ply with the request of Colonel Burpee othe mayor that each car shall be manned by policeman for protection. MT Beach said he did not know how this could be done unless special off cers were sworn in.g This would cost the city good deal of money, as each man should be paid $2.5O a day. Al present the additional protection the company has been given costs the citv about $25 or $50 day. {.
 A rumor was current in the north end this morning that a car had been run off the track by Instructions and was greatly damaged. The only truth Ill the report was that a car ran off, the track above Fill street on North Main street. Had there been no strike no attention would have. been paid to this matter for cars run off the track at that point quite frequently. But the time was ripe for rumors of dis-l turbance and the air was full of them. In short time. Upon the accident happening those in charge of the car ran to the nearest store that had as telephone. At first no objection was made to using the telephone, but when the storekeeper ascertained that it was non-union men wished to use it. and that they desired to call up the car barn to get the wreck crew out to their assistance, they were told to leave the store immediately. This was the reception they got everywhere they applied. The result was. that they had to leave their car as it was. right across the street, until their non-appearance at Exchange place caused fears for their safety and a. car was dispatched to them. With the assistance thus given they got |their car back on the track. This is only another instance of the temper of the people toward the troll ley company.

Shortage of Cars.
 Philadelphia, Jan 22.-Thomas Thom- as, district superintendent of the Le- high Valley Railroad Go, was the first witness before the coal strike commis- sion to-day. He tetsified that prior to the strike of 1900 the company had no difficulty in getting the contract miners to produce extra cars of coal when necessary to meet the demand.

B. of A..may set our selves right in the eyes of all labor or ganizations, both in our own city and in Waterbury, and are ready and will ing at all times to lend helping hand to any and all labor organizations who are trying to uphold unionism and the principles which it represents"
 The strikers deny the report that they had delegates at a meeting of the Bridgeport union yesterday. They could not say whence these reports came from. 4
 Manager Sewell is now purchasing at least part of the provisions for the strike breakers out of town. On an early train this morning from New Ha- ven four or five bags of potatoes and three barrels of other provisions ar rived at the Naugatuck station for Manager Sewen.
 Yesterday afternoon Colonel Burpee. as counsel for the company, requested Mayor Kilduff to give the company ad- ditional protection in running their cars. He asked that a policeman ac- company each car hereafter until the strike is over or peace in some form IS certain. The mayor had taken no ac- tion up to noon.
 It would be hard to convince people who were about town last night that the trolley strike is having any appre- ciable effect upon business i'll the stores, some of which were crowded to such an extent that folks who didn't want to buy anything and who were about the streets justto see what was going on thought all the merchants must have been conducting special sales. Of Course the fine weather had something to do in bringing out the crowd, but it Is doubtful if this was in any way re- sponsible for the rush at the counters.
 The party who threw the stone from the elevator shaft of the buckle factory, breaking a window ill a passing car, was discovered yesterday by an official of the factory He is a small boy who said he was carried away by the ex- citement. At first it was thought best to discharge him from the company $ employ, but on account of his age and the great excitement prevailing + was held that his conduct was excusable and that nobody would be benefited by

 we walk clubs are all the rage these times and it is thought that with in a few weeks there will be several organizations in town of that name. Last evening a crowd of youngsters in the south end got together in an old hen coop belonging to one of the neigh. bors and formed what they called the we Walk Social and Athletic associa- tion." The first vote passed was a very cordial Endorsement of the posi- tion taken by the street railroad strik. CTS. The club intends to have a base ball nine next summer that will be tout of sight" as one of them told a Democrat reporter, who heard the noise and looked in through a hole in the coop and inquired what was up.

Non Union Men Taking the Place of
 Strikers in Lynn.
 Lynn, Mass, Jan 22.-Charles J. Nc. Morrow. a general organizer of the Boot and Shoe Workers union, has ar rived in Lynn on a summons from Chi cago by President Tobin of the organ ization. He will take general charge of prosecuting the fight precipitated against the union by the strike of the Knights of Labor.
 The non-union men went to the fac tories without serious trouble to-day The sole demonstration was at the Watson Shoe Co.'S factory, where there was considerable missing and hooting.
 The Boot and Shoe Workers union put no additional cutters at work this morning, and as yesterday, four of the ten factories where the strike is on were without a cutting force. The smallpox scare resulting from news that some of the imported men had come from Rochester, N. Y. where an epidemic prevailed. has abated, as the board of health physicians found that the twenty-five men from Rochester. with a single exception, had been re- gently vaccinated.
