 White asked that three companies of
 militia be sent to Pawtucket avenue,
 and this was done, with Major Johnson in command But before this order was carried into effect the most serious
 trouble of the day occurred.
 1 A car was started from the Pawtuck-
 ct avenue car house on which were
 score of deputy sheriffs. At PaWtucket and East avenues big crowd was in waiting and it was preparing to give
 the deputies a warm reception, Major Maynard had the First bat talion of cavalry as a guard to the cars,
 the troop being divided by platoons, front and rear. The deputy sheriffs were ordered to keep their revolvers in their pockets by Major Maynard, who
 said if there was to be shooting done the militia would do it.
 Chief of Police Rice was present and advised the people to disperse, and a
 number of the striking conductors and
 motormen practically endangered their own safety by endeavorIng to prevail on
 the people to leave.
 Before the people turned their atten ton to the car they cheered the troop CTS: Immediately after, however, a terrible rain of stones, brickbats and every conceivable form of missile fell
 upon the electric car. The troopers were hemmed in by the mob and with
 great difficulty succeeded in working their way out

 which did no damage save one, which lodged in the neck of Venner Peterson, aged twelve years, son of John Peter son, of this city The boy had been carrying dinners and he was returning home when attracted by the crowd. The lad could not speak nor well under stand English, and the shot struck him when he was standing some distance from the car. The shooting made the mob wild, and only the presence of the troops prevented the demolition of the car and the serious injury of some of the deputies. Major Sweet, surgeon of the cavalry, examined the lad and pro- nounced him fatally hurt. The boy Mas taken to the Emergency hospital, where it was announced tonight that he would die.
 The wounding of the boy sobered the crowd and after the car had proceeded the crowd became more temperate. But many threats were made to kill a dep uty sheriff in retaliation.
 At this time Providence passenger Benjamin P. Bosworth, becoming alarmed at the shower of stones, jump ed from the car which was being rushed through the mob and sustained serious injuries by falling. He suffered a con- cussion of the brain and was unable to disclose his identity until late in the day. It is thought Bosworth will re- cover.
 The situation during the remainder of the afternoon, after the militia officers had been over the field and had mapped out plans of campaign, and the procla- nation of Governor Kimball had been published, was such that General Tan ner determined to have all the soldiers available. After consultation with Gov ernor Kimball it was decided to ask for all of the available militia, and addi- tional companies were called out, On arrival of these commands there were 750 men and sixty officers on duty.
 The companies had been formed into battalions and these were alternately on duty After the militia had been stoned in the morning ball cartridges were served out, each private carrying forty rounds and each officer fifty rounds of ravoIvar ammunition
 The city has not been placed under martial law, although many have as- sumed that fact. Martial law cannot be announced save through an act of the general assembly.

As it now is, the law is not suspended and the civil
