 TWENTY-THREE SURVIVORS.
From French Fishing Brig Brought

From French Fishing Brig Brought
 in By Steamer Phoebus To-day.
 Nav York. May 6.-Twenty-three survivors of the crew of 70 or the French fishing brig Ile-deSTerre -Neuye of St Servean, France, reaehed heIe to-day on the German-A American pc hsoleilm company's steamer Phoebus, captain Schierhorst, from Hamburg The IIe-de-T -Terre-Neuve was swept by a hurricane April 26 and seven of her men washed overheard. Of these four were rescued and three drowned. On the 29th the wreck was sighted by the Phoabus and the survivors were tax en on board the steamer with much Sifiiculty The brig was set on fire.
 Captain Schierhorst of the Phoebus says that at o'clock of the morning of April % flare of light was sight ed dead ahead, a signal of distress. The Phoebus bore down and found the French Vessel listed heavily to port and rolling frightfully with the seas washing over her. The situation of her crew appeared very dangerous. They were seen grouped on the after part of the vessel. On account of darkness and the strong wind blowing with heavy squalls of rain, the Phoe- bus could not get near enough to speak to the strangers. The starboard lifeboat was manned and after consid- erable difficulty brought under the stern of the wreck. A line was passed to her. The crew was huddled togeth- CT and some jumped into the sea and were hauled one after the other into inc boat and brought to the steamer Four trips were made by the steam er's boat. The brig's captain left his vessel last, setting fire to her before he went over the side. The work of the boats crew which saved the wrecked seamen was hazardous and elicited much praise The brig was bound for the Newfoundland fishing banks Captain Corbinais of the brig said he sailed from St Servean April 9, and that on the 26th they experienced d hurricane which dismasted the vessel, Swept the thirteen boats overheard, smashed the bulwarks and hove the brig down on her beam ends. The three seamen lost by being swept over board were Seamen Thereseien, H. Iemerric and Oliver. The wreck ralled terribly and frequently the main hatch was half under water and at times it was feared she would roll bottom up. On April 2S at 9 o'clock at night large steamer passed and re- piled to distress signals, but on ac- count Of the heavy gale was obliged to proceed. When the wreck was aban- doned she had six feet of water in the hold. The Isle-de-Torre- Neuye was about 30 years old and 127 tons bur- den. The wreck was abandoned in latitude 4T.07, longitude 35.

STRIKERS DAILY STATEMENT
News From Pittsburg Says Wa

The Statement Tells How Union Was
 Deceived by Jay Wood--It Also Has
 Something to Say About Bribery and
 Intimates That It Has Some More in

 The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 "This is the 116th day of the strike, and, despite the assertions told about in yesterdays statement, we are still doing business at the old stand and fighting sturdily for our rights.
 'One of the out-of-town strike-b break CTS informs US that the company is not going to have a cinch over taking in traitors to our cause. He says that if any of those deserters are given posi- tions higher than any of the strike breakers, then the whole gang of out of-town men will pick up their traps and depart. If this is true 1t means that our former colleagues will have to start in as extra men and buck the list which in trolley talk means take their chances of getting regular runs Despite interviews of the company $ officials to the effect that more of our men were going to go back on the
 union and return to work for the com pany, we can find no indication of any truth in them.

OFFICER sULL1vAN's PASS.
He Must See Manager Sewell to Have
 It Renewed.

Police Officer Michael Sullivan has been refused renewal of his free pass book on the trolley cars by the trolley company. A day or two ago Officer Sullivan presented the cover of his book, all of the tickets of which had been used, for renewal at the of- flee of the trolley company on Bank street, as is the usual custom. Much surprised was he when he was told that the book couldn't be renewed un- til he had seen General Manager Sew ell. Of course the police are allowed to ride on the cars ell. 1t is said that other police officers will receive the same treatment as Of ficer Sullivan, for it is said that the officials of the trolley company are much aggrieved because various mem bers of the police department remain ed off the cars during the strike until few weeks ago. Of course the po- lice are allowed to ride on the cars without tickets or free passes when they are in uniform. The free passes are good when they are not in uni. form.

Socialist Economist Mills Has
 Something to Say.
MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION

Would Destroy Trade Unions, He Says
 After Complete Control of State
 for Benefit of Employers-One of
 These Days, He Says, Working
 man Will Be President.
 New York, May 6.-At meeting held under the auspices of the Social ist Literary society, Walter Thomas Mills of Kansas City, principal of the international School of Social Econo- my, speaking on 'sThe Manufacturers Association vs the Trade Unions," de- clared the Workingmen would never be able to resist the power of the Man ufacturers' association by strike and boycott. It boasted that it would go to Washington, and the workingman would have to go there, too. If the New York workingmen, however, would vote for themselves at home they would not have to send any lob byists to Washington. One Of these days a workingman would be pres1- dent and they would have their own mayor and governor. MT Mills con- tinued:
 ssThe Manufacturers association has come none too soon. It represents, as 1t claims to do, the greatest combina- tion of employers the world has ever known It is pledged to the destrue- tion of the power of trade unions, ana to the complete control of the powers of the state for the private benefit of tue employers of labor. It boasts that It Is open and defiant, secret when that method is most effective, and al all times relentless in its warfare.
 "The Manufacturers association claims to favor the liberty of the lndl- yidual worker, but the fact is that tne worker is utterly without economic ho- erty, except as secured by his organl- ration and in spite of-not with the help of-his employer. It claims 10 object to coercion, but 1t uses the courts, the police force and the mli1tla, and has revised the military laws or the nation for the sole purpose of de. E etroying the peacable organization of fhe workers by force, and by force alone"

BRAKEMAN TO BLAME.
For the Death of William Cavanaugh
 at South Norwalk.

at South Norwalk.
 Bridgeport, May 6.-Coroner Doten this morning found that William Cava- naugh who was killed by the cars at South 'Norwalk last Saturday, met his death in an accident caused by the criminal carelessness of Dennis Dowd, the rear end brakeman of the freight train which backed into a passenger train at South Norwalk. The finding was promptly reported to Prosecuting Attorney Tammany of South Norwalk, who promptly issued a warrant for the arrest of Dowd on the charge of man. slaughter. Dowd appeared before the coroner and denied emphatically that he had given any back up signal but he was contradicted by all the trainmen on the freight, by a tele- graph operator and the lever man. Dowd resides at BPS West Portsea street, New Haven. He has been a brakeman about six weeks.

 Dragging the Chain Out of the Mans

 Cedar Grove, N. J., May 6.-Need1ng a temporary hitching place for COW, James Stein of this place made use of an electric light pole, intending then to drive a stake in the ground to hold the cows tether chain. ...
 The pole had lightning arrester and had wire running from 1t to the ground. The pole was charged with electricity and the chain carried a shock to Stein which hurled him seven feet. The COW, shocked at the same time, jumped and jerked the chain out of Stein's hand. This probably saved his life.
 He had large bulldog with him and the dogs chain touched the cows chain. So the dog in that manner was shocked. "&.

STRIKE BREAKER ARRESTED.
Was on a Train Just About to Leave
 the Naugatuck Station.


 Was on Train Just About to Leave
 the Naugatuck Station.
 William Young, one of the strike breakers who was discharged from the company's employ, was arrested by Detective Kennaugh this afternoon on the train which leaves the Naugatuck depot for New Haven at 1:3O. The train was about to pull out when the arrest was made. Young is wanted by the Naugatuck police on charge of breach of the. peace. Last Sunday Young is said to have called Thomas Dolan of Union City vile names and uttered threats against him while the car was standing near a switch in Union City. Dolan complained to a police officer and was advised to have a warrant sworn out for his arrest. He followed the advice. Earlier in the day Young had an altercation with two Waterbury young men at Boulder grove. Before Sunday Young is said 10 have made himself obnoxious to Dolan and some other young men in Union City at various times, calling them names and doing other things. Young was one of the strike-breakers who testified against Omcer Mansfield at the hearing of the charges against that officer before the board of public safety on Monday night. He would 1 have been arrested at that time but for the fact that the police believed that he was still in the employ of the troll ley company, and could be secured at any time. To-day he was recognized by Dolan at the depot and the latter informed the local police with the re- suit that he was arrested. Young is l the man who had trouble with Mrs l Gary of Naugatuck some time ago.

BASE BALL AT NORWICH.
Authorities Refuse to Furnish Police
 Protection.

Norwich May 6.-The local authori- ties to-day refused to furnish police man to do duty at the ball grounds this summer. though 1t was announced that there would be policemen on hand or nearby to prevent any unnecessary disorder. This is believed to be caus- ed by reason of the failure of the base ball authorities to back up Officer Con nell in his suit brought against him by Manager George E. Harrington of Wa terbury, who was elected from the grandstand and the grounds last sum- mer. 1t is said that ConnelI had to pay all. his own expenses of the suit something like S75.

THE bacteriologists are now ad

THE bacteriologists are now ad- vising us to use lemon juice in water to prevent typhoid fever. The idea, however, is not alto gether new. Attempts were made during the civil war to in duce Northern soldiers to use the juice of the lemon freely in drinking water, and quite a number of the practitioners have for ryears been recommending this preventative. Typhoid fever, it is said, is a water borne disease. and the germ has filaments at either end something like the fins of fish, by which it propels it. self. Lemon juice or any other citric acid shrivels these fila ments, prevents the germ from penetrating the tissue or enter ing the blood. The juice is claimed to be only a preventa- a- tive, not cure. Once the tissues have been penetrated :, and the blood infected, the germ is beyond the reach of the juice.

TIE Arkansas DemOcra,

TIE Arkansas Democrat is en- deavoring to arouse a sentiment in favor Of better pay for teach CTS in our public school. The question of inadequate wages is only one thatis effecting the pro- gress of our school system. Teachers can never be paid well until there is money with which to do it. The pupils must be decently housed before they can take ad- vantage of good instructions. There is world of fault to find when one goes about a critical examination into the affairs of our public school sytem.
