tsWhile the occurrences in August
 were not the direct cause of his dis
 charge, they had bearing on 1t, be-
 cause they went to make up Barretf s

 men seems to be defective because it
 does not refer 10 this fact which had
 great influence on MT Sewell i'll de- ], ,termining his action and on the offi- Ecers of the company in supporting
 him."

Strikers Still Stand By Their Guns and By

fSiQef that report as DelnG ueciSloH binding upon us It is merely sug- gestion that the clergymen offer as possible means of getting the com pany and the strikers together The question was whether or not the union upheld Barrett and Kelly wrongfully and merely because they were mem bers of the union. When the commit tee conferred with our executive com mittee we understood their idea was to set this one point right i'll the pub- lies mind, and let the public know which side was wrong and act accord ingly. We then voted unanimously to abide by the committed decision as to whether or not Barrett and Kelly were guilty of drunkenness, as inti- mated in the public statements of the officials of the company. We were in hopes that the committee would take I determined stand with one side or the other of the parties at issue, which we were more than anxious to have them do. The report submitted, how ever, we consider simply as q sugges- ton toward conciliation, which we feel

CHANGES AT THE MINES.
Anthracite Workers Begin Under tho
 New Conditions without Hitch.

Anthracite Workers Begin Under th0
 New Conditions without Hitch.
 HAZLETON, Pa, April 2.The read justment of conditions in and about the mines as result of the findings of the strike commission, which went into ef- feet yesterday, has not been accom- : panied by any serious disagreenents thus far The mine workers feel confi- dent that all of the companies will abide by the award of the strike arbi- trators, and, while they look for slight bitches here and there, they anticipate no serious trouble.
 The principal change is the estab- iishment of an eight hour shift for fire men. At some of the collieries the force of firemen will not be increased. Instead each man will be expected to take care of a proportionately larger number of boilers than under the twelve hour schedule.
 Where the mine workers do not con- sent to the continuation of the double shift on Sundays of the engineers and pump runners bosses will be put on for the one day that the former class of employees Is idle. Quitting time at all of the collieries will be at o'clock.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

Thomas Nolan of Bank street is able to be around once more after a severe illness with pneumonia.
 The residents of this section are wondering where their friend the con- ductor who constantly smoked cigars cigarettes and pipe on his trips along the Bank street line is. He has gone to Brockton on short visit. Be fore leaving he remarked to man who happened to be at the station that he was going to Brockton, Mass for about week. A strike was expected to occur among the trolleymen there and he expected to be of some service to the trolley company. He said that if the strike didn't occur during the week, he would return to Waterbury.
 Spring time is near at hand and per- haps you expect to paint your house or do some repairs which need paint ing. Don't forget that A. c. Walker, the druggist, has complete line of painters supplies, mad his prices are right. Drop into the store and get him to give you figures. It will cost you nothing and perhaps you can save money

SMITH SAYS HE'S RICH.
At Least s2,oooooo, Says a Springfield
 Laborer.

According to the Springfield Union. Charles H. Smith of that city claims 10 De worth at least $2.OO0,0O0, and to nave large amount on deposit in the Hartrord National bank. Smith. says ne mas never had any use for theamon- ey' and has considered 1t nobody's bus mess whether he was rich or poor. Tn the meantime he has been working as day laborer and teamster.
 The story Smith tells, and he tells F now. he says. for. the love of wo- man, is that his father. Erastus Smith of this city. went with the forty-niners 10 california and made a fortune. He soon thereafter died. Smith says. as a'd hls mother. The elder Smiths cla1m or mine was afterwards sold out at an enormous figure and the money placed to the credit of the rightfuI owner in the Hartford National hank, so smith says. Smith is about 30 years old. and he says that since he has Fallen in love he has decided to make use of his great fortune. It is report ed that on the strength of his repre- sentdtiOns he has obtained credit in Springfield for several thousand dol lars worth of goods and that he has bargafned to buy $10,OO0 estate at Feeding Hills.
 Sn1ith has expressed his intention of coming to Hartford to draw enough from his alleged deposit in the Hart ford bank to pay for his farm and get 1t we'll started. It will probably be n surprise to the officers of the bank to learn that MT Smith has so large a deposit with them

MACEDONIAN REBELLION.
The Albanian Movement Considere,
 Dan@@r0ma.

The Albanian Movement Considered
 Dangerous.
 VIENNA, April 2.-The rebellion in Macedonia is considered here to have begun already, and the situation is ex- pected to become worse. The Albanian movement is regarded as specially dan gerous because the sultan will hardly dare to suppress 1t, he being surround ed by Albanian guards at the Yildiz kiosk. It is therefore thought that the reform plan will remain dead letter in Old Servia.
 The report is confirmed that M, Stcherbina, the Russian consul at Nil Irovitza, was shot in the back by Al banian soldiers. It is estimated that there are 10000 Albanians under arms, and a general rising would be extreme ly serious.
 It is stated that the king of Greece has abandoned his intended visit to the Danish court at Copenhagen on ac- count of the threatening situation in the Balkans.

ROMANCE AIRED IN CITY COURT
Beautiful Polish Girl of Good Family Tires of Her Husband. a Farmland.

Tires of Her Husband. Farmland.
 New Haven, April 2.--A Polish ro- nance involving the love, elopement and separation from her husband of q pretty girl was aired in the city court yesterday when John Wagner was tried for breach of the peace, his young wife being the complainant. Some years ago Wagner, who was an ordi- nary workman with no particular edu- cation, but with fine stature and other wise manly bearing, met Katrina So 1insIi. a beautiful girl of good family and considerable wealth.
 Tn their native village in Poland they held cfandestine meetings, Ka- trina becoming more and more enam- ored of her new found love. As her parents objected to their marrying they finally decided to elope and come to America. Eventually they settled in New Haven. Their Journey from Pc land was not all sunshine. and when want knocked repeatedly at the door love finally flew out of the window Katrina's love had waned and she longed for the happy home of her child hood again. The husband, however remained steadfast and despite the fact that his wife left him he constant ly tried to see her and their two chil- dren. The other night he went to where they lived, attempted to force his way into the house and was sub seauent1y arrested.
 After hearing some details of the case Judge Dow remarked that he knew of no law that would compel either husband or wife to live with each other against the will of one or the other He advised Wagner to keep away from his wife. and on his promise to do so he would no1le the case Wagner consented to this on condition that his wife return his pass ports. Mrs Wagner said she would do this if she could find them.

Good Sized Case Filled With Wearing
 Apparel Found on Street.


 Apparel Found on Street.
 Thomas Bolger of Court street and Harry Bergin of East Main street made strange find on East Main street last night The boys were go- ing toward the center and noticed peo- pie smile as they passed a handsome dress suit case near the corner of North Elm and East Main streets, evi- dently all taking it for some sort Of an April fool joke. Bolger and Bergin waited to see somebody pick 1t up, but everybody appeared dead on to the game and some were so "smart'' they wouldn't eveh look at 1t. Finally the boys went over and examined the case and while they had some doubts as to what 1t contained they thought 1t more than likely that there was some mistake about 1t and concluded to see what was on the inside They hesltated about opening if, fearing that there might be an electric battery in II ana that the crowd would have the laugh on them. But they opened It. anyway, and were somewhat surprised to see 1t well filled with shirts and oth- CT articles of wearing apparel, some new and more a little worn The Doys carried the case to the Democrat once. where Bolger is employed So Tar nobody has appeared to claim the property, but 1t is expected that the owner will get his eye on this article ana when he does he will not make much delay in heading for the Demo crat office.

SMITH GIRLS PIQUE FACULTY.
Antics Begin With Parody Which is
 Undignifed and Irreyerent.


 Undignided and Irreverent.
 Northampton. Mass, April 2.--Smith college is in a fever of excitement be- cause of lack of harmony between the faculty and the leading girls in the class of 1904.
 The trouble began on the college ral- ly day, February 9. A play, Every Freshman by Alice Wright of All bany, N. Y, was given. 1t was par ody of the old morality play, Every man." and sly slap at the faculty and their present examination system.
 While the play was in progress sew eral members of the faculty left the hall, saying that nothing was sacred to the girls and that they would parody the gospels next if something were not done.'
 A young woman of Cleveland, O., is responsible for another escapade that upset the faculty. Early in the year this young woman began to hand in papers in the psychology department signed Mary Duncan" name which was not her own.
 The professor scanned the name thoughtfully and concluded that he naQ IOSL MISS DuHCan , CdlA' pue he enrolled her in the college list as new pupil Miss Duncan'sr work was excellent, and the professor or psychology recommended her to the de- partment for good work. The club girls were aware of the dual personal fty of their classmate and with great show of seriousness took Mary Dun- can'' into the club.
 Then Mary carried her joke fur ther. She wrote letters begging for lock of the professors hair and a thread of his favorite blue necktie. The young professor caught on' at last and his dignity was hurt. At the Glee club concert, March IS. the club sang about Mary Duncan and the faculty have expressed dis approval of Mary Duncan" in em- phatic terms.
 Another difficulty arose from frolic in which a papier mache effigy of 8 member of the faculty was exhibited. Meantime the college girls have gone home for their Easter vacation, and hope the affair will have blown over when >they return.
