THE STRIKERS LOSING HEART
Railroad Companies Gaining strength
Traffic Resumed.

Railroad COmpantes Gaining strength
Traffic Resumed.
fBy eloAmerican cable to the Dispatch.I
GLASGOW, December 3O.-The aspect Of
the railroad strike continues to improve
from the standpoint Of the companies.
The striEcrs are evidently discouraged and
seem TO lose heart more and more every
hour. The North British Railroad Com
panv is slowly but surely reOpenlng It's
closed routes, and passenger and freight
traffic along its lines are improving hourly.
Some excitement was caused dur1ng
tho morning by the report that
there had been a serious COLLISION pc
tween the strikers and the men recently
brought from England TO work for the
caledonia railroad. The report proved TO
be exaggerated, and was sinmered Gown 10
the fact that one of the strikers pickets Sc
riously assaulted two Of the English labor
ers who were going 20 their work on the
Caledonia road.
AT AN KHD.
Lafer.-failroad traffic has so improved
that the railroad officials have announced
that so far as the Caledonian road IS con-
cerned the strike is at an end
The Glasgow and Southwestern rallroad
has reinstated many Of its men. This action
Is thought likely 10 cause stampeue oI
the strikers, who are known TO be ANXIOUS
10 return to work.
COLLAPSE OF THE STRIKE
GLASGOW, December 9O.-To-night the
outlook for the railroad strikers Is very
gloomy. The detection in their ranks is
spreading rapidly, while the railway ser
vice is gradually assuming ITS normal con-
dition. There is every prospect that the
strike movement viii soon collapse

Row 1T WILL DE PAID FOR.

When asked how the money was coming
in the Doctor said that times were said %
be tight. and that the church would cost
$40. 600 more than was at first expected,
but that his people were paying up splen::
didly. and that thus far his committee had
been able TO meet every obligation a. 1t
came. But the added that il was really great
enterprise and he knew that his church
felt the weight OF the burden. He said
that in a few days his church would send
out many Of Its most faithful members "a
organize a new church IN the west end OF
the city, and that of course would be a loss,
but he had no fear ss to the final result.
He concluded with the remark that he
and his people were much eheered in the
undertaking by the encouragement and
sympathy Of the pubic, and that while
they were not soliciting aid, they were re-
ceiying substantial assistance from some
friends outside their own ranks
It'll understood that the building Will cost
about 500, 1000. II is hoped that the base
ment will be ready for occupancy by July
1st and the main building by October.

Mrs. Mary Rice Gives Bail for Hel
Appearance to Justice StiIsing.

The examination Of Mrs. Mary Rice,
the accused cashier of the Prudential
Insurance Company came ON this morn
ing. The examination was set down for
ten o'clock, but at that time Lawyer
Peshall and George Rice, the husband of
the accused woman appeared and Mr.. Pc
shall asked for q further postpone
men5 of the case because of important
business in New York which demanded
his attention. Justice Stilsing emphatic
cally refused to adjourn the hearing any
further. Mr.. Peshall then requested q
delay to secure other counsel which the
judge also refused Messrs. Peshall and
Rice then left the court to procure the
presence of Mrs. Rice.
Since the arrest Of Mrs. Rice a key has
been found on a ring which she left in the
Office of the Insurance Company. that had
evidently been made from q copy. This
key Superintendent Sutphen found would
fit the lock of the till drawer in
the safe. The key Is now in the
possession of Chief Murphy, and is prob
ably of some significance as evidence.
Mrs. Rice, however, SAID to Chief Muir
ply that the key was n she used to up-
lock her typewriter cover.
About half past ten when Justice Still

send for the defendant, she came into court
leaning On the arm of her husbands
sister and accompanied by her husband
and Lawyer Peshall' She wore a narrow
brimmed red straw hat, the crown
covered with a broad red ribbon. Her
black hair was wound into a neat coil at
| the back of her head. A long blue cloak
enveloped her, falling to her heels. Her
black eyes contrasted strangely with the
unnatural pallor Of her face. She took q
seat in the front row of benches and
looked about her with an air OF
unconcern, which was palpably assumed.

Justice told her that was unnecessary and
she sat down again in a stiff, awkward
sort of way.
ssHave you any counsel?' asked Justice
Stilsing. She held her breath for a min
ute as If to compose herself, and then said
in a low voice, 81 waive examination"
Justice Stilsing then stated the neces-
sity of a new bondsmau, and
Deios Bliss, of the firm OF
Dodge & Bliss, offered himself
As he bad no property in this country he
was unable to Qualify. During the inter
val before another bondsman was pro.
cured, Detective Dalton approached
Mrs. Rice ana, holding the newly discov-
cred key in his hand, said:-'Is this the
key OF your typewritcr?n
The delicate defendant shot an ami
hilating glance at the gallant Dalton and
said, M counsel instrucus me not tt
talk to anyone.'
Mr.. Charles Van Anglen, of the firm OF

cured to bail Mrs. Rice in the sum Of $500

"clear" water Not Always Pure.

On the fallacy of ~''clearnessv as a test
Of purity in water the following from
Major Powell, director of the Geological
Survey, makes a point of much I'M.
p~ortancs. He is protesting against q pro-
posal to pine water to the Executive
Mansion at Washington from a ''clear''
spring. which he says is presumably pol
luted with sewage from vaults and cess
pools. He adds:-"By a long series of ex-
periments undertaken with a view to
determining economic methods of pre-.
cipitating, n thus removing the finely
divided clay contained in the waters sup.
piled In cities. it was found that there
were many different mineral substances
each of which would cause the precipita
ttion of the clay if added to the water in
small amounts, but the most powerful
preclpitant-tne one which produced the
result be the most remote a~ddition-was
sewage. From the point of view Of the
sanltarian the limpid purity OF the spring
and well Is a suspicious quality
