sLAsHED WITH A RAZOR.
A Young Mans Cheek Cut Through in q
Row About a Cock Fight.

A Young Mans Cheek Cut Through in q
Row About a Cock Fight.
James Mullet. young man aged 10 years,
who lives at the corner of Pride and Bluff
streets, was dangerously cut in the face by
Michael McCluskey with a razor, over a
chicken fight. 1t appears that number Of
young men in the vicinity of the Fifth ave-
nue. market house gathered yesterday after
noon, and the majority came to the conclu-
sion that chicken fight would be the right
thing to kill time. In a very short time
several game cocks were on the ground,
and they fought in the market house. After
having two battles decided the crowd got
out on Fifth avenue, and dispute arose
between William McClain and Mike Nc
Clusky about one Of the cocks not having
fair play. One word brought on another,
when McClusky, who was much the larger
of the two, threatened to slug him. At
this moment Mullett spoke up, and told
McCluskey he had better take one of his
size The words had hardly left Mullet's
mouth when McCluskey pulled razor from
his hip pocket. and slashed Mullett across
the right cheek, cutting cash about three
inches long and clean into his mouth, ex-
posing his tongue. He was Immediately
taken to doctors office, where the doctor
placed nine stitches in the cash and had him
removed to his home in carriage.
Officer Ludwig was notified and arrested
McCluskey at his home, in Our alley, with
game cock in his arms. He was locked
up with the rooster in the Eleventh ward
station. William McClalr was also ar
rested and locked up on charge OF disor-
derly conduct A number of arrests will
be made to-day of persons who were in the
crowd.

the question of strike benefits. They have
been assessed 80 cents month for dues in
support of the order, ana of this cents has
been allocated to a protective fund. What,
il is stated, the men are most wroth about is
the fact that thev have to furnish the sinews
of war to support their craftsmen in other
towns while they themselves are
money ard are refused aid from
Philadelphia on the grounds that their ac-
tion in striking is unconstitutional. Very
general dissatisfaction is expressed with the
proceedings OF the council, and reprisals are
threatened when the annual election in
July comes around.
weIl-known carpenter who would not
hermit his name to be used said last night,
when reference was made to the publication
in the Carpenter, that 1t would have no
effect on the strike:
The whole thing in a nutshell, he said,
''is this The action of the District Coun-
Gil was approved by the old Executive
Board, which went out of office in January,
and the new board thought to get back at
the old by giving a contrary opinion. l
can tell YOU that we have been promised
plenty of aid from headquarters and from
the Federation of Labor as well. Ii we
never get help from the outside the strike
will go on Just the same.
The Builders Still Standing Out.
Very little more than has already been
published transpired yesterday. Several car
penter contractors were reported to have
conceded the new rules. None of them are
members of the Builders Exchange. AT
this place yesterday afternoon it was stated
that the number of men employed by the
contractors who had given in was much ex-
aCCerated. So far the members OF the
Builders Exchange are solid. 1t was re-
ported last night that more men would be at
work for carpenter contractors tomorrow.
Tomorrow will, it is expected, bring about
some definite results one way or another.
1t was generally reported on the Southside
Yesterday that Martin Frank had Welded to
ihe demands, but he stated last night that
the report was entirely unfouuded, and that
he had no more intention of breaking away
now than at any previous time in the con-
trnversv.
z. J. Mcclure, Secretary OF the United
brotherhood, was asked by THE DISPATCH
Philadelphia correspondent last night ii
the PIttshurg strike had the sanction of the
General Executive Board. He replied that
il had, and that he did not obey the boards
instruction to go to Pittsburg because his
wife was seriously i'll, and because he was
waiting for further summons. He will
start, if possible, to-day.

Judging from the crowd of buyers at

the past week one would fancy that in the
labor world all was serene. When the firm
was interviewed as to how they accounted
for such an extraordinary rush when so
many stores look desolated on account Of
the strike, the only explanation they had
customers will drop in most any store, but
when they are obliged to economlze then
they look around, and we must offer the
best values as you see we have the crowd.
