cotton mills at Manchester. Eng, was
settled Friday night at joint meeting of
the employers and operatives when the
employers withdrew their demand for a
5 per cent reduction in wages and both
sides agreed there should be no change
in wages for the next five years.
Three Negroes were shot to death at
10 P. NJ. Friday in church at Tampa
Fla. Shots We're fired through the

A COMPLICATED CASE
In Which a Horse, Veterinary and
Cruelty Agent Are Involved.

Kennebunk. Me-. July ia wornout
horse, veterinary, an agent for the
prevention of cruelty and town con-
stable have twisted up a case that will
occupy the local court all day Saturday,
it is predicted by counsel retained. Last
week George w. Dunstan was convicted
on charges of underfeeding a horse.
which was stiff and sore and unfit for
service. and the court issued a warrant
for the killing of the animal
Joseph Fl. Cote of Biddeford, agent fof
the prevention of cruelty to animals. was
ordered to kill the horse He came here
and engaged Edgar D. Bragdon, consta-
BILE. to do the work. They found DIR. w.
r. Jackson, a veterinary. of Sanford,
at the stable working on the horse.
He said there was no sense in killing
the animal. as all he needed was a little
rest. Another party offered $35 for him,
saying he would turn him out to pasture
until he was fit for use.
High words ensued and Cote ordered
Bragdon to arrest the doctor, which was
done, and he was locked up for alleged
interference with an officer. The horse
was killed.
Now comes the trial of the doctor. He
has entered a civil suit against Cote and
Bragdon for false Imprisonment, and if
found guilty of interference will appeal.
and if not guilty will press the civil ca Sc
at once. The State society for proven
ton will assist Agent Cote. There is
much interest in the case, as all parties
are well known in the three towns in

BREACH STILL OPEN.
No Agreement Between Pennsy r. r.
and Its Employees.

Philadelphia. July 15.-Nothing de-
veloped in the wage controversy be-
tween the conductors and trainmen of
the Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg and the officials of the company
today that would indicate that the
breach between the two parties is
closing. The general committee of the
railroad men did not meet the. officials
of the company and nothing has passed
between them since negotiations were
broken off late yesterday afternoon. A.
B. Garretson, president of the Order of
Railroad Conductors, would not say
tonight that a strike would be called
tomorrow. contenting himself with the
statement that he did not know when a
strike order would be issued.
President Garretson and President Lee
of the Brotherhood of Trainmen heard
with interest the stand taken today by
the directors of the Pennsylvania Rail
road. who passed a resolution approving
the course of the officers of the corpora
ton. The labor leaders declared that the
5000 men in the employ of the company
had also approved what their committee
had done for them. President James Nc
Crea came out tonight in signed state
ment giving the company's side of the
controversy. In it he said the demands
of the men were unfair and penalty for
former liberal treatment of it's employees.
President Garretson also gave out a
statement tonight in which he said that
all the men insist upon is that the code
of rules that obtains upon every other
railroad in the country shall be applied
upon the Pennsylvania without a reduc-
ton in the present rate of wages.

The Karena was proceeding eau

Without any warning heard by those
on the British steamer the Regulus

As the. Regulus backed off after the
