FORT WAYNE, Ind, March 2.-The peo-
pie of New Haven, six miles east were de-
pressed beyond measure this morning tc
learn that Joseph Krock, sexton of St
Johns Catholic Church, had committed sui.
eide by hanging himself in the organ loft
He was sixty years of age and a great suf-
ferer from bodily sickness. which, il is De-
lieved, unsettled his mind and made him
oblivious to the desecration of his act
Under the rules of the Catholic Church the
building will have to be dedicated again.
as the commission of any crime defiles il
and compels a reconsecration to it's work
1t is believed here that this is the first case
of this kind in Indiana.
Krock left his home about half past
this morning to start the fires for the serv-
ices of the day. The failure Of the church
bells to summon the faithful 10 mass led to
investigation, and the body was found
swinging to the rope attached TO the bell
used in tolling for the dead, by a boy
named Albert Blasing. krocks knees were
drawn up so as TO force his weight on the
rope, there being only a six-foot swing as
the suicide had arranged ii.
Coroner Barnett was summoned and took
charge of the body.

ers' strike-Other Labor News.

LOWELL, Mass, March 29.-With a long
mill holiday ahead, to-day was busy one
for union labor in this city. Interest
centered in the Textile Council. which for
hours was in session at labor headquarters
working out plans for controlling the army
of textile operatives enlisted under its ban
ner for a 10 per cent increase of wages.
Labor men declare that the shut down
has done more TO strengthen the union
cause than any other incident. Yesterday
and to-day hundreds of new members were
admitted to the unions. urged on probably
by the prospect of strike benefits. In this
connection President Conroy and members
of the Textile Council who are at the head
OF local unions, say that all operatives
who have joined in the issue would be
cared for.
While the shutdown went into effect
yesterday noon there will be many people
at work tomorrow, there being chiefly the
finishing room hands. the machinists, sec
ton hands and overseers. for the mill
agents intend to put the property in their
charge in good condition for long period
of idleness. to make necessary repairs and
to prepare finished product for shipments.
After the Textile Council meeting Presi-
dent Conroy stated that plans were per-
fected for 'long SIEGE indicating that
he believed the shutdown would not be one
OF few weeks. He also said that he had
been asked to furnish thirty or forty
weavers for mill outside the State and
he would send married weavers there. The
use of labor halls has been given without
cost to the Textile Council and these places
will be fitted up as reading rooms. Four
teen meetings are called for tomorrow and
speakers from out of town are expected
at several OF them.
To-day there was considerable talk
among operatives that on Friday an offer
of 7 per cent. increase was offered as
compromise, but one of the mill agents,
when asked In regard to this, said it was
not so. and further added that there was
possibility of the increase.

Ii Therefore Weak.
LONDON, March 29.-The stock market
last week suffered from a severe nervous
attack. Responding to the reduction Of
interest which begins this week, the scare
ity of money. realizations by holders on
borrowed money and the fact that the
Transvaal loan is a better investment, con-
soils started down hill and everything else
followed their lead. Ratified by this slump
in Great Britain's premier security. the
stock markets have been doing little else
The situation at the end of the week held
out little prospect of an Improvement in
consols in any other department until
after the settlement at the close of the
fiscal year. this week, when 1t Is hoped
the bank rate will be reduced and money
will circulate more freely. Americans were
uneasy throughout the week and fell In
sympathy with Wall street yesterday, but
the tendency at the close was better than
figures indicate.
BERLIN, March 29.-The stock market
last week again followed the situation on
Wall street with the keenest interest.
Among all the factors influencing the
Boerse none was so strong as the weakness
of the New York market. to which must
be chiefly ascribed the fact that most quo
tations here shaded off. Among other fac
tors tending in the same direction was the
drop in English consols and Spanish fours.
Nevertheless the undertone of the market
remained strong, and yesterday the market
showed greater independence of New York
and London.

GERMANS ARE RESENTfUL
PENNSYLVANIA SOCIETY DENOUNCES
DEWEY BY RESOLUTION.
They Say His Criticism of the German
diplOmatic-Dewey Unreliable.

PITTSBURG, March 29.-Delegates of
the Western branch of the German-Amer-
lean Alliance of Pennsylvania to-day
passed the following resolution. which was
called forth by remarks attributed to Ad-
miral Dewey concerning the German navy:
Resolutions: The recent disparaging and
uncalled-for remarks of Admiral Dewey
about the German navy were, IL the press
has quoted him correctly, unworthy of a
naval officer of his rank. Coupled. as his
undiplomatic statement was. with eulogy
of Great Britain's friendship for America,
il would. seem that the admirals discour-
tesy to Germany was prompted rather by
social prejudices than by true patriotism.
"A composite people like our own Is bound
by congenial and cultured ties to Germany
no less than to England. To needlessly
offend a people to whom we are closely re-
lated and to whom we owe so much, must
arouse the disapproval of every fair-minded
American. AS true Americans, we should
endeavor to understand and appreciate the
various factors that have contributed to
our civilization. 1t Is q menace TO our land
to have our national issues dependent on
men whose visions are clouded by racial
prejudice. In military and naval affairs
the judgment of ~'Ich man connot be re-
lied upon, because he is ipso facto unable
to ascertain our own weakness and the real
strength of foreign nation"

LONDON, March 29-The dispatch Of the
remains of Major General Macdonald. who
committed suicide in Paris, to Scotland to-
night by train was the occasion for a re-
markable demonstration owing to the fact
that his widow has decided that the burial
shall take place at O'Clock in the morn
ing. Immediately after the arrival Of the
body at Edinburg. Hundreds of Scotch
men, representing the Highland societies,
and several Scotch members of Parlia-
ment, gathered on the platform at the
King Cross Railway station here. Most
of the Scotchmen wore their national cos
tunes, wreaths were placed on the coffin
in the name of the different clans and the
pipers played national dirges as the body
was entrained.
All attempts to persuade the widow to
delay the interment and permit Highland
ers to arrange for a national funeral in
the Highlands having failed, large num-
ber of influential Scotchmen adjourned to
the hotel in the railway station and held
a meeting of protest. The Scotch members
of Parliament. Allan and Galloway Weir,
and others made speeches. and a resolution
was adopted urging the lord provost OF

funeral postponed

BLOWING MACHINE TEST
DEVICES WORK PERFECTLY IN
ALEXANDRIA GLASS FACTORY.
Machines Will Displace Nearly 5000
Glass Workers, 1t Is Estimated
Method in Use..
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ALEXANDRIA, March 3O.-The American
Window Glass Company admitted newspa-
per representatives to its Alexandria plant
yesterday for the first time since the blow
ing machines were installed over a year
ago. The operations of the machines were
perfect in every particular. and there is
now no reason to doubt that the day of the
human blower has passed for all time. BY
the perfection of the mechanical blower
nearly 5000 glass blowers, gatherers and
snappers will be thrown out of employment.
Through the courtesy of Superintendent
Boland of the Alexandria plant, the as
sembled press representatives watched the
process of manufacturing cylinders of glass
twenty-five feet long and thirty inches in
diameter. The time consumed in the COM
minutes. The mechanical blower is simply
a clay pot thirty inches in diameter and
six inches in depth. Underneath the pot
are clay nozzles which admit the gas used
in firing. Grooved uprights placed on
each side Of the pot. and between these is
fixed the blowpipe. which is really the fin
ishing blow to the human blower. The ma
chine is automatic, being perfectly con-
trolled by one man. The tank is perfectly
square and contains dipping ring for each
machine. A swinging ladle from an ad-
Unstable crane is used to transfer the glass
from the tank to the blower. BY the auto
matte lowering of the blowpipe and cur
rent of compressed air the mold is filed
with molten glass and a perfect cylinder Of
glass is formed.
The services of the snapper are dis
pensed with by the action of a wire at
tached to an electric dynamo. The severing
Of the glass through this agency is as neat
ly done as by the old-time method. The
product of the machines which were seen
yesterday was entirely free from flaws.
There is an entire absence of bubbles or
waves" and the practicabilty of the in
vention is beyond dispute. Notwithstanding
assertions to the contrary, the American
Window-glass Company Is now preparing
to install blowing machines at Hartford
City Gas City, Orestes and Anderson. The
presence of these machines. IL is estimated,
will dispace nearly 5000 glass workers and
will effect a great saving for the trust.
Another result will be early reduction in
the price of glass. The members of the l..
A. 300 have hitherto refused TO acknowledge
that there was any danger to be feared
from the machine blower. but yesterdays
test seems to indicate that the trust has
found perfect substitute for human lungs.

CONsIsTORY IN APRIL.

Bishops Probably VIII BE Named.

ROME, March 29.-The Pope has ex-
pressed his intention of holding a con-
sistory at the end Of April or the beginning
of May, a consistory being especially nec-
essary for the appointment of bishops.
Nothing has yet been decided as to the
nomination of new cardinals. and there
may be none. Even If some cardinals are
created, there is nothing definite in regard
to foreigners. The only names mentioned
are Monsignors Nocella and Pericoli. the
domestic prelates of the Pontiff, Monsignor
Taliani, the papal nuncio at Vienna, and
Monsignor Adjuty, the papal nuncio at Lis
bon
The cardinals, of the congregation of the
propaganda have been informed that a
meeting will be held on April s. at which
the appointments of coadjutor bishops of
ST. Louis and Cincinnati will be discussed
and confirmed. Bishop Hogan. Of Kansas
City, is almost sure to be appointed coad-
tutor archbishop of st. Louis. on which
post Cardinal Satolli will report. Regard
ing the Cincinnati appointment. on which
Cardinal Martineli will make a report,
there is some competition between Bishop
Moeller. of Columbus. o.. and Bishop Macs
of Covington. Ky. 1t is believed the for
mer has the better chance. especially as
his appointment is preferred by Archbishop
Elder.
