160,000 WEAVERS LOCKED OUT. r
Labor Trouble in English Mills May <
Start Long Struggle.
Manchester, England, Dec. 27.?
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. \

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.

HORSES IN BATTLE.
They Show Sagacity and Bravery in
Time of Danger.
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.
