An Accident.

Mrs. Hannah Long met with quite a
serious accident at the railroad station
here Wednesday OF last week. She had
been to Randolph and came up from
Bethel on the cars. She got of the car
and with two small handbags in her
hand and quite large bundle under one
arm she went through the depot to the
front platform, intending TO get off there,
as she had planned 10 stop over night at
her cousins, Frank Bakers, whose house
is nearby. As there were no steps by
which she could get off there. she went
around to the corner of the depot next
to the track, where there was a good
step. Thinking that the cars had gone
ana thinking she could save travel by
taking the track and going in at the
back door OF the house, she stepped on
the track Just in front OF the engine as
it was moving up from the switch pre-
paratcry to shifting cars. She was struck
by the cowcatcher and pushed up the
tra K some forty feet, the engineer not
Sc .ng her till he had reversed the engiI e.
She was carried into Frank Bakers
and word sent to her brother. A. II.
Baker. with whom she lives, who went
directly 70 the scene, overtakiug Station
Agent Davis on the way, who had been
home and got his express wagon aud with
Joseph Patnode had arranged 10 take her
home. Mr.. Davis had telephoned DR..
Edmunds Of Pittsield, but he was away,
and on the arrival OF her brother, the
extent of her injuries not being known,
DR.. L. NJ. Greene OF Bethel was called.
Both limbs were broken just above the
ankle, the bones being broken squarely
of and not splintered One side OF her
face and the back OF her head were con-
siderably bruised, the dirt being well
ground INTO the scalp. The wonder is
that she was not killed.
No claim is attached to the employees
OF the road, but had there been suitable
steps at the front platform the accident
would not have happened. Mrs. Long
is seventy-one years Of age.

MILL men
WILL CUT
WAGES

Fall River. Mass. July i2--An but two
or three OF the mill treasurers In the cot
ton manufacturers association have sign
ed the agreement for a reduction In
wages. and It Il the general understand
ing that the agreement will go into ef-
feet.
The proposed reduction will average
about l2h per cent. and win become oper-
ative on Monday, July Is. The eecre-
taries OF the labor unions have declined
10 discuss the proposed reduction until
after the formal announcement is made.
More than 5000 operatives employed
by 3s or 81 corporations will be affected.
There are 10 textile corporations In Fall
River, nearly all of which are cloth mills.
Two or three mills manufacture yarn and
as they follow the schedules paid by the
New England Cotton Yarn company they
will not be directly affected by the pro-
posed changes. The largest corporation
In the city, the Fall River Iron Works
company. which is controlled by NJ. c. u.
Borden OF New York and employs &o0
hands IN FIVE large mills, Is not included
in the agreement but may follow the ac-
ton OF the Manufacturers association
although not a member.
The reduction is the second made In
Fall River within a year, the last having
been n cut OF 10 per cent. which
eventually extended TO all the cotton mills
OF southern New England within Massa-
chusetts, Augusta, Me-. rmcook, ". H.,
and other points which follow tho Fall
River schedule OF prices
Wages I'm Fall River. ff reduced on the
18th as now agreed upon. will be on the
basis of those paid in 1895. Since the low
level two advances were made.
An effort was made In the spring to
lower the prices paid for weaving, but Il
failed as the treasurers could not agree.
The mills have been running on short
time for nearly four months and the
earnings OF the operatives have been
greatly depleted. With revision OF
wages. the mill owners hope to keep their
machinery in motion more regularly. al
though the cloth market is still dull.

Judge Dubois today heard and denied
the petition OF william Z Potter OF East
Providence for a preliminary injunction
against the Rhode Island Amusement
Co. 10 restrain the company from inter
fering with his conducting OF a photo
graphic studio at Boyden Heights.
Mr.. Potter claimed that on May 1st he
hired OF the corporation conducting the
popular resort space for which he was TO
pay the sum OF $50 FOR the season. On
June 25th. Mr.. Potter claimed. his photo
graphic studio was moved OF the hired
space and that he has since been pre-
vented from carrying on a profitable busi-
ness.
Mr.. A. A Spitzs view of the matter
was entirely different. Mr.. Potter cid not
appear IN court today. but his bill In
equity was sworn to and was the only
evidence offered In his behalf.
Mr.. Spitz testified that early In May
he was approached by Mr.. Potter who
sought 10 hire a space for the practice
OF photography. When asked as TO the
kind OF car TO be used. Mr.. Potter. ac-
cording TO Mr. Spitz. described a dream
OF beauty, gold banded. finely eolored and
with a sumptuous waiting room.

advantage OF the cash that might be
floating the next day and Mr.. Spitz final
ly consented on Mr.. Potter's promising
that the golden trimmed chariot which
was nearly finished would soon be sub
stituted for the old wagon.
The chariot not appearing, Mr.. Spitz
says. he many times asked where It was
and Mr.. Potter gave many explanations
saying at one time the stripping OF the
wheels was not quite finished Finally
the old. wagon was taken of the grounds
and placed in the fields.
There was a good deal OF amusement
furnished by the case and Judge Dubois
said on the testimony he must give de-
cision against Mr.. Potter. A golden char
lot had been promised and an old wagon
furnished them. for Mr.. Potter had not
kept his contract.
The suit at law brought by Mr.. Potter,
was filed previous TO the hearing on the
equity case. In the SUIT at law Mr.. Potter
claims 5000 damages.
