 The following resolution was passed:
 "Whereas. The coal miners are en- gagged in an honorable effort to better a condition of degradation brought upon them by the avariciousness of the coal barons, therefore be 1t
 Resolved, That we, the representa- tives of Ancient Order of Hibernians of New Haven county, in convention assembled, express our admiration Tor. the fortitude and courage manifested by the striking miners, and pray that their efforts may be crowned with sue cess
 It was voted to recommend to the Right Rev Bishop Tierney that the Rev James McGuane of this city be named as chaplain of the Hibernians of New Haven county. A vote of thanks was passed thanking the local Hihernians for the reception rendered to the dele. gates.
 Timothy F. Luddy, the new county president, is a young man, active, well | informed in matters pertaining to Irish affairs in this as well as other coun- tries, popular among the people of this ] town, wnere he has lived for the past twenty-one years. and possesses all the l qualities that make for success In an organization. He was for many years clerk in the employ of the Miller & | Peck Go, but retired from that position q couple of years since to accept an appointment as assistant inspector of meters in the bureau of water, where he has proved himself a very useful and agreeable employe. He is a mem Der of the Third division, A. o.

Although young l in years Mir Luddy might be called a veteran in the fight for better system | of government for Ireland than the ] one it now enjoys and has struggled along under for centuries past. In the l days of the Irish National league meet l lngs in Waterbury he was one of its Warmest supporters and contributed his share to that and other similar movements directed towards the up building of mankind in other parts of ] the world In measure the prosper ous Gaelic Literary society of this city owes its success to Mir Luddy. who from the beginning. has been untiring in his efforts on it's behalf, working In sI season and out of season, until finally 9 the organization reached point where I its future could no longer be considered in doubt.

SUPERIOR COURT NEWS.
Matthews < Willard Matter Set Down for Next Friday By Judge Thayer.

Matthews < Willard Matter Set Down
 for Next Friday By Judge Thayer.
 The difficulties of the Matthews X Willard company were revived before Judge Thayer at short calendar of the superior court in New Haven yester- day. A motion was on the dock ct to dissolve the injunction which re- strains the majority of the board of directors and stockholders of the com pany from transferring any of the property to the custody of the Scovill Manufacturing company. This was the old motion which was argued be- fore Judge Roraback in Winsted some time ago. It will be recalled that the minority procured this in- junction from a judge of the superior court in New Haven, and the news that such action had been taken caus- ed some surprise. It did not, however, take the majority of the stockholders unawares. They had been expecting some such action because of the con- test at the meeting of the board of di- rectors at which vote was passed that to liquidate the company's in- debtedness to the Scovill Manufacture ing company it would be better to transfer the property to that concern. The Matthews x Willard company owed the Scovill company at that time about $160000.
 The minority at the same time also filed a motion in the superior court for receiver for the company. Judge Roraback refused to grant that mo- tion, and at the subsequent hearing he also refused to dissolve the in junction, so that both sides to the con test won point of about equal value. Judge Roraback's reason for dissolv- Ling the injunction was that the mi nority ought to be given time to audit the books, in short to take inventory for they held that it would be a great injustice to them to transfer an en- tire plant like the Matthews & Will lard's to liquidate debt of q paltry $160,0O0. He thought this work could be done or ought to be done in a month.
 That time has passed and the mi nority have not taken any steps <O investigate the books or take any ac- tion in the direction suggested by
 Judge Roraback. Why they have not done so is a mystery because that was their main argument when the mo- 1 tion was before Judge Roraback. 1 Judge Thayer said he had not time 1 to hear the motion and set it down
 for next Friday. '
 Another. matter of local importance l that was brought up was a motion to hear an old case of the New Haven
 Trust company against John B. Do
 herty. This also went over to next 4 week.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

Of course she was indignant when Il dawned upon her that some one was trying to fiirt with her. Yet there was no denying the fact that the man be- hind her had kept steadily after bei since she had left the street car.
 "And he's old enough to be in better business. " she said to herself indignant. ly. "I'll cross the street just to mai'e yure whether he is really following"
 She crossed the street, and so did he. Then sho turned on him.
 "Sir," she said. "why do you per sist in following mel"
 He started. as if disturbed in the midst of some abstruse mental calcula' tion.- and for a minute seemed to be bo- wildered. Then he bowed oourteously and said:
 "Madam. why do you persist in pre- ceding me-"
 Two doors farther on he turned in. producing latohkey as he did so and showing in other ways that he had reached his destination. She turned back and went round tho block rather than pass that house, md her face was still red when she reached home. Chi cago Post
