meeting of the Molders' union was held
Saturday night. 1he strike which is
now on at Sargent's works was dis
cussed long and loudly. The molders
unanimously voted to stand by their
striking companions to the end. No at
tempt at arbitration is to be made until
the national Officers arrive and get mixed
up in it. 1t is not thought that the
company will concede point and from
the present attitude of the strikers it
would indicate that the strike would be

MRS. CREIGER WAS CALM
Dehed the Regulators and Their
Tar and Feathers.
SHOT THE NOTICE FULL OF HOLES.
Then She Posted a Notice of Her Own, Writ
ten In Red Ink, and Sat In a Hammock
Directing the Crowds That Came to Read
1.-THE Regulators Not Heard From.


BLOOMFIELD, y. J.. July 24.-There is
one woman whom the regulators can't
brighten They have tried it and failed in
gloriously. She is Mrs. Gertrude Cregier
of this place, 30 years old, plump and pref
ty, and she showed her grit by the way she
answered public threat with a public de
fiance, and got amusement out OF the sen
sation the affair created in that town.
Mrs. Cregier lives with her husband
John, who is employed by w. L. Gilbert
in Chambers street, New York city, and
who is comfortably well off, in a one story
house in Belleville avenue. near the Belle
vile line She used to be popular in Bloom
field. but last December, it is charged, she
eloped with George Pritchard, who had
boarded in her house.
All the neighbors sympathized with the
deserted husband, who declared he would
apply for divorce. Instead of this Cregier
took his wife back two months afterward.
Since then the couple have been ostracised
The woman doesn't seem to be greatly
distressed by the treatment of her former
friends. She drives about town in dog
cart, and as she is good looking she at
tracts considerable attention.
A Notice Of Warning.
Persons passing the Cregier house We're
astonished to see nailed to n tree in front
of the place large sheet of paper on which
was written:
MRS CREGIER As you did not heed our private
notice we give you warning that theniggcr who
is living in your house must be off the premises
before sunset tonight and You must not receive
any more men visitors in your house during
your husbands absence. If you do not do as
1,riN- + "a
ers and ride you out Of the village on rail.
Your dogs will not protect you, for we will poi
son them. The REGULATORS.
Under the signature were rude drawings
of bucket marked tar" a bag marked
feathers and two longitudinal lines
marked rail"
This notice attracted great deal of at
tention from passcrsby. but no one at
tempted to remove it, and it remained on
the tree until afternoon. Mrs Cregier then
tore it down. and taking pistol from her
pocket she showed her contempt for the
warning by shooting the paper full of
holes and declaring she would do the same
with the regulators if she discovered
them. She posted a notice of her own on
the same tree later in the afternoon Her
notice was headed with a rude drawing of
a revolver in red ink and underneath was
written:
Beware of me for am no fool and any
one who attempts to modest me or my dogs
will get the contents of my pistol. l am
not afraid of anybody in this town"
When the story of the warning notice to
| the woman and her manner of treating it
| became noiscd about, it created great SEN
satiOn
Scores of people went to the Cregier
house to read the answer to the ''regu-
lators.' No one cared to tear it down. es-
