WEAvERS AT WORK.
Most Of Them Are at 0lneyviIe These
Days.
Red Sashes and lnflammatory Remarks
No Longer Interfere With Labor.

It Is generally concsd ID outside of the
strike committee that nearly all OF he At
lantic weavers in the place are at work.
This does not mean that all the looms in
this big concern are in operation again,
for IL must be remem bered that a large
number of hands sought work in other
places when the strike first occurred and
have not returned to their old positions,
which await their arrival IL they return
within a reasonable time. The manage
ment realizes that those who went else
where for employment were, in majority
OF instances, in no ways connected with
the labor troubles here.
While the strike has not been formally
declared off in any OF the mills in Olney-
vile, the factories are running with nearly
a full complement of operatives, with the
exception of the Atlantic and Fletcher
mills.

ANOTHER RUNAWAY.
Not So Bad as the Jenkins Street AZ
fair But IL Looked Serious.

Another big runaway and narrow es-
cape occurred on Charles street about 3
O'Clock this morning. A large furniture
wagon belonging to the Anthony & Co
well Company, drawn by span of hand
some gray horses, had been left standing
somewhere above the bridge, and the hor-
ses took fright and rushed frantically
down toward Nichols street. BY the
time that point was reached they had
great headway and the demolition OF DIR.
Bartlett's horse and buggy and milk
wagon seemed imminent. As luck
would have it, however, the horses
swayed to one side and colllided with
brick wagon. One of the runaways fell
and the driver of the brick wagon
grabbed the other and stopped them. IL
they had reached the narrow portion OF
Charles street, just below, there Is no
telling what serious consequence might
have had resulted. The petitioners for
the widening OF Charles street feel that
they have now an added argument in
their favor.

SHOT IN THE STREET.
Desperate Quarrel Between Two Men
Terminated Fatally.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 1S.-At Bes-
mer, Ala, Bert Rocket, former clerk,
called at the wholesale liquor store of AL
bert Benson and demanded back salary
which he said Benson owed him. A
quarrel follwed, resulting in Rocket
drawing a big iack-knife and driving
Benson from his own store. Benson told
him he would see him again. Later, the
men met on the most prominent street in
the town, and renewed their quarrel.
Rocket suggested that they fight it out
and asked Benson il he was armed. Ben
son said he was ready and both drew
pistols and began firing. They emptied
their revolvers, after which Benson pro-
posed to finish the fight with their fists.
AS Rocket stepped forward, he fell dead,
having been shot just below the heart
Benson, who was unhurt, was arrested.

RECKLESS DRIVING.
A Man, Intoxicated, Thrown From
His Buggy and Killed.

DERBY, Conn.,, June 1S.-Austin Harris,
a wealthy carter of Shelton, broke his
neck shortly before midnight last night
and died in a few moments. Harris
drove from New Haven in top buggy
with a span of horses. He was naturally
a reckless driver and was more so than
usual last night, owing to a free indui-
gence in liquor at a lower Derby saloon,
where he stayed for half an hour
before driving to his home. Two COM
panions watched him drive away from the
saloon at terrific pace, and when oppo-
site the Naugatuck road depot suddenly
saw the horses swervo and the buggy run
into telegraph pole. Harris was thrown
out, and when the men picked him up a
few minutes later, he was dead, his neck
being broken at the base of the skull.
Harris was born in Milford, Mass, and
came to Derby ID years ago. He was 81
years Of age, and leaves a widow and one
child.

ONLY A BAG OF FISH.
But the Detectives Went to Investi-
gate Foul Murder.

Yesterday afternoon, a young man flew
into the palatial office OF Chief Inspector
Patrick Parker, in the city hail. aud told
him that a child had been murdered. At
the time Mr.. Parker was surrounded by
his assistant inspectors, who, when they
heard the word murder mentioned, were
ready and eager for the word TO start.
Mr.. Parker asked the young man where
it happened. BY this time, the young
man in question had got his second
wind, and told the truth, and, as he sup
posed, nothing but the truth.
The informer said that the child had
been thrown down the elevator well in
the large building occupied by J. A. q
II. A. Reid, at the foot of Pine street.
" hen the officers arrived at the building,
the elevator was in motion. The young
man in charge was somewhat astonished,
or perhaps frightened, when one of the
inspectors, in cool, harsh and cruel
voice, cried, "stop that elevator" The
elevator boy knew who was talking to
him, but was not aware of the fact that
the remains of an innocent baby lay cold
in death at the bottom OF the well, but
the detective did, and that was sufficient.
When the officers got possession OF the
elevator, Mr.. Parker got a portion of his
men to go on the outside OF the building,
and TO guard each door and allow no one
to go out. Then one of the inspectors,
went to the edge Of the well on the lower
floor, and looked down into il, but was
driven back by most frightful odor.
Then they were sure that some atrocious
deed had been committed. The inspector
possessing the most sailor-like ways was
delegated to shin down the we'll When
he reached the bottom, he found a bag
which contained the remains.
The man with the bag was assisted from
the well by Mr.. Parker, and an investiga-
tion was begun. Tenderly and carefully
the bag was opened. IL contained lot
OF old fiat fish that some of the workmen
had forgotten to take home. The detec-
tives had saved lots of trouble for the
hoo of health

made into kindling wood and its contents OF

TO the four winds OF heaven. The wagon,

Chemical Works. and was standing in front of
the little variety store on Camp street, near
Jenkins, while the driver was within taking
orders. Something startled the horses, and
without warning they dashed down Jenkins
street into North Main street. Directly OPP

grocery store and the maddened horses, un'
able 10 sec where they were going, or to turn
TO right or left, dashed hoadlong into the store

through tho window with such velocity that
its neck was broken and the horse fell back
on the sidewalk dead. The other horse was
more fortunate and entered the door, thereby
causing great havoc To Nr. Amans stock in

marvellous, for several persons were passing
along North Main street at that point when
they heard the racket and escaped by a hairs

MISERABLE SURROUNDINGS.
A Nest Of Iniquity Discovered at 202
Gladstone Avenue.

Chalkstone Avenue.
The arrest OF Rose Jordan, Josephine
Burke and Ellen McManus at 292 Chalk
stone avenue, Sunday afternoon, was pecu-
liar and interesting, and investigation
reveals a nest of inquity, which Is
blight upon our fair city, according to
the police. 1t seems that about 80 p. m,
an old woman notified officer Giifoil that
there were some Objectionable men in her
house and, although the policeman did
not take much stock in her, he walked
up that way to investigate. In the kitchen
were four drunken men, three white and
one colored. In one bedroom were Jose
phine and Ellen, both intoxicated. In
another bedroom, was fat Rose Jordan,
in such state of stupor that she would
not know what was going on anyway.
Officer Gilfoil went after officer Pointer,
and then beagn an investigation. 1t was
presumed that the liquor which intoxi-
Gated the party was furnished and sold
by an Italian lodger, Michael Angelo.
He had paddock on his room door, and
only after severe urging and protestations
of "me no sell, - could he be induced to
open up. In his room were Is empty
lager beer bottles, six full ones and jug
with rum in it. OF course, it could not
be proven that he sold the liquor, sO he
was not arrested. The men in the house
promised to be good, and were sent home.
The women were in court yesterday morn
ing. Rose was sent to the State farm for
two years. She is well acquainted with
the farm, having been there many time
before. The other two paid y and costs
each for drunkenness.
Mrs. McManus' husband, Hugh, is serv-
ing time for stealing 20 gold sovereigns
from Rosy Mcnamara a short time ago.
Edward Kingsley, who recently paid $40
and costs for assault, lived in this house,
and so did Julia Masterson, who was
arrested Saturday night for reveling and
drunkenness.
Altogether, the police give 292 pretty

Spencer jumped for the horses head. and with
much difficulty held il TO the floor. The phosa
bottles followed the horse into the store, and
many Of them were smashed. The store door
was unhung and all tho nearby glass was
broken. Five tubs Of pickles. lot Of garden
seeds, canned goods and other stock were pro-

horses turn up or down North Main street

years ago one was headed for the store, but

ONE FOOD FOR BABY.
June Heat Must Not Weaken
Baby's Stomach.
Strength an Absolute Necessity
During the Summer.
Safety Lies in lactated Food and
Perfect Cleanliness.

No mother needs to be told of all the
babies that die before they reach the age
of five. 1t is one OF the solemn verities
that just now is bringing anxiety to so
many homes and to mothers, an agony of
dread that they dare not confess even to
themselves.
Yet it is certain that today by the exer-
else OF care in securing the proper nour-
ishing diet and absolute cleanliness, warm
weather is in countless households robbed
of its perils and made as beautiful for the
little ones as for those of msturer years.
In homes wherever lactated food is used
no form of diarrhBal disease enters. This
is noteworthy fact. The reason 10 that
this highly nutritious, predigested and
palatsble food is the most perfect substi-
tute for pure mothers milk. 1t Is easily
assimilated by the infant stomach. II
keeps up the little ones strength, aud as
it contains not particle of impurity,
these two great causes OF cholera in nfantum
and diarrhea are absolutely y. avoided.
The lamentable jump In the infant
death rate at the first advent of warm
weather is traceable TO wholly preventive
causes.
All diarrheal diseases, whether cholera
infantum, dinrrhpa or summer complaint,
are preventable in infants by diet OF
lactated food. Physicians emphatically
say so.
High temperature alone cannot breed
these disorders. Ii simply weakens the
child's digestion and allows diarrhoea o
enter as soon as the little one Is overfed
and its digestive system burdened by q
poorly nourisbed diet. The first signs of
looseness or apparent loss OF strength are
critical times in every baby's existence.
Lactated food has saved countless little
ones in such extremities.
When teething, and during hot weather,
when babies are most capricious in their
appetite, they take lactated food with
relish when nothing else wilftempt them.
Physicians, it will be found, feed their
own children on lactated food. The fact
known to physicians from the start, that
lactated food was prepared under the per-
| sonal supervision of no less a man than
| Professor DIR. Boynton Of Vermont Uni
versity, gave 1t immediate standing among
practitioners.

Thursday evening last, Dugan and silly
perry Worcester chap, by the name 81
Blanchard, stole the horse from Mr..
Howlett's pasture. They cut of portion

Terrible Experience Of a Man
and Woman.
Man Fatally Hurt While Bravely At
tempting to Rescue Her.

CLEVELAND, o., June 1S.-People pass
ing along Ontario street last night were
startled by the piercing shrieks of
woman, which came from the roof OF q
restaurant known as the New Wright
House.
Looking in the direction from which
the cries came they saw woman en-
tangled in the telephone and electric light
wires, 40 feet above the ground. Her
clothing was on fire, and she was loudly
calling for help. Several men
the roof. Thomas Bell ascended
by the fire escape. Bell reached the terri
fled woman as soon as the other men, and
together they rescued her from her peril
Gus predicament. just as they, had sue
ceeded in freeing her, Bell caught hold OF
one Of the wires with his hands. In an
instant he was writhing with pain. Some
one had the presence of mind to cut the
wire, but that did not save Bell. He fell
head downward TO the fire escape, a coil
of wire being about his hips and holding
him suspended in the air. He screamed
for help, and for q time it seemed as il he
would be burned to death. He was fin
ally released and, with the woman, sent
to a hospital. The latter, whose name is
Edith johnson, a waitress in the restsur-
ant, will die, her arms and legs being
burned to crisp, but Bell, though badly
burned, will recover. The woman had
gone 20 the roof to see fire which was
burning q block away. She leaned over
the roof to get better view and in doing
so grasped an electric wire with her hands.
