CARPENTERS STRIKE.
Talk ef Forming Cooperative Build
ing Cooperation Goes Merrily on

Ale great army of carpenters that
hung around the headquarters pending
an adjustment of the strike situation
is no longer in sight, and at the pres
ent time the place looks more like the
office of big building establishment
than a meeting place for workmen.
Every man who cared to leave town
has secured employment at anywhere
from 80 cents to dollar more than
they had been receiving here; others
have picked up jobs about town and
are up to their eyes in business, and
half dozen more were in the rooms
this morning perfecting plans for CO.
operative building corporation. Already
they have received propositions from
several people who want to give them
work, one man presenting a set of
plans for a big tenement block and re-
Questing the committee to figure on it.
The men are enthusiastic over this
new departure and expect to have
things in running order in short time.
Two communications We're received
this morning from out of town persons
inquiring if any more men are availa-
bic. It was said to-day that a few of
the union men had returned to work,
but the men at headquarters said that
they knew of but one, and this did not
surprise them They appear to take
philosophic view Of the situation and
admit that in an organization of sew
eral hundred men nobody should be
surprised to learn that few would
desert the ranks in a test such as is
now on. Two out of town carpenters
came in last night, but they left to-
day. Nobody knows who brought them
here and it is not known why they
made such short stay. Things are
not being rushed anywhere and some
of the wise heads think that after
time the bosses and the men will see
things in a better light than they have
been able to do so far and bridge the
trouble in some way which will start
things going for the summer. But the
bosses don't talk that way. They
sneak like men who mean to continue
along the lines already mapped out,
come what may, and If this be SO there
is no use talking of settlement, for
the men are just as stubborn as the
bosses.

co c CLEE CLUB WON
ROUNDS OF APPLAUSE

Go G scored quite hit in the parade
In Hartford yesterday. The hit was
due in part to their fine marching an
pearance and in part to their fine sing
Ing. At various places along the line
of march, where the company was
halted, the members of Co G enlivened
the occasion with much music of
line nature. There is nothing which
cheers the heart of tired soldier or
one who is not tired. more than the
sound Of music. Co G has glee club.
in it are number of singers, who
possess fine voices. They received
their first public trial yesterday.
Wherever the company sang yesterday
1t won the hearts of the people nearby
and was received with much applause.
On one place on Main street the COM
pany had to respond to half a dozen
encores. AS the company departed
there was waving of hats and hand
kerch1efs and loud cheering. And so
it was wherever the company halted.
On one of the avenues near the Capitol
the military companies halted for a
long time. The members of Co G began
to sing several songs, such as 'sNIy
Blue Bell, /" Mister Moon.'' meet me
In st Louis, Louis" and was greeted
with much APPLAUSE from the occupants
of the verandas of the private resi-
dences nearby. Finally they sang
How Dry I Am" The last strain of
this song had hardly died away when
the women occupants of one of the
houses appeared upon the scene with
arms filed with bottles of foaming
ale. The boys received a royal treat
and it was much appreciated. Three
cheers and tiger were given to their
generous benefactor.

HEAVY FINE FOR BERGER.
The Man who Refused to Have His
Scales Sealed.

No mercy was shown to Joseph Ber-
ger of Riverside street, collector of
rags, at to-day'S session of the city
court. He was charged with Interior
ing with the sealer of weights and
measures in performing his work and
with resisting the police officer who
arrested him. Mr. Pagan, sealer OF
weights and measures, told of meeting
Berger on Charles street the other
morning and of asking him for his
scales SO that he might seal them.
Berger first said he didn't have ang
scales with him, the he stated that he
had the scales, but didn't want them
sealed, as he had another pair which
he was going to use in the future. Mr.
Pagan insisted, however. and Berger
showed the scales. Before they could
be sealed, however, he whipped up his
horse and drove away. The sealer OF
weights and measures went after him.
"A lively chase ensued. Mr. Pagan lost
sight of his man on Riverside street,
near the hospital The weights when
examined were found to be one pound
sny Officer Hickey told Of arresting
Berger at his home yesterday. Berger
resisted arrest. Judge Burpee inflicted
fine of So and costs for interfering
with the sealer of weights and a fine
of $40 and costs for resistance. The
fines, amounting to $32, were paid.
Patrick Mcdonald, an old veteran
of the civil war, who is rather deaf,
transferred the G. A. r. celebration in
Hartford yesterday to this city. He
was found sitting on sidewalk on
Wolcott street last night at 1870
o'clock by Officer Cronan He was
very drunk = fine of So and costs
was inflicted. The same fine was i'm
posed upon Andrew La Pine, charge
with drunkenness. A charge Of the
same nature against Jerry Lawlor was
settled for So.
The case of William Fogarty, the
trolleyman, charged with non-support
of his wife and child, was nolled, al
agreement having been reached be
tween the parties concerned.

NEW REMBRANDT PICTURE
FOR BRONSON LIBRARY

The Bronson library has recently re-
ceived from the Tuesday club ian inner
circle Of the Woman's club, a large
photograph Of Rembrandts portrait of
himself known as 'The Officer" The
original painting from which this is
taken is considered one of the best of
Rembrandt's portraits, and is among
the noted pictures In the gallery at
The Hague. It has especial interest
also, as the first of the long series of
portraits of himself which Rembrandt
painted every year of his life, from
youth to old age.
The photograph is an unusually fine
one, and is handsomely and appropri-
ately framed. It hangs in the reading
room of the library, where 1t adds
much to the attractiveness of the
room. and is greatly appreciated as an
evidence of kindly interest on the part
Of the Tuesday club.

DON'T PAY A CENT.
Attorney General Kings Advice in
the Atwood Suits.

Willimantic, May 2o.-1n discussing
the suits brought by Atwood against
administrators and executors who
have neglected to file inventories, At
torney General William Q. King SAID
to-day that he feared that many VINO
had been sued might get frightened
and accept an offer to compromise,
and, for that reason alone, he did not
know but that it would be advisable
to call an extra session of the general
assembly and pass an act which would
dispose of all the suits. He said that
there was no reason why any defend
ant should pay cent in settlement of
the suits, as the cases could be hung
up until the regular session of the gen
eral assembly next January when
proper legislation could be enacted.

OFFERS TO SETTLE.
Signs Of Grief in the Atwood Get-Rich
Quick Scheme.


Hartford, May 20.-It is very evil
scheme is on the way to grief. The
first sign of discomfort was when
these offers of settlement for $3.50 be-
gan to appear. But more has develop
ed since. Yesterday one Of the sued
parties in this city received notice that
the suits against him had been with
drawn. The manipulators had appar-
emily found that in that case Judge
Freeman had managed matters so that
there was no case to prosecute. 1t is
the belief Of good lawyers that not a
suit in this probate court can be sue
cessfully prosecuted and that every
dollar intimidated out of the threat
ened persons here will prove money
thrown away.
They are advised to stand their
ground and let the suing party walk
into the trouble that is ahead The
costs are $40 in each suit and these
will all fall ON the prosecutors. They
cannot collect here because Judge
Freeman extended the time for filing
the inventories before the. suits were
brought. He caught on to the suspi-
clOus circumstances and formally
granted extensions of time, and those
extensions were granted after the spies
had secured their evidence, but before
they had begun, legal proceedings. Ac-
cording to competent legal authority.
1t will be money thrown away that is
spent in settlement This situation is
interesting but it grows steadily more
agreeable for the executors and less so
for those who have been at so mueh
trouble to scare them
