WANTS HIS PAY.
Strike Breaker Brings Sui Against Trolley Company Says There Is SIP. 50 ,. Due Him and
 He wants it,

John Marshall of New York, one of the strike breakers, who figured in the mix-up between two cars yesterday and who was later arrested on a charge of drunkenness, was about town to-day and claims that the com pany owes him $12.50. Somebody told him it was up to Boss Farley to pay him, but Farley is said to have given him the laugh. This afternoon he was looking up an attorney to collect his wages. Marshall claims to hBye taken but one drink last night and thinks there must have been knockout drops in it. He got it from fellow on the run from Waterville. Marshall stated his case to Attorney Bauby and after hearing the evidence the ma chinery of the law was set in motion. Constable Pryor was dispatched to the car barn and placed an attachment upon the company's property. This i is the first civil suit that grew out of the strike.
 ] While the militia was here it was 1 impossible to ascertain anything about
 the machine guns. To-day it was re
 ported that each of them had 5000
 rounds of ammunition. One of the officers sad tlfis was very small sup
 ply, considering that one of those guns
 fires about 1,200 shots a minute.
 The strikers say that they are very l sorry the soldiers were called away so ] soon. They claim that fewer people i rode on the cars while they were here
 than at any time since the strike start ed and that the bus business never was better. The presence of the mil 1 itia had 8 salutary effect upon people
 who think it fine sport to throw stones
 at the cars and on this account enc
 mics of the striking trol1eymen could ] find no mud to hun at them.
 The daily loss the company is un- dergoing is beginning to excite the at tention of business people. ItBhas been
 estimated ait various figures. To-day 1 a well known business man calculated
 it to be about 1000 day. In this es-
 innate he considered the company's s
 pay roll, the boarding house main 1 tained for the use of the non-union
 men and the expense of fuel to main
 tain the necessary power. At this rate
 the company has lost about $2S000.
 Dewey" the newsboy, will not sell
 any of his papers to the strike-break- l CTS. About 12 o'clock Dewey was ] standing in Exchange place selling ex- tra editions of the New York papers
 when one of the strike breakers ap-
 preached him and inquired, Have you
 a World?'' ssYes.'' .'Give me one.'' l T will not. I wouldn't sell you one l for any price" Dewey then walked
 away and with a wise look said, when somebody asked him why he didn't
 sell the man a paper, ssWhat do you ,. think? Do you want me to be boy
 cotted for selling a paper to scab ?"
 Two women called into store in
 the eastern section of the city last
 night, said that they were from New York and asked the clerk if he had any objection to their waiting in his store for the trolley car. The clerk politely told them that he had and
 would have as long as the strike con-
 tnued. The women commenced to ply him with questions about the d strike and finished by inquiring if the
 trolley men in New York had a union.
 This was too much for the clerk and
 he refused to answer. The women
 then departed,
 A deputy sheriff named Speigel
 from New Haven thought h. was
 caught in a trap this afternoon by
 some strike sympathizers. He went in to the toilet room in the court house
 building on Leavenworth street ant. locked tilc door after him. When he was ready to make his exit the lock , refused tC work, mad after working . at It fer some time he concluded that he was heInmed in with no hope of ], escare except thro1g'l a winitlw in ih7 port sit'e of the btE.d 'ng. He sue cecded in raising ihe window and E tbea Climbed onto tie sill and dropped 1 r to the ground. Aese- he picked him. self up and brushed the dust off his clothes he hurrie.. around to the m.: il 5 entrance and looked up Janitor Ma } graw and inquired what it all meant The janitor examined the door anc
 found that it opened all right. Al
 army of deputies who watched the per formance laughed at SpeigePs predica ment and called it one on him.
