Chapel Street Brokers Men Wanted h.
 creased Pay.

Chapel Street Brokers Men Wanted In-
 creased Pay.
 Four members of the Commercial telegraphers, who asked for an increase in wages and were employed by John Moran, the broker on Chapel street, were locked out yesterday morning.
 The brokerage firm, of which MT. Moran is the state manager, depends on it's service from this city for much of it's market news, and the sudden dis charge of it's local operators handicap ped the service for awhile yesterday morning, but after scurrying around town two operators were secured after others had refused the work when they learned of the trouble in the office. MT. Morans men, it is said, asked for an in crease of from $25 week to $2750 a week. The demand was turned down, and when Sylvester J. Small, the presi- dent of the union, who came from Chi cago and has been here several days trying to organize a local called on Mir, Moran, the latter informed him that he would not treat with him, and that the best thing he could do was to take his men off the job,
 President Small stated yesterday that he would remain in this city several days to combat the action of MT. Moran.
 MT. Moran said that he did not dis charge the operators because they be- longed to the union, but because he wanted to get operators who he thought would give him better service.

CHEFS IN KNIFE FIGHT.
Jealousy Between Night and Day Mei

Jealousy Between Night and Day Men
 at Yale Dairy Lunch Breaks Out.
 Jealousy which has existed between the day and night chefs at the Yale Dairy Lunch, at the corner of Chapel and High streets, broke out into open hostilities when the night chef, Charles Hayes, appeared at the restaurant ill a fighting mood. Some words ensued between him and the day chef, Albert Page, of Congress avenue, who was just about to get through for the day
 According to Page, who was seen by a reporter last night, Hayes snatched up a knife and rushed at him. Page managed to take away the knife and forced Hayes downstairs.
 Hayes returned, it is stated, and tried again to injure Page, but he was fought off. During the scuffle Page fell and bruised his legs.
 A telephone message notified the po- lice, and Sergeant Cook sent Detectives McGrath and Dunlap to the scene in the hurry-up wagon. Hayes, however had disappeared and the detectives failed to find him. His escape was made by way of the cellar and back door.
 The jealousy between the men began when Page was assigned to day duty about two weeks ago. Hayes had been day man previous to that time during the light summer business, but on the return of the Yale students and an in creased trade he had been put on night duty by W. w. Rice, the proprietor of the restaurant.
 Page also said last night that Hayes had had trouble with other employees of the place. He said the difficulty would not keep him from returning to his work tomorrow morning. Both men are colOred,

 Common sense is just as necessary (even more so) in medicine as in bus mess or the affairs of every day life People are getting to know more than they used to. Not so long ago. it was the fashion to make all sorts of claims for medicine, and wind up by asking the reader to go to a drug store and buy a bottle. People won't stand for that kind of thing now, They want proof-tangible proof. They want to try the remedy first and if they find it to be what is claimed they will be glad enough to go and buyit
 That is why we say to every person suffering from piles or any form of rectal disease, send us your name and we will gladly send you a free trial package. For we know what the re- suit will be, After using the trial you will hurry to your nearest druggist and get soc box of Pyramid Pile Cure. now admitted by thousands to be one of the most wonderful reliefs and cures for Piles ever known.
 Please excuse my delay in writing to you sooner in regard to what your Pyramid Pile Cure has done for me. I consider it one of the finest medicines in the world for piles. 1 suffered un- told misery for four months when my wife begged me to send for a 5Oc box.

I order it from the Pyramid Drug Go. to be sure of the cure. Tell all about this fine remedy for piles.

WEST HAYEs CONDUCTOR KIL1-
 ED.
Edwin J. Harvey Struck by Bar Har-
 bor Express.

DOT E&pE6SS.
 Edwin J. Harvey of 225 Campbell avenue, West Haven, conductor on the New Haven road, was struck by the be- lated Bar Harbor express at Nauga- tuck Junction about 2 o'clock yester- day morning and received injuries which resulted in his death an hour lat CT.
 Harvey was a well known railroad man and his death came as a shock to a legion of friends in this city. He had been with the railroad company in it's freight service for the last fifteen years, and it was about seven years ago that he was made conductor. Re- gently he had been running on a work train out of this city early in the morn ing, which was used in transporting gravel from Naugatuck Junction to points along the New York division, where the company's improvements re- quired this material,
 Harvey was experimenting the work of loading his cars, and was businly en- gagged, when, as he stepped out be- tween two of them to the west bound track, the Bar Harbor, which was a half hour late in leaving this city, hit him. He was thrown through the air about thirty feet, and in falling landed on the abutments of the new bridge across the Housatonic river
 MT. Harvey was a member of the Order of Railroad Conductors, Odd Eel lows and other fraternal orders. He leaves a widow and one son, Edwin H Harvey.

Attorney DeweH of Starin Company
 Claims Limitation of Liability.
 A hearing was held in the United States District court, sitting in admir- atty, before Clerk Charles E. Pickett appointed by Judge Platt to hear evil dence and testimony in the suit of John H. Starin, to restrain and obtain in- junction against further proceedings in state courts to obtain damages for injury or loss because of the accident to the Steamer Erastus Corning in 1903 off South Norwalk. Edwin o. Deats, marine superintendent for Mir. Starln, and Captain John LenoX, marine en- gineer and purchasing agent, both tes- tified as to the value of the steamer before and after the wreck. They val ued the steamer at $20000 before the wreck, and at about $15,O00 after. This testimony is necessary to satisfy the court as to the value of the properey, otherwise the vessel would have to be surrendered.
 The present hearing is the outcome of several suits brought against the John 1T. Starn Transportation company, as a result of the Corning running upon a sunken obstruction on her midnight voyage to New York on December 22, 1903. Passengers were landed in life boats, and one Raffaele Granucii of New York is suing. for I00O damages for exposure and loss of baggage. MT. Startn's attorney James D. Dewell, is contesting this and other suits, claim ing that by reason of the United States revised statutes ill relation to the limi- tation of liability of vessel owners he is not liable for sumh damages. MT. Edwin A. Rodgers of this city is rep resenting Converse and Kirlin, admir- atty lawyers of New York, for the jlain- tilfs, in the suits against MT. Starln.
