Special Meeting of Striking brtdSe and
 Structural Union Last Night-One Offer of Berlin Construction Company
 DeCIined- Bridgeport Men Resume
 Work TO-tiay.
 A special meeting of the Bridge and Iron Structural Workers union was held in the Insurance building last night for the purpose of considering the present strike, which has stopped oper- ations on a number of buildings in New Haven, Hartford. Bridgeport, Water bury, and Ansonia. It was stated that the differences with the Pennsylvania Steel company, which has the contract for the bridge work for the Consolidated roads new bridge in Bridgeport, had been settled and that the men would re- turn to work this morning. This com- pany has granted the men forty cents per hour and a nine hour day.
  Construction company had informed the contractor for the Chase rolling mill of Waterbury that they would agree to such an arrangement as far as the work on that structure was concerned. This was thoroughly considered at the meet ing last night, but it was decided that the men should not return to work on any of the contracts until the company and also the American Bridge company had granted their request in full and that this scale be established as gen. eral for the government of all the Iron and Bridge workers in the state. u
 In consequence of this the situation remains unchanged and no work will be done until an ultimatum of the two companies concerned is received.
 Bridgeport, Sept. 10-- The strike of the structural iron workers on the con- tract of the American Bridge company, constructing the Yellow Mill bridge here will not interfere with the work. W. H. Marigold, chairman of the building com- mittee, said to-day that the bridge was practically completed, a little rivetting and painting only remains to be done and that will be pushed to completion regardless of the strike. Up to this time no agreement has been reached regard ing the demands of the union.
 Waterbury, Sept. 10.-There is noth- ing new in the strike of the structural iron workers here to-day. The brick layers deny that they intend to go out in sympathy with the iron workers. Ansonia, Sept. 1G.--The situation in | the strike of the Berlin Iron Bridge fCo.'s employees remains unchanged in this city up to o'clock this afternoon. Rumors are afioat that head officials from Philadelphia are on their way to this city, but the strikers claim that set clement can only be effected through the Structural Workers union
 A body of strikers visited the shops of the American Brass Co. here to-day, where the Berlin Construction company has a gang of men at work, with the intent of inducing these men to join in the general strike. When the purpose of. the delegation was made known at the office of the American Brass Co. the men were refused admittance.

Il safe to say that none Of them ever
returned to California, In 1850 the
remaining half Of those gamblers
went over the mountains to the Com
stock mines and In a year or two every
one Of them bad died with his boots
ON. A man who was In Sacramento
IN 1851 told me that he went into the
same gambling hell where saw Reid
bucking at faro, one night, and no
sooner had be entered the door than
he saw a crowd OF men walking up 70
the bar and call for drinks. Then q
few loud words we're passed and pistols
were drawn and in less than half q
minute three dead men lay on the
floor. Then the bar-keepers came
around the bar and picked the bodies
up and carried them out into the back
yard and threw them into some dry
goods boxes. The blood was quickly
mopped from the floor and a stranger
entering the room five minutes after
wards would not have known thai
anything OF the kind had happened
1t would be well for all young men T.
impress it upon their youthful minds
that If they want TO live honest, hon
orable and useful lives, it would b
better for them to never drink, smoke
or gamble.

SAD CASE OF NEGLECT.
Mother of Thirty-seven Children Har-
bored in a County Hospital
Widowed During the War.

William J.. Fox, Of Denver, Col,
sends the following clipping from the
Denver Repablicun with this comment;
81 thought maybe the old lady had
relatives IN Mexico, Mo. Anyway,
this seems to be a case for the EXON
federates to look into Tbs clip
ping relates:
The county hospital has since last
September sheltered and provided for
Nn. Mary Gillespie, who is SO.
years old, feeble and III with the dis
eases incident to old age. No rela-
tiyes come to visit her; there seems to
TO be 20 one 70 whom she can turn for
help and comfort in the last years Of
her life. And yet this old lady, oul-
tured in speech, Of gentle and digni-
FED demeanor, Is the mother Of 81
children. Where those children are
she does not know, and neither have
those IONS and daughters any knowl-
edge Of their mothers whereabouts.
Il Is a curious case, anequalled 10
the history Of the hospital, and, ac-
oording 20 the doctors, rarely heard Of
in the worlds record Of births. But
the hospital physicians are convinced
that her story is true, and their only
cause Of surprise is that now at the
last, she has no one TO care for her ex-
cept the charity nurse.
What unfortunate turn In circum-
stances has deprived her Of her chill
dren's society, Mrs. Gillespie viii not
reveal. The fact that in motherhood
she is virtually a prodigy does not ap-
pear to please OF distress her.
She tells the inquirer that she had
had 81 children in much the same toni
of voice that another woman woulC
announce that she had three. fhirt.
-Qf Mrs. Gillespiels childrgn were twins
have TO y very recently fhat anything
nndertak storE Became known to th,
waaYaoai authorities. She had said
that she was but once married anC
that her husband was Col. William
Gillespie OF Virginia. She was jus
past 20 when the wedding took place
Within 20 years all the children werI
born. Fourteen pairs Of twins an'
the seven other children came befor
her husband enlisted in the Con
federate army. A year before he wa
killed during the last siege Of Vicks
burg the last pair Of twins was born.
Mrs. Gillespie says that ''all but
few Of the children lived, but hal
early TO go out to make their nov
living. They drifted away and for
while she kept track Of them. The
her memory began to fail with adyanC
ing years and now she knows Of bu
one sons whereabouts. Why he doe
not come TO her she does not say. Tn
only thing which she seems to treas
ure Is a heavy gold locket in which is
picture Of her oldest daughter and on
Of herself and her youngest daughters
taken together a great many year
