A Denver Brickmaker Shoots
His Late Employees.
he INTENDED TO KILL THEM.
A New York Lumber Dealer Having
Boon Boycotted, His Associates Re-
taliate on All Union Buildings.

DENVER, May ia desperate fight took
place in the city park today between F. n.
and Ed Gavis, white, and i've colored en-
ployes on one side, and fifty or more
strikers on the other. Two men were
fatally shot and twelve wounded more or
less seriously. The fight was an out
growth of the brickmakers' strike
at Gavis' yard. This morning Gavis
and son with eight negroes and
loaded guns started for the Yards with
the avowed intention of beginning work
or dying in the attempt. As they were
nearing the yards a party Of strikers.
headed by Frank Surber, appeared and
asked that they be allowed to talk to the
men who were going to work. Gavis re-
piled that the men did not want to talk,
and ordered the strikers to allow his men
to pass. This the strikers would not do,
and Gavis and his son and five of the men
opened fire on the strikers. Thomas
Kelly was fatally wounded and died two
hours later. The man most seriously
injured is John Riedenour The shooters
were Jailed. F. N. Gavis said: $
Ishot to kill, and don't deny it When told
"Boys, every man grab gum" They rushed
on Us, throwing stones and shouting. told my
men to fire, and to shoot to kill.
The strikers deny that they acted on the
aggressive. The men about the park say
that in addition to the men shot, two little
boys we're hit by stray bullets, but neither
fatally hurt.
New York, May 1.-THE lumber trade
association has begun lockout and boy
colt which its members assert will cause q
total suspension of building operations in
this city before long. This action of the
association is to force the walking dele
gates to raise the boycott on one of the
members of the association. To accom-
plish this they intend to stop the delivery
of lumber where union men are employed.
Not one foot of lumber was delivered
today. Thirty-five hundred men are out,
Of whom rs per cent. belong to labor
unions. There are now eighty firms in
the lumber dealers association, and others
are joining it all the time. There is some
lumber on hand, enough to last few days,
but when that is exhausted building must
stop for want of lumber, because the
dealers VOW they will not deliver one
foot until they win the fight. Much money
hangs on the result. If the fight is pro-
longed millions may be lost. Dealers say
the issue is whether the labor unions or
the lumber dealers shall manage the busi-
ness of the latter. This lockout viii affect
all the trades, and will involve about u.s.
600 men.
ST. LOUIS, May 1.-THE Brotherhood of
Painters has decided to make the strike
general, and about LOCO men went out this
morning.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN ON THE STAGE.

Methods Of tho Great Actor who Plays
In Seattle January II and ~. 1892.
St Louis Post Dispatch.
John L. Sullivan is undoubtedly one Of
the most entertaining actors on the con-
temporary stage.
His methods are unique. He can violate
all the canons of art in one scene and yet
make hit on every violation.
Most actors think it necessary to shade
their work and vary the meditation and
tone of their voices according to the moods
and emotions they wish to express. Sulli-
van never shades his work or varies the
tone of his voice, which is cross between
the growl of q mastif and the toot of .
bass horn. He speaks the pathetic lines
.spoor mother, this will kill her, y in exactly
the same tone in which he says to the vii
lain, ..by Heavens, 1 will choke you"
Facial expression is another element
ing. hut not in the case of Sullivan. He
uses one face through the play, and never
changes it under any circumstances. It is
an intensely solemn face, expressing an
undying determination to do credit to
John L. Sullivan or die in the attempt.
Comedy is just as serious matter to
him as tragedy, and both in his hands are
equally funny to the audience. The only
variation Sullivan admits in his acting is
that Of pose. He is poseur, and when he
thunders out pathetic speech and then
drops his eyes to indicate that his soul is
troubled, the effect Is tremendous. He is
the ideal melo-dramatic actor, to whom
comedy, pathos, tragedy and farces are all
the same thing.
Unconscious burlesque is the most de-
licious kind, and John L. is an uncon-
scious burlesauer of the highest type.
His huge frame and brawny limbs, COM
bined with his nimble and cat-like move
ments make him picture on the stage,
and taken with his reputation as fighter
it is little wonder perhaps that curiosity
should draw people to the theater.

opening Of the New Hotel - Lewis
County Finances.
CHEHAL1s. May 11.-[Special.] THE final
arrangements for the opening of the Hotel
st. Helens Tuesday night are very elabor-
ate. The house has been furnished with
excellent taste from top to bottom, no
money being spared to make it the finest
on the road. The old opera house has
been decorated, and row of lamps twenty
feet apart have been set from the hotel to
the opera house, a distance of two blocks.
The guests will assemble at the
hotel, where the Brunswig band will
be stationed, and after inspecting
the hotel will proceed to the hall.
At II O'Clock precisely, all dancing will
cease and the guests will march to the hall
to partakc Of . magnificent collation., after
which dancing will be kept up until morn
ing. Over 1000 invitations have been sent
out to all parts Of the state, and large
number of people from outside towns have
signified their intention OF being present.
The card of invitation is pretty folder
with an imitation seal on white ribbon in
the corner bearing the word invitation.
It was thought at first that the retirement
of Manager Leland at this time would de-
lay the opening, but the st. Helens Hotel
Company were determined to carry out
the programme as arranged, and have adj
ded new features that will make the open
ing ball and banquet one of the pleasantest
social events in the history of Chehalis.
The county commissioners are in session,
but have been occupied principally on
bills and incidental work. So far Hoff-
man Il Bates, of Portland, have been
awarded the contract to build bridge
near Centralia. Auditor Ashmire's yearly
statement shows the county indebtedness
to be as follows:

Of this sum the state owes about 50, 200

several hundred dollars on state cases, also
warrants have been issued for several
thousand dollars on the survey and open
ing of roads and bitches which will come
back to the county later on, so that the
total indebtedness Of the county will not
exceed about $70,0 to $4,000.
The machinery for the city electric
lights has been shipped and is on the
way here.
Hon. Charles II. Lugrin, late secretary of
agriculture for New Brunswick and editor
of the Fredericton, NIB, Herald, is, with
his wife, a guest of his brother-in-law,

locate here and engage in his profession Of
law.
The local train has been taken off the
