WIDESPREAD STRIKES.

In nearly every city in the country
workers whose agreements Go not run
until May ] struck yesterday for shorter
hours and higher pay. The only serious
outbreak was near Trenton, where the
union men attacked nOn-unionists, beat
them and destroyed Pennsylvania Rail-
road property.
The strike of 20, 900 men in the buildss
ing trades in Westchester county, n. Y,
and part of Connecticut completely
stopped building operations. Strikes
were begun in Rhode Island which may
ultimately involve l22, 900 men. Thele
is no prospect Of settlement of the
Massachusetts, mill strike of 20, 600 en-
ployes. In Chicago five trades are tied
up and 5000 men idle. All the vessel
men of Buffalo and ! 800 plumbers have
quit their employment
Two hundred men, including cleo
tricians, sheet-iron and copper workers,
went on systematic strike on the new
Stock Exchange building in New York
yesterday to compel the Western Electric
Company to discharge non-union men.
Never in the history of Westchester
county has there been such complete
shutdown of all building work as that of
yesterday, when 20, 900 mechanics went
on strike for higher wages and many of
them for half holiday Saturdays with
full Jay. When the Z o'clock whistle
blew not n mechanic responded. The
strike stopped the erection of villas,
cottages and manor houses which New
Workers are building in towns along the
Sound, costing in the neighborhood of
$40, 900, 600.
The strike covers all the territory be-
tween the Bronx river and Hartford,
Ct, and as it comes just at the busy
season contractors say the loss will be
5000, 900 q week to the contractors,
bosses and mechanics. In White Plains
there are 1000 strikers. The bosses
there threaten to hire nonunion men.
One hundred plumbers and steam
filters went on strike in Mount Vernon.
Fifteen hundred men in the building
trades went on strike in Port Chester,
Rye, Harrison and Mamaroneck yester-
day. The strikers demand an increase
of 2S cents daily and half holiday on
Saturday, with full pay. Building OPP
erations are at standstill.
AT Bridgeport, Ct, arrangements
have been made to equip the police de-
partment with riot guns. This action,
coming when trolley strike is threat
ened on the Connecticut Railway and
Lighting Company's local lines, has oc-
casioned comment in union circles. The
police commissioners say it is well to be
prepared for a riot in case one occurs.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG COUPLE

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG COUPLE.
Frederick Stothard and his bride, to
whom he was recently married, were
found dead yesterday in the yard of his
fathers home, in Lakeview, a suburb
of Paterson, n. J. They had killed
themselves with carbolic acid. 1t is be-
lieyed the double suicide was the result
of a pact decided upon after the pair
had started for the Stothard home to
ask the forgiveness of Stothard's father
Stothard, who was formerly employed
in New York, became acquainted with
Louise Chesser ,and desired to make her
his wife, but his parents and her parents
objected to the proposed marriage.
Stothard moved with his parents to
Lakeview sometime ago. He had not
been working recently, as he was
threatened with blindness. He went to
New York Saturday to see a doctor
about his eyes, and the same evening
wrote letter TO his mother, in which
he said that he and Miss Chesser had
been married since September. He in
closed the marriage certificate and said
he and his bride were coming to Lake
view to seek forgiveness. The
mother, who is blind, was so enraged
over the news that was read to her by
her husband that she tore the letter to
pieces. The elder Stothard was looking
out of a rear window in his home yes
terday when he saw lying in the back
yard what appeared to be the form of
woman. He thought that someone had
been playing an Aprii-fool joke and
placed dummy there, but decided to
investigate. On going into the yard he
found his sons bride lying dead. He at
once recognized her, as he had often seen
her in East New York. Further inyes-
tigation disclosed the dead body of his
son in an Outhouse in the yard. BY the
body of the young man lay an empty
eight-ounce bottle that had contained
carbolic acid. 1t is believed young
Stothard and his bride arrived in Lake
view at midnight and that they had in
tended to 90 to the Stothard home and
beg forgiveness of his parents, but that,
fearing they would meet with cold
reception and Re turned away, decided
to end their lives.

CLEVELAND WILL NOT RUN.
Cannot Conceive or Any Circumstance In
Which He Should Again Be Can
didate For The Presidency.

Grover Cleveland has sent the
following letter to the editor of the
Brooklyn Eagle:
Princeton, N. J., Nov. IS, 1903.
My Dear Mr.. McKelway: 1 have
wanted for a long time to say some
thing which 1 think should be said
to you before others.
You can never know how grateful
1 am for the manifestation Of kindly
feeling toward me on the )'art of my
countrymen which you. initiative
has brought out. Your advocacy
in The Eagle Of my nomination for
the presidency came to me as
great surprise and it has been sec
onded i'll such manner by Demo
cratic sentiment that conflicting
thoughts of gratitude and duty have
caused the to hesitate as to the time
and manner of a declaration on nv
part concerning the subject-if such
declaration should seem necessary
ar proper.
In the midst of it all and in
full view of very consideration
presented, have not for moment
been able nor am 1 now able, to
open my mind to the thought that
IN any circumstances or upon any
consideration I should ever again
become the nominee of my party
for the presidency.
My determination not to do SO is
unalterable and conclusive.
This you at least ought to know
from me, and I should be glad if
The Eagle were made the medium
OF its conveyance to the public.
Very sincerely yours,
Grover Cleveland.

CONSTABLES NOT OMNIPOTENT.
Court On the Right of Constables to
Seize Liquor.

Columbia Cor. News and Courier.
There was an opinion of more
than general Importance filed on
Friday i'll the Supreme Court. Some
years ago it would have meant
Very much more than at present.
To-day there is but little Importance
to the right of importing
liquors into the State. The opin-
ion, however, establishes several
points. First, that liquor, whether
consigned to notorious" blindtigers"
or not, cannot be seized while in
tranlt, and that the right to bring
liquor into the State "for personal
usc' must he protected.
The next important, and perhaps
the most important, phase OF the
decision is that constables can be
sued not only OH their bond for
$500, bnt as individuals, for p,ni-
tive damages.
The case which brought about
the decision was heard in Green
vile, where Calvin Smith brought
all action against former Chief
Constable Lafar. The case was
there thrown out Of Court by sus-
tanning the demurrer, but the STU
preme Court reverses the decision
of the Circuit Court and holds that
the case is all right and that a suit
could be brought against Constable
Lafar as All individual, and need
not be brought against his official
bond, as damages greater than the
bond of $500 might be recovered,
as it was matter for the jury to
decide and that the facts are to be
presented to jury.
The excellent opinion in the case
was prepared by Associate Justice
Woods and is concurred in by the
entire Supreme Court.
1t is not necessary to give the ell
tire opinion, but few disconnected
extracts from the opinion, which
do not do justice to the paper, are
given.
The opinion rules, inter ALA, that
it is the duty Of dispensary con
stables to seize contraband liquor as
directed by the statute laws Of the
State. If, however, they seize liquor
not contraband they go beyond the
law and violate individual right.
If this is done wilfully and malic-
iously they are liable for punitive
damages. Liquor purchased in
another State and shipped to the
purchaser in this State is not con-
traband, being protected as an
article of Inter State commerce I'M
