BIRMINGHAM.

A. horse was driven from New Haven last Saturday, out as far as Derby, when he dropped dead upon the street. The young men thought of something just then which required their imm ediate attention out of town, and they left.
 "Doc" Jocelyn has once more figured in police circles, but was discharged through some technicaliLy of the law. There is a loop hole left for everybody to crawl out of are willing to do an honest days work for an honest days pay.
 A horrible case of Restitution and misery was brought to light in the columes of the l Sentinel last Wednesday, It was found Monday, by the strikers, with coal, provis- ions, etc., in great abundance. He can be found any time playing pool, smoking, etc, and for that reason no mo"ey was given him. He weighs or g pounds more than when he went on strike.
 Great promises of happiness and wealth are advertised by Florida land speculator to all those who will send $10 or $20 for a deed of block of land in that Southern cline. Several persons have sent on money from this town and are just so much money out, as it is understood by the know ing ones to be land in some swampy and deserted place, hundreds of miles from any town or city. We hope that none of our | EXAMINER friends will be YictlmlZed by this alluring scheme. The cold wave and snow storm which reached here this week has driven livery stock way above par, and the small boy | who owns a sled finds all there is to live 1 for. Those who are on the streets early are almost sure to have an icicle hanging to their nose, and as they drop in to get something warm, the usual remark is, | ''pretty cold" It has driven the 'tSons of Rest", we'll known organization in this town, to closer quarters with the stove, where they hnddle around, and "bone their nelghbors for a chew. @ .< =a1
 Floyd's Minstrel and Speciality company start out next Monday for an extended tour, making their first stop in New Haven. From there they go to Meriden and play there three nights, and on to Middletown and Portland Friday and Saturday nights. Hartford will be visited some day during the following week, and then the troupe will move toward Rhode Island and around to Massachusetts. In all probability they will play in Boston a week. We wish them a successful trip, as they deserve the sup port of the people, taking into considers tion the object that forces them to this ac- ton, viz: The support of the Derby Silver company's strike. All hail Floyd's Min strels.
 The Silver workers strike still seems to be the all absorbing topic. John H. Hayes l of the Executive Board failed to effect a settlement When we consider what this means, it necessarily creates alarm, as the fate of Birmingham rests in his hands. If the boycott is put on, every manufactuory in the town of Derby will be effected, as chose having an interest in the Silver Go. will be boycot4ed. This is laying seige tc the town, and there is no doubt but that ii will force many of the firms into bankruptcy. There will be no use in manufacturing goods if the goods cannot be sold. While we feel for those who must suffer, we can not bring ourselves to think that the action of the Executive Board is no other than right We know that it is the combination of the manufacturers the K. of L. is fight ing, and for that reason it becomes necess ary to wage war against them all, although it will create suffering among the poor people of the town Yet we fail to find 1with the exception of those we expected would complain) any who fiud fault with this action. It is a fight between labor and capital, so let it be war to the knife Whichever side wins, it will be a dear bought victory; and when it is settled we hope it will be the last that shall ever occur in the town of Derby. -
