ON THE STRIKE.
Street Cars on Broadway Again at "a
StandstiIl-Longer Hours and No Ad.
vance in Wages the Cause.

NBx YORK, Aug 90
The Broadway road has just been tied up.
Ill the others are still running.
Fears are entertained that another general
tie up OF the surface roads in this city and
Brooklyn is on the eve of taking place. A
new time table was put into effect this morn
ing on the Broadway road and as it makes
the hours much longer, without increasing
the pay of the men, the latter are very indig-
nant. The employees had meeting last night
that was continued into this morning. The
subject under discussion was "strike or no
strike" What result was reached is not
known but an endeavOr will be made by
Broadway men to get the Sixth, Eighth and
Ninth avenue roads to go out with them. If
they succeed general strike is predicted.
Under the new law the men say they are ac-
tuslly worked "a hours, instead of II, by a
trick. The law which says that horse rail-
road employees shall not be worked more than
II hours day ingeniously omitted to say
twelve consecutive hours" and it would be
easy to arrange a schedule under it so that a
driver should be lawfully deprived of any
chance to sleep three consecutive hours a
day.
The police took possession of the stables of
the Broadway surface road as soon as it was
known that the men were on strike. Re-
serves in every precinct were held in stations
in case of riots, but up to this hour a P. NJ. }
everything is quiet and no indication of dis
turbance is anywhere apparent.
Another dispatch saws: The employees of
the Broadway and Seventh Avenue and
Broadway and University place lines, who
stopped work today did so on account of the
change, Sunday, in schedule time. This
change, it it is claimed, added from three to
FIVE hours to the work of each driver and con
ductor. The employees of the other west side
lines have been much dissatisfied with the
various alleged exactions of their supern-
intendents, being obliged to work longer
honrs all around. 1t was said this morning
by conductor on the Beecker street road,
that all of the west side lines except Eighth
avenue would be called out tomorrow morn
ing.

A Healthy Body and n Clear Head

II Indigestion, constipation and bliousness
torment the body, the head cannot be clear.
These disorders react upon the brain most
hurtfully, and produce a cloudiness in the
organ of thought not experienced by a healthy
man. Happily these brain-oppressing mala-
dies may be entirely dispelled by that peer
less lalterative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which cheers. refreshes and invigorates the
brain and nerves, while it regulates the or
gans of digestion, assimilation and bilious
secretion. 1t expels the morbid humors
which poison the system through the bowels
and urinary passages, and exerts a powerful
invigorating Influence as well. Its cathartic
action is never irritating, violent or painful,
but even, natural and progressive. As an
appetizer and sleep promoter. the Bitters is
unrivslled; it mtigates the infirmities Of age,
relieves the ailments peculiar to the gentler
sex, arrests premature decay, and builds up
an enfeebled physique.

Arrival OF Schooner Arthur ID. Story
from Fishing Cruise in Iceland
Waters.
GLOuCESIER. Mass Aug.

GLOUCESTER, Mass Aug. 90.
Schooner Arthur d. Story, Capt. Ryan,
arrived this afternoon from Isefjord, Iceland,
and is the first of fleet to arrive. She re-
ports that heavy storms were met with and
great precaution had to be taken to keep from
collding with numerous icebergs. The ves-
eel came through the strait of Belle Isle.
The captain reports stopping in several har-
bors and making inquiries about mackerel,
but was told by the natives that none had
been seen there this season.
The winter at Iceland was reported fine,
and Goldfish we're caught on the coast all win
ter The month of May was favorable for
hslbut fishing, but heavy gales of wind ac-
companied by snow storms, continuously
prevailed so that fishing was retarded and
the fleet had done poorly. Goldfish on the
coast were scarce and prices are low. A
large number of French fishermen were seen
and had done nothing. Reports from Norway
are favorable and codfshing is the best ever
known on that coast. The rest of the fleet
are reported meeting with no disasters.
The Story brings about half fare. Capt.
Ryan thinks the vessels will not obtain full
fares, for stormy weather and drift ice on
the coast will not permit. The Story was
the last vessel sailing from this port April
Goth, for Iceland the Iceland coast, and is the
earliest arrival ever reported from there.

TROUBLE In THE EAST.
English Opinions on the Deposition OF
Prince Alexander-A Prospect OF Sc.
rious Trouble With Russia.
LONDON, Aug. 23.

LONDON, Aug. 2S.
The Daily Telegraph commenting on the
Bulgaria revolution says it proves that the
Bulgarians are incapable of becoming a unit
ed nation, proclaims that rumpet-tongued
Russia is again lord of the Balkan Range and
of Bulgarian ports on Euxine Sea and must
awaken lively reflections IN the minds of the
Ottomans.
The Morning Post saws: 1t is evident that
Prince Alexander's courage has been worn
out by the slow course of incessant intrigue
and conspiracy with which he found himself
confronted.
The Daily News says: 1t 10 obvious that
Prince Alexander was deprived of his throne
by direct orders of the Czar. The official
version of revolution 10 so fagrantlv and
| transparentlv dishonest that it will not de-
ceive child. The effect may be extremely
serious. Russis's action is absolutely un-
warranted and without excuse. The argu-
ment of the Berlin Post that the revolution
implies = Russian victory over English infiu-
ence in the east is absurd. No power is less
interested ethan England. Alexander was
nominally vassal OF the Sultan, and if it
can be shown shat he was deposed without
the Sultan's consent, gave international diff
ficulty will at once be raised.

Bulgaria comes at present through official
couriers and no private person is allow ed
neither to enter or leave Bulgaria. The tel

The Times commenting on the Bulgarian
affairs says the event must be regarded as
triumph of Russian diplomacy and it is a
very impressive event.
SOFIA, Aug. 90.
The governments proclamation announc-
ing the deposition of Prince Alexander and
the reasons therefore declares that "He rend
cred great service on the field of battle, but
politically he had too little regard for Bull

RICHMOND, Aug. 90.
Inc temperance campmeeting opened a,
~ o'clock. Rev. w. S. McIntire presided
and Rev. Mr.. Brigham offered PRAYER. The
leader proposed the following question for
discussion
what can be done to prevent our Young
men from beginning the use of intoxicants a.
beverage?
Practical answers were given by Revs. F.
+. Jones, Griffin. C. F, Allen, and Mrs
Estes and Allen. They recommended the
temperance training of the young, the total
abstinence of men and women of influence
and the annihilation of the grog shop. At
o'clock, Rev. F. A. Bragdon delivered an ad.
dress. He spoke as follows:
By request of your president, / am to talk
to you a little while on the great and many
sided subject of temperance. 1t has its eco.
nomical, Its social, Its political, its moral and
its religious sides. Shall ] talk to you of its
economical aspect and marshal an array OF
ngures or statistics to prove that intemper-
ance taxes US all and more than anything else
does? Ne, you know about the figures Shall
l talk OF its social and moral aspects? How
the sensibilites are blunted, the fines,
types of intellect are overthrown; how our
jals and prisons, our lunatic asylums and
poor houses are filled with the wreck and
debris of intemperance. You know it all
and perhaps the hand of the monster has
touched some one that it is dear to you and
you have been filled with a shame and sor.
row which you would not mention to your
dearest friend. No, l do not like to talk
about that. Shall dwell upon the blight OF
the heart, the dulling of the religious nature
and the doom of the drunkard? Or shall |
sketch the rise and growth of the great tenn
perance reform movement in this nineteenth
century? That will be more genial task.
Temperance reform is but an infant of a few
years. Its first organized effort was made
within the lifetime of some here today.
This infant is strong and stalwart and is filed
with the breath of God. 1t breathes out the
perfume of truth and righteousness and un-
dying love.
The speaker rapidly sketched the history
of temperance reform from the earliest
times. making mention of the work done by
Beecher and Father Matthew. The first total
abstinence society was formed in Massachu-
setts in 1883; the Washingtonisn movement
in 1910; the rise of the orders of Sons of
Temperance and Good Templars in 1912 and
1852 He spoke of the temperance legisla-
ton of 1857, and the Maine law and its his
tory
Tomorrow will be Good Templar day. G..

Hon. NelsoniDingley will speak.

Baby Born on the sidew.,s and
tossed INTO Garden The Coroner,s
Jury Finds the Mother Insane.

LEWISTON, Aug. %.
singular and horrible crime was perpe-
.ra'eo In Lewiston, Saturday night. On CO.
ing into his garden Sunday morning Hon. j.
d. nam found there male baby, dead and
naked. He notified Coroner Small who took
IL In charge and notified the police. 1t was
easy 10 trace the crime. That baby was
born on the sidewalk. The mother was Miss
Mary Pooler. The police ELECTED from
Mary full confession. She said she started
Tor the woods Saturday night, not caring
whether she lived or died, but she gave birth
to the infant on the sidewalk and with her
own hands tossed it into Mr. Hams garden.
She said she fell down twice, from exhaus.
ton, on her way home. Coroner Small held
an inquest this morning.
The jury brought in verdict as follows,
entirely clearing the woman from criminal
intent:
The jury find that the infant child came to
ITS death from exposure and lack of care al
the time of its birth. We find that its mother
Is Mary Pooler. The evidence does not war.
rant US in finding the mother guilty of felony
in connection with the death of the child, bu,
satisfies US that she was not rational and re-
sponsible at the time.
The infant was delivered over to the un-
dertaker at the request of the mother, Mon.
day afternoon and will be inferred by the
family.
The girl, Mary Pooler, is convalescent.

Parnelf's Amendment to the Queens
Address.

LONDON, Agg q.
Parnells amendment to the address by the
Queen is substantially as follows: We
humbly assure Your Majesty that we fear
that owing to the heavy fall in prices of ag
ricultural products the greatest difficulty will
be experienced during the coming winter by
the Irish tenant farmers in the payment of
present rents. Many may be uuable to pay
and many evictons and coniscation of rights
vested in tenants by the land act of 1881 will
follow, causing widespread suffering and en-
danger the maintenance of social order. We
deprecate any attempt to transfer the loss
due to the inability to pay rents from owners
of land to tax payers of Great Britain and
Ireland by any extension of state assisted
purchase on basis of rents fixed when prices
were higher than they are now.
