PRINTERS ON A STRIKE.
Ten sFRepublican'' Competitors De- sert Their Cases in a Body.

Ten sERepublicano Compositors De- sert Their Cases in a Body. The culmination of the trouble which has been brewing in the composing room of the Republican for several weeks was reached last night when ten printers deserted their frames, upon the refusal of MT Morrow to accede to what they consider just demands. The prices paid for composition at the office is to men women thirty cents. The union price for night work is forty cents per 1 .000. At o'clock last evening the printers delegated one of their number to notify the foreman that unless the price was increased to .3S cents to men and 334 cents to women they would leave their frames. Business Manager Morrow was notified by telephone and meeting of the stockholders was at once called. They refused to accede to the demand of the compositors and the following left their cases: Frank Engle, Elmer D. Trull, John G. Treen. b. E. Mumford, Dignan, Miss Nellie Douglass, Miss Alma Smith and Miss Georgie Merrill.
 The foreman and one female compos- itor remained at their posts and with the assistance of job printer and Editor-in Chief Hall ,who rolled up his sleeves and took a case, succeeded in getting out the paper this morning in fairly good form.
 This morning the compositors who are on the outs called at the DEMOCRAT of flee to make a statement of their case. Their grievance is more on account of the management of the office than the price paid. Two weeks ago, they say, MT Morrow announced his intention of filling the places of the men with girls. The men did not object to this, feeling that the manager had the right to employ whom he pleased, but they claim that Mir Morrow was in the habit of discharging his compositors without a moments notice. After the meeting of the stockholders last night the foreman was instructed to take one of the print CTS, Frank Engle, back at the price de- manded. He refused to accept the offer unless it applied to all who had left the office. To-day the printers are watching all trains and will endeavor to make as much trouble for the Republican as pos sible.
 In order to hear both sides of the story a DEMOCRAT reporter called upon Mir Morrow, manager of the Republican, this morning. The gentleman had noth- ing to say upon the matter and the inter- view came to an abrupt end.
 The Republican has always played in hard luck. From the very first it has been poor paying investment and un- til the late presidential campaign received no encouragement nor support from its party. A little less than year ago a number of the leading republicans of the city bought controlling interest in the paper and caused improvements to be made by placing the editorial manage ment in new hands and by the infusion of {cOnSiderable youOp blood all of which cost no small amount of money The paper has for months been burdeneu with an enormous expense and accord ing to the closest figuring of experts has been a costly luxury to the stock holders

STRANGE RESENTMENT,

A Father Who Did Not Speak to His
 Daughter for Fifty Years.
 Fifty years ago James Martin, a we'll to-do farmer living near Ballietville, Pa, refused to purchase his tifteen-year- old daughter dress that she very much coveted, on the plea that he could not afford 1t. It was a few days before St. Valentines Day. The daughter was quick-tempered girl and took her fathers refusal to purchase her the dress much to heart. On St. Valentines Day Farmer Martin took from the village post-office valentine addressed to him in his daughters handwriting. It was a rough caricature, representing miser counting and gloating over his money. There lived in the neighborhood man of that kind. He had niece whom he treated brutally. When Farmer Martin looked at his valentine he showed it to his wife, sim ply remarking that he had not expected such bitter and uncalled-for insult from their child. MT. Martin took the girl to task about it. The daughter at once declared that she had not sent the val entine to her father, but on the contrary had mailed him a very complimentary one, entitled "The Honest Farmer" 1t having been her custom since she was a little child to send him a valentine every year. The old miser's niece had ob- tained the valentine Farmer Martin received to send to her uncle. Farmer Martins daughter was with her when she bought it. The two girls had sealed their valentines at the same time, and the Martin girl took them both and addressed them In doing so she got them mixed, and sent the miser's valentine to her father.
 In spite of all explanation, Farmer Martin could not be brought to believe his daughters story. From that day he never spoke to her. She married and lived on a farm ad- joining her fathers. With her husband and her children Farmer Martin was on the kindest and most familiar terms, but he never noticed his daughter. Recently he died. He left an estate valued at $45, 900. To his aged widow he left $3O,OOO. To his son-in-law he bequeathed the remainder of the estate, provided he survived his wife, the farmers daughter. If the son-in-law died first then the S15, 900 was to be divided among his three children. To his daughter Farmer Martin bequeathed s'a package to be found in his trunk, tied with green ribbon, and sealed with green wax" When this was opened it was found to be the un- fortunate valentine that had caused the ex- traordinary arrangement of the farmer from his daughter fifty years ago.

The Able Ones Are Few.

The New Haven Register says that after thorough sitting out there are but few members of the general assem- ply who deserve any special mention. Of the Waterbury members the Register says
 John O'Neill of Waterbury is perhaps the sharpest man in the house. He is keen and observant, quick to seize a rpoint and equally quick to take advan- tage of it. He can quote law like the ologian would quote scripture. He is not eloquent in addressing an audience, but relies more upon argument than upon the powers of oratory Mir O'Neill came into the legislature without having the acquaintance of his colleague, MT Welch, and as the latter has been absent a good deal of the time the two repre- sentatives from Waterbury have not yet had an opportunity of thoroughly know. ing each other.
 MT Graves of Litchfeld looks like Charles A. Dana. He is an old timer in the legislature, but the rheumatlcs have kept him away a good deal during the session.

AMONG THE MILITIAMEN.
The Proposed Second Regiment Trip
 May be Abandoned.


 The officers of the local military com panies will attend the meeting of the Second regiment officers at New Haven this evening. This meeting was called several weeks ago for the purpose of dis cussing the proposed regimental trip to some other city or place, Washington, Providence, or Boston, or Niagara Falls. The majority of the companies of the regiment have already voted in favor of going to Niagara Falls, but it is under stood that they did so, each in turn, SUD- posing that other companies preferred this destination. Some of the companies have favored a visit to Washington ever since the plan of having trip was first suggested. The matter will be definitely settled at the meeting this evening, and it is now the opinion of several of the minor officers that the vote will be not to make any trip. The matter has been thoroughly canvassed during the past two months, and while a majority of the officers would be able to go on the trip without any great inconvenience, there are others who would find it impossible to go and at the same time devote a week of time to the duties of camp, as prescribed, at Mantle. Many of the privates would be unatle, it is said, to go on the proposed trip and also do duty at camp. The line officers have made extensive inquiry among the members of their respective commands, ,ard when they report this evening it is thought that the sentiment of the meeting will be opposed to taking regimentaI trip this spring.

There Is No Doubt

That certain stores in each line of busi- ness of this city sell goods at lower prices than others. The perplexing question to many who are not already well posted is to know where to go to find goods marked at uniformly low prices, Some dealers in order to gain patronage offer baits, that is they mark line of goods at really low prices while the balance of their stock remains marked at high prices Of course the general public will soon find out these tricks and consequently these stores are not the headquarters for the multitude. The large crowds they advertise in the paper never materialize, We do the largest business in the city. We do business on the square. No hum- bug. No misrepresentation. Every body says that our prices are the lowest. Give us call you will find us the cheapest and most reliable clothing house to deal with in the state of Con- necticut.

Ing Victims In Court.

Francolangio slept with Targillo Friday night and Sat urday morning the wallet was missing as was Francolangio. Saturday night the latter showed up drunk at his boarding house on Spring street.

Yesterday he was arrested for theft. one of the boarders having seen him throw the missing wal let into the fire. He made a very poor defense in court this morning and Jud ge Bradstreet imposed a fine of S7 and costs and thirty days in jail.
 Saturday Michael Walsh stole a watch valued at S5 from Robert Brownlee, for whom he worked and with whom he boarded. Tie police were notified, but Walsh had flown, after disposing of the timepiece for forty cents. He was cap tured in Ansonia yesterday afternoon and brought back by Officer Dodds this morning.

 vices in the Churches.
 Yesterday was an ideal Easter Sunday The heavy showers of Saturday night left the air fresh and pure and the warm sunlight made the day as near perfec- ton as possible. When the church bells announced the morning services the streets were crowded with men, women and children in a bewildering array of spring costumes. In all the churches the services were of an unusually i'm pressive nature. Sermons appropriate to the day were preached and the music was an interesting feature. The floral decorations were beautiful. In the afternoon at the church of the Immaculate Conception of the convent pupils, Helen Genevieve, Eva and Jessie Donaldson of New York were received into the Catholic faith. Their mother was a former pupil at the convent. The Rev Fathers Mulcahy, ODonnell and Walsh and the Misses Be- linda Mccoy, Mary McElligott and Jennie McKenna acted as sponsors for the children.

From the Atlantic Constitution.
The making ofpig iron is an in
dustry tnat the south controls 1t
makes the price and governs the
market. The making of steel has
up to this time been controlled in
moth. The Bessemer company by
smothering the basic patent under
which alone the phosphoric ores OF
the south could be worked, has pro-
tected the north in the making Of
ingots. In four years that patent
will have expired and then the
the south will gather the steel in
dustry unto itself. In the meantime
the Bookwalter patent, which.covers
a new process of steel making, has
excited special discussion in the
north. The Constitution sent a cor
respondent to personally investi-
gate the matter and see if it could
be adapted to the southern furnaces.
We have.no doubt that the south will
find its way tosteel making before
the basic patent isopened-whether
through the Bookwalter4 process or
otherwise, remains to be seen. In
pig iron and in the lower grades of
cotton cloths, the south already con-
trolls. She will move now to steel
and to finer prints.

A BIG TIMBER DEAI.-Fred Nelly
and Adam Felix have purchased the
timber on the farm of Mrs. Huldah
Brown, on the Valley Mills road,
about three miles from the city, and
have there now a force of men en-
gagged in cutting the timber thereon.
The consideration was a royalty,
which it is estimated, will amount
to about $1,000. This is valuable
tract of timber land of about two
hundred acres, and will cut an
enormous amount of lumber.-State
