tired is Remembered by His Associ-
ates.
Conductor Beers made his last run as
a conductor in the employ of the Con-
solidated railroad Friday evening At
every station on the run. from Water
bury to Ansonia, the trainmen bid him
goodbye and expressed regret that he
was to leave the road. On arrival at
New Haven he entered the conductors
room to do some work, when the con-
ductors present gathered about him and
expressed regrets that he was to retire
from railroad life, and Conductor Wad-
hams, of New London, presented him
with a handsome gold charm as to-
ken Of regret that he was to leave
them.
The charm is of solid gold, with the
emblem Of the Brotherhood of Rail-

such he could scarcely reply for some
time. He appreciates the gift all the
more for it's being so unexpected.
Saturday he came to New Haven to
turn in all property in his possession
belonging to the company and made his
final settlement. He is to engage in
farming on a small scale and proposes
to take life as easy as possible. Con-
ductor Schilling has received orders to

SAMUEL C. PADDOCK.
Was One of Meriden's Much Esteemed
tNitizans-A Tonr T jfe

Was One of Meriden's Much Esteemed
Citizens-A Long Life.
Samuel Clark Paddock, aged eighty
seven, one of Meridens most esteemed
citizens, who died last Saturday night,
and whose funeral took place yesterday,
had with him at his bedside in his last
hours besides his wife, his children, two
of whom came from distant cities.
Aland B. Paddock came early in the
week from Rialto, California, while
George Byron Paddock, the elder son,
arrived Saturday from Jackson, Mime
sofa. The daughter, Mrs. Mary Ann
Hail. lives in New Haven.
Mr.. Paddock's parents, Samuel Pad
dock and wife. Polly Sears. lived in
East Meriden. At the age of seventeen
young Paddock started out to make
his fortune. His first opportunity came
in tin peddler's wagon, in which he
engaged to dispose of the wares. The
next year, with a borrowed capital Of
two thousand dollars, he started brick
making. On March 10, 1887, he was
married to Miss Jeanette Hall, grand
daughter of the first representative Of
Meriden in the general assembly Of
Connecticut, 1906 Brick making
proved successful at first, but the pam
ic of 1887 killed the business. In Sep
TENDER of that year he started out
anew. Buying goods on credit, he
drove to Alabama, where he soon en-
tered into store partnership at Mont
gornery. Then the civil war threatened,
and because he voted for John G. FIRE.
mont was forced to sell out at loss in
order to escape with his life.
Returning to Meriden Mr.. Paddock
managed one of the largest markets
then in the town, and was soon able to
make investments in real estate. Of
late years he has retired from active
business, devoting what time was ne
cessary to his real estate, which con-
sists Of several valuable holdings in the
center of the city. AS an appraiser his
opinion was greatly valued, as was his
interest in the public affairs of the
town. He was a bright, CHEEKY old
man. He loved to hunt and fish, and in
his younger days made extensive trips
for this purpose. In religion he pro-
fessed himself a Baptist, and was often
spoken of by his church title, Deacon
Paddock. His first wife died in 1894
and a few years later he was married
to Miss Manwaring of Mantle, who SUR
wives him. He was a conscientious
Christian gentleman Of an admirable
type.

Peculiar situation.

The Democrats of Newton elected
two commissioners of appeals on March
10th, Martin A. Deyaney and Nicholas
b. Drake. Now they have discovered
that there was only one vacancy in
that Office. Both of the men filed af-
tidavits with the Town Committee on
Saturday. The question now perplex-
ing both Of them is, which one will
serve. Drake filed his certificate be-
fore Deyaney, but Devaney had the
larger majority at the polls. The re-
suit is anXiouSly awaited.

1t Condemns Boycott and Violence and
JusIifies the Tnterpo~ition of the
state Militia t. Preserve Peace. Does
not Award specific Recognition to
United Mine Workers. Continues
Present Method of PAYMENT
The report of the commission ap-
pointed by the President last October
to Investigate the anthracite coal
strike was made public last Saturday.
The report is dated March Is, and is
signed by all the members of the com
mission.
| BY the report the miners are award
ed an increase of ten per cent. in wages
to contract miners, from November l.
1902, and during the life of the award.
The water hosting engineers are
given the same increase. Other en-
gineers, pumpmen and tiremen get the
same advance from the same date
until April /, 1908, and five per cent.
after that and during the life of the
award An increase Of ten per cent.
in the wages of all company men and
other employees is also made.
All employees not specifically pro-
vided for are to be paid on the basis of
nine hours a day. Engineers, tiremen
and pump men are to work in eight
hour shifts instead of the twelve hour
shifts in vogue before the strike, and
the engineers and pumpmen are to be
relieved on Sundays without loss of
pay
With every increase in the price of
coal amounting to ten per cent, the
wages of the miners are to be advanc-
ed one per cent. Local boards of arbi-
tration are to be appointed by both
sides for the settlement of disputes in
individual collieries. Check weigh
men are to be employed at the collier
les by the miners at their own expense
and there is to be uniform diStribu-
tion of mine cars among the miners.
/ The commission also decided that any
increase in size of the mine car is to
be accompanied by proportionate in
crease in the rate paid per car. The
above awards are all made in the i'm
terests of the miners and are the net
results Of the strike to them, as award
ed by the commission.
The benefits, to the operators under
the award in nutshell are as follows:
There is to be no specific recognition
of the mine workers and the present
methods OF payment for coal are to be
continued unless changed by mutual
consent. Concerted effort on the part
of the mine workers to limit output
except by agreement with operators is
forbidden, and work is not to be Sus-
pended pending settlement of matters
referred to arbitration boards. There
is to be no discrimination against nom
union men. The commission also con-
demns both boycott and violence.
They refused the demand of the
miners that coal mined be paid for by
weight and also say that the interpo-
sition Of the State militia to preserve
peace was justified.
Naturally there are various opinions
as to the award. Neither the workers
nor the operators are thoroughly salts
fed with it and each hoped for better
terms.

Double surprise Party.

On Tuesday evening last surprise
party was given Thomas Logan, OF
Phoenix avenue, which resulted in a
double surprise. The first surprise was
arranged for Mr.. Logan and the second
surprise was caused by the fire bell,
which took Thomas to the fire, despite
the efforts of his mother to keep him
at home. After he returned, however,
he was properly surprised and a very
pleasant evening was spent in playing
games and eating the refreshments
provided. Among those present were
The Misses Helen Young, Leila Quinn
by Nellie Slater, Mabel Bower, Annie
Letcher and Louise Woodruff and the
Messrs. Oscar and Rob Sturges, Allie
Freeman, George Wier, James Ball,
Warren McVay and Wesley Logan.

BODY OF BABY FOUND in RIVER
Had Been There About Week. Prob
ably Abandoned. No lue to the
Identity of the Child.

While John w. Perry, an employee
of William E. Wheelock, of Morris
avenue, was strolling along the bank
of the Whippany river in the rear Of
the latter's premises yesterday after
noon, he discovered the body of a baby
girl lying in the water. Perry imme-
diately notified the police of his find
and Officer Brennan was sent to the
lonely spot. When Coroner Collins ar
rived he had the body removed to
Hughson S undertaking establishment.
The river at the place where the lit
tie one was found runs very swift and
had it not been for tree which had
fallen across the stream the baby would
in all probability have been carried
on and never been seen. sit was, it
had been caught in the debris which
had collected about the tree near the
bank of the stream, and it lay with its
little hands outstretched, its face up
ward and was naked.
1t is thought the infant had been in
the water for several days as it was
considerably bloated, although the
features were discernible.
AS yet the authorities are unable to
say where it was cast into the river
1t is a supposition that that it had
fioated from some distance up the
stream down to where it was found.
The police are investigating the case.

LAST TUESDAY NIGHTS FIRE.
A Hard One to Fight was Found in
the Bell Building at 7.45 O'Clock
in the Evening.


Fire broke out in the Bell building
last Tuesday evening about 7.45 and
for time threatened to consume the
entire building.
From appearances it was judged
that the fire started in the furnace
room in the rear of Becker's barber
shop. The first knowledge OF its pres
ence came from John Kilkenny who
was in the barber shop getting shaved.
He happened to turn his head toward
the rear of the shop and saw the lire
blazing up in the furnace room John
waited not to be shaved but left inn
mediately and gave the alarm Becker
called up the chemical engine and
some one turned in general alarm.
The fire must have been shoulder
ing and burning slowly for some time
before it was discovered as it seemed
to be in half dozen places at once.
1t came up through the floor into the
Morris art store and into MAYORS
and finally broke through into Tur-
ners clothing store. 1t also got into
the partitions and followed them up
to the second floor where they broke
out in Mayor Reeds Office but did
comparatively little damage.
The flames were practically confined
to the basement and first floor, but in
those two floors things were ruined
either by fire or water In the art
store what was not damaged by fire
was ruined by water. The same is
true of both the Naylor and Turner
stores.
1t would seem at first glance as
though entirely too much water had
been thrown and that little or no
Judgment had been shown in it's use,
but the fire had so spread itself in the
partitions and between the floors that
it was necessary to literally drown it
out.
The top floors of the building are
occupied by several families and the
thick smoke so confused some OF the
inmates that in some instances it was
necessary to lead or carry them down
the stairs.
All those affected by the fire were
insured, although in some cases in
amounts not enough to cover their
loss.
The fire department did good work
and deserve credit for the way in
which the fire was handled. 1t was
not a spectacular fire in any way
After the first few minutes there were
practically no flames to be seen, only
dense smoke in which the tiremen
were compelled to work for over an
hour.
This is the second time this build
ing has been ON fire.

BIG RIOT IN MONTvILLE.
Pistol shots Fired by Mob of $50
Italians Call Out the sheriff
and Small Posse.

a good sized riot developed in Mont
vile, near Boonton, yesterday morning
about seven O'Clock and Sheriff Ryer-
son and a posse of officers were sent for
to preserve the peace. When they az
rived shortly after noon they found
that the rioters had dispersed and
things were quiet. Later in the even
ing, however, a number of men gather
ed about the employees of the John
II. Capstick & Sons Company and
tried by moral suasion to arouse dis
content. In the morning, about 100
men, mostly Italians, employed in a
quarry short distance from the Cap
stick Mills had assembled near the
mill and had created great excitement
by firing pistols in the air. 1t is said
that an attempt was made to shoot
two Italians by the mob.
The noise aroused Mr. John Cap
stick from his morning slumber. He
at once telephoned to Morristown and
then persuaded the men to separate.
The trouble is said to have begun
last Monday, when the Capstick firm.
for good reason, discharged number
OF Hungarians. Since then there has
been noticed feeling of aggressive
ness on the part of the men discharg-
ed. They have approached the Cap
stick employees and have tried to incite
them to revolt. The attempt, how
ever, was failure. 1t issaid that the
Italians employed in the quarry are
anxious, many of them, to secure en-
ployment with the Capstick firm and
have been refused. There was con-
siderable fear that damage might be
done to some of the valuable machin-
cry in the Capstick mills and guards
have been placed about Them
The sheriff is expected to make a
number of arrests. When he was call
ed out yesterday he took with him
Samuel Leonard and Cornelius HALEY.
