Meanwhile Dr Murray telephoned ito Waterbury about 1ler and was very anxious that she should be sent fhere. She refused to go. She appeared some what dfspleased at how she was used. Herself and three other girls, all ac- quadntances, were hired at Washington to work for Dr Murray, who is moving from there to Ponfret, but owing to some mistake she stepped off the train at Hartford, believing that the whole party was getting out there, too. She was hired for $20 a month. and while she is bright girl she will be apt to find it hard to.get that pay here But as the other girls are her friends and the doctor wants her, 1t is probable that she will think better of it after a day or two.

THE STRIKERS STATEMENT.

Small Business of Past Two Days
 Seems to Please Ex-Trolleymen.
 The strikers executive committee issued the following statement this af ternoon:
 To-day, the 142d of our strike, finds us as firm and united for justice as we were the first day, and that the public are in sympathy with us has been fully demonstrated by the poor patronage the company received Saturday and yesterday. No greater proof of the jus tice of our cause is necessary.
 We have time and again said that we 6were willing at any and all times to meet the general manager and have the controversy settled. Why not get a conference with the Bridgeport and Waterbury men and talk the entire sit uation over; some good results might come from such a conference.
 ''To the thousands of our sympathiz- CTS who have walked and will continue to walk until justice is done we ex- tend our sincere thanks; also to our nu- merous lady friends, who have so gen erously assisted us financially we sim cerely thank.
 We notice that with the compara.- lively few extras the company ran out yesterday they must be short handed, as Superintendent Wales was acting as knight of the bell rope. Did the poor conductor have tired feeling, or, was the superintendent breaking him in to the fare cafi1nggmystery.
 Tt was very amusing to notice the an- tics of some of the crews on the cars, after dark, particularly on East Main street last Saturday night. At 9 o'clock most disgraceful exhibition of drunkenness was exhibited. A con. ductor and female, who was playing conductor gave a very edifying exhi- bition, which while it lasted equalled anything ever witnessed in the Bowery sluns, which was in due time stopped by the officer in charge. Such outra. geous conduct in by-gone days called for instant dismissal
