There is apparently no prospect of Il settle
nent OF the strike of the Traction Company's
employees at Bridgeport, Conn, and the bad
street ear service that has been subjected to
Tor weeks past is still on tap. The big cit-
zens' mass meeting held in the Park Theatre,
at which committee was appointed
to confer with the officers OF the Trac-

settlement OF the difficulty, did not amount
TO anything. Ex-Mayor Patrick Coughlin

will report to the general committee that they
have waited upon Col. Heft, the general man
ager of the road, and have received the in
formation that the officers Of the company
'can run their road without the advice OF the

st. Paul, Oct. 2s. - The supreme
court handed down seven decisions
yesterday. two of which We're by

2. A bicycle is vehicle, and rid
ing one i'll the usual manner, as is
now done upon the public highway,
for convenience, recreation, pleasure
or business, is not unlawful.
3. A person cannot be made to pay
damages for his acts unless they are
done in such manner, and ut time

THE STEAMER PARIS RUNS DOWN

southampton, Oct. 26. = Between
lI:3O and = o'clock yesterday morn
Zig the American line steamer Paris,
which arrived here from New York,
ran down and probably sank an un-
known ship. The weather was very
thick at the time, a heavy rain falling.
AS soon as the collision occurred the
Iarls was put about and search
made for the ship. After time the
vessel or clpsized wreck was re-
ported off starboard, but sight of it was
lost before life-boat could be low
cred. Nothing further was seen,
though the Paris lay off searching I'M
til daylight. The steamer sustained
no damage beyond having a uortion of
her rail bent and two wire stays brok-
ell. Sailors on the Paris say that the
sailing vessel showed signals OF dis
tress after the collision, and that
screams We're heard aboard of her 1t
is stated that a white light was seen
on board the ship three minutes be-
fore the collision, but that no red or
green light was visible until after the
steamer had struck her. Capt. Wat

regarding the accident, except to the

Condition of Trade.

New York, Oct. 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Engrossing political excitement in
many Of the states causes natural
slackcning in some kinds of business.
But OH the whole business indications
are rather more favorable than they
were week ago. Gold exports have
ceased. quite number Of mills having
gone into operation and the demand
for products, if not equal to thaLtof
prosperous years, is better than it has
been most of the time this year. The
prices of farm products do not i'm
prove much, and there are still some
strikes to resist reduction of wages,
so that the purchasing power of the
people cannot have materially in
creased, but there is a more hopeful
spirit which prompts greater activity.
On the other hand, the record of past
transactions is somewhat less favora-
BILE than Of late.

VIII Not Interfere.

Washington, Oct. %. - No authori-
tative information can be obtained
here respecting the direct question as
to the presidents purpose to write or
not to write letter announcing his
desire that all Democrats should
earnestly support the Democratic
state ticket in New York. Neverthe-
less it is the opinion Of many of his
friends that he will not in any way
interfere in the New York campaign.
With reference to the presidents reg
istering or voting, one of his closest
friends made the statement to-day
that Mr.. Cleveland had no legal resi-
dence in New York, and could not
lawfully register OF vote there. Mr..
Cleveland himself, it is understood,
has said that his legal residence is in
Washington. 1t can be stated further
that at the expiration Of MI. Cleve-
lands present term he will not again
take up his residence in New York.

derson at Spicer. Mr.. Davis says that
he appeared quite contented with his
condition. though ut that time Il wan
derer without money or a place to

established that young Anderson has
been kept so closely confined on his
musical studies that they became mo-
notonous and distasteful. whereupon
he wandered away without any def
mite idea as to where he was going.

CONFESSED A CRIME
SCHEME WHICH THE 500 WRECK
ERS HAD IN VIEW.

One of the Men I'm jail mt Merrill,
Wis.,. Makes a Full COnfcxsion, I'm
Which He Says Tint Robbery Was
the Motive.
st. Paul. Oct. 2S.-A dispatch re-
ceived several Gays ago announced
the arrest OF two suspicious charac
tiers at Merrill, Wis, supposed to
have been implicated in the wrccking
OF the 500 train near Tomahawk
junction, III which the lirman was
killed and the engineer severely in
jured. The hundred or more pas
scrgers had Il miraculous escape from
almost instant death. From an ex-
animation Of the timbers of the
bridge on which the accident occurred
1t was found that they had been
sawed by some miscreants, but for
what purpose other than robbery no
one knew. There was no trace left
of the men who had committed the
deed, and the officers of the road
feared they would never find them.
The country is so wild and filled
with tough characters that detection
was thought to be next to impossible.
Detectives We're engaged, and it was
due to their efforts, it is understood,
that the two men at Merrill We're az
rested.
A telegram received to-day states
that the two men arrested are the
right parties, and that one of the two
has given full confession, disclosing
one OF the most villainous attempts
to wreck a train and rob it's passen-
gers ever recorded in the annals of
crime. The confession was first made
to a fellow prisoner who had been
placed in the cell with the two sus-
poets for the purpose of learning their
story. Afterward one of the men,
when confronted with his confession.
completely wilted and gave to the Of
ficers a full account of the attempt
to first kill and then rob the passen-
gers. The men gave the names OF
l.. Hazelton and Frank Williams and
it was the former who made the con-
fession. According to this mans
story the two sawed the timbers of
the bridge expecting to wreck the
train and then to go through the pas
sengels, both living and dead. In the
first they We're successful, but finding
that there We're more passengers on
board than they had expected, and
fearing to attack them alone, they
took to the woods. Merrill, the place
at which they are now held, is in Lin
coin county, and Il few miles south
of Tomahawk Junction. They are
the same parties who made the at
tempt to wreck the train at Rhineland-
er.

Tho only facts established at this

now been imprisoned over thirty
hours, and their release will not he

TREATING FOR PEACE.
Negotiations Between China and
Japan May Take an UncADccted

Negotiations Between China and
Japan May Take an Unexpected
Turn.
Washington, Oct. 26.-The peace ne
gotlations between China and Japan
are likely to take an unexpected turn,
according to diplomates here. who are
informed of the progress of affairs.
The critical illness of the car has for
the time being diverted Russia from
the attention she was going to give to
the Eastern war. and has made it inn
probable that the car should take the
initiative toward bringing the contes-
tants together. The Intervention Of
England or France has been viewed
With distrust owing to the territorial
interests these countries have in Asia.
Under these circumstances diplomatic
officials here say that Germany will
undoubtedly take the initiative in any
peace settlement.
