ordered to throw up his hands" drew
a revolver and shot the supposed
thief dead. Joseph P Brown, who
fired the shot, was friend OF his VIC

house for several months. Brown,
who is colored, was approaching his
home when a colored man started out
of the shadows with a gruff command
OF Throw up your hands" Brown
drew a revolver and fired four shots
at the supposed hold-up man, who fell
to the street. Brown started toward
his home. He was intercepted by two
policemen who heard the shots and

HEARERSOFTHE GRAY
Parade Streets Of Dallas to Inspiring
Strains of Martial Music.
GENERAL GORDON HAILED AS HERO.
Behind the Old soldiers the Menu
beers of the Sons OF Confederate
Veterans Marched In
the Procession.

Dallas. Tex. April 24.-with their
blood stirring to the same old airs by
which they had marched and fought
two score years ago, the veteran rem
nant of the Confederate armies repre-
scented at the Dallas reunion marched
through the streets of the city, the
object of wildly cheering throng.
The day was holiday, public build
ings and stores generally being clos
ed during the hours when the parade
was passing. Thousands OF visitors
coming for the sole purpose of seeing
the old soldiers were added to the
multitude already on the streets.
Some of the veterans, too feeble to
march, found places along the route
and waved their hats and screeched
the famous rebel yells.
The line of march covering the
down town districts was a packed
mass of humanity. The crowd was far
and away the largest that the city has
ever entertained.
Major General Van Zandt, marshal
of the day. and staff. preceded by
mounted police to clear the way, led
the parade Following him came Gen.
eral Gordon and star. The erect,
slender figure, the alert eyes and the
gray. pointed beard of the command
er-in-chief were well known to most
of the spectators. The location of his
gray horse, according to an observer,
could almost be told by the increase
in the volume of cheers progressing
like a wave along with him. Next
came distinguished guests and then
the veterans. The latter were ar.
ranged according to departments. Be
hind the old soldiers came the mem
bers of the Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams. There was no business session
of the association, recess having
been taken on Wednesday till Friday,
when the reunion comes to an end.
Near the head of the line came the
famous North Carolina Hornets, %
with Hornets Nests pinned to their
breasts or hanging from poles. 1t
was estimated that $4,000 men were
in line, about 1900 being veterans.
General Gordon had great trouble
in getting back to his hotel. At every
opportunity crowds eager to shake
his hand corralled him. At the hotel
crowd of sponsors and maids OF
honor captured him and as many as
could threw their arms about him.

Foltce Have No Further Trouble With
Silk Dyeing Employees.
Paterson. n. j.. April 24.-The OPP
orators of silk dye houses made no
general attempt to resume business
and no disorder occurred in any of
the strike districts. Many of the
striking helpers appeared in the vicin-
ity of the shops which they quilted
to enforce their demand for higher
pay, but they made no demonstration
of any kind. The largest crowd gath
cred about the hall at Riverside used
by the strikers, where a meeting had
been called. They stood about dis
cussing the situation and were order
ly. The police reserves were placed
in positions to be quickly available
for any service that might be requir-
ed. Reports given out at police head
quarters were that the strikers were
entirely orderly and that no further
trouble was anticipated.
1t was announced at the meeting of
strikers that the Gautschy Dyeing
company had signed the scale. Thirty
men from that shop were on strike
and it was unanimously voted to per-
init them to return to work. Favor
able reports concerning several other
shops were received, but in number
OF instances the strikers committee
failed to meet the owners. In the case
of Anger &c Simon, the committeeman
reported that the firm refused to re-
ceive them. There was a renewal of
the suggestion that militia be asked
for to protect the property Of the
firms, whose men men have struck
and some Of the dye house operators
called on Mayor Hinchcliffe to discuss
the matter The mayor did not favor
the idea, taking the ground that the
police was fully capable of handling
the situation.
