 Another disgraceful fight occurred Sun
 day morning about o'clock near the wire
 mill. A man by the name of Hassett was
 badly injured. The stones and ground in
 the vicinity were all covered with blood.
 Hassett is wire drawer and recently ar rived in town with friend by the name of
 Thomas Fitzgerald. Together they put up at the house of Mrs. Grower on Pardee
 street. Saturdayevening they became some
 what intoxicated and after visiting several
 saloons proceeded homeward. When near
 the wire mill works they were met by two
 men whom Fitzgerald recognized as wire
 drawers at the mill. Without speaking one of them came over to Hassett and hit him, knocking him down. Then ensued a general melee between the four men in which they were all pretty badly used up, The row awoke the whole neighborhood, but as soon as they ascertained what it was they retired again, as free fights are of very common occurrence in that part of the town. A steel instrument was found on the scene of the row by Captain Alonzo Shute all cov- cred with blood and hair. The ground in the vicinity was all torn up and bespattered with bloodl which shows that desperate en- counter must have taken place. MT. Hassett will be laid up for some time with his inju- ries. The people living in the vicinity of the wire mill and Meadow street are becoming thoroughly alarmed at the way the men em- ployed in the wire mill and who live in the vicinity are allowed to act. A prominent resident said yesterday that ''the class of men who work at the wire drawing profession are mostly absolute characters who wander police protection in this part of the town and they terrorize the residents. It is only two weeks ago that they attacked man who was not interfering with them at all and se- verely beat him. It is not safe for any of the neighboring residents to be out after nightfall, as they are liable to be brought in- to fight or insulted Something should be done that we could be protected"
 Nearly two years ago William A. Warner opened the store on the corner of Grand and North Front streets stocked with builders and general hardware, cutlery and tools and informed the people of New Haven and vii cinity that he intended to keep as good goods as anyone and sell them just cheap, if not cheaper than they could be bought else where. Since then he has been constantly adding to his stock; so much so that he' has had to procure additional room, occupying in with the original store the room formerly occupied by Al. Brinkerman, the we'll known barber With the stock of goods now on hand MT. Warner hopes for contin- uance of trade from past customers at prices that cannot be beaten and would be pleased to have call from all in need of hardware of any description that have not as yet visited his store.
