 Width the advent of the month of roses and brides, the plaintiff began to prepare for the coming event But June went by and the marriage had not taken place. The plaintiff had gone to the expense and inconvenience which usually accompaies the approach of marriage and all her wedding fnery was on her hands.
 Friends and acquaintances, and even relatives, tried to persuade the defend ant to keep his word with the plaint- if. At one time things looked very bright, but again clouds overspread the prospect, and at last the defendant made up his mind that he was not of the marrying kind.
 But all hope was not given up with that avowal, and since June induce ments and threats were tried on the man and his arrest last evening was the result. He determined he would not mlaTTy tine girl
 He was dn confinement in the dark of his cell dast might for some hours before he agreed to make every amend possible to the plaintiff except to mar ry her. And with that she was satis- fled, whereupon he was released.

WORKMEN IN SESSION.
Reports of Officials Read at To-Day's s
 Meeting.

Bridgeport, Oct 15.-The Connecticut grand lodge, A O. U. w., met this morning at 10 o'clock. The, most inn 04l 9IoJsq oGIoo ol uo!4senb 4g1eqDod convention was whether or not the plan of assessment adopted by the su- preme lodge would be adopted by the state branch. All night the oppon- ents of the adoption held a session and decided to defeat the measure if possible and to that end they sent in list of candi- dates for office, every one of whom would be opposed to the new assess ment. This morning, however. when the election of officers took place, it was seen that the opponents of the plan of assessment were hopelessly beaten. The following were the off1- cers elected: Grand Master Workman, Hugh Keenan of New Haven; grand foreman, A. H. Hale of Norwalk; grand secretary, James A. Knox of New Haven; grand recorder, James Sloan of Meriden; grand overseer, John Moorehouse of New Milford: grand guard, w. G. Hard of Naugatuck.
 Bridgeport, Oct 15.-In his report at the A. O. U. W. meeting to-day, Grand Master Workman R. G. Dem arest of Bridgeport enumerated the following membership changes during the year:
 Initiate S87; suspended, S03; rein stated, -3O6; died, 119; withdrawals, 15; net gains, 256.
 The large number of suspensions he attributed to the discussion of the new assessment plan. The master workman gave the plan his cordial ap- proval, and expressed the opinion that, if 1t is adopted. beneficial results, both as to membership and finance, are cer- tain.
 The report of Grand Recorder James A. Knox indicates the present membership as 12,OS4. The reports of the grand recorder and Grand Receiver James R. Sloane embrace the following figures:

SILVER PLAYERS WILL MEET.
Local Men Say They are We'll Treated
 and Will Not Strike.

LOcal Men Say 1ney are well 1reaLeu
 and Will Not Strike.
 An important meeting of the mem bers of the Buffers and PoIishers, Sil- yer PIaters' International union, local 37, who are employed at Rogers & Brothers silver factory on Silver street, will be held tonight in Buffers
 and Polishers' hall on Grand street. At this meeting it will be decided whether or not the employees of the local silver concern will strike for nine-hour day. They will vote upon the question: Do you stand by the demands made by the International Metal Workers union" These demands, which were made upon the factories of the Interna- tional Silver Co in Waterbury, Meri- den, Wa1lingford, Bridgeport, Shelton, Lyons, N. Y., and two or three fac tories in Canada, were that the men should be granted a nine-hour day with ten hours pay and time and a half for overtime. These demands were re- fused by the various concerns. For the past few days the officers of the International Metal Workers union have been in conference with the off cers of the International Silver Go, but no satisfactory agreement will be reached. The officers of the Interna- ton union have decided, therefore, to leave it to the employees of the differ ent factories whether or not they will strike to compel the company to grant their demands.
 One of the employees of the local con- cern said today: "You can say that there will be no strike at Rogers &
 Brothers. We are all we'll treated and
 are satisfied with the treatment ac- ] corded to us by the management. We are making good money. The best of feeling has existed between us and | Manager Rockwell for some time. Did you not see the banner that we carried
 in the Labor day parade? The in- scription on it read: We are organ ized and our employers treat us fair y Another employe said: II couldn't say whether or not the men will vote to go on strike. At the meeting, to-
 night the international officers will be
 present and will address us. They will explain the situation. The men will probably do whatever they advise.
 There are about 400 men employed at the local factory, and nearly every one
 of them belongs to the union"

DAoSS ADUILOl1Ss
 The annual parade and inspection of the police and fire departments took place this afternoon and attracted q big crow: of spectators. The men made very creditable showing and the mayor and members of the board of public safety who have been mak- Ing arrangements for the event for the past few weeks must have felt proud at the successful continuation of their efforts. The formation of the proces- slon was as follows:
 American Band, 35 Pieces. Police Department, Chief Egan in Command. Captain Ramon, 12 Men.
 Lieutenant Dodds, 12 Men.
 Sergeant Pagan, F Men.
 Sergeant Cahey, 12 Men.
 Sergeant Blakely, 12 Men.

 Foreman Thompson, 40 Men.
 The different apparatus brought up in the rear, consisting of :three .en- zines, two trucks and three hose wag- ons, all in excellent repair. The line of march which has appeared in the Democrat was just long enough to Timber themselves up so that when tho parade was over every man looked better than when he left the starting point. Early in the morning Superin- tendent Kelley erected a reviewing stand at the entrance to City hall from where Mayor Kilduff, the board of public safety and other public of ficials, including many of the alder men reviewed the parade. The mayor, the board of public safety and the all dermen constituted the inspection com- mittee and prior to starting on pa rade the several platoons of police, the different fire companies and thS apparatus were looked over and prov ed satisfactory, so much so that the mayor and the other inspecting officers complimented the heads of the depart y,,op+c ood hOnad fhiS order uouId ha continued. It was an ideal day for the parade and 1t created almost as much enthusiasm as the old time fire mems parade used to do.
 The mayor and board of public safety together with the policemen were photographed by Stone from the steps of the court house.
 After the parade the inspecting committee made a call at the different engine houses. t.."
