were in normal condition again. In an
Interview on the several features Of tho
strike. Mr.. Nudge said tonight:
Our business Is running normally
again. We have kept train movements
steady under the train order system.
1t has been satisfactory enough to run

block signals, as the others have not.
We are using the block signals from
Chicago to Newton again. I gave the
order for resumption this morning.

Confidence Men Steal $4,000 From
Father Grosso-on Their Way to
America.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE World
will say tomorrow:
Two clever confidence men, believed
to be Americans from descriptions FUR
nished by priest In Italy, whom they
robbed OF $4,000. 1t is thought may be
on their way to this country and the
police OF all the large cities have been
notified to watch for them.
Two well Sroomed men with polished
manners, apparently Americans, called
on Father Crosse. superior Of the So
ciety OF Jesus at the institute ut Turin,
n fortnight ago. and told him they were
trustees of rich orphan boy. whose
father had recently been killed In the
Boer war.
They said they wished to place the
boy In the priests care and have him
educated In the institute. They explain
cd that they were custodians of 100000
belonging to the boy, which they desir-
ed to leave for safe keeping in Father
Grosso's hands,
Consented to Take the Boy.
The priest consented TO assume
charge OF the boy and to accept the Gus
tody OF the funds. The men thereupon
produced several bundles OF what pur-
ported to be bank notes, which they
suggested should be placed in the safe.
Father Crosse opened the safe and the
men placed therein the bundles.
They then departed, stating they
were going TO Milan. where they had
left the boy and would return with him
shortly, Father Crosse waited several
days aud when neither tho men nor tho
boy appeared he became suspicious and
went to the safe.
He found bank notes aggrcgating
$4,000 were gone, that the bundles OF
the supposed bank notes left by the
mon We're only waste paper, Il
The men, tho police say, abstracted
the funds from the institution under
the eyes OF the priest while placing their
counterfeit bundles In the safe.
