iNflNli THE WITNESSES
Doctors. Dirloes and Lawyers on the
Siaallellehalhf Notaries—Ir.
Mansfield, of the Tramway,
leedssIeagtthrge-est.
The hearing before the Railer
Commissioners, W. F. Wilcox, of Chas.
ter; W. 0. Seymour. of Ridgefield. and
0. it. Tyler. of Torragton. in response
to a petition to compel the Norwalk
Tramway Company to place vestibules
on its care. was held today in the
Council Chamber, in South Norwalk.
Some forty people. interested on both
sides of the case. were present.
Attorney Joseph A. Gray wee. the
first witness. He considered it for the
interest of the employees of the road
to have something to protect them
fro: the wind, especially when the
ca travel at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour. in facing the sharp
wind at that rate. and during storms,
some protection should be afforded the
men who had the lives of the passen-
gers in the car in his protection.
Attorney Warner, representing the
Tramway Company. said Mr. Gray
spoke of cars traveling at the rate of
twenty-five miles, and wind traveling
at the same rate, making fifty miles
“an hour. . .
Mr. Grey said he simply cited'that
as an example. Hemthought cars fre-
quently ran at that speed. or even at
a greater speed. He did not know
that'windows had to be lowered in
case of a storm so that the motorman
could see ahead of him.
Dr. L. N. Phinney thought vestibules
should be placed on the cars for the
season that storms were, severe, cold
and windy. and he did not see how men
could endure it. He said a motorman
who had worked on a Vestibule car,
said snow and sleet never collected on
the lass, and a motorman could see
Elan-uh m better, with glass in front or
., « i “than without.
’a
o
I
, Town Clerk Herbert R. Smith con-
idered that it was for the benefit of
~ e motorman to have vestibules; he
[did not see how the men stood the
'old; if it were he he should freeze
stiff, and fall off the car.
Selectman Merrill considered vesti-
buies safest for the public, as well as
much more comfortable for the m0<
torman. He was in the habit of get-
ting on the cars at the extreme end of
the line. In shifting the trolley. find
when the conductor and motorman
changed the wind swept through the
car and made it decidely cold. He had
fl‘iequentiy had the motorman as him
to take off their gloves; they w re so
cold they could not no so them lves.
Dr. S. H. Huntington considered the
cold injurious to the health of the
men: and that_they were not in con-
dition to properly manage the car. and
protect the passengers with safety. He
knew of cases where men had been
frost-bitten or caught severe colds.
Attorney Warner asked the witness
if motorman were not, as a rule. the
healthiest set of men in the commu-
nity. .
The witness relied that they had to
be to stand the weather.
Rev."Wililam Maher. D.D., said his
opinion for the past ten years has
been that these motormen should be
protected. Men whom he had seen on
cars without vestibulcs appeared to be
suffering severely-from the cold. Their
features would be swollen and eyes
red. even though they had the protec-
tion of icing—glass lenses frequently
worn by motorman. He did not think
the snow and sleet on the glass of ves-
tibulés interfered with the sight of mo-
tormcn. as railroad engineers ran
through such storms. with the win-
we closed. at a speed of forty-five
lies an hour.
Rev. F. W. Norris said he had no
expert testimony. His views simply
appealed to human suffering. A man
on the front end of a car. with the
thermometer a few degrees oelow
sero. could not render to others the
assistance he should when lives in
their keeping were in peril.
Alfred Hefner said a junction of't‘he
Tramway Company was near his place
of business. and the motormen fre-
quently came into his store. thorough-
ly chilled through and utterly helpless;
he had seen as many as three on
with their faces frost-n. He thought.
for the best interest of the public, the
motormen should have vestibules.
in reply to a question by Attorney
Warner. Mr. Hefner said the frosen
men were Albert Bloomquist, John
[sells and Frank Hell.
Rev. 8. L. Beiler thought humani-
tarian principles called for the protec-
tion of men. especially on some of the
grades. when a man should be at his
but. and able to take care of'the pub-
lic in the cars. .
Dr. E. V. . Pardee thought corpor-
ations shoud provide for the em-
pioyees and make them as comfortable
as possible. it seemed cruel to place
men in the position motormen were
for so long a time without relief.
Frederick Scheldle said he had
shaved several men anected with-the
Tramway Company during the past
winter. and had found two of them

They came here wtih the intention

goods well worth the prices asked, cut-

liberal petronage‘ they are receiving.
has made it necessary for this firm to
also occupy the door above the store
which they originally hired. and clear-
ly shows that they have fully carried
out their intentions.
As the date of their first anniversary
in the business field of South Norwalk
approaches. more numerous grows the
daily letters and verbal expressions
from their customers. wishing them'
continued prosperity and assuring
them of further favors. Right here
the company wishes to express sincer-
est appreciations for such unsolicited
good greeting. for what to note en-
couraging that the knowledge that
one's efforts are recognised.
it may not be generally known, but
nevertheless it is true. that they have
also built up a large outside trade, fur-

ces.
Now being fully acquainted with~the
wants of the ladies of this vicinity.
the public may feel confident that the

may see fit to purchase from them.

Mrs. George Farrsr, the colored wo-
man of Long Hill. who it was said has
been treated by Christian Scientists of
that place. is now at the Bridgeport
hospital, lncurabiy afflicted with tuber-
culosis of the stomach. Mrs. Farrer’s
days are numbered. yet with a cheer-
iulness that is certainly worthy of the
highest commendation. she feels and
believes that she is on the road to re-
covery, and all because she has faith
in the omnipotence of the Lord.
it is some time since she was first
taken ill. Dr. Seth Hill was called by
her husband. a humble farmer, whose
frugal methods have enabled him to
build a snug homefor himself about
two miles from the main road in Long
lllll. Mrs. Farrer is but twenty-four
years old, and has been married four
years. "We were not blessed ,with any
children and indeed, seeing how my
wife is nigh to death. i am rather glad
we were not, although for a time I
was mighty sorry." were the words or
the plain spoken, honest looking col-
orcd man. as he talked to a Farmer re-
porter in front of his home~yesterday.
"Yes. it is true my wife was treated
by two of those Christian preachers.
said he. "i did not want to interfere.
sceln' as how she was so poorly. for i
thought it might discourage her. When
i came home one night and found that
my wife had thrown out more than $30
worth of drugs that i had bought i
was angry. but i did not let her see it.
Those women are Mrs. Sherman and
Mrs. Eben Lyon.
"They came to the house and exhort-
~d my wife to prayer, and she prayer.
day and night. it seemed to me that
if prayer would save a being as was
goin' to die. then Mrs. h‘arrar would
surely get well. But it didn't do her
tiny” good that i can see. and for that
matter i didn't know as it did her
much harm.
"So long as my wife wanted those
women. i did not think! should say
anything against it but i felt as if it
was a waste of time. i don't take
much stock in such things myself.
When a doctor can't do one who is sick
any good. i have my doubts whether
wonrcnvwho come in and sing and pray
can be of much service. it didn't do
Mrs. Farrar much good as i can see
and i guess it is the same in the gen-
eral run of cases."
Mrs. Sherman. one of the two alleged
healers. was visited by the reporter.
She stood watching her children. a
merry little group as they played in
the autumn sun on a hill just beyond
the house. Mrs. Sherman is a pleasant
jaccd woman, and when she was made
aware of the reporter's mission. she
willingly vouchsefed such information
as was deemed important. in the first
place she asked that it be stated tnat
she was not a Christian Scientist if she
understood correctly what that school
teaches.
“As I understand it," said Mrs. Shor-
man. "Christian science denies the di-
vinity of Christ. They believe He was
a good holy man. out not divine. That
doctrine is repugnant to me. for i be-
lieve Christ was divine. i believe in
the power and efilcar'y of prayer. and
am unshaken in my belief that prayer
can often succeed in effccting cures
where drugs fail. in order, naturally.
to be cured or assisted. one must have
perfect faith. Without it there can be
no cure,~and all efforts‘in that direc-
tion are a mere waste of time.
"in trcating Mrs. Farrsr. Mrs. Lyon
and myself spent hours at her bedside
praying and praising the Lord for His
goodness. Poor Mrs. h‘nrrar was a pa-
tnent sufferer. and willingly joined
with us in our exhortatlons. She
seemed so intent. too. that we labored
with her as fervently as our strength
would permit. You must remember
that before we went there. Mrs. Farrar
sent for us. anrl that in giving up thc
doctor to trrlst in Christ for relief. she
was not‘ primarily influenced by either
of us. i consider her a very sick wo-
man. yet i am not prepared to say that
if she continues her applications to
Christ she may not yet be relieved."
At the hospital it was said the wo-
man was receiving medical attention.
and had said nothing about Christian
Science.

The Fourth regiment can be sent to
New York to participate in the Dewey
Day parade at about half the expense
that will attach itsel fro the trip of
.thcr Connecticut regiments. if the
regiment goes by boat from Bridge-
port or by rail. a reduction in tne
'ates will doubtless be made. it will

hat the officers and men of the regi-
ncnt are enthusiastic over the pros-
pect of participating in the Dewey

rfiicers think the Common Council will
rppropriate a sum towards paying the
expenses of the companies in that
-lty. and others thought the councils
if Stamford, Danbury and The Nor-

The plan of starting public subscrip-

sic Hsll. the scene of the Civic Federa-
tion Congress of Trusts and Combina-
tions. the lest session of which will he
held tonight. was packed from pit to
gallery today when W. J. Bryan deliv-
ered his reply to W. Bourke Cocxran
on the trust question. it was report-
ed that Mr. Bryan had a set of resolu-
tions up his sleeve. presumably antag-
onistic to trusts as they now exist.
But the Nebraskan denied this when
seen by a representative of the Assoc-
iated Press.
"l have none prepared," said he.
“and i am not sure whether i shall
prepare any for presentation."
Mr. Bryan was introduced by Gov-
cruor Stanley. of Kansas. who acted
its chairman of the opening session.
Wild applause greeted the Nebraskan.
W. Bourke Cockran listened intently
and joined frequently in the applause.
Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows:
"Within two years more trusts have
been organized than in the previous
history of the country and the people
now come face to face with this ques-
tion: is the trust a blessing or a
curse? if a curse. what remedy can
be applied to the curse?
"Monopoly in private hands is inde-
fensible from many standpoints and
intolerable. i do not divide monopolies.
There can be no good monopoly in pri-
vate hands until the Almight sends us
angeisto preside over us.
"There may be a despot who is bet-
ter than another despot. but there is
no good despotism. The defense of the
nonopoly is always placed on the
ground that if you will allow eoplc
.0 control the market and fix the price
they will be good to the people who
purchase of them. The entire defense
'lI trusts rcsts upon a money argu-
ment. if the trust will sell an article
for a dollar less than the article will
cost under other conditions. then in
the opinion of some that proves a trust
to be a good thing. In the first place
I deny that under a monopoly the
price is reduced. the objections to a
monopoly from other standpoints far
mtweigh the financial advantage that
the trust would bring.
“But i protest against settling every
question upon the dollar argument.
“in the curly years of Lincoln's ad‘
ministration he sent a message to Con—
:rcss warning his countrymen against
the approach of anarchy. He said he
raw in the attempt to put capital upon
in ccuai footing with labor in the
rtructure of governme . the approach
of monarchy. Linco n was right.
Whenever you p‘u‘t‘capital upon an eq-
ual footing with labor. or above is-
bor. in the structure of government.
you are on the road to aid a govern-
ment that rests not upon reason. but
upon force. 1
"Nothing is more important than
that we shall. in the beginning. right-
ly understand the relations between
moncy and man.
"Man is the creature of God and mo—
ncy is thc servant of man. and l pro-
test against all theories that enthrone
money and dcbase mankind.
“if you will go about over the corin-
try you will sec where people have
subscribed to establish enterprises and
where those enterprises, having come
under the control of the trusts. have
been closcd up and stand as silent
monuments to the wisdom to the trust
system. in the case of local strike and
fires, the work goes on elsewhere. thus
preventing serious loss.
“When a branch of industry is en-
tirely in the hands of one great monop-
oly. so that every skilled man in that
industry has to go to the one man for
employment. then that one man will
in wages as he pleases and the labor-
ing men will then share the suffering
of the man who sells the raw material.
“i want to warn you that when thc
monopoly has absolute control brains
will bc at a discount. We heve'not
had yct a taste of a complete trust.
But when the trust has rid itself of all
competitors what is going to be hit"
rcsult'.’ My friends. all you havc to
know is human nature. God made man
selfish.
“(in the farm we used to protect pro-
perty from the hogs by putting rin
in their noses. Why? So that w _.
they were getting fat. they would not
destroy more than they were worth.
"One of the great purposes of gov-
ernment is to put rings in the noses of
hogs. if i were going to try to find
the root. of the monopoly evil i would
go back to the Bible. for en explana-
tion and i would find it in the declar-
ation that the love or money is the
root of all evil.
“Falling prices. caused by a rising‘
dollar. and the high tariff have con-
tributed the desire to secure the fruits
of monopoly.
"Some have sugggested that to put.
‘ everything on the free list that trusts
‘ make would destroy the trusts. But i
do not believe that you could destroy
all trust by utting all trust-made ar—

Factory—loss, $400.
A fire in the lucqucring room of the
'.ockwood Manufacturing Company's
Factory shortly before 10 o'clock this
nornlng. did about $400 damage. The
flames were supposed to have startc'l
from an overheated oven in the room.
which set fire to a preparation of gun
‘otton and wool alcohol used in con-
ncction wtih the work.
Henry S. Lockwood. a member of
the firm. had a system arranged for
lust such an emergency. whereby the
lucqucring room could be closed tight—
ly. steam turncri on. and the fiamcs
smothered bcforc grout damage result-
ed. as.watcr has little effect on the
mntcriai used in thc work. . '
Everything would have worked all
right this morning. probaiy. had not
thc employees. in their haste to leave
the room and close the door. upset a
box containing three or four hundred
unds of castings directly in front of
the door. making it impossible to close
t. .
Others of the workmen turned in an
.alarm from box 4 and secured the
jumper from Raymond street. The
« fire alarm refused to strike properly.
.but the indicators worked all right.
.and an alarm was sounded from the
l‘elcctric light whistlc. The workmen.
ghowcvor. had the flames subdued bc-
: fore the dcpatnrcnt arrived. although,
a linc of hosc was laid imm the supply '
wagon. Two floors of the factory wcre
damaged.
The insurance on the building and'
contents is carried by Taylor & Gol-i
den. J. M. Layton and Coolidge &
Lynes.
