Prospects are Leas Bright Since the La-
bor Troubles [leg-u.

Referring to the prospects for the fall
season in the batting trade, the Danbury
News says “they are not any too bright
at the best, and have not been improved
by the labor troubles in the West. it
was thought by many that the local
factories would be fairly busy by the
firstof August. That hope appears to
have been dissipated. Ifliitl'flfl of orders
coming in, some of the western orders
already received hnro been counter-
mnndod or the manufacturers have
been notified to hold the goods until
further notice. Shipment to points
west of New York is too hazardous to ho
unilerlaksn except in cases of necessity.
The factories stared up yesterday morn-
ing, but the outlook in not encouraging.
There are very few orders on hand and
no one is in a hurry for bats. Many of
the orders are not to be filled until Sep-
tember or October.

a Rebekah Lodge in Norwalk in the near
future. Addresws were also made by
the other;grand officers, who reiterated
the statement, of the grand master and
spoke of the benefits of the order. Con-
siderable pleasantry was indulged in

tribute to consolidation by referring to
David and Jonathan, in one of the pic-
tureson the wall. as Mayor Kceler. of
Norwalk, trying to urge Mayor Lee, of
South Norwalk. to consolidate the two
cities into one municipality. He
also paid tribute to B. S. Keith‘s
eye? for beauty by remarking that
the' secret of Mr. Keith‘s vii-its
to thel’srk City was now apparent; he
had been over selecting ideas from the
faces of Bridgeport's pretty girls for
those chemhims on the ceiling. Growing
serious again, he told of several cases
where the charity of an Odd Fellows'
lodge was shown, and spoke of the
brotherly love of the order. B. S. Keith
and [-2. J. Hill also made short addresses.

interesting character, then concluded.

STRUCK Bl THE “FLlEll”

AN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED NEAR
THE DABIEN DEPOT.

 

Ila was Watching a Passing Freight Train
when the Express Bore Down upon him,
Which so Confused him that he Stopped
in Front of the Engine.

Train No. 105. the "flyer," which
makes the run from Boston to New
York in five hours, struck and instantly
killed an unknown man about one hun-
dred feet west of the Dorian depot, yes-
terday afternoon.

The man was watching a freight train
pass, when the express came along. He
started to cross the tracks in front of the
engine, but evidently became confused.
for he turned back and was struck. His
head was crushed and various bones in
his body were broken. The train stop
pod. a stretcher was procured at the de«
pot, and the remains conveyed to the
baggage room, where they were
viewed by Medical Examiner W.
F. French. An examination of
the man’s pockets brought to
light only what was apparently a time
book, on the flyleaf of which was written
the name ”Charles McIntyre." Whether
this was the victim's name or not could
not beleamed.

The man were a dark blue double-
breasted coat and a vest of the same
color, brown woolen shirt. dark trousers
and gray socks. He was apparently
about thirty~flvs years of age.

Undertaker James Birchard took
charge of the remains, and prepared
them for burial.

 

MOTOBMEN'S KICKING “AB! 1‘.
They Cannot K; Their "Bell Font"
Quiet Off the Cars.

 

A New Haven motorman called the at-
tention of a Morning News reporter to a
peculiar not. “We motorninn," he said.
“have developed a queer habit. When-
ever we stand still of?! a car or arein bod,
our right leg kicks at intervals and for
no purpose whatever. We are not ailiict-
c l with St. Vitus dance or my other
nervous trouble. Still that leg of ours
can’t keep quiet. Now watch these two
motormen on the corner " ‘

The reporter looked and in a few seb-
onds both men standing on the sidewalk
tapped it with their right foot. Tney did
it unconsciously and frequently. A little
further on another motorman did the
some thing and wondered why there was
a smile on the faces of the beholdeis. It
has been noticed by observing people
that the men who run the cars of the
Norwalk Tramway company areslilicted
with the same “disease."

“We all have the habit," said a motor-
iiian the other day. “We can't help it.
I‘ve tried to correct myself. but without
any success whatever. Let in: see a man
standing on the sidewalk, or let me sleep
with him and I can tell you in a few sec-
onds whether he is a motornian. We all
have the tapping kick, and we will have
it as long as there are footballs on thecar
platforms. You etc that no have to
strike the bell at it” the crossings and
curves and whenever anybody or any,
thing seems benton golfing in the) way
of the car. So, if a man stays at the,
motor for a work, living foil daily duty,

"Anotiisr peculiar fact is that a new
man becomes as lame n im hitting the

by walking to and fro.

“lion have seen sailors. after landing
betray in their gnlt the rolling motion of
the ship. Our habit is parallel to theirs.
When we get off our car that bell foot
always betrays our occupation to an ob-
server. We’re all healthy, though, have
no nervous troubles, and the habit of the
tapping kick does not increase with time.
A man has it asstrongly at the end of
a week as he has at the end of a year."

In the appeal of the Rev. G. H. m.
of South Norwalk, from the decision of
the Fairfield county commlmioners in
granting a license to McNamara Brothers,
of South Norwalk, the Supreme Court
decides that the appeal is not founded on
aquestion of law and so is not within
the jurisdiction of the highest court In
the state. Thus the defendants win
again.

The Supreme Court also finds no error
in the case of Miles and Jane E. Ball. of
New Haven, against the American 0”-

some boundary lines of oyster beds in

AUTOMATIC HANGING.

Its Victim is not a Suicide. .

At a mestingof the State Board of
Charities. held July 2, a resolution was
adopted, unanimously, denouncing the
automatic hanging machine upon which ,
Jack Cronin is to be hanged August 24.
and requesting State Prison Warden
Woodbridgs not to use it. Yesterday
Dr. Harmon G. Howe and Dr. W. W.
Knight, medical examiners, inspected.

the machine and approved of it in every
respect as humane and merciful. and V
positive In its action. Warden Wood-
bridge and the State Prison directors
have obtained legal opinion that hanging
by the machine complies with the law.

The opposition of the State Board of
Charities is based on the fact that the
condemned man's weight will set in
motion the machinery to hang him. Th'n
the Board contends will virtually make
him a su;cide. Warden Woodbridge Ind
the directors say that the culprit will be
forced to take position under the gel-
