FIRED ON STRIKERS,
Militia in Brooklyn Have Had Their First
Fatal Encounter.

Fatal Encounter.
Brooklyn, Jan. 22.-The first fatal en-
counter of the great strike took place at
II O'Clock, when in an encounter with a
few boys al Halsey street station vol
ley was fired by the militia. Henry
Ahern of New York was fatally shot, a
musket ball entering his mouth and
passing through his head, Another man
named Williams was wounded in the
arm. The shooting had the instant eff
feet Of dispensing the mob.
The ninth day of the tie-up has closed
without bringing material change in
the situation. There We're few brushes
between the police and militia on one
side and the strikers or headstrong,
laW-defying citizens sympathiZing with
their cause on the other. The develop
1nents Of the day have not been reassur-
ing as a whole. In spite of the fact
that there are under arms 5000 soldiers
and 1,500 policemen on duty the natural
traffic is suffering. The loss is great,
and altogether the conditions are such
as may excite grayest apprehension.
Adjutant General McAlpin, the military
and personal representative of Cover

Schieren Police Commissioner Wells
and Corpora ton Counsel Mcdonald of
fered to call out the Third brigade of the
New York National Guard to effect res
toration of order. He was assured by
the mayor that at present there is no
occasion for calling out more troops.
Master Workman Connolly says he
ordered out the linemen because this ac-
tion has been necessitated by the action
of the soldiers this afternoon when a
company of the Seventh regiment sur
rounded the hall at the corner of Myr-
tie avenue and Palmetto street. A squad
entered the hall and seized the books
and papers of the local assembly
which has it's headquarters there.

National Dairy Congress.

! The second annual meeting of the Ma
tional Dairy Congress will be held in the
/ building of the department of agriculture
/ in Washington, ID. c., Feb. 20 and 81
Opening session at 10 O'Clock A. NJ. Hon.
J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agricul-
ture will deliver an address of welcome
An Interesting programme on practical
dairy topics by men of national reputation
has been arranged.
The National Dairy Congress was or
gained at a meeting held at Cleveland,
Ohio, Feb.7, 1894, for the purpose of COM
bining in national organization all state
associations and dairy workers through
out the United States in n united and
more efficient effort to advance the inter
ests of the dairy industry throughout the
whole country
Article 8, of the constitution, provides
that 'That National Dairy Congress shall
be composed of two delegates from each
state dairy association aud one delegate
from each experiment station that con
ducts dairy experimental work, provided,
that in those states where no state dairy
associations exist, the governor may APP
point two delegates who shall be practical
dairymen.
Thus the congress combines the efforts
of the scientific with the practical. An
enthusiastic meeting that will result in
great benefit to the dairy industry is con
tdently anticipated.

''Hoss and Hoss. -

The popular farce comedy ''Hoss and
Hoss, will be presented at the Opera
house this evening. The Portland Argus
has the following complimentary notice
on its appearance in that city Monday
evening:
1.-THE popular farce comedy "Hoss and
Hoss" was presented at Portland theatre
last evening toa well filed house by
Manager c. \. Bertram's company of
comedians The organization is Il good
one in acting, singing and dancing, and
the fun with which the piece is crowded
from beginning to end kept the audience
in the best of good humor. The judge,
the lawyer, Birdie" the fly youth, and
the German sheriff were all in the hands
of clever actors, in the persons of Jacques
Kruger, Charles L. Aldrich, Thomas Evans
and Harry Crandall respectively. Mr..
Crandall is one of the best German dialect
comedians in the profession. and he
naturally makes good deal out of his
role in this instance. His announcement
of the specialties in the second act was
amusing and his own feature-a speech
and song-was one of the hits of the
evening Miss Carrie Sweeney, in the
dual role of Maggie and Nellie Fly af-
fordcd much pleasure. She is a charming
soubrette, singing sweetly and acting with
much spirit. Her darkey baby song was
a gem that had to be repeated The
specialties by Messrs. Aldrich and Evans
were very clover and We're heartily en-
corcd -

We have been compelled to record the re-
moval of Mr. Frank P. Clay, recently
deceased, at his home on Maple street in
this city. Mr.. Clay was born Il years ago,
at Bluehll, Me. Nine years ago he
married Miss Mabel V Merrill of this city,
who with glad devotion has been solace
to the last hard years of his life After
marriage Mr.. Clay's home was in Au-
gusta During the first six years of his
residence here he was engaged as a granite
engraver, but for nearly three years past
he had been i'll with consumption. Dur
ing this long illness, although his ambi-
lions had to be laid aside, for he had
never work again, and had only to endure
the wasting and distress Of his disease
and the sure approach of dissolution, his
only release, still he maintained, without
one single interruption, a uniformly cheer
full temper His sturdy strength of self
mastery, courage and consideration for
others are testified to by those who have
been with him most constantly; and the
influence of his earnest Christian life was
felt by others, who saw him only now and
then He illustrated that verse of Scrip
urc which says: "Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace whose mind is staid on Thee,
because he trusteth in Thee He was
among those Who after ceasing to ''do
works, can still be salt The words
of the business men of Augusta who knew
him give hearty expression to the respect
and esteem with which he was regarded
