 A number of cases wefe continued that the petitioners may devote them selves to further preparatory study and one or two cases were dismissed for good and sufficient reasons.
 4 considerable number of the apDrexi- nateiy ss men who make up the force of the work train operating out of this city and who went on strike rather than work last Sunday were drifting back to their jobs Wednesday. This seems to have been another ii-adyised strike, but one that, happily, promises to dissi- pate itself in short order. The en that make up the work train force labor hard on six days of the week and have little enthusiasm for Sunday work, but, 1t was said in well informed circles here on Wednesday, that there need have been nc strike to bring about arrangements more satisfactory to these hard workers The work train was supposed to go to Norwich last Sunday to lay rails, but less than a half dozen of the working force repofted te go out with the train | 1t Is said.
