Monday last and declared strike yester-
day against all the street paving under

hours after the strike was in effect. All!
the paving in the borough of Brooklyn
WAS tied up and all the PAYERS, hammers
concrete mixers and steam roller engineers,
as we'll as ssonesetters, on every class OF
work, both in the borough and the greater
oity, have been notified Of the strike and
will be appealed to. il the demands Of the
strikers are not conceded, with a view 20
calling n general strike.
The strikers alege that cement is being
used for the c,irbs on certain streets. in
violation Of the Charter. They say that
Commissioner Redfeld he's violated his
promise to compel all contractors to Use
bluestone for curbs and has let a fresh
cont ract to the era nford Company to re-
pave Hall street, giving the company the
right to use cement for the curbs.
Commissioner Redfield said last night
that the strikers had given him no intima-
ton Of their purpose and had prese nted no
grievance. He said that when the COM
mittee waited upon him some days ago

and they went away apparently satisfied.
Il was informed by telephone that the

me from the unions until almost noon. A
suggestion was made ten days ago by the
representatives Of the stonecutters and
curbsetters, which was at once granted,
No further consents TO use cement curbs
have been granted. There is no need that
there should. There is now plenty Of
bluestone, and the contractors know that
they mus, Use it. The Hall street con-
tract was let and negotiations were pend
ing for the use Of the cement curb before
the promise referred to. and the men have
absolutely no grievance on that score.
After the recent Of the notification Of
the strike the Commissioner received a
letter from the United Cement Masons Of
Greater New York. Offering to do the work
abandoned by the strikers. The Com
missioner expressed his opinion that the
strike is the result Of Tammany attempt

and New York police for protection on
the part of those opposed to Parks. The
Parks men, II is said. are responsible for
the trouble. They are employed on the

The other men have been at work on a
power house which ia being built close to
the elevator Originally the contracts for
the buildings were let to the American
Bridge Company. but that company sublet
them to different contractors. and that is
how Parks's men are employed on one
building and anti-Parks man Oh the other.
They have the same hours and the same

and in other ways made the situation most
disagreeable for the anti-Parks workers.
One Of the employees of the power house

they quit work early in the week.
The matter was brought before the
Weehawken police, and an appeal was made
to them for protection, They said they

police station to have the reserves at the
Forty-second street ferry in the morning

DENIES POST OFFICE BRIBERY.
Johns Says Ryan Paid Him Money for
Counsel Fees.

CINCINNATI, Oct. l5.-Joseph NJ. Johns.
one of the defendants in the alleged post
Office bribery cases in connection with
J. j. Ryan's get-rich-quick enterprise,
was the first witness Of importance called
by the defence to-day. The Government
closed it's case at noon, and at the after
noon session several Indiana 'jurists and
State officials were called as character
witnesses in behalf of Johns and Miller.
They spoke in highest praise of both.
They we're followed by John j. Ryan,
whom the defence called to show that he
had employed Johns as an attorney to
represent the Ryan Turf Company. Ryan
denied employing him in any other capacity
than that of exerting his personal influ-
ence to secure from the Post Office Depart
ment favorable decision giving him the
right to Use the mails.
Johns was on the 1t and in his own behalf
until the 8 O'Clock adjournment. He told
of meeting Ryan and denied statements
attributed to him by Ryan, Of compromis-
ing nature He declared that the n, 500
Ryan had paid him was in the nature of
contingent fees, payable upon Johns's de-
livery Of decree from the Post Office De-
partment granting to Ryan the use of the
mails for his turf scheme.
The general tenor of his'testimony. based
upon his own evidence, showed that he
started the building Of amodern home in
Rockville. Ind, with n ten dollar bank
account in November and that in the spring
of the neat year he had spent several thou
sand dollars upon il. He further said he
had never agreed to nor had he paid Miller
a cent of money. He interpreted Miller's
telegram, Never wire him." 10 mean
Never wired him" He also denied having
made such a remark on meeting Ryan
in this city as Well, I've got the goods. "
He also denied having made q remark that
he thought it was clever work TO get As
sist ant Attorney istiancy's signature to
letter granting Ryan immunity from
postal int difference.
The Governments first witness to-day
was c. A. G. Christianoy, former First
Assistant Attorney General OF the Post
Office Department, He said he did not
know that decree had been entered in
the RYAN case OF date Of Dec. 10, but ad-
mitted that he WAS responsible for the
doiugs OF his subordinates. He also said
that, in a general sense, he had Endorsed a
draft Of the decree favorable to Ryan, but
had not seen the decree. He had suggested
that il be drawn up with some kind OF a
string TO II, so that in an extremity the
case could be reopened by the inspectors

been rewarded. DR.. JacksOne. an eminent

remedy. II has been analysed and
proven TO contain the principal ingredi-
ents of nerve force and cell life (human
existence) in the exact form in which
they are found in the living nerves. cells

This discovery practically revolutionizes
the practice Of medicine. Many diseases
