THE DAILY STATEMENT.

Says the Trolley Company Has a
 Bunch of Lawsuits on Hand.
 The strikers executive committee issued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 This is the 199th day of the strike, and we have to report to the public that our prediction about suits against the company has proven to be a fact. Seven suits were brought against the company Saturday for accidents that we have reported right along and mo- tices we're served upon the company's officials at the Bridgeport headquar- ters. This.is only the first bunch, too. There are others to follow. The gener- al manager may tell the public to go to the hot place, as he is said to have remarked and he may be empowered to drop lot of money in fighting his old employees; but when he gets hauled into the high courts where a case may mean $1oOO or it. may mean $5,0OO loss to his company, he may not travel at so fast a clip.
 The company and some of the news papers reported a big business on the cars last Sunday. But what is the use of trying to deceive ourselves. Is there person in Waterbury who would like to take the amount of the difference between last Sunday and a year ago? Which would you prefer the receipts from, six or seven cars coming into the center with fair loads or twenty to twenty-five coming into the center with passengers perched upon the roofs and lenders? And conditions will remain according to the first instance as long as this strike lasts. The company can't make the public believe black is white and ought to soon get tired trying to convince themselves that they are color blind.
 A woman was hurled from the run ming board of a car on East Main street, near Orange street, on Satur- day evening. Instead of apologizlng, at least, for his carelessness, the con ductor is said to have sworn loudly at the woman for the, mishap. His lan- guage must have been harsh for po- liceman is said to have gone out and threatened him with arrest if he was not less abusive and used better talk.
 The free ticket graft is not confined to Waterbury. They have it in swing on the Bridgeport-N Haven route. And by the way, that very nice young gentleman, Ernie Wolcott. is in the employ of the company on that line. He Is trustworthy conductor. But about free tickets. We know a man in Waterbury who, in the presence of | three witnesses was offered punches of free tickets on that line. Great Scott! Where is this company getting all the money that, they are so lavishly distirb- uting in their efforts to crush the work ingmen who stuck faithfully by them for years? Wouldn't it set sensible men thinking?

SOLDER SHOT POLICEMAN.
The Soldier Was Trying to
 Shoot His Sweetheart

The Trouble Arose Over the Girl Re
 fusing to Marry the Man-She Was
 Obeying the Wish of Her Father,
 Who Wanted Her Three Older Sis
 ters to Marry First-The Bullet from
 the Soldiers Revolver Went Clear
 Through the Policeman's Head.
 New York, July 2S--In full view of hundreds of persons going to work. Pa- trolman Cornelius Mulvey was shot and probably fatally injured, on the corner of Avenue B and Seventh street, to-day, while trying to prevent a sol dier from shooting his sweetheart. The soldier is Adolph Schloss, p years old, of the Eleventh battery, Field artillery, stationed at B.,rt Hamilton, Brooklyn. After shooting the policeman the sol dier turned the revolver on himself, but without serious damage. Mulvey was shot in the center of his forehead, the bullet passing entirely through his skull and out at the back of his ..sead. Schloss was arrested immediately. His sweetheart, Louisa Freedman, IS years old, ran away screaming after the shooting and the police are looking for her.
 Just what led up the shooting is not known. Schloss has been in the army for two months and was on leave of absence. He declared that he had been away four days over his leate.. but said he had had no intention of deserting. Policeman Mulvey is 40 years old and has been several years on the force.
 The girl was found later and told the detectives that her father wished her three older sisters to marry first and she had therefore broken her engage ment with Schloss, who shot at her after she had refused to renew the en- gagement.

THE PoLIsHERs' STRIKE.
International Officer Here to Try to
 Adjust Matters.

International Officer Here to Try to
 Adjust Matters.
 John J. Flynn, fourth vice president of the Interna tional Association of Pol ishers and Buffers came to Waterbury this afternoon for the purpose of in- quiring into the difference between the polishers at Benedict & Burnhams s and Foreman Samuel Lowe. MT Flynn be- longs in New York and appears to be quite an intelligent gentleman. To a Democrat reporter he said that there was nothing to give out to-day. He had just dropped into town and was not at all familiar with the situation. He expects to meet the committee to- night and hear their grievances and then he will be in a position to see what there is for, him to do. 1t is earnestly hoped that. the matter will be adjusted in a manner satisfactory to both sides and that the men will be back at work in a day or so. There is strong prejudice in the public mind against any more strikes in Wa terbury at the present time and if the company and the men look at the ques- ton in this light, and there is no req son to think that they will do other wise, then the little tilt will be smoothed and no interest will suffer.

 on Officers With Them-Rewards Of fered for Their Capture. San Francisco, Cal, July 2S.-At latest accounts the troops and posses organ ized by the sheriffs of the different counties are keeping ill close touch with the convicts who broke out of state prison at Folsom and their prisoners, the guards and jail officials whom they have taken with them in self-protec- tion. The party is moving towards Colima, where the citizens have armed themselves and are preparing to resist any attack. They have been warned of the advance of the convicts and will unite with the authorities in an effort to put an end to their existence. 1t is reported by the driver of a stage which passed between Pilot Hill and Colima that he saw the convicts walking close together. They all wore citizens clothing and were accompanied by men who were evidently residents of the vii cinity, whom they had apparently forced to go with them as guides. A posse from Placerville under Sheriff Bostwick was reported not far behind, following their trail
 The result of the fight between the convicts and the officers at o'clock 1ast-night near Pilot Hill in Eldorado county was the death of Fred Howard, a convict, killed outright, and the wounding of another convict. negro named Seavis. When last seen the convicts were in citizens clothing, while the prisoners wore the stripes. The latter appeared to be having a hard time of it, as they were heavily laden with bundles and-ammunition.
 The latest information is to the eff feet that another encounter has taken place between the fleeing convicts and their pursuers, resulting in the death of John Allison, a convict, and of an other whose name is unknown. The posse and militia are closing in on the desperadoes and 1t is likely that soon they will be surrounded on all sides.

A settlement of Troubles in the East
 May Come Soon.
 Victoria, B. O., July 2S.-Advices re ceived by the steamer Tosa Maru from the orient state that the Japanese press is still maintaining a most reso- lute stand on the Manchurian ques- tion. The general opinion is that the time has gone by for warnings to Chi nese or reference to Chinese states men. As the Japanese Times epito. mizes it:
 '''The diplomatic situation with re gard to Manchuria has passed the stage where questions of China's moral courage or cowardice are of any importance. The only possible way to permanently settle the trouble is tc discuss the matter frankly with Rus. sfa and there may be war or may be peace, but, either way, the settlemeut will be definite"

Young Woman Recovers Speech and
 Use of Her Limbs. l"y

Pasadena, Cal. July 2S.-Miss Alice Dane, apparently a helpless cripple and deprived of perfect speech for years, has suddenly recovered the use of her limbs and vocal powers through an ac- cident. Miss Dane suffered from spinal trouble. She hobbled about on crutches and could hardly speak above a whisper. n
 While ascending the stairs at her home she fell and the last step struck against her chest. Immediately the pains from which she had suffered for many years disappeared. After a few moments she arose and walked about without the aid of crutches. Many physicians had treated the case unsuc- cessfully for years.

BURPEE'S JOKE
Says He Gave His Answer to
 Board of Arbitrators
SAYS'.NoTHING TO ARBITRATE,

Company Is Doing Business at the Old

 Still Running Its Cars-Answer yNaS
 Gdven to Men Last February.
 Nothing need be expected by the puo- ilc rom the visit of the state board of arDatration to this city to effect d set uement of the trolley strike. This morning Colonel Burpee said he had gwen the board the companys answer. that 1t.had nothing to settle, and while ne was very grateful to the board for us interest in the matter and would be glad to hear from the members at any tune II they had anything to suggest stlll the company had no grievances against its present employees, its cars are running on schedule time. and what more could be desired or asked for9
 Colonel Burpee told the board Satur- day, the day of the visit. that whila tha Vlslt was a pleasure to him. 1t was i1n- timely and would serve nothing but to revive interest in the situation and thereby prolong the agony, so to speah me company is doing all that anybody could ask such corporation to do, that IS, runs it's cars on schedule time.
 lie was aware that a great number of people are not riding who would ride under other conditions, but that was X matter of discretion with them. ana of course the company would necessarily loose such patronage. But the com pany could afford to lose money whole lot of it and much as it tlisliked to, It was willing to do so. and in fact is doing so. But it should not be lost sight of that the cars are running now as they were this time a year ago.
 great many persons have been in- considerate enough, he said, to suggest measures Of settlement when. in fact as everyone who knows anything could see that there is nothing to settle. Early last February the company,s po- sition in the contention was made known. That is the stand of the com pany now, and will henceforth be. The strikers know what that stand is and they can avail themselves of it as soon as they like. The. company is content with the way things are going. Such was Colonel Burpee's answer to the board of arbitration
