TROLLEYMENS' TROUBLES.
EXECUTIVE OF THE UNION PRE-
SENTED PETITIONS YESTERDAY.

Increase of Pay is the Main Question,
While Members of the Union Say That
There Are Various Petty Grievances
Which Are Causing Considerable
Dissatisfaction Among the Men.
The dissatisfaction amongst the con-
ductors and motormen of the local troll
ley company was brought to an issue
yesterday, when the executive commit
tee Of the Trolleymen's union waited
on Manager Harlan and presented Pc
titions from the men. While it is adj
nftted that the conductors and motor
men want an increase of pay, yet it is
stated that other grievances are being
aired. A well informed member of the
union in speaking on the subject last
night said that there were certain pet
ty grievances which have been very
annoying to the men of late. Fines and
layoffs, he said, are being continually
inflicted by the company for slight in
fringement Of the rules, many of which,
lilCJ SOlfl6llNy were dlllIO5l uldNOlQdDl6.
For instance, he recited such minor Of
fences as carrying passengers past
their destination, reports Of which were
usually lodged against them by wom-
en-. The conductors defense, he said,
was that they stop the car as soon as
practicable after being notified by the
passengers. But in many cases the
! passengers fail to give notice that they
wish to disembark until they have ac-
tually reached the point where they
wish to get off, and then it is too late
to make a stop until the next corner
is reached. Action in such cases, the
men claim, is frequently taken without
their having any chance to vindicate
themselves.
On the other hand it was learned
from official sources that the main re-
quest made by the men is for an in
crease Of pay and that the matter is
now to be considered by the officials

PURGING THE DOCKET = FEy
CASES RESTORED.

At the opening Of the superior court
yesterday morning before Judge Shum-
way, the court called for motions ask
ing restoration of cases to the court
docket that had been stricken out at
the annual docket clearing last Fri
day. Out of the 1923 cases stricken off
at that time only five were asked to
be restored.
Attorney Downs of Derby, asked that

report of the trustee he restored, as 1t
was ready for settlement.
The other three cases were small
suits which have been pending several
years, and in which both parties were
ready to come to an agreement and all
were restored.
The remainder of the cases are now
erased from the docket and cannot be

Judge Shumway yesterday afternoon
handed down decision in case of Miss
lone Chivers VS. Town of Branford,
awarding the plaintiff nominal damages
Of $50.
The suit was brought for the sum of
$4,000 damages. The claim being that
the town was responsible for a piece
Of natural rock which lay on the side
Of the road, and which caused the
horse driven by Miss Chivers to run
away. This occasioned an accident,
from which she received injuries re-
sulting In nervous prostration. The
case took up the time Of the court for
four days. The evidence produced did
not show that the piece of rock was
anything unusual, or anything likely to
cause a horse to shy or run away. The
bulk Of the evidence, however, went to
show that the horse sdid shy at the
piece of rock which had been left there
by the selectmen when repairing the
road. In cutting away the rock this
particular piece fell off and was left
lying on the highway. 1t not being con-
venient for the team to stop and reload
and the piece was left lying there.
The question was did the selectmen
have the right to leave the piece Of
rock at the side of the road? And If
SO, was it likely to cause horse to
shy? The court found for the plaintiff,
and awarded nominal damages. Coun-
sci for the plaintiff, George E. Beers;
for the plaintiff, e. P. Arvine and
Harry Doolittle. The case was default
ed before jury in order that it might
come before the court for trial.

Two Ways Of Clearing Land.

Two weeks ago we puDllSuou dill
article from the Rural New Yorker
which gave the ideas of several farm
ers On the best way to clear stumpy
land.
1t is an important matter in this
state where there are SO many stumpy
fields. This weeks Rural New York
er has another instalment of answers
to the same question, which we copy
for your benefit.
At our farm we have had lot of
experience in clearing land of stumps,
and if some one could have given us
five years ago, the knowledge we have
since gained by costly experience,
it would have been of great value.
We have had no experience with
stump pllllers. but know that dyna-
mite is a rapid way of disposing of
s|tumps. The rule is in clearing land
to let stumps stand nearly 10 years,
but where there are only about 200
to the acre. it would not seem great
expense to blast them out. We use
40 per cent dynamite. 1t costs Is
cents a pound We have never had
an accident, but advise the greatest
of caution We began by using an
electric battery, but changing this,
which weighs q pounds, around in
the lot and rearranging for every
blast $50 feet of wires was found ito
take much more time, and was more
expensive than the use Of fuse. We
generally carry in strong bag the
quantity of dynamite we would use
for the time we would be gone, and
leave it at safe distance from the
work. From this bag we take suffi-
cient sticks for an hour of work and
place it in a basket or large pail, so
as to be sure it will not get fall.
We put in the basket an ordinary
meat skewer and a large knife. We
cut the fuse into pieces from nine to
Is inches long. This can be done
very rapidly before starting out by
running the fuse over the fiat end of
block and using an ordinary shingl-
ing hatchet to cut off the prices. We
put the caps on one end of the fuse
before we start out, and press them
on firmly by the use of small pliers.
We use what is known as the grOcers'
match. 1t starts slowly, and the
fame bursts out all at once, so that
the fuse ignites even in quite breeze.
The kind of match used saves in a
day a lot of time With dynamite,
fuse, matches and large knife in the
basket we are ready for business,
and carry this to every stump, SO as
to have the basket convenient to put
all these things back into as each
one is used. We have found a crow
bar too heavy, and now recommend
an inch and a half anger with the
shank heightened out with an iron
rod so that from handle to worm Of
auger is about five feet. In land
where there are many small stones
crowbar is the only thing.

What Constitutes Good Flowing.

What Constitutes Good Flowing.
We find an article which asks and
answers this question in an exchange
credited to the Furrow Good plow-
very large percentage of failures and
short crops in this state are no doubt
due to poor blowing.
Flowing is an art in which practice
often fails to make perfect. We know
men who have been brought up be-
tween plowhandles who have never
done a good days work of blowing,
and they are not horseback farmers
either There is more in blowing a
field than in simply swearing to the
team. TO do the work properly, it is
necessary, first of all, to know just
how, when and where to do it, Many
men pillow when the ground is too wet
or too dry, or they pillow deep when
they ought to pillow shallow Or shall
low when they should go deep. They
plow when they ought not, and go to
town when they ought to be blowing.
Therefore it will be seen that mind
as we'll as muscle is involved in the
work when properly done.
AS merely mechanical operation,
some principles should not be over
looked. Good blowing cannot be done
with a bad plow Have a good one,
suitable for the purpose and in the
best order Good work cannot be
done with a bad team. A wise engin-
eer always wants steam capacity
considerably above any probable re
quirements Similar ,rea sons demand
a plow team with large margin of
safety. The power should exceed any
probable and equal any possible re
quirement. A pillow team cannot do
good work under heavy muscular
strain Steadiness is necessary to
good work. and to secure this the
draft must be far below the teams
capacity. The team should not work
too fast. Speed covers ground, but
rarely leaves the soil in the best
condition. In cultivating young crops,
fast teams are often impracticable.
If the soil is to be inverted and vege-
tation thrown to the bottom of the
furrow, too much speed may turn the
sod too rapidly, while a slow team.
may leave it on edge. The mold
board of the pillow may have too much
or too little twist for the team. We
saw a man breaking prairie down in
the Arkansas valley some years ago.
His intention was to run three inches
deep, turning the short grass under
completely. When a start was made
it was found that the twist of the

Hale's Method of Selling Fruit.
Mr.. Hale's methods of selling
peaches are just as good for selling
oranges, pineapples, or any other
species of fruit. The following is
from Green's Fruit Grower:

ume of fruit, but he gets a higher
price for it, his net returns are as
great, or greater, and he is glad to do
it. I have found it pays to go to the

the Farmer and Fruit Grower takes
up the matter and makes some eX
cellent suggestions. We advised
those who had white fly in their
groves to try it as it cannot possibly
do any harm, and if it is as efectual
as Mr.. Vogt claims, it is certainly
something of great value to the grow
ers of Florida.
We certainly agree with the editor
of the Farmer and Fruit Grower that
no one should condemn this reputed
remedy until he has tried it and
shown by experiment that it is
worthless The editorial is as fol-
lows:
Quite a discussion has been started
in the state papers by Albertus Vogt,
who wrote to the Packer, of New
York and Chicago, from Barlow, on
July 20, telling of the good results in
combatting white fly he claims to have
gained from the application of copper
as (green vitriol, sulphate of iron) to
the trees. in the proportion of one
pound to each tree. He says his ex-
perence dates from 1890 when he
was advised to try it by Mrs G.. b.
Drake, of Yalaha, "a famous and sue
cessful orange grower. Mr.. Vogt
thinks it will discourage any insect
pest when the copperas has been alb
sorbed into the plants circulatory
system.
E.. n. Reasoner combats this, prin-
cipally on the ground that scientists
haven't been aware of this virtue of
copperas- an objection which doesn't
seem to have much weight. The red
and brown fungi he thinks are the
only remedies Others have raken
part in the controversy, but why
should there be any controversy?
When a remedy is proposed for a
great evil and that remedy is cheap
and easy to- apply, why quarrel over
it in advance of experimental ton?
Copperas is tonic in it's action and

scribed in the editorial intoxicating

THE NEGRO HooE CONVICTED.
Jury Needed Only One Ballot to Re.
turn a Verdict.

Pittsburg, Oct. 31.-Clifford Hooe,
the negro, formerly coachman for Au-
gustus Hartje, was convicted of per
jury in connection with a deposition
against Mrs Mary Scott Hartje, and
which formed the basis of the recent
sensational Hartje divorce trial. The
case was submitted to the jury at
1890. Only one ballot was taken and
when court convened at l o'clock the
verdict was announced.
The closing features of the case
were sensational and exciting in the
extreme. The attorneys during the
arguments attacked one another in
discriminatory with accusations, and
during the address of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Robb the negro defend
ant jumped from his seat and shouted
that the attorney lied.
Judge R. g. Fraser's charge to the
jury was an impartial review of the
law and evidence and thus ended a
trial which for scandal has seldom, If
ever, been equaled in Pittsburg.

DASH FOR GOLD FIELDS.
Indian Reservation Opened With Boom
of Dynamite. ...

Thorne, New, Oct. 29.-Early Mon
day morning thousands of men were
prepared for the dash into the Walker
Lake Indian reservation. although the
signal for the start was not to be
given until noon. Promptly at II
o'clock big charge of dynamite was
exploded and the race for gold was
on. Launches, rowboats, automobiles,
horses and burros were used to speed
the prospectors to the place where
the mineral deposits of the reservation
are located.
Charges have been freely made that
favoritism is being shown in allow
ing certain prospectors to enter the
forbidden ground and stake out their
claims before the signal is given. Ow-
ing to the extent of the territory to
be guarded, the small force of Indian
police have found it impossible to
keep the thousands of prospectors in
check. Many of them have evaded
the guards and are out of reach.

TO CHALLENGE MORMONS

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
Hold That Any One Who Teaches
Polygamy, Plural or Celestial Mar

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 29.-The demo-
cratic state convention has given out
the following statement:
The Mormons of Idaho will be chal-
lenged as to their constitutional right
to vote in Idaho. Thomas H. Jack
son will leave for the southeastern
part of the state to take charge OF the
work leading up to the constitutional
charges.
The state committee took the view
of the situation that under the sworn
testimony of the leaders of the
church given in the Smoot case, no
Mormon can vote under the provisions
of the Idaho state constitution. The
committees view of the situation has
been augmented by the positive state
ments made in various campaign ar
guments by Senator Hepburn, in
which he contended vigorously that
the action was an effectual bar with
out the enactment of statute to any
one voting who teaches pOlygamy,
plural or celestial marriage, or who

RUN NEGROES OUT OF TOWN
Race War Likely in Ohio-Attempt-
ed Lynching.

Dalton, O.-George Basore, town
marshal of Franklin, was shot and in
stantly killed this morning while at
tempting to arrest George White, a
negro suspected of being implicated in
robberies there. White was captured
after an exciting chase.
The negro held his pursuers at bay
until shot in the right arm, when he
surrendered. A mob of 300 attacked
the Franklin Jail, bent on lynching the
negro. While they were forcing an
entrance in the rear Sheriff Patterson
took White out the front way, hustled
him into an automobile and made a
speedy run for Lebanon. The depart
ing automobile was fired at by members
of the mob, but the negro was finally
landed in the Lebanon Jail.
The whole town of Franklin is
wrought up over the affair and negroes
are being chased out of the place. All
