MAYOR HIT ON HEAD AMID
COMMANDMENT OF STONES
Sheriff Says He VIII Have 100 Men
On Duty Today--Troops May BE
called-No Cars Ran Last
Night.

Bridgeport Conn, May 1.-THE at
tempt made by the officials of the Con-
neeticut Railway and Lighting company
to run their cars with non-union men to-
day, resulted in a riot In which at least
fifteen men were injured. The sheriff
says that another such outbreak as oc-
CURED today will make the calling out
of the state troops inevitable.
At the present time 1t is possible that
the county sheriff will supercede the po-
lice in the control Of the city.
This morning six trolley cars were
started out on the Barnum and State
street lines There were large c.
around the car sheds at the time theN
were manned by 12 of the 100 strike-bra
ers brought to this city yesterday by the
trolley company.
There was no disturbance OF any kind
for couple of hours.
When the first car. however, had COM
pleted it's third round trip and was d.
rectly In front OF the Wheeler & Wilson
factory where a crowd of at least 1000
persons had gathered. bombardment
of stones began. Deputy Sherirs Hem
drfc and Plumb, who were riding on the
man whom they had seen throwing a stone
He was seized and with considerable Diff
nculty dragged nifty feet to the car. The
stone-thrower was big fellow, and
struggled so fercely that a policeman
who was standing nearby went to the as.
sistance of the sheriffs.
Immediately Mayor Mulvihiii was seen
hurrying through the mob. He rushed
up to the policeman and ordered him to
take his hands or the prisoner. He then
told the deputy sheriffs that they had bet
ter let the man go.
Stone Strikes the Mayor.
During the argument the stone-thrower
wrenched himself free and dashed away.
In the meantime stones were Tying in a
shower and one of them struck Mayor
MulvihilI on the head. bruising II badly.
The two sheriffs jumped on the car and
ordered the motorman to proceed to the
carsheds, a quarter of a mile distant.
The bombardment did not abate and the
crowds on the street were so dense that
the motorman had to go slowly.
The stone throwing soon became so
furious that the sheriffs drew their re-
volvers and fired five shots in the air.
This caused the bombardment to let up a
little and the car reached the bar and
was run inside.
The other five cars, operated on
same streets received exactly the sal
treatment as they followed the first car
into the car barns.
When the last car had passed within
the doors there was crowd Of 1000 peo-
pie gathered In vacant lot opposite, and
violence once more broke loose. Bricks.
stones and everything that could be
thrown were hurled at the barns and
anything that belonged to the company
In the vicinity.
At this point Mayor Mulvihill saw that
the sergeant and nine policemen who
were stationed at the car barns were
entirely unable to cope with the mob.

Refers to Payments.

Mr.. Tulloch says payments were au-
thorized to Mr.. Livingston amounting to
about $3.50 on May 5. June and June
10, 1899 That Of June 10 was for $1725
for Porto Rico and was rendered in a
lump sum. An intimate friend of Mr..
Heath's, M. d. Helm, was the vice presI-
dent of the company. 1t is stated the
company shipped $1,000 to $4,000 worth of
supplies to Cuba on orders from Mr..
Rathbone and Mr.. Nicely and fitted up the
American postoffice at the Paris expo
sition. Mr.. Livingston was also In charge
of the Washington office Of the Keyless
Lock company.
Mr. Tulloch says that the postmaster
inspector In charge. William b. Smith,
of this city made an inspection of the
Washington office and during that in
spection received word from an associate
of the first assistant postmaster general
that he would better be careful. or he
might lose his own head. Mr.. Tulloch
adds:
II was credibly informed at that time
that the matter so prepared. with per-
haps other evidence, was laid before Post
master General Smith by Fourth Assis-

The Office Surprised.

THE Washington office was surprised
one day to receive from the salary and
allowance division of the first assistant
postmaster generals office a printed cir
cular stating 1t was intending to require
all employees at postofflces to give a
blanket bond direct to the department,
said bond to be furnished by a single
recognized bonding company, Irrespective
of the fact whether such employees could
furnish good personal bonds or might de-
sire to avail themselves of competition in
premiums between other bonding COM
panies. A similar blanket bond was, | be-
lieve. to be required of the letter car
riers. The postmaster had a conference
with George W. Beavers, then chief of the
salary and allowance division, and report
ed that Mr. Beavers had said, Senator
Platt of New York would appreciate the
fact II he would select the senator's COM
pany. The original circular was subse-
quently modified by allowing employees to
select their own bond or bonding COM
panies.
Considerable feeling was manifested
towards me In the office of the first as
sistant postmaster general because
would not pay vouchers for services or
supplies upon personal request or by d.
rection over the telephone ]. Holt Liv-
fngston presented vouchers for payment

dred dollars. for postal furniture | re-
fused to pay until the allowance had been
received. 1t was for shipment of furni-
ture. as / remember. to cuba or Porto
Rico. No one had certified as to the re-
ceipt of the goods. and l called the at
tention Of Mr.. Livingston to the omis-
sion. He explained 1t would be all right
and that he needed the money. declined
to pay unless some responsible official
would acknowledge the receipt Of the
goods, whereupon Mr.. Livingston became
confidential and told me his company did
not have very much capital; that work
had not yet even begun upon the furn-
iture; but that George had agreed to
advance him the money in payment. 1t is
needless to add, no payment was made"

this respect be more strictly enforced,
and that any employe found drinking

duty would be summarily discharged.

No policeman was in sight at that
time and it looked as if the surgeon
was in for beating. He is small
man and the two men who had seized
him were big fellows. Suddenly the
physician reached in his hip pocket
and drew his revolver.
'Pl shoot the next man who lays
hand on me or these men," he shout
ed.
That ended the trouble. The men
ran in all directions, just as two police
men came up. The unconscious men
were placed in the ambulance and TAX

delay it is thought they will die.
The men occupied small room in
the tenement. Their names are An
derson and Thomas, but no one in the
place knew anything else about them.
The room was heated by gas stove
and the tube leading from the gas jet
became disconnected during the night.
Other tenants smelled gas and dragged
the unconscious men to the street.

NEW YORK. Dec. 30.--While treat

and employers was held this morning
in an attempt to avert strike which
would leave the greater portion of
Chicago's business population without
heat, light, or elevator service. A hun

suffer. The meeting failed to clear
the situation. The engineers, while
not refusing to arbitrate, declared that
under no circumstances would they ac-
cept as arbitrator clergymen, judges
or attorneys as in previous cases. Be-

the board, and the engineers lost in
stead of gained wages. The engineers
get % cents per hour, and dmand 37ls.
