Big TailOrS' Strike Began
in New York Today.
Brotherhood Stole a March OH
the Manufacturers.
Over 10000 Workers Ordered Out
and Many Have Obeyed.

NEW YoRR, July 22.-Tweive thous-
and coat tailors were ordered on the
strike this morning, to enforce higher
prices from the wholesale manufacturers
and to stop a renewal of the task ana
piecework system. The large wholesale
manufacturers were taken by surprise,
as it had been given out that a strike
had been deemed inadvsatle by the
leaders.
A committee of 10 of the brotherhood
of Tallors, in accordance with early in
structions, stole a march on the manu-
facturers by visiting all the contract ors
shops, $50 In number In this city and $50
in Brooklyn and Brownsville, and notify
ing the workers to quit forthwith and
report TO their headquarters.
Up to noon there were 1000 taiiors out
in this city, and 1000 more of the total
of 5000 were expected to quit work be-
fore the close of the work day. The 1000
tailors in Brooklyn and Brownsville were
expected 10 join in the strike, as they
had decided several dsys ago.

Motive for Murders on
Barkentine Fuller.
Belief That the Mate and
Others Had So Planned.
Theories About the Recent Triple
Tragedy on the High Seas.

HALIFAX, July 22-The crowds that
have surrounded the police station here
since yesterday, when the crew OF the
murder-freighted Herbert Fuller were
taken into custody were TO be seen there
again early this morning and during the
forenoon, the excitement prevalent yes
terday showed no signs OF lesseniDg.
Theie seems to be growing belief that
others beside the mate, who 10 the one
chiefly suspected of being the m urderer,
must De implicated in the affair, and
from incide ents that have come t. light
since yesterday the possibility that
well-matured plan TO seize the vessel, and
sell II TO the Cubans, had been completed
before she sailed from Boston, seems
well founded. 1t has been learned that
Monks, the passenger on board the Her
bert Fuller, received q direct intimation
thar he had better not make his proposed
trip on that vessel, but whether or not
the warning came from the mate. as is
reported, or from some other member OF
the crew, is not positively known.
There are many, on the other hand,
who think that the triple murder was
merely the outcome of a drunken attempt
to assault the wife OF the captain, which
involved the killing OF the husband, her
protector, and the second mate, who
may have been a witness of the captains
murder, and then the killing of the
woman herself to cover DIP the crime.
This theory is not, however, generally
held, and it seems to be disproved by the
statement of Charles Brown to the effect
that second officer Bramberg was given
some of mate Braun's wniskey a few
days after the vessel left port, and he
Immediately became i'll. This circum-
stance excited a suspicion in Browns
mind that an attempt had been made to
poison the second officer. OF this in
view OF subsequent events, Brown is now
positive. The alleged act of Braun in
throwing overheard the axe with which
the murder was committed, is given
great weight by the people here, who be-
lieve in Brunn's guilt. ...f
The bodies OF the victims were found
to be too badly decomposed to permit of
their being embalmed, and this morning
they were placed in metal caskets and
Theoretically sealed and forwarded to
Harrington, Me-, for burial. The body
of Bran perg will be buried I'm Halifax.

Special Train Struck and
Mangled His Body.
Head, Hands and Feet Cut OF and
Strewn Along Road.
Victim Had Been Drinking Very Heavily
In the Saloons Yesterday.

Discovered hands and feet, torn frag-
ments of buman flesh and blood bespat.
tered rails, was the spectacle that met the
view of two tramps this morning when
they emerged from freight car near the
railway station atCeptreville in which they
had spent the night. They walked along
some distance finding considerable evi-
ground to pieces ty the mercitess wt1eeis
Of railroad train.
The authorities at Centrevile were
notified and steps were taken at once to
gather up the remains. 1t was employ
ment that few cared to engage in, but
the work had to be done. Railroad men
and others gave their assistance and as
much of the poor, shattered body as
could be found was brought together.
The hands were found in one place, the
feet in another, while the trunk had been
along the track for many hundred feet.
For long time the search for the head
which had Teen completely severed from
the body was frui,sss, but shortly after
0 O'Clock 1t was found at the bot
tom of an embankment where 1t had
been hurled by the on-rushing train.
Investigation showed that the man had
met death by being run over by a special
train from willimantic to Providence,
which passed Centerville between and
O'Clock this morning. For long
time there was no clue to tho identity
of the victim, and the impression prevailed
tnat he was some trackwalksr who had
paid the penalty of his recklessness with
his life. About 1880, however, the re-
mains were positively identified az those
of Dennis Ryan, who had been employed
at the new Warwick mills now in course
OF construction. All day yesterday, 1t
is reported, he was visiting saloons and
drinking to excess. 1t is pretty certain
that while In an intoxicated condition he
wandered to the tracks and lay down to
sleep. This belief il founded upon the
fact that the unfortunate man had re-
moved part OF his clothing, a. II he
thought he was in safe place of abode.
Ryan came from Bellows Falls, VT,
where his family now resides. The med
ical examiner who was called ordered
the remains to be given in charge OF an
undertaken, to be held until word is re-
ceived from Ryan's relatives, who have
been notified of his sad fate by tele-
graph.

The scene of the distardly crime was but
a short distance from the railroad

and her sister was picking huckleberries.
1t was the screams OF the assaulted girls

ber of persons TO the scene of the out

becoming alarmed at the noise made by
the girls. There were too many people
around fortunately for Williams TO make
good his escape.
He was Immediately captured by officer
Buclong and Charles Lutkin, who took
Kim to East Greenwich in s.team.

the little girl had been SO badly injured
that she would die, but this is not SO,
for this afterno Don the girl had about re-
covered from the shock. Her clothing

whose foul purpose was frustrated by the

DOG TOOK THE WALDORF.
He Was Good Natured Mastiff and Dodged
10 Avoid Arrest.

One of the huge mastids that guarded
Charles McCaffrey as he slept off a tired
feeling on the steps OF West Thirty
fourth street residence in New York, es-
capped from the police yesterday morn
ing. The big fellow had fun with the
servants and few of s.the guests OF the
Waldorf.
One of the mastifis Is called Grover.
He was less docile than his companion,
Tiger, and resisted arrest. Breaking
through the Gordon of police which sur
rounded him, he ran around the corner
into Thirty-third street, and went like
ton OF coal through the front door of the
Waldorf. Not finding the Moorish room
TO his taste, he entered the Mari Antoi-
nette room, and thon the winter garden.
The frightened guests didn't take kindly
to him and he ran into the Office, and
thence to the basement.
The butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker elm Ded upon various ar ticles
OF furniture to avoid Grover, while from
he ffice an emergency call was sent in
to the West Thirtieth street police sta
ZION, to the effect that mad dog had
stormed and taken the Waldorf.
When half a dozen policemen arrived
the nastiff, without a growl or a bark,
advanced and licked the roundsman's
hand. He submitted to the ignominy
OF arrest for disorderly conduct.

WORK TICKET TROUBLE.
Another Hearing Given by The Park Com
misSioners Today.

AHOluSi uSaflnS UlVSn Oy lHS TdIh IuIu-
missioners Today.
The investigation into the selling OK
employment tickets for park work
brought by John Nelson's ex-lieutenant,
Benjamin, against Abraham Ratiowich,
which was held in the private office of
the park commissioners yesterday, was
continued there this forenoon. Mr..
Cook, an Armenian employed in the Pub
lie Market, acted as interOreter and trans
lated Kerob Garaheldian's answers differ
eDt than did the Persian yester da". he
Sl0 that Bejamin SAID Ratowich received
for obtaining ticket for Garaheldlau,
VINO was mistakenly called Moorj yester-
day. proved to be nothing more than O
myth. GarahelGian is as poor as the
legendary church mouse, and IA q moth
in to pay for a card should 1t have been
asked. The real facts are TO the effect
that Isaac Moori gave Garaheldian his
ticket because the latter was in destitute
circumstances, There was the usual
amount or wrangling and the investiga-
tion only brought forth the factional
broll existing between Nelson and
Rsfiowich and Benjamin.
fhe men were sent back TO work and
ordered to stop such proceedings In
future. Park Commissioner Demming
said that hereafter no tickets would be
issued by any one bot himself.
