ALL RETIceNT.
Brlnkworth and His Victim Have Recoy-
cred and Neither VIII Talk.

For the first time since that eventful
day when Walter Brtnkworth fired two
shots from a revolver into her back,
Miss Bessie McDonagh ventured out OF
doors Tuesday afternoon The day be-
ing beautiful one, she decided IT would
be of benefit to her to take a walk and
get the air. She stayed out most Of the
afternoon visiting the centre of the city,
where she did some shopping. Miss
McDonagh claims that she feels as well
as she ever did, and the walk she took
on Tuesday, which was a long and a
brisk one, had not the least effect on
hor. She was met on the street by sew
eral acquaintances. who extended their
best wishes for her speedy recovery,
which at one time looked doubtful.
Miss McDonagh was removed from
the ST. Vincent hospital a week ago
Saturday, and since the removal her
improvement is surprising. The house
hold duties which she was in the habit
of doing before the shooting occurrence,
she has again taken charge Of, and goes
about everything as If nothing had hap
pcned at all.
The subject of the shooting cannot be
preached to her either by her father or
brother. and nobody is the wiser of the
cause OF the deed Her father did not
wish to question her on the matter any
how. for he fears that it will greatly
put her back in health.
Mr.. McDonagh says that since the
day of the shooting he has not to his
knowledge heard her mention the name
of Brinkworth and he is sure she never
did to an outsider when she would not
speak to him about it.
Brinkworth is getting along nicely at
the city hospital, improving every day
and although the doctors feel sure of
his recovery, they cannot say with Ger
tainty how long it will be before he will
be in condition to be discharged.
The relatives Of Brinkworth are as
reacent as the McDonagh girl about
expressing views on the matter, and
the real cause Of the deed Will probably
never be known.

BUILDERS EXCHANGE.
A Post Office and a Secretary Are Now
the Puzzing Problems.

The new members post Office at the
Builders Exchange, which has been in
position for some weeks, has not been
accepted, and at the last meeting Of
the exchange a committee was ap-
pointed TO confer with the contractors,
c. w. Walls & Co., in regard to putting
the boxes in condition according to the
terms of the contract. The boxes 1873
in number are arranged in a compart-
men to the right of the platform, off
the main hall, and are very conve-
nient for the members of the exchange.
They are intended to take the place of
the larger wooden affairs which have
served the purpose of locker and mail
box for many years. Although the
boxes as arranged present a pleasing
appearance, it is claimed by many of
the members that the work is not fin
ished, and, in consequence, the board
refused to accept them. By the new
arrangement the mail is distributed by
the secretary. and each member is to
have his personal box as at the general
post office. The boxes are of peculiar
construction, provided with a slit at
the top, so that members may drop
messages into the boxes for fellow
members.
There will be an adjourned meeting
OIL the poaru OF directors on trloay
evening, to choose a successor to Sec
rotary Charles G. Brown. At the meet
ing last Saturday night, the board was
unable to make a choice from a field of
eight candidates after three hours de-
liberation. At that meeting nothing
further was done than to inquire into
the qualifications of the candidates,
but it is expected that at the meeting
on Friday choice will be made. In the
meantime, the position is being filed
by Lucius M. Waite, who has a desk
at the exchange, and who is a candi-
date for the vacant position. Among
the other prominent candidates are
Clarence A. Fenner, at present assis-
tapt secretary at the Y. M. C. A.. and
Ernest Mossman. 1t is probable that
q choice will be made from these three

WORK PROGRESSING.
Rice & Hutchins Factory Rapidly Getting
Under Way.


The Rice & Hutchins d factory still
moves on without the slightest shock
to mar the even tenor of its ways. New
operatives are being added daily as fast
as the machinery can be installed. Yes
terday the first shipment of new lasts
was received. and lasters will be put to
work the latter part of the week. The
stitching and cutting departments are
about full, though more of each class
of operatives may be added from time
to time.
The factory management has no
fears for the successful working of the
establishment, and the Marlboro strik-
ers are beginning to feel that they are
losing whatever hold they may have
had. The Worcester union do not seem
to be disposed to interfere in the matter
and unless it becomes necessary no ac-
ton will be taken by the union here.
