The refusal of one man and two wo- i men to join a trade union, coupled t with the decision of the master cot- t ton spinners to close their mills three < days in the week, caused a complete ( stoppage of a great portion of the the cotton mills in Northeast Lan- c cashire to-night. Efforts are already ] afoot to bring about a settlement, * but as one woman, who left the t union after twenty years because s she believes the benefits are not com- 1 mensurate with the payments, per- 1 sists in her attitude and the master e spinners insist upon their right to t maintain open shops, a long and bit- 1 ter struggle is feared. There is dan- 1 ger, too, of the fight spreading to \ other industries. - ? The lockout involves 160,000 1 weavers, and nearly an equal number of spinners will be reduced to half pay. There are indications already of probable complications through the introduction of a new issue in the troublesome question of wages. This move has been taken by the weavers, who now declare that as a lockout has been decided upon they intend to make an advance of 5 per cent, in wages as a condition of any settlement. It is estimated that the weekly loss to weavers and allied workers, spinners and card room employees, will amount to $1,400,000. The weavers will receive, roughly, $325,000 lockout pay from the union. HELD FOR BABY'S DEATH. Cade Stokes, of Florence, will be Tried for Criminal Carelessness. Florence, Dec. 29.?The story of the little baby of Mr. and Mrs. Crawford Hutchinson, of Effingham, does not seem to have been told in the fullness of its terrible details. At the inquest of the coroner it was brought out that the man who was so* unfortunate as to be the means of the death of the little one ] was criminally careless. ( The story as brought out at the in- , quest was that Cade Stokes, a young , man of that neighborhood, was a < visitor at th^ home of the Hutchinsons, and that to scare and amuse x the children he took the shot out of a number of shells for a shotgun, and was shooting the blank shells at i the children and making them jump. 1 It is well known by all who have < had any instruction in the use of 1 shells that a blank shell is danger- ? ous, and possibly fatal, at a distance < of 20 feet. In this instance, Mr. Stokes, who had no intention in the 1 world of doing even mischief, snap- J ped the gun at one of the little girls, 1 who had-the baby in her arms, while < almost in reach of her. The shot 1 did not injure the girl, but the wad 1 struck the infant and death result- 1 ed. N 1 The coroner's jury ordered that Mr. Stokes be held for criminal'care- 1 lessness, and he will be tried at the i next term of court. \ 1 SLAYS FAMILY, HANGS SELF. i Arkansas Farmer Murders Seven ] i Before Committing Suicide. Benton, Ark., Dec. 27.?Despond- j ent, according to a note found to- i day, James Grant, prosperous farmer . and merchant, clubbed his wife, five ( children and stepson to death, at his ( home near Benton last night, and ] then hanged himself. Grant's body { v,as found suspended to a rafter in a barn and those of the woman and < children about the farm dwelling, their skulls crushed. ] Hugh Grant, a sixteen-year-old < son, made the gruesome discovery when he returned from a holiday celebration on a neighboring farm. The note explains that, "owing to J deep despair and that I see nothing 1 for me or my children, who I believe 1 would be better off in Heaven, I com- 1 mit this act." Instructions were giv- 1 en where money could be found to < cover burial expenses and a request s that Grant's parents not be notified j until after the bodies had been 1 buried. 1 The body of the woman was found in a sitting posture, partly disrobed, i Apparently she was preparing to re- < tire when she was killed. Those of the children, ranging in age from 5 1 to 13 years, were found in their beds. ? A heavy oak club, covered with blood, was found near the bodies of 1 the children. Four Hundred Break Jail. j San Luis Potasi, Mex., Dec. 29.? j Four hundred prisoners in the penitentiary here to-day escaped. Tliey overpowered the guards, seized a few j guns and attacked 16 rurales quar- j tered in nearby barracks, killing the sentinel and wounding a number of the troopers. The escaped prisoners sought refuge in the country, but before night soldiers detailed to run 1 them down had captured the larger I part. Gov. Ceneda says he believed 1 the jail delivery was part of a Rey- i ista movement planned before the 1 surrender of Gen. Reyes. < TO FILE CHARGES WITH LYON. 2ol. Felder Assures People That His Book Will be Published. Spartanburg, Dec. 27.?The Herild to-day says: The Herald has ob;ained from Col. Thomas B. Felder, ;he Atlanta attorney, a statement concerning his forthcoming book on jOv, Cole L. Blease. Col. Felder calls it "a biographical sketch of the private, official and public career of your distinguished [?) governor, showing his connec;ion with the late lamented dispensary of the State of South Carolina 'rom the vear 1900 down to the abo ition of this institution, and together with his activities as a senator to ;hwart and stifle the investigation of lis friends and associates, including limself, as well as a history of his inique and picturesque career as governor of the State of South Caroma. Is About Completed. Col. Felder has been engaged inhe preparation of this sketch at odd Ames. During the last 30 days he las been absent in Chicago, Washngton, D. C., and Jacksonville, Fla. :Ie expects to complete the document lefore January 1. He says it will be filed with the ittorney general of South Carolina, 'together with a 'companion piece' containing evidence in my hands (documentary and parole,) together ivith a list of witnesses by whom he will be able to establish to the satisfaction of the most incredulous evjry fact contained in the biographical sketch." Up to Attorney General. Col. Felder says he hopes to be able to show to the satisfaction of Via orrtvornnr'c r>nnctitiipnt<5 that Mr. Blease has violated many laws. In view of the rumors which have )een current concerning Col. Felder's 300k, The Herald addressed a letter io him, asking him to vouchsafe information in regard to the matter. He replied in a personal letter, remarkable for the ability he displayed is a master of invective. He did not lesitate to use hard adjectives and )dious similes in expressing his opinon of Gov. Blease, whom he said he would expose as a criminal of most shocking character. Issaulted Wife; Murdered Husband. Sallisaw, Okla., Dec. 31.?After murdering George Casey, a white farmer of Muldrow, with an axe, and iriminally assaulting the farmer's vife, last night, a negro-named Turner was lynched to-day by an infuriited mob in the streets of Muldrow. The negro invaded the Casey iome about midnight after he had stolen an engine from the roundlouse of the Iron Mountain railroad it Vanburen, Ark., and driven it to Vluldrow. At that place the engine was derailed by the station agent but :he negro escaped and proceeded to :he Casey home. On the pretense by the negro that le was almost frozen Casey let him nto his home to warm. A few miniates later the negro stepped out of :he side door of the house and returned with an axe with which he almost decapitated Casey, killing him instantly. The negro then assaulted the unprotected wife of the farmer, after tfhich he is said to have fallen into i drunken stupor. Mrs. Casey escaped from the house in her night iress and after running about two miles told citizens of Muldrow of the itrocious acts of Turner. An infuriated mob proceeded luickly to the Casey home. The negro was swung up ?to telephone wires by a rope on the main street of Muldrow. Comparative Emotion. Gratitude, although it may exist in i very earnest form, is by no means :he strongest and most consuming of the human emotions, as this story from the Rock Island Union bears vitness. When Lawrence Barrett's laughter was married Stuart Robson sent a check for $5,000 to the bridegroom. The comedian's daughter, Felicia Robson, who attended the ivedding, conveyed the gift. 'Felicia," said her father upon her return, "did you give him the iheck?" "Yes, father," answered the daughter. "What did he say?" asked Robson. "He didn't say anything," replied Vliss Felicia, "but he shed tears." "How long did he cry?' "Why, father, I didn't time him. r clinnM cnv hnwpvpr that hp WPDt L OIIVUIU WMJ i. v ? v. 7 ?? -- _ fully a minute." "Fully in minute," mused Robson.

Traits of horse character, as well as of human character, otherwise unnoticed are brought out in the stress of war. Familiarity with danger probably has its effect in making horses fearless, as ignorance of danger doubtless does. Horses are creatures of habit, in battle as well as in the occupations of peace, and this fact has been the cause of many an exciting incident on the field of action. Thei*e have been recorded many interesting illustrations of the manner of riderless horses "under fire" and when wounded. War horses when hit in battle tremble in every muscle and groan deeply,* while their eyes show deep astonishment. During the battle of Waterloo some of the horses as they lay upon the ground, having recovered from the first effect of their wounds, fell to eating grass about them, thus surrounding themselves with a circle of bare ground, the limited extent of which showed their weakness. Others were observed quietly grazing on the field between the two hostile lines, their riders having been shot before off their backs and the balls flying over their heads, and the tumult behind, before and around them caused no interruption to their feeding. It was also observed that when a charge of cavalry went past near to any of the stray horses already mentioned the latter would set off, from themselves in the rear of their mounted companions and, though without riders, gallop strenuously along with the rest, not stopping or flinching when the fatal shock with the enemy occurred. The faculty of war horses of knowing on wThich side they belong has more than once made it awkward for an enemy who ventured to capture one and get upon his back. At the battle of Kirk, 4n 1745, Major McDonald, haying unhorsed an English officer, took possession of his mount, which was very beautiful, and immediately jumped upon its back. When the English cavalry fled the horse ran away with its captor, notwithstanding all efforts to restrain it, nor did it stop until it was at the head of the regiment of which apparently its master was commander. The melancholy and at the same time ludicrous figure which McDonald presented may be easily conceived. Besides the sagacity of army horses, which enables them to respond to the various bugle calls and to take their places in the ranks when their riders have been killed, they may also be safd to show true heroism. Veteran soldiers say that horses have a wonderful power of enduring an attack .made directly upon them, keeping their places as long as they can stand. In 1864, at Reams Station, nearly sixty horses belonging to one company became the target of Confederate sharpshooters, who intended to take the guns. The animals were harnessed in foome nf civ Whon nrip V9A hit a peculiar dull thud indicated that a bullet had penetrated his flesh, but after a momentary start he would settle down quietly again, evidently realizing that bullets were an incidental evil which it was his duty to endure. One horse when a bullet entered his neck only shook his head as if annoyed by a fly, but others would perhaps fall, only to regain their feet after lying for awhile. ; At the close of this battle General Hancock's horse received a bullet in the neck and, falling, appeared to be dead. The general mounted another, but in a few minutes the fallen animal rose, shook himself and was again ready for service. He survived the war many years. One' horse among those attached to the artillery was shot in the leg, the bone being broKen. Jtie ien, dui instantly scrambled up again and stood in his place on three legs, remaining there until vitally wounded. Anothe^ animal was struck by seven bullets before he fell for the last time, and but four horses were taken alive from the field.?Harper's Weekly. ? CLEMSON CADET WOUNDED. Charles Jones Seriously Hurt While Hunting Near Gaffney. Gaffney, Dec. 30.?Charles Jones, a Clemson college cadet and son of R. A. Jones, of this city, accidentally shot himself this morning while out j hunting on his brother's farm near this city. The young man drew the gun up to shoot at game, it caught in his clothing and was discharged, the shot taking effect in his forehead. Dr. S. B. Sherard, of this city, was at once summoned and the wound dressed. While serious, the wound is probably not fatal. Blank books and legal blanks at The Herald Book Store.
