Iast night there was a meeting OF the
Carpenters union Local "a, In their
rooms at the Labor temple. At this
meeting there were several interesting
reports rendered, each OF which was APP
proved. Several communica tions were re-
ceived and read from various organiza-
tions out OF town. Among the other
things done was the selection Of the
men who were to represent the local at
the meeting OF the central body. Though
the session was rather lengthy there
was nothing OF note done except what
IL mentioned above.
The cigar markers met last night for
it's regular meeting and much business
of a routine sort was transacted. The
reports OF the several committees were
read and approved with enthusiasm. The
report that stated the financial condition
OF the union TO be the best ever was
received with hearty round Of applause.
Several questions OF interest TO the body
came up for discussion but they are not
mature enough TO be given public hear
ing as yet At this meeting there were
number OF new members received.
while several names were voted over 10
the next meeting. The agent reported
that all things were working harmonious
" between the employers and the men
and the prospects for work during the
winter were never better.
At the meeting OF the machinlsts held

a sort that Is was not considered best
TO give it out for publication. After the

and tho discussion OF the prospects OF
the union for the future were discussed
freely II Is the general consensus OF
opinion that the condition ~ that body
was never better In tho history of the
Organization. There has been no per-
picking question up before the body for
some time now and everything seems
20 be working smoothly. At this meet
ing also was discussed the best means
of Increasing the membership of the
body. Nothing definite was done In re-
gard 90 this. but several plans were pro-
posed.

This, together with the torn fragments

ter which has been pieced together from
bits discovered In the apartments where
John ID. Fitzpatrick, wealthy son OF the
late David Fitzpatrick OF Beatrice, NehC
was found Monday shot through the
heart The case had begun to look like
one OF murder. but IL is now thought that
the first theory, suicide Is correct and
that Fitzpatrick killed himself to escape
his tormentor. j. F. Lambie, step-father
OF the dead man, declares that sensation.
al developments may grow out OF the
affair. He is quoted as saying:
I'VE know the woman TO whom the
letter was addressed. She Is a youna
married woman, the mere mention OF
whose name would cause a sensation In
New York city. as she is known as a
member of one OF the most prominent
social sets In this city. We know enough
now to be convinced that my stepson
committed suicide.
II have learned since that he wrote
another letter and another check and
sent them to the woman. do not know
the contents OF the other letters"

APOLOGY
and A
DEFENCE
Lawyer Hayes INDUCED In Both
on Behalf Of Rhode Island
Company In tho CurIsy Case

The dull monotony OF things at the
county court house was broken today by
the eloquent apology for and defence Of
the Rhode Island company, made by It's
attorney. Henry w. Hayes. John Curley.
an humble merchant OF this city. was the
cause OF Mr.. Hayes grafton. Mr.. Cur
ey's wagon was struck by car and he
laid the facts before Charles II. German.
an attorney ct least as equally well
known at the bar as Mr.. Hayes.
The result was lawsuit. In which Mr..
Curley was plaintiff and the big corpora
ton defendant. The traction companies
doing business in this state have been
often sued before. and there was nothing
Mr.. Hayes seemed 10 think there was.
All the testimony In the case was In
early today. The court then announced
that arguments were In order.
Mr.. Hayes had the start. He said In
the opening part OF his address: This
is the first case OF the new session and
there are many matters the Rhode Island
company desires settled now and settled
for all time. IL wishes to know II IL
can be forced into court and mulcted in
damages because somebody says that ne
is injured. II was necessary. therefore.
from our standpoint, to try out these mat
ters very fully, In fact more fully than
the peculiar circumstances OF the case
might seem TO warrant. The company
desired to know at the beginning of the
session what IL was to do In the future,
and for that reason controversies after
controversies had taken place during the
trial. which seemed TO have nothing 10
do with ths merits OF the case.
These controversies have TO do with
the standing OF this corporation In this
court because II the imputations made
against II are true II has no business 10
come here and ask you TO give IL Justice.
IL we do the things imputed TO US directly
or Indirectly we are guilty or the most
serious offences.
this state by the wish OF the people. In
cidentally we are making money, but we
are absolutely at the mercy OF the people
OF this state. They may make any laws
they see At concerning us. and We must
obey those laws.
Mf. Hayes then depicted the great al.
vantages OF the cars OF the company and
told how persons could ride on transfers.
which he said the legislature forced the
company to give. He next pleaded Tor
the right OF the corporation TO fair treat
ment The company might have some
ployed men would declare all his en-
ployes were scoundrels and blackguards,
was the way Mr. Hayes referred 10 the
alleged carelessness OF the eompanys
Speaking of the amount of damages In
the writ. $4,000, Mr.. Hayes said a ais
tinguished jurist had said IL was az easy
Mr.. German. in his closing argument.
confined himself almost exclusively to the
testimony. He did take occasion to say
that transfers were not obtsined rom
righteous claim for them. Mr.. German
was not sure either that the Rhode Island
company always obeyed the law. AS TO
ON a writ he had been informed II was
no easter than to bond a Sop railroad
