=DANBURx,s EXCITEMENT.

A Strike Among the Matters Threatens
 to Throw Ten Thousand Men Gut
 or Work - A Destructive Fire Yes.
 terday.
 DANBURY, Nov. 16.-The town is highly excited over the strike among the matters. About 1000 trimmers, mostly girls, went out on strike Saturday, and this will cause the shutting down of the entire shops to the number of eighteen, and will throw 10, 600 men out of work. The mer- chants are thoroughly alarmed and are doing all they can to hinder the strike.
 For the past five years there has been an agreement between the Trimmers' associa- ton and the Manufacturers association, which has been respected. Some time ago the members of the Trimmers' association decided that a few changes were needed, and for this purpose called a meeting The Manufacturers association refused to recognize the changes, and the trimmers decided to dispose of the agreement al- together.
 The manufacturers became alarmed and asked the trimmers to rescind their vote and let the changes which they decided to make be presented before a board of arbi- tration. This tho trimmers refused to do. whereupon the manufacturers said that unless they acceded to their demand they would close the shop next Monday. The trimmers decided to stick to their part of the fight and all have gone out.
 The carpenter shop and lumber yards of Foster Brothers, together with the hat wire manufactory of F. D. Frye & Co. and large tenement house owned by Henry Berend, all located on Delay street, were destroyed by fire early this morning. The fire was of incendiary origin. The fire started at the rear of the lumber shed, ragged for two hours and destroyed S25, 900 worth of property. The insurance is light.

THE SERPENT DISASTER.

Story of the Founderfng as Told
 by Two of the, Three Survivors,
 Their Terrible Battle for Life The
 Third Critically HI.
 CoRUNNA, Nov. 16.-The British gun
 boat Lapwing brought the Serpent's survi-
 vors to Corunna to-day. An Associated
 Press correspondent boarded the Lapwing
 on her arrival and had an interview with one of the survivors named Burton, who said that the Serpent struck covered rock about 10:30 o'clock on Monday night, the weather at the time being dirty, but not foggy. All hands were below except the officers and six watchmen. Immediately after the shock all who were below rushed to the deck. The crew obeyed the orders of the officers, and there was no panic. A large boat was soon lowered, but it was smashed to pieces and the occupants perished. It then became evident that it would be useless to lower other boats. An attempt to throw a cable ashore also failed. Meanwhile men board. Burton saw one wave wash twelve men into the sea. About an hour after the Serpent struck the captain gave the men leave to save themselves as they thought best. Burton jumped overheard, having life belt around his waist, as had all the men on watch. Nobody followed him. After swimming for two or three hours, battling with immense waves all the time, he reached calm water and landed in an exhausted condition, although his only injury was slight abrasion of the skin. After resting awhile he met Luzon, another survivor, and together ft,<ary Ira1 fro vii rxx-, from the scene of the wreck, whence some of the villagers conveyed them to Cama- rons. While at Camarons he identified many bodies that had been washed ashore
 Luzon, another of the survivors, was too ill to be on deck and was found below He sat up in bed and .chatted gayly with the correspondent. He confirmed Bur toms statement. Luzon was washed over board half an hour after the shock of the ship striking the rock. He was without fe-preserver or belt He tried with all his strength to avoid spot where he heard the sea beating on some rocks. Af- ter being in the water an hour and half he reached calm water. After he had landed on the sand he discovered that piece of flesh had been torn out of his leg He did not know how he had sus- tained the injury, as he had When he walked every step seemed more painful than the one before it. Luzon regained consciousness, however, and is now improving. Both Burton and Luzon say they believe that the Serpent deviated from her course owing to the weather. They state that the moment the Cape Vil- lano light was sighted the Serpent struck. The light was very faint. Burton says he he thinks that the Serpent sank soon after he left. When the Lapwing left the scene of the disaster forty-eight bodies of victims had been buried, many without being rec ognized. The majority of the victims were not drowned, but were killed by being dashed against the rocks. Gould, the third survivor, is very i'll, suffering from high fever, and could not be interviewed.

For Dyspepsia Use Horsford.s Acid Phosphate.

Dr. Lorenzo Waite, Pittsfeld, Mass, says: 'From its use for period of about eight weeks, to the exclusion of all other remedies, I attribute the restoration to health of a patient who was emaciated to the last degree, in consequence of nervous prostration and dyspepsia. This patients stomach was in such an irritable condition that he could not bear either liquid or solid food. An accomplished physician of many years experience, whom I called in consultation, pronounced his case an incurable one. At this stage decided to use Horsford's Acid Phosphate, which re- suited as above mentioned" n17 3teodltw

.- A MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY. Two Stories Of How an Express
 Messenger Was Robbed on .
 Georgia Railroad Train.

Georgia Railroad Tra1ns
 AUGUSTA, Ga., Nov. 16.-Last Sunday both night trains on the Georgia road be- tween Augusta and Atlanta were robbed of express matter. Last nights train from here for Atlanta met the same fate. Ex- press Messenger Corput of Atlanta, in place of messenger who was robbed, was in his car unsuspecting anything. Above Messina man entered and commanded him to open the safe. There are two sto- ries of the robbery. One is that Corput refused to comply, at the same time draw ing his revolver, whereupon the robber fired, the ball penetrating his hat, but not touching the messenger, who returned the shot. Corput thinks he hit the robber, as there are spots of blood on the car foor Detectives and express officials visited the scene, but, strange to say, can find no evidence of where a man had jumped from the train, if he left it at all.
 Another account of the affair is that the robber covered the messener with a pistol and commanded him to open the safe and hand out the money, which Corbut pro- ceeded to do. Quickly drawing his pistol while apparently obeying the robber, he reached around to his left side and fired through his coat, hitting the man, who in turn fired, sending ball through the messengers hat and fled. The condition | of the ground along where the robbery oc- cured is soft, and the trainmen say that man could not have jumped without leaving footprints and evidences of where he landed, but none are to be found. The whole affair is mysterious.
