THE BURDICK INQUEST.
The Coroner's Statement Will Be
 Handed Out Tomorrow.

Handed Out Tomorrow.
 Buffalo, March 3O.-The Burdick in quest was resumed by Judge Murphy at police headquarters today. Only two witnesses, Alexander J. Quinn, bartender, and F. c. H. King, cashier at the Hotel Roland, New York, were examined. They were employed at the hotel last December when Arthur k. Pennell and Mrs Burdick were in New York.
 The court room was almost deserted at 10 o'clock, when the inquest was scheduled to begin, only about a score of spectators were present, the rows of vacant benches being in marked contrast to the crowds of last week.
 We will close the Burdick case to- day." said Judge Murphy, "and owing to the absence Of. some of the witnesses from the city the Pennell case will be held at time to be announced later. Witnesses who have been subpoenaed in the Pennell inquest are excused until further notice. My statement in re gard to the Burdick inquest will he handed out here tomorrow"
 The first witness called in the Bur- dick inquest was Bartender Alexander J. Quinn.
 Do you recall that early In Decem- Der that Arthur Pennell made his acquaintance with you while at the hotel ?'
 1T do.''
 s.Will you state the conversation you had with MT Pennell on that date ?"
 ssMr Pennell first asked for time table which was given him. After wards he entered into conversation with the cashier and myself. Mir Pen nell had several drinks. He gave me his card. During the conversation PennelI said You do not know what is passing through my mind boys, there is one man could kill even if I hung for it. I remarked that his man must be out of the state as we have more i'm proved methods here now. I saw MT Pennell on the following morning when he bade me good bye.'
 ...Is there anything else you recall of the conversation between you, Pennell and the cashfer?"
 Nothing except matters of ordinary conversation"
 MT Quinn was then excused.
 F. H. C.. King, former cashier of the Hotel Roland who was present during the conversation related by quinn, was called He said he and Quinn had a drink iwth Penne1l at the Roland in December.
 King then testified.
 After having a few drinks Mir Pen nell said: There is one man could kill although might swing for 1t. After having another drink I proposed a toast which was responded to by MT Pennell I think he said Here's to death, at the same time he said he was having the greatest time of his life all though it was at the expense of an- other.
 MT King then identified picture of MT Pennell which was handed to him by the district attorney.
 ''That is all,'' said the district attor- ney.
 Judge Murphy then announced the Burdick inquest closed.

HE BELLS WERE STILL.
And the Great Cotton Mills Of
 Lowell Are Silent.
No Demonstration or Lawlessness To- Day-Four of the Seven Corporations Interested Didn't Have a Man at Work To-Day.

Lowell, Mass, March 3O.-For the l first time in many years, on a working day, the bells on the great cotton mills l in this city were silent this morning and the streets, usually marked by the hurry and hustle of thousands of oper- atives on their way to work were still land almost deserted. Although the shutdown of the seven plants affected by the strike order of the Textile coun- 1 for a ten per cent increase in wages, was issued Saturday it's full effect was mot apparent until today, all the op-
 eratives having been in their mills
 when the notices were posted
 Uuiet prevailed in the section occu- pied by the cotton factories this fore noon.
 No demonstrations of any sort oc- cured and the period of inactivity, the duration of which cannot be definitely predicted, began without a notable in cident, save perhaps the fact that a few men and women who had started to finish up some work in the cloth rooms of one or two of the mills were turned back by committees from the labor unions. This was done in way which attracted no attention from out siders and the operatives yielded read fly to the suggestions of the commit tees.
 Of the seven corporations which are shut down, four had practically no help at work to-day. At the Merrimac and at the Hamilton plants the print works were not closed. These depart ments are not directly involved in the contest over wages, but they are affect ed by the suspension in that, when the present stock of material is finished they will be forced into idleness. It is thought that there is enough cloth on hand to last for two weeks.

A Very Large Attendance at the Re-
hearsa!.
In Foy Auditorium Monday evening
the Gounod society held it's regular re-
hearsal The attendance was very
large, some $50 being present. The out
look for the society is very fiatering.
1t has started in with renewed vigor
and determination this year, having al
ready some $4,000 in it's Golfers with
which to insure a successful season.
Professor Agramonte, the director, is
much pleased with the material in
hand. He gave it as his opinion that
the chorus this year was the finest the
society had ever produced. A fine num-
Der of tenor voices have been procured,
a difficulty which has been troublesome
in the past.
The chorus is rehearsing Mendels-
sohn's oratorio of ST. Paul. AS many
have sung it before, the technical diff
culties have not proven very great.
The concert will be given on March 10,
the Boston Festival orchestra having
been engaged for the occasion.

EDWARD ]. HILL

One man was killed and another Sc
verely scalded as result of the blow
ing out of four plugs In the fire box of
freight engine on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad between
Rowayton and Darien early yesterday
morning.
The engine was bound west, pulling
heavy freight from this city, and was
in charge of Engineer James Bannon
and Fireman Edward J. Hill. When
about half way between Rowayton and
Darien an explosion occurred, the force
of which threw Hill from the cab of the
locomotive into the road near the
tracks. Great quantities of steam and
live Goals escaped and Bannon was Sc
verely burned before he could crawl
out of the cab. The force of the explo-
sion was so great that the firebox was
emptied.
After short time the engine came
to q standstill and men were sent back
to look for Hill. He was found dead
in the road from the burns and the
shock of the fall.
An engine was sent out from SIAM
ford to take the place Of the damaged
engine, and the train proceeded.
Hill was forty years old and resided
on One Hundred and Thirty fifth street,
New York. He formerly lived in New
Haven. The accident occurred at 2:40.
The train was bound to the Harlem
River freight yards.
