TWENTY ONE WEAVERS AND ELEV - EN SPINNERS GO OUT. « it is Hoped tied—All Differences .May- be Amicaply Adjusted. Yesterday afternoon when the, hour arrived for the resumption cf 'work' in“ the N orwalk Mills at Winnipauk, twen- ty-(me of the sixty weavers declined to go to work, saying that the warp supplied was of such inferior quality that they were unable to make decent wages. This morning the spinners, eleven in number, also “knocked ‘ off,” as the phrase is, apparently through sympa- thy with the striking weavers, but in reality, probably, because of dissatis- faction with the existing scale of wages. Desiring to get at the ‘tlue inwaid— ness” of the afi'ai1, by personal inter- views with the parties directly inter- ested, a DAILY GAZETTE representative visited the mills at an early hour this morning and first called on Superin- tendent Osborn, who has been con—1 nected with the mills for twenty-seven years. In substance he said that a few of the weavers complained that the warp worked hard and refused to re- main at their looms. Sympathizing fellow-workmen to the number of twen- ty-one s11 told, also went out. This morning the spinners, eleven in num- ber and all boys, struck, principally because they wanted a dollar a day each, instead of adhering to the piece system, at present in vogue. Mr. Os- born spoke kindly of the strikers and hoped that the difficulty would soon blow over. WHAT THE STRIKERS SAY. Subsequently the writer had a pleas- ant interview with two of the strikers, whose story is substantially as fol- lows: “We work on the piece system instead of by the day, and if the mate- rials supplied are not of good quality we can earn but little. The twenty- one Weavers who ‘wentout have worst. ed leoms; those who remain at work are on woolens. The warp given to eleven of us was very poor, and so much time was lost to keep it in order that very little money was earned. The other worsted workers, ten in number, found no fault with their warp but Went out for prudential reasons. We have no fault to find with Foreman Schreyer, who did his best f01 us.’ Asked whethera meeting had been called and a committee appointed to meet the VIIll management the weav- ers replied in the negative but that ac- tion of that character might be taken. There seems to be no ill feeling, per- sonally, in'this entire trouble, and the DAILY GAZETTE believes that Mr. Os- born and his associates will do the square thing by their employees: that the latter will be reasonable in their demands and that the whole thing will be amicably adjusted in due season. -——.O.v—-—‘ __()u-iny to the large noimbcr ofticlwts sold it has been. found necessary to have Senator Timothy J, For. deliver his lecture to-niyht, on “St. Patrick and the Irish Race,” at the OPERA.

Stamford and Norwalk Dogs Have a Fierce Fight a Few Miles From Norwalk. Victory Perches on Norvvalk’s Ban— , her and Our Sports are Happy. Yesterday afternoon the tip was given“ outto a chosen few of the sport- ing fraternity of Norwalk, that a long anticipated sporting event, a battle be-. tween Norw alk and Stamford dogs, was to come Ofi' eally this morning. In the evening a number of Stamford sports came over to witness the affair, having full confidence in their dog, cash. They mingled in quiet conver- sation at certain quarters, until ’12 o’clock when it was decided to meet on one of the side streets of the borough and from there stait foI the fightin% g1 ounds. In a short time after the car riages had congregated, the signal was given, a procession was formed and a started at a brisk pace, accompanie by a repOI tel of the wide awake D'Am GAZETTE. It had been surmised 1y the sports that the fight would come (If within a 1adius of five miles from tie center of the town and the s11rm$e proved correct, but so well had I 6 plans been arranged that no one gas able to guess where the afi'aiI was to take place, and up to the horn of stit- ing only three persons were in post??- sion of the secret, and they the ones Iv I After a ride of about twenty minutes the cavalcade halted at the rendezvqis, the horses were taken care of and All entered the building.

Assistant Engineer Kelly’s applica- "tion for a fire alarm gong in his res- idence was referred to the fire com- mittee with power. ' i A petition was presented, signed by J. Arthur Pinneo, president, for per- mission to erect a small frame structure on the Bishop lot for the use and oc- cupancy of the Lawn Tennis Club. On motion of Burgess Bowe, the prayer of the petition was granted provided the consent of adjoining property owners be presented In writing. A petition for a rebate of $8 in his tax of 1890 was presented by James Sutherland.“ ' On motion of Burgess Kent the rebate was allowed. A communiCation was presefited f1 0111 Chief Prowitt having to do with the trial of a new nozzle on Wednesday next. It is quite likely that the bar- ough officials will be present to a man. I On motion of Burgess Bowe the Chief Engineer was requested to order the annual fire department inspection in the latter part of April or early in the month of May. Chief Engineer Prowitt hoped that the entire court would be present at the inspection. Mr.‘ Torrey, of the Gamewell Fire Alarm Telegraph Company of New York city, was present at the meeting andexplainedat length what he con- sidered the disadvantages of what he termed the mongrel system now in use in Norwalk. [Referring, it will be un-, derstood, to the introduction of new boxes, the utility of which in» the Game- well system has been more or less ques- tioned] Mr. Torrey’s statement or'ex— planation was In effect that the present mixed system jeopardized the success of both the systems which are prac- was indulged 1n, however, the princpal one being a side bet between the hand- the fighting. the finish, which was one long round, only one tuin was made. fought at a pace that kills, and the Nor- walkeIs saw that he could not hold out peatedly threw the lemon and white After fighting about forty minutes if was seen that the brindle began to shov signs of fatigue, while the'lemon ani white showed his staying qualities ani began to force the fighting.

Mr. Torrey renewed his offer of last summer to put in five Gamewell boxes instead of those introduced, allowing $50 for each of the five removed. Burgess Bowe read testimonials from Worcester, Quincy and other cities, the purport of which was to the effect that other boxes than those manufac- tured by the Gamewell Company work- ed successfully in the Gamewell sys- tem in those places. ‘ At the suggestion of Burgess O’Reil- ly, views respecting the present system, and asked Mr. Torrey why the Stev- ens boxes wouldn’t work in the Game- well system. This led to an interesting dialogue between Messrs. Riley and Torrey, in which honors seemed to be about even for a while, as both men were evident- ly pretty well posted, but with Mr. Ri- ley’ s frank admission that he knew lit- ; tle about the fire telegraph system, the ' discussion ended. Burgess Buxton read an interesting letter respecting the Stevens system in Watertown, Mass, and its supplanting by the Gamewell system. MI. Torrey suggested that the betf IteI way out of the difiiculty would be to bring the boxes of the Gamewell and Stevens systems to Norwalk ‘and give them a practical trial for the benefit of the court of burgesses. Mr. Gus Frank/e explained that be- cause hf ~ the trouble with the Game- well system when he was a member of the court of burgesses and in. the fire department, he. had been largely in- strumental in getting in the. boxes of the Stevens system. , He contended that with the mixed system the work- ing was more satisfactory than under the old system. Mr. Torrey replied by quoting from the records to the efl'ect that the Game: well system had been tried and never found wanting. He couldn’t under- stand why it had failed in Norwalk. Burgess O‘Reilly did not think any company should have a monopoly; but there was any petition. or other com-7 Electrician Riley presented his - that before taking final action the Ste- vens Company, perhaps others, should be invited to come to Norwalk and show what they could do. At the suggestion of Warden Keeler further consideration of the matter was deferred. By request M1. Hoyt explained the situation respecting the bell in the electric light station? which led to a somewhat animated colloquy ; but lit- tle new was elicited. Warden Keeler then read the O’Reil- ly amendment, which took the ap- pointment of a fire alarm superintend- ent out of the hands of the chief engin— eer, which was adopted by the court of burgesses and subsequently vetoed by the Warden. . Burgess Bowe wanted to know wheth- er it was customary for a public official to send his veto of ' a measure to the press before action could be taken on it by the body addressed. Warden Keeler replied that it was an. important public matter, and that publicity did not hurt it in the least. On the _contrary, he believed it was wise so to do. If by so doing he had offended any member of the Court he regretted it. Burgess O’Reilly mOved that further consideration of the matter be deferred until the next regular meeting and moved the previous question. The motion for postponement pre- vailed. On motion of Bu1ge3s 0’ Beiily ad- joulnment was ordered. —-—————-——>.O. _0u.'tny to the large number oftielccts sold it has been found necessary to ha 1w Senator Timothy J.

St. Patiick, 01" Patricius is believed to have been born near Kilpatrick, Scotland, in the dawn of the Christian era. Somewhere between 440-460 A.D., he crossed the channel and entered upon missionary labors among the Irish people, the same continuing for about forty years. He founded religious schools and monasteries and while more or less hazy superstition has sur- rounded him in the intervening centu- ries, enough is known to warrant the profound affection and reverence in which he is held. Next to Christmas and Easter there’s no day in the entire calendar so dear to the sons and daughters of Ireland as St. Patrick’s day. To-day, from Queenstown to the Giant’s Causeway, from the Irish Sea to the Atlantic,from Kerry to Antrim, all hearts are aglow with religious fervor, while from this side of the great water speed tender messages and benedictions to the loved ones at home “St. Patrick’s Day in the Morning 1 ” What tender memories come forth un- bidden from the cloisters and corri- dors of the long ago,as these words, with a suggestiveness unknown outside of the Irish heart, are to-day upon the lips of every wearer of the green. Although the land of Killarney and Enniscorthy,‘ of Clonmell and Tipperary, has not yet emerged from the political gloom which settled upon it ages ago, there is hope for the belief that the efforts of patriotic, warm-hearted Englishmen may in the near future be effectively united with those of the most sagacious Irish leaders, and Ireland be freed from the troubles which have prevent- ed her from taking her proper place among the World’s nationalities. 4 -O—>————————5 —.0wing to the large number of tickets sold it has been found necessary to have Senator Timothy J.
