Murderer of Young Grocer.
PLAINlt‘lELD. N. .I., Feb. 3.—~'l‘his
vicinity today Is being hunted over by
n posse to fill attempt to find the mur-
tlcrcr of (icorgc Williams. a young
grocer in the, village of Wutcltung, who
was found allot dead in his sleight on
the road to Warreuvlllc yesterday. Wll~
liams had started out, to drive a well-
dressed stranger to Warrenvlllc and
that. was the last seen of him until he
was found dead. The stranger has dis-
appeared anti no motive for the crime
can be learned.
The mysterious stranger visited
Watt-bung lii‘ft)l'c noon. Hf.‘ was per-
haps forty years old, of light compicx~
ion with sandy moustache. Weil-(ll't‘xbf‘d

he was in a hurry to reach Warrcnvilie.
where bc'bnd an important engagement
not] after several futile attempts to no-
gotiate for a vehicle and some one to
drive him. he entered Williams“ store
and induced the grocer to drive him
to Wurrcnt'lllc. Later in the day Ell-
gcuc l’opc found the sleigh at the
side of the road, with Willianm' body
crouched on tile bottom,
l‘ope observed footprints in tile snow,
uppurcnlly made by a man walking
backwards. lic followctl them a short
distance. bttt returned and brought
Willlnntu‘ body and sleigh to Watt-hung.
A postal was organized to search for the
stranger. 'l‘lto footprints when follow-
ed up led to the house of It Frenchman
named Pollock. 'i‘be stranger had said
he wished to visit Pollock. The house
was apparently doucrtcd and up to to-
day Pollock cannot be fottnd. Ho is the
man the stranger said he was going to
visit, anti has a good reputation in the
vicinity. r'rom Pollork’s house the.
footprints wore follower! to the Mll-
llugion station, where the nfuilnn agent
ilillfl a man mutworlng the description
of the stranger had boarded a train
for New York without buying a ticket.
Today a posse of farmers ut'u uuurdlng

of the Frenchman. who it ht hoped may
be able to throw some ,figbt on the.

Nothing about. the appearance of tho
sleigh indicated that there had been
a struggle. anti a careful examination
of tho Warronviilo road for miles did
not afford any further information
along that llne.‘ it is believed that the
stranger shot Williams without warn-

seems to indicate that the bailout went

NEW HAVEN. lt‘cb. 3.--Amoug oili-
clals of the New York. New Haven and
Hartford Railroad Company consider»
able fears are expressed that the ex-
isting movement involving the engin-
ccrs and firemen of the co‘mpany may
lead to a strike of the latter.
The situation is of a very peculiar
character. it does not involve any
question of wages, hours of work, or
time or place of Service, but is n qttcs~
tiou of the attitude of the company
towards the engineers and fircmcu‘s
locomotive organization.
The number of engineers employed
by the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Company is about 1.400. (If
those. about 1.000 belong to the Hrotb~
erhood of Locomotive Engineers.
About 150 are non-union and about 250
still belong to the firemen's brother-
hood. although promoted to be engin-
ccrs. They desire to remain in the
flrcmcn's brotherhood. partly en. ac-
count of its financial condition and also
because of special insurance benefits.
as well as for other reasons.
The 250 engineers and the brother-
hood of firemen behind them. demand
that engineers still remaining in the
firemen's brotherhood. also remain un-
der the firemen‘s rules, in their rela-
tions to the company. The company,
on the other hand. says-that as they
are actually engineers. they must be
treated as such and come under the
engineers’ rules. The Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers to which. as
stated. about 1.000 of the. engineers in
the corporation belong, takes the com-
pany's view of the matter.
it also points out that the effect of
allowing firemen. when promoted to
engineers, remaining under the fire-
mcn's rules, must inevitably. by con.
tlnuous promotion. lead in the end to
the complete absorption of the QIBI‘
neers' organization by that of the le-
comotivc firemen. As to this point.
tbc position of the company is that.
the, two organizations should settle
their own troubles among themselves:
but lllt'tulwilllv there is a condition of
affairs which threatens a strike. The
locomotive engineers have offered to
leave the whole matter out to arbi-
tration, and ii is hoped tltut the ad-
vlcc of higher officers of the two or-
ganizations will avert trouble, '
As a i'(\‘-ltlli. of the situation. the
feeling between the members of the
two brotltcrhoods is very intense and
bitter with the company brought in.

Members of Fire Department
Confronted with Several Dif-
ficulties. in Extinguishing
Blaze at St. George ‘ Pulp
And Paper Plant, Last Night
Many members of the Norwslk Fire
Department suffered intensely from the
cold last night while fighting a club
from blaze in a big pile of Wood pulp
in Smith street, worth sereral thous-
and dollars, and coined by the St.
.(‘ieorge Pulp and Paper Company.
whose new plant hero is under new
sirttctlon.
The damage from the blaze is very
small. President. Goodfellow stated this
morning that the loss was insignificant
and was not worth trying to estimate.
it is supposed that the pulp took fire
from sparks coming front the canals
of the Meeker foundry. which is within
a few feet of the big pile of pulp.
A still alarm was first sent in to Hone
Hosc Company and the latter's hose
wagon was sent down. In the meantime
the blaze was discovered from the
Wall street. bridge, and shortly Hflfii'<
ward an alarm was Iurntnl in from Box
15 at the corner of Main and Wall
streets.
The full department responded in
very tyttick iimc, but arriving at the
soul of the trouble they wuro confront»
ctl by another problem. The first two
hydrants to which bone was attached
“'ftl‘f‘ found to be frozen up. 'l‘hesc
were the hydrant at the fool, of Mill
Hill and the other in Smith street,
near the policc lockup. Water was fin-
ally gottcu through the lust. named
hydrant, though a tire would have
gained much headway bad this been
the only source of securing watcr.
A line of hose was rtm to a hydrant
in front. of the Holmes, Kcoicr and
Scllcrk Company‘s store and soon a
stream large enough to successfully
drown out the fire was seemed. An‘
other line of hose was taken up Knight
street to a hydrant near the Postal
Typewriter Company's factory, but this
was not used,
The hose was taken across the trolley
tracks anti for some time there was a
