SHOE CUTTERS ON STRIKE
Men in Nine Factori esAre Out
 at Lowell. -.

Factories Involved Use the Union La
 bel-The Trouble Is Between the Cut
 ters of the Knights of Labor and the
 Boot and Shoe Workers Union.
 Lynn, Mass, Jan 16.-A labor conflict, which business men fear will prove to be the most severe in the history of Lynn shoemaking, was begun here to- day when in nine factories the cutters went out on strike, ill accordance with instructions given by the shoe cutters assembly, Knights of Labor. The strike follows the presentation by the Knights of Labor cutters of a new price list, which action, it is claimed, violates contract made between the manufacturers whose help has stopped work and the boot and shoe workers union. This contract, 1t is said, by agreement, the Knights of Labor cut ters also accepted. The fact is not con- cealed in view of the situation that the real issue is one of authority between the cutters union of the Knights of Labor and the boot and shoe workers union. All the factories involved are those using the union label under the agreement which the cutters are said to have violated.
 The strike order went into effect to- day about an hour after the usual time Tor opening the factories. The cltters who went out number about 200 men.
 As almost every other department is dependent upon the cutters for their work in the material, upwards of 5000 shoe employees are indirectly involved Tn the strike and unless the places of those who have stopped work are filled promptly a complete shut down of fac tories is threatened
 Under the contract between the boot and shoe workers union and the man. Hacturers the union must fill vacan- cies in their department. As soon as the cutters went out to-day the manu- facturers demanded that the boot and shoe workers union perform their com pact. This, the union claims, it readily can do. As fast as they came out of the factories to-day the strikers went to Knights of Labor assembly hall. Ar engagements were made at once for post Ing p1ckets at the railroad stations to intercept any men who might be borught here.
 The firms affected are: Harney Bros, Arthur B. Gloyd, Watson Shoe Co, Morse & Logan, Walton & Logan %, George E. Nicholson Go, Thomas Corcoran & Sons, D. A. Donogan & Go, and G. ". Herrick & Go. Tn two or three other factories the men agree to remain until the stock already put out for the cutting room had been used up.
 A surprise to both sides was given during the forenoon when 200 women stitchers at the George E. Nicholson factory ofter the cutters had gone out, left their work and marched in a body to the cutters headquarters They are members oflthe boot and shoe workers union. but struck in support of the Knights of Labor cutters. because their unlon demands dues which they con- sidered too high. The stitchers in +he Watson Shoe Go and the Walton and Logan factories to the number of 15O followed the action of those in the Nicholson factory.

Three Girls Unconscious By. Fumes
 Fumes from Goal Stove
 Willimantic, Jan 16-Ihe Misses Ellen Catherine and Margaret Shu- grue of No Prospect street were found unconscious yesterday. Their condition was due to inhalinc gas from coal stove. A. c. Spellman. a local marketman, went to the house at z a. m. and noticing the strong smell of gas and finding all doors locked, noti- fed family across the street.
 Lieutenant Killourey of the police was called from his home nearby. He broke in the door and found the three girls in one bed in little room open- ing out of the sitting room, in which was q small coal stove. The damper and the pipe of the stove were closed tight, and the rooms were full of the escaping gas. A doctor was sent for and tried to resuscitate the girls. At noon only Ellen had regained entire consciousness. Margaret was semi conscious and Katherine was in a critical condition. Ellen and Rather inc worked in the thread mill and Margaret looked after the house
 Ellen said that she got out of bed at what she thought was the usual time, a. m., and fell and crawled back. A physician said that another half hour of exposure would have caused the girls death.

SOLDIERS GETTING RESTLESS.
Former Members of Cuban Army Want
 Their Pay.

AGA1
 New York. Jan 16-Former members of the Cuban army are becoming rest less, Havana dispatch to the Tribune asserts; in fact, they are beginning to threaten the government that if not paid by March they will act A gen. eral of the insurgent army has handed to the correspondent a printed mani festo which is most incendiary in tone It Is addressed to the country and the powers. Among other things 1t says:
 The obligation of the government to pay the army is a sacred one. The ltberating troops have waited patient ly, but everything has limit. The lib erating army will not wait later than March for the completion of the work TOT the payment of tho soldiers. We will not be further put off by the pre- text that revision of the army lists ne- cessitates delay, nor will we accept any other delay. The liberating army is ! disposed to call the attention of Eu- rope. pacifcally, but energeticaIly, to the fact that we do not care to create interior disturbances if no longer time Is asked to pay us than March; but. if the contrary, the army will reunite and occupy every town from Point Maisi to Cape San Antonio. pacifcally.'
 This circular Is regarded as a direct threat to revolt, although officials ex- press doubts of such probability. It is known. however. that several prom 1nent generals are behind the movement. such measures will hardly be neces- fsary, though as the government will pay the army immediatelv on the ne. gotiation of loan of S35. .0oo, GOO which will be made in April

FIRE MARSHAL'S 5 REPORT.
Presented to Governor To-Day
 Nothing About Waterbury.

FSeveral Recommendations Made for
 Changing the Laws-Thirteen Per-
 sons Arrested for Arson the Past
 Year. ...
 Hartford, Jan 16.-John A. Rusling, &he state fire marshal, to-day submitted his annual report to the governor. He says that as the year ending December 81, 1902, was the first full year of the existence of the fire marshaPs office, there is no record to draw comparisons from. Fires of all classes have been investigated and reported by local fire lmarshals to sthe number of l, 1,427, and tninety-two of these have been investi- gated directly by the state marshal, eighty-seven having been found to be either of incendiary, suspicious or mys- ,terious origin. ssIt is most difficult" says the report, ito obtain sufficient evidence to secure conviction in case of arson, but feel warranted in the statement that the investigation has its good effect, although the incendiary is not apprehended. The moral effect s as good and may deter others from in- scendfarism. During the year thirteen persons have been arrested for the
 
 Ho the reform school, and eleven bound over to the superior court. Of the bound over prisoners three were con- lvicted and are serving terms in prison, two were acquitted, one fled the state, lone is to be retried on account of a disagreement of the jury, and one case was nolled. A number are now in jail awaiting trial.''
 The report finds that there has been a marked improvement in reports re- ceived from local marshals within the last few months, and that on the whole they have been fairly satisfactory. Dur ing the year 1858 different buildings have been inspected. Bad conditions were found to exist owing to the ac- cumulation of rubbish, not infrequently endangering much surrounding proper ". Another element of danger no so conon lies in the use of barrels or boxes as receptacles of hot ashes. Where such conditions were found no- ttice was served on the parties at fault to remedy them.
 The experience of the past year.'' says the report. Heads me to conclude that the following change in the law would be advisable: That 1t be amend ed to give local fire marshals. in incor- porated cities, authority which will en- able them to order the removal of com bustible and infiammable material. Seuqal to the power now conferred on the state Are marshal.
 Much credit is due to chiefs and members of the various fire and police departments throughout the state for the valuable assistance they have ren- dered this department"

 Chicago, Jan 16.-The trial of Fred F. Vanderburg, mayor; William D.

 Vanderburg was given two years in the Chester penitentiary and a fine of $500: Strycklin received one year and was fined $250, and the punishment of West was left with the court.
 The indictment charged that StryclSlin had carried number of straw men on his payroll for several months, with the knowledge and will of .Vanderburg and West. Orders would be drawn on the treasury for pay for these men and Strycklin would then. according to previous agreement, divide up the money equal w with his co-partners in crime.
