CLUBS ENDING THE STRIKE.
POLICE ACTIVITr REPREssEs ITAL-
ILES AT JEROME PARK.

Several Hundred strikers Have Already
Returned to Work - Dumping Trains
Run Regularly and the Contractor
Thinks the Trouble Ia Practically over.
The strike at the jerome Park reservoir.
which began on Monday. when 1900 Italian
laborers quit work on the refusal of the con-
tractor to raise their wages from 81 % to 81 30
a day. practically collapsed yesterday. nearly
half Of the strikers returning to work. Owing
to efficient police protection they were not
molested. and the strikers. unable to keen
them idle. apparently lost heart. There were
between hve and six hundred men still out last
night. Contractor Mcdonald said. but he had
received nformatio from some Of his trusted
men that nearly all OF these would return TO
work to-day.
The belligerent attitude assumed by the
strikers on Monday was greatly modified yes
terday owing to the presence at the reservoir
all day of 100 policemen in charge OF Capt.
Schmittberger Several small collisions be-
tween the police and strikers occurred. hut the
day passed much, more peacefully than had
been expected. The threat to stop the dump
ing trains was not carried out.

deavor to bring about nm adjustment of their
troubles. Tho strikers refused to listen to
him. and soon became so bOisterous that a
squad OF police had to dispense them with their
clubs.
Another crowd OF strikers gathered on the
aqueduct near the old Polo clubhouse an
hour later. There were no guards there so
Can't. Schmittbcrger. with another policeman,
drove over to dispense the men. He found
them endeavoring to stop others from
going to, work IN the excavation. and
ordered them to dispense. They refused.
and he Jumped from his buggy and sailed
in among them with his club. A squad Of
policemen speedily arrived to help him. and the
strikers were dubbed freely until they scat
tered for their shanties. Policeman Johnston.
who entered one Of these. was met by a woman
who attacked him with n shovel. She was sub
dued. and the police then took the shovels and
other tools away from all the men they could
reach.
Contractor Mcdonald got the first train start
ed to the dump at ABOUT q O'Clock In the morn
ing. Policemen were stationed all along the
track. The strikers watched sullenly. but the
train reached East Chester safely. After that
the trains were run regularly.
The skilled workmen who run the drills and
engines were not interfsred with.
Only about thirty policemen were on guard
Mt the scene of the trouble last night. Here
and there throughout the village the strikers
gathered in small groups. but the police kent
them moving on. Mr.. Mcdonald believes that
to-day will end tho trouble.

GRANDPA THEIRS CLOCES.
As They Are Made Sowadays. with Modern

There were made in old times some fine
grandfathers clocks with musical attachment

a separate movement and made TO play al the
hours. Such clocks som etimes come in to be
repaired. but they could scarcely be as musical
as the modern grandfather'S clock. equipped
as it ia with a set Of chimes. The modern clocks
are made in many styles. chiefly. however. IN
colonial and other old designs. There are used
for the chimestubular bells. whose form adapts
them perfectly to the space at command within
the clocks tall case. The quarter. the half
hour. the three-Ouarters aud the full hour are
marKed most unsteady on these chimes with
one. two. three and four rounds respectively
and then comes the hour. struck on another
bell. the most musical Of all. with a sound like
that Of some deep-toned hell far away.
Such clocks are sold as articles OF hall .furni-
tura and for their timekeeping qualities as
well. for use in both city and country houses.
