THE GORMAN CASE.
Man Accused of Killing His Son Hears
 Evidence.

Evidence.
 Bridgeport, Feb 9.-Justice Smalley of Munroe held session of court here to-day to hear the case of Patrick German, the aged Munroe man who is accused of killing his son John by shooting. The respondent was too sick to be taken to Munroe and for that reason the testimony of witnesses was taken here. When German was brought into the court room he seemed barely conscious of what was going on and paid no attention to any of the testimony. James German, one of the sons. and Medical Examiner Wales of Munroe were the only two witnesses examined in the early part of the ses- sion, which began at 2 o'clock. The testimony brought out nothing new ex- cept the statement of James German that it was after dark on the day of the tragedy when his brother John left the Andrews house, where he had been working, to go to his home. He also tetsified that there was q lighted lamp on the floor. Tn the statement of the and found the dead body of his brother on the cor. h the statement of the accused man taken by the coroner he is said to have testified that it was day light when the son John came home. that the quarrel between John and the unknown stranger occurred in daylight and that the stranger accused John of crossing him in love affair.

Conference In BOston--An Advance
 of Wages to Re Demanded.
 BOSTON, Feb. 9.-Delegates from various street railway unions of the Old Colony and the Boston and North ern systems of the Massachusetts cleo tric systems are met in Boston today to take preliminary steps toward securing substantial advance in Pages, the recognition of their unions0and gener- ally improved conditions. These dcle- gates represent nearly thousand men. They are instructed to demand 2o cents an hour, 30 cents an hour for overtime and the recognition of the union. From this stand the delegates claim they cannot recede unless further instructed.
 In Lynn, the headquarters of the union of employees of the Boston and Northern system, street railway men say there is little likelihood of a strike, the idea being to accomplish as much as possible by repeated requests rather than by summary action at this time. In Fall River, the headquarters of the Old Colony system unions, the men say they. are unwilling to cause strike to gain their object, having in mind the violence in Waterbury, but in the event of refusal of their demands the na- tional association, with headquarters in Detroit, will be asked to take charge of the situation.
 The Boston and Northern street rail- road men made their request for better financial and working conditions some time ago and were promised an answer by today. Anticipating that it will be given as promised, a general meeting of the Lynn union has been called for this evening to receive it. In Fall River the statement is made that all demands have been fatly refused. The chief point, it is claimed, is the recognition of the Amalgamated Railway Employ ees' union

$350 a week for extra police, and the taxpayers are the sufferers.
 An argument took place Saturday about trades unions between two young women employed in one of the big fac tories. One of chem saw no benefit to anyone belonging to such an organiza- tion; she could see no reason why pep~ pie are not satisfied with the situa- tion of things industrial, and did not believe that unions had any right to att tempt to fix prices for any kind of labor. The argument did not take place openly. The foreman would not allow that; in fact, he would not have allowed it anyway, because the women worked on time, which was not their time. She knew of case where a me chanic did some work in a house and 1t turned out to be no good, and though she knew he charged a high price But he was sorry for this, according to this woman champion of non union labor and non-union prices, but yet he could not help 1t because he belonged to the union of his trade and had to cfarge union price for his work. It will never be known how long the discussion would have continued had not the fore man called the champion of non-11nion labor and prices to another job, and the next thing the other woman to the ar4 gument heard was her friend s;ayinn. But, MT Foreman, you know I canst make a days pay at that job. None Of us can and don't 'th1nk that is fnix. N Thus she cried, but she had to do the work. She did not belong to the union and had no use for it.
