 bers by the detectives of the West Shore railroad stationed at Newburg, N. r., has disclosed the whereabouts of large quantity of merchandise which has been missed from the freight

 Work in all departments at Sargent & Co.'S factory, New Haven, was re- stunned yesterday A great many of the strikers got their places back, but I very few did not Most of the metal workers and polishers were placed at their old jobs, but with the laborers it was another story. Those who quit work four or five weeks ago to go on strike expected that when they would
 return yesterday morning they would
 get their old jobs back. Some of the strikers attempted to oust men yester~
 day who took their places while the strike was on, but the foremen inter- fered and assigned men who were l teamsters to work in the yard. Myron Dimock of Crystal lake, Rock- vile, whose barn was burned early Sunday evening, discovered what ap- peared to be human bones in the de- bris yesterday. He brought them to
 Rockville and they were examined by | Drs Winship and O'Loughlin, who pro~ nounced them the bones of human being. Mir Dimock left them at the livery stable of W. H. Skinner, where 1 they were examined bv several curi- ous ones. The theory is that a tramp. who was seen about Crystal lake Sat- l,urday and Sunday. went to the barn to pass the night and while smoking set 1 fire to the hay. It was said the man seen about the place was intoxicated. l If this was the fact it makes the story
 all the more probable that man was burned In the fire.
