strike on the Morning News.

The printers on the Morning News struck last night. An announcement that a cut down in wages had been ordered by the con cern is the cause. The strikers are quite indignant at the attitude of the paper, which was started originally by printers as a work ingmen's sheet and accuse it of base in gratitude. The striking printers went out in body at 6 o'clock upon notification from the foreman that the pay was to be reduced. The News office telephoned to the police sta tion that their men were on a strike and two officers were sent to the office, but found the strikers all out upon the sidewalk and that their services were not needed. All the reg ular force of printers left and new men ob- tained at short notice were put in their places. The strikers are: Thomas Hay ward, George Sadlier, Charles H. Northrop, Albert D. Bradley, Frank Barnes, Harry Kidd, George Graham, W. J. Skinner, Sam my Rice and Rufus Allen, day hand

United Society.

At the evening service yesterday of the United church Prof. Llewellyn Pratt, of Hartford, preached from Matt 19: 2829. His was subject the rewards promised to his disciples and true followers. These promises of the text, the speaker said, are in the language of earth not fitted for fully conveying the exact description of the heavenly reward, or indeed the earthly experience which awaits the faithful followers of Christ. The speak CTS illustrations of Gods fulfllment of promised rewards drawn from scripture and our life experience were striking and interest ing.
 The house was only moderately full, but the singing and all the exercises were, as in the morning, listened to with deep attention

Housing Meeting in Gu1Iford. 4o 41,o h,

A Guilford dispatch to the Sunday Tribune says: New Haven county has been regarded as the hot bed of the Independent Repubi- can movement which has centered around Yale college, but the opening Blaine and Logan meeting on New Haven Green on Thursday night, and the enthusiastic Repub- ican rally in Guilford, the oldest town of the State, tonight Saturday. have carried con- sternation into the opposition camp. The attendance at both meetings has shown how large an accession to the Blaine ranks has been made of Irish-Americans. Illness pre- vented Congressman Simeon B. Chittenden from presiding at the meeting in this place, but he was present through large part of the exercises, and announced himself as a warm supporter of Blaine, and of the Repub- lican cause. Judge Lynde Harrison, chair man of the State Republican committee, and a summer resident of Gui1ford, presided, and after song from the Guilford Glee club, introduced Senator Hawley, amid great ap- plause. Governor Hawley made rousing speech, exposing the corruptness of the Dem Ocratic partVs past,

wALLINGFoRD,s MYSTERY.

Shot by an Unknown Assa1Iant-Wa1. ter RI. Perkins and Roland Talcott Perkins Twice wounded in the Head-The Doctor Thinks He VIII RecOver-Who Fired the Shotsq
 Wallingford had mysterious shooting case in addition to the murder of Saturday. An atrociouO and mysterious assault was committed about two o'clock Saturday morn ing in the southern part of the town in the vicinity of Pine Hill. Rollie Talcott and Walter H. Perkins had been out riding and were coming up the hill. They had just re- turned from escorting two young ladies' daughters of Oscar B. Lane and Thomas Smith, to Meriden. Three shots in rapid succession were heard by Talcott, who was leaning forward laughing. Perkins fell out of the wagon. He climbed back again, how ever, although bleeding profusely from two wounds in his head. One bullet passed through the back part of his head and came out an inch or two above. The second en- tered nearly under the ear The third bullet was found hattened in the bottom of the carriage.
 The revolver that was used must have been held very close to Perkins head, as his hail is badly singed. The boys drove round some | time, strange to say, before going home The story they tell is that they saw no ont and do not know who fired the shots. 4 l piece of one of Perkins cuff buttons wal ! found in the bottom of the carriage, and tn, butt end of the whip was found in the vicini | ty of the Johnson murder. It is a curious ! complication. Nobody seems to believe tn stories told by Perkins and Talcott. The. had been warned against calling upon tn young ladies, it is said, and were told the, would be sorry if they persisted in it Another story is that Perkins was tilted b, Miss Smith and attempted suicide, and anothe l that the two boys quarreled.
 This affair and the murder case create ! much excitement in the town. Yesterda, the condition of young Perkins was such a to give his attending physician, pr. Me Gaughey, reason to believe that he will re cover. All sorts of theories are promul gated. One is that the yount men had, after leaving the young ladies been in 8 difficulty or in quarter which they wish to keep secret. Both tn young men said that they did not see thei assailant, although it was a bright moon light night. Wallingford people yesterda. denied that the young men were intoxicated Saturday night and state that the girls wh were out riding are very respectable younl ladies, although the two young men are re ported fast.
 Mrs. Henry Jacobs, of Wallingford, livinJ near the Beach House, was sitting up reading Saturday night and about half-past twelv o'clock heard loud discussion or altereatio1 out on the street and heard two pistol shot fired. There were two teams out in tn ! street. AS soon as the shots were fired tn teams separated. The young women whel taken to Meriden refused to leave the car riages to get supper at a restaurant which tn young men had ordered for sthem and tn supper consequently was not eaten.

Personal.

Coroner Bollman returned yesterday from trip, with horse and carriage, among the Berkshire hills with his family. When he reached Unionville yesterday he learned that two more murders had been added to the long list. He hastened to Wallingford, but found that it was not necessary to take an ante-mortem statement of Jackson, the man who was so badly hurt by Johnson, nor in the case of the young man Perkins, both be- ing deemed in fair way of recovery by the doctors.

YOUNG GIRLS, ESCAPADE.
 Storm Beaten Actors-Led Home By
 An Energetic Mamma.
 The New York Times of yesterday pub lished long account of an escapade of two young girls, which, if not true in all particu- lars, is interesting. One of the young ladies was Miss Susie Wardwe1 of South Norwalk, aged seventeen, and the other Miss Lillie Waterbury, of Stamford. They left South Norwalk on the 4:56 train for New York. Mrs. Wardwell discovered their absence and went to New York on a morning train in pursuit. The rest of the story is given in the Times language: On arriving at that city the lady went to police headquarters and notified the police that two young ladies were missing. Would they kindly search for them? Mrs. Wardwe1l, being from Con necticut, had infinite faith in the New York police and expected to see her delinquents $hat night. The weary hours went by and so did Mrs. Wardwell's hopes. Early Satur- day morning Mrs. Wardwen received word that her daughter, on arriving at the Grand Central station, had at once taken a return train and gone to New Haven. So they had only gone to New York to throw her off the scent! She would see about that. The ener- getic little lady boarded train bound for New Haven and set off after the fugitives. On stopping at the South Norwalk station a young man saw her and told her he had seen the young ladies on the train bound to New Haven the preceding day, and with this double confirmation the afflicted mamma pursued her journey. She arrived in New Haven and looked around her. New Haven was large place. Her daughters were not at the station Going over to group of hackmen she spoke to them on the subject. One mild youth volunteered the information that he had driven two young ladies, answer ing the description, to certain hotel. He would be delighted to do as much for their mother for similar consideration. Mrs. Wardwell jumped into her car ciage and was driven to the hotel. There in cosy room were Miss Susie Wardweu and Miss Lillie Waterbury, sitting in state. "Get ready to come home," shouted the indignant lady, ''this very instant" No protests were
 listened to; nothing was accepted from the defendants. Off they were led by an out ragged mother. No questions were asked on the way home. No explanations were volun- teered. But the blushing Susie was this evening confronted with the sight of that stoop she had so willfuIly deserted, though for such a short time, and the fair Lillian was packed off at once to her parents in Stamford.
 The Times intimates that the girls came here to see some of the actors of the fStorm Beaten'' company, which played here last week and which previously played in South Norwa1E
