Brown, chief of police, delivered John Palidona of Westerly, as & prisoner and deserter to the mill- tary| authorities at Fort Greble Fri- day \afternoon, in_compliance with a warrant issued by the ekamining board for Division No. 1, Palidona did not appear, as ordered, ‘to depart for Camp Devens, with the Rhode Island contingent last Wednesday, 2nd had previously informed the clerk of the board that if he was wanted before he was ready to go someone would have to come and get him. _Clerk Loomis issued a warrant for his ar- rest as a deserter and gave the war- rant to Chief Brown for service. Pali- dona, who is a macaroni maker, was | not ready to go when the chief apr prehended him, but he went, just the same. On’ arrival at Fort Greble, Chiet Brown delivered his, prisoner to the commanding officer, and received a receipt for the delivery. It was the first case of desertion brought to Fort Greble under the select service law and the military authorities were not cognizant with the mode of procedure. So, temporarily, Palidona was placed in 'the guardhouse and treated just as if he had been a deserter from the reg- ular army, instead of from the na- tional army. Charles B. Coon, superintendent of Wilcox Park, has ‘increased force to gather in the leaves as they fall in order to keep the greensward present- able until snow falls. Aside from | grading up_to the new walk across the park, Superintendent Coon has supervised the filling in of the small pond that for years served as a re- ceptacle for the sewage that entered the open brook that flowed throuzh the park. This has been seeded over and already is covered with grass. That open brook is open na fonger. It has been covered with granite slabe and over this has been placed a con- siderable lot of earth and loam, and will be added to the lawn-like appear- ance of the sloping grounds when summer returns. The artificial lake has now its patches of pond lilies, is stocked with fish, and a large, white swan floats gracefully on the surface. This swan was recently presented to the park, and_Superintendent Coon is_planning to secure a mate, and some white Pe- kin ducks to keep the swan company and add to the attractiveness and the beauty of the lake. 7 Rev.

Pardenel were on their way to Wash- ington to confer with authorities in reference to her entering the service of the government, and that, after that she and_the captain were to be mar- ried.

Middletown—With ’only sixty-two out of the 698 officers and men who left this city November 18, 1862, aur- viving, the members of the Twenty- STONINGTON Strike of Weavers at Velvet Mill, on Since July, Has Meant $250,000 Wage Loss—Home Guard Battalion Enter- tained by Major Charles P. Williams ign—Dr. Street- The striking weavers of the Ameri- can Velvet company who quit work early in July are still on strike. The matter in dispute is not a matter of wages or working hours, but just at the present time has evolutionized to a demand that every weaver out on strike be taken back into the employ of the company. At the _start some weavers were engaged in what was termed objectionabie work ~and the complained not to the mill manage- ment, but to fellow weavers who were engaged in a more desirable class of work. These latter complained to the management and were practically in- formed that as their work was satis- factory to them it was up to the dis- satisfied men to make the complaint. This was followed with a demand that the management recognjze a shop com- mittee to adjust grievances. The sup- erintendent said_he could enter. into no such agreement until advised by the owner of the plaat in New York, and this could not be done until three or four days_or perhaps more. This meet was Monday, July 2, and the men were asked to await a reply on the following Friday. The weavers held a meeting and decided to quit work un- til the question was settled, and, it is said, in the meantime they ‘organized The owner of the plant in the mean- time informed the weavers that the union would not be recognize@. that the mill would remain an open shop aha rather than have unionism prevail in the plant it would be shut ddwn in- definitely. There has been several conferences, and the shop committee grievance plan were adjusted by having the weavers and representatives of - the mill'management on the committee. It was supposed on the part of the mill management that all was satisfactory, but there came another hitch and the strike is still on. There were about 140 weavers em- ployed in the mill, and the owner in- formed them that since the strike was commenced that there had been a mark- ed change in the raw material market, with attendant increase in prices that all go into-the manufacture of the goods, and that the mill could be op- erated satisfactorily, with 80 weavers, but that he would give employment to 110, and with preference to the weav- ers resident of Stonington. It was @ case of all or none with the weavers, based on the belief that the men who defended the weaver body and repre- sented their interests in the contro- versy were the on s selected to walk the plank. So the strike that was s0 near settlement has another set-- back. Since the start of the strike to the present time upwards of $250 000 in wages has been lost to the weav- ers and a good portion of it by the fourth Connecticut Volunteers, gath- v forty-fifth reunion here - call_showed 27 merchants of Stonington.
