DURING AUGUST
MILLS WILL BE IDLE
Cotton Manufacturing In the
East Affected.
MAINLY CUE TO HIGH FRIGES.
In Boston It Is Expected More Than
2,000.000 Spindles Will Be Idle —The
Same Conditions Prevail In Fall Riv
er and Lowell, Textile Centers.
Boston, August I.—-In cotton manu
facturing in this city, it is expected
that more than 2,000,000 spindles will
be idle during the month of August,
due mainly to the high prices in the
cotton market and the hesitancy of
purcha ‘.3 of goods to agree to any
marked advance while any raw materi
al purcha. ?d before the rise remains
in the . - i-L<>usi
Attempts have boon made to induce
all cotte.l i l :'’:. : : ur-:r.< to enter a
general cj,rcem.tat to feat down f< r a
stated period or on certain days of
each week, but owing to a large num
ber of uiifl uished c.-ntraets an iron
clad agreement was deemed inexpe
dient at this tin
The condition ■ in the cotton mar
ket have caused wuch inconvenience
in Fall River, the textile center of
North America. j
About one-third of the 30,000 opera
tives there have been idle this week
and of the 4.000,000 spindles, 700,000
will not be working next week.
In Loweh. another leading mill cen
ter, the h'gh price of cotton has not
had any traceable effect on account of
the long shutdown, of six corporations
during the strike of the operatives last
spring.
In Maine the mill at Lewiston, Lis
bon and Brunswick will shut down for
two weeks.
Among the other corporations which
also curtail their production are the
Queen C ity, of Burlington, and the
North Pawnail of Pownall, Vt., the
Monadneck mills of Claremont, and the
Cochem mills of Dover, N. H.; the
Berne Vernon mills of Dorvilfc', N. H.,
and other plants in the latter state
and several of the corporations in the
Quinebag valley, eastern Connecticut.
There is a confident feeling in some
cotton mill offices that after Septem
ber is well advanced a general im
provement in market conditions will
occur.

BIG STREET RAILWAY DEAL. |
Property Worth Millions Passes Into
Control of Trust.
New York, August 1. —More than 200
miles of electric railway, worth mil
lions of d liars, extending through
out Queers a;..l Na;:au count! . Long
Island, has pasted into the control of
a trust ;;.ny in this city. This is
probably or.< of the largest street rail
road deals ever made in Greater New
York.
For some time the Pennsylvania
Railroad company and the interests
represented in the subway rapid tran
sit are said to have desired possession
of these i ail ways. Eleven years ago
the Steinway interests, which then
owned the horse ear system in Look
Island City, began to build a tunnel
under the t river. The work came
to a ilis'i -ous end when a dynamite
explosion '>j several men and did
ssOo,oot> < . • •, Ry means of this
tunnel tee i:..!'oy system of Long Is
land co’ti i made a part of the sub
way sy/c.-m of Manhattan, and has sev
eral ti;.:_ byen reported that itho
electric . . ! i, f Queens had pas.-e.l
into the < ■ of the Belmont inter-
ests.
Whether o ■> te st co:: ary repre
sents the Beimont, or the Pennsylvania
interests, could not be learned.
Among t:m roads said to have pass
ed into the hands of the trust company
is the New York and Queens County
Electric leeway, which was owned by
•a Philadi i] hia syndicate. This road
operates branches extending all
through Queens, to College Point,
Flushing and .Jamaica, and all through
Long Island city. It also controls
the New York and North Shore road,
which extends through Jamaica and
Far Rockaway and connects at Queens
with the Nassau County Electric rail
way, another branch which connects
villages in Nassau county, and expects
to lend connecting lines into Suffolk
county. The lino also skirts the new
$2,000,000 race track now building on
the line between Nassau and Queens
counties, to be ; known as Belmont
Park.
In ad lit’or to lines already in opera
tion. many unused franchises go with
the roads purchased, so the company
acquiring the property can practically
gridiron the bourough of Queens.
SQUADRON’S NARROW ESCAPE.
Came Very Near Destruction in Dense
Fog on Pacific.
New York. August I.—According to
a letter received here from a member
ol the crew of the cruiser New York,
the flagship ami the other vessels of
the Pacific squadron had a narrow, es
cape from destruction on July 15,
before reaching Dutch Harbor, says a
dicpalch to The Herald from San Fran
cisco.
With the New York are the Marble
hc d and the Dennington. The vessels
were steaming along, says the letter,
through a dense fog. According to
the chart and an observation obtain
ed just before the fog shut down,
there was plenty of clear deep water
for miles in every direction, and the
flagship was stopped and the other ves’
seis were ordered to do the same. All
anchored and no move was made until
the fog I'fted. Ahead in every direc
tion could be seen breaking water, and
not a quarter of a mile ahead was an
island, on which, but for the lookout’s
keen eyes, the New York and her gun
boat escort in 10 minutes more would
have been wrecked.
ON GALLOWS THREE DIE.
Friday Was Black Day for Murderers
In Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., August I.—Means
and Stark paid the death penalty for
the murder of Finnie Foster, another
negro, Jastlyear. Means and Stark
were robbing the store of a white man
near Mt. Meigs, when one of the two
vho was standing on guard outside
the store door saw Finnie Foster ap
proaching, and thinking that he was
the proprietor of the store, shot him to
death.
The negroes were convicted in the
criminal court and their appeal to the
supreme ccurt was refused. A peti
tion was prsented to Governor Jelks,
asking for the commutation-of the sen
tence to life imprisonment, but the
chief executive declined to interfere
with the court's sentence.
Hanging in Birmingham.
Birmingham, Ala.. August I.—Sidney
King, a negro, was hanged in the coun
ty jail yard at 10:25 yesterday morn
ing. He Lad nothing to say on the
gallows and died without apparent
fear. Ho killed Occie Baron, a negro
convict, while the two were confined
in Coalburg prison in >uly, 1902.
Emigration to United States.
New York, August I.—Six thou
sand more- aliens entered the United
States through this port last month
than during the same month in last
year. The total for July this year
•was 42,000 compared with 36,000 for
July. 1902, and 35,000 in the same
month in 1901.
