Fatal Quarrel Between Ncighbors.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y., Jan. 29.-Ira E. Tabor, a wealthy farmer residing near here, was killed last evening by neighbor, Joseph Chapleau, as the result of quarrel growing out of the poisoning of two of Chapleau's COWS last August, Chapleau having accused Tabor of the deed. The men met on the high way, and after some words Chapleau seized @ stake from his sled and struck Tabor, killing him instantly. Chapleau gave himself up and is in jail. He claims to have acted in self defense. He is poor man, while Tabor had large possessions Chapleau formerly be- longed to the Fifth United States artillery which was stationed here five years

he stable yard, guarded by twenty policemen

ihe stable yard, guarded by twenty policemen with fiat clubs, to keep off the missiles that might be thrown, while twenty-three mounted policemen, under Sergt. Johnson drew up in line on the street. At signal from Capt. Kenny the doors flew open, the two teams of horses galloped out, the scabs crouched down and the policemen batted right and left at the stones and bricks that were flying through the air. The mounted officers surrounded the wagons, and although the crowd howled and roared and ran after the vehicles, the ten Americans" were driven safely to the Ninth avenue stables. At the Fifth avenue and Bergen street stables there were number of riots, but very few arrests.
 Mayor Chapin sent for Brig Gen. James McLeer, Col. John N. Partridge, of the Twenty-third regiment, and Col David E. Austen, of the Thirteenth regiment, during the afternoon, and held a private conference with them regarding the strike. The meeting lasted nearly an hour, and although nothing was given out for publication it is generally understood that precautionary measures were taken to prevent any general riot.
 The Brooklyn board of aldermen yesterday adopted the following resolution bearing upon the strike:
 Resolved, That the Atlantic Avenue Railroad company be and it is hereby notified that unless the cars the lines of horse cars under the con- trol of said Atlantic Avenue Railroad company be put in operation forthwith and run on schedule time steps will be taken by the common council to have the charter under which said lines are operated declared forfeited and void.
 Detective Powers, of the Eighth precinct, yesterday made an affidavit to the effect that John Collier, Morris Stenson and Herman Graham, who are under arrest charged with having caused tho death of Henry w. Adams, who was found dead in front of the car stables on Nineteenth street, deliberately en- tered the stables and threw the deceased from a window to the sidewalk. Powers believes that John Schumacher, watchman, is also involved in the matter. Upon reading the affidavit of Detective Powers Coroner Rooney refused to admit the prisoners to bail and they were remanded to jail to await the in- quest. An autopsy showed that Adams neck was broken.

X Brother-in-LawS Seeks Revenge and Gets
 Himself in Jail with the Others.
 ELIZABETH, N. J., Jan. 29.-Richard Jor- alemon married Job Woodrurs daughter, but they did not live happily and were di- vorced. Joralemon was ordered to pay alimony. During the trial many personah- ties were used, and Mrs. Joralenlon's two brothers, Charles and George Woodruff, threatened vengeance on Joralemon. Some time after they met him on a road outside the city and attacked him, but were put to flight by Job Woodruff, their father. Joralemon had the three Woodruffs arrested for assault and battery, and brought suit for damages. Job Woodruff was exonerated, and Jorale- mon was ordered to pay costs. He got $2 900 damages in his suits against Woodruff's sons, but the boys were penniless and had to go to jail. Joralelnon was also locked up because he could not pay costs in Job Woodruff's case.
 Another complication has come upon Joralemon. It is said that he can not pay bis alimony, and this will probably result in his taking another trip to the Union county jail.

BOulanSer's Triumph.

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The questions which some of the Radical members proposed to ask the government ill the chamber of deputies, re- garding Sundays election and its results, have been postponed until Thursday next. Gen. Boulanger did not appear in the cham Der and thousands of his admirers were disap- pointed. Large and excited crowds gathered outside the chamber of deputies, and 1t was with difficulty that their enthusiasln could be restrained by the police, who were present in great force. When Premier Fioquet ap- peared it was noticed that he looked care worn and anxious. The fact that 90, 900 Con- servatives and 150, 900 Republicans voted for Boulanger is considered in government cir cles to menace the republic.

Complications Growing Out of the Repeal
 ssof the High License Law.
 TREN TON, Jan. 29.-The complications that have arisen in connection with the repeal of the high license and local option law has given r.se to considerable talk in reference to the coming gubernatorial contest.
 Col. William Heppenheimer, of Jersey City, the leaier on the floor of the house, and ex- Governor Abbett's first heutenat, said in q conversation, that "Abbett was still the lead ing Democrat of the state, and would again go before the people as a candidate for gov ernor He must be candidate, and he will show that he is the leader of the party, for he will bc elected by an overwhelming ma jority." This information has caused any amount of political speculation about the state capitol.
 The Democratic party is by no means unit on the liquor question Senators Pfeiffer, Edwards, Baker and United States Senator McPherson are, it is alleged, already counting on the effect that radical liquor legislation will have on the next contest.
 The situation grows additionally complex, owing to the fact that the liquor men in the house threaten strong move if they are out witted i'll the contest to secure a complete repeal.
 The conservative element is steadily grow ing, and it is thought there will be lively time within the next fortnight on this question.
 Senator Baker is said to be q candidate for the gubernatorial nomination. President Werts is also looking toward the executive chamber. Among others who, in the discussion of thus point, are receiving some attention, are Prosecutor Winfield, of Hudson, and Mayor Orestes Cleveland, of Jersey City, Charles Hendrickson, of Burlington, will, ii is said, bob up for the complimentary vote, as will Judge Westcott, of Camden, and George G. Green, of Woodbury.
 The repeating of the local option law seems to point toward Senator Nevins as the leader of the Republican force a candidate fol governor. The impression is abroad, how. ever, that Gen. E. Burd Grubb is the leading candidate

BrookIyn-Adams Was Murdered.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29-Anothcr general tie up of all the surface railroads in the city, ex- cept the Third avenue and Bleecl.er street lines, was ordered last night at d meeting of Division No l of Nl.iona! District Assembly No. 226, which was held in their hall at West Forty-fourth street. As the night cars reached the barns on their final trips the men tied up their reins and joined the strike This morning only the tive surface lines mentioned are in operation, and between 5000 and 10 OOO men are idle.
 General Assembly No 226, which had the matter in hand, were in consultation for sev- eral hours last night. The order for the tie up was issued shortly before l o'clock this slorning.
 It was generally expected that such action would be taken with reference to the lines of the Dry Dock system, and possibly on the Sixth and Fourth avenue lines, but the an nouncement of general tie up was a sur prise.
 All the police reserves at the various pre- cincts in the city on hand, ready to go out a moments notice. For the past two days the police have been holding the reserves for an expected emergency.
 The patrol wagons are all on hand ill Mul- berry street to-day and special officers are stationed along the principal thoroughfares. Superintendent Murray was on hand early this morning to assume charge of the work.
 The movement Is in sympathy with the strike on Deacon Richardson's lines in Brook lyn. The deacon is interested in the Dry Dock line in this city.
 All the different local assemblies of District Assembly No 226 held secret meetings under fred letter" call last night
 President White, of the Dry Dock road, formally notified the mayor yesterday that he would hold the city responsible for any damage done to the property in his charge by striking employees. The communication was forwarded to the police commissioners In consequence of the communication Super mtendent Murray had conference with officers of the road in the afternoon.
 Auditor B. T. Landon and Superintendent F. F. White, of the road said yesterday that they believed tie up would be ordered, but expected to runs cars yhow. For this reason the company had asked for protection.
 The following notice to the employees was posted last night at the different stables of the company:
 ''The papers state that our employees are about to engage in another strike. 1 wish you to act cautiously and upon your own sober judgment I do not know why you should do at the bidding of any person what ever that which you condemn heartily and have said you have no desire to do. As you have informed me you are satisfied, do not do that which will sever your relations with us.

THE STRIKE IN BROOKLYN.

Lively Times All Day-Riotirg and Blood
 shed-A Deliberate Murder
 BROOKLYN, Jan 29.- esterday, the fourth day of the street car tie up, was an eventful one. There were riots clubbings by police men, conferences of military authorities, meetings of the strikers, sessions of the state board of arbitration and legislation by the Brooklyn board of aldermen But the strike continues
 Early in the day Deacon Richardson led off by issuing long manifesto, addressed to ''The public who use the cars of the Atlantic Ave nue Railroad company" and beginning thus: You entitled to the assurance that the operations of this company, brought suddenly 10 standst, will at the earliest possible mo- ment be resumed. Thers can be no impropriety in suppleInentins this assurance, here uneQuivoc- ally given, with brief statement of the condi- tions which eliminated in the suspension of travel and caused the inconveniences to which you are still subjected. Anything but co1orless and candid presentation of the facts would ob- struct rather than subserve the purposes prompt Ing this statement
 He continued by repeating bis statement of last Saturday night that the executive board only held two conferences with himt and that their demands were unreasonable. In simple arithmetic he computes the cost of yielding at S52, 1oS 12 in excess of last year. AS he can't afford this he refused to 'stand and deliver" at the demand of his employees, and so he asks the public to accept his assurance that he will operate his roads again at the earliest possible moment.
 The executive board of No. 75 were in con- tinuous session all day at their hall, 14o Flat bush avenue, and were busy all the time send ing and receiving telegrams, hearing reports of pickets and perfecting plans to thwart any attempt of the deacon to outwit them in the present struggle.
 They sent the deacon a letter, stating that they were ready to meet him or any other representative of his company with a view to bringing about settlement of the trouble on his lines of railways.

Men and boys lined the sidewalks on both sides to the number of 1000 or more, while hundreds of women leaned out of the windows and craned their necks to see the sights. Scores of policemen patroled up and down, and ordered everybody to ''get a move on him, which command was usually obeyed with alacrity.
