w of his Examination.
m
it has been a long time since the cit-
izens of South Norwalk have been
wrought up to such a pitch of excite-
ment. as was evidenced yesterday of-
ternoon when hundreds of people clam
orcd to get into the little court room in
Haviland street, and iostlcd each other
on the outside to get near the open
windows. The cases of the torn
young men charged with a serious
crime, wore to be tried befo1e Judge
Joseph R. Taylor. All were eager to
get a glimpse of the prisonersand the
complainant. and men almost fought
- to get in a position where they could
see and hear what was going on. it
was a surging. pushing crowd that
blocked the entrance facing Haviland
street, and also the side entrance on
the east. The regular police, reinforc-
ed by several specials. were kept busy
most of the time preserving order and
keeping e immense crowd a few feet
from the windows. Only the witness-
es and enough spectators to fill -the
seats in the court room. ware allowad
Inside.
The cases wore called for 3 o‘clo‘bk
but it was 3:30 before the prisoners
were taken into the court room. One
thing noticeable about the attire of
the young men was the fact that in
the lapel of each of their costs. was a
handsome pink carnation, given to
them by some young ladies who called
earlier in the day.
The cell room was filled with young
ladies, and girls in tender years. most
all day previous to the trial. They
called with a word of sympathy for the
boys who are being tried for a serious
crime. This had a tendency to cheer
and at tiresome time. sudden the
youngsters. for they did not appear in
court with the seemingly contented
look on theii faces, as was noticed

The first witness was the complain

where Davis was sitting and said
"That boy there." This was rather an
unexpected move and the prosecutor
had to repeat the oath.

no convention has been held for many
years. All hinges on too length to

from the penitentiary of Former State
Treasurer Bartlett by Governor Sav
age will go in their determination to
citicise the action of the govornor
The movement begun last night, to
keep this single element of party
strife in the background has appar-
ently failed and sentiment among del
cgates is so strong that there seems
no way to prevent the question com-
ing before the convention.
Governor Savage today issued a
statement in explanation of his action
in which he says:
“i granted the parole with the under
standing on my part that Bartley was
to reimburse the state and to render
an accounting of the funds lost in
banking which he was unable to recov-
er. i have given Mr. Bartley an op
portunity to right the wrong and my
action as regards the extension of
further clemency in the premises shall
be conditioned solely upon his com-
pliance with my requirements.”

though widely circulated, has failed

REPAIRING GRUPE'SM..RE8ERVOIR.
Thirty two Men Under Engineer
Wood’s Direction at Work.
The work of repairing the dam at
the (lrupe reservoir is getting along
vc1y nicely. but the repairs will not be
completed in some time. Engineer
(3. N. Wood. who has a force of men
under him doing the work. estimates
that it will take about one month
more. The employees are now down
about thirteen feet. The old mortar is
being taken out of the dam wall and
new is being forced into its place. The
force consists of thirty-two men. who
know their business in the matter of
dam repairing. When the structure is
completed it will probably remain in
good shape for many years to come.
Saturday’s big rain caused the res-
ervoir to fill up to such an extent that
the water flowed over the dam in great
volume. despite the fact that the big
gateway was thrown wide open.
The water continued to flow over
in this way for about twelve hours
steady. when the big gate obtained the
mastery of the torrent. and soon had
the water in the reservoir going down
at a good rate. The workmen were
delayed slightly. but thcy are now
busy again and have no trouble from
this source. as the flow is down to nor-
mul. Every day quite a few people
are on hand at the reservoir to view
. the operations of repairing the dam.

PITTSBURG. August 2~Probable

patches from Wheeling. was the inter—
esting topic in strike circles here to-
day but nothing definite could be learn-
ed. President Shaffer was averse to
talking on the subject. Finally he said
that while the report might be true.
he had no knowledge of it. He did not
see howa settlement could be effected
without the Amalgamated Association
and while some might hope for such
good luck. yet in the face of the gains
made by the strikers, he would not back
down from his original position.
The steel officials reiterated their
statement that no overtures for peace
had come from the strikers and that
the strike could only be settled by 91c
return of the men to their places.
The peace proposition sent out by
Prosicdnt Shaffer, to the members of
the executive board of the Amalgamat-
cd Association. for their approval. pre—
vious to presentation to the United
States Steel Corporation. by the rep-
rcscntatives of the National Sivic Fed-
eration lends color to the peace rumors
and the provisions of the plant were
being discussed by the strikers at. the
Lindsay & McCutcbeon works today.
The proposition provides for a provis—
ional scale not to be signed for this
plant. leaving recognition of the union
open. The men stated that they were
prepared to return to work tomorrow.
under these conditions. They stated
that all they would require would be
that the Amalgamated schedule would
be paid. and that union men would be
allowed perfect liberty and no discrin1~
inction shown.
Notwithstanding the reports that all
preparations had been made. the tin
plate mill. at Demmlcr. did not resume
this morning. There was much excite-
ment in the vicinity of the plant all
night. and several hundred strikers
guards the approaches to the property.
but no new man appeared, and there
was not the slightest disorder.
it was reported that two hundred
machinists and helpers. went back to
work at the works of the National Tube
Company. but this is denied by the
strikers. who say that no others are in
the mill than the hundred or so who
have bccn making repairs for some
time.
The Star tin pinto plant. in this city.
was running tbreo turns: this morning.
This was made possible with the six-
tocn extra men taken into the works
last night. Superintendent Arthur Plp~
or said they 110w had eighty skilled
illls in full operation. There were
any strikrs. pickets. mill workers and
others about the works today. but ev-
crything was quiet. The strikers claim
that there are not nearly so many skill-
cd workmen in the plant as the man-
ngcment would have the public believe.
Six mills were running full at Paint-
ers. and the management was preparing
to start No. 3 hoop mill and No. 6
guide mill. Thcy assert that they will
have all these departments in operation
within a few days. and that they will
turn out the scheduled amount of ma-
tarlal.
'i‘ho Monongahela plant is still closed
tight. and the manager denied the re-
port that it was intended to import men
from Ohio to start operational The
conditions are unchanged at the Penn-
sylvania tube and Continental tube
works. and also at the Republic iron
works. Not a man is at work in any
of the plants named and there are no
indications of early resumption.
The strikers are quiet and are re-
maining away from the company‘s
property. Advices from Massilon, 0..
say that pickets from the Canal Dover
mills have been stationed at the depots
in that city. to watch closely all trains
on the Pennsylvania and the Cleveland.

Wheeling ticspatches. this morning,
say that nothing is known of the alien-
cd conference of labor leaders. said to
have been recently held there to devise
a plan to settle the steel strike. and
the story is believed to be without

President Shaffer at noon again de-
died the persistent reports of early sets
