BOTH SIDES
EXPECT
TO WIN.
Striking Tsamstsrs and Brine
Transportation Company Re-
main Firm in THAR Positions

Boston, Jan. 27.-The team drivers who
struck last week for the recognition OF
the union. and the r. S. Brine Transpor-
tation company, which is standing out
against the demands OF the men. each
entered upon the second week of the con-
test with expectations OF winning.
The men, strong I'm the knowledge that
other labor unions are In sympathy with
them, many expressions of that nature
having been formulated at meetings held
yesterday. were looking forward 10 "A
conference TO be held with Governor
Crane late this afternoon, encouraged by
the statement of the governor made on
Saturday that no would do all that he
could 20 bring about settlement.
The transportation company was build
ing its hopes on an application for a per-
manent Injunction TO restrain the men
from interfering with the work OF the
concern. which was 10 be heard in the
superior court this afternoon. a tempo
rary injunction having been granted till
that time, on Friday last.
As far as visible evidence was con-
cerned there was no change I'm the situa-
ton today. Work was begun by the
Brine companys teams at the usual hour.
but the guard OF mounted police and pa
trolmen which accompanied each from
the stable To the city and through the
streets as the day progressed, was the
same Is on last week. The force Of about
$50. including patrolmen, mounted police
and detectives were retained today and
the streets were just as thoroughly pa
trolled as at any time since the strike be-
gan.
There was some encouragement felt be-
cause Saturday passed with no serious
disturbances, and Sunday was as quiet
as usual.
The feeling was mixed with a little
anxiety on the part OF the police rs 10
the outcome of the injunction proceed
ings. II was admitted that II the iujunc-
ton was refused there would be greater
possibilities of demonstrations by strike
sympathizers on the way home from
work tonight.
The Brine company added three teams
to its force today making IL in all. Dur
ing the early hours today the police were
more idle, even than they We're on Satur-
day. The small groups which sometimes
formed to watch van passing under its
police escort were not noticed the pedes-
trians having apparently become accus-
toned to the sight
The men with the cameras who were on
duty with the Rrine companys teams on
Saturday did not appear today.

Kirk had been unemployed for a short
time, but was TO have taken a position
with Banspach Brothers this morning.
As he did not put in an appearance at
the proper time a member Of the firm
called at the house and asked for him.
A member OF the family went to Kinks
room. but received no response to his
knocks and came to the conclusion that
Kirk was not I'm the room.
Kirk being on friendly terms with
family named McQuade. who reside next
door, a call was made upon them, but
they knew nothing Of his whereabouts.
This was about $50 and a few moments
later another boarder came from his
room and detected the odor of gas in the
hallway. When he reached the lower
floor he notified Michael Conley, who is
employed at the place. and he with the
boarding house keeper went TO the upper
part of the house and opened all of the
doors.

the room was found TO be filled with gas.
Mr.. Conley rushed for one of the windows
in the room. 1t was fastened but was
finally thrown open.
The men then went TO the bedside to
awaken Kirk, but he was dead.
Medical Examiner Longfellow was call

CREATORE
THE WONDER OF THE MUSIC
WORLD.

"He does not lead his band. He
cajoles, pleads, begs, cries, entreats, com.
mands, urges, inspires and drives himself
and his men into musical frenzy that 10
almost pathological. But the man is no
charlatan nor cheater. All that he does
he does unconsciously and because he feels
it. Today ne is town talk.
In these words are given truthful and
graphic description in action of Creatore
pronounced Kray-a-to-ray) the Italian
bandmaster who has set all New York
music mad, and will appear at the New
Exposition, Pittsburg, from Wednesday,
September "a, until Saturday, October 4,
inclusive.
Creatore, is wonder, very musical,
whirlwind and cyclone, absolutely the
most startling personality the band world
has any record Of. He conducts a band Of
fifty PLAYERS, and produces effects so sensa-
tional, and cimaxes of such volcanic
power that the listener is electrified, in
voluntarily clutches his seat, and simply is
forced to "sit up" At first hearing one
il inclined to ridicule and belittle
Creatore's violent mannerisms, but little by
little the terrific earnestness and superior
musicianship of the man assert themselves,
the scoffer of a moment before becomes the
most devoted of admirers and hangs
breathlessy upon every move Of the man
who is hypnotizing his players into
breathing" the music into which he is
throwing the vigor and temperament of a
dozen men.
The New Exposition management has
not accepted Creatore upon heresay, but
has had its own representatives hear and
see him under varying conditions, and for
that reason asserts with confidence that he
will take his audience absolutely by storm.
Suburbanites will regret it all their
lives if thew fail to hear this marvellous
man and his band, not once only, but re-
peatedly. For their convenience all rail-
] roads leading into Pitsburg have made
/ preparations TO handle with ease enormous
| crowds of excursionists at the one-fare rate.
While the New Exposition music is its
great attraction, the high excellence OF the
| displays and special features must not DC
overlooked. Of exhibitors there are forty
two more than last year, and the excellent
| character of their exhibits, notably in
| Mechanical hall, have been the talk oil
| the town.
The special attractions number ten, and
one and all are of surprising excellence.
Thew are "Darkness and Dawn" direci
