Bob Ealey, began firing at Williams and
others.
London Gayle shot through the window
and killed boy named Eli Waddy, when
another boy, Isaac Scott, remarked:
"London Gayle has killed Eli Waddy,"
whereupon London turned and say
ing, "What is that to you" shot the boy,
killing him instantly. Then perfect
fusilade followed from guns and pistols
A woman was shot through the breast
and is now dead. London Gayle was shot
through the body and will die. A girl was
shot in the face near the eye, and another
was hit in the middle of the head, the ball
glancing and lodging next to the skin
back of the head. One boy was shot
through the arm and another through the
right hand, and others have received vari
GUS slight wounds.

his awful vengeance Three are dead and
a fourth fatally wounded, two seriously,

FROZEN AND STARVING.
Awful Predicament OF a Man Found In the
Cellar OF a Barn.


NEW YORK. Jan. Elm the cold and foul
smelling cellar of an unused and dilap-
idated barn in the rear of 635 West Fifty
second street a starving man was found
last evening by two young men named
Treadwell and Weber. The man was
lying on his back on a heap of ru bbish and
old wheels.
His face bore signs of suffering, and he
was so weak he could hardly lift his arm.
When he saw he was discovered he raised
his head from wheel on which it rested
and moaned, "Waterl Water Give me
water"
1t was found that his feet were frozen
az well rs part of his legs, since where he
lay cold water trickled from the roof
above him in a small but steady stream.
He was removed from the cellar to the
next house. After a cup of hot coffee,
which he could scarcely swallow, and q
piece of bread, soaked in milk, he recov-
cred sufficiently to say that he was Charles
Hendricksor. a sailor, and that he had
entered the cellar IL days ago, having
been chased there by whom he did not
know.
"Such water az l have obtained" he
said, twas that which leaked through
the roof" Why he stayed there he could
not say. To-day" he said, sis my 42nd
birthday, but by 8 o'clock tonight l ex-
pect to be dead"
After that he lapsed into silence and to
all questions he just shook his head. No
money was found in his pockets, but from
papers on his person it was found that he
was discharged on Dec. l3 from the ship
j. H. Macy Of Maine.
Hendrickson was taken to Bellevue
hospital, where his condition is critical.

HAWAIIAN AFFAIR.
EX-MiniSter Stevens Handles
the Question.
Banquet of the Garfield Club Held Last
Night.

The Garfield Club held banquet last
evening. Covers were laid at the Alcazar
for 200. Mayor Henry l. Tiepke presto ded

iug eX-Mini-ter stevens and ex-Congress-

prominent in public life.
After the banquet Mayor Tiepke intro
Huccd Hon. John l.. Stevens. The ex-
minister gave an exhaustive review Of the
resources and population Of the Hawaiian
Islands aud their commercial Importance
20 the United States. Treating of the
present aspect Of Hawaiian affairs he de-
clared that monarchial restoration of the
return of Queen Liliuokalani To the
throne by any outside force, or intimida-
tiun 10y any diplomatic pressure or
chicanery would be u public crime by
whomsoever perpotrated. II would make
OF Hawaii second Singapore or Hong
Kong. All very well for British colony,
but never adapted TO American institu-
tions nor intended for an American form

Pardon such men as Chief Justice Judd
and Attorney General Hatch, "a son Of
New Hampshire and the superior legally
and in every other respect Of Secretary
Gresham; pardon such representative men
whose private aud official character at no
period in their past lives ever had blot
npon them. With sorrow and shame we
look upon this sad picture To which we
have been brought by the present admin
istration.
When Cleveland's emissary reached the
islands last March there was no part of
the United States more peaceful, for the
monarchy was dead, and official corrup-
tion had been put an end 10. This same
emissary bore letters Of credence to repre-
sentative Americans, whom he subse-
quently stabbed in the back. On the
secret testimony Of enemies the respect
able members OF the provisional govern
ment were condemned as criminals, and
lusulted with the promise that when the
grossly immoral Queen Liliuokalani was
restored to the throne she would pardon
phem.
In the name then of our common an
pestry, I'm the name Of freedom loving
races in behalf of all who love justice and
fair play. in behalf of Christian oiviliza-
tion i'm the United States, let US do our
duty in endenyoring To put u stop TO this
extraordinary usurpation Of power and
stamp out this outrage inflicted upon our
patriotic, devoted aud imperilled fellow
couutrymen Of the North Pacific.

Special 10 the Tribune.
Boston, Jan. 2-Fire broke out with a
roar and a whoop in the Globe Theater
shortly after o'clock this morning. In
half an hour the whole square bounded
by Washington street, Hayward place,
Harrison avenue extension and Essex
street was threatened with destruction by
one of the fiercest conhagrations that has
come upon Boston since the fire in the
Iame district four years ago.
The fire bells rung out the alarm at l:l7
o'clock. First arrivals on the scene were
Informed that just before the first alarm
was sounded the night watchman on duty
at the theater had rushed out of the main
entrance on Washington street crying
'Firel' He was followed by a cloud of
dense black smoke, which completely
filled the street in front of the playhouse.
In a moment the long foyer leading
into the auditorium was a mass of flames,
and inside of three minutes the interior
was going up in smoke as If 1t was made
Of paper.
The fire is supposed by some to have
originated under the stairs of the main
entrance, from which fierce draft

udlu part Ol lnt sJTuClurs.
-Four Alarms.
So quickly did the fire travel that at
l:25 second alarm was ordered. A third
followed AT 1870. At l35 a. m. the flames
burst through the roof of the playhouse
with a crack and roar that was heard
for blocks around.
At lao the peals of the fourth alarm,
dreaded by every fireman, rang out, and
every available piece of apparatus within
reasonable reach was either at the scene
Of the devouring work of the flames or on
It's way thither.
The sight as the flames burst through
the roof was grand one. The light was
visible for miles.
At l:50 the surging mass of people that
surrounded the blazing masses on the
four streets were startled by tremendous
explosion, which fairly shook the ground
beneath their feet. The crowd broke, and
everybody ran for "A place of safety.
More Explosions.
Between this time and 2:13 a. m. there
were five more explosions i'm which the
same scenes were repeated. These ex-
plosions were caused, it was stated, by the
presence of gas tanks stored in various
portions of the building, and used for
calcium light effects.
At o'clock the entire center Of the
playhouse had been fairly burned out
The flames were still burning in the two
top stories of the Washington street front
In the Harrison avenue extension of the
theater the flames were still burning
fiercely.
On Hayward place, engulfing billows Of
smoke and flame belched out. The ground
floor had been entirely burned out and

TO ACT IN UNISON.
Big Railroad Companies to Reduce Salaries Of
EMPLOYEES.


CHICAGO, Jan 2-ln view of the bust
ness outlook, there is growing feeling
among railroad managers in the west
that further retrenchment, as an offset TO
shrinking receipts, is necessary. Refer
ring to the question Of expenses the gen
eral manager of one of the most success
full lines said: I'VE have been steadily
reducing expenses for months, but dimin-
ishing business demands still more heroic
treatment than has yet been applied.
The reform, however, can best be accom-
plished by concert of action among all
the leading roads aud the question will
soon be brought before the General Mana
gers association for action
When asked if general reduction in
the wages of the employrs was contem-
plated, he said that move in that direc-
tion was necessary among the Others, and
that il would doubtless be made; but in
order to insure success with as little fric-
tion as possible all the lines must act as n
unit. Other managers express equally
positive sentiments. Yet it is evident
from the drift of their conversation that,
while they appreciate the fact that they
are paying more for services than the
earnings of their roads justify, they are
reluctant to make the reductions that
justice TO the owners of the roads de
mands.
Ii is evident, however, that the move
must soon be- made, as retrenchments have
already been instituted in other directions
to an extent that they cannot be pushed
further. 1t is also useless to think Of re-
lief from advanced rates, as shippers
would at once appeal to the state and
national commissioners, who administer
the laws for the regulation of railway
