ing, and the others in quick succession
soon after midnight, called the firemen
to Westfield anu Harrison streets,
where they had TO contend with two
different fires in a building, the prop
erty of Charles III. Perkins. The first
fire was not of great consequence and
the damage was comparatively small.
The second fire was so serious that "a
second alarm was sent in. The loss by
the two fires is somewhere in the vicin-
ity OF $4,000, which is covered by in
surance.
The building in which the fires were
is OF wood, three stories in height, and
has a frontage of about 269 feet on
WeStfield street Ii extends about 20
feet on Harrison street. There is an
adj at right angles TO the main
building of the same height. The first

STRIKERS PAID OFF.
Knight Mil Operatives Show no Dis
position TO Return.
Foundry propTIetors Considering the De-
maudS Made by The MolderS.

Yesterday the strikers at the knight
cent due them from the mill and it
averaged less than 81 to each operative.
Ii is the general expressed intention of
the strikers not to give up the fight.
They say they We're cut deeper when
1897 schedule took effect than weavers
when days of prosperity have returned
they get only two-thirds of the cut re-
stored.
The foundrymen of Providence and
Pawtucket are considering the de-
mands of the 5000 iron molders ana
their helpers, presented yesterday, and
contrary to expectation most OF those
seen were of the opinion that it Will be
impossible TO grant the minimum scale
demanded. 1t is contended by foundry
men thar while the price of the manu-
factured article has increased one
fourth of a cent per pound within a
short time, the cost to them of the raw
materials used in production has in
creased three-eighths of cent per
pound. and they actually make less
money now while getting higher price
for their goods than they made some
time ago when they paid less for their
materials.
Some of the castings on the market
hold their place simply because they
are cheap, Il is claimed, but If the price
is advanced. as it will have to be If
wages are raised, the demand for cer-
tain classes of goods viii cease and
men employed in making them must
be discharged.
Twenty-Five laborers employed at the
New England Electrolytic Copper
works, Central Falls. struck yesterday,
demanding an increase i'm wages from
81 % TO Sl.50 per day. n is understood
that the company will 'not accede to
their demands, and that new men Will
be secured TO take the strikers places.

SCHLEY GOES FISHING.

@Tautogs Take the Admirals Bait, and
He Caught Bushel
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who
is spending the summer at Saugatuck
went fishing, Saturday, with Captains
Thomas Smith and Thomas Wright
of East Norwalk. and served the same
trick on the little fishes that he tried
on the Spaniards at Santiago year
ago-captured them all. The So. Nor
walk Sentinel says: "Tbe admiral
alone caught a bushe1 of as fine tau
togs as any one could wish to see.
There were big fishes ana little fishes
in the adniraPs basket when he hauled
his line in for the last time, just as he
had big fry and little fry in his net
when he got through with the Span
iards.
This is Admiral Schley's second trip
after blackfish this summer. They are
not as game as other kinds Of fish he
has caught, but on the hook they are
fighters. If there's anything the admi-
raj likes, it's a fighter A tussel with
a five-pound blackfsh pIeases the naval
hero immensely.
Captain Smith, who keeps the feed
ing grounds of the tautogs like a book
took the admiral to a favorite spot off
Cockneos Island on Saturdays trip.
An early start was made from Sauga-
tuck and the three sea dogs'' arrived
at the fishing grounds in good season.
The tide was right, the Sound was
smooth and the fishing lively Admiral
Schley hauled in the fish in rapid order
and soon had a mess.
Captain Smith says the admiral does
not do much talking when fishing, but
is all absorbed in the sport. He never
speaks of the Santiago affair unIes, it is
to answer question: He. is a fine
man." says Captain Smith, land every
body likes him. You can't help it,
Admiral Schley may go fishing again
before he leaves Saugatuck. He is en-
way and is in excellent health

FOUR PLAYERS RELEASED.
New Haven Will be Greatly Strength

New Haven Will be Greatly Strength
| ened in This Afternoons Game.
| One of the most exciting contests Of
| the season will be the Bristol-New Ha-
ven game at Savn Rock this afternoon.
New Haven by her victory yesterday
evened up matters with Bristol, but the
latter has got too strong a team to let
matters rest. The game this afternoon
will undoubtedly be a fight to finish
In preparation for it Manager Reilly
has let four of the old players go and
proposes to fill their places by new tall
emit Last evening he released Lawlor,
| Bagley, Derwin and O'Brien In their
places will play Cavelle, O'Hara, Wiley
and Davis. Davis played first base in
yesterdays game, and played well. Wi
ley covered right field and also did WE'LL
as did Cavelle, who played right field.
Cavelle formerly played center field on
the Hartford team. OHara, who is ex-
pected to play center field in to-days
game comes from Johnstown, Pa. The
makeup of the rest of the team will be
Stuart second base, Parent short stop,
Glenn third base and Luchia catch.
These with Killen, who played with
the Boston team up to two weeks ago
in the box, will make a team strong
enough to defeat Bristol at its best.
Killen, however, may not arrive in this
city in time for to-day's game and in
that event Mcdonald will pitch. Smoot,
Burns and Clark, the players who were
secured from the Atlantic City team,
have not yet arrived. The New Haven
management, however, is not building
its hopes on them as it is probable that
they We're offered more money and de-
cided to remain where they were.
Captain Ashe said last evening that
if New Haven wins to-day's game he is
confident that they will secure the pen
nant.

IN CAMP ONCE MORE,

After a lapse of one year, the Con-
necticut National Guard went into
camp at Mantle this morning and be-
gan a tour of duty for a week. The
camp will lack that completeness that
marked the last few years Of its exist
ence before the break made by the
Spanish war The regiments will not
be strong with The exception of the
Second and it will be like beginning
anew as so many of the men will be in
camp for the first time. 1t will not
take long, however, to work the brig
ade over into the same disciplined body
that the state maintained up to the
call for troops to invade Cuba.
The experience Of last year was a
great disappointment TO the citizens of
the state, but the fault was with the
their discipline, Out of the experience
of last year, however ought to come a
new national guard that will have few
flaws and one that will be ready for
duty when wanted next time, The new
national guard ought to be a body that
can be relied upon in an emergency to
do duty at once, and one in which every
officer and man will know that he has a
duty 10 perform II Cdlleu upon, anu no
option as to turning out for a specific
term of service when the nation calls
for the national guard.
There will be some experiments tried
this year. notably the experiment of
having the rations of the men cooked
by company cooks. 1t may not result
in quite as good a meal for the men
three times a day as were given by the
caterers in former times, but the meals
will be good enough, and If the cooking
be good the change will be for the bet
ter, and certainly it will make the
guard ready to take care OF itself in
time of war, or in any other emergen-
cy. There is an idea that there will be
the maximum of work this season and
the minimum of play and chance for
the soldier boys to popularize them
selves with the citizens of the state, so
that there will be no question about
appropriations of money for the main
tenance of the national guard and for
it's proper arming and equipping.-
