 Constable Carmody has served all the papers in the big suit of the company against the unions and others, mum bering nearly one hundred An wien the excention of few have been found and accepted service. All appeared anxious to get the papers as souvenirs of the great battle. No tnd1vidual hank account has been attached, al though such a course was contempdat- cd at the opening of proceedings. The only property attached is that of cer- cain unions. The trolleymen did not have a very big bank account, some !, thing in the neighborhood of $5, it is said.
 Everybody you meet about town to- day is talking about the probable out come of the conference at Bridgeport g between the representa- tives of the trol- leymen Of that place and MT SeWell. Nobody expects strike. because 1t IS thought that the company will agree to, do the right thing by the men and if they show disposition to go half way towards bridging the difference no trouble may occur at the Park City. It Is not likely that the company cares to plank down another $100,000 to conn nlence a fight in Bridgeport before they are through with the one in Water bury. Many say that the company saw what was coming and endeavpred to head 1t off by taking time by the, foaelock. and that this is the. reason why all offers for a settlement of fhee differences in this city were brushed aside. the management believing that the squelching of the union here would mean the silencing of the men in other towns. But the thing dragged along in Waterbury until the time was ripe to speak in Bridgeport and the men de cfded ito go ahead with their plans, re gardless Of how the matter stood else where. The strike lasted longer in Waterbury than anybody supposed it would. and on this account the situa ton is somewhat mixed all around. ts It was stated to-day that Boss" Farley Is in New York looking up some more men for use in Waterbury or any place else where the company may need them. While a strike is not look cd for in Bridgeport, still such thing is not out of the question. and if it takes place it is probable that the .boss'' may divide his time between The Brass City and the new field of op- eration
 There is nothing new in the local squabble. Everything is moving along quietly and it is hoped that whether the strike lasts much longer or not that all disorders of every nature will cease and that people will soon commence to turn their attention to other matters and let the strike settle itself. since no other agency can accomplish anything in that direction.
 The unions are considering proposi- lions from banking institutions outside Connecticut who want to have them do business with them. Some of the houses are offering four per cent inter- est on current deposits while others are willing to do even better than that One of f1e union men told a reporter to-day that nothing definite had been done about this matter yet, and he didn't know whether there would be or not Some favor the proposition, while others are very much opposed to it. If 1t should be accepted it is thought that it will result in prompt ing a large number of individual de positors to follow suit.
 So far as can be learned there is noth- ing new with reference to the Mendel- ssohn murder case, although, 1t is said, that some of the cleyerest men in the country are at work on it. The run ming out of fhe car from the spot where the shooting occurred is looked upon hy many as somethinng that hindered the authorities somewhat in securing some information that might be of val ne. but just how is a question ordinary mortads. fail to understand, though perhaps. the trained sleuths could tel what personal survey of the situation as it existed before anything was dis turbed might have revealed.
 The strikers executive committee is sued the following statement this af ternoon:
 .To-day is the seventy-ffth day o our notable strike and finds little ol no change in the situation. Our meI are meeting every day as usual, ant there Is no sign of let up on thei art in the way of determination ant enthusiasm.
 "We are glad to report that we hay, heard from President Mahon in a very substantial manner since we issued ou last statement. We heard from hin in Detroit, but believe he is now or the way to New York to meet Presi dent Gompers of the American Fedora tion of Labor. We are informed tha President Gompers has signifed to hi executive committee desire to en dorse our strike and give it all th' moral and financial aid in the power O his federation. We will doubtless hea very good news from the. conferenc' between the two presidents In New York.
