SHOOT TO KILL.
Command Given by Police Inspector
Williams OF New York to His Men.
Progress of the Big Strike on the New York
Surface ROads-Seenes on the Streets
Collisions with the Mob.
THE STRIKERS DESPERATE


New YORK, Jan. 81 The third day of
the strike opens much the same as yester-
day. The situation of affairs is I'M
changed. The two days stoppage of the
cars has cost the strikers $50 900 and the
stockholders of the roads about $50 900.
To-day the Belt line and Broadway line
have made arrangements to run cars and
most of the other lines will attempt to do
the same thing. Quietness reigned at all
the East and West Side stables
during the night, but each stable
was guarded by police in case
of any trouble. There were many ap-
plicants for work at the Sixth avenue
stables this morning, nearly all green
hands. But few of the strikers have
applied so far. 1t is feared there will be
trouble at the Belt line. The men con-
gregate thickly at the stables and eX-
hibit an ugly disposition. They threat
ened this morning to throw the first car
bodily into the river with all on board.
Many OF the men have become Fighting
drunk
READY FOR AN EMERGENCY.
On account OF a rumor that an attack
is being arranged by the strikers for the
purpose of securing arms from the state
arsenal at Seventh avenue and Thirty
fifth street a squad of twenty men from
the Second battery has been detailed un-
der Lieut.. Pasco to watch the arsenal I'M
til the strike is ended. A detail of ten
men was also placed in charge of the
arInory of the Second battery to protect
the gattling guns kept there. The same
reserve force is kept at the police head
quarters as yesterday, and the same gen.
eral police precautions are maintained.
Third avenue cars are now running so
nicely that only one policeman is kept on
each car The Twenty third street line
was running the regular number of cars
at 10 o 'clock.
STARTLING COMMAND.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-Without
doubt the most remarkable and striking
feature of to-day's developments up to
noon was the ringing command of In
spector Williams to his men, Shoot TO
kill = Inspector Williams uttered the
words this morning when details were be-
ing made for the day. His words had a
marked effect on those who heard them:
elf the crowd uses clubs, you use your
pistols Have no nonsense about it. I
want no play, no foolishness. IF it is
necessary to use your pistols, use them
well. Shoot TO kill -

Willie County Has Beer Killed-The Sheriff
Feels Bad over His Loss
Special to the Gazette.
CAMERON, TEX, Jan. 3l.-Our citi-
zens are very much eIated overa telegram
from Austin stating that Willie county is
at last dead for the present. While the
people would feel proud of the boy, Billy
the Kid, they don t want TO see old Mi
lam mangled at his birth.
Sheriff A. j Lew is worried over the
escape of T. c. Carr from Deputy Beckett
at Hearne on the night of the
9th, and promptly offered a
reward of S1OO for his capture.
This is the first man that the sheriff has
lost during his experience OF ten years as
a sheriff in this county. Carr is no
toriously bad and dangerous man, and
Sheriff Lewis especially desires all police
officers to give this their attention, and
would be glad if the country people
would make notice of the escape and re-
ward offered.
After very excessive rains and con-
tinued wet weather the people are now
having very fine bright days, the ground
is drying up rapidly, and the farmers
Will soon be putting in seed.

GREENvILLE, TEX. Jan. 81 The case
of the State of Texas against Puryear,
charged with the murder of an infant
his own offspring, the result of unlawful
cohabitation with his brother 5
widow, is on trial in Hunts dis
trict court. After a day and q
half the court succeeded in getting jury
free from bias prejudice or settled opin-
ion about the case, and proceeded yes
terday into the trial. Only three or four
witnesses have been examined thus far
out of fifty or more summoned The tes-
timony of the state IS main witness, Mrs
Puryear, the mother of the child, is
straightforward clear and conclusive :,
and unless successfully rebutted or
broken down, the opinion prevails
here that the state has made out a
very strong case. The extraordinary
nature of the case caused a crowded
courthouse Of deeply Interested specta-
tors. Puryear is ably prosecuted and ably
defended.
Greenyille has secured the benefit of
the signal service: and over the
courthouse cupola can be seen the flags
peculiar TO that service.
Roads are still impossible in places,
but are gradually drying under the sun
shine. Business is reviying in CORE

THE FIRE RECORD.
Residences Burned.


Special to the Gazette.
MARSHLLL, TEX. Jan. 3l.-Our citi-
zens were aroused this morning about
4:30 by an alarm of fire, which was
caused by the burning of Mrs Della Ross
two dwellings situated at the corner of
North Washington and Grand avenues.
Her two houses are total loss, and the
residences of Gen. W. 2. Lane and Mrs
Annie Brownrigg were damaged, as also
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
The insurance was: Mrs Ross, on her
two-story house, $1,000 in the Royal, and
$500 on her one-story building in the Liv-
erpool, London and Globe. Mrs. Ian
dell, who occupied the large house, had
$500 insurance in the st. Paul, with a re-
moval and probably fire damage loss 4.
Mrs. Brownrigg had $3.50 on dwell
ing, piano and fencing, which
will cover her loss. Gen. Lane s
damage is covered by $1,000 Insurance in
the Home, and the church property by
$4,000 in the Royal.
The fire was the the work of an incen-
diary as about ten days ago an attempt
was made to burn this property, but was
discovered in time to prevent any dam
age. At that time lot of kindlings were
found piled against the wall on the back
gallery of the small house of Mrs. Ross.
A negro man who discovered the fire this
morning, saw two white men running
from the building, and another negro
heard some one talking as he passed the
building, Just before the flames were dis
covered, The matter Is being investigat-
ed and it is hoped the guilty parties will
be discovered.

The Boulangist Propaganda Talked Over in
the Chamber.
PARIS, Jan. 81 When the chamber
convened NJ. Hubbard demanded the
government proceed against Boulanger
with acts, not words.
M FIoquet replied that it was neces-
sary to combat the idea of dictatorship.
They must fight it resolutely in legal
way, using fresh weapons if necessary.
NJ. de Montagu declared it was time to
put an end to Boulangism. BOulanger
ought to be watched and stopped on his
march. ICheers from the left.
NJ. Laguerre (Boulangist) reminded
the house that the Boulangist propaganda
was supported by thousands of citizens.
Those citizens, he said, desired an honest
republic. They desired a republic open
to all Frenchmen, in cCntradistinctiOn To
a republic governed by the parliamentary
clique. 1t was an infamous SANDER TO
say that Boulangism was supported by
funds received from abroad.
NJ. Clemenceau held that although
Paris had made q demonstration that
displayed its discomfort, no reason ex-
listed for change OF government.
NJ. Moutant then presented this nc
ton: That the house, confident in the
firmness of the government passes to the
order OF the day.
The motion was accepted and adopted
by vote of 800 20 200.
Gen. Boulanger did not appear in the
chamber during the debate.

Much interest has been taken In the

timo been how to relieve woman Of
some of the burdens of labor which are

man travelling In Portugal moro than
forty years ago, found tho girls OF that
country busy with work which would
not be thought fit for those OF America

OF the party exclaimed, why. the
trees grow little girls!" and looking up

In the same way on different trcos
several other girls were thus occupied.
How they could have climbed up
seemed the puzzle, for the stems OF the
trees afforded not the stump Of n
branch on which they could fix their
tiny feet

in tho ncighborhood Of Oporto with Il
friend, when we wcre followed toward
n pine grove by II young and very
pretty girl, bearing Il Ratchet and v

She wore the neither garments Of n

belt with hor hands. and pressing the
trunk with her bare feet. After reach
ing u lofty Dough, she began to strew
the ground around with her green
trophies.

used as litter for oxen, while the cone
is burned in the houses Of the rich; il
