CONDITIONS AT THE YARDS.
A tour of the yards OF the wharf dealers
this morning showed lighter business
than that OF yesterday. The Eastern
plant had about 30 teams at work deliver
Ing coal, a decrease of four since yester-
! day.
The dealers say that II IS very difficult
| to hire any sort OF man 10 go on the
| teams. Many or those hired have given
very unsatisfactory service and have not
/ been able 10 do the work OF the men
| whose positions they fill.
| Ii now requires two men TO go with a
\ single wagon, where before the strike one
man was all that was required on one
| horse team. The double-horse teams are
now worked by three men, the usual num-
ber required being two.
Joseph Olney a. Son are working three
double teams and four single teams.
| They lost two men last night, but hired
I'm two this morning TO replace them. All
OF their help are Providence men. some
OF the yard men being old employees.
At the Robt. r. Smith yards about the
same number OF teams are at work as
| there were yesterday Most OF the de-
livery Is TO family trade
POLICEMEN ON GUARD
Policemen were detailed at all OF tho
big yards but had little 20 do this morn
ing. as none OF the strikers were seer
about the yards.
Teams from the Eastern company'
yards and from the yards Of the Provi'
dence company employed police escorts

wagons which left the yards. The 20
licemen are chafing n little under th'
collar at having 20 dog the wagons

between Joseph Gossang. IA years old, and
Michael Tallasco, II years old, both of
whom live in Brooklyn, Tallasco was NOR
tally shot In the head. The revolver with
which the wound was inflicted had been
given by Gossangs elder brother to an
other boy, Louis Vanderberg.
Vanderberg Joined Joseph Gossang and
a number OF other boys In game OF
marbles. and while they were playing
Vanderberg drew the revolver from his
pocket.
Gossang immedia tely recognized the
weapon as his and demanded II. Wander
berg handed II over 10 him and the boys
resumed their playing. Presently Tallas-
co drew a small revolver from his pocket
and pointing II at Gossange told him that
the weapon was better than his flve-
chambered one.
Gossang invited Tallasco to fight a duel.
They moved back about Is feet from each
other and then, pointing the weapons
straight at each other. Gossang gave the
order to fire. Gossang pressed the trig-
ger and the bullet entered Tallasco's head
behind the right ear. and DETECTING. came
out on his left cheek. With his own
pistol clasped in his hand Tallasco fell
to the sidewalk.
The other boys stood appalled, with
fright. A policeman sent for an ampu-
lance and the injured boy was taken to
the hospital. Gossang disappeared and
1t was not until his parents home had
been searched for a third time that he
was found concealed in the cellar under a
pile of coal.
He still had the revolver. II was with
difficulty that a squad of policemen pre-
vented friends OF the Tallasco family from
getting at the Gossang boy when he was
dragged from his place Of hiding. Halt
a hundred or infuriated ftHffans chased
