CHARGE THE CONTRACTOR.

knights of Labor Investigating the Work
on the Pension Offices Roof.
Contractor Baird, who has a force OF
men at work putting new copper roof on
the Pension Office building, is charged
with having repeatedly violated thel law that
constitutes eight hours a legal working
day, and also with paying less than scale
wages to his employees.
The alleged violation OF the eight-ho
law having been called TO the attention of
the executive board of the Knights OF
Labor, formal action was taken autEoriZ-
ing Master " orkman simmons, the
recognized head Of District Assembly, No.
66, to investigate the charge, and, If found
to be correct, to cause the arrest OF the
| contractor and procure his prosecution.
This Mr.. Simmons will proceed at once
| to do.
1t is stated that Mr.. Baird requires his
! men, whom he brought from Philadelphia,
TO work nine hours every DAY, including
Saturday, and that he pays no more, and in
/ some instances less, than the average rate
! for eight hours service. This, the labor
men say. subjects him to penalties which
it is their duty as upholders of The law to
! see enforced.
The contractors excuse for his action,
| the men allege, is that the work is OF
an eneTgent character, bat they quote as
| authority for contradiction of this claim
| the statements of number of local con-
| tractors of experience, who say that If
/ Mr Baird's allegation is well founded,
! then all forms of roofing work can be SO
! classed. There is not man, they add,
| who undertakes to replace a roof who
| does not find it necessary to take off a
! great many square yards ofthe old material
| at one time, but there is always provision
required and made. for which bond is ex-
| acted, to prevent damage to the building.
| 1t is understood that several union work
men applied at the Pension building for a
| job, but being recognized, they were re-
| fused Their object was to learn for
! themselves, in order to inform their execu-
| tive board that the law was being violated.

FIRST TEST CASE.

Towns Must Refund License Money
 Obtained From Transient Dealers.
 Money Saved by Small Grand
 List.
 The first case for the recovery of license fees paid by transient dealers 10 towns has been decided in Bristol. where a dealer brought suit for $100 and obtained judgment. The town took m appeal, The decision is based upon the finding of the supreme court in the celebrated case of Conlon Brothers of this city. The Messrs Conlon have several suits similar to the Bristol case in the works and many other suits will undoubtedly be brought all over the state.
 Ayear or two ago the subject of graud list revision was discussed in Waterbury in common with other towns of the state. The effort to list property at its full value failed here but was successful in several large cities. Now these towns have ap- pealed to the state legislature to have their lists cut down thirty-three per cent for purpose of state and county taxation. They claim now that they are subject to unjust taxation as compared with most oi the towns, which have left assessments al the old low figures.

 the sacred Heart Church.
 A beautiful statue was received at the SicIed Heart church yesterday from Paris, and will be blessed at the vesPtr servIce on Easter sunday. The subject, Our Lady of Pity" is most appropriate for holy week. It represents the body of tho savior in the arms of his mother after his crucifxion. The death-like color of the divine body and the places where the cruel nails pierced his sacred flesh, as we'll AS the sorrowful features of the mother, are realistically shown.
 The church of the Sacred Heart claims the honor of having the first statue of this kind placed ia this city. The idea and subscription list was formed by young lady of the parish. Miss Margaret Rooney. and the lady herself. AS we'll as those who contributed for the purchase of the hand some statue. feel satisfied that their labor and generosity have bee n amply rewarded.

Tn First One at the state Prison tn
 Twenty Years.
 Warden Woodbridge has a deaf and dumb prisoner on his hands at the state prison. His name Is Edward Kennedy. and he is sentenced to five years imprison- ment for horse stealing He comes from Middletown, being convicted in the Mid dlesex county superior court. He is the thief who stole the team from Cromwell some time ago and was caught in this vicinity. He is 25 years old and a shoe maker by trade. It seems, therefore, that his occupation at the prison ought to be conGenial. Deputy Warden Baisden said yesterday that it was the first deaf and dumb prisoner they had had since he had been at the prison. period of twenty years.
 The warden is just now scheming how his new charge can be instructed As he is deaf he cannot hear the bells calling the prisoners to work or dinner and verbal e1- plantations will obviously be useless. He will apparently have to be worked into the prison routine by the personal supervision of an official, and after that if he is sharp with his eyes he will probably get along all right

General McManus Advocates the State
 Paying Them.
 The committee on military affairs gave a hearing yesterday on the bill providing that old soldiers may sue towns for unpaid town bounties and the statute of imita- tion shall not operate as bar to the suit. Interest is not 10 be paid on the claims, The bill was favored by Joseph A. Gardiner of Mystic, R B. Beebe of Mystic. Joseph Mitchell. who enlisted from Bozrah. but was credited to Montville. Jason r. .Thomp- son of New Haven. wbo thought that the bill should be amended so as to include any claims for unpaid state bounties. and Representative Brewer of Norwich. None of the speakers could estimate how much money would be involved or the number of soldiers who would claim that town or state bounty was due them.
 General Thomas McManus thought that the state could not suspend the statute of limitations as far as it applies to towns or individuals. The state could suspend its operations as far as it applied to claims against itself. He thought that the towns could not be compelled to pay the bounties and he would not compel soldiers to sue the towns. He would have the state pay all the unpaid town bounties from the state treasury upon the production of the proper proofs.

An investigation of the attempt by Rus sian officials in New York to prevent the production of Darkest Russia" which will be seen at Jacques opera house this even ing, led to the unearthing of a secret so- ciety maintained by the Russian govern ment in this country. whose object is to endeavor to overcome any adverse criticism against the czar and nation, and to place Russia in glowing coiors in the eyes of Americans.
