DRUG CLERKS ARE OUT OF T
Will Not Be Among Defendants
 In $25, ,OOO Suit.

Placed on the Unions
 Money Was Released To-Day-Press
 Agent of the Drug Clerks Union
 Gave Out Statement To-Day.
 The Drug Clerks union and it's off, junction suit for $25,OOO instituted against various labor organizations in this city by the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go. That part of the injunction in which the names of the Drug Clerks, union and of O. F. Car penter, Miles McCarthy and Ralph Eos ter are mentioned as defendants, has been stricken out or will be stricken out at the advice of Judge Burpee, le- gal adviser for the trolley company. The attachment which was placed up- on the money of the Drug Clerks un- ion in one of the local banks was re- leased this morning. This move upon the part of Judge Burpee was the re suit of conference which he had with President c. F. Carpenter of the Drug Clerks union on last Saturday Presi- dent Carpenter proved to the satisfac- ton of the trolley company's counsel that the union of which he is the chief officer had not committed any of the acts alleged in the complaint asking for an injunction. They had not for bidden any member from riding on the cars, neither had they fined any person for So doing. As proof of this Mir Carpenter gave his own case as an ex- ample. He lives at Highland park, which is considera ble distance from his place of employment at the Apoth- ecaries' Hall Go. He has been riding on the cars since the sbrike began, but he hasn't been fined. Judge Burpee stated that the reason why the Drug Clerks union and it's officers had been mentioned in the injunction suit was because he had received informa ton from a reliable source that MT Carpen- ter had been fined for riding on the cars. He was glad to hear that it wasn't so.
 Joseph A. Sundin, manager of the Waterbury Drug Go, who is press agent for the Drug Clerks union, gave out the following statement to-day. in re- gard to the matter: At the first meet ing of the union after the strike, the members voluntarily pledged them selves to pay fifteen cents week to the fund for the strikers. No vote was passed forbidding the members from riding on the cars or fning any mem Der for patronizing the cars. The un- ion has tried through it's level headed president and efficient officers to avoid mixing into the present labor trouble. Some days ago President Carpenter consulted with Judge Burpee in regard to having the injunction dissolved. Judge Burpee promised to investigate the affair. He did, and having satis- fled himself that our union had com mitted none of the acts alleged in the complaint, the attachment of our mon ey in the bank was released and we are no longer defendants in the injumc- tion suit.

 The accident which resulted in the death of Mrs Chipman, who was buried Monday, should be warning to people who make business of fooling with cats. Mrs Chipman's big cat scratched her on the foot and despite the efforts of her physician blood poisoning set in and carried her away. Before the death of Mrs Chipman the feline was turned over to Dr Bland who chloro- formed the pet. The owner had box which was to be used as casket' for the cat whenever it died but death came to the pussy in such an unex- pected manner it was inferred in it's coat of fur and the box is still over ground and may some day prove quite -an interesting piece of furniture for the relic hunter. Cats are all right in their own place, but people who make bed-fellows of them are running big risks.
