ANNOUNCEMENTS
BREED THEATER.
The Danger Line, Superb Film d'Art.

The beautiful motion pictue shown at the Breed last evening entitled The Danger Line is one of the most art istfc dramatic films that has ever been produced and is obtained from a world famous French story, and. though broad and deep in its meaning, 1t IS intellisibly pictured by a talented cast. In it there is an appeal to every hu- man heart and inspiration to every soul Photographically and scenically it is the best that skill and art can produce. It is classic of it's kind. and Is easily one of the successes of the season.
 The Biograph offering is entitled A Child of the Ghetto, and depicts an entirely different phase of life, that of the sweat shops of Rivington street, New York. The characters are chosen with master Judgment, and the conse-- qrence is the whole atmosphere of this weirdly absorbing picture is albso- 1ute4y correct, inasmuch as several of the most eacting scenes take place on Rivington street, with it's horde or struggling human beings.
 A big western picture entitled The Cowboys Ward attracts and delights many. while the splendid singing Of Miss Clark in the brilliant song, Car issina,r' demands especial mention, as does her work in T Miss You, Sweet boart, More a>d More Each Day.

BIG CAR BARNS
To be Ready for Connecticut Company
 at Bridgeport August 1st.

NEW HAVEN ROLLING MILL. Cannot Be Operated at Profit
 Closed by Company.

The New Haven Iron and Steel company which announced three months ago that it intended to go out of business so far as it's plant in New Haven is concerned, has closed it's mills and it is uncertain whether they will reopen. General Manager Schall said last week that all the material which was on hand at the plant had been worked into finished product and that he was now awaiting action by the board of directors, which may be called together at-Philadelphia at any time.
 The concern is taking orders, for only such as it can fill out of stock already manufactured. The eight-inch rolling mill has been closed for several weeks but the ten-inch mill was operated up to last week. The company claims that it cannot operate the mill al a profit, hence the disposition to sell

The Track of the Storm.

The following essay on "a thunder storm by a 12-year- r-old author was given The Guardian for publication: The usual sign of a thunderstorm is the rapidly darkening sky. After a few seconds has elapsed a peal of thunder makes the very earth quiver while the trees trem5le and the houses shake Another second and flash of lightning vividly crosses the sky, lighting the whole earth for a mo ment, and then down gushes the rain till it touches the earth and the wind rustles silently through the trees. Then ensues a struggle between water and the things that bar it's rush down the . mountainside.
 Houses and cattle and women and children are all swept away by its inn petuous rush, leaving everything be- hind a desolate waste. Many lives are lost through a thunderstorm, and many silver and old medals won by people at the risk of their own lives. When at last the turbulent torrent has stop ped leaving destruction everywhere it little thinks of the damage it has done, and it is heartrending to hear the cries of the little ones who have no homes, no father and no mother. .-Manches- ter Guardian.

BURGLAR AND CROOK
TIM SHEEDY CAPTURED
At Troy, While Trying to Enter Res
idence-Escaped from Hartford Jail
Two Months Ago.

Troy, n. Y. Oct 13.-Tim Sheedy.
the burglar and crook, who has spent
half his life in prison and who escaped
two months ago from the Hartford,
Conn. Jail with 35 year sentence
hanging over his head. was captured in
this city tonight while effecting an en-
trance into the residence of a wealthy
family.
Two patrolmen while passing the
home of John l.. Russell on First street
heard a suspicious noise in an area be-
tween the Russell house and the resi-
dence adjoining. They found d man
crouclIing beneath a window. They
arrested him after hard fight, in
which he attempted to shoot the police
men. At the police station the police
discovered his identity. Sheedy adj
rlitted his identity and was locked up.
A revolver and jimmy were found on
him.
Sheedy. it seems, has been in this
vicinity for several days. His home is
in Watervliet. opposite this city. The
police. however, had no inllling of his
presence here. The authorities at
Hartford will be informed of his cap
ture at once.
The Russell family is one of the
weaIthist in Troy.
After being placed in his cell, Sheedy
attempted to commit suicide by strang
ling himself with a shoestring. He
was found unconscious on the hoor
about 2 o'clock this morning and was

DAMPER PUT ON SPIRITS
OF PARIS STRIKERS.
Arrest Of Some of the Most Prominent
Leaders.

Paris. Oct 13-The arrest of some
of the most prominent strike leaders
and the failure of the large majority Of
the employees OF the Eastern railraod,
the Paris. Lyons and Mediterranean
and the Paris Orleans roads to respond
to the strike order have had the effect
of dampening the sports of the strik
ers, who now number about 10000
men, and of encouraging the govern
nent to continue it's repressive meas
ures with a firm hand.
Many of those who have been called
to the colors have responded. but as
yet they have not been ordered to SER
vice on the railroads. The subway en-
ployes, who last night voted to strike,
remained at their posts today, there
by averting a very serious situation.
Tonight. however, the strike declar-
ed by the electricians is partially eff
fective. About half the city of Paris,
including sections of the boulevards. is
without electric light. and many cleo
tric cars are stranded for lack of pow
er
Owing to the energy of the premier
and the minister of public works. it has
been possible to maintain communica-
ton with the points from which food
supplies are brought into this city, and
these communications will be kept open
at any cost. Paris. therefore, is no
longer IN any danger Of starvation.
