They Accept the Situation. r The Richmond and Danville Railroad recently found themselves forced. by the condition of the times, to make a ten per cent. reduction on the wages of their employees. The employees plainly saw and understood that the cut was a necessity, and instead of raising angin- dignant protest, quitting work, and going on a strike, as is too frequently the fashion, they held a meeting and appointed a committee representing the different departments of the road, to draw up an expression of sentiment concerning the reduction, the result of which was the adoption of the follow- ing resolutions, a copy of which was sent to the superintendent: “ First. That we fully realize the ne- cessity for a reduction in expenses, owing to the general depression in busmess, and, havmg unbounded con- fidence in_ the justness and fairness of our superior officers, we feel satisfied that no reduction in salaries would have been made but_for the depressed condition of the DIISI'HGSS of the coun- try, and that they Will be restored as soon as the company’s revenue will justify it. “Second. That we appreciate the considerate manner in which said re- duction was made, as it does not affect the ‘rank and file,_’ who could ill afford to stand a reduction, but applies only to employees receivmg $100 per month or over, thereby placing the burden on those who are best able to bear it.” The same spirit has been conspicuous- ly manifested by the employees of our Norwalk Horse Railway 00. Their quiet acquiescence to a necessary cut does them credit, as does the spirit of the Danville resolutions to the Vir- ginia railroad men. It shows that .they have an intelligent appreciation of the difficulties under which their roads are laboring, and that theyare ready to make any reasonable sacrificethem- selves toward helping the company out. Where such relations exist between employers and employees the interests of both will be well looked after, and neither will suffer injustice. In_due time the men who now so readily ac' cept an unpleasant situation will no doubt be restored to their old figures on the pay rolls and have the perma- nent satisfaction of knowing that when times were hardest fer their employers, they did their best to relieve them, in- stead of placing obstructions in the way of their respective roads’ recovery. Similar action has been taken by the trainmen of the Louisville and Nash- ville road, there being a ready agree- ' ment to stand a reduction: in pay until business improves. It is a course dic- tated by common sense, and will help to ease the general situation. Is not here a valuable object-lesson for the discontented Danbury hatters ? In the Senate. The contest in behalf of uncondi- tional repeal will probably continue for a few days, but it will be scarcely more than a formality. Senator Voor- hees says he still thinks the uncondi; Une re- publican friend of repeal says he thinks the cause of repeal even strongor than it was before, but the country fails to see it. . Senator Higgins called attention to the fact that, including the silver son- ators there are thirty-seven republicans in the Senatefand on the final roll call Friday morning twenty republicans answered to their names. But only sixteen out of forty-seven democrats and populists responded to their call, and the democrats and populints acted together. With 44 per cent. of the membership of the Senate the republi- cans furnished 60 per cent. of the vote that was cast on the last call of the Senate Friday morning, while the dome ocrats, with 60 per cent. of the mem— bership furnished only 40 per cent. of the vote cast for a quorum. There were twenty-five senators On tho repub- lican side in favor of "unconditiOnal re. peal. Five were absent on the final call because of sickness and the other twenty answered to their names. The republicans have furnished the majori- ty vote in favor of the bill all along, and have furnished the majority to make a quorum, notwithstanding the fact that this is a democratic measure. Senator Platt and Senator Teller ex- changed some vigorous compliments in ' the Senate on the subject Of the'latter’s . - - .. . ~;th"‘ ld d tf, - threatth'at the silver Senators-would 6“ readers wou owea ch 0 grati exhaust every means of obstructive tactics before they would permit the repeal bill to pass. 0 . » ,7 That able and, honest democratic paper, the Philadelphia Times, sizes up the situation in the Senate by saying : “The question is simply whether the majority of the Senators, really want to pass the repeal bill or not. No doubt a majority would vote for it, but it is evident that there is not a majority sufficiently anxious and determined to force a vOte. What with luke-warm and dissatisfied Democrats and Repub- licans who would like to see their op- ponents embarrassed, united courage is. lacking in‘ the Senate and the country suffers. _ If the Senate will not change its mode of procedure, it is an acknowledgment that it does not cfire to pass this bill and it might as well go home. Demo- cratic Senators are unwilling to limit the rights that they havehcretofore claimed for themselves, while the Re- publicans, looking forward to the con- sideration of the tariff and the election laws, are still more unwilling to give up any of the possibilities of obstruct- ion. And so the Senate plays with the suf- ferings of the country and the few earnest men are powerless to accomp- lish anything in the face of such in- sincerity. Never before has the pa- tience of the American people been so sorely tried. Never before was there greater need for heroic statesmanship.” _ Connecticut Ladies at the Fair.

Game ‘ Success- iully Played on Two Strang- ers at South Norwalk. They Depart Leaying the Evidence "Behind. Sunday evening last a gentleman and lady entered the ladies’ entrance at the City Hotel at South Norwalk and re- paired to the waiting room. The gen. t‘leman came into the office and in- ; quired of Mr. Victor B. Wilson, who Miss Elizabeth Kellogg who has been: was engaged reading in newspaper, If N: Y., during the‘; past few weeks is now entirely mom-3 that was the City Hotel. On being answered in the affirmative he said he wanted to get rooms for himself and sister. He took up the pen at the desk and wrote upon the register, Henrey Jappe, Wheeling, Va, and Mrs. Emma Mullan, Pittsburgh, Pa. They were assigned to rooms 42 and 41 respectively. Monday morning they had breakfast after which they repaired to their rooms. About 10 o’clock that morning a genteel looking man wearing a light overcoat entered the hotel and passed through to the bar, where he took a drink. He then came out and passed through therofiice to the waiting room where he found Mr. Jappe and Mrs. Mullan, whom he at once greeted. Af- ter talking for a short time Mr. J appe ran hurriedly up stairs as though he was going to his room to obtain some- thing. When he returned he and the stranger went out while Mrs. Mullan retired to her room. It is not known . l h ‘0 ‘ and brambles succeeded m bagging w en Mi Jappe returned,but shortly before noon some one passing through the upper hall heard sobs eminating from Mrs. Mullan’s room and heard Mr. Jappe bemoaning his fate. The couple soon after departed and nothing more was thought of the matter until later in the afternoon when Landlord Hall assigned a gentleman to the room occupied by Jappe. The new comer had been in the room but a short time when he rang the electric bell and re- quested the porter to remove some , things from the room. When the por- ter returned to the office he carried a new tin box, which although securely locked, had one end pried open reveal- ing some neWSpapers carefully wrapped around a nice red brick. The box and brick at once told Mr. Hall what had been gOing on, and the cause of Mr. Jappe’s excitement and Mrs. Mullan’s tears were fully explained. . ~ -It is quite evident that the parties met at the City Hotel by appointment, and that Mr. Jappe and Mrs. Mullan had come there for the purpose of buy- ing green goods and had instead paid good money, for a brick. The fact of Jappe registering himself from Wheel- ing, ‘Virginia, when that city is in West Virginia and spelling his first name “Henrey” as well as Pittsburg with an h at the end when registering his sister plainly indicates that they were not residents of those cities, but had come to South Norwalk from some other part _of the country. It is not known where or when the money was paid over to the green goods man and the box received, but it is surmized that when the stranger and Jappe went out they took a carriage and went for a ride during which the exchange was made. The box with the brick safely en- sconced therein was delivered to Chief Vollmer this morning, but it is not thought that anything will result there- from as all the parties to the transac- tion have had plenty of time to get out of the state. It would be well for all residents of Norwalk to keep' a sharp lookout for these green goods men as the state, and especially South Norwalk, is being flooded with their circulars. ~——--——<o~>— —— USE DANA’S SARSAPARILLA.IT’S ‘ THE KIND THAT CURES.” Commissioners Appointed.

Thirty Persons More or Less Injured, But Strange to Say No One “has Killed Out-right —— Two or the Coaches Burned. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17.-—The west-bound Chicago limited train on the Wabash road, filled with World’s fair visitors, left the track one mile south of N ameoka, 111., last night resulting in the injury of some 80 people. The wreck is remarkable in some re- spects and is without parallel in that no one was killed out of the 450 passengers. The train was making up 30 minutes lost time. After Nameoka had been pasSed there was a clear stretch of 12 miles of straight level road to east St. Louis. The engineer put on all force and the train was going 40 miles an hour when there was a. sudden jar followed by the slowing of the train. The rails had spread behind the locomotive and the cars following went over a six foot embankment. The bullet car behind the baggage car swung across the track and the gas tank exploded, setting tire to the first chair car and the buffet car, which Were consumed. The uninjured immediately set to work to rescue their less fortunate companions. Two physicians on the train did noble ser- vice. ' \Vhile the excitement was at its highest pitch a train on the Big Four, only 30 yards away, came by at express speed and refused to stOp in answer to a signal. Aid had been sent for to St. Louis but did not arrive till 8 o’clock. »At that hour a special train from St. Louis with physi- cians and nurses arrived and brought the injured to this city. The injured, with the exception of Miss Ida Maurer, of New York, who was badly bruised, were all residents of the west and south. The. generally accepted opinion is that the speed and weight of the locomotive caused the rails to spread at a weak spot. For a dozen miles before reaching East St. Louis the tracks of the Chicago & Alton, the “Big Four” and the \Vabash parallel each other, being only ,30 yards apart, and every day a race occurs there to get into St. Louis junction first. A dreadful loss of life was only prevented by the gradual slowing of the train. The wounded were cared for by the Wabash officials, the most severely injured being taken to St. Mary’s hospital and the others to the hotels. It is believed that, none of the injured . will die.

SHARPERS .INDISORIMINATE. l Unit-ed States Senators Receiving. Green GOods Circulars. , i \VASHINGTON, Oct. 17. —WasliingtOn has lately been flooded with green goods cir-l _ culars. This city has hitherto been re- . garded as “immune” from this species of bunco business, but apparently it has been found that there are people even in Wash-’ ington who do not read newspapers and can be taken'in by the sawdust game. The sharps are indiscriminate in the distribu- tion of their circulars. They are appar- ently working the directory in alphabetical order and have got down as far as “G.”| Some of the most distinguished men at .. the capital have not escaped. Senator Allison, of Iowa, the other day, was disc: greeably a’stonished to find a packet of green goods circulars in his mail. Easton, Pa, appears to be the present base of operations of the confidence man. The trouble lies in the inability of the law to reach them. Mr. A. L. Drummond, chief of the secret service division of the treasury department, in his last annual report, urged the pas- sage of a bill making it a misdemeanor to prepare or aid in the preparation of any paper, written or printed, or produced by any process in which is stated or can be plainly inferred that counterfeit or false money, under any name or title, in any manner, can be obtained. Such a bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Mandar- son and referred to the committee on judic- iary, but has not been acted upon. , DIORE NEXV POSTDIASTERS.
