SUBSTANTIAL AID

Offered by Local Carpenters and Join-
 CTS to Trolley Employees.
 The local union of the United Brother hood of American Carpenters and Jon- CTS held a special meeting in room IA in the Masonic building last evening to discuss the situation of the trolley strike, and, besides offering financial aid to the railroad employees, the following resolutions were adopted:
 Whereas, The conductors and motor. men of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company are now on a strike for the right to organize to protect their just rights as free and indepen-- dent Workmen.
 Resolved, That we condemn the ar bitrary and unlawful attitude of the management of said company in refus- ing the right of the men to organize for mutual protection as shown in the dis charge of some of the more active mem- bers in the organization,
 Be it further resolved, That the members of our organization pledge themselves not to patronize the cars of said company until such company shall have settled the grievance to the satis- faction of their employees"
 The carpenters and joiners voted to render substantial financial aid to the strikers just as soon as the strikers re- quest it.

CONFERENCE WITH OFFICERS.
Business Men Meet President Parmelee
 and Directors.

Business Men Meet President Parmelee and Directors. | Yesterday forenoon at Il o'clock The joint citizens committee met at the Of- flee of the Fair Haven and Westv!ll road. in the Malley building. the oti.- cers If the road present being President Parmelee and Directors Wilbur F. Day and George D. Watrous.
 Chairman E. E. Bradley pr5 sented the attitude of the joint committee, which, he said, was to endeayor to effect a set tlcment by bringing the officials and the employes together After the chairman had stated the case Secretary Slade read papers presented by the strikers to the joint committee, in which the strikers requested that all men dis charged without just reasons be rein stated, and that the union be recogniz- ed.
 When the reading was finished Pres ident Parmelee asked that the name of the striking employees union be repeat ed, and when this was done he re- marked: By this do you mean our workmen?"
 MT. Watrous said: Recognition of the union is an ambiguous phrase. What does this consist of?'' The committee then explained the po- sition taken by MT. Fitzgerald, at the joint meeting earlier in the morning, that the men simply desired immunity from discharge, if the only complaint against them was in belonging to the union.
 President Parmelee said: Tt has not been the policy of the road to discharge men simply because they belong to la bor unions"
 "The men have felt" said Mir. Galla- gher. that this has been the case, and it struck them as remarkable that the officers elected by their union are the ones that were discharged" It was ad- mitted. however, that such a thing might happen.
 President Parmelee said: "It is my belief that seven of the men were discharged before the agitation in be- half of the union began"
 Then the committee members asked why the employees had been discharged. The question was put fairly for the of- f1cers to answer. but direct reply was avoided, not only by the directors, but by the president.
 Then followed a general discussion which ended in proposition that the committee select two prominent men, not interested either in employers or employees to act as a committee to whom the officials of the railroad should disclose in confidence why the various men were discharged by the company. This information, it was suggested, should not be divulged to any one ex- cept the two men selected by the com- mittee, and these two men were alone to pass judgment upon the justness of the discharges.
 President Parmelee said he saw no objection to this plan, and the meeting then adjourned

STRIKERS IN SESSION,
Twenty-Five New Members Taken I,

Twenty-Five New Members Taken Into
 the Union-Other Business.
 A meeting of the local division of the Amalgamated Association of Railway Employees oe America, as the union of the conductors and motorTen Is known, was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock at Aurora hall. Twenty-Five new members were added to the roll, thus taking all but three out of 460 men on the road.
 Addresses upon the strike situation were made by Organizers O'Neil and Hare, and Chairman Fitzgerald of the executive committee.
 One of the most important matters transacted was that of constituting the new organization a body of guardians of the peace. Every member has been provided with badges, which have been donated by the Gamble Desmond com- pany and every member is to patrol the streets and quell any riotous disturber.
 The members of the union expressed their gratitude to the Bikes the Eagles and to the various fraternal organiza- tions that have extended their support to the movement.
 At the adjournment twenty-five pounds of tobacco and two hundred pipes were presented to the men by c. J. Rabanus and during the social session the men smoked and chatted, several sang and others played the piano.

MRS. ALEXANDER INSANE,
Noted Murderess Transferred from State
 Prison to Insane Hospital.

Noted Murderess Transferred from State
 Prison to Insane Hospital.
 Bridgeport, August S.-Lieutenant Cover nor Keeler yesterday authorized Warden Garvin of the state prison to transfer Mrs. Lorena Alexander, life prisoner, from the prison to the State Hospital for the Insane at Middletown. The state prison, as Is, well known, has an insane ward, but there is no apartment in it for women. and 1t was necessary to have Mrs. Alexander trans ferred where she can have proper care. -
 Mrs. Alexander, in connection with Frank Bassett. a young man then about 24 years old, while the woman was A, was convicted In 1878 in this city of the murder of an idle, good-for- nothing fellow known as Suffering Jack" under circumstances ing" or killing a man for the purpose of selling his body to be dissected. Bassett was Mrs. Alexander's soaramour and the victim was an occasional visitor to the house on William street where the two lived. One afternoon while he was asleep on the lounge, poison was administered to him, with the result that he never awoke. | It appeared from the testamony that after the murder the woman and Bassett packed the body of "Stuttering Jack into heavy barrel and loaded it upon a wagon.
 Bassett started for New Haven to deliver it to the Yale Medical school for dissection. Mrs. Alexander having sold 1t. The man had been reported as missing and, neigh bors having suspicious, authorities followed the team. Bassett, becoming frightened drove to a by-road and rolled the barrel into the ditch beside the road. where It was found. The two were arrested. tried and convicted of the crime, Mrs. Alexander be- Ing convicted at the November term of the superior court for Fairfield county in 1878. Bassett was convicted the following March.
 The two were practically without friends, but the trial was one of the noted ones in the history of murder trials in Connecticut.

STATEMENT BY THE MAYOR.

 Mayor Studley said last night: T sin cerely hope that both sides will concede something, and that an amicable and satisfactory settlement can be effected at once. The trolley railroad accommo- dates so many thousands and is so great convenience to the public, with it's low fare and quick transportation, that the standstill is hardship upon many. That this inconvenience has been borne in a spirit of quiet and or derliness is source of qualification. It speaks we'll for our city to those living elsewhere. On the other hand, the peo- pie believe that the employees of the company have certain rights which men everywhere have in common. am un- willing to predict anything about the probabilities of a settlement, although hope for the best, believing that by this time all parties can see about what is fair, right and just. I have not per sonally inquired into the merits of the matter, for that is a business transac- ton between the Fair Haven and West vile Railroad company and it's em- ployes. My sole aim has been, and is. to preserve the peace, to prevent blood shed and riot, and to protect property; and to enable each party to assert it's rights in the hope that reason will pre- vail and an amicable settlement be made. I sincerely hope that both the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company and the strikers will heed the advice of the business mems commit tee"

THE MAIL CARRIAGE.

The mails were brought into and talk l en out of the city yesterday more 1 promptly than Wednesday. With the , exception of the East Haven and Fair Haven mails, the railroad company used teams to transport the matter. This was due to the fact that the road electricity. The West Haven power house was not running, the officials having decided that it would be cheap CT to carry the mails by wagon than to run both power houses. No revenue was coming in and the power furnished from the Fair Haven plant was suffi- cient to supply the company's needs until it begins to run cars.
 1 The situation in the center of the city was changed wonderfully from Wednes- day. Occasionally car with a United States mail card attached and bearing the sign "No Passengers passed through the central streets, but there was no demonstration of any kind. The men discussed the various reports and rumors with interest, and all seemed to think that a settlement would soon be reached
 1 It was lcpoIlcu at llie eduQudTl6FS of the strikers yesterday morning that a number of men who had been hired in Providence and Pawtucket to come here and work on the trolley cars had turned back when they reached New London. The strikers have rickets sta tioned at New London, Bridgeport, Hartford and other, cities with instruc- tions to use every lawful means to pre- vent men from coming to New Haven to work on the cars.

CANUCK WISDOM.
Knew How to Select Food,

A good healthy Canadian takes pleas ure in telling about food, and how he got well using the right kind of food and drink.
 He says, Tn Nov. '99 I began to feel bad every day and gradually got worse l. did not lose my appetite. On the con- trary after having good meal I felt better, but after being at work perhaps an hour or so I would have terrible pains all over my body. I lost consid- erable time from my work, sometimes a few hours and sometimes two or three days.
 Finally I went to the Winnipeg Hos pital for thorough examination and was told it was simply indigestion. Certainly 1t was simply indigestion, but never had anything make me feel worse. I can sympathize with any one who has simply Indigestion
 We'll dragged through the Winter in about the same condition and got a little better in the Summer, but in Oct, 1900, the same old pains came back and concluded must change my diet if l expected to get any comfort, so I quit drinking tea and went on Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
 I ordered these articles from the gro- cer and expected to have them for SUD- per, I had felt so bad that day. Of course the grocer was late in delivering them, so I laid on the couch until they came and ate supper about seven D. m. After supper I did what I had not done tor weeks before, I walked into the sit ting room, lighted my pipe and read the evening paper and forgot ever felt bad.
 wondered if the old pain would come back, but it never did, and right from the first I improved. I have since worked constantly and hard and have not laid off once on account of ill health and have not once suffered from indi- gestion since that first meal of Grape Nuts and Postum.
 This letter is the straight truth. It may be long but don't see how I could tell my experience in less space" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

WEED WILKES, 2:1O1s.

Recently Sold to a Resident of Milford
 Facts About the Pedigrees of Two
 Horses.
 The fine pacer Weed Wilkes, 2:101s. has recently been purchased by E. l.. Nettleton. of Milford, who has placed him in the hands Of George W. Smith. The pacer has been owned by Doolittle Brothers. of this city. for about two years and half. and on account of his good style on the road has attracted considerable attention in New Haven.
 Some time ago newspaper contain ed the statement that Weed Wilkes, 2:10h, and Guinette, 2:05, were full brothers. This statement is not cor rect, although the blood lines of the two pacers are identical to a certain extent. Both horses were sired by Gambetta Wilkes, 2:221s. whose sire was George Wilkes and whose dam was Jewell (dam of The King, 2:2sA, and Count Wilkes, 4,601), by Vermont, 104, etc The dam of Weed Wilkes was by Mambrlno Startle, and her dam was by Richelieu, a pacing son of Mambrino Chief. The dam of Guinette, 2:05, was Stella, by Mambrino Startle, and her dam was Kate Lee, by Hero of Thorn dale
 Following is quotation from the cat alogue issued last year by Fasig- -Tipton company, of New York: Tweed Wilkes, 2:10k, is a handsome pacing stallion, black in color, sixteen hands high, weighing nearly HOO pounds, and is of- fered for sale on account of extensive business interests of his owners. As he was foaled in 1891 he is ten years old, but, if judged by his appearance and actions, he would be supposed to be about eight years old. as he possesses all his natural life and vigor"

THE TROLLEY STRIKE
CContinued from First Page.)

be given consideration by the officials Of tEe Fair Haven and Westville road. D. :. Fitzgerald was the spokesman for the strikers committee and he stated during the meeting that he considered 1t a good plan to follow the lines mapped out at the morning meeting of the com mittees and the directors. This plan was to have a committee appointed of three New Haven men who would de- termine from disinterested standpoint whether or not the men discharged were justly discharged. This plan will be submitted to the directors of the road when they meet the committee this morning at Il o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce hall, and if they agree to the plan the committee of three will be appointed and the cases of the men turned over to them. The exact facts in the cases, both from the standpoint of the railroad officials and that of the men, will be laid before this committee and the verdict on the justice of the act of the company in discharging the men will be left entirely with that body.
 President Parmelee said at the morn ing meeting that he had no objection to the plan, but as the matter was lett then to be considered in the afternoon no decision was reached.
 If an agreement is reached through that source there will be no need of ac- tion by the Board of Mediation and Ar bitration, but if an agreement cannot be reached the latter board will set right in and take the matter in their hands.
 President Parmelee has said that he would not recognize a committee from the union, but that if a committee of the strikers should wait on him. and present their grievances he would re- ceive them. If committee were ap- pointed to see MT. Parmelee it would have to be composed of union men, as all but four of the men in the employ of the road, it is understood, have join ed the union.
 This is the trouble" said MT. Fitz- gerald last evening. There is no way in getting at MT. Parmelee, as we are all members of the union and he has re- fused to hear our claims. We can't send any other committee, as the men are all union"
