Just before midnight of Thursday two men attempted to force an en- trance into the Dunn homestead at Haversham, but were prevented by the one of the ladies of the house, pr. Sarah N. Dunn, of Boston, who spends her summers at the old homestead. The men were at work on a window and were heard by Dr. Dunn. She in Vestigated and discovered two men in the darkness. There was no man in the house at the time to summon for the emergency, but the doctor secured her revolver and proceeded towards the window which had been opened. The would-be burglars saw her coming and ran away. pr. Dunn fired two shots after them, convincing the pair that they had left the premises none too soon, and that warning had been served that it would be we'll to give the Dunn homestead q wide berth.

25,o00 GARMENT WORKERS VOTE
FOR GENERAL STRIKE
The twenty-five thousand garment
workers of Chicago last week voted
Overwhelmingly in favor of gen
eral strike to teach the bosses
much-needed lesson.
The unions have been trying for
months to come to some arrange
ments with the big employers and
without avail.
Chief among the demands of the
unions was a demand that decent
sanitary conditions be installed in the
shops in which their members were
forced to work.
The sanitary cOnditiOns-or rather
the insanitary conditions maintain
ed in the great majority of the gar
ment manufacturing establishments
of Chicago long has been crying
shame and disgrace that neither laws
nor appeals to decency could change.
The other demands were: The
abolition of the iniquitous piece
work system and a shorter day. Cat
present garment workers toll longer
hours than almost any other similar
class of wOrker.)
Yes, despite the reasonable nature
of these demands, the unions were
met by evasion and trickery and de-
ceptiOn on every hand.
And when they tried to stop that
by calling strikes in the shops of the
worst offenders among the bosses,
the bosses called the police and their
own hired thugs to their aid. limo
cent men were slugged and beaten
and imprisoned and fined just be-
cause they were union men.
The patience of the workers at
last became worn very. thin and last
week the order was given for a gen
eral vote on a general strike.
The result is unmistakable. The

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET IRREGULAR.
A Slow, Labored Movement with a
 Heavy Undertone.

New York, June 26.-London cabled higher range of prices for Ameri- can stocks today and when trading be- gan in the home market, the inter- national issues responded with gen. eral gains amounting to a point or more for Union Pacific, St. Paul, Can adian Pacific and Amalgamated For eign markets were inclined to sag and traders looked with some suspicion upon the rise of Americans in Lon don. which might have beenn based, it was thought. upon operations from this side of the water. London came in with buying orders for perhaps 20,000 shares, but traders here were not will ing to follow the list upwards. They sold stocks instead and opening gains swiftly vanished. Speculative leaders sagged until they were one to two The market thereafter was irregular. with slow, labored movements and a heavy undertone. Reading, Steel Smelling, New York Central, Beet Su- gar and Louisville were depressed a point or more below yesterdays close
 While the tonic effect of the recent rise has not been entirely lest 1t was evident that sentiment was becoming more bearish so far as concerned pro- fesSional operators, whose dealings composed the bulk of business There was n6 sign, however of liauidation such as upset the market a few weeks ago, Bear traders based selling on the outbreak of hestilities between Bulgaria and SeFvia and the heaviness of foreign markets. Lack of news as te the feFm of the Hartman disse1u- tien plan as agreed upon served to re- strict trading.
 The weight of new financing en the market was referred to as another de- pressing influence. New issues of se- curities here this week aggregate ap- prexiHaateiy s35, ,06e e66, including $1i,- 560,666 of short term notes sold today by the state of Tennessee. Although money is still pouring into New York from the interior. bank reserves are bling uD and the money market nom finally is easier than was the. case a few weeks ago, the actual conditions which confront borrowers are shown by the fact that the state of Tennes- see was compelled to sell it's notes at such price that they are offered by the underwriters to yield 1-2 per cent.
 Bonds yielded all around with St. Louis and San Francisco issues show ing especial heaviness. Total sales, par value, $1,735, ,0O0. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
