tions are that both sides are just as firm
now as at the start. and. In fact. the
weavers are mort SO. for there are but
a few OF them still unemployed. They
are employed out OF the city making the
cost OF their living much greater than
with their families. for where they are
obliged to pay board each week 1t leaves
them but about one-third Of their weeks
earnings. Then there Is car fare. and
the many necessities that must be pur-
chased away from home that go 10 make
the total expenditure OF the week
quite a sum.
The business men OF the vicinity also
come In for large losses and would like
TO see the struggle ended.
The strike OF the weavers 10 said TO be
the cause OF Anchor lodge OF Odd Fellows

footed A TRUMPET.
A one armed man drove through
Whittier avenue early yesterday morn
ing footing a trumpet and by so doing cer-
tainly did not add TO his popularity for he
disturbed no small number OF persons
who were enjoying their usual Sunday
morning nap.
BREATHING PLACES PREFERRED.
No one In this vicinity can be found
who does not desire Neutaconkanut hill
for park. There are many, however.
who would be better pleased II the same
amount OF money was expended in open
ing UP new and smaller breathing places,

much by older persons as II In very steep.
DEAcoNs WILL PROTEST.
For some time an italian has been In
teh habit OF carting a load Of brewery

TAUGHT HIM A LESSON.
One young man In olneyville lost good
position for a short time for stopping q
car.
He is In the employ OF a well known
business man. whom he had heard say,
that he would do all In his power TO have
the motormen and conductors win this
fight with the railroad eompaHy.-
The yOuuQ man WAS also Of the same
disposition and he manifested the same
when he got an opportunity TO stop his
team In front OF car. He supposed he
was doing just about right.
His employer happened to be in the car
reading a magazine and at first thought
the halt was made to take up n passen-
ger, but when the stop exceeded a minute
or more he looked out OF the front of the
car, and discovered that the cause of the
delay was one OF his own teams. The
business man. who was on his way TO a
bank In the centre OF the city and did not
have many moments to spare. stepped
from the car. and ordered the young man
TO drive off the track
When the young man had completed his
days labor he was told by his employer
that his services would be needed no
longer for the delay had caused the busi-
ness man TO reach the city just after his
bank had closed.
Later in the evening friend OF the
young man called upon the business man
and succeeded in getting him reinstated.
the business man being perfectly salts
fed.
STRIKERS COMMENDED.
The orderly manner OF the striking con-
ductors and motormen In this vicinity has
done much TO of set the acts OF rowdyism
OF the rough element down town, who
are in no way connected with the strike.
paper was circulated among the older
employees OF the Union Railroad last
evening. REQUESTING them to refrain from
working this mcru--g, an dquite q num-
Der. II is said, signed II.
II was intended that the Sc new men
who arrived In the city yesterday from
Maryland to enter the employ of the
Union Railroad company would come to
this terminl. but on account OF the Buff
falo Bill Wild West show. being In Paw
tucket, IL was decided TO send the greater
portion. of them to that city.
Ten of the number were sent to the
Mount Pleasant barn, where they were
cared for.
There were many signs OF rowdyism
on Atwelrs avenue. last evening. and
Patrolman Mooney OF the Chafree street
station had a narrow escape from be-
ing hit with a bullet from a fiobet ri
fie.
At 10 o'clock some one threw n stone
at car. Just it passed the Ridge
street bridge. The stone truck the car
and bounded back hitting a woman in
the head. with sufficient force to rem
der her unconscious for some time. But
she recovered NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
when she recovered she refused to give
her name or address.
This morning on Broadway, a man
driving store team made himself con-
spicuous by stopping car for some time
and IL was only when the passengers OF
the car threatened TO mob him. that
he drove off, for the striking motormen
and conductors do not want this sort
OF tactics used In their battle for what
they desire to be right and just.
