The Rink Manager all Expert AC
 Making Assignments.
 The case of c. & NJ. T. Maloney vs F.. s. Whiting, which was heard before Justice Lowe yesterday was decided this morning in favor of the plaintiffs to re- cover the amount of bill with costs. The case is as follows: Whiting owed the plaintiffs bill for advertising and printing Before the last day of the re- cent race in the rink the bill was pre- sented and payment refused. Thereupon d representative of the DEMOCRAT to whom the receipts of the race had been assigned by the manager, refused to pay the rent and had the money in his pos ession attached and himself garnish- eed to hold said money. Whiting, on being refused the rink rent immediately made an assignment to Charles Messer and another party, of all moneys due him from the race manager. It was prov en that the manager of the race had as signed the receipts to the DEMOCRATS representative and Justice Lowe decided that Whiting could not recover.
 Whiting stands in peculiar position and may be arrested for fraud. This is is not the first time he has made assign ments to avoid paying his debts and Judge Coweil, who was party to one of the assignments, himself says that Whiting is deserving of criminal prose- cutiOn.

 Threatened With . Strike

Tho Hartford Carpet Company
 Threatened With . Strike
 During the past week the men em- ployed in the several departments ef the Hartford Carpet company at Thompson vile, have held meetings, at which it was decided to strike yesterday morning on account of 8 reduction of 10 per cent in wages. Trouble was feared, and the officials of tho company were on hand early, and, as the men claim, compelled the hands to go to work by ordering them to go to work or give up the keys of their tenements. The Carpet company owns large proportion of the houses occupied by the men. Some of the men, however, left, saying they would not stand the reduction. The Brussels weavers say that by the reduction they will be compelled to weave for the same prices that prevail in England. The men in this department held secret meeting last night to dete rmlne whether to stand the reduction or to strike. At the office of the company yesterday afternoon no information would be fur. nished regarding the condition ot affairs.
 The company is compelled to pay duties to the amount of $225, ,0O0 a year and President Houston has been II Washington nearly all winter to try tc get the committee to take off the duty on raw wool, but as he was unsuccess full the company had to reduce wages.

MEnIDEN,S SPECIAL ELECTION.
Alderman Pratt Doing Time In the
 state Prison.

MERIpEN, April 22.-A special election is being held in this city to-day to fill the vacancy in the board of aldermen caused dy the imprisonment of C. s. Pratt, now at Wetherstield, serving a term for embezzlement. There was some discussion between the saloon keepers and the authorities as to whether the saloons should be closed to- day or not. Prosecuting Agent Fay, however, said he didn't see that the law could be interpreted Tn any way but that requiring every saloon in town to close at II o'clock last night and remain closed until 5 o'clock Wednesday morn ing. The saloon keepers had a very novel idea in regard to the proper obser- vance of the law. They proposed that only the saloons in the ward where the election is held be closed and allow the rest to run. This, the prosecuting attor- ney feared, would lead to serious com plications. and put a damper on the scheme.
 A later dispatch states that all the saloons are running in full blast. There is no excitement over the election, onl, one candidate being in the field.
