ers' premiums on extra harness and cx-
ira shuttles at tho National-Providencc

The premiums amount To tenth OF a
cent n yard for each extra harness over
II, and a half cent a yard for each shut
tie over four The weavers say that II
the premiums are abolished. IL VIII in ef-
feet be reduction OF wages. especially
as the heavyweight season Is now being
cnterd. and 1t is in the making OF heavy
weights that the extras figure prominent
~.
These extras arc paid only i'm the Ma
tional- Providence and in the Weybosset
mills. Prior TO the big strike in 1898 they
were very generally paid.
No notices have been posted concerning
the intention TO abolish these extras. Dut
weavcrs said they had been informed
that such action Is 10 be taken ana VIII
go into effect next Monday.
They have discussed the matter among
themselves with much feeling. but also
I'm "A very quiet way. IL led To the special
meeting of last evening
AZ the meeting last night IL was de-
clared that after the curtailment of pro-
OF the wooden and worsted industry in
the past year, "A strong demand tor goods
is anticipated. and there is no necessity
for cutting down the earnings OF the
WeaVers
one OF the union officials was inter-
viewed after the meeting and he was
asked IL IL was probable that the trouble
would result i'm "a strike.
He said that il is the intention of those
concerned in the matter TO avoid such
measure and proceed along the most con
servative lines i'm an endeayor 10 seek ad-
justment OF the situation by conference
with the management OF the mills.
He said the grievance committeet had
decided TO call special meeting that the
workers as a whole might decide what
should be done and take action only after
thorough consideration OF the entire sit
uatiOn.
lie said further, or course we never
thought they would so out on strike in
1895 after the experience OF 1885, but they
did so. We leave that to the weaNers.
They will all have an equal voice in IL,

SEASIDE MEETING.

Further on Smith said he had met the
mother widow. ten years before at the
seashore. At that time the daughter
was only seven. He paid the relict some
attentions for nine years and then awoke
10 a realization OF the fact That the
daughter had grown into a very beauti-
ful young woman.
lie fell In love with her and said he
had every reason To believe his affections
were reciprocated. But here the mother
objected and became cold to both. She
refused her consent to any marriage, de-
spite the pleadngs of the two, and when
he mentioned acid she had gone TO the
police station and complained.
When the Magistrate announced his
decision Miss Bellamy burst into tears
and ran over TO the prisoner. Then the
collar and neckte rumple episode took
place Some OF the policemen and others
present looked sad when they saw this.
When Smith said II would be AN easy
thing for him TO get bail the sorrowful
complainant frightened up.

BANK COMBINE.
Consolidation Of -Four Institu-
tiOnS Almost a Certainty.

The greatest national bank Providence
ever had is said TO be one OF the GER
tainties OF the near future There will
be a consolidation of several national
banks TO accomplish the desired end, and
the preliminary work is already well un-
der way
This is only carrying out what was
stated In the News several weeks ago.
at which time the reports was denied
by the officers OF the several banks, but
the denial was never accepted seriously.
The banks which II is said are 10 join
In this consolidation are the Fifth Ma
tlonal bank. the Rhode Island National
bank, the Second National bank and one
other.
The Rhode Island National bank has
already given sanction TO the movement
Its directors on Wednesday voted TO go
into liquidation. IL is said that the di-
rectors of the Second National bank
also have already taken steps toward
a similar movement. but of this there is
not yet absolute certainty.
The banks are to do business under
the name of the United States National
bank with -eaPita-ef 81 ,o00, Goa and
they are 10 be located I'm the rooms now
occupied by the Fifth National bank on
Exchange place.
The plan Is 10 have a big financial
institution, under the national banking
laws, which will Offset 10 some extent
the growing popularity and enormous
growth OF the big trust companies which
have recently engulfed many OF the na-
tional banks in this state.

Smith CpuTted the Widow BEL
Iamy for Nine Years.
THEN HIS AFFECTIONS CHANGED
Wanted 10 Marry Miss Bsllamy and Was
Arrested for Threatening 10 Burn
Her With vitrlo.

New York, Feb. l6.--The necktie OF
George e. Smith was clinsing closely TO
his ear where an ardent embrace had ele-
waited IL when he walked sadly back"
His thoughts were bitter at the time
because he admitted. his situation was
the result OF his own heedlessness. lie
had attempted TO transfer his affections
from a pretty mother to a pretty daugh-
ter, and, as is generally the case signally
failed.
The embrace Smith had received from
the daughter but that did not furnish
the $500 bonds he had been asked 20 pro-
duce as earnest that he would keep the
peace for the next six months.
Smith is thirty years old, and an insur-
anee adJuster. and lives at 4a East
Eighty-ninth street. The nominal COM
plainant against him was Alice II. Bel
lamy, seventeen years old, who lives with
her mother az 1OII East l33d street.
AN UNWILLING COMPLAINT
She did not like the job. Her mother,
on the other hand who admitted she had
Hktu nlIlN-tlkul years, pbN sum A'N
attractions, was obdurate She charged
that Smith had threatened TO burn her
daughter with vitriol If she refused to
marry him on Feb. IL.
Little Miss Balamy did not want TO
prosecute. and when Smith came into
court with an officer she ran over 10 him
and began 10 talk excitedly The mother
austereiy ordered her back and expressed
fears that that man would harm her
own precious child
The daughter made petulant answer
suggesting to the hearers that sbe and
her mo,ler were not on the best of terms.
Miss Bellamy asked the Magistrates
permission to withdraw the charge. She
said she did not want TO press IL, she
never had wanted TO press It, and she
had been compelled to do so by some one
else The girls request was refused and
the Magistrate asked the young man If
he had threatened the girl.
yes, sir answered the prisoner, but
7 did not mean It. knew the girl loved
me and | made the remark more 10 in
fuence the mother than any one else.
But" he sighed sadly. II seem TO have
