tions in Wages-End of the
Telegraph Pool.

NEW YORK, Dec l3 Mr. j. 3. Taltavall,
editor of The Telegraphers' Advocate,
speaking OF the uneasy feeling among oper-
htorS throughout the country, said: From
All parts OF the country comes the news that

larger places almost every night with

Superintendent Merrihew of the Western
Union will visit that place, and it is likely
the operators will quit work rather than tol-

has made or will make have lust received
telegram from New Orleans and it is pos

velopei; but there is bound to be trouble in
the south, as it is in that section where the
greatest reductions are being made by the
Western Union"
telegraph operator said; "There is no
likelihood of a strike now 1t would be
foolish to begin one when the city is full of
unemployed telegraph operators But the
telegraph operators have been streng gthening
| themselves since the last strike and hope to
make short and successful fight of it
in the summer" Another telegrapher said:
There are some grievances among the
operators down south, owing, it is said
to the issuance of an order stopping their ex-

RurIedtn the Earth.

Thomas Daley, aged fifty, resident at No. Oak street, was buried alive in sewer trench on Congress avenue, near Howard ave nue. He was engaged in exeavating cave in order to make the proper connection with the main trunk from house that is in pro- cess of erection, when the earth caved in and he was suffocated before he could be re- leased. It took an hour to get him out. Physicians were summoned, but as the man was dead they could do nothing. Medical Examiner White gave permission for the removal of the body. He leaves wife and six children the oldest of whom is only thir- teen years of age.
 James Tooker, engineer of Steamer No. 1, had his hands badly lacerated in delving with them in the dirt to assist in holding back the falling earth while Daley was being dug out.
 AN APPEAL FOR THE DEAD MANS FAMILY.
 The family are in very needy circumstances and MT. John H. Dillon, the grocer at the corner of Congress avenue and Vernon street, has started subscription to help them in their trouble. He has already ordered a suitable casket and made arrangements to insure a respectable interment of the dead, and he appeals to the charitably inclined to help him in the work. He has secured liberal donations among his friends, but there are many who might be disposed to help the stricken widow and orphans who cannot be reached by MT. Dillon, and such he hopes will either send their mite to him or signify where they can be reached and he will call upon them. It is worthy object and he hopes the Christian people of New Haven will come to his assistance.

 Among all the charities in the community there is none that appeals more to the sympa- thies than the cause of the orphans, and this year liberal aid is more necessary than ever. The management it is needless to say well de- serves, as it possesses, the entire confidence of the public. Much credit is due to the soliciting committee for their interest taken in the matter, and to those gentlemen who have kindly placed subscription lists in the manufactories. Last year $1 200 was received from the employees of factories alone. The committee would give notice to contributors who will be out of town tomorrow that they can leave their contributions at the banks or with a member of the committee.
