Feb. 9.—(Special.)—One of tlio irest sensational features cf the detective Investigation was the charge that they had been paid by Solicitor Lewis W. Thomas of the city court to proseoutie gamblers and utifortuntvto women through that tribunal in order that tho Solicitor might got :bc ibone- flts of the fines imposed. Tho charge mft only tended to ehdw tho corrup tion of the detectives, but Involved. Solicitor Thomas' reputation In a very damaging manner. Since tho conclusion of the Investi gation It Is shown that in .trying to drag down the detectives tlheir accusers Wavo also done a grave Injustice to So licitor Thomas and -tho city court, showing the Utter recklessness of the gamblers and hoboes who have been In file saddle since the qua,,*! of & couple of poGIMosl bosses gave thorn tho opportunity to play for oven with the police department. The only evidence throughout tho In vestigation tending to prove that Solic itor Thomas lhad paid the Wtectlves aa alleged was given by Capt. George B. Forbes, wtro tcSUfl<« tirait in 1892. while he was a deputy clerk, 425 had been paid to Solicitor Thomas to be paid fa Chief of PoCtco Connolly and ;hc Uetcc- trves for nuking cases against five women, -and that after these women haU bben subsequently indicted by the grand Jury Solicitor Hill nolle pressed, the case* because they had been al- raidv fined ln <ttie city court.

Think They Are Doing More Work Than Southern Operatives. Fall River. Mass.. Feb. S.-Secretary Robert Howard. In a circular calling for a meeting of the Mute Spinners Asaocla- lion for next Wednesday night, has given utterance to ills views and those of tha members of tbe executive committee In rotation to the subject of Bounthern con- petltlon. He says on this subject: "It may bo that a motion will be of fered to the effect that the next con vention of the National Mule Spinners Association bo roquested to send two of Its members to the Southern states to lnV-wtigate tho condition of the cotton op eratives there, suah as ascertaining the actual hours of dally labor In the cotton mills, the hanka per spindle, the cuts per loom a week, the prims paid per hank and cut, and tho wages earned weekly, from tho knowledge already possessed ho will bi a genius Indeed who con con vince the factory people here that they ore not producing more hank* per soln- die and more cuts per loom tn fifty-right hours per week than any of the other New England statea are doing In sixty or or any of the other states tn sixty or seventy-two hours per week. "If (here was any danger of the cotton industry leaving this part of the country mill stocks would not be selling so high as they are at present. It Is a fact that outside capitalists have purchased largely of mill stocks here since tha ter mination of the strike last October. This would not be so by any means If there were good rresons to believe that tha cloth manufacturers of this city were polng to more South, or If the business was to be profitless In the future.
