SEATS ON GREEN
OCCUPIED THESE DAYS

Business must be dull in the shops,
else Waterbury is fast becoming the
home of many who can afford to live
without working. The seats on the
green were taxed to their full capacity
to-day and large numbers amused
themselves walking about the side
walks docking at the display of goods
in the different show windows. One
of the jokers on the green told a fell
low who inquired why he was idle all
summer that he long since had ac-
quired competence for himself and
his family and now spends most OF his
time waiting and watching for the
completion OF the new hotel until he
moves into a suite of rooms there. The
man may have been joking, but even
so the remark showed that he has
optimistic tendencies that help him~to
be happy under conditions that would
drive a person built along different
lines out of his wits.

PIERCE FLUNKED
Suits Against Liquor Deal
ers B0ndsmen Have
Been Withdrawn,

Prosecuting Agent Pierce didn't get
onto all the curves when he notified
several Hquor dealers ito appear In
court and show reasons why their
Ibondsmen should not be hauled over
the Goals because the men whom they
had indorsed had been up for viola
lions of the excise law. The thing
created lot Of excitement and every
body was wondering how it would
come out. The suits have been drop
ped and the prosecutor has written to
the different parties who had eben cit=
ed in, stating that after looking up the
matter with the clerk of the city court
he finds that all of the parties re
ceived certificates from the court ex-
onerating them from any liability on
accountsof the action taken against
the dealers whose papers their names
appear on. Mr. Pierce winds I'D his
communication with a remark to the
effect that he congratulates the alleged
victims on their narrow escape from a
case which was sure to end In conyic-
tion 1t now remains to be seen what
the dealers who put up their good
money to defend themselves against a
fight that didn't come off will do.
There was no case against them and
many of them feel that it is only fair
that somebody should pay them back
what the mistake cost them. They
can't get it, though.

A MOMENT TOO LATE.
Well Known Contractor Lost a Neal
of Cabbage.


Contractor Daniel Altman had a
peculiar experience this morning. He
was sitting in his team on Grand
street, opposite the new postoffice
building when he saw fine head Of
cabbage further down the street. and
after watching it for a few minutes
and seeing nobody appearing to claim
it he drove on remarking as he went
that he was going to pick up that
head of cabbage before team
squashed it. He touched the horse
with the whip and was within a lap
or two of the prize when a man COM
ing the other way stepped from tue
sidewalk and tucked the cabbage un-
der his arm and walked away The
contractor pretended he hadn't seen it
at all, but those who were on the
ground and know him well, say that
he never wore a more detected coun-
tenance when he found himself sec
ond lowest bidder on a good job than
he did when he saw himself euchered
out OF that head of cabbage, not be-
cause he cared anything in particular
about 1t, but on account Of what he
knew spectators would say. The
workmen on the postof1ce block and
others gave the contractor a great ha
ha, but he never came back

Balfour Says Acute
Stage Is Passed
The Russian Volunteer
Fleet of the Red Sea Will
be Withdrawn Russia
Ready and Willing to
Make ReparatiOn.

London, July 2S.-In the house of
commons this afternoon, Premier Bal
four, confirming the announcements
made in these dispatches, said the
acute stage Of the Red sea incidents
had passed, and that the Russian vol
unteer fleet vessels would be with
drawn. He laid down the British view
that no belligerent warship could issue
from the Black sea and that the volun-
teer vessels in issuing therefore, If
they took belligerent action, either had
no right to issue or no right to take
such action.
The tension in the Russo British re-
lations has been relaxed and no rup-
ture is now probable. Count Bencken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador to
Great Britain. informed Lord Lans-
downe this morning that Ifs Russia had
committed a wrong she was ready and
willing to make full reparation, but
before any action could be- taken in
the Knight Commander case the RUS
sian government must have the oppor-
tunity Of receiving the. report of the
commander of the Vladivostok squad
ron. Lord 'Lansdowne was not dis
posed to unduly press the matter and
promised to wait reasonable time.

TROLLEY STOPPED SHORT
And Judge Cowell Had to Walk Most
OF the Distance.

Judge Cowell went out for a ride
and walk last evening. He didn't
have as much of the former as he ex-
pected, but he got more Of the latter
than he bargafned for The Judge
supposed that the Baldwin street troll
ley extended as far as Luke street,
where he had planned to alfght and
take Q strell along that street and
Sylvan avenue to his cottage in Mo-
hawk park. He boarded a car at
Exchange place and was whirled
along as far as Washington street.
He didn't mind the stop until he no.
tced the conductor changing the pole
and then 1T daWned on him that he
would have, to climb the hill on foot
or return with his intended mission
half carried out. What to do he
didn't know, but finally he decided to
press forward. BY the time he got
out there he found that the weather
was warmer than he thought and he
would gladly have given a hackman a
handsome fee for ride home, but
he couldn't find such a person and
had to tramp 1t both ways. TO make
things worse the street department
had a yoke of oxen at work there
yesterday ploughing up the troad and
the judge had to stumble over rocks
and other obstructions for nearly half
the distance. Years ago when Judge
Cowell used to pass that way he knew
most of the residents, but it is differ
ent now. The faces are new to him
and he finds himself q stranger where
once he could call everybody he met
By name.

READY TO MAKE TERMS.

Chicago, July %. Although repre-
sentatives of the packing companies
declare that no further agreements
with their striking employees are de-
sired and that no negotiations with
them are contemplated, rumors are per-
sistent that two Of the big companies,
Schwarzschild & Sulzeberger and the
Cudahy Packing Co, are ready to
make terms with the men.
i The effects of the strike ON the local
trade has begun to be felt in Chicago
and from now on it is promised that
1T will be more pronounced. The pick
citing heretofore has been confined to
the packing plants and the stock yards
district, deliveries of meat from the
branch warehouses in different parts
of the city not being interefered with,
but now the strikers say these points
as well as the wholesale markets Of
the big companies will be picketed and
an effort made to tie up all distribu-
tions.

rAKING sTR1KERs, PLACEs.

Chicago, July 23.-According to the
employers there are 13,4T9 men at
work in the big packing plants here
to-day, taking the places of more than
$4,000 strikers. Reports that the
freight handlers in the employ Of the
Chicago junction railway company
went on strike yesterday, were denied
to-day by the officers of that COM
pany.
While aboard trolley car Fred
Matthews a colored strike bfeakey
was pursued and attacked by
crowd OF strike sympathizers who
pounded him without mercy. Mat
thews's assa1lants seeing that they
would be overtaken jumped to the
ground and fed. No arrests were
made.
Arthur Meker. Of the Armour
company to-day declared that the
answer given by the packers at the
conference with the state board of
arbitrators last night, reflected in its
entirety the position of the packers
and the statement attributed to him
that they were willing to go back to
the agreement entered into with Mr.
Donnelly's organization, was entirely
unfounded.
According TO President Skinner Of
the Onion stock yards and transit
company six hundred strike handlers
became disgusted with the prospects
of the strike to-day and and returned
to work caring for the live stock.

After a long pause superintendent
Hotchkiss has made up his mind to do

SYMPATHETIC STRIKERS
WERE CUT OFF TO-DAY
Swift 9 Co. Have Given Them Notice That They Are
No Longer Looked Upon Employees Rumors
in Circulation To-Day That Two OF the Big Conn
panies Are Trying to Arbitrate With Their nen.

Chicago, July 2S.-FolIowirg the
refusal to enter into more agreements
with the striking workmen at the
stock yards, Swift & Co tossed a
bomb into the camp of the sympa-
thetic strikers belonging to tho allied
trades by posting public notice that
they are no longer regarded in the
light of employees.
The appearance of the notice was
greeted with angry ordinations from
the crowds that soon gathered to read
and discuss the move. The place
named for the men to apply for their
money is outside the stock yards
proper, at Halsted street and Ex-
change avenue. 1t was selected as az
fording the least possibilities Of dis
order.
Shortage in the soap supply, par
ticularly laundry, hotel and the cheap
er grades of toilet soap, is one Of the
possibilities of the strike. In antici-
patton of such an event the packers
operating soap plants have bQen busy
for days moving stocks Of soap to
warehouses, Jobbing houses and to
retail stores. The packers were
equipped with large stocks but were
afraid a teamsters' strike would pre-.
vent it's renewal.
