 Santiago, Chile, March 11.-Dr Man uel Barros Borgono, the eminent sur- geon and rector of the University of Santiagn Is dead.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-11


 At the meeting of the Carpenters and Joiners' union last evening the fol lowing resolutions were passed:
 Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in His infinite wisdom fo remove from our midst our brother and fellow workman, Paul Mendelssohn, be it therefore
 Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to Divine Providence; and believe that his soul is with the crea- tor in eternal rest, and we sincerely mourn his loss for his kindly disposi- tion and faithful performance of his duty, and be it further
 Resolved, That we, the members of Local 260, Carpenters and Joiners of America, in session assembled, do ex- tend to the bereayed family our heart felt sympathy at their loss of kind, loving husband and father, and to our city in the loss of an admirable citi- zen and painstaking officer, and be it further
 Resolved, That a copy of these res olutions be spread upon our minutes of our local union as lasting tribute to his memory, and that copy be sent to the family of the deceased"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-03-11

For the first time since the strike started the trolley cars ran out to SI- yer street this afternoon.
 The strikers bus line was discon- tinued this afternoon as a token of re spect to the dead police officer, Paul Mendelssohn. A delegation of the strikers attended the funeral.
 IA representative of the Democrat had a little conversation with Deputy Coroner Pond last evening about the Mendelssohn murder. The coroner was emphatic in his statement that there was not one iota of evidence brought out that would point the least suspicion against either of the trolley men.
 If one can believe all the reports that are being circulated there must be at least one hundred Pinkerton men in or around the city. There IS no doubt but that there are some Pinker- tons here and have been since the first day of the strike, and there is no doubt either but that others arrived here yes- terday, tempted by the large money reward for the capture of the murderer or murderers of Officer Mendelssohn. A reward of $1O,OOO will no doubt hur- ry several professional and private de tectives into Waterbury and for the next week or two all of us may expect to be under the watchful eyes of a whole lot of the Sherlock Holmes type of men.
 Yesterday the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go sent to Mrs Paul Mendelssohn the following letter: Mrs Paul Mendelssohn, 50 Beacon
 street, city:
 Dear Madam-Permit me to send you herewith the check of the Connec- ticut Railway and Lighting company for $50, and to inform you that the same sum will be paid to you on the first day of each month during the cur rent year and until further notice.
 For the other officers of the company and myself desire to express our ap- preciation of the high character and manly courage displayed by your late husband Curing his life and especially at the time of his much regretted death ard to offer you our sympathy in your afHictfon. If in any other way than that indicated above this company or any of its officers or employees can be of assistance to you, we hope that you will make it known to us.
 Respectfully,
 The Connecticut Railway and, Lighting
 Company.

 HUAcHUcA HINTS.
 Uncle Ike Scearce and the notorious Ben Morgan got in from Ramsey can yon yesterday evening.
 Ben. is trying to recover from e results of robbing a bee tree in Ram sey canyon about four days ago.
 He located his tree, built up the tra. iional "smudge" and proceeded to fall the tree. The particular colo ny Of Lees which happened to be ten eting that tree at that particular time. were of the specific variety as the back Italian, they are scrappers from the bad lands, and are aiU avs looking for a job. When that tree fell, 1t lodged across the smudge extnguish- ing it effectuallv. at the same time bursting open, exposing bundle of those same warlike bees. which bun de exploded like a bomb shell, and the private members thereof gathered in Ben's murky locks and made him hard to catch. The fact is Ben nev- CT was caught till he brought up in Bisbee where he had about sixty stingers extracted and the balm of witch hazel spread over his swollen scalp.
 Ramsey Canon is the bear hunters paradise in winter and the rest hunt CTS paradise in summer. MT Scearce lives conveniently close to Andy Yeager, who has a brewery, then comes the box. and above that are mines owned by John Mitchell, Harry Stoddard. Joe ElIswirth, MT. Fowler, MT. J. w Burner, Johnny Kane, MT. Castle and others
 These gentlemen all have nice prospects. and the success whicA shortly awaits the operations of the Exposed Reef under its new manage rnent. will rebound immensely to their benefits.

galleys, or kitchens, for all three class

equipped III the most approved modern
style. In the first and second class
quarters the floors of the corridors, sa-
looms and smoking rooms are laid with
patent rubber flooring, which is not
only decorative, but prevents Slipping
or noise, a great desideratum on board
ship. The Cedric" is we'll provided
with such essentials as music, electric
light electric bells, etc, and the cui-
sine, as in all White Star ships, is an
object of special care. Many will be in
terested to learn that numbers of the
shell plates of the Cedric" and Gel
tic" weighed as much as three tons
each, and some of the bigger pieces of
the ship, such as the stern frame, over
fifty tons each. The launching weights
of these vessels far exceed that of any
thing ever before produced, being A.
257 tons. The lightweight carrying ca
pacity of the Cedric" is Is, 400 tons. In
external appearance the Cedric" diff
fers little from her sister ship. 1t is
difficult for the eye accustomed to these
monsters of the deep to realize the full
sinif1cance of her dimensions. One
needs to see along side her one of the
giants of fifteen or twenty years ago to
realize how great a stride has been
made in size alone during the interval.
An unusually large number of third
class passengers is provided for on the
upper, middle and lower decks, some

Without resting he worked his way
up until he stood on top of the statues
head, holding with one hand to the arm
of the craven goddess. After that he
circled the figures head with his arms
and threw his feet into the air. This
was the climax to the performance and
he was heartily cheered. Before start
ing down he repeated this part Of his
act and tossed his feet into the ethe-
real regions with as much nonchaianee
as the average man would bangle his
pedal extrenitieS over the side OF a
wharf.
While ''steeple jack was cavorting
around on top of the statue it was no.
ticed that the figure was seen to sway
back and forth several times as il only
slightly balanced on it's pedestal. The
daring little climber merely made sport
of this and rocked the statue just to
show his interested audience that he
didn't mind little thing like that. For
the once every one expected 10 see the
foreboding looking gordess topple over
ground.
After doing a few other careless
feats, Ramsauer descended from his
giddy perch and, in a few brief min
utes, ducked into an open windaw on
ledge running at the base Of the dome
| and disappeared from view. Then the
spectators departed for home, all talk

The performance lasted about twenty
minutes.
"steeple Jack" is from the north, and
during his career as climber has
mounted many church steeples and

cult to climb than the capital statue.

STOOD ON HIS HEAD ON STATUE
"Steeple Jack" Did Stunts on Top of

"Steeple Jack" Did Stunts on Top of
the Figure on the Capitol.
A great concourse of people sur
rounded the capitol yesterday afternoon
about one o'clock, and, with open
mouths and watery eyes-the latter
caused by the great glare in the heav-
ens-watched the antics of ."Steeple
Jack" who, after mounting to the top
of the statue that surmounts the state
house building, stood upon his head on
the chanium of the sedate looking God
dess Of Liberty.
W. F. Ramsauer is the name Of the
daring young fellow who did stunts in
midair, and he was the hero of many
hundreds of small boys who were early
on the scene, attracted by the an
nouncement, made several days ago by
''Steeple Jack" to the effect that he
would give an open air performance in
scaling dizzy heights.
Promptly on the hour he made his ap-
pearance on the top of the capitol build
ing. Long before that time fully a
thousand men, women and children
thronged the streets about the capitol
building, and when Ramsauer stepped
out on the ledge he was greeted with a
tremendous cheer. He responded by
waving his hand and, after fixing some
tackle for several painters who are at
work on the building, he signif1ed his
intention to make the 1cscent Of the big
dome from the Capitol place side.
AS soon as he waved his hand in that
direction everybody made dash to
gain a point of vantage from which to
view the thrilling sight. rope had
been stretched from the balcony at the
base of the smaller dome on which the
statue rested, and catching hold of this
the intrepid climber started upward at
lively clip. He appeared to be walk
ing right up the side Of the dome go
ing up the rope hand over hand like a
sailor.
This act was also greeted with a great
outburst of cheers from the multitude.
From the circular balcony that runs
around the top of the dome to the base
of the statue he made his way in a
painters swinging seat. Then he went
around to the front of the Goddess of
Liberty, which faces Washington
street, where he stood for few mo-
ments as If taking good lang breath
/ before starting on the last stretch OF
his climb.
A rope had been thrown over the
statue, one end being fastened to q
point on the Capitol place side of the
figure and passing over the right shout,

Recovery of metropolitan ON Failure of
Combination of Rumors.


New York, Feb. 2O.-The failure of
confirmation Of the rumors concerning
the Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany circulated yesterday led to a
prompt recovery of prices Of stocks this
morning Thede NAL of w. c. Whitney
that he had sold any of the stock with
insi months convinced the operators
that yesterdays market had been sub
jected to raid by the dissemination of
inventions. The short sellers of yester-
rally. The recovery in Metropolitan
StreetR ailway was especially eInphat
ic. The renewed advance in Amalga-
mated Copper also pointed to some I'M
covered short interest. This stock was
helped by the strength of the metal
market, which was marked in London.
1t was notable also that the recovery
In futures there exceeded that for spot
copper, establishing premium again
for futures as compared with discount
for some time past. New York Central
seemed to feel the benefit of the addi-
tional subway projects for New York
and also the authorized denial of recent
rumors that the company was selling
treasury stock in the market against a
future issue. But the feature of the
early market was the St. Louis and San
Francisco stocks. The common rose 4,
the first preferred 5&, the second pre-
ferred 43s, and Kansas City, Fort Scott
and Memphis pfd. Us. The funding
bonds were also in demand at advanc~
ing prices Many reports have been
circulated recently about a coming COM
bination Of this property with some
other large railroad system, the most
recent story pointing to Southern Rail-
way. Nothing authentic as to the prop
erty was disclosed during the day. In
the afternoon the Wabash stocks came
into prominence, the preferred advanc-
ing "a after an announcement that
wages had been advanced on the sys-
TEN west of the Mississippi river. It
seemed to be assumed that this would
prevent the strike which has been
dreaded recently. Other Gould stocks
and Southwesterns generally advanced
in sympathy. Missouri Pacific was also
helped by an increase in December net
earnings. The advance in refined sugars
helped American Sugar and special de-
velopments were responsible for adj
vances in other individual stocks. The
market closed quite active and at about
the best. There seemed to be general
conviction that to-morrow's bank state
ment will be poor one. The move
ment Of currency has been away from
New York especially to New Orleans
so that a net loss in cash Of nearly 3d.
100000 is indicated on the known move
ments Of money. Time money continued
to advance and the reaction In sterling
at Paris made the export of gold next
week more probable.
The bond market was irregular. To-
tai sales par value, $2,S25, 900.
