CITY NEWS

A man who boards in the center and slept until 1 o'clock this afternoon lock- ed out through his window and .notic- ing the smoke wondered where the fire was. He dressed and took a stroll down West Main street still curious to know what was burning Finally he looked across the green and saw a big condagration on the hotel companys lot and thinking all the dust and smoke came from that spot he started to rail at John w Gaffney and the Sal vation army and wound up by stating that some people can do as they please in this town while others stand in dan ger of being pinched for trivial mat ters. The fire on the hotel lot was a big one and added considerably to the volume of smoke that came in from abroad, but 1t was not the cause of the whole trouble.

 Chicago, June 4.-'%The Christian hos pital," an institution at No 617 La Sale avenue, which is said to make a business of selling regulations to physicians, has been enjoined by Judge Holdom from advertising Dr John B. Murphy as president of its staff.
 Postoff1ce Inspector Stuart has ar rested the principal directors of the in stibution, charging them with fraudu- lent use of the malls, and the Chicago Medical society has begun collecting additional evidence designed to expose the extent to which the hospital has carried on its Nbusiness." The federal grand jury will investigate the charges.
 The plan. as set forth in the "hos- pital's" literature, was to dispose of memberships" on che staff of the hos pital. For $25, the maximum fee, the applicant received 8 beautifully en- crossed certificate, which imparts con- fldence to patients, while for other sums the institution retailed official buttons and other insignia intended to impress the credulous.

THE STRIKERS STATEMENT.
Tells About Some of the Skylarking of
 Strike Breakers.

Strike Breakers.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued their 145th daily statement this faffefnoon, as follows:
 Iii some of those strike-breaker composing the rowdy element of that gang, are not looked after pretty sharp ly by their employers and by the police, there will be plenty or trouble this sum- mer in Waterbury. Last night, we are reliably informed, eight of those strike breakers went up to Belleview lake and shortly afterwards got into trouble with a colored man whom they saw scratching his head and thought he did so as an insult to them. Immediately the eight trolley chaps pulled out re- volvers and assumed attitudes of a threatening nature. Luckily there was not a very big crowd around at the time or some hot-headed impulse might have been the means of causing blood shed. Afterwards this gang came down town, hired conveyance and drove dnto the outskirts, firing off their reTolvers as they rode along in true wild west fashion Waterbury will never stand for such work and those sttrike-br eakers should be made to un- derstand 1t eImphatically by the police, if their employers are unable to exert any influence over them.
 1t was amusing to Us to-day to see the scare heads displayed by moaning paper stating that the detectives had found Druggist Wlolcott and that he might go dnto count and testify against the strikers now on trial. This news( D is interesting to us. Somebody must have been asleep on that paper, for two weeks ago we knew Wolcott was in Pine Meadows, Mass, and we also knew he was in company with Detec- tive Rogers in New Haven and Hart ford last Friday and Saturday, We have also been for some time of the opinion that Wolcott would try to get himself out of trouble by any means. even if he had to say something against our men, but we did nat consider the man worthy of any attention, his rec ord here being too well known for us to discuss
 'tA new prescription has been placed upon the market by doctor who was quite interested in one of the 'alli- ances.' A friend of our cause called upon the pill prescrtber for advice. and when the 1atter was Informed that his patient was walking since the strike, he declared that therein lay the cause of the mans malady If his life would be saved, said the doctor, 1t was necessary that the man should take dadiy rides on the trolley cars. To say that the man was surprised at hearing the new form of prescription is putting it mildly, and he asked if his disease was the new one known as "Wewalkitis." He is still in doubt. The doctor did not tell me to shake well before taking, said our friend, in relating this occurrence, < but l shook 1t we'll without taking" The man was still alive at press hour.
 While we have repeatedly stated that we are ready at all times to. meet the company on fair basis, we do not want OUT friends to get the opinion that we are in the least bit "crawl- ing" When we make the statement that we will meet the company half way we only Intend to show the pub lie that we are anxious to do our share to eradicate the present public incon- venience.
