A SUSPICIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
A Woman and Her Son Believed to Have
Been Murdered

Worcester, Mass, January 22.-The
Polish settlements of Webtser and East
Thomson are greatly disturbed over the
disappearance of one of their number,
the wife OF Jerry Stackewicz and her
seven-year old boy. The family consists

She lived on what is known as the Nor
rissey farm on lonesome, dreary, un-
freauented road, near the dividing lines
of Massachu setts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut Little is known of the
family, except by few Poles, and the
general opinion among them is that she
has been murdered. The woman is a
German Pole, and before her marriage
had one son. 1t is said her husband
ofuen expressed himself bitterly against
this boy, and on one or two occasions
the nei oh bors were called in to prevent
him assaulting his wife. Beyond the
disapppearance of the woman and boy,
there is no evidence of murder. A
week ago her husband made arrange
ments with neighbor to take ahis wife
to East Webster Mills. where she was GO
ing to work. She did not come, and no.
body has seen her. Her husband says
she took away her best clothes, and
insinuates to his countrymen that she
went off with another man, and denies
all knowledge of her whereabouts He
thinks he could find her. The authori-
ties are investigating.

Too Much for the Mob.

Too Much for the Mob.
Brooklyn, January 22.-AlI the forenoon
mob OF strikers congIegated at Fulton
street increasing in size. Its demeanor be-
came bold and it hooted at motormen and
jeered at the police and stoned the cars.
The tracks are piled with large beams. huge
stones. ash barrels, old stoves and numer-
GUS other distractions. These caused much
delay to the cars. and gave the strikers an
opportunity to plead with the non-union
men to desert their posts.
THE TROUBLE ELIMINATED
at ]. .35 D. M. when car came along. Near
Pate hen avenue it had TO stop owing to the
distractions. The strikers crowded about
the car and asked the conductor and motors
man to join them. They refused. The
strikers then jumped upon the platforms
a nd seized both men by the necks ana
threw them into the bowling mob. by whom
they were kicked and punched unmerclful-
ly. Then dozen strikers picked both men
ND bodily and ran down side street with
them. About dozen cars had in the mean
time come up and the police ON the plat
forms drew their sticks and fell upon the
crowd, They smashed right and lett gener-
ally and generally landed on the strikers
heads. The crowd replied with stones, ana
for a moment the fight was hot. The police
arrested two leaders of the mob and the
strikers tried to rescue their brethren. The
police drew their revolvers and drove the
mob back. The temper OF the strikers was
now thoroughly aroused and they stoned
the cars unoeasingly. 1t was FOUND lmpos-
sible for few policemen in the nelghbor-
hood to core with the strikers and rein
forcements were sent for. In few minutes
detachment of the Twelfth precinct
officers and portion of troop A came up.
At the sight of the galloping horses, on
whose backs sat fine looking body of men
with drawn sabres, the mob beat hasty
retreat, rushing into the nearby saloons
and ND the side streets and across the lots.
The cavalry immedialy formed picket line
and paraded up and down the sidewalks,
forcing the idlers to move rapidly along.
