Street Oar Strikers In Brooklyn
are Ready for Violence,
While the Oniclals Of the Company are De-
termined Not to Recede from Their
Position-Trnffic Suspended
Several Fights Already.


BROOKLYN, n Y, Jan 29-No attempt
was made by President Richardson, of the
Atlantic avenue surface railroad, TO send out
cars yesterday Most Of tee new men have
deserted because of the I'll. eats OF the old
men, and oil things considered, Mr.. Rich
ardson thought II best not to attempt TO run
cars. About 1000 strikers were assembled
in the vicinity of the offices Of the company
on Atlantic and Third avenues. The police
force is wholly inadequate TO protect the
property Of the company.
Several men who attempted TO run the
gauntlet Of The strikers pickets In reaching
the Offices Of the Atlantic avenue railroad
yesterday afternoon were set upon by the
strikers and, 9ster a severe beating, driven
OIL. Superintendent Frost declared that no
concessions will be made the strikers by the
company. The present action Of the road,
he said, was aiken on orders from the d.
rectors, and the board is pledged TO support
the stand taken to that end. Mr.. Frost says
the situation is very serious and is hourly
growing more threatening. He is convinced
that any attempt to run cars would resultin
blood hed and murder. The police force Is

AT special meeting yesterday the Com
mon Council adopted resolution that un-
less the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company

forfeit the company's charter. The situ-
alton Is serious. The men are determined,
though quiet and they have the secret SYM
pathy OF the police and of most Of the citi-
zens, owing TO the personal unpopularity Of
Deacon Richardson and the failure Of the
company TO consult the public interests.
The killing Of stableman Adams is being
investigated by the coroner. The officers OF
the company say they are certain that the
unfortunate man was thrown from the win
dow by strikers. Detective Powers made
an affidavit before the coroner yesterday
declaring that he had learned upon investi-

PARIS, Jan. 29.-At the Cabinet meeting
yesterday the method OF dealing with any
disorders resulting from Sundays election
was discussed. A majority Of the Cabinet
favor the dissolution of the Chamber and
holding general election 10 April, after
changing somewhat the electoral laws. A
number of deputies demand that General
Campenon be asked to form O Cabinet and
urge strong anti-Boulangist measures.
Many political leaders called upon President
Carnot yesterday, but the latter intends to
await events calmly. He will not resign his
Office. Premier Floquet is ready TO resign
or do anything that the Chamber may con-
slider advisable.
The bourse was not greatly affected by
the sensation of the hour. Republican
journals declare that General Boulanger's
election Is not sufficient TO discourage the
party, which must act more strongly against
the increasing power Of Caesarism. The
Monarchist papers declare the election
condemnation of the Republic and that it
presages its downfall. The Boulangist
organs say the government has received its
death blow.

OIL IN CONNECTICUT.
Great Excitement Over the Discovery
OIL Near Seuthbury.

Greut ExciJemont over tho DiBcOVery Ol
oil Near seuthbury.
WATERBURY,, Conn, Jan. 29-T'here Is
great excitement in this town over the dis
covory Of oil In the well which was started
in Southbury last summer. 1t is located
about ten miles from here on the New Eng
land road, and is near the site OF coal shaft
sunk fifty years ago in the front yard OF
Freeman b. Wheeler, at that time wealthy
capitalist with plantations in the South.
One night tho shaft took fire from miners
pipe and burned furiously after all apparent
fuel was exhausted and continued to burn
until the hole was filed up with dirt.
Nothing more was thought OF the matter
until ex-senator II. A. Matthews, who owns
farm near by, began to reflect on the gas
and oil discovered in the West Prospectors
were called and they said the soil gave un-
mistalSabe evidences Of subterranean mys-
teries worth investigating Mr.. Matthews.
Il. A. Pierpont and O. r. Baldwin banded to-
gether and hired an apparatus from Penn
sylvania. and drilling was begun. At a
depth OF one Thousand feet there was scum
on the surface OF the water and then came
the peculiar sand which is always found
with oil or gas deposits, but which may still
exist without either. A little deeper down
traces of gold ore were di covered.
None OF the projectors, however, werc
particularly sanguine, and all took in good
part the jibes that were loaded upon them.
But now there has been brought up from
the well sand, and liquid which, the ex-
perts say shows that oil has been reached
at last. The lengthof the rope in use would
net allow the drillers TO ascertain in what
quantities the oil exits, but new rope has
been ordered, and in few days the matter
will bs settled. The depth now is l,GOO feet,
and it is not usual to find oil even in the
regular fields short OF 1000 feet.
