ARTISTS NIGHT.
Whitinsville Concert Was a
Success as Usual.

Whitinsville, Jan. 25.-The Whitins-
vile Musical Association held the sec
ond concert this evening in Memorial
Hall. Artists night, as it was called
brought out almost all the people who
could get into Memorial Hall comfort
ably, and the concert was of unusual
merit
The attraction Of the evening was
the artists quartet or Boston, COM
posed Of Mrs. Jennie Patrick Walker
soprano, Miss Gertrude Edmunds con-
tralto, George J. Parker tenor, D. NJ
Babcock basso, and Frank o. Nash ac-
companist, also of Bosom
The soloists did their parts well. The
program was of a high standard, yet
it contained no music that was labor
ious to follow.
Rev. P. S. O'Reilly, pastor of st. Pat
r1cks Church, Whitinsville. Mass, said
mass Sunday, and read the financial
statement for 1898. 1t was eminently
satisfactory and encouraging. The re-
ceipts, S905004, balanced the expendi-
lures of the new st. Patricks parish.
Receipts for pew rent amounted to
$431550; donation by Father OReilly
$500; all other sources $2694.54.

ALL QUIET.
No Excitement in
Marlboro Shops.
HUB COME RENCE.
Strikers Hang Non-union
Man in Efigy.

Marlboro, Jan. 25.-Today has been
the quietest day since the commence
ment of the present labor trouble.
This short sentence tells the story of
the last "a hours in this city. 1t does
not mean that the interest in the ques-
ton at issue between the manufacturers
and shoe workers has dwarfed in i'm
portance.
On the contrary, the whole city is
hushed with expectancy that a settle
ment may be reached, that employees
and employee may meet together as al
lies.
The state board of arbitration re-
ceived the manufacturers in Boston to-
day, but what was transacted at that
meeting is not known. The manufac-
turers returned to Marlboro on the 1926
o'clock train, but not word escaped
their lips when asked concerning the
meeting.
1t is believed, however that the re-
ply of the joint council to the sugges-
tons of the state board were read. That
is as far as guesses go.
Meanwhile, the strike continues, and
both sides appear to be working as
hard as possible to win their points
Very few outside people came into
town today to go into the factories, and
the pickets had comparatively an easy
day,
The most amusing incident connect
ed with the girl strikers that has hap
pened for a long time, occurred last
evening. One of the state officers sta
toned at the Middlesex factory, last
evening, suddenly saw q young lady
apparently followed by a crowd of
girls. Naturally he went to her as
sistance and offered his protection.
Continuing on her way, she declined the
protfered aid. The girls behind her still
followed on. The member of the state
force did not shirk his duty, however,
and kept close to the girl, whom he
thought worked in a factory and was
being pursued by the crowd therefrom.
After going a long distance, the girl
finally convinced the officer that she
did not need the protection offered her,
and that she was well acquainted with
the retinue that had accompanied her
such a distance.
The officer saw the joke. and no fur
Their trouble occurred. The strikers
bear no animosity toward the state po-
lice. They rather look upon them as
pretty good fellows who are obliged to
perform their duty.
Lewis Adams of the Boston immigra-
ton department was in town today
looking up violations of the contract
labor law. 1t has been claimed that
a person named Poudry arrived in Bos-
ton from Nova Scotia tnursday and
came Immediately to Marlboro, going
to work in Frye's shoe factory Mon
day. 1t is stoutly asserted that he
came from Nova Scotia in direct vio-
lation of the law named. A man en-
ployed by Mr.. Frye is alleged to have
brought this man from Nova Scotia to
this city.
An effigy of a man who recently went
to work in one of the factories, hangs
from the f1agpole at the corner of South
Beach and Liberty streets. The figure
attracts much attention.
