A QUIET SUNDAY.
Iittie Disturbance Noted in the City o,
Churches.

Churches.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 2S.-Sunday was a
day of comparative quiet here. The
troops were ready for any gatherings
of rioters that might be reported, but
were not ordered out in any numbers.
In various outlying places as well as
on many built-up streets wire-cutting
and stone-throwing was indulged in,
and a number of arrests were made.
The Greenpoint cars lost many panes
of glass, and the cross-town were run
to South Brooklyn and the Erie basin
district
The strikers are quiet and peaceful
and advocate moderation in all cases,
They do not congregate in crowds, and
the men are keeping well within
bounds. The consensus of opinion
among them is that firm front and
steadfast position on their part will
win the fight.
A mass-meeting of citizens, called in
the interest of the striking employees
of the trolley roads, was held at the
Athaeneum Sunday evening. Henry
George, Congressman Jerry Simpson
and Joseph r. Buchanan were the
speakers. Red-hot language was in.
dulged in and resolutions calling upon
the attorney general to take action
against the railroad companies were
adopted.
Starvation already confronts many
0f the families of the strikers. The
men were not well equipped financial
ly when they decided to stop work, and
the bulk of their funds has been used
for the transportation of non-union
men to cities whence they came to re-
place the strikers. This alone has
cost the strikers many thousands
of dollars. Storekeepers have been
very considerate, but now that they
see that the strikers are being re.
placed by men from other cities they
are loath to give credit, and the wives
and children of the men out of work
are going hungry. Landlords, too, dc
not enter into the merits of the situa'
tion between the strikers and the com
panies, and promises to pay when the
strike is ended do not cut much figure
with them. The demands for food and
for rent have crippled the resources OF
the strikers and many of them are in
sore straits.
Judge Gaynor handed down his de-
cision in the application for a writ OF
mandamus to compel the trolley com
panies to operate their lines Saturday
From the judges expressions il
his decision on Thursday in set
ting the time for hearing a:
to the kind of writ to issue, the
general conclusion was that the
writ would be a peremptory one. Thi,
would compel the officers of the
roads to operate all lines at once
or be in contempt of court. The
judge heard argument on Friday
and Saturday issued an alternativ,
writ of mandamus. This allows the
officers of the lines twenty days to an
swer and the questions of fact as tx
whether they have exercised their bes
endeavors to operate their lines may bt
tried before judge or before a jury.

DEBS' TRIAL.
Evidence to Prove Conspiracy Shows Up
Rather Weak.

Evidence to Prove Conspiracy Shows Up
Rather Weak.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-In the Debs trial
yesterday Attorney Walker, for the
government, read the editorials of the
Railway Times, the organ of the Amer
lean Railway union, issued during June
and July last, and attempted to show
that through this channel Debs and his
associates endeavored to influence, en-
courage and incite the members of the
order to conspiracy and deeds of vio-
lence. Counsel for the defense objected
to the testimony as irrelevant and in
competent. The court ruled that the
testimony would not be accepted as
evidence against the defendants, but
only as hearsay evidence.
The principal witness called by the
government was o. w. Myron, who
occupied the stand for two hours At
the time of the strike Myron was an
Illinois Central switchman and took an
active part in organizing branches of
the A. R. u. among the yardmen of the
Illinois Central and other roads.
In reply to Mr.. Walkers cross exam
ination he testified that on June &c he
received an order signed by Debs, un-
der the seal of the A. R. u. instructing
him to call out the Illinois Central men.
c. S. Darrow, for the defense, argued
that, as the witness had testified that
after receiving the order he had acted
on his own responsibility and did not
report to the directors, the latter could
in no way be held responsible for the
witness actions. The matter was tak-
en- under adyisement

TREATMENT OF THE CONNECTS.

The Talladega Reporter accused the State of great inhumanity toward it's convicts, and of permitting them to be over.worked and neglected, and charged that when they scken at the mines they are hurried to the penitentiary to die and thus reduce the apparent mortality at the mines.
 The Ashville Agis, whose editor, Mir. Gather, is on the Board of Convict Mana gers, replies to the above charge. He says that there has been an epidemic at Coal burg which bAftied the skill of those sent there to investigate, but that has now sub sided. He adds:
 It may be possible that the inspectors failed in reporting the true condition of the convicts at the mines, as it was their duty to do to the managers, but no such fact was made known. Tbe managers of Pratt mines appear to be gentlemen of reasonable intelli- gence who would know that the profit from mining of any kind of labor would be en- hanced by the fair treatment of the latter rather than by its mistreatment. It may be said of the Pratt mine managers that they showed every respe ct to orders of the board and every disposition to comply withthe law in their treatment of convicts; and tho reports of the inspectors were never uDfavorable to the treatment of convicts at that mine. The convict labor leased out for farm work suffered, if reports wero true. But tho board corrected the evil by revokjDg the contracts where it existed The '.inhumapity' of the State arose from different quarter-a dispo- sition on the part of he State to absorb the fund arising from convict labor in the mines for other state purposes at the expense of such means and improvement AS was essential to the welfare and health of the convicts un- der tho immediate control of the State. This was one of the first abIses corrected by the board. Right at this point grows out all the trouble about the convict management-the State wants tho convict fund for other lur- poses than the existing law appropriates it for. A returE to the old grievances seems in- eyitabe al this time, but look out for the re- suit.

LIKE A SIEVE.

The chief function of the kidneys is to separate from the blood, in its passage through them, of certain impurities and watery particles which make their final exit through the bladder. The retention of these, in consequence of inactivity of the kidneys, is productive of Bright's disease, dropsy, diabetes, albuminuria and other. maladies with a fatal tendency. Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters, a highly sanctioned diuretic and blood depurent, impels the kidneys when inactive to renew their sift. ing function, and strain from the vital current impurities which infest it and threaten their own existence as organs of the body. Cstarrh of the bladder, gravel and retention of the urine are also maladies arrested or averted by this benign promo- ter and restorative of organic action. Ma laria, rheumatism, constipation, bilious ness and dyspepsia also yield to the Bitters, which is also speedily beneficial to the weak and nervous.

INGERsoLL's lecture in Atlanta on Shakespeare contained the following elo- quent passage: 'Shakespeare was an in- telectuai ocean whose waves touched all the shore, of thought; within whose bosom were all the tides and waves of destiny and will; over which swept all the storms of fate, ambition and revenge; upon which fell the gloom and darkness of despair and death and all the sunlight of content and love; an intellectual ocean towards which all rivers run and from which now the isles and continents of thought receive their dew and rain.'

The Czar himself seems to be liberal minded man, but he was forced to his declaration by the Rus- sian nobles.
