The first holiday of the Summer season falls on Monday next. Now Monday is the favorite day for a holi- day, but almost invariably men forget to make their preparations clothewise for Monday off until it is too late to buy what is wanted to make the day complete. Meigs & Co. therefore seek to jog the memory of mankind to the extent of getting their customers to make their purchases on Friday or Saturday of this week. The store will remain open until late Saturday night, and extra help in both the selling and delivery departments will be en- ployed, so that all who wish may be served promptly and no one dis appointed. Meigs & Co.,, are showing everything that's new and good in every thing men and boys wear From the great show of straw hats and the wonderful shirt and neckwear show, down through the shoe, clothing and children's department to the basement salesroom where work clothing of every sort and Bridgeport's greatest collection of trunks and bags are shown, this great store is completely ready to outfit man or boy. It is worth any mans time to pay visit to this modern store.

178TH ANNIVERSARY.

The Greenfield Hill church celebra- ted it's 178th anniversary on the 18th and 18th inst. The rain, on Sunday, caused small congregations. The pas tor, Rev Dr Cane, preached in the morning from Psalm 87:6, and in the evening from Psalm '44:l. Both ser vices were appropriate to the occasion. In the evening there were several greetings from absent members read by the pastor. There was beautiful display of flowers, and the singing by the choir was very pleasing feature, especially in the evening. On We'd nesday, a reception for the older people of the parish was held at the parson- Der were present. and the occasion was supper was served by the ladies. Mu- sic was furnished by Mrs John HI.

Thomas Bradley of Strattield, who built the foundation for the present church edifice, added interest to the event by his presence.
 Notwithstanding the rain in the evening, the reception to the young people of the parish, youth not judged by years altogether, was attended by nearly 100.

a BAD WRECK.
Train Goes Through a Trestle in
South Carolina.

A local passenger train Oh the Seaboard
Air Line crashed through a trestle at Ca
tawba Junction, S c., early Thursday.
Four women passengers and three train
men were killed. and thirty persons
injured.
The train consisted of an engine, five
coaches and a sleeper. A freight train
which followed the passenger train
plunged i'll OH top of the wrecked train.
The train had crossed bridge over
Catawba River and was on the trestle,
when the trestle fell in. The train, with
the exception of the Pullman car, fell
twenty-five feet to the ground. A light
freight, following close behind the pass
enger train. struck the Pullman. and all
fell over on to the wreck, the engine of
the freight and box cars piling up on the
Pullman.
All the injured, sixteen of whom were
negro laborers, were from the southern
states. It will take about two days to
clear the track and repair the trestle.

SAFELY AT MUKOEN.
Russian Army Made Retreat in
Good Order.


1t is established that the Russian army
is safely at Mukden and that the retreat
was accomplished in good order, in spite
of the harassing japanese, sodden roads
hampered by more than 1900 wounded.
There is nothing yet to indicate the
exact whereabouts Of the three japanese
armies. When last heard from Kuroki' s
steadily pushing northward, but Viceroy
AleXief reports that railroad and tele-
graph communication between Mukden
and Hardin is uninterrupted
Gen. Sakharoff reports that there was
no fighting during Thursday, and while
the outposts are still in contact they are
not exchanging shots.
A detailed list of Russian losses is
promised, and it is said that these losses
will approximate 10000 as against 10000
for the Japanese.
1t is officially reported that Kuropatkin
has not been wounded.
1t seems to be definitely established
that Field Marshal Oyama'S tired troops
abandoned Wednesday the attempt to
head off Gen. Kuropatkin, whose army mas
arrived safely at Mukden after frightful
experiences in foundering through mud
and mire over the Manchurian roads,
Some descriptions of the scenes along
the line Of retreat are almost incredible.

STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Butcher Workmen Ready to Go
Back to Work.


The strike of the Butcher Workmen's
unions, which has demoraliZed the meat
packing industry throughout the country
for the last two months, was officially
declared off Thursday night by President
Michael J. Donnelly, of the Amalgamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of
America, at Chicago.
Thursday morning Mr.. Donnelly tele-
graphed the members of the national
executive committee asking their consent
to the announcement of the end OF the
strike, and having received favorable an
swers from all he declared that the strike
Of the members of his organization would
end at midnight.
The strike Of the members of the af-
filiate@ unions at the stock yards who
quit Work in sympathy with the butchers
will officially be declared off at a meet
ing of the conference board of the
allied trades. This was seeded upon at
a meeting of the central body of the al
lied trades, held Thursday night. The
general body was at first in favor of
continuing the strike, but Mr.. Donnelly,
who was present. announced that the
men were defeated. and that in order to
save his union from being entirely dis
rupted he would order his men to return
to work in the morning, no matter what
course might be taken by other unions.
AS the other unions had no grievances,
but had gone on strike to aid the butch
ers, there was nothing left for them but
to follow the lead of Mr. DOnnelly, and
they, too, decided to call off the strike
as far as they were concerned.
When the packers were notified that it
had been decided to end the strike they
announced that they would give places
as far as possible to the skilled men, but
it was stated at the same time that many
of these men would be unable to secure
their old places, as in many cases the
work was being performed in a satisfac-
tory manner by men who had been Sc
cured since the commencement of the
strike
1t is expected that the majority of I'M
skilled men will be unable to secure their
old places again. 1t was a question of
wage scale for this class of men that
brought about the strike, the packers re-
fusing TO sign an agreement with any
class other than skilled workmen.
