BROWNS TIMELY NOTICE.
Warns Electric and Telephone Peo-
 pie to Keep Away.

If everybody had the fighting quail ties of R. K. Brown and the collateral necessary to purchase ammunition, private corporations who Are now reaping rich harvest out of the use of the public streets would be obliged to pay for the privilege of operating on them, just the same as a grocer comes down with rent for his store and manufacturing concern hands over its cash for place to conduct business in. When MT Brown saw the trolley people starting to tear up Exchange place preparatory to put ting in new switches, and read in the papers that the Southern New Eng land Telephone Go had been given per mission to lay conduits wherever 1t pleased through the public ways he had consultation with his attorney and after talking the matter over the limb of the law agreed with Mir Brown that the city simply has an easement over the streets and that is all. 1t cannot turn them over to others without the consent of the abutting property owners.
 If anybody wants to do business on MT Browns property, whether on the street in front of his stores and of- fees or nay part of the blocks, they will have to pay. Tn order that no mistake might be made by the big corporations MT Brown notified them not to come nearer his property than the center of the street and as re- suit of this notice the workmen who have the job of putting down the new tracks for the trolley company wouldn't think of letting bar fall on that side of the street. It is about the only place in the city where there is not pole of any sort and there is not likely to be any, for the corpora ton recognizes the fact that 1t has no rights in front of a mans property without coming to an understanding with him and they give such people a wide berth. The trolley company, the telephone company and like cor porations have their eyes open and know where to stop. Even the c1gy will be triHe more careful in the flu ture about how it treats MT Brown, for 1t will always have very forcfble reminder of what 1t means to meddle with edged tools when 1t thinks over how 1t fared with MT Brown in con nection with the Little brook conduit imbroglio in which the city came oil. second best.
 Of course the trolley company couldn't do business In that particular spot without coming to some under standing with sNr Brown, and the presence of a few trolley wires at tached to the Brown block is sufficient evidence that an arrangement has been reached which enables the cosn- pany to find support for it's wires without setting up poles. Just what consideration the company paid for fastening its wires to the Brown building is something nobody appears to know, but the knowing ones claim that the small space occupied by the fastening for wires on the side Of the structure is the best paying piece of property R. K. Brown owns in Water bury.

BIG STRIKE TO END.
Packers and Stockyards Hen May
 Settle Trouble.

Packers and Stockyards Hen Hay
 Settle Trouble.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Indications are that the stockyards strike, begun two months ago, may be called off within twenty-four hours. Through the me- dium of a middleman negotiations have been begun in an effort to secure an understanding with the packers on which the striking unions can rely as basis for abandoning the strike to- day. It was admitted last night by Secretary Tracey of the Allied Trades council of unions on strike that a mes- sage opening such negotiations had been delivered to representatives of the packing firms by w. B. Skinner, general agent of the Union Stockyards and Transit company, acting as a mid- dleman.
 According to the plans an answer is to be submitted today by the. packers In time for it to be reported at spe- cial meeting of the AlNed Trades coun- cil. This meeting has been called for this morning. Special meetings for all the local unions involved in the strike have been called for today. If the packers give encouraging assur- ances to the strikers, messengers will be sent at once to the gatherings of the local bodies The unions, it is said, will then vote on discontinuing the strike, and their referendum vote will be reported at once to the meeting of the Allied Trades council.
 An understanding was arrived at by which the men will meet and vote on the question of calling off the strike. According to the plans made, they will be instructed to cast their ballots in the affirmative.
 These plans have been made with se- crecyA and care. They originated a week ago in Chicago with certain of the packers and of the conservative la bor leaders. Fearing the execution of the scheme would fail if attempted in Chicago, it was determined to make the first move in New York. | The ending of the strike in the east ern city by the vote of the men was this first step. The settlement there made is the same as that now proposed for Chicago.
 The following. are. the chief points of the arrangenfent:
 The unions to call off the strike The packers to re-employ as many of the strikers as they can give work to and to give preference to the former employees in the future, as many of the new workers who wish to remain to be retained.
 l Wages of the skilled men to remain | at the rate paid before the strike.

The LOdO SAIGIluS uhSGbttGu country, and box cars have been trans formed into rough houses on wheels, and the Peppers will spend their hon. eymoon in one of these.

PLEHvE's ASSASSIN ESCAPES.
sassonen by a Clever Coup Got Out
 of Prison.

Se~SeO~ASAA
 of Prison.
 LONDON, Sept. 5.--A special dis patch from St. Petersburg says that by a daringly conceived coup on the part of his friends Sassoneff, the mur- derer of M. von Plehve, succeeded in escaping from prison.
 Early Saturday morning two men, apparently officers of high rank, ac- companied by an army surgeon and two gendarmes, presented themselves at the prison with note alleged to be from Minister of Justice Muravieff. The forged note sanctioned the re moval of Sassoneff, who assassinated Minister of the Interior Van Plehve with an internal machine few weeks ago.
 The prison officials were completely taken in and handed over the assassin, who was driven away in the most de- liberate manner.
 Nothing has been heard since then either of Sassoneff or the bogus off, cers.
 The letter presented at the prison was a clever forgery, written. upon of ficial paper of the ministry of justice.

LOUIS HUSs'S MONEY.
Roll of It nysseriously Dissppearsd
 Saturday Night.

Miss Alice Connorton, cashier ah the meat market of Louis Huss on South Main street, having in her pos session $804 of her employers money. last Saturday night, which aAr Bass requested her to carry home so that there would be no fear of him beina held up and robbed while on the way home later, is to-day in a dilemma as to what became of the roll. Miss Connerton carried a couple of other parcels. On the way home she called at the residence of John IT. Egan. lD2 North Main street leaving as she sup- posed the parcels, including the ono containing the money on the table, while she spent short time talking about costumes with Miss Egan. When she got ready to start for horno the money was missing and has not been heard from since Nobody can account for it's disappearance, but it is believed that some smart person entered the house through the rear door and made off with it. Miss Con merton is a sisterein-law to MT Huss and a very trusted employe. The easa was reported at the police station.
 While Miss Connerton is positive she had the money package when she called at the Egan home it is barely possible that she may have dropped 1t before reaching there. And again there are others of the opinion that some one who knew she had tlae money shadowed her, for the purpose of waylaying and robbing her, bud finding an easier way out of it got the package after she laid it down at the Egan house. The police ara working on the case but have no ciew thus far.
 The theory of the police Is that thd one who has the money knew Miss Connerton was accustomed to carrN the cash returns home with -her, and they say that 1t was very good thing for her that the thief got the money az he dfd else she would have been tha victim of terrible assault.
