The wheels of the engines are all repaired there and various other important work is done By yesterdays dis charges the force in the wheel shops is reduced to three. and one of these stated last night that he expected he and the others would be discharged to-day.
 A meeting of the local unions will be held tonight probably in Trades Council hall, and at that time the de- cision of the Boston meeting in re- gard to what action shall be taken Wednesday shall the road insist on the introduction of 2 piece work wage scale will he sheard The decision of the meeting is already known The men are ready to strike. if the road says that the piece work scale goes into effect
 That the road is prepared for the strike the employees no longer have the slightest doubt The opening of employment offices in various cities. and the response which this has met with owing to the fact that so many men are out of work is evidence enough for the men that the road does not expect the men will favor going onto the piece work wage scale, Tho employees doubt however, that the railroad can employ enough strike breakers who know how to do tho work required for even a long enough tirnp fo succneefuili- 1efeat a strike

Pledges to be Asked For Covering That Period Must Have at Least
 SIS, 1000 a Year fof
 Support. MAY SELL OUT LATER
Proposed to Dispose of Prop erty if Scheme Fails-In. terest Must be Paid on . Building Debt of
 $1ee,ooo

After lengthy session last evening the trustees of the Young Mems Chris tion association gave out a complete statement of the financial condition of the association which they did not hesitate to characterize as being acute" The trustees admit in their statement that serious errors in judg- ment had been made. which have con- tributed to the associations present embarrassment but go on further to say that these errors have been due to human fallibility and not to any lack of conscientious and painstaking devotion to the enterprise"
 The official statement shows that the unprovided for debt is $166,000 and the amount necessary to be rais- ed by pledges to carry on the work and pay the yearly interest on the debt will be not less than $15,000 an- nually.
 It is admitted that the times are hard for the undertaking of any sub scription work. For this reason pledges for two years only will be asked for. At the end of that time it is proposed to put the matter in the hands of the public. If the work justifies the continued support, it will be continued. Otherwise "the trustees will consider such disposition of the property as may be most expedient.
 The action is result of at least a half dozen protracted meetings of the trustees alone and of the trustees meeting in conjunction with the board of directors held within the last fort night.
 The statement of the trustees fol- lows:
 Trustees Statement.
 To the Citizens of New Haven
 The financial situation of the Young Mems Christian association has be. come so acute that the directors have found it necessary to call the trustees into their deliberations in order that if possible. a way may be found to solve it's problems and to continue ito useful uplifting and beneficent work and influence among the young men of our city.
 As a result of these conferences it has been decided to submit the whole situation to the consideration of the public, in the belief that, whatever criticism may be made, it will not pre- vent a considerate, benevolent and public spirited willingness to at lcast support the trustees in the proposi- ton they advance, and which they have tried to make as little burden- some as possible in it's requirements, and thus assist in holding up the hands of those into whose custody, un-- less this assistance is forthcoming, the property will have to revert for such disposition as may be deemed best. The trustees wisl, to testify to the great liberality that has been display- cd toward the association. and it is with a desire to protect and preserve to the city of New Haven. these bene- factions that they now appeal.
 The trustees with equal frankness

pay the couatry school teachers FIR

tcber. The teachers have not receiv-
cd their salaries for November, and
T. will be several days yet before

will be greatly appreciated, however
as the teachers have not had any
lay for six weeks or more and
needed their salaries badly.

teadent of Public Instruction, pro-
tests vigorously against the school
teachers salaries being held up, aud

ro%ed from the school fund 10 pay
any other claims, He insists tnat
the teachers should &c their pay
regularly. Captain Farley says mat
It will only be short lime until
the salaries will be paid when they
are due, aad that there will not be
any delay such as there mas been
H. the past.
Money is coming into the treas
uTy in a steady stream now, and Il
win not be long before there will
b. plenty of money to pay all claims
against the state The sheriffs are
making their settlements and several
million dollars will come into the
treasury before Christmas. IT has
Jcen received SO fast that Auditor
Frank p, James has not had time

London, KY, Dec. 5.--While Capt. B
b. Golden was speaking here in re-
ply to Caleb Powers woman Bprang
to her feet and began to say some
cutting things. The crowd became ex-
cited and Golden tried 10 proceed,
when she yelled out that she knew
who killed Goebel and that he is now
a free man in this part of the coun-
try.
Many present understood that the
reference was to a Laurel county
man who has never been publicly
charged with completely in the as
sassination OF Goebel, but upon whom
suspicion has rested strongly. This
man is strong admirer of Powers
and was here yesterday.
This incident closed one OF the
most dramatic political days in the
history of the county, though the
trouble between the Powers ana Col
den factions, which was expected by
many, did not occur further than
some vitriolic arguments.
