Ingtssolf's Talk I'm the Providence
Opera House.

In gcfsoll's Talk In the Providence
a Opera House.
"All power to govern comes from the
governed" said Col. Robert G. Ingersoll
in his lecture entitled, "rhe Liberty of
Man, Woman and Child,n in the Provi-
dcnce Opera House Sunday evening.
just SO, Mr.. Ingersoll, and a large
evident, too, that the governed are quite
content with their present re-
ligious laws and rules, notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Ingersoll's rather flippant and
saucy attack. Unless he can produce
something better perhaps the millions
who are agreed on the general principle

much therefrom by reason of such talk as
was heard In the Opera House last even

they take him seriously, something

apd understands how to keep his audience
good natured. He gives them tragedy,
melo- drama, comedy and farce, he paints
his pictures with master hand, he knits
his sentences with yarn of finest words

imagination. Hearers are pleased but

colors, they fade from memory and words,
no matter how slickly said, have
to make way for other words
of more serious import. How Mr..
Ingersoll tickles the fancy and leaves the
serious highway for the alley OF fiippancy
this sentence will illustrate
"God made woman out OF the rib Of
a man; or as the French would say, a
outlet. II was the best job ever accom-
plished by the amount OF raw material
used"
Everyone laughed of course, and nearly
everyone laughed at number Of other
similar sallies. The lecturer
commanded the respect OF his
hearers by his championship OF
women and children. Every father and
mother with the right to be called father
and mother was in sympathy with
him in nearly all he had to
say for little children and how they ought
to be treated. He said that love was the
greatest thing on earth, and the life OF
man or woman who loved and was loved
in return was success. The great aim of
life was TO be happy and to make others
happy. Liberty was the privilege to do as
one pleased without encroaching on the
rights of others.

STILL UNDECIDED.
New England Receiyership Case
Taken from the Local Docket.
Definite Action VIII Not BE Taken
Until Judge Wallace Has Rendered
His Decision.

The hearing on the petition Tor the APP
pointment OF permanent receiver OF tne
Rhode Island and Massachusetts, branches
OF the New York and New England Kali
road has been removed from the docket
OF the local court. The case was 10 nave
been heard tomorrow but from present
Appearances il is extremely doubtful II IL
will be called at that time.
Mr.. Marsden j. Perry, who Is acting as
one OF the temporary receivers of the road,
was seen by a News reporter. this morning.
He said that no action could
be taken in regard to the appointment
OF the local receiver for some days TO
court had original jurisdiction in the
case and it would be entirely contrary to
custom for any other court to act until he
had rendered his decision.
When the matter was brought before
Judge Wallace he took all the evidence In
the case and then held IL for further con-
sideration. He had not spoken and until
he made his appointment no other court
would interfere.
The case would be brought up in the
Boston court this morning, and would
surely be continued until Wednesday, IL
not to later date. Then Judge Colt
would be at liberty to make his appoint
ments.
Mr.. Perry was positive that the appoint
made in the local court. This was GUS
tom that had always been followed.
Judge Wallace would make his Connecti-
cut appointment in that state, and Judge
Colt would unquestionably follow the
same rule.
Clerk Pitman OF the United States Cir
cuff Court, however, stated that the
Rhode Island receiver would be appointed
at Boston today, as the case had been
transferred to the Massachusetts, docket.
When District Attorney German was
seen by the reporter he stated that the
question was one that he had never exam
ined. At first thought, however, he
was inclined to believe that Judge
Colt would appoint Rhode Island
received at any court within his jurisdic-
tion. He knew that such matters had
often been transferred out OF courtesy to
the petitioners but he did not think that
the court wss compelled to take such
action II 1t was contrary to his own de-
sires.
From what can be learned, however, ii
is expected that the hearing will be held
at Boston the latter part OF this week and
that the appointment of Rhode Island
receiver win be postponed until some later
date whcn the court will sit In Providence.

4 MOB At BRIDGEPORT
Making Things Unpleasant
for Traction Co. Officials.
MORE TROUBLE FEARED TODAY
If the Conference Does Not Settle Mat
tsrs satisfactorily, for an Attempt
VIII BE Made to Start the Cars
Again.

BRIDaEroBT, Conn, Jan. 22.--The out
come of the conference between Mayor
Bostwick and the board Of police CON-
missioners on one side and the commit
tee representing the strikers on the other
side does not indicate that the trouble be-
twsen the Traction company and their
employees are any nearer settlement.
Conductor Thompson. chairman of the
strikers committee announced that the
strikers had organized as the Bridgeport
Surface Railway association, and that
they would not new treat with tho Trac-
tion company ~ individuals, but as q
union. The wor,- OF organizing was con-
ducted by representatives of the Fedora
ticn Of Labor.
The committee refused to accept the
Traction company proposition to re-em-
ploy all but the nine ringleaders, stating
that every one of the III strikers must be
re~employed. This ultimatum will be
Given to the railway officials. IL is not
believed that the Traction company will
agree to this basis of settlement.
Mob Was Ugly.
There was another exciting scene at the
depot between , and o o'clock last even
ing. Thirty men arrived from New York
20 take the places of the strikers. The
mob of nearly 1000 people, who were ex-
pecting them, surrounded the newcomers,
who, realizing their danger, attempted TO
escape unnotioed though the crowd.
Some of them escaped with nothing
worse than few cuffs upon the head, but
Others had their clothing torn and were
seriously injured through kicks. Only
four Of them succeeded in reaching the
Traction company's depot. Nine of the
Othsv at 10 o'clock last night were fur
nishsd by the strikers with money to pay
their fares back to New York. The rest
ars too badly scared 20 put in an appear
ance.
The car which was upset and set on
fire At the corner of Main and Congress
streota yesterday afternoon still lies
upon it's side under police guard. II will
not be possible to restore 1t to fit condi-
tion for ssrSice. Traction company Off
cials are occupying the main offices under
. strong police guard, and in addition
have supply Of Winchester repeating
rides.
Threats Of Dynamite.
Every regular policeman who can be
spared 10 detailed to guard the Traction
company's property, as the report has
sprsad that quantity of illuminate and
dynamite, which was stolen from the
Metallic Cartridge company yesterday, is

the Traction company.
~About adozen men, arrested after Mayor
Bostwick read the riot act yesterday, are
held at the second precinct police station.
The militia are ready to respond at n
moments notice to stay by the mayor, as
~ 10 feared that bloodshed will certainly
follow the proposed attempt TO run the
ears.

BRIDoEPoRT, Conn.,, Jan. 22.--Excite-
msn' no act un' Sioiencs srs uaS has as yet

line the streets over which the

Tropical Railways.

Apropos Of the projected Pan-Ameri-
can Railway, it is to be noted that not
only is the first cost Of railway con-
strHetion in tropical countries very
heavy, but the annual maintenance Of
wav is expensive to q degree which
cannot be appreciated by those who
have had no experience in this connec-
ton. The Antioquia Railroad, in
Colombia, says Charles P. Yeatman in
the Engineering Magazine, cost in a
single year for repairs of track and
bridges S2266 per mile. The Cauca
Railroad, in the same year, cost $3S37
per mile. These two roads are in
Colombia. and are sometimes mem
toned either as future feeders OF the
Pan-American Railroad or parts of its
main line. On the Antioquia Road, if
the underground were cut at the be-
ginning of the rainy season, less than
two months rain was sufficient to form

leaning over the track SO as to shade 1T
