. This account is somewhat
overdue, owing to illness in the family
of the treasurer. The rules of the
committee provide that each subscriber
to the funds of the committee shall re-
ceive statement of the receipts and
disbursements for the year not later
than Dec. 81.
The first meeting of the republican

held at republican headquarters next

Tatman of the present city committed,
The officers for the year will be elected
at that time. Walter F. Gleason will be
chosen chairman, as no other member
OF the committee desires the position.
j. Wesley Gray, a member from ward
seven, is slated for the position of sec
rotary, and it is probable that ITcrmon
5. Hastings, who has been the clerk of
the committee for several years, will be
retained.
At this meeting it is probable that
there VIII be some discussion on the
rules to be adopted for the government
of the committee, and on the question
as to whether or no the Headquarters
shall be kept open during the entrd
year or only during the active cam
paign.
The republicans of ward five viii hold
their banquet and celebration at the
Creamerie next Tuesday evening, and
a large number of the prominent re-
publicans of the ward have signitiad

peared to have the most strength. The

1T WAS SLUCUM.
Word Received That He and the East
River Suicide Were the Same.

Information received yesterday by
Miss Lillian L. Whipple, leaves but lit
tie doubt in the minds of friends of
John H. Slocum but that his was the
body found near the East river in New
York, last summer.
The first letters from the morgue
keeper conveyed the impression that
later advice shows that the body was
found near the river pank and that
the man shot himself.
Yesterday Miss Whipple received a
letter from Mrs. p. II. Slocum OF Hop
kinton, a daughter-in-law of the miss
ing man, stating that she had a letter
from her brother. III. d. Anes OF New
York. saying that he visited the 26th
street morgue and saw picture Of the
man supposed to be John H. Sloeuln
In his mind, there is little doubt but
the body Of the suicide found by the
banks and the missing Worcester man
are identical.
The initials of j. H. s., 1874, were
tattooed on the arm of the suicide, and
although there was some doubt in the
minds of Worcester friends regarding
this inscription, Hopkinton people who
knew Slocum well say such marks ex-
ioNVo Sth thC LllhC vi Ills tllAFTldSe, WHICH
took place In that town, whsn Mr.. Slo-
cum was about 20 years old
Mr.. Slocum disappeared from this
city last May, and. according to the
morgue records, his body was found
In an open field near the East river, a
few days later. Mr.. Slocum was fore
man in a local shoe factory for about
20 years, and shortly before his disap-
pearance was discharged on account
of some changes that were made in
employees. He brooded over his dis
charge TO a considerable extent, and
this is thought to have led up to his
action.
Nothing has been heard from the let
ter of inquiry sent by the police, but
an endeavor will be made to secure a
copy of the picture at the morgue, in
order that his friends in this city may
have an opportunity of judging wheth-
e" it is a likeness of the missing man
or not.

QUITE A ROMANCE.
That is, It viii Be When the Gallant Sol
der Finds His Worcester Girl.


E. S. Pressler, private in the Third
Illinois volunteers, who is still doing
duty at Santiago, is very anxious to
discover the identity Of 8. fair Worces
ter maiden who coyly placed q letter
in a bundle of clothing that was do
mated by Worcester people to the sup
plies sent on the hospital ship Bay
state to Santiago, to alleviate the suf-
ferlngs of the soldier boys.
The garment containing the Dlissiye
which read as follows: will the sol
der who finds this note write at once
to Beauty, box. 2S6 Worcester, Mass, "
fell into Pressler's hands, and his curl
osity became aroused when he met Tn
dertaker c. III. Callahan at Santiago
and he asked all manner of questions
of the genial Worcester man, and begg-
ed of him to do his best to locate the
girl and tell her that the only thing
that has kept him from answering was
the fact that Uncle Sam had not seen
fit to pay him his IA per- and he was
without the wherewithal to purchase
a postage stamp.
Pressler implored Mr.. Callahan to find
the fair maid, if possible, and tell her
to wait patiently, and If she was as
good as she appeared to be to him in
his dreams, he would make her queen
of Sandwich, Illinois, which is the ard
ent lovers abiding place.
Mr.. Callahan promised to do all he
could to locate the girl, whose address
is box 2S6, Worcester, Mass.

burban traffic in the very near future.
Those who have faith in compressed
air as a means of locomotion, are con-
fident that when once used at all, it
will soon supplant steam entirely.
The builders of the engine here
shown claim for it speed of 70 miles
in go minutes with the, power to cover
that distance without having to be re-
charged II this speed is realized the
Empire State express will be to train
drawn by an air engine, what it is now
to slow-moving freight.
Should air Misplace steam on a large
railroad like the New York Central, it
will revoiutionize all present methods
Of railroad traffic Not only will greater
speed be accomplished, but increased
economy will result. Fuel will be I'M
necessary. The engine will not have
to stop for water. SCOT and smoke will
be unknown. Old-time firemen and
engineers will suffer from the change,
but the general travelling public VIII
be benefited.
The air engine looks awkward and
strange to the as yet unaccustomed OBJ
server. who misses the smolkestack, bell,
whistle, piston, driving rod and all the
other appurtenances of Well-con-
etructed locomotive. But this simplic-
fty Is one Of the strong points of the
engines construction. 1t is no longer
necessary to employ such mass of
complicated and easily destructible ma
chinery as formerly.
Inasmuch as it has been announced
that the suburban lines entering the
new terminal station in Boston are to
discard steam Worcester people need
not be surprised to hear any day that
the Boston and Albany has decided to
initiate the New York Central with
which 1t is Intimately allied and adopt
service.
1t is not an impcssibility that trains
draw, by the new power will before
long go flying over the rails between
Worcester and Boston, making the trip
in a trife over half an hour.
