DIDN'T LIKE DANCING.
Irate Hartford Landlord Stopped Fes-
 tivities in His House.


 Residents of 3 certain thickly popu- lated thoroughfare in the north part of the city, says the Hartford Post, are much exercised over an occurrence of last Saturday night. It seems that the daughter of we'll known citizen living in the upper tenement of house occupied down stairs by it's owner gave a party to about score of her young friends. Difference was paid to the wishes of the house owner, who is known to be a lover of quiet and repose. The young people wished to dance, but it was voted down on ac count of the man below until the kind hearted mistress of the adjoining house told the young people they were welcome to come over and dance in her house.
 The party repaired at once to the next house and prepared to make mer- " as young people will Hardly had they begun dancing before loud sum- mons was heard at the door. There was the advocate of quiet and repose, who happened also to be the owner of that house as well.
 T don't want any dancing in my house." was the message that greeted the lady's response, and it was said to be coupled with q threat. The new hostess is reported to possess, in addi- ton to a kind heart, a rather fearless disposition. She shut the door, telling the landlord to do what he chose: but it was only a screen door and ne did more talking, for one thing. which put a damper upon the festivities within. True to his threat, the landlord called policeman.
 "He didn't do anything but stand i'll front of the house" says a participant, ''but it spoiled the fun" We went back to the young lady's house, but We didn't even play the piano after that"

justment of grievances which may arise
from time to time to the emo that
strikes and lockouts may be unneces-
sary.
In support of this demand we submit
the following reasons:
1. The anthracite mine worker should
not be compelled to make or sign indi-
vidual agreements, but should have the
right to form such organization and
choose such agents and officers as they
desire to act collectively instead of in
dividually when they deem that their
best interests are subssrved thereby.
2. Agreements between employers and
employees thru @oelsiaglnen's areaniza-
tons are the ordinary method o. regu-
lating production and wages In the
bituminous coal fields and in other
large indus tries, and are beneficial sue
cessful and in keeping with the spirit
of the times.
3. Unions of working men tend to the
better discipline of the men and to the
improvement of their physical, moral
and mental condition, and to the pres
ervation of friendly relations between
employer and employee.
4. Experience shows that the trade
agreement is the only effective method
by which it is possible to regulate
questions arising between employers
and employed in large industries, and
that trade agreement is me only pos
sible way Ito establish the rela tons
between employers and the wage work
ers in the anthracite fields on just
permanent basis and as far as possible
to do away with any causes for the re-
currence of such difficulties as those
you (the anthracite coal strike commits
sion) have been been called in to set

Workers.

negro, entered the home of George
Meadows, a planter, who lives six
miles south of here, during Mr.. Mead
ows' absence, and, with an AK, struck
his wife and 1S-year-old daughter on
the head, crushing Mrs. Meadows skull
and fracturing that of the daughter.
Mrs. Meadows has never regained con-
seriousness and will die. The negro was
placed in custody and held till Miss
Meadows had sufficiently recovered to
identify him. This she did yesterday
afternoon, and the negro was taken in
charge by about 125 men and his body
riddled with bullets. Harris denied his
guilt until the first shot was fired, and
then he acknowledged the crime. The
condition of the house showed that rob-
berry was the purpose of the crime.
