She is ably supported by her two arch companions.

 Troubles on Local Trade.
 At a meeting of carriage manufacturers held at the Elliott House recently-one of a series to be held for the purpose of talking over matters of mutual and general interest to the trade-no action of special impor- tance was taken. No new features were de- veloped yesterday as regards the shops where the men have struck.
 All good citizens who desire to see good feeling exist between employers and employees are pleased when they see acts calculated to foster this sentiment. Without demand or solicitation Edwin J. Toof and F. P. Pfeghar have notified their help in their factory on Crown and George streets that they will be given Saturday afternoons without reduction of. pay.
 "You may think that these strikes in the West are too far away to affect local trade in New Haven" said well known tailor yes terday; "but trade is so closely interwoven and the means of communication so intimate that any thing like that will affect us. You have already mentioned in your paper the instance of prominent and rich corporation out w 0SU WHICH nhS suSp0uu0u owing to the labor troubles, thus causing a loss of many thousands of dollars to New Haven stockholders, many of whom need the money to live on. We met 8 prom inent Wooster street gentleman yester- day who had fully intended to erect two cottages on land ot his down near City Point. He has given up all idea of do- ing so as contractors have to figure higher and higher in making their estimates. This you say is but single case, but there are a dozen of such cases here in New Haven, as can be easily demonstrated.
 A prominent brick manufacturer said yes terday the demand for brick is lively now, but almost all our orders for delivery of brick are confined to the month of April. For business after the 1st of May the outlook is slim. Of course business isn't going to stop altogether, but it will be fiat, because builders don't know what to figure on in making estimates, and competition be- ing close nowadays, they don't want to ''get left' Of course there are quite number of contracts that will lap over the first of May. Then there is good deal of work in the way of repairs and additions. But it can't be rubbed out that the building busi- ness has had adecided set back for 1886.
 The work at Peck Bros. & Co.'s of finish ing unfinished work gives temporary em- ployment to about 160 hands. The number employed will lessen day by day, the hands finished. By Saturday night from 50 to 75 will drop out. The shop will not be closed entirely probably until week after next. To a reporter MT. Peck said last evening that the status of affairs was unchanged.
 The grinders at the factory of the Bridge port Knife company went out on a strike Monday evening. They struck because they could not get their pay weekly. The presl- dent of the company told them that if they would conduct themselves with greater cir cumspection he would think favorsbly of the plan of weekly payments.

 proved.
 A meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held last evening. Present, Selectmen Ty- Ter (presiding), Reynolds, Feldman, Treat, Beecher, Brown and Klenke.
 After the minutes were read the question of paying the two roadmasters came up. It appeared that their pay had been advanced from $2 to $2.25 per day, and the question was whether they should be paid every week day, rain or shine.
 MT. Beecher said he had understood that lately they had been so paid, and he thought they should not be paid for rainy days when they could not work.
 MT. Klenke said that on stormy days the men worked as fixing tools, and if very stormy they were sent out by MT. Sanford on the roads to look out for and patch up washouts at different points.
 Mr. Treat said he did not think the road masters had to work very hard. He had found them reading wher gangs of men over which they had charge were at work, and in one instance found one of them asleep.
 Mr. Feldman moved that in the sense of this Board the roadmasters should re- ceive $2 25 per day for every day they work.
 MT. Feldman said he thought it was the duty of the committee to know whether these men worked or not.
 The motion of MT. Feldman prevailed.
 Mr. Reynolds reported that the blasting in the Ferry street cut in Fair Haven was near ly completed.
 :. xloA tank near the Widow Smith place on the North Haven road was completed and there was an excellent flow of water into the tank. MT. Treat, from the special committee to see undertakers about the price of burying the town poor by contract, reported that the following undertakers had given prices: Lewis & Maycock, adults $12.7 children 2 to 12 years $7.90, under years S6- 45; Thos. Lennahan, adults SIS. 50, children 3 to 12 years $S. 50, under 3 years $6; c. A. Hem ingway, adults SIS 50, children ? to 12 years $14, under years $S. This includes all expenses of burial, such as casket, hearse, one carriage, opening grave, etc.
 It was stated that under the plan proposed there would be no more funeral at the aims house.
 The report of the committee was accepted and they were authorized to close contract with the lowest bidder for two years.
 A letter from Dr. Olmstead, acting super intendent of the Middletown asylum, stated that Ann MeGivney, an inmate of the asy- lum, had recovered and was anxious to re- turn to Ireland. Having been town charge the matter was submitted to the selectmen by Dr. Olmstead for their. consideration. The Board referred the matter to the Com mittee on Outside Poor with power to act.
 Bills were approved follows: Roads and bridges, $682.26; almshouse, $92; outside poor, $398; construction, $50; new farm, s8S. 50; general account, $76.65; notes paid, S2OO
