FIRST SHOT FIRED.
Hostilities Began in Shiny
Park Yesterday Between
the Ladies Husbands
Interfere.

The first shot in the anticipated war
between the United States and England
has been fired, and the result is h a
one man lies in the City Hospital in a
critical condition, and another carries a
bullet in the palm Of his right hand,
while the man who did the shooting is
locked up in the Oakland avenue police
station.
The seat of war was Skinny Park"
and the fight was caused by two women,
one a daughter of England, the other
a daughter of Ireland, settling the powers
of their respective husbands.
The English woman was Mrs. Lena
Hussey, wife of Thomas Hussey, the
man who fred the shot. The other was
Mrs. Dalton, wife of John Dalton .and
mother of George Dalton. who became
the billet for Hussey's bullet. The Hus-
seys live at No. IA Van Wrinkle street
and the Daltons at No. 16.
Early yesterday afternoon the mem
bers of both families began to rush the
growler. BY and by the women began to
quarrel, which terminated i'm their pull
ing each others hair. Mrs. Dalton, who
is much older than Mrs. Hussey, was
getting decidedly the worst of the ARRAY
when her husband came to her rescue
and pulled the Hussey woman away.
Dalton is 70 years old. and is a peace
full old Irishman. He succeeded in paci-
flying the two women. and the affair
was all over, when Thomas Hussey, who
is only 80 years old put in an appear-
ance and renewed the quarrel. Old Dali
ton again interfered and tried to make
peace, when Hussey drew a revolver and
shot him in the shoulder.
Young Dalton, when he heard the shot
a nd a hic fotharfS cry for hahn ran OIt
of the house and encountered Hussey.
He attempted to take the revolver away
from him, but for his interference was
shot in the hand.
Police Sergeant Bernard Wade heard
the reports of the pistol from the Boule-
ward and hurried to the place. When
he arrived there everything was in a
turmoil, and a crowd which had gathered
in front of the Hussey mansion was cry
ing for that gentlemanss scalp. Wade
entered the house n caught Hussey
in the act of corcealing the revolver
between the mattresses of the bed. He
placed the man under arrest and locked
him up in the Oakland avenue station.
Before the Sergeant at the desk Hussey
refused to make any statement. Later
in the evening Mrs. Lena Hussey, his
wife, was also arrested. Both prisoners
were held by Justice Douglass for a
further examination tomorrow morning.
The Daltons also refuse to say any
thing at present.

Riots ON Girard Avenue. philadelphia
M Gafn fro IN f.ar Strike.

NO OHlA ITOHk tsar SsTbEfs
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26, 1895.-The
motormen and conductors of the Girard
avenue division of the Union Traction
Company, swho protested yesterday
against the continued employment of non
union men, and, as an outcome of which,
several riotous disturbances occurred,
decided at a meeting held early this
morning to remain at work. Late last
night about one hundred of the Girard
avenue division employees, who were re-
Gently on strike, presented a series of
grievances to General Manager Beetem.
The spokesman for the dissatisfied men
declared it to be the general belief OF
the employees that they had been deceived
by the promises made, which had led them
to declare the strike off.
They had been informed that the terms
of the settlement included 81 per day of
ten hours, but discovered that they had
reaped no benefit by striking. Ihey
wanted to know just what the position
of the company was, and what they had
to expect for the future.
Mr. Beetem, in reply, talked to the men
for fully half an hour. He explained the
scope of the agreement under which the
strike was called off, and urged the men
to act c~onservatiyely, as matters Woula
ditfon. He said that but a few of the
men brought from other cities were st1ll
here, and. that another party Woulu pe
sent to their homes today. The com,
paay, he declared, proposed to DO All
that they found possible to better the
condition of their employees, and would
if feasible go further than was agreed
to in the plan of settlement. The men
brought here had to be taken care of SO
long as they remained, but they, were
rapidly being sifted out, and all The ols
men would in the near future be given
their old places. Mr.. Beetem talked very
plainly and the men seemed impressed
by what he said, burt when he concludes
eide upon what steps they will take.
The men, after a discussion, decided
to remain at work and await develop.

the probabilities of the near future is
attracting some attention in financial
circles here. Color has been given to

The uniting of the Baltimore and

the greatest magnitude in contemporary
