SHERIFF'S AID
Necessary to Protect Brick
makers From Angry Strikers.

PoUaHKEEpsIE, May 16.-A strike OF
brick yard laborers is on in the yards
near Fishkill Landing and Dutchcss
Junction, affecting about 1900 men.
Since the men employed in
the yards about kingston went on a
strike for higher wages several days ago,
sgitators have been going up and down
the river exciting men in other yards to
follow their example.
This morning about three hundred
men employed IN the seven yards
in the neighborhood OF Low
Point struck and compelled the Others
employed i'm the same yard 10 quit with
them. The two hundred men in Brock
ways yard were allowed TO remain at
work as the owners made them promise
Of an increase in wages.
Then the strikers formed an angry mob
and armed with clu bs and stones, marched
down the Central Hudson Railroad track
TO Dutchess Junction, distance OF five
miles, stopping at all OF the six or seven
yards on the way and forcing all the men
TO stop work.
The mob, which is composed OF
Arabs aud Hungarians, led by several
Irishmen, attacked the foreman at Timo-
ny's yard, and he was forced TO run into
the woods TO escape their blows. The yard
owners have called on Sheriff Bartlett for
protection. The sheriff Will swear I'm n
force of deputies TO protect the property.

Big Coal Wharves in Paw
tucket Destroyed.
Flames Jumped Across the River
Carrying Destruction With Them.

Special 10 tpe Nflcs.
PAwTucKicT, May 16.--Firc started in
one OF the sheds OF the Newell Coal and
Lumber Company at 2:30 o'clock this
afternoon and in less than an hour two
coal yards, number of barges and three
other buildings were in flames.
AS soon as the blaze was detected an
alarm was sounded, but before the
fire department could respond
the fire had extended to the Office and then
back into the yard, SO that the big
space that was completely filed with coal
and wood was one mass OF flames.
From the Newell Coal Yard the fire ex-
tended across the river. Two barges
that were at the wharf were
burned to the waters edge
and the fire found firm foot-hold
in the yard of the City Coal Company, on
the other side of the river.
The fremen worked hard but in spite
OF their efforts sparks from the
fire caught in three Of the neighbor-
ing buildings but the department will
keep the fire from spreading.
The blaze was practically under control
at 80 O'Clock and it was believed
that the business blocks will be saved, but
the damage to the coal yard will be fully
100000.
The wind freshening the fire
again got away from the firernen and
took afresh hold.
Two coal schoonors caught and will be
total losses.
The j. ID. Cottrell yard and the Olney IL
Payne Brothers yard are now on fire.
The flames have spread to the Gas
Works which will be destroyed and the
Electric Light Works also.
1t is impossible to estimate the damage
which will far exceed the first estimate.
Assistance has been asked from
Central Falls and Providence and the
Central Falls department. is already on
the ground.
There are 5000 tons OF coal In the Newell
Coal & Lumber Company's yard alone,
which Is now burning.

THE SCENES TODAY.
Only One Fatality known to Have Re-
suited-The Territory Wiped Out.


Boston, May 16.--A stretch of smoking,
blsckened ruins covering more than a
dozen acres was the picture at the scene
of last nights fire at the South End re-
vealed when the sun rose this morning.
A few steamers were still at work and
scores OF firemen were exploring the
burned buildings. Household furniture
and property of every description
Uttered the streets and hundreds
OF those made homeless by the confiagra-
tior were vainIy searching the ruins of
their houses in the hope of finding some
thing OF value remaining.
Madison Park just south of Cabot
street was completely covered with furni-
ture and household goods piled i'm con-
fused mass several feet i'm heig hit. Scores OF
policemen patrolled the burned district
and thousands of sight-seers thronged
outside the ropes.
A careful investigation this morn
ing shows that about IL acres OF ground
were burned over and about half a mil
lion dollars worth OF property DESTROYED.
About 137 buildings, over two
thirds ofwhich were wooden structures
have been wholly destroyed and 22 more
were partially burned.
More than 75 per cent. Of the burned
buildings are dwelling houses which were
occupied by the poorer classes, and 200
families or more tnan one thousand peo-
pie are homless.
The Boston Baseball Association and
the city of Boston are the heaviest finan-
cial losers. The property of the former
was valued at 10000 and is total loss.
The city's loss is over 100000.
But one fatality has been reported. A
three -months-old baby was suffocated on
Berlin street. About IL persons were
injured but none seriously. The most
common injury was To the eyes and
nearly all OF the Are chiefs have been
| forced to seek medical treatment today,
because OF trouble with the eyes caused
by the smoke and intense heat.
Nearly dozen invalids residing in
houses now in ruins were conveyed to the
hospitals as the fire spread, but none were
| injured or seriously affected by the trans
! fer.
The limits OF the burned district are

MAN BURNED TO DEATH


PAwTUcKET, May 16.-The most dlsas-
trous fire that has visited this city for
years occurred about 2:30 O'clock, this
afternoon, and the extensive coal and
lumber yards OF the George f.. Newell
Company, City Coal Company and
John S. Cotterell Company are in ashes.
Four tenement houses were also destroyed

along the river front on both sides of
the stream, enveloping one schooner and
two barges which were burned to
the waters edge. The loss to the various
coal companies will aggregate $500, 1000,
fully covered by insurance.
Walter Perry, an employ OF Olney &
Payne Brothers, was pinned in by the
flames and fatally burned.

Iyzed at 4:10 o'clock owing to the burn
ing of the power house.
