CoId-Elouded Murder in Texas


DALLAS, March SOsh.-At noon to-day
Michse Burns, an inoffensive and popular
waiter, stepped out Of the st. James Hotel
into the alley adjoining, and was immedi-
stelY shot down in cold blood, and soon aft er
died. Willis Adams, with two smoking pis-
tolls in his hands, was arrested on the spot for
the crime. He is resident of Dallas, en-
ployed as a dr1muer by Derby & Dsy, of St.
Louis, and is brother Of Samuel j. Adams,
Dallas banker. The accused for years has
been in intimate relationship with Polly Par
ker, the most notorious of the Dallss demi
monde, who two years ago established
house of the worst Iepute at LOG Commerce
street, within two feet of Burns residence.
The family are said TO have been subjec ed
to outrageous insults and persecution by
Adams Madame Parker and persons
of both sexes who frequentei the den.
Mrs. Burns is an invalid, unable to leave the
house; otherwise she and her husband
would have moved long ago. They recently
attempted to sell the property, but was pre-
vented by the surroundings, and could get no
purchasers ; nor could they even rent. Hacks
have been caused to stand 10 front of their
residence to make people believe that the
Burnses were of Dad reputation. The killing
has raised public indignation TO high pitch,
and the streets were filed with excited men
of all classes this afternoon and evening.
Everyone condemns Adams, and hundreds
were heard openly to declare in favor of going
to the Jail to night and lynch him; also to
tear Madame Parker's house down. The
news from Cincinnati has Influenced the pub
lie mind, and on every hand remarks are
heard, I'VE need little of Cincinnati here"
The Sheriff has doubled his force, and is rid
ing about the city warning men that attempts
at lynchiug will result in the loss of many
lives. A jury has been obtained, but the in-
quest was continued till tomorrow. Adams
has secured several of the ablest lawyers 10
the city. and this is eagerly commented on in
connection with bis wealthy relationship.
The populace, particularly the laboring ele.
ment, is greatly aroused.
Prolonged COIIiery Strike Imminent.
CLEARsFIELD Pa J, March 30.h.-The an
nouncemeIt that the prominent companies
comprising the Bituminous Coal Exchange
will reduce the wages in all departments of
labor on Tuesday next, April 1st, has created
the liveliest excitement throughout the Clear
field and Broad Top districts. The Miners
Union is very strong. The Knights of Labo:
organization has taken deep interest il the
aft airs of the Golfers Association, and
spirited and prolonged strike will be inaugu-
rated unless there is some modification or an
entire abolition of the new schedule of min
ing rates. Fully 10 900 6iscontented miners
are ready to throw down their tools and quit
the mines as soon as the signal is raised for
the Inauguration of strike. The operators
claim that the state of the trade imperatively
demands a reduction of miniHg expenses. On
the other side the miners assert that the &C.
ton is unnecessary, unwarranted and arbi-
trary. 1t is quite evident that the coal and
transportation corporations apprehend ex-
tended and complicated diff culties, if not
laWless and disastrous uprisings, as sill ar
rangements have been perfected for placing
large, strongly-equipped and well-armed de-
tachments Of the coal and iron police in these
districts, where there is no regularly consti-
tuted constsbulary, and where valuable and
perishaole colliery property might possibly be
exposed to mob violence.
