NEW YORK, Dec. 23-Many thousand
Brooklynites, who are accustomed to use
the horse cars of the Brooklyn City rail-
road company, are compelled to-day to
walk The company controls eleven lines
of street cars, all OF which are tied up to-
day. The men claim that the company
failed 70 carry out the agreement made
with the men last March in regard to
hours of work.
One of the causes of the trouble was the
fact that the company would not recognize
the Knights OF labor nor the Empire Pro-
tecuve association in It's negotiations with
its men. About 8 a. m, dozen cars
started under protection of police in east
New York. One OF the cars was attacked
by five strikers and the police promptly
arrested them aud prevented further trou-
BILE.
This morning several citizens went to
the office OF the Empire Protective asscci-
alton and asked how long the strike would
last. The gentlemen were told that the
association did not know. President
Lewis, OF the city lines, said he was not
going to give in. The citizens SAID TO the
association that they would hire fifty
three stages TO run from the bridge and
ferries to their places of business. The
association will agree 10 give them men 60
drive the stages. The Brooklyn City
Railroad company claims its business has
been injured by the concessions of last
spring. This is denied by the Sssocia-
ton, who assert that the company has
paid per cent dividend as against Il per
cent last year. State Arbitrator Florence
Donovan Is In the city to-day and had q

This has been the experience at West Point
and other government schools. Tobacco has
been forbidden in such DR.. Dio Lewis
of Harvard says: "No user of tobacco has
ever taken the first honors of that unlvers-
ity." Then George Augustus Ssla says
"In spite of the fact that some Of our
greatest workers and thinkers of modern
times were inveterate smokers :" yet, at
the same time, he says 1t is t'idle to deny
that excessive smoking weakens the eye
sight, impaIrs the digestion, plays haVoc
with the nerves, and interiors with the ac-

LOGAN's FRIENDS ALARMED.

The IllustrIOus Soldier and Statesman Ser
iOusIy III At WashiDgtOn-His RecOvSTy
Doubtful.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The condition
Of Senator Logan, who has been suffer-
ing for several days from an attack Of
acute rheumatism, has grown worse, so
much so as to seriously alarm his family.
Friends In attendance speak in despond-
emit terms of the prospect Of his recovery.
DR.. J. 81. Baxter, the attending physi-
clan, said to an associated press reporter
to night that the generals condition was
indeed alarming. His illness, said the
doctor, dates back nearly two weeks,
when l was called and found him
suffering considerably from acute
rheumatism. which was then con-
fined chiefly to his right wrist.
In the course of three or four days il
yielded to treatment and he became very
much better. Within day or two, how
ever, he took additional cold, which re-
suited in q relapse, the rheumatic affec-
ton extending to his hips and lower ex-
tremities, as well as to both arms The
attack has been attended at times by high
fever and nervous prOstrAtiOn, In which
the brain was considerably involved re-
sulting In delirium more or less active.
While he is not now suffering any pain
incident to the rheumatism, yet there has
been for the past two or three days
gradual decrease IN strength and ten
dency to brain complication OF very
severe nature. The fact L., said the doc
tor, that he was much reduced in strength
by overWork and his system was not in Q
proper condition to resist disease. He
lies most of the time in a semi-consciOus
condition from which he is with
difficulty aroused at times he
knew his friends, but soon again sinks
into leth6rgic sleep. His fever is some
what increased tonight, continued the
doctor, and the brain symptoms are
more prominent anc his condition must
say, is very critical. In response to
question, the doctor said that the danger
lies not 80 much in the possibility of
heart complications, as In his extreme
exhaustion and brain affection. The doo-
tor said that the senator had an attack
four years ago somewhat similar to the
present, but it was not attended by many
OF the alarming symptoms prominent
now. DR.. Baxter has called DR.. Hamil-
ton, surgeon general of the marine hos
pitAl service, and DR.. Lincoln, as consult
ing physicians. Consultations are held
three or tour times daily One OF the
physicians will remain at the senator's
bedside tonight. TO be relieved by the
other, who will be there the entire day
tomorrow.
A reporter who called at Calumet place
at midnight WAS told that the senator was
thought to be slightly better, seeming to
have improved q little in Strength, and
TO be less inclined to stupor than earlier
In the evening.

A Brothers Spite.

NEW YORK, Dec 24.-Att the beginning
Of the present century Roger Merritt owned
three sections of land In West Chester
county, adjoiuing the then village Of Saw
Pitts. He leased part of the properly and
died interstate IN 1910. Under lease filed
in White Plains in 1902 subsequent
smaller leases for parts Of the land were
made to several parties for ninety nine
years. Then the old house and lands
were converted into business places and In
1860 the inhabitants incorporated the
place into the village of Port Chester. The
land on which the village stands 10
valued now at from $4,000, 600 to
$40, 600 900. In the year of 1850
q leaf in the registers office containing q
record of the original lease was torn out
by some unknown person, the only evil
dence of 1t being in the index. The mat
ter Was put into the hands OF an attorney,
who finally got a clue and left yesterday
for q small town In Alabama where IL is
claimed the identical missing leaf 10
in possession Of the family of John Mer-
rit, son of the original owner who quar-
relied with his brothers and the claim is
that he tore il out through spite.

which the general executive board want
for strikers' purposes. It Ii not easy to
understand why the smaller sum should
be refused. That is In support Of objects
for which the knights exist. But the re-
fusal to help buy q hall il superlatively
sensible. II the Knights in the ranks in
this city ever hope TO control their OWE
affairs they will persistentIY decline to es-
tAblish their present bosses in permanent
quarters. It would mean that the "Home

oumminra Captursd.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-Two local papers
published this morning accounts OF the
arrest here yesterday Of Jim Cummings,
who has long been generally believed TO
be the perpetxatOr Of the st. Louis & San
Francisco express robbery last October,
and two OF his Accomplices. According
to the accounts referred TO, the men were
arrested In . house Of questionable re-
pute, and upwards Of e2o, 600 In money
was captured with them. The men are
said to have been Swallowed for . long
time on account of their lavish display Of
money and . swsggtng gait and appear
ance, which warranted the assumption
that they were railroad brakemen. The
Inter- Ocean will say Tomorrow morning
that these accounts have no
foundation in fact except that
three men were arrested for q small
offense, neither or whom was Jim Gum
mings, nor was in any way connected
with the express robbery. The fading
OF the money Is also denied. The local
authorities are extremely reticent.
Up 10 . late hour Information from
detective SOURCES was Of q decided
meager nature, but conveyed the inn
preston that the officers believed them
selves TO have captured the train robbers.
the papers publishing the reports OF the
arrest maintain etOutly that the
statements given are substantially cor
rect. Their authority IL stated by them
to be equivalent to direct information
from the officers making the arrest. It
Is now reported from the sources Eespon-
sible for the first account that the amount
Of money captured on the robbers was
S75, 600 not 500, 600 Is first stated. The
latest assertions concerning the case are
70 the effect that the men themselves were
not Swallowed, their whereabouts be-
iuR unknown, but notorious woman
who was intimate with the suspected
Cummings was traced here from st.
Louis and has for about ten days been
kept under Constant espionage In this
city This plan was rewarded by
the appearance Of Cummings and his
comrades The man Cummings Is said
to be not the noted desperate bearing
that name, but another whose career has
attracted less attention. All the art1
known to detectives were In use through

morning and afternoon 70 force one or
