Senator Allison is credited with doing a
smart trick in aid of the $40. co., 900 appro-
priation to Spain. He learned that Vest
and some other democratic senators
meant to delay the bill, and so had it
brought up while the Missourian was alb
sent. Just as the vice president was read
ing 1t third time Senator Vest entered.
Allison at once went over to him and told
a funny story. thus engaging the new
comer's attention until the measure had
passed, there being only about a dozen
senators present at the time. Vest had
determined to use the bill as a means of
further discussing the Philippine ques-

WEAVERS ON A STRIKE.
Employees Of the Arlington
Mills Demand Higher Wages.
MILLS TEMPORARILY saDT DOWN

THE EMPLOYEES REFUSE TO RE
TURN TO WORK UNTIL THEIR
DEMAND OF A RAISE OF TWEEN
TY CENTS PER CUT is ACcEDED
TO.
weavers employed at the Arlington
mills. in Brandywine village, are on
strike. They demanded more pay for
their services, and about $3.50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon when told that
their demands would not be acceded to
quit work and went home.
The reason is that the company in
tends to weave a finer grade OF goods
than heretofore. and the employees
think that their pecompense should be
greater In turning out this article from
the loom than It was when coarser
article was manufactured.
The mills have only recently re-
sumed after being closed for about
three years, and this unexpected strike
will necessitate the shutting down OF
the entire plant and will throw about
200 men and women out OF work.
The weavers are being paid sixty-fye
cents cut now, and make a demand
of twenty cents more per cut, which
mounts to eight-five cents. They refer
he company to the Aberfoyle and Ara
sapha cotton mills in Chester, which
pay their weavers eighty-five cents per
cut, but these mills manufacture much
finer grade Of cotton fabric than the
Arlington mills, and pay their en-
ployes more than any other mill in this
part Of the country. The two Chester
mills pay a weaver 81 for seventy-fve
yards Of goods. having sixty picks TO
the inch, while the goods turned out
lby the Arlington mills have only fifty
one yards to the bolt and sixty-four
lpicks to the inch The looms Of the
lChester mills run / 1850 reeds TO the cut
while the local mills only run 1900.
The new managers Of the mills, who
are Baltimore parties, say that they are
3 unable to pay the money demanded by
their employees at the present time and
asked them to wait until they could
make some agreement with them. This
. the weavors absolutely refused to DO
e and Quit work with the expressed de-
= termination OF gaining their point.
General Manager Gambrill and other
t officials OF the company will meet
committee appointed by the men to-
! morrow, when an effort Will be made 10

ANOTHER CONTINUANCE
The Devine Case Goes Over
Until Tomorrow Morning.
A QUESTION OF LAW INVOLVED
MAGGIE SEGARs HELD IN $1,000
BAIL FOR UPPER COURT BY
JUDGE BALL THIS MORNING.


JUDGE BALL THIS MORNING.
The case of the state against Hugh
Devine, charged with murderously as
saulting William Begley, is still pend
ing in Municipal Court. The hitch now
is a point Of law.
At this mornings session Helen
Flanagan, the 10-year-old girl who
was subpoenaed yesterday as a witness,
and who could not be found, appeared
on the stand. Her testimony was prac-
tically the same as that given yester-
day by her mother relative to the af-
fair. She saw the beginning of the
trouble between Devine and Begley, but
left the house, No. S13 Buttonwood
street before the ending of the diff
Guilty. She noticed blood spots upon
the hallway paper. but saw no bricks
thrown.
James Clark was the next witness
called for the state, but he failed to
respond to his name, Mr.. Cahoon stat
ing that he was in Newport News. The
state closed here, and Mr. Harman, for
the defense, offered no testimony, as
no evidence convicting Devine with the
alleged assault was produced.
Mr.. Cahoon claimed that the present
hearing was but a continuance Of the
preliminary hearing held some weeks
ago, at which Clark testified that De-
vine threw the brick which inflicted
the injury upon Devine. Mr.. Harman
contended that the present hearing
had no bearing upon the former one,
that being nothing more than an in
quiry as to whether that was sufficient
evidence to hold Devine. Judge Ball
continued the case until tomorrow
morning in order to allow the at
torneys to cite authorities bearing upon
the point in question.
Maggie Segars, colored. was arraign-
{; ~ I charge of murderously assault
=. Alexander Scribner on September
2J. The testimony was to the effect
that Margaret walked into a pool room
on Front street and slashed Scribne1
across the face with a razor because he
refused to come out when she called
him. Scrfbner was playing pool with
Pugilist Jack Farrell at the time.
After the assault he was removed tc
the Delaware Hospital, where he has
been confined. Maggie admitted the
assault, but said she did not cut Alex
ander with razor, nor did she intend
to kill him. She was held in $1,000
bail for upper court.
William Mckinley and George Davis
drunk, were fined SO and costs each
Daniel Mcdonald, for disorderly con
duct, was assessedrs3 and costs.
John Sweeney, a boy, charged will

THE WATER IS PURE.
NO TYPHOID FEVER GERMS FoUNr
IN FRANKLIN STREET SPRING.
CAREFULLY ANALYZED BY EX-
PERTs AT DELAWARE COLLEGE.
IF CONTAMINATED MUST HAVE
BEEN IN PAST TEN DAYS.

BEEN IN PAST TEN DAYS.
The water from Franklin street
spring has been pronounced pure by the
meteorological experts at Delaware
College, no traces Of typhoid fever be-
ng found in it.
An examination Of sample of water
taken from the spring on September
|23, by Professor Chester, Of Delaware
College, has been completed by Profess
sor Ira Pierce. instructor Of the col
lege, under the direct supervision Of
DR.. Wolfe. state chemist at Newark
The analysis disclosed the fact that not
only the water is chemically pure, but
that it contains no germs Of any sort
that amount to anything.
DR.. Robin, state bacteriologist, also
carefully tested the water and found
that the only bacteria that existed was
in the small percentage Of from four to
eight in one cubic centimetre. This
is extremely low, as in pure, wholesome
running water as high as forty bacteria
in one cubic centimetre is a maximum
In wells, water is not considered un-
wholesome unless more than 100 bac
teria are found to the cubic cent?
metre.
No typhoid fever bacillus was founC
in the water taken from the spring b!
Professor Chester. It is stated that i
any exist in the samples still to be ex
amined, the water nust have been con
taminated within the past ten days.
Secretary Wigglesworth, Of tn
Board of Health, visited Newark yes
Iterday and held a consultation with tn
Delaware College instructors, and al
are unanimous that the present epi
Idemic Of typhoid, if any epidemic reall
Iexists, is not due to the water from tn
lspring at Franklin street.
