DRAYMEN HAVE DECIDED ID
 FIGHT
Meeting Held Last Evening and Definite Steps Taken Toward a Contest With City-City Will Fight Case.

The meeting of the local transfer men which was called for last evening. was called to order in the Palace Undertaking Psrlors at 7:45. The meeting was held for the purpose of discussing the adyisability of refusing to pay the license assessed each per son engaged in the transfer business. AS result of the meeting there will no doubt be a lawsuit to test the validity Of the ordinance.
 i When the meeting was called to order last evening fourteen of the six teen men who had signed the agree ment to stand together on the prop csition answered to the roll call. The purpose of the meeting was stated and a letter containing written opin- ion by Attorney D. c. Cunningham on the matter was read and referred to the committee which was previously instructed to consult him. This con- mittee will have another conference with Cunningham 10 arrange the de- tails of the matter.
 It is understood that the transfer men will prosecute the suit on the ground that the assessment is a tax rather than license, and az sucn Is not equitable. and for that reason void.
 One of those present at the meeting stated that they had assurances Of support from citizens who are not en- gagged in the transfer business. but who consider the license exorbitant. It was also stased that eight more men besides the fourteen who were present last evening would support the movement.
 Another meeting is called for next Thursday night to receive the report of the committee which is going to COT sult with MT. Cunningham.
 When asked about the matter yes terday Mayor Caven stated that if the transformer decided to sue, the city would doubtless join issue, and that he did not think the license would be reduced without an order of the court. This will be the first legal attack on the ordinance and will be watched closely. as the outcome will be used as a precedent whichever way the matter is decided by the court.

WILL KENNEDY BE DIsBARRED?
States Attorney Eggleston Criucises
 His Action at Hartford.

Hartford, Sept 20.--The publica- tion as to how Thomas K. Kennedy in the police court room on the morn ing of September 6 married Matilda Brown and Joseph Ferraiola, the murderer of Joseph Prestia, so that the woman would not have to appear as a witness against Ferraiola, occa- stoned much talk and criticism of those involved. Only those who were on the inside knew of the marriage, and the first information States At torney Eggleston had of 1t was when he read the Courant. He said yester- day afternoon that if the couple were married by MT Kennedy in the ca pacity of justice of the peace and un- der the circumstances disclosed, Ken nedy should be disbarred, he being a member of the bar of this county.
 The marriage return certificate on file in the bureau of vital statistics shows that the couple were married by MT Kennedy, and it is also shown on the paper that application for the marriage license was made by the woman, she having been admitted to bail few days before she was tried in the police court.

at the cost of general business de-


 We favor the strictest economy in
 the management of the affairs of the
 state, consistent with liberal sup
 port of our schools, humane care oi the unfortunates who from mental Ol physical misfortune are entitled to public aid. and of a continuance oi
 the present wide policy of the state relating to good roads. We invite inspection of the management of the business of the state, which. under the control of the officials elected and selected by the republican party, has
 amply provided for all legitimate de-
 mands, and has during the ten years
 last past resulted in reducing the debt of the state from $2,949. .466.1 5 to less than $30O,000, and this with out the levying of a state tax, and we invite the fullest examination and discussion of the methods adopted in the collection and expending of the revenues of the state.
 We urge the next general assem- bly, to carefully consider and act upon the report and recommendations of the committee appointed by the last general assembly to consider the sub stitution of the salary for the fee system for town clerks. sheriffs, judges of probate and clerks of the courts of common pleas; also the re- port and recommendations of the committee appointed by the last gen eral assembly to consider the laws relating to primaries and the laws prohibiting corrupt practices at cleo tiOns, and we urge the adoption of laws which will result in giving the fullest and freest expression of the electors of the state in the selection at the primaries of candidates for office, and will guarantee the purity of the ballot, and prevent the cor ruption of individuals and corpora tions.
 We recognize the mutual depend ence of capital and labor upon each other and deprecate any agitation or action which shall embitter the rela- tions between them or work injustice to either.
 The laws of Connecticut in rela- tion to employers liability and the assessment of damages by the court in damage cases, have existed prac- tiaclly unchanged since the formation of the colony of Connecticut, and no democratic administration has taken action when in power to change these laws. The republican party is the party of progress and we recom- mend that the general assembly give these questions full, fair and im- partial hearing. and if 1t is found that wrong or injustice is done under the existing laws that such laws be changed so that justice shall be done to all citizens whatever their pur- suits or ayocations.
 We recognize and honor the heroic service and great sacrifices of the vol unteer soldiers of our state in the de- fense of our country and for the honor of Its flag, both at home and abroad. and pledge to them anew the and aid due to gallant sol 1iers.
