TOBACCO SMuGGLERs
Give Jeresy City Officers Hot Running
Fight-Three Captured.

Jersey City, N. j., April 1.-While
Revenue Inspector Driscoll was on
watch at the end OF Manhasset pier,
Friday night, Is sailors started down
the plank from the Phoenix Line
steamship st. Nicholas, marching
shoulder to shoulder with a quantity of
tobacco concealed in their pockets.
Driscoll. who suspected their inten-
ton, called upon them to halt. Instead
the Is men all at once set upon the
revenue officer and, throwing him to
the ground, began kicking him..
The noise of the scuffie brought two
other government agents to the scene
and the smugglers at once broke for
the street.
Then ensued a desperate struggle be-
tween the revenue men and the snug
glers. The former, seeing that they
were greatly outnumbered, drew their
revolvers and poured after the escap-
ing smugglers a rain of shots which
awakened the neighborhood and drew
a big crowd to the scene.
On dead run the sailors made for
the end of the pier with the officers in
full pursuit Most of the sailors car
ried knives which they drew menac-
ingly as they neared the crowd which
had gathered to intercept them, and
dashed through. All but three escaped.
The prisoners were taken back to the
end of the pier, where a search re-
vealed Is pounds of tobacco valued at
about $50 in their pockets.

APRIL | STRIKES.
Scores of Them in Various
Parts Of the Country.
The Lowell Hosiery Operatives Ask
Increase or viii Strike.
The Long Fought N. Y, N. n. & H.
Trouble at Last Settled. ~.

Lowell. Mass, April 1.-The knitters
of the Lawrence Hosiery, tonight, vot-
ed to ask Agent Nourse for 10 per
cent. increase in wages and in the
event of refusal to join the great
body of strikers.
This action and the discussion of the
bill introduced in the Legislature by
Representative w. H. I. Hayes of this
city, to investigate the textile situa-
ton were the chief events in labor cir
Giles, tonight, and in fact for the third
day of the shut down.
The knitters, of whom about 100 met
tonight, took the action they did simply
out of sympathy to the other mill oper-
atives. About 100 knitters in the hos
iery have not joined in this, and in
case these latter refuse to go out the
possibility of trouble looms up.
1t looks very much as if the Law
renee Hosiery would close before long,
If the knitters went out other depart
ments could run a week with the goods
on hand.
As regards Representative Hayes
bill. labor men are not willing to de-
fine their position. The general opinion
is that it would be an act of wisdom
to investigate the mill situation, but it
should be gone into thoroughly. 1t is
claimed that some facts could be
brought out which would greatly sur
prise the people.
The print works of the Merrimack
mills will shut down and very soon the
print works in the Hamilton will do
likewise.

BRINGS CASH GALORE
Swindlers Turn Hot Weather to Their Profit.

PARIS, Aug 5.-The fertile invention
OF Paris beggar is responsible for a
new hot-weather trick, for which the
Paris police will be sure to watch
sharply hereafter on account of the in
cident that happened in front of the
Grand Hotel last night.
About O'Clock q pale-faced, ragged
man, walking painfully along the bouIe-
ward, suddenly fell headlong to the
ground, and lay motionless. The usual
crowd collected. bore the fallen man to
a bench. and finally revived him. A we'll
dressed man then appeared at his side,
saying that he was a doctor, and de-
