SENATOR BECOMES TRUcKMAN.
John A. Ferris of South Norwalk
Drives His Own Coal Cart

Norwalk, Nov 19.-Because their
employers have refused to recognize
their newly formed union, 200 truck
men, members of the Transfers, nm
Ion, No los, of NorWa1k, are out on
strike, and many coal dealers. boss
truckmen, lumber and grain mer-
chants are greatly hampered in their
business.
Coal dealers especially are much
crippled, and work on several new
buildings in Norwalk, including the
new Carnegie library and the silk
mills, is frequently at a standstilI for
lack OF material, which since the
strike can only be procured after much
ueiay- The bosses themselves and
male members of their families and
their Office force are often seen driving
trucks and coal carts.
State Senator John II. Ferris. q
leading coal dealer, spent much time
last week delivering loads of coal. as
did the firm of Raymond Brothers
deacons in the South Norwalk Metho-
dist church. They shoveled on their
loads at the yards and shoveled them
on at the houses of customers. The
cries of "Scab!" were answered ONLY
by grim smiles.
It was stated last evening that one
of Senator Ferris non-union men was
fred at from ambush at dusk and
wounded.
Leading members of the Transfers
union declare that if the bosses do not
yield a sympathetic strike of other
trades unions in Norwalk will be or
dered
A boycott has been ordered against
persons accepting goods delivered by
non union teamsters. A South Nor
walk woman yesterday refused ton
of coal delivered at her house by a
non-union driver, because of a threat
that il she did her husband. a clerk
in large financial institution, would
be discharged.

Additional police and fire protection
formed the main topic of discussion
at the semi-monthly meeting of the
board of public safety last evening. The
full board was present and Commits
sloner Reeves was chairman. The com
mlttee appointed some time ago to re
port on the advisability of building 8
retaining wall on the site of the pro-
posed engine house in Brooklyn re
ported no wall was necessary The
sum of $3.50 had been set aside for such
wall. Instead of building a wall. the
nelghbors propose to the city to fill in
the space where the wall would be at
cost OF not more than $50. This
proposition was accepted and the CITY

reminded the board that the board of
aiuefmen can make a special apDrOnri-

sary. Commissioner Taylor, who GEN
orally sees a short way to these maj
tefs, moved that all the petitioners he
cited to appear before the board at
thelr next meeting. Similar disnosi-
tlon was made of the petition of Alder
man Louis Gates for police protection
IN Wateryille. The petition of q NJ

on Slmsbury street and of D. G. Por-

pfesslon that only the board of alder
men can appoint special constables
with pay. This seemed to be the main
point in the petitions, one of them sue.-
costing that the constable, if appoint
ed, be paid only when he makes p
necessary arrest or quells a disturb
ance, or in any other manner shows
that his services are worth financial
consideration. Some of the members
OF the board did not hesitate to ex-
press themselves on the attitude of

the idea of the board, want everything
but will not pay for anything if they
can avoid it.

RECEIVED SERIOUS INJURIES.
Andrea Della Bella Struck by Bar
of Metal Lat Monday.

3---AACo LENA Ocll1 OlIuCh ny Dbl
of Metal Lat Monday.
Andrea Della Bella, who lives at 61O
Bank street, is lying at deaths door
as result of injuries received while at
work at the Holmes, Booth & Haydens
concern on Monday night. All hopes
OF his recovery have been given up by
the several doctors who have been at
tending him, and it is only question
of few hours in their opinion when
he shall have breathed his last.
Andrea, who is about % years of
age, was employed in the rolling mill
of the Holmes, Booth & Haydens con-
Germ. While at work in the factory on
Monday night, shortly before 8 o'clock,
when his days work would be over, a
piece of a bar of metal is said to have
fallen from one of the machines and
struck him on the side of the body,
right across the liver. He fell to the
floor, but was able to regain his feet
and walked over to his brother, who
also works in the mill. Then he fell
again. He was carried to his home
and DIR De Liguori was summoned.
His condition was not considered seri-
Gus then, but that night it grew worse
and worse. The next day three other
DR. Crane and DR. Parish, but they could
do nothing to save the mans life. They
at once saw that their aid would be of
little avail. The man was injured in
ternally. Since then his condition has
grown worse, so that now it is only a
question Of few hours before the end.
