WATERBURY QUIETING DOWN Strike Lender Keep Their Men OB Street, and Help to Preserve Or der Elaborate Precaution of Militia. WATERBURT. Conn., Feb. 4.-Stormy weather and extra precaution on the part of the authorities carried Waterbury through the dangerous hours of the night without the serious trouble that was con fidently expected to mark and mar this payday night. The day brought no vio lence, the night but little. As the cars were on their last trips, there occurred a little riot and mldlers are authority for the statement that guns were fired by law lets persons. The record of actual dam age, however, was better than that of the previous nights of this week. There were Instances of missile-throwing and car win dows suffered as usual. The feature of the day was the arrival Of a Sheriff's posjic of 20 deputies, most of whom were employed In riding In pairs on passengcrless trolley cars. The system atic patrol of the city by police and militia va? much more effective tonight than be fore and, when midnight arrived. It looked os If the military protection afforded was adequate. Not the least Important factor, perhaps, in the Interests of order were the efforts put forth by the strikers to keep their men from the streets. The people In the city dreaded tonight. They feared the injection into the situa tion of the element of money and what money will buy. LasfSaturday was pay day for thousands of Waterbury's workers and it is affirmed that the riot of that night was a result of not unusual payday carousals. Wednesday Is a wage-day for as many more thousands of the city's em ployes, and the logic of the thing seemed to point to this night as one of menacing possibilities. AH told, the day had been uneasy, and it was with great relief that TVaterburyans heard the news from the state Capital this afternoon that Governor Chamberlain-had decided not to withdraw the troopd tonight. So far as the peace of the city was con cerned, the day has been a quiet one. A heavy downpour of rain kept Idlers within doors. The military headquarters were equipped with a telephone system reaching out to every Important point in the strike terri tory. The Signal Corps put into place powerful arc lights at the car barns and powerhouse, and similar apparatus in the tall building on South Main street near headquarters, thus making possible through the corps communication by light signals and removing some of the handi caps imposed by darkness. The afternoon brought out another ef fort on the part of the clergy to Induce a compromise conference between the offl clals of the company and the strikers. The clergymen waited upon Colonel Burpee, but their mission. It Is said, was fruitless. FIELD DAY WITH FIGURES. Coal Companies' Statisticians Under Fire of Miners' Lnwjer. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4. Several In teresting incidents occurred during- to-daya-?eesslons-,of .the Anthracite--Coal Strike Commission.-- sThe morning session was enlivened by the- rigid cross-examination of H. D. Hewcomb, a statistician of the Reading Company, by Attorney Dar row for the miners, and a spirited pass age between the lawyer and the witness. Several times Chairman Gray felt Impelled to Interfere, on behalf of the witness, ad monishing counsel to be less severe In his criticisms of Newcomb'a statements and figures. At the afternoon session counsel for the operators intimated that the other side was endeavoring to break Its agreement with the operators regarding, the basis of percentage in arriving at a definite con clusion as to the earnings of contract miners. Numerous witnesses have tes tified that the operators' statements pre sented to the commission show only the gross earnings of the contract miners, and fail to account for the division of money with the helpers. Counsel for the oper ators admitted that the books accounted for the wages paid to the contract miners only, as the laborers were paid by the miners, -mis lact Having been previously stated to the commission, and an agree ment having been reached by both sides as to the manner of making deductions In order to learn as nearly as possible the actual earnings of the miners, the oper ators' counsel characterized as farcical the calling of so many witnesses to at tack the company's figures. Charles Nell, assistant recorder of the commission, was asked by Chairman Gray to state the agreement, and at the con clusion of Mr. Neil's statement, the chair man said the parties to tha controversy could not make agreements which would necessarily be acceptable to the commis sion, although the Intention was clearly for the purpose of facilitating the inves tigation. Chairman Gray decided that the miners were entitled to produce witnesses to elucidate the operators' figures. The miners expect to conclude their evidence tomorrow. The testimony of miners employed by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the Pennsylvania Coal Company and the Temple Iron Company occupied much -of the time of today's session. THEY VOTE TO STRIKE. Trainmen Reject Compromise Ottered, by Western Honda. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1. Two thousand trainmen Whose leaders have been In conference in St. Louis during the past month' have voted to reject the offer of approximately 10 per cent In wages, and have authorized their, representatives to declare a strike If their demands for 20 per cent are not granted. Almost 3000 other employes will vote soon on the same question, and It Is ex pected they will take the same action. Officials and representatives of the men declare emphatically, however, that noth ing less that a 30 per cent Increase will be accepted. The railway officials say the demand Is unreasonable. Further conferences will be held. Officials of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas, and the Mis BOurTPaclflc will meet Messrs. Garretson and Morrissey, representing the unions to see If the difficulties can be settled amicably. Frisco and Cotton Belt employes who also made demands for 20 per cent In crease have not taken action on the offer of the railways. It Is understood that this offer Is a 10 per cent increase, and Its rejection is anticipated. FIGHT AT A SHIPYARD. Union and Xon-Unlon -en Throir - Vollles of Stones. ELIZABETH. N. J., Feb. i. There was a hot fight at Ellzabethport last night between nonunion men employed at Townsend & Downey's shipyard on Shoot er's Island and a gang of ironworkers on strike there, who live in Elizabeth. ThJ latter lay in wait for the nonunion men and when they left the Jersey Central wharf, where the steamer landed them from the shipyard, they were attacked with volleys of stones. Then a fusillade of shots was exchanged, fired by both aides, but .only one man was hit: He vras a driver, who happened to be passing the scene at the time on his wagon. He was shot through the foot. Several nonunion men were hit by the flying stones, but only one was severely injured. He was badly teat on the head. OPPOSE "SHOOTERS' RILL." Operators Will XotTnllc Wages Until It Is Withdrawn. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Feb. 4. The operators of the soft coal fields who have been in conference with the wage scale committee of the United Mlneworkers' or ganization at 1 o'clock today notified the miners' committee that it would be a waste of time to consider further the scale for the next year until the "shooters' bill." now pending 'In the Indiana Legis lature, is withdrawn. The bill provides for blasting after the miners have left the mines. The operators say this proposed law would greatly Increase the cost of mining, and they told the miners they must have the objectionable bill with drawn. The Indiana situation is now the chief obstacle to a wage agreement for the next year. WILL GIVE FAIR IXCREASE. Rut Ripley, of Santa Fe, Says Train men Ask Too Much. TOPEKA, Kan.. Feb. 4.

"There will be no trouble In making a settlement with the trainmen." he said, "so long as they are reasonable, but we may as well understand It first as last that the proposition cannot be granted."

Men's Diseases There Is no afety In a partial cure. There may be a sense of safety, but with out the reality. The patient may believe himself cured, though constantly drifting toward a relapse or a chronic stage. In all our work, thoroughness is given its due consideration. The new and striking ly original methods of treatment we have developed and perfected are more ample and comprehensive than those commonly employed. They meet even the most mi nute details of those ailments to which they apply, and are readily modified ac cording to the requirements of Individual cases. Because our treatment is ample, scientific and thorough, our cures are complete and lasting, and our patients have no relapses. For the same reason .we are usually able to cure in much less time than Is commonly required in obtain ing but partial results. i Specific Blood Poison Pome doctors dose the system with mineral poisons scarcely less danr.erous than the disease itself. The best they hope to do by this treatment Is to keep the disease from manifesting Its presence upon the surface of the body. Under our treatment the entire system Is cleansed. The last taint of virus is destroyed. Every symptom vanishes to appear no more. We employ harmless blood-cleansing remedies heretofore unknown in the treat ment ot this disease. They cure by neutralizing and absolutely de stroying the poison In the system. Such cures cannot be otherwise than complete and permanent. Contracted Disorders We cure every case of contracted disorder we treat. Our patients, have no relapses. No case is so trivial that It should not have the best treatment, as mild neglected cases are the ones which work back to the prostate gland most frequently ana cause loss of vital power. We will guarantee to cure every case that we treat so It will stay cured, as well as do It In half the usual time required. S3
