toward getting after the new men for the manner in which they have been conducting themselves on that line. The men are said to have made out landish efforts to attract the attention of ladies seen in the windows of the houses as they pass. One mans wife told her husband of this and he has been lying around the house ever since trying to have the fellow repeat the trick. He promises lively results when he catches one of those chaps.
 "We are glad that the police to-day arrested two men on whom concealed weapons were found. We also regret that those men considered themselves friends of ours. The best friends we have at present are those who behave themselves as good citizens and walk.
 s"We will meet again at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Up to the time of writing this no effort has been made by the company to meet us through the channel of arbitration by reput- able local citizens. Something in fur therance of this plan, however, is ex- pected to develop within the next A hours"
 IuG SIdLup0TS uAlOIL WIll AACSI W night to take action on the trolley strike. A full attendance is requested.
 Manager Sewell is said to have re- ceived a telephone message from some person in the east end to-day asking him to send car out that way after dark tonight. .....
 There will be a meeting of the Typo graphical union tomorrow afternoon at 5:3O. in the rear room of the Buffers and Polishers' hall on Grand street, to take further action in regard to the trolleymen's strike.
 Even if the public had any inclina- ton of riding on the cars they would be afraid as so many collisions have so nearly occurred since a few cars have been running. Manager Sewell says the men are experienced trolley men but they don't show it by the way they are handling the cars. About o'clock collision between two cars nearly occurred on North Main street just above the Methodist church. One car was coming down, the other, which should have stopped at the switch in Exchange place, was going up. The two cars were brought to standstill just in time to save collis- ion.
 This forenoon a man from the Waterbury Manufacturing Co.'S factory boarded a car at that point and alight- ed at North square. Hundreds saw him. He seemed to defy the people, because after leaving the car he went into a saloon on the square and sa- luted those inside. Not response was given. As he was leaving some one helped him out of the door with kick sHe5Sifd not say a word or attempt to retahate in any manner, but took to his heels as fast as he could while vol leys of jeers followed him.
 One of Blakeslees teams got stuck in the trolley tracks on Bank street this afternoon just as a trolley came along and before the horses could be made to move crowd of at least thousand persons had collected about the place. While endeavoring to clear the way Officer Ixeegan's hand acci- dentally collided with a boys face. The youngster thought he was hurt and commenced to weep. Later a young man inquired the officers name and informed him that he intended to report him to the board of public works. He must have meant the board of public safety. The officer gave the man his name and told him that if he wanted to prefer a charge against him that was his privilege.
 All the draught horses in the city' seem to sympathize with the strikers. This afternoon a pair of them got in front of 8 car going up North Main street, and as the driver halls from New York, where the trolley car com panies do not own the entire streets, this man refused to give way at first. When, however, he did try to get off the tracks the horses would not obey. They seemed to prefer clean trackwayto the slush and mud on both sides of 1t. The driver was surprised at the shouts and hurrahs that rose from all sides for his horses, who persisted in keeping on the track notwithstanding his evi- dent efforts to get them off. By CO., incidence they had the track again on the cars return and they kept 1t until Grove street was reached. Down this street they went, after looking at the car as though they wished to be able to recognize if again If was said thev
