DIVORCE LIBEL FILED.
John F. Jandron, counsel for Amelia
Aldrich of this city, filed a petition Sat-
urday for divorce, for his client, from
her husband, Henry Aldrich, alleging
sdesertion as the cause for the separa-
ton. The hbellant alleges that she was
married to the libellee October 10, 1891,

her husband deserving her in the latter
place in 1892.
CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT, UT
LEY. J.-JANUARY s.
At the civil session of the central dis
trict court Saturday morning, Charlie
Kirascky, Polish farm laborer, who
speaks very indifferent English, brought
suit against George C. Bond, a Holden
farmer, to recover some $50 which he
claims to be due him in wages. Kirasc-
ky told the court through an interpre-
ter, that he had worked for Bond for
about two years. When he got through
last fall Bond owed him about $50. In
stead of cash Bond gave him 4 note pay
able April /, 1888. Kirascky did not
know what the note was, but claims
Bond TOLD him he could get his money
by presenting it at bank. When he
came to the city he presented the note
at a bank but was refused payment He
was unwilling to wait until next April
for his money, as he had never con-
scented to, and accordingly brought suit
Bond claims that Kirascky understood
the matter thoroughly and said it was
all right When he settled up with the
man he did not have the ready cash, so
gave him note, which he supposed the
man understood. Bonds testimony was
cerroborated by his wife, in part. The
court reserved its decision.
The following decisions have been
handed down in cases tried last week:
Duprey VS., Stolilser, Judgment for de-
fendant; Chadwick G. Co. vs.. Gilbert
Loom Company, judgment for plaintiff
for $2S96S; Forehand VS.. Brannon, judg-
mentAfor plaintiff for $40.
Two men and two women appeared

enness. Minnie Corcoran was sent to
the state farm for one year Lulu Grout

in her arms and pleaded guilty. Law
Yer OConnell said the woman was anx-
ious to leave the city. He understood
she had friends in Boston to whom she
could go. The case was continued to
the 18th.
Robert King, colored, and Patrick
Mooney were fined $40 each. They were
unable to pay and were remanded to the
house Of correction.

sToNEcUTrERs' STRIKE.
Mayor Dodge Will Make No Discrimi-
nation Among the Men

delegation from the local labor or
CARNATIONS, consisting of Jefferson D.
Pierce, Thomas Crowley, Michael Bergin
and Louis Martin, waited ON Mayor
Dodge Saturday, in the interests of the
union stonecutters who have refused to
work with non-union men on the Can
terbury street school house job, and,
after listening to their arguments,
Mayor Dodge Informed them That he
would make no discrimination in favor
of or against the union men In city
work, and that he would instruct the
superintendent Of public buildings to
hire the best men he could to do the
job.
Messrs. Pierce and Crowley were the
Spokesman of the party, and, after
they stated their case, in which they
claimed that the reason they wanted
tine work done by the union men was
that the non-union men were incom-
petent, Mayor Dodge said he was not
called upon to decided the competency
of the men nor their affiliations with
the labor organizations, All the labor
ers are hired under the civil service
rules, and the rules make no distinc-
ton. The chief demands are that the
laborers shall be competent to do the
Work Uney are n1r6Q I0r ana IHdI they
shall be citizens of Worcester. Under
the law, he could not demand the dis
charge of any man because Of his con-
nection or non-connection with any or
ganization, and he would instruct the
superintendent of public buildings to
hire the most competent men, irrespec-
tive of their affiliations with any union.
The chances are that If the union men
refuse to go to work Monday morning,
Superintendent Peck will make a re-
auisition on Clerk J. M. Gallagher Of
the registration bureau for more men,
and If union men refuse to go to work,
he will hire non-union to do the job.
According to the statements of the nom
union men, there are 20 competent
stonecutters in the city who are not
members of the union, and they can be
secured to do the job. The action Of the
union men in this matter has given the
day labor plan for the construction OF
public buildings something of set
back, and it is now expected in some
quarters that rather than have the Can
terbury street school constructed by
non-union labor an attempt will be
made by the union men and their
friends to have the order for the con-
struction of the building repealed and
then have the job done by contract

street, Mrs. Catherine Millea, Mrs. Jas.
Bowes and Miss Rose Gallagher, all of
whom reside in the vicinity of Spruce
street, had an experience in a runaway
hack, Saturday morning, that they will
not care to repeat.
The four ladies had returned from the
cemetery, after attending the funeral of
Frank p. O'Day, and were preparing
TO alight from the carriage near the
home of Miss Carroll. One of the la
dies handed the driver bill in payment
and, as he had no change, he stepped
into a nearby store to get change. The
horses took fright at some children who
We're ooasting in the vicinity, and start
ed off on a run. AS the horses started,
Miss Gallagher jumped and escaped in
jury. Mrs. Bowes, who sat near the
door, also got out unframed. The re-
naming occupants of the carriage were
not so fortunate, however, Miss Car
roll sprang from the carriage while it
was at full speed, striking the ground
with such force as to break her right
arm at the elbow. Mrs. Millea, in at
tempting to jump, was thrown heavily
to the ground. but escaped with thor
ough shaking up and a few minor in

Miss Carroll was taken to her home.
where she was attended by her brother

lahan The broken arm proved her
only injury, and she is reported resting
as comfortably as can be expected The
