TWO GAMES PROTESTED.
Toronto Claims Those Won With Fulmer
Are Illegal.

The Toronto club management are to
protest the two games won by the Wor-
cester base ball team, when it played in
that city, July 10 and II, with the ringer
player Fulmer, as James Grosshart of
Homestead, Pa, styled himself The
Toronto management claims that the
games were played with man who had
no right on the Worcester team and was
under contract with the Newports. If
the protest, which has been filed with
President Powers of the league, is up
held, the Farmers will not have such a
good position in the race.
Treasurer Fred H. Mason of the Wor-
cester team was seen by The Spy man
last evening and said he knew nothing
Of a protest being lodged, and did not
think 1t would do the Toronto team any
good if they did. 1t would, in the first
place. cost bit of money to prove that
F'ulmer is Grosshart, and then 1t Is
likely that could not be done. He did
not know what action Powers will take
in the matter, and will wait until the club
has received some notification from the.
president of the league before any steps
will be taken in the matter.
Treasurer Mason reiterated his previ-
GUS statement-that Charlie Frinbee
would be playing in a Worcester uniform
when the fight for the pennant was on
at the end of the season, and does not
feel disturbed because a morning paper
says that Frisbee would never again play
for the Worcesters. He expects to see
Frisbee here as soon as Hamilton gets
going fast enough and his knee Is in prop
er shape.
Treasurer Mason says that Klobedanz
will pitch the game for the Worcesters,
at the oval today. Miller will make his
debut at the oval FRIDAY afternoon.

HE MUST REMAIN.
Rev. Nels' Eagle viii Not Leave HE
Church Here.

Rev. Nels Eagle will remain a nostor
OF the Thomas Street Swedish M =
church. Some weeks ago Rev. Mr.. ne
gle received call to go to the Swedish
NJ. e. church in Chicago and become ~,
pastor. He desired to accept the ca !
nut his congregation here did not want
him to leave. Three weeks ago IL was
decided to leave the matter to Rishon
W. F. Mallalieu of Boston. and n. ~
the church people and the pastor shouls
abide by his decision.
Yesterday a letter was received nv
Rev. Mr. Eagle from the bishop savinS
that he had been corresponding WITH
bishops and pastors in various parts of
the west, and that he could find plantv
or men who were willing and able to
lake charge of the church here.
But he was not able to find any one
yet to whom he felt inclined to entrust
the church and its welfare at the pr~s-
ent time, and SO he would be Obliged
to request him to remain here for the
present This finally settles the nat
ter and the Thomas Street churcn viii
not lose its beloved pastor.

Davis was emphatically opposed 10
such a procedure. He impressed them
with the fact that it was not done for
the sake of notoriety, but merely as
mark of appreciation for faithful SER
vice from one who could afford to rem
der it.
In spite, however, of all efforts at sec
recy, the news leaked out. 1t is under
stood that one Of the fortunate maids
was Miss Celia Killeen, who has been
in his employ for number Of years.
So close, however, has the matter been
kept from public knowledge, that the
name of the other maid has not been
learned.
Mr.. Davis was not at home last even
ing when The Spy man called, so that
it was impossible to get the story from
him personally. But it comes from what
seem to be very reliable sources.
| This is not the first time that the
coachman, Mr., Chase, has profited by
Mr.. Davis generosity. At the close of
10 years of service in the employ of Nj.
Davis the latter made him present of
| $1,000 in cash, and from time to time he
has given many valuable gifts to all
his servants
1t is understood that when the gift of
stock was made, he expressed the hope,
although he did not tender the gift with
any conditions, that the beneficiarles
would continue their service with him
during the remainder of his life.
By the market valuation of the gift,
each of the maids has become richer
by the sum Of $4,000, and the coachman
is $1,000 better off than before the stock
was presented to him.
1t was stated to a Spy man last even
ing that one Of the maids had already
had her stock long enough to draw
dividends that would net her enough
to keep her in clothing and pin money
for a year.
Mr.. Davis gift is almost unparalleled
in its way, and fairly outdoes the pres
entation made by the late John Spauld-
ing of Boston of Sugar stock to the
chambermaids in the United States
hotel only few years ago.

SERVICE REWARDED,
Mr.. Charles H. Davis Reported to Have
Given 100 Shares of Norwich and
WorcesterStock to His Coachman
and Two Maids, and Now They
Are Drawing Dividends.

Charles H. Davis, one of Worcesters
wealthiest citizens, has decided to act
as his own executor, in a sense, while
yet alive.
1t is stated IN what seems to be good
that he has already distribut-
ed to three of the employees at his
home establishment, 100 shares of Nor
witch and Worcester railroad stock,
Which at the present time carries a
market value of $215 per share, repre-
senting a total value Of $21, 500.
AS the story is told, several weeks
ago Mr.. Davis called the coachman and
two favorite maid servants into the
library and announced the very sur
prising information to them that he
had already prepared a will in their
favor, bequeathing to them the sum of
$1,000 each, but it had occurred to him
that in cases of this kind a very great
liability existed OF legal contests when
wills were probated.
He desired, he said to avoid any pos
sibility of this kind, and he could see
no better way of preventing it than by
giving them the money or it's equivalent
while he was yet alive.
In view of the fact that they had all
been in his service for a long time and
had been faithful and trustworthy to
his deceased wife and to himself, the
former being particularly attached to
them, he thought it no more than right
that they should receive some substan-
tial memento of that attachment and
also of his own appreciation.
He then destroyed the will and in
formed them that he had placed to
their credit in the strong boxes of the
State Mutual safety deposit vaults, 100
shares of the Norwich and Worcester
Railroad company. OF this, 81 shares
were given to Otis J. Chase, the coach
man, and SO shares each to the two
maids.
The news of their sudden wealth was
almost overpowering, and the first dis
position of the fortunate beneficiaries
was to make the story of their employ
er's generosity known to all their
friends, but it is understood that Mr..

SCORES OF PEOPLE INJURED.
Manhattan Trolley Men Join the Brooklyn
Strikers--From the Bowery to Harlem
Howling Mob Fights With the
Police and Blockades the Streets.

New York, July 19-Manhattan troll
ley men joined the Brooklyn trolley
men today in their big strike. The
strike centre in Manhattan was on Sec
ond avenue. The excitement in Brook
lyn centred in the vicinity of Thirty
sixth street and Fifth avenue, where
early this morning dynamite was used
IN an attempt to blow down the elevated
structure. The rioting that took place
IN Manhattan this afternoon and to-
night was Of a serious nature, infinitely
t1ercer than any that has occurred yet
in the borough across the river.
Scores Of people were severely injured
IN the Second avenue district Tonight
that great thort ughfare was crowded
with a jeering, bowling mob, almost
from the Bowery to Harlem. The great
tenements gave forth their working
men residents, who backed up the
strikers in many fierce struggle with
the police, and with the men We're many
women and still greater mob of chill
dren. They stoned every car that
passed over the tracks; they hurled
stones and chunks of iron and vegeta-
bles of variety of nature from the
roofs Of the houses and from the win
dows; they barricaded the streets with
paving stones, choked up the slot with
wire and spikes, and blocked the thor
oughfare.
They had many hand to hand con-
f1ict with the 500 patrolmen that had
been placed along the line. OF the in
Jured, the exact number cannot be
known. Several policemen were re-
moved to hospitals with broken bones
and torn scalps. At least one striker
or strike sympathizer had his skull
fractured. A boy also had his skull
fractured. Innumerable passengers on
the cars received bad wounds, and it
was impossible for passengers on Sec

d avenue to go above Fourteenth

street
On the other lines throughout Man
haitian, the strike was not at any time
prominent during the day. Tonight,
however, the motormen on the Eighth
avenue line, to the number of 100 or
more, ordered and declared a strike
They thereupon set about to persuade
their fellow-workingmen to leave their
carE. and with sufficient success to
have cars running on only hourly sche-
dule before midnight. Tomorrow, they
declare, Eighth avenue also will be tie d
up. The officials of the Sixth avenue
line made the statement tonight that
the cars on this avenue were moving
about the same as the other.
In Brooklyn, the strikers made some
gains, so far as the diminishing of
trolley car traffic was concerned. Fewer
cars were running ON the lines. But the
dynamite outrage in the early morning
hour, was undoubtedly a severe set
back to the strikers. The police, in
connection with the blowing down Of
the two elevated columns, moved rapid
ly and made more than a score of ar
rests, sixteen of the men being keld
by the courts. The strikers deny any
knowledge of the dynamiting, aud
General Master Workman Parsons has
offered a reward of $500 if it can he

it. President Rossiter, of the Brooklyn

reward of $1,000 for the conviction of the
perpetrator.

both walks with a dense mass OF peo-
pie all eager for trouble Capt. Dona-
hue had sent out a squad of men to
keep people out of the middle of the
street, so that no tampering with the
Slot might occur. His men used their
clubs with all their power, and the only
result was to anger the crowd SO that
little discrimination was shown be-
tween the police and the car men, when
tricks were thrown. At about eight
o'clock great crowd gathered between
42d and 10th street and attempted to
overthrow the cars that came along
about thirty minutes apart.
Policeman Owen Conovan, who was
on the car bound south, was hit on the
head with brick and knocked off his
seat to the pavement His left eye
was almost knocked out. He was tax
en- to the Flower hospital. Louis Mink
us, a nine-year-old boy, got in front of
policeman's club and was knocked
over, and had his skull fractured. He
was taken to hospital. He will prob
ably die.
Mike Sheridan, a strike sympathizer
was taken home with fractured skull
A sergeant and forty reserves were got
out on the double quick and dispersed
the crowd, making a number of ar
rests.
Another crowd got together at 18th
street and Second avenue and when a
car bound down came along it met a
perfect shower Of bricks, stones and
other missiles thrown from the street,
the windows of the flats and the roofs.
The women were perfect furies. While
car was passing 72d street with
Policeman Gallagher as an escort. a
score of the mob tried to board it to
take off the conductor and motorman.
Gallagher drawing his revolver, walked
ahead of the car, clearing the track, the
mob retreating sullenly. Some one
threw brick and hit him in the leg,
cutting 1t badly. Twelve mounted
policemen came to the rescue and dis
persed the crowd
