The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1895-01-23

took place about II O'Clock tonight,
when in an encounter with "a few boys
at the Halsey street station of the
Brooklyn City railroad company, d
volley was fired by the militia. Henry
Ahen. of New York city was fatally
shot, a musket bali entering dlis mouth
and passing through his head. Another
man whose name is Williams. was
wounded in the arm.
The shooting had the instant effect OF
dispensing the mob. The ninth day of
Slhe tie-up has closed without bringing
material change in the situation. 1t
! has been day Of alarming rumors
/ which, fortunately, had slight or no
y soundation. There were between day
break and nightfa1l numerous brushes
between the police and militia on one
side and the strikers or headstrong,
1aw-defying citizens in sympathy with
their cause on the other.
The hnemenis strike, which was to
have tied UP the trolley lines more
effectually than had been done by the
strike of IIoGoTmen, conductors and
other employees, was called off before
st was fairly ON, but later in the day,
the mandate of Master Workman Cons
nelly was promulgated, calling upon
the linenen to abandon their situations
tomorrow morning. The effect OF this
move. which the strikers have COM
pared to the playing of a high trump
card, remains 10 lbe demonstrated.
Nor ReaSxuri7p
The developments of the day have
not been reassurfng as a whole. In
spite of the fact that there are under
arms in the city, 5000 state soldiers,
1000 policemen are on duty, intramur-
al traffic is suffering a virtual
paralysis In which all the in
dusTies Of the city participate
70 a greater or lesser degree; laWless-
ness is rampant and altogether condl-
lions are such as may excite the gray
est apprehension. Disorderiy elements
IN the city have been largely recruited
from New York and other cities and
has, as usual in such cases, arrayed
&ssf with the strikers, a selfish ad-
ss1-ocacy OF whose cause affords a pre-
ee<eNt for the preparation of graYer
crimes than have yet marked the pro-
EresS Of the pending contest.
AdJutant General McAlpin, the mill
tary and personal representative Of
Governor Morton. at a. conference with
Mayor Schieren, Police Commissioner
Welles and Corporation Counsel Nc
Donald, offered to call ouD the third
brigade n. Y. n. G. to effect the restora-
ton Of order. He was assured by the
mayor that at present there is no oc-
casion for calling out more troops.
q Master Workman Connolly SAYS he
ordered out the linemen because this
action has been necessitateG by the ac-
ton Of the soldiers at o'clock this
afternoon, when a. company of the SeY-
enth regiment surrounded the hall at
Gae corner OF Myrtle avenue and Pal
metto street. A squad entered the hall,
and seized the books and papers of the
Vocal assembly, which has its headquar-
tiers there.
Mr.. Comedy reports the troops have
been Withdrawn and police put in
charge of the hall. Mr.. Connolly thinks
the men in charge of the assembly hall
have been arrested by the police.
Rumors ut Ridgcwood.
There were many runlors flying about
Ridgewo0d ali day, but no really excit-
ing incidents until about 8 o'clock this
afternoon, when cars were started
on the Gates avenue line. Two shots
were fired, one by policeman and one
by q national guardsman to enforce the
order issued by the police authorities
to keep every window closed along the
line of the road. But one missile was
thrown al the first car, a piece OF fire
Brick, from the inside of a store, which
). smashed a window but did not injure
any of the occupants of the car.
With the exception OF the pickets.
the militia were drafted into the depot
and quiet was restored, a mass meeting
at the Labor lyceum in Willoughby
l7,.1xr all
strikers from the neighborhood occupied
by the police and the militia.
The work of The linemen was finished
az 3 O'Clock in the afternoon. The con-
struction wagon, Labeled on both sides
*. Of L. reached the RidgeWood
depot few moments after, so at $40
.. m. assembly was sounded and the
1aent. B. D and G, under command of
Major Abraharas, marched out and oc-
cupied all the streets branching out
from the junction OF Myiet avenue
and Palmetto streets. As the first conf
paIly marched ont, a truck, laden with
new nleE, accompanied by four officers,
dashed up and as it was unladen the
driver. was taken into custody for caus-
Ing a fatal accident on Gates avenue
near Bushwick avenue. To avoid any
possible attack he had driven at a
furious pace, and oyertal1ing a light
wagon dashed INFO it, throwing the
occupant out into the street and frac-
turing his skull The injured man was
taken TO st. Johns hospital and the
dryer of the truck to the Evergreen
avenue police station.
1t Was Startling.
