 tive Board Hereafter.

HAD TOO MUCH WILSON
WAITER ON WARPATH
Steve Pine Threatened to Knife Bouncer and Was
 Arrested.

wilson, that's all," sadly murmured Steve Pine to a friend last night when asked why he had been arrested by Officer Clough and confined to the Savih Rock police station. Pine, who has been employed at Wilcoxs restau- rant for some time, yesterday ai- ternoon started off to have a good time with glorious success. In the course of his wanderings he went to the Sea View hotel where without much ado he attacked an employe named Wilson. Wilson wouldn't stand for his friends S insults, however we'll meant they might be, and threw him out of the hotel.
 Then Pine ran around like a mad man and stated to every one he met that he was going to knife Wilson Thinking this was carrying the mat ter little too far, even for a joke, persons who saw him informed the po- 4ice and the worshiper of Bacchus was sent to the jug.

CONTINUE HELP
 TO MILL HANDS United Brotherhood of Car penters and Joiners
 Support to the
 Strikers. MAY HAVE WORK
 IN OTHER CITIES Union Men Still Claim That Building Work is Seri- ouly Held Up
 Here.

There was an unusually large att tendance of members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join erslat an important meeting of the lo- cal union, No. 79, last night, when a vote was taken to continue the finan- cial support of the striking mill and bench hands who went out the first of June, demanding better treatment from the mill owners.
 The feature brought out in the meeting. it is said, by the men is that the mill owners are harder pushed than ever in the matter of handling their business, although recent re- ports have been given out indicating a contrary condition, Not more than one-sixth of their work can they handle it is said, and the statement was made last night that considerable work now done at the mills is returned because of poor workmanship.
 There was a regular Monday night meeting at Union hall, and over $50 men crowded it full, and paid their weekly assessment, which has run for the month The men are contributing $1 each to the aid of the strikers, and from headquarters at Indianapolis each striker receives $6 per week, which, added to the s17O per week supplied locally, indicates that the union men are well supported.
 Twenty-Five of the mill and bench hands who struck the first of June are still idle, but the other 100 of the focal order, No. 611, have secured work in other cities.
 The men now working in the mills here, the strikers claim, are merely cheap mill hands capable only of run ming the machines, and doing this ir such way that work is returned I"Outside men," or those who do the finishing work in house woodwork, arc said to be almost altogether lacking As a result, with the large amount ot building started in New Haven this year, many houses are now half fin ished and only completed as far as the pastering, because neither the wood work nor the men to handle the jot are obtainable.
 How long this condition will last seems to be as uncertain as when the strike began some two and hall months ago, but by their action taker last night the union men evidently believe they have the right of the mat. ter They claim that the mill owners were merely assuming bold front IT the story of last week that the strike had died natural deal and that theil business was now running smoothly.

NU NIL W b OE DUNOIAIbN Tailor Firm Lost $3,000 by Daring
 Entry.

A boldly executed robbery occurred sometime during Sunday night in this city and as yet the detectives have ob- tained no clue as to the perpetrators. The deed was committed in the tailor shop of Goldbaum 6 Press, one of the three new tailor stores that occupy the one story building recently erected on Chapel street near York. Entrance, it is believed, was made by prying open a rear window. The burglars made quite a rich hsul getting off with silks and woolens worth, according to the statement of the firm, at least $S,- 900.
 Nothing was known of the robbery until the occupants of the store found the goods gone upon their arrival yes terday morning. They at once noti- fled the police and Detective DunlaT was on the trail of the case all day. Il Is thought that the burglars must have had a wagon to aid them in getting
 ,ay with their booty.

When Police Ask Where He Delivered it He is Unable to De-
 clare.
JOHN QUINN IS
 CHARGED WITH THEFT
Worcester Woman Com plains that She is Una ble to Find Trunk
 Loses License.

When an congressman calls and takes away trunk which he had not been asked to take by the owner thereof and Is then unable to tell where he has taken it, what is 1t? John Quinn, ex- pressman and in the business for number of years, found out yesterday that in New Haven it Is theft. In accordance with this definition Quinn was escorted into the lookup and will be called upon to face the court this morning on the charge of theft of said trunk.
 The trunk was the property of Mrs. Emma St. Armour of Worcester, Mass, who was visiting with Mrs. Hitch- cock at Al Court street. Yesterday she left word with an expressman to come and convey her trunk to the station and paid him to do so. Before his time came Quinn took the trunk away and when Mrs. St. Armour looked for her trunk she found h had not come She then reported her loss to the police, stating that there were articles to the value of about S2OO in the trunk.
 Detective Sergeant Dennehy went out and after investigation came to the conclusion that the man who had called and taken the trunk was Quinn. He then went over to the expressmans house at no Portsea street and had conversation with him, The express man admitted taking the trunk which he said little girl had told him to call for, but he said he did not re- member where he had taken it as he handled too many trunks in a day to keep track of where he took them. The sergeant was unable to get any satisfaction out of him and went back to the station to get warrant for 1 his arrest. Departing he turned to Quinn and told him that he would see him down at headquarters at 7:8O to see the chief, to which Quinn made | the response that if the chief wanted to see him he could come and visit him,
 l Quinn still stuck to the claim that | ne coulu Hot reneiHpor sWHeIo uo 1Aau taken the trunk after he had arrived at the station last evening. Chief Wrinn interrogated him without get ting the desired information and ac- cordingly Quinn was locked up or the l charge of theft. The chief also re- voked his license as an congressman last evening and declared that he would never renew 1t while he was chief of police. Quinn is 60 years of age and is quite well known among
 the expressmen at the Union station. He has never been arrested before. De- teotives Ward and McAyoy served the
 warrant upon Quinn last evening,
 The missing trunk has not yet been l located

Kuhn, the latter of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, be summoned into court to show cause why they not answer certain question relating to the control of the Chicago & Alton railroad. These questions were asked during the interstate commerce com missions investigation of the Chicago & Alton several months ago. Mr. stirn- son acted for Attorney General Bona- parte in filing the petition.
 The questions to which the govern ment demands answers from Mir Har- riman and Mir Kuhn refer to the purchase of the controlling interest in the Chicago and Alton and the Illi- nois Central by the Union Pacific At the hearing Mir. Hartman was asked what part of the stock so disposed of he owned. This question, on advice of his counsel, he refused to answer. The attorneys representing MT. liar riman stated that this was a private affair of Mir Harriman's and the in- terstate commerce commission had no authority to ask the question.
 MT. Hartman also refused to an- swer questions as to the amount of his holding of Union Pacific prefer red, nor would he state the holdings of H. H. Rogers, H. c. Prick and himself in Atchison, Topeka and San ta Fe. Other questions which MT Hartman declined to answer had to do with his interest in the purchase of 1O5,00 shares of Illinois Central the famous 10 per cent. dividend of the Southern Pacific road and his own profits occasioned by the sudden rise in this stock following the declaration of this dividend.

HITCH NOT TO LAMPPOSTS THIS THE NEW EDICT Horses Shake Welsbach Mantels and This Must
 Cease.

The fiat has gone forth that all hitch ing of horses to lampposts, which, 1t appears, has become too much of fad in this city of late, must be put an end to at once In order to accomplish this the police officers have been in- structed to warn any owner of horse so tied that for a repetition of such of fense he will be prosecuted, and to ar rest any one on the second offense. The reason for the order that has been promulgated is that the hitching of horses to these posts is believed to be the cause of the frequent breaking of Welsbach mantels used on the lights.
