Because of an overabuadance of
water Jackson is suffering from wa
ter famine. This seeming paradox
may be explained by Pearl River hav-
ing overfowcd and submerged the
plant of the water works stopping
the pump. Many factories have been
forced to shut down and the Fire De
partment is also placed hors de COM
bat as it depends upon the water
works for its supply; the conditions
are really very deploraoie.
The States unfortunate in the
Insane Asylum at Jackson seem liable
to become victims OF the coal short
age. 1t is said that that institution
has only limited supply of coal with
small prospect of its replonishment
soon, aad thus are the Asylum S un-
fortunates being made to suffer be-
cause of the ayaricious greed of the
iooai harons, = whose i'll gotten gains

According toreports they discovered

rather far fetched as 40 State has

ing it to this condition.

SEVERE BLIZZARD IN CHICAGO.
Ons of the Worst ia Years DsmOraIizes
Traffic.

Chicago, Feb. 4-Chicago was the
scene to-day and last night of the worst
blizzard in years and for hours this
morning was cut off from the outside
world. Wires are down in every direc-
tion, and all telegraphic lines, except
those of the Chicago and Milwaukee
roads were unavoidable, as were the
long distance telephone wires. except
one line to Omaha. No quotations have
been received from New York up to 10
a. m. Nearly a foot of snow fell yes
terday and last night. A rain and sleet
storm. accompanied by high wind,
accomplished the havoc. Street car
traffic is demoralized and incoming
trains are reported late. The storm
continued to-day, hampering the work
of the repair crews sent out in every di-
rection by the telegraph companies.
Two lives were lost and numerous acci-
dents have been reported.
Railway, N. J., Feb. 4.-During a Sc
we're thunder storm which visited the
New Jersey coast tonight, lightning
struck the plant of the Uniform Steel
company at this place. setting it on fire
and causing damage of about 100000.

farmer, who has been feeding his hogs
on the bodies of old horses which We're

ments. The officers found eight pigs in
the pens and scattered about were
parts of the bodies of several old
horses which had been partly eaten by
the hogs. The farmer said that he had
disposed of fourteen old horses in that
way during the winter and 1t was about
all the food the hogs had. All the hogs
were killed by the officers because they
were unfit to eat on account of the
danger of their having become affected
with CHAMBERS and also because of the
unsuita bility of hogs fed in that manner

ner given tonight at the Waldorf by
THE Pilgrims" of London, a society
whose object is to promote good fellow
ship between the United States and
Great Britain and her colonies. The So
ciety was represented by the American
members Of it's executive committee,
General Joseph Wheeler, Senator Chaun-
cey M. Depew, George T. Wilson and
Lindsay Russell.
About 200 were present, including
members of the Pilgrim society of the
United States. The banquet hall was
draped with British and American flags
and the music of the evening consisted
of the patriotic airs of the two coun-
tries.
The list of speakers included Lord
Beresford, Rev. Donald Sage Mackay,
Ferdinand w. Peck, Don M. Dickinson.
Simeon Ford, Job Z. Hedges, Former
Attorney General John W. Griggs. and
Captain Charles D. Sigsbee, U. S. N.

A unique feature, of the dinner was
the bearing into the room with the last
course, of model of the Condor" the
ship which Lord Beresford commanded
at the bombardment of Alexandria, to-
gether with representation of an
American battleship. The appearance
of these two, pieces, bearing the flags
of the two countries, was greeted with
prolonged applause.

posed as the first toast Of the evening,
His Majesty, the King" which was
drunk standing, to the strains Of God
Save tie King" &.
1.-The Star Spangied Banner was
played while the toast ITO the Presi-
dent of the. United States" was drunk
and then a dual toast to the king and
the president was offered and was drunk
with rousing cheers.
Lord Charles Beresford was the first
speaker introduced. He said in part:

friends late in the day, and when Gen
eral Manager SewelI was quoted as ad-
nitting that such was the case there
was some feeling of bitterness dis
played.
The afternoon brought out another
effort on the part of the city clergymen
to induce compromise conference be-
tween the officials of the company and
the strikers. The clergymen waited
upon Colonel Burpee, but their mis-
sion. it is stated. was frhitless.
Just before o'clock Sheriff Dunham
arrived in Waterbury from New Ha-
ven. With him were thirty deputies,
newly sworn. The little posse was es-

Niaht-saioous Not CiOsed.


Nisht-saloomg Not CiOsed.
Waterbury. Feb. 4-Sixteen more
non-union men reached town by a train
at 1920 o'clock tonight and were at
once hustled into waiting trolley car
and started for the car barns of the
street railroad company. knowledge
of their coming was confined to only
small number of people. and there was
no crowd at the station to greet them.
In passing through the center of the
city there was some hooting as the car
sped along, but no violent demonstra-
tion occurred.
Much surprise was occasioned by the
arrival Of this new lot of strike break
ers," as it has been understood that
General Manager Sewell had more than
enough non-union men already in town
to handle all the cars. The only eason
that conjecture could assign for the rev
importation was that the road manage
ment, expecting trouble of a fierce kind
tonight, was prepared to carry out its
announced intention of running every
car on every line as close to the sched-
ule as possible, regardless Of all rioting.
With plenty of extra men in the car
barns it would be possible for the COM
pany to fill the places of all probable
victims of violence. Should any motor
men or conductors be disabled, as was
the case last Saturday night, when
nineteen of the company's employees
were more or less injured, there would
still be men available to man the cars.
Although there have been expressions
of opinion by prominent citizens that
the saloons should have been ordered
to close tonight in view of the disturb
ed conditions and the prospect of re-
newed rioting, this was not done, and
the saloons and amusement houses
were wide open as usual. The board of
safety considered this question last
night but decided that there was no
necessity for such a step. While the
military authorities might advise the
closing of these places, they could not
act unless the city were formally placed
under martial law.
Mayor Kilduff gave an interesting ex-
preston of opinion this afternoon re-
garding the proposal to withdraw part
Of the troops. He is quoted as having
said in private conversation: IF the
| troops were withdrawn tomorrow. I
believe there would be a renewal of the
most serious disturbances tomorrow
night"

Troops:
Waterbury, Feb. 4-Absolute quiet
prevailed throughout the city tonight
until along towards II o'clock when in
the Brooklyn district symptoms of dis
order were to be detected in gangs
emerging from certain overcrowded
saloons. For half an hour Company F,
Second regiment, the Grays, had a de-
cidedly warm time A crowd OF drunks,
evidently on a prearranged plan rush
ed from a dive and hurled drained beer
bottles at a passing trolley car. They
then scurried away in the darkness.
This beer bottle incident seemed to act
as signal for the resumption Of stone
throwing tactics from behind houses
and other places of concealment.
Almost coincident with this trouble a
report, evidently important, was
brought in from the end of the line to
the quarters Of Company in No. 4
engine house. A moment later word
was sent to General Frost's headquar-
ters and for a time there was consid-
cradle suppressed excitement. The
work Of communication was carried on
very quietly and it was only with
great difficulty that the nature of the
situation was discovered. 1t transpired
that at the end of the trolley line in
Brooklyn where a detachment of Com
pany F has been on guard there had
been some lively shooting. Most of
the shots were directed toward the
cars, butaAa soldier was found who
insisted that the troops had been shot
at. The officers of the guard refused to
discuss the. matter and blankly denied
that anything of the kind had occurred.
Just before midnight, however, Major
John @. Tilson, Of New Haven, came
out from General Frost's headquarters
and proceeded rapidly to the quarters
of Company F. There he informed Cap
tain Gruener that he had been detailed
to remain there over night.
About 12:45 it was reported to head
quarters that revolver shots had been
fired in the North Eend in the direction
of patrolling soldiers. Upon investiga
ton it was found that shots had been
fired, but there was no clue. The shoot
ing was probably the work of boys.

PREPARED FOR CRISIS.
Waterbury Set Her Teeth Last Night
Expecting to Meet It.

Expecting to Meet 1T.
Waterbury, Conn.,, Feb. 4.-Waterbury
set her teeth at sundown to meet u
crisis in the trolley strike. Citizen and
soldier, civil authorities, local and coun-
ty, and even the striking trolley men,
every one to whom the majesty of the
law is a matter of concern, dreaded
this Wednesday night. They feared the
injection into the situation of the ele-
.ment of money and what money will
buy. Last Saturday was pay day for
thousands Of Waterbury's laborers and
those who were on the ground affirm
that the riot of that night was result
of not unusual pay day carousals.
Wednesday is wage day for as many
more thousands of the city's employed,
and the logic Of the thing seemed to
point to this night as one of menacing
possibilities. All told the day had been
an uneasy one. The official discussion
of the question involving the withdraw
al of q portion of the state troops serv-
ed to keep the unadvised in the air, and
the talk of the substitution of a sner-
ifs posse for portion of the troops

ingly. it was with great relief that Wa
terbarians heard the news from the
state capitol that Governor Chamber
lain had decided not to withdraw troops
tonight.
So far as the peace of the city was
concerned the day had been a quiet
one A heavy downpour of rain kept
idlers within doors, but it was recalled
that the darkness and a thick fog on
Monday night had afforded an. effect
i've cover for lawlessness. The author
tiles did not overlook this phase of the
situation and early in the day prepared
to meet it. The military headquarters
was equipped with a telephone system
reaching out to every important point
in the strike territory. The signal
corps put into place powerful search
lights at the car barns and power
house, and similar apparatus in tall
building on South Main street near
headquarters, thus making possible
through the corps communication by
light signals and removing some of the
handicaps imposed by darkness.

this afternoon had for it's feature plea

Discussed by Carroll d. Wright i'm
Boston.
Boston, Feb. 4.-''The Wages Cues
ton" was discussed by Hon. Carroll D.
Wright tonight before the Twentieth
Century club. In his address he said:
''The wages question is perhaps the
most important branch of political
economy; certainly it is the most diff
cult. 1t is the most important because
labor is at the basis of all values. 1t is
the most difficult because of the varied
and complicated conditions surrounding
labor.
eve see in every progressive COM
munity that the demand of the work.
ingman is no longer for a wage suffi-
cient to enable him to keep body and
soul together. Labor has been taught
to feel that it is a practical as we'll as
economic power in the community, and
this educating process has gone on until
the demand of labor is for a reasonable
margin beyond that fixed by the iron
law of wages. How far this demand
shall be granted, how far the working
man shall be enabled to beneht by the
results of his education, are the great
questions.
Another disturbing question in the
wages question is what is an equitable
adjustment of wages and profits.
1--WE have had communism and social
ism suggested as the true solutions Of
the problem, but in them the patriotic
citizen does not find that he can place
the laboring man on a just and equit-
able basis where he shall receive an in
creased share of the benefits arising
from the introduction of machinery or
the many novel processes for speeding
on production. The great majority Of
men still feel that the ethical and econ
omical objections to the wages question
can be met in other ethical and econ
omical adjustments which shall relieve
the question of it's irritating elements.

MURDER IN PENTTENTIARY,
Young Prisoner Kills Negro After a
Religious QuarreI. . ,. NJ

Religious QuarreI. r. III
Philadelphia, Feb. 4.--For the third
time in the history Of the Eastern PEN
itentiary that institution was to-day
the scene of most brutal murder. The
victim was James Pratt, negro, aged
thirty-seven years, who was serving a
sentence of twenty years for burglary
committed last August. The crime was
perpetrated by Cornelius Bush, twenty
one years old. also colored, sentenced to
two years Imprisonment for assault
and battery. The murder, which re-
suited from a religious quarrel, was
committed early this morning, but was
not discovered until ). d. Smith, an
overseer, carried breakfast to the men,
who were cellnates. He found only
Bush in the cell, and upon investigation
discovered the decapitated body Of
Pratt, wrapped In blankets and sheets,
head of the murdered man was found
tied up In an old shirt. M
Bush was placed under guard in an
other cell and the coroner was summon
ed to the penitentiary. To him Bush
told the details of the crime. He said
Pratt and himself had quarrelled all
last night about religious matters.
Finally Pratt lay down on his bunk and
after he had fallen asleep Bush crushed
his skull with stool. Then with a
knife that both had used at mealtimes
he severed his victims head. After
wrapping up the head and body Bush
retired and slept soundly until nearly z
o'clock this morning.
Eighteen years ago Keeper Doran
was killed by an inmate, and about
eight years ago Keeper James. Bloonher
was stabbed to death by an insane pris-
oner.
