- PLEA IN ABATEMENT.
Hearing on O'Brien- Mcdonnell Case
 This Morning.


 There was a hearing in the district court to-day on a plea in abatement in the case of John O'Brien vs Frank Mcdonnell of Watertown.It was dis coverEd that the writ served upon Me Donnell was defective, the officer hav- ing neglected to attach his name to it. Attorney Guilfoile appeared for the plaintiff and Attorney Russell for the defendant. This case arose out of the ejectment of O'Brien and his fam fly from house owned by the de- fendant and not in twenty years has such a suit been heard before in New Haven county. 1t is known as suit in detainer and for possession of the premises from which the plaintiff claims to have been elected. The defense is that the owner knew noth- ing about it. The hearing will take place Monday afternoon at ? o'clock before Judge Peasley.

MILL WA|T ANOTHER YEAR
Chicago Cigarmakers' Unior
 Will Not Make Demand now.

Employes are Now Fighting the To
 bacco Trust, and They Do Not Want
 to Add to Their Expense Trust Fac
 tories are Run by Non-Union Help.
 Chicago, Dec 13.-Three thousand members of the Cigarmakers' union will wait for another year before de manding wage increase, because they no not wish to increase the expenses of their employers, who are fighting the sO-called tobacco trust.
 For several months a large propor- tion of the membership of the union has been agitating the introduction of the Spanish bill system of making cigars. This would increase the wage of the Workmen from $4 to $5 thou sand. So eager were the agitators to have the system introduced that they were willing to strike to gain it.
 George J. Thompson then told of the struggle of the independent and union manufacturers to resist the inroads of the so-called trust. The trust factories he asserted are run by non-union and under-paid women and children, so that the combination can sell cigars at from .$2 to $6 a thousand less than the inde.k.ldents. The strike talk was dropped.

MY SUE CONSOLIDATED
For Confiseating Coal from
 South ERooklyn Company.

The Railroad Company Has Been Ac-
 cused Several Times Before-Con-
 densers in Chemical Company Plant
 Were Damaged on Account of the
 Shortage. <. t.5g@.t 4h
 It is reported that the Kalbaeisch chemical company in South Brooklyn intends bringing suit against the Con- solidated railroad company for con- fiscation of coal. It is admitted that in crises like the present, when coal is as available to q railroad company as a boiled shirt front is to a dancing master, the company by right of emi- nent domain, can seize all coal in transit on their railroads. But they must pay for it eventually and it is presumed the railroad company is willing to do this. The chemical com pany, however claim they have suf- fered grievious injury by the railroad company's act of confiscation of their coal. They allege that the condensers in their factory, very vital part of their machinery was seriously damag- ed by being frozen through lack of heat, which was caused by the act of confiscation on the part of the rail- road company.

THIS IS GENUINE WINTER WEATHER
DRUG CLERKS HOURS.
Short Day the Rule in Many Towns in
 York State.

There will be a meeting of the Irish American Athletic association to-mOr- row at 10:3O a. m. ill the Hibernian hall, East Main street. A cordial in- vitation is extended to all the young men of this city to be present. The membership is getting so large since it's organization that steps may be taken tomorrow to raise the initiation fee.
 Not all the proprietors of drug stores ill the city are so strongly opposed to the proposition of the drug clerks for shorter hours, etc, as the action taken by the Waterbury Pharmaceutical as- sociation at it's meeting yesterday would indicate. McLinden Bros, drug. gists, have signed the agreement, and several other proprietors have signifed their intention to do so. The action taken by the association yesterday will probably be considered by the Drug Clerks union at it's meeting on next Tuesday night. In regard to early closing arrangements the Bulletin of Pharmacy says: '.The early closing reform is dear to our hearts and we are pleased to report that ararnge- ments were perfected last month ill several places. Ill the town of Padu- cah, Ky, it was decided to close on Sunday between the hours of II a. III. asd 6 p. m., provision being made for a temporary opening of the stores for the purpose of supplying legitimate medical need. Tn the two Tonawanda towns in New York the stores will be closed all winter at 9 o'clock every night save Saturday. It is in Chicago, though. that something really surpris- ing has been done. The six druggists of Anchor avenue. from Throop street west to the bridge, have mutually agreed to close four of their stores every Sunday from i to 10 p. m." The movement for shorter hours for drug clerks is spreading all over the coun- try. In Pittsburg, Allegheny, Elmira. Jersey City and other places the drug clerks are asking and will probably receive shorter hours of work during 41x II.

TIE HIGH WATER MARK
More Than 1 300 Tons of Coal Turned Out Thursday.

This Is the Normal Daily Output of the Reading Company Mines-If This Output Continues the Company
 Expects Soon to Be Able to Relieve the Coal Situation.
 Philadelphia, Dec 13.-Reports to the Reading railway offices show that on Thursday the mines of the company reached the high water mark of pro- duction since the resumption of mining, with an output of 1905 cars from the company's thirtyone collieries. This is practically the normal output of the company, and exceeds the production in the past when the company had thirty seven collieries working. With continuance of this production and the probability of it's being considera- bly, increased when the company gets it's remaining collieries in operation, coupled with a gradual increase from other sections of the anthracite region, there is a fair prospect of relief from the present coal stringency. A more hopeful view of the future is being taken by the trade.
 A delegations of Washingtonians called upon General Manager Tender son of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and iron Go, and upon the coal officials of the Pennsylvania railroad, with view to having anthracite ship ments to that city increased. The gen tlemen composing the party are dele gates to the convention of the Nation al Civil Service Reform association and took advantage of their presence here to have the coal supply for Washington increased. Assurances that the best possible would be done under the cir cumstances were made to the visitors.
