TIE ,LONGsHOREMEy.

Meeting Mt st. jaime Hall Last Night
The Strike to Become General To-
Day.
The delegates OF the 'lonpshoremen met again
last night In st. James, Hall, and were presided
over by Mr.. Roger Burke. The general strike OF
all members OF the 'Longshoremen's Union, to
take erect to-day, was generally discussed, and
the men again pledged themselves to work Tor no
master until the "Merchants' Union" shall have
effected an agreement with the 'LOngshOremen'S
Union. Great good Will was expressed toward
Caprain Trudelle, of the French Transatlantic
steamer France, for the sympathy shown by him
to the men on strike ana iOr his discharge OF all
Italians employed on his vessel The delegates
were very hopeful in the anticipation tnat the ele-
vator men and sewers OF grain bags viii Jotn them
in their strike, and II they do they claim that the
steamship companies cannot load grain they
at present intend doing. As usual, the most
bitter language was used toward the Walsh
Brothers, the stevedores, who were stigmatlzed
as petty tyrants. II remains TO be seen to-day
what the effect OF the general strike will be, as
the men believe that IL will break up the "Mer-
chants Union" within twenJy-fOur hours. Great
enthusiasm was excited by the news from Hobo
ken that their bret thren there wero determined to
carry out the fight to the bitter end.

THE DEATH OF LAWRENCE HYLAND.

In relation to the death OF Lawrence HyIand.
who, on saturday night last, was found lying in
the alleyway OF the tenement house No. 14S
East Forty-second street, suffering from frac-
tured skull and in dying condition, there seems
to be more ground for suspicion than was at 1rst
supposed. Within q day or two past, Captain
McElwaln, OF the Twenty first precinct has received
Information which led him to suspect that David
O'Brien, blind man and, his son David, inmates
or the house where LILY land was found, had some-
thing 10 do with causing his death.
Bernard Murray, and mis- son Jonn occupying
rooms In the same building on beng questioned
IN regard TO the matter, at first made statements
which went to show that the O'Briens had abused
and badly beaten Hvand while he was drunk In
ForLy-secohd street, on Saturday night. The Muir
rays afterwards contradicted tneir statements and
pleaded entire ignorance about deceased having
been beaten. In order that the case might be
thoroughly Investigated, Captain McEwain and
his of1cers, on Wednesday nigDt, arrested the two
O'Bren5, and yesterday Coroner Elckh0n commit
ted them to the 1ombS the Coroner also COM
