NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF.
Strike Of Lynn shoemakers Not YET
Settled.

Lynn Mass, Jan. 7.--Negotiations
which have been ia progress looking
toward a settlement Of the strike of
about 450 men at the shoe factory OF
Thomas A. Kelly & Co., were broken
off yesterday, and Richard p. Barry
of the state board Of Cancellation and
arbitration, which has been trying to
bring about termination Of the diff
culties, returned to Boston.
Mfr. Kelly offered to raise the pay OF
the glaciers to $12 week, to take
back $50 Of the men at once and 9th
ers as fast as he could. If the men
were not satisfied with his rate of
wages, he offered to submit it to ar
bitration. He would not, however, ad-
NIT any other differences to arbitra-
tion, claiming that as the other oper-
atives had merely struck with the qla-
ziers it was only the grievances Of the
latter which should be considered at
present.
The men refused these offers, de-
manded arbitration Of all differences,
and the immediate taking back Of all
strikers. Mr. Kelly in turn refused
these propositions, and this ended the
negotiations.
Mr.. Kelly stated that he had now
about 200 men at work and would con-
tinue to bring in strike-b breakers a.
fast az possible.

FIVE MEN ARRESTED in
MONTPELIER LAST NIGHT
Four of Them Went to County Jail
on Sentences and Fifth was
Remanded for Further
Disclosure.

| The Montpelier city court contributed
several candidates for the hospitality OF
Sheriff Tracy to-day, there being five
arrests for intoxication, from which four
were sent to the county jail while the
fifth was remanded for further disclos-
ure. This last individual was Frank
Burke, who had pleaded guilty to third
oifense. Burke had been gathered in on
second visit by Sheriff Tracy to the
railroad track section between Mont
pelier and Middlesex.
On Sheriff Tracys first visit he round
ed up three men, Mike Doyle. Patrick
Sankey and Thomas Murphy. All three
admitted third offense when arraigned
in court this morning and they were
given thirty days and a fine and costs
of S22.40. 1t is likely that their stay
in Jail will be prolonged beyond tha
thirty days.
Peter AfcNany was the ffth man to
be arraigned before Judge Harvey. He
pleaded guilty to intoxcation and was
sent to the county jail for thirty days.
He was arrested last night by the Mont
pelier police.
Ihe total number OF commitments to
the county Jail for the year ending De-
cenlber 81 was 1872, and it il expected
that the number will be larger the COM
ing year as q change IN the law sends
prisoners with sentence up to a year
to the county Jail instead OF TO the
house OF correction.

MINISTER MURDERED
IN HIS OWN CHURCH
Rev. John H. Carmichael Killed at
Columbus, Mich, and His Body
Was Partially Consumed in
Two Stoves.

Detroit, Mich, Jan. THE dismem
bered body of Rev. John H. Carmi
clael, Methodist minister, was. found
yesterday partially consumed by fire ii
the two heating stoves Of one Of his
three churches near Columbus, in the
southwestern part of st. Clair county
Clues Of the murderer and his mo.
tive were difficult to obtain. There il
a ru1nor that strange man left o
train at Hickey late Tuesday and was
directed to the Columbus church and
there are other rumors indicating that
two men were implicated in the crime
The fact that several coins were found
in the clothing of the dead man and in
the asnes In the stoves preclude the
theory Of robbery.
Leaving home Tuesday morning he
told Mrs. Carmichael that he was go
ing to Columbus to arrange for series
of revival meetings there He waved
his hand to a group of children as he
drove out of the village of Adair and
from that moment all traces of him is
lost.
Myron Brown, who lives near the
scene of the tragedy, was the first to
discover the crime yesterday. While
waiting at the cross roads to keep an
appointment the cold wind drove him
to seek shelter in the church. He was
surprised to find the church doors un-
locked and was terrified to see the
church floor, the pews and even the
communion table daubed with blood
and fragments of bloody clothing scat
tered all around. Evidently the clergy
man, who was Sc years old and of
athletic build, had made a terrific
struggle for his life.
The authorities on their arrival at
the church found parts of the dismem-
bered body in the two stoves respec-
lively at the front and rear, and dis
covered in one stove the head of what
was apparently a new hatehet, the
handle of which had been burned off. A
dirk was also found in the church and
it is believed that the dirk served for
the murder while the hatchet was used
to cut the body in pieces.
The minister's horse was found to-
day hitched to tree in the village of
Pine river, his overcoat being discov-
cred in the buggy. Pine river is small
village near Thornton on the main line
Of the Grand Trunk railroad and fully
90 miles from the scene of the murder.

the farmers and show them how TO
produce clean milk and cream and to
care for 1t.
Il believe that the establishment Of

three in the state and ! suggest that

valuation of food stuffs and the de-
velopment Of a course in the work of
test assistants.

ture by frequent references to produc-
tion ia an important factor in the re-

AWholesale LiquOrRaid Made
in Barre
FROM CAR ON C. v. TRACK
States Attorney Gates Issued Warrant
and Officers Collected Beer Yester-
day Afternoon--The Results to
Be Determined.

Two large sledges creaked up to the
rear of the city hall late yesterday and
deposited their load of sixty-three bar
rels Of liquor in the basement to await
final disposal. 1t was the sum total
of the largest raid made in Barre nnce
the days when prohibition was the law
of Vermont. The stuff came from car
which was sidetracked on the Central
Vermont line in the north end of tho
city, near Berlin street,
The warrant for the raid was issued
by States Attorney Gates and was put
in the hands Of Deputy Sheriff II. j.
Slayton; he was assisted by Sheriff
Frank Tracy, Deputies Morris and Camp,
Chief Faulkner and Constable Plaisted
of East Barre. When the raiders got
to the car they found that apparently
some Of its contents had been removed.
one indication being that the seal ON
the car was broken. They found enough
left, however, to make showing and
proceeded to load sixty-three barrels on
the slenges.
The liquor is bottle beer, named after
that famed seat OF learning in Cam
bridge, Mass, the president of which
has recently come out in favor Of mo-
license Most Of the barrels were con-
signed to various names in Barre, gen.
orally barrel to name and sometimes
more than one barrel. A few barrels
are said to have no labels, which may
or may not have been the result Of
being showed about.
This Wholesale raid, following another
similar seizure few years ago, when
the liquor was given up to various claim
ants on the ground that it could not
be held under the law, reused consider
able speculation as to the grounds which
States Attorney Gates acted.
