Will Cost Less This Year.
 W. P. Hayes, who has been acting as telegraph operator and ticket agent the Danielson station of the N. T.. N. H. & H. Railroad company has disappeared. About $200 of the coinpany's money is known to be miss ing, and when the auditor, who is checking up the accounts finishes his work, still greater shortage may be shown.
 Hayes has only been in Danielson about fortnight and came here as a substitute for the regular operator who is away on his vacation. Where Hayes home is no one in Danielson seems to know, but he came here from Norwich where he had also been doing substitute work. It appears that on Tuesday evening Hayes forwarded by Adams express to the auditors office in New Haven two envelopes, one pre- sumably containing about $50 of freight receipts, the other $50 in pas senger receipts.
 When the envelopes reached New Haven each was found to contain a dollar bill and wad of telegraph blanks. In the meantime Hayes had made good his escape, getting out. it is said. on the same train that took the envelopes that were supposed to contain the money. He has been trac- ed to as far as Plainfield, where he left the train. but whether he went from that place toward Providence or Willimantic is not known.
 Hayes is about 26 years of age, tall and well put up. He wore a suit of straw hat when he left here. It is said that Hayes had been drinking for few days previous to his disap- pearance.

Striking Italian laborers to the num- ber of about a dozen, and who have been in the employ of the Connecticut |Contracting company, building one of the sections of sewer gave the police concern Thursday when they threat ened to fight if any attempt was made by the company to i'll their places.
 The whole trouble originates over the fact that the men, up to Thursday night, had been unable to collect five weeks pay due them. They quit the job Tuesday and have been awaiting q settlement since then. Thursday morn ing an agent of the company made his appea rance in Putnam and had con- ference with the men. Two Weeks Pay Offered.
 They say he offered them two weeks pay as an inducement to go back t, work, but they demanded the fut! amount due before they would go back to work. Some fiery talk ensued when the agent said he would fill their places with other men.
 Threatened Trouble.
 The leader of the gang later told Captain Murray of the police that If the attempt was made to put new men into the trench there would be trouble. Captain Murray came back at this def with the announcement that If there was any trouble it would be promptly d engaged in it would be locked up. This ultimatum was received with some grumblng, but it carried weight. The agent of the company also announced his intention Of getting other men to finish out the contract, which is nearly completed but he did not do so Thurs day.
 Took Legal Action.
 During the afternoon ten of the strikers appeared in the office of q legal firm and took action for the coilectig, of the amount due them They were in a quiet but not pleasant state of mind.
 Just how the matter will be adjusted was uncertain Thursday, but a Ian to have the city guarantee the men s wages for the time that it will take 10 complete the section of sewer was be- ing worked out and the men may go back to work under such an arrange ment today Peter Suzio of New Britain is treasurer of the company, but he has not put in an appearance of late.
 Work Has Been Delayed.
 The contract that this company has has proved an exasperating one. I1 called for the laying of sewer through the lodges in the vacant lots between the river and Elm street as far north as Water street The work has proved
 
 contract should have been completed in December of last year, but it is still to be finished.
 Just what the financial strength of the company having the contract is. is uncertain, Nbut the fact remains that an attachment was recently. placed upon money due creditors in the amount of $4,500.
 Firemen's Night Brought Good Sum.
 Thursday was Firenen's night at the Bradley theater. and there was large attendance to help along the fund that it is desired to increase by $500 Il meet the expenses of the big muster that is being arranged for Oct. F Special fire scene pictures were includ- ed in the programme and there was some good vaudeville. Manager Mor- Till gave the firemen an equal division of the gross receipts. making tota of more than $500 that the irene have received from this source since they first began to work for the muster year ago.
