OF $1,000.
He was then arraigned on a charge OF
stealing from the person OF Louis o. Rob

Several witnesses were sworn and from
the evidence given IL appeared that all
of the men who had been in tn party
except one had been under the influence
OF intoxicants. Several Of them testified
TO seeing the defendant on the day N
question and one. George Little. said
that Kerns had showed him the watch in
question.

After the evidence had ben all in tho

fact that none OF the evidence had
shown that he had struck Robinson and
that with one exception all those who

IL was claimed by the respondents that
Mr.. McIiugh died seized OF one-half the
estate.
The court in It's rescript says: THE
evidence submitted In this case fully sup
ports the allegation contained in the bill.
IL shows that the complainant paid the
full amount of the purchase price OF the
land In question out of her own money:
that no part OF said money ever belonged
TO or came from her husband. and that
she did not intend 10 make any gift OF
any part OF said estate TO her husband
by way OF advancement or otherwise, at
the time when said purchase was made.
but on the contrary full Intended that the
deed thereof should be taken I'm her own
name and that Il should be her sole and

fore NE. Cotton Manufacturers

Lenox, Mass, Sept. 3o.-when President
Herbert e. walmsey OF New Bedford to-
day gave the call to order for the semi
annual meeting OF the New England Cot
! ton Manufacturers association. nearly
200 members we're present.
In his address President walmsley urg-
ed the young men in the association TO
come 10 the front and assume their share
in the work OF the association. He refer
red TO the unsatisfactory condition OF
the cotton trade. at the present time. and
said the past few months had been one
OF the most difficult periods ever expe-
rienced.
THE prevailing quietude In the
trade" he said, has undoubtedly been
intensified by the raw material situation.
ut is deplorable circumstances that
the pernicious practice OF cornering such
a necessary staple as cotton should be
possible, demoralizing and paralyzing for
the time being an industry OF such i'm
mense wealth TO individuals and to the
nation as that OF cotton manufacturing
throwing out OF employment and reducing
10 the verge OF starvation the thousands
or families whose very existence Is de-
pendent upon the continued and steady
operation OF the factories where they find
employment
The beneficial influence OF this specu-
lative manipulation OF cotton is a matter
Tor serious concern. and for which there
can be no justification whatsoever.
The force OF these considerations
should be sufficient to Justify some con-
cerated and united action towards putting
a stop to the gambling operations which
infict such widespread suffering and in
jury upon so many and such important
interests"
In referring 10 the cotton manufacture
ing In the south, President Walmsley
said:
I'VE warmly congratulate the south on
the great development OF Its natural and
Industrial resources. There is surely am
pie room for both north and south The
supremacy OF cotton manufacturing in
New England. in my opinion, will con-
tinue TO be unassailable.''
resolution was adopted requesting the
state department at Washington to give
the association all possible information I'm
regard to the needs OF foreign countries
In the cotton market. This is understood
10 indicate that the New England manu-
facturers will pay more attention than
hitherto to the expectation of cotton
goods
