41. BOSTON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1886 EIGHT TAGES. PRICE TWO CENTS. NOT COOLEY'S BODY. THE GLOBE COMPROMISE ilton is well known in New York and Boston.

The ceremony was witnessed ty a large assembly of distinguished persons. SALEM. of the family were present, among the latter being lions. Thomas Motley and l'ef-r Butler. The burin 1 service was read by Rev.

Henry W. Foote, and the body was In a clotii-covered casket, the only flowers beinsr a couple of bunches of roses on the lid. Tho remains were taken to the Old Colony depot, ana thence in the 11.30 o'clock train, accompanied by immediate relatives, to Marshiield, where they were deposited In the Webster tomb. el i KAl 5 0' 010 GEL would be a good idea to secure the services of Charles P. Miller, as ho the most pliant man in New York, who was always ready for anything, and who had a hand in every pie.

Thompson and Flynn and I went to a room in the Brunswick, and after Flynn had left Thompson said he had a little writing that he wanted me to do. I told him that I did not approve of any little writings. 'Oh. it will helD the thin along." said Thompson, and then he said he would dictate a letter. When about writing the date Thompson said, "Make it the 2Gth," as the 2Cth was a legal holiday.

I asked Thompson if I was writing a promissory note, ana wrote December 27. This was dating it a day ahead by mistake, and I changed the date to December 20. When I had done that, Thompson suggested that instead of putting his name to the letter to address it to Maurice B. Flynn. I said to Thompson in astonishment: 'You don't want to put my name at the bottom of a letter that you are ashamed to have yours at the "Thompson said: 'Oh, there's nothing of a criminal nature about it, or I wouldn't ask you to do it "I then said to Thompson, 'Will go on and dictate, and let me see just what it is you "Thompson dictated thelletter, and when I had written it I said this is playing with fire.

It is a double-edgod "I handed it to him, telling him to read it in his calm moments, and that he would come to tbe conclusion that it was not a fit paper to go abroad. A dav or two afterward I went to Judge Gildersleeve and told him what I did, and he, having my interests at heart, said I did a verv foolish thing in writing such a letter, highly disproving of it, and recommending its immediate destruction." Squire, continuing his story, said that, after getting Judge Gildersleeve's advice, he went immediately to Thompson and demanded the return of the incriminating letter. Thompson sent him to Flynn. and Flynn expressed surprise, saying he didn't know anything about Buch a letter. Flynn went out to rind Thompson, and when he returned he said "That'.

All Right, Squire. Thompson hasn't got that letter. It's uptown." Squire said that wouldn't do. "I will not cross the threshold of the Mayor's office." said he, according to his testimony, "unless I get that letter." Flynn went out again, and came back with a man named Brown and with the letter. "Here's your letter.

Squire," he said, and Squire took it, saying: "Well, that's business. I never did such a foolish thing in my life as write that letter." According to his testimony, he put his hand in his pocket, pulled out his match box and set the letter on lire and threw it burning into a spittoon. "You were sure," said Lawyer Strahan, "that you bad burned the identical letter that you wrote at Thompson's dictation?" "Yes, sir; after I destroyed it I went at once to keep my engagement with Mayor Edson. I explained the whole thing to him. and told him that 1 was now free from pledges to anybody." Squire, continuing, said that some time after his appointment Thompson came to him and said that Mayor Grace was sore because Edson had taken the appointment of public works commissoner out of his hands, and that Orace Had Promised Thompson that if Squire would resign he (Grace) would appoint Thompson to the place.

Squire swears that he told Thompson that he would resign if he was sure it would help Thompson into 'the place. Shortly afterward, Thompson's friend. Lawyer Newcombe, came to Squire find told him they were fixing a deal to get Grace to appoint Thompson If Squire would resign. Sauire then wrote his resignation and gave it to Newcombe, but with the distinct understanding, he savs, that it was not to be used unless Grace would agree to perform his part of the deal, which was to appoint Thompson. Two detective sergeants waited outside the Mayor's office lor Squire to finish his testimony.

It was an en secret that the officers carried in their pockets, the warrants for the arrest of both Squire and Flynn. 2.55 o'ctock Mr. Squire was arrested at 2.40 o'clock. factory will receive less tnan 10 a 0n this Pint the opinion which a pronounced business man gave to The Globe early in the lock-out is indorsed.

STRIKIITG SWITCHMEN. Paid a Fall Month's Wages by Their 1'nlon According to Agreement. ChicXqo, 111., August 10. Sixty-three of the sixty-si switchmen who inaugurated the strike on the Lake Shore Michigan Southern railroad last June, it is authoritatively stated today, were paid a full month's wages last Saturday. Those who had engaged in the strike of April received 70, and the others Sn5.

The payment of this money is the fulfilment of the promise made to the men by the Switchmen's Union of the United States to pay the men wages if they would not call out the switchmen of the other Chicago roads. The men are contented, and are still hopeful of winning, and by that they mean a return to work in a body. Their headquarters are within a stone's-throw of the Forty-third-street railroad station. A meeting is held there every afternoon for the purpose of keeping up the organization, and keeping track of the men. Each man is supposed to report at headquarters once a day.

Only two of the strikers have applied for work on other roads, and they were refused employment. City policemen still accompany freight trains out of the yard, but no-trouble is experienced. The crossings are guarded by Pinkerton men, armed with repeating rifles, and no unknown person is allowed to walk along the tracks. The road is thus guarded for thirty miles out of the city. No switching is done at night, and the strikers point to this fact proof of their declaration that the road is not handling nearly all of the freight that comes to it One of the strikers is reported today as saying: "Before the strike two-thirds of the work done in switching was done at night.

This was necessary to finish each day's work. Then there were, all told, twenty-two switch engines. Now, llelieve, they have twenty-six switch engines, but they can't do all the work we did without working all night. I know that much of tbe freight consigned to the road is diverted to other roads. The Lake Shore handles all the perishablefreight, of course, but coal, coke, pig-iron, is sent over other roads.

W. L. Scott coal merchants at Thirty -second street, have coal somewhere on the Lake Shore road between here and Buffalo, that was shipped throe weeks ago. The road's side tracks from here- to BulTalo are blocked wilh freight- It is evident the road can't handle all the freight consigned to it, for on the Chicago, Milwaukee St Paul tracks are over i00 cars of freight consigned to the Lake Shore road. ft UMGHTS IX A (1 UAA'llAKT.

Enable to Fill Their Contract to Snpply Clirarmitkei'i Enough in Sew "York Police Have to Protect a Delegation of Women. New York. August 10. The cigarmak-ers' fight is waging more fiercely than ever. Yesterday, at the meeting of the CigarMan-ufacturers Association, matters became so muddled in tho endeavor to agree upon some concerted plan of action that it adjourned with nothing but "hopes." The Knights of Labor, who promised to fill the manufacturers' shops with cigarmakers if the employes would refuse to employ unionists with whom the knights are at war, confessed their almost utter inability to carry out their part of the contract, and suggested that they take those knights who are working with unionists in shops in which there are no strikes aud put them into the shops which have agreed to employ no unionists.

But the plan met with disfavor, as there were not enough knights to go round and fill all the Knights of Labor shops. Then it was suggested that the manufacturers dissolve their association and make a break for themselves, but that plan didn't work.and an adjournment took place with tne matter muddled more than ever. Some 200 men struck at Holzman Deutchman's factory today on account of a reduction in prices. They were all Knights of Labor. A small riot occurred in front of Jacoby's factory today, the wives, sisters and mothers of the unionists working there attacking a delegation of knights who were assembled in front of tbe building, and using them so badly that a force of police was summoned, Resuming Work at Sandwich.

Sandwich, August 18. After a temporary shut down of six weeks fires were lighted in the furnaces of the Boston Sandwich Glass works last night, and work will be resumed as soon as the furnaces are sufficiently heated to work the glass. PULLMANS FOR THE OLD COLONY. Sensational Rumors as to the Shoe-Box Victim. Was Ce a Man Who Held Secrets Affecting Prominent People A Blood-Stained Man Seen by a Startled Young Woman.

New Havkn, August 10. At present the Wallingford mystery is as far from being solved, as ever, and to an outsider it would seem as if the dark secret of the shoe box would be added to the already long list of Connecticut's inexplicable traced ios. The authorities are extremely reticent, and are either puzzled or else are in possession of clews that are jealously guarded. At first every one who knew Cooloy was sure that it was his body, but as he is now proved to be in the flesh, and that he is now in Saybrook, where he has been engaged by a caterer to carve meats during the week when the Connecticut militia regiments are to be encamped at Nian tic, this theory must De given up.and all the wiseacres are again at sea hunting up more theories. Another clew, or what seems like one, seems to come from Middletown.

One Frederick C. Gardiner of that city has been missing since August 4. His age is given as 27 years, and, as a coincidence, if nothing more, it is interesting to note that a careful post-mortem examination gives the age of the murdered victim as probably from 25 to 30. It is thought by well-informed parties that it was as likely to be Gardiner's as anyone. Then there is another theory that seems as if it were worthy of consideration.

It will be remembered tiiat some time ago there was much excitement in Wallingford over several cases of presumed incendiarism. One Charles Hall. a young fellow of cloudy reputation, was arrested by Officer Austin. It was supposed that he was a tool of Frank H. Morse, who was charged with having fired two buildings belonging to the Simpson Hall Miller Company, in which he had rented rooms for the purpose of carrying on a manufacturing business.

It was alleged by- the officials that there was good grounds to believe that the buildings were set on tire to obtain the insurance. While tbe officer was taking Hall to the lockup he got away and has not since been seen. Hall was about 25 years of age, and it was alleged that he was in possession of facts which would make a terrible sensation among Some Pretty Prominent People. Morse's friends were wealthy, and were able to give hail in most any reasonable amount. It is surmised by some that Hall, having these facts in his possession, was kept hidden, and that some of tbe Wallingford citizens who did not like the idea of spending tbe rest of their natural lives in State prison at Wetherstield had sought him out in his hiding place and acting upon the practical maxim that "dead men tell no tales," murdered him, and that it is his body that is in the shoe box.

This may do as a theory for the present, but it is likely to be exploded within twenty-four hours. Some say that Hall, after his escape, was secreted in Shield's house of ill-fame. (Another sensational bit of news is that which is told by F. F. Young, the son of Charles II.

Young, the butcher, by whom Cooley was employed at Yalesville. lie says that a few days ago there came to the house of Walter Case, in Yalesville, to whom a daughter of Mr. Case, an intelligent young lady, opened the door in response to a hurried knock, a ragged man with his clothes covered with mud and blood. There was also blood on his hands and shoes. He inquired of Miss Case where "Daly's pond" was situated.

She told him there was no such pond the vicinity, but that the Quinmpiao river was not far distant, back of the house and across the fields. The man hastened in that direction, and as he went away tho younj; lady discovered that he had a good-sized bundle under his arm. In about an hour she saw the man roiniiiir back, but without his bundle. He had on a different suit of clothes, and his hands and face were clean. A day or two afterwards some fishermen discovered a largo bundle of bloody clothes, and told of their find to some of the neighbors.

The A' ou nt Lady Then Told Them of the circumstances, and this fact creates many startling theories, and such a man is anxiously looked for. Among the party of fishermen who found tho bloody clothing in the Quinnipiac river was Henry Case, a brother of the young lady above mentioned, who was so frightened by the man with bloody clothing. He paid that the clothing that was found consisted of a cheap pair of dark pants such as are sold for from $2 to 3, and a brownish aud well worn sack coat. The clothes did not appear to them to be worth carrying away, and they threw them up on some alder bushes, where for aught he may know they may still be hanging. The man who stopped at the house was young and of good address, and tlianked Miss Case very politely for her information.

About a mile from where the body was found John Shields, who recently was arrested for keeping a disorderly house, and where it was believed Charles Hall was hidden, is now engaged inbuilding a new frame house. It is said that about a week ago the workmen employed on the house used a quantity of tarred paDer resembling that with which the box was lined. How the box could have been handled by one man is puzzling tho authorities very much. A careful search shows were the twigs have been broken as it was dragged along. There must have been some offensive liquid in the box, as along the path from the unused road to where the box was found, small green carrion flies line the path exactly as they gather around any decomposing substance.

The box had no handles and it could not have been dragged by a rope, as that would have shown all along the path. Now, after the horse is stolen, everybody is quarrelling because the stable door was not locked. The Theory Is Propounded that as soon as the box was found the discoverers should have kept quiet, and informed an officer or two, and then have kept a careful watch of the box, as it was evident that the murderers intended to return and bury the box, or to conceal it completely. They could then have pounced upon the parties who carne afterward to bury it, and the chances are a million to one that they would have got the right parties. in making tho post-mortem examination of the stomach.

Dr. McGaughey could not tell whether there was anythine poisonous in it until a chemical analysis can be made, which will be performed in this city as soon as practicable. Some of tho Yale faculty will probably make the analysis. Probably Dr. Moses O.

White.who made an examina-ation in tbe Jennie Cramer murder case, as well as in the Mary Stannard case, will do the work. The body of the murdored man was taken last night to the poor grounrl in the VVal-lingford cemetery. The body and shoe box and all weighed a little over loo pounds. Whether the next twenty-four hours will discover the perpetrator or not remains to bo seen. Much fault is found by some that the borough authorities do not at once offer a reward of $500 and $1000, or evetifmore, for the discovery of the murderer.

Still there is much activity, and the authorities of Meri-den and surrounding places are anxious that the murderer should be caught, lhere is not far from where the body was found a pond of about two acres, covered with a tfreem scum. ud is a gloomy and miasmatic phice. The authorities will probably have it dragged this afternoon, In order to see it the missing head or limbs, or anything that could afford a clew, can be found there, Says the Dog was Licensed and Not Cross, William II.

August 10. James Bailleo Hamilton was married today at Westminster Abbey to Lady Evelyn, the fourth daughter of the Duke of Argyle, Mr. Ham A regular session of the Common Council was held last evening. Three hundred dollars was appropriated for grading Beacon street, and $C00 for grading and for a sewer on Summit avenue. The matter of the fire alarm telegraph was taken up, on which Mr.

Symonds hud moved a reconsideration. Tbe Council had voted to adopt the Pearce Jones system of New York. Mr. Symonds has always been a strong and persistent advocate of the Game well system, and claimed that it was the only tho city should adopt. He commenced to read letters in regard to the system, when Mr.

Welch asked why he could not read the letters and make comments separate, so that it could be told which was which. He read a voluminous mass of testimony, written and printed, in favor of the Gamewell system, and denied that he had ever received a cent from any individual or corporation for his influence on any matter before the city government. He then moved that the vote of the Council in favor ot the Pearce Jones system be reconsidered. Reconsideration was refused by a vote ot 19 to 2. and three absent It is probable that a meeting of the aldermen will be called for Thursday evening, to act upon the tire alarm question.

Msrcb. Expected Settlement at Peabodv Soon. The State Board to be Called Upon "All's Well Ttat Ws the Talt at His Men Return and Praise Him for Fair Treatment Rumcr that Brockton Knights May Order the Back. Peabody, August 10. A compromise is coming; it is in the order of things, and is unquestionably only a few days distant The Knights of Iabor, who are champions of the rights of labor, now hold the winning cards.

There is no question but that they will play them judiciously, and if they do, this success, as far as a speedy return to work is concerned, is assured. The locked-out men are behaving admirably, their leaders are marshalling them in tine style, every hour meetings are being held, and the men are admonished not to resort to any acts of violence. In addition to this, delegates are upon the streets, and are cautioning he men to he firm, but to preserve the peace under all circumstances. They are doing this, and as long as they continue just so sure are they to succeed ultimately. The manufacturers have locked them out, it is true, but in locking the men out they have locked their own business up also.

This the men are beginning to realize, although the manufacturers have felt it themselves for two weeks past Business is going on in the neighboring towns, and other manufacturers are securing the emolument which should accrue to Peabody manufacturers. Then again, when they locked their men out, they left a. large quantity of leather unfinished, and a llarge number of orders that were not tilled. To be sure, they succeeded in securing the services of a few non-union men, but their services have been totally inadequate. Sixty shops were in the combination of manufacturers here and at Salem, and those sixty shops employed several thousand hands, who, of course, were all locked out.

There are not 200 non-union men in the whole place, so it can readiiy be seen that the Peabody manufacturers' business is in a chaotic state. -Manufacturers realize this, but they will not or at least up to the present time have not been willing to admit it and have been carrying on stubborn warfare. Until yesterday the combination of manufacturers stood like a Gibraltar against tho knights. They took their position, nputi the high ground of disdain and contempt, and on this ground they reared their acropolis. But now the outer walls of the citadel are beginning to totter and tremble.

One of tbe leading manufacturers has succumbed. Four weeks ago, Kewman Perkins, doing business on Grove street, joined the combination and with the others locked out his men. Yesterday he succumbed, and today all his old hands. Knights of Labor, are at work in his factory. Fifty-nine hours was the issue, and at Perkins' factory henceforward fifty-nine hours it is to be.

The knights, of course, are elated over this concession. Said one of the leading members of the local assembly today: "Ve have effected a very satisfactory compromise with Mr. Perkins. The knights are well satisfied, and so is Mr. Perkins.

The manufacturers are endeavoring to learn just how the matter has been adjusted, but they cannot. Mr. Perkins says that henceforward he proposes to deal with his men and not with the manufacturers. They can't learn from him and I am sure they won't learn from us. Tho manufacturers, members of the local assembly and the Board of Selectmen have been busy all day.

The settlement effected between Mr. Perkins and his men has been the all-absorbing topic. It is rumored today and The Globe is pretty authoritatively informed that the manufacturers, through the Board Selectmen, have agreed to treat with the knights through the State Board of Arbitration. This would of course be very satisfactory to- the knights. At noon when the scabs rode through the streets to dinner, the crowds were not as large as heretofore and only a few sneers and cat calls were given ORDER TIIK LASTEBS BACK.

What the liasters mt Brockton May Do to Settle Matters. Brockton, August 10. It is learned on good authority that the suggestion printed in the morning Globe, that the Knights of Labor could easily settle the present trouble here by ordering those lasters belonging to their order back to work, is being seriously considered by the officials of that body. It is said that a meeting with the manufacturers will be held today for that purpose. "ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL." This the Happy Blotto Agreed to by Squire and Ills Bffen.

"All's well that ends well." said Captain Murray of the third Cambridge division today, as he sat reading The Globe in Station 3, with his feet on a chair. "All's well that ends well," echoes John P. Squire, as he looks from his office into the busy rooms where the wheels of industry are once more buzzing merrily; and "all's well that ends well," returns the hardy old hands, as, clad with the habiliments of honest toil, they file out of the open door to the twelve stroke of the noonday clock. Everywhere about the breezy corners of East Cambridge, where anxious groups ave been wont to gather, perfect peace or quiet jubilation reigned this morning. Every man that could possibly be accommodated with work was welcomed to the Sfene of his old labors Nearlv 350 there were in all those of the killing gang, the cellar gang, the floor gang and part of the cutting gang.

The full 750 or more will be back before the end of the Bit what has become of the scabs? is the universal question. "Oh, there is no use for them," is the answer. "The old hands don't want them near them at all, and when they go to Mr. Squire with complaints he simply shrugs his shoulders and says he doesn't soe what he can do about it. So be it to They'll all be gone sbon." The teamsters felt as if the ijcturn to work was deserving of a liule ce.ebration.

and ns Mr. Squire had not the least objection, all the horses are decorated this mornincr with small flags fluttering from their ears. Ono man, more enthusiastic than tho others, baa bis horse adorned with two large 'jxl'i Mags, as well as the smaller ones. All hands sneak very favorably of their treatment this morning, and have high hopes for the future. Kow that the contest Is all over, there is general disposition to give credit where it is due.

The Cambridge police come in for a larsre share of this. They have had to cope with circum-Rt aiires of which thov were wholly in experienced. That they did their duty with bravery, coolness and discretion is the unanimous verdict Mr. Hnuire also holds a high place In the people respect, and no doubt whatever is expressed that he will keen his promise to investigate the charges of injustice which tbe meu have made, and to see what can be done about increasing the wages oi tne men. It is authoritatively reuorted that here after no man in Squire' pork-nackin PARADING FIREMEN.

There is, perhaps, no official connected with the New York New England railroad who has vi orked more conscientiously in the interest of the road, and to whom its successful release from the embarrassments of a few months ago is due than President Charles R- Clark, and now that the future of the company is most favorable, the English stockholders have taken the opportunity to present President Clark with a most elaborate and costly token of their appreciation. In response to a call the popular president visited Lee, Hisginson bankers. State street, this forenoon, and was presented by the firm in behalf of a number ot prominent English men, stockholders in the road, with a magnificent fruit receiver of solid silver, heavily and richly chased, the receptacle being of solid gold. The piece is of urn shape, with heavy silver handles at either side of tbe circular receiver, and stands some two feet high, the receiver beinir about fifteen inches in diameter. On its front surface 18 engraved: Presented to Charles P.

Clark, Pretiideut of the Sew York Jiew Euglana by some English shareholders in grateful recognition of his successful efforts to retrieve the fortunes of the company. and on the reverse the double monogram, elegantly chased, bb- p. The gift is of English manufacture, and its value roue hlv estimated at 1500. President Clark was wholly nnconscions of the esteem in which he was held across the water, but returned thanks a3 best he could for the magnificent gift, which now occupies a prominent position in his office, from where it will shortly be removed to a more suitable place. Too Many Convict Crusrtmakert.

At a special meeting at No. 176 Tremont street last evening. Brushmakers' Assembly, 5093. Knights of Labor, appointed delegates to the national convention of that trade, which is to be held in Philadelphia, August 15. The brushmakers are trreatly dissatisfied with the way in which convict labor is absorbing the work in their line, and will endeavor either to get such labor abolished entirely, or to lessen the percentage of the same to correspond with the number of men.

There are at present over 200 convicts employed in manufacturing brushes at the county jail in East Cambridge, while the number of men legitimately employed in the manufacture of brushes in Cambridge falls nearly 100 short of that. Does Not Worry Boston Railroad Men. The report from Chicago that there was to be a general cut in rates from that city to Boston causes not the least ripple in railroad circles here. The opinion of railroad men was voiced by the manager of the Baltimore Ohio, who said: "Oh, it will not amount to anything, I guess. It would be a foolish move, anyway.

Of course, I only referu to the rates from Chicago to Boston, which are wholly independent of those from here to Chicago, and it need not eliect Boston people in the least." Death of an Ex-Governor.

Rumors of the Line of Defenca Excltemsnt at tie Hearisi Important Testimony of the Commissioner. He Gives in Detail His Relations With Hubert 0. Thompson. New York, August 10. A big 6tir was created at the Mayor's office about noon today, and during the investigation by Mayor Grace of Commissioner Squire's conduct by the announcement that on an indictment, found by the grand jury for malfeasance in Dftice ami bribery and corrupt conduct, a Pench warrant had been issued for the commissioner's arrest.

The warrant was taken to the district attorney's office, and by him put into the hands of Inspector Byrne. Maurice B. Flynn has also been indicted, but whether a warrant has been issued or Dot could not be learned The Globe correspondent was furnished today with an outline of the proposed defence by an intimate friend of Flynn, who claims to be familiar with every move that has been agreed upon. As thus disclosed the defence will be as follows: Squire to swear that he wrote the famous letter addressed to Flynn at the dictation of Thompson, without the knowledge of Flynn, on December 25, 1884, about a week before his nomination by Ed-son to the position of commissioner. Thompson is dead, and can't deny it.

Having got Mr. Flynn out of tho hole, Mr. Squire, it is claimed, will then swear himself out by swearing that the corrupt contract in the letter was never consummated, because lie went to Thompson on December 29. two days before he was nominated, and said he wanted to withdraw the letter, as his friends advised him that he should not enter into anybargain of thatkind.Thompson uave him a letter which he supposed was the Flynn document, and he immediately destroyed it. Then, when he became commissioner of public works, he was no longer A Party to tbe Corrupt IJarsaln, and didn't learn the Flynn letter was in existence for several months afterwards.

Thompson is in his grave and can't deny all this, and Mr. Flynn. as far as he is con earned, it is claimed, will go on the stand and corroborate Squire. That this theory of the defence Is about the right one was proven today when the Mayor's investigation of the charges against Squire was resumed. The flavor's office was crowded, as yesterday's disclos ures had created more interest in this in vestigation than in any of recent years, not excepting the alderinanic boodle cases.

Squire was examined in his own behalf by Lawyer Strahan. His story was listened to with intense interest. Squire said that his acquaintance witn Hubert O. Thompson began in the fall of 1873. He was intro duced to the late leader of the County Democracy by William A.

Simmons, then collector of the port of Boston. The next notable meeting that Squire and Thompson had, according to Squire, was at the Democratic National Convention of 1884. Mr. Thompson used Squire to assist him to get Butler to use his influence for Cleveland. In answer to the question when it was he Was First Consulted About the Position, Commissioner of Public Works Sqnire said that Mr.

Thompson sent for him on December 24. 1884, and opened conversation with him by saying that he thought he could be of use to him in politics. "I asked him how," continued Squire, "and Thompson said 'You are aware that Edson has nominated a man for commissioner of public works, and we have stopped that Mr. Edson won't nominate me (Thompson), and although Grace pledged himself before his election to appoint me if he had the opportunity, he has gone back on me. The thing has come down to a fight "I fcaid to Thompson "Well, Mr.

Thompson, I don't know much about New York politics; but if I can be of any assistance to you I Wia make a KOOi lieutenant' Thompson reminded me of the fact that I said I went to school with Mr. Edson, and suggested to me to so and see Edson and try if I could not have him send my name to the aldermen lor confirmation. I went to Mr. Edson's house at 10 o'clock that night and excused myself from intrusion by saying that my excuse would be found in my message. I said: Mr- E(Ison, I think I can name a man who, if nominated, can be continued as commissioner of public jj 'Who is the he asked.

"I answered I am the and Mr. Edson then said 'Mr. Squire. I think You Are Uecelvlnsr Yourarlf. You don't mean to say that you can do what I nave been unable, to "Nothing resulted from the Interview of ny special importance, and the next time I aw Mr.

Men's wear, woollens, flannels and blankets were in moderate request, and prices continue farm. Foreign goods were rather more active in first hands.

The Pullman train of passenger cars some time since contracted for by the Old Colony railroad management, to run in connection with the Fall River line of Sound 6teames, has arrived in Boston, its completion having been delayed by strikes iu the Pullman works, where the cars were constructed.

This train consists of five cars, each 60 feet long (standard length of Old Colony coaches), and seating seventy-six passengers, two parlor coaches of the most improved pattern and a baggage car. These cars have the dark, Pullman coloring, and are tastefully ornamented on the outside. The trucks tOld Colony standard) are mounted on 42-inch, steel-tlrod wheels bf the most approved make. The inside finish is of solid mahogany, the designs especially provided by the Pullman company, and assuredly as elegant as anything of the kind to be found in the country. The bead linings are of oak, handsomely decorated.

The seats have frames of mahogany, and are ot the most modern construction, with cushions and backs upholstered in crimson plush and fatted with the Hale and Kilburn springs. This is the first solid train of Pullman made coaches ever constructed for exclusive service in New England, and it is withgut doubt the finest train ever entering this ieition. Every modern and improved appliance has been furnished, including electric communication with the engineer, in place of the boll-cord arrangement. GLOUCESTER.
