STEAMER ST. LOUIS SAFE
PASSED NANTUCKET LTGHTSHIP
At 6:4O LAST NIGHT.

Signals Made but Were Un!mteIltgibIe
Owing to n Heavy GaIc-Going Dead
Slow indicating That She Was short
Ofsteam Power-WnI Probably Reach
New York Tonight.
Siasconset, Mass, Jan. 16-The over
due American line steamer st. Louis
passed Nantucket lightship at 6:45 p.
m.
New York, Jan. 16.-Word reached
this city this evening that the Amer
lean line steamer st. Louis, from South
ampton, January 5, for New York, was
sighted off Nantucket lightship at 6:4O'
going dead slow.
Signals were made to the South Shoal
lightship but owing to the fact that a
heavy gale was blowing thew were un-
intelligible. The slow rate of speed at
which the st. Louis was travelling indi-
Gated that unless she should be assist
ed she will not reach New York until
late Saturday night. Appearances in
dicated that the ST. Louis was short Of
steam power, and the signals were
thought to imply that trouble with her
boilers had beLn experienced.
Clement A. Griscom, jr.. said tonight
that the agents of the line had heard
nothing of the st. Louis beyond the fact
that she had been sighted. 1t was not
considered necessary, he said, to dis
patch a vessel to her assistance, as If
aid be needed, the st. Louis will have
ample opportunity to signal for it when
she arrives off Fire island He does not
expect that the st. Louis will reach
Sandy Hook much before noon to-mor-
row.
1t was said in Wall street to-day that
there are about $2.5OO,oO0 of stocks and
bonds on the st. Louis.

TILLMAN'S VICTIM SINKING
EDITOR GONZALES CONDITION
SERIOUS LAST NIGHT.

The Crisis Expected EARLY To-day
Tilimnu Issues When the
Truth Is Known HIS Friends Will
Know How Thoroughly He Was JUS
tIfied in the Unfortunate Affair.
Columbia, S. c., Jan. 16.-Physicians,
after consultation at II o'clock tonight,
issued a bulletin that N. G. Gonzales,
the editor, who was shot by Lieutenant
Governor Tillman, was very low. His
condition was very critical and the
symptoms very grave. The crisis is ex-
pected before daylight.
Lieutenant Governor Tillman, who
shot N. G. Gonzales. the editor, took
things quietly to-day. He had some
new furniture brought to his place of
confinement in the Jail and made HIM
self comfortable. Some visitors called
on him but most of the day he spent
in consultation with his lawyers, Con-
gressman George w. Croft, former
Judge F. w. Buchanan and Coleman
L. Blease.
Two of his counsel gave to the As
sociated Press the following statement
prepared by Mr.. Tillman himself In re-
sponse to a telegram from New York
newspaper:
II can only say that when the truth
of the unfortunate affair is known, my
| friends, as we'll as the people, will
know how thoroughly I was justified
in acting as I did.
1.-THE statements already published in
the papers are untrue and at the
proper time this I will be prepared to
show. Beyond this I do not care to
make any further statement. (signed)
JAMES H. TILLMAN."
| 1t is understood here that Tillman's S
line of defense will be that he thought
Gonzales was armed, that he had a
weapon in his coat pocket and that he
had bis hands in his coat pocket. Con
zales' friends state that he was not
armed. Tillman will also claim that
when he aimed his pistol the second
time at Gonzales he did so expecting
Gonzales to defend himself, and that he
lowered his weapon because there was
no response and not because of any
thing Gonzales said. Tillman, it is un-
derstood also. will say that he had not
met Gonzales before. This is denied by
Gonzales friends, who say both mer
had been in the senate chamber anG
state capitol together.

YOUNG DISBROW ACQUITTED
VERDICT REACHED AFTER A
SHORT DELIBERATION.
Generally Anticipated-Case of the
Prosecution Weak ThrOughout-The
Strongest Point Against the Accused
the Fact That He Was the Last Person
Seen with Foster.

Riverhead, L. l., Jan. 16-Louis A.
Disbrow was acquitted to-day on the
charge of killing Clarence Foster at
Good Ground on the night of June 9,
The verdict was generally anticipated,
and was reached by the jury after very
brief deliberation. The case for the
prosecution throughout was weak, the
strongest point made against the ac-
cused being that he was the las Nerson
seen with Foster and Miss lawrence
on the night of the tragedy. The coe-
tention of the defense was that Foster
and the girl committed suicide
District Attorney Smith said after the
prisoner had been discharged that he
would not move to trial the indictment
charging Disbrow with the death of
Miss Lawrence.
District Attorney Livingston Smith,
in closing for the prosecution, said the
evidence produced all pointed to the
prisoner as the murderer of Foster,
Disbrow. he said, was the last person
in the company of Foster and Miss
Lawrence and all the evidence showed
that Disbrow had guilty knowledge OF
Fosters death.
Judge Maddox reproved the district
attorney for mentioning Miss Lawrence
because the indictment against Disbrow
did. not hold him responsible for the
girls death.
After the jury had retired Judge Mad
dox ordered the sheriff to have the bell
run when a verdict was received. This
was done and the crowds who have
been attending the trial f1ocked to the
court room. A few minutes later Judge
Maddox took his seat and the jury pre-
sented verdict of mot guilty" There
was a demonstration of approval and
| one man commenced to cheer. The judge
ordered the offender brought before him
but the man mingled with the throng
| and disappeared.

Of the young lady's home, 6520 Vim
cennes avenue. Merritt and Miss Dwy-
er were ascending the stairs when the
crazed lover sprang in front of them
behind a storm door. He had a revol-
yer in his hand. Their laughter as they
came along the street had frenzied him
and when they mounted the steps he
jumped from his place Of concealment.
Don't shoot" exclaimed the mortified
girl as she turned to flee. But Conlin
was too quick for her. He grabbed her
by the arm and pressing the revolver
to her forehead, fired. She rolled down
the steps and fell dead.

ROSEBERT TALKS.
Attacks His Govern for Its yene-
Zuelan Policy.

London, Jan. 16.-In the course of a
spirited attack on the governments
general policy, Lord Rosebery, speak
ing at Plymouth tonight, referred to
Venezuela. He reminded his audience
that when the liberal government had
the same kind of debt collecting to do
in Nicaragua it first consulted Wash
ington and then settled the business in
a couple Of days. He said he did not
know the facts of the Venezuelan af-
fair but that he felt convinced the gov
ernment had consulted the United
States before taking any action in this
matter, and that it must have had i'm
pervious motives in entering into the
alliance with Germany, as otherwise 1t
would not have adopted such an un-
wise policy. Lord ROsebery said he de-
sired, however, to hear the govern
ments' motives before criticising it.

Waterbury, Jan. 16.-To-day was the
most exciting day of the strike since it's
inception on Sunday, when the motor
men and conductors of the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting company went
out in body. At the West Main street
car barns where the non-union men are
Quartered, there congregated tonight a
crowd of at least 500 men, boys and wo-
men, hooting and jeering at the men
within and discharging a volley of
stones every minute at the windows OF
the buildings and of the cars standing
outside.
One woman, who was watching as an
interested spectator three hundred feet
away from the barns, was accidentally
hit in the face with large rock and
was led, weeping, away from the place.
reprimanded at the same time by a po-
| liceman for being there. None of the
| imported men was allowed outside dur
| ing the evening, or there would have
been a bad riot.
The police were unable to deal with
the crowd, as they congregated faster
than they could be dispersed. The night
Matchman was repeatedly stoned as he
passed from the office to the other
buildings. A howl went up from the
crowd every time a stone would crash
through a window, so loud that it could
plainly be heard a mile away. Even
during the day as the cars passed
through the principal streets they were
the targets for bricks and other mis-
siles, particularly from the new build
ings being erected on Bank street to
replace those destroyed by fire.
| Wagons are purposely driven along
the tracks in all parts of the town TO
hinder the passage of the cars. one
motorman on the North Willow street
line to-day became exasperated, and by
the advice of one of the best known at
torneys in the city put up the front
fender and showed the grocery wagon
in charge of two boys up the hill for
two blocks. finally crushing one of the
wheels, when it was driven off the
tracks, but not before each of the two
boys had been thrown off the wagon
and slightly injured.
The strikers are orderly and united
to a man. They are supported by all
union men and their families in the
city, which includes over six thousand
union workers alone Financial con-
tributions are coming in by the. hun
dreds, and one business man has given
them $500 at one time. The company is
also Just as determined to win. The
cars are not run at night, nor are they
operated in the thickly populated labor
ing districts, even in broad day. fol

The principal line out of the city
running to Naugatuck six miles south
has not been opened at ALL and it is moi
likely that it will be for some time. The
Waterbury Business Mems association
tonight appointed committee Of five
of the best known business men of the
city to confer with both sides and urge
that they each choose one commissions
of arbitration, third to be selected by
the two.

INCENDIARY FIRE
DESTROYS Tenement
In New York City and Causes the
Death of Four Persons.

New York, June 13.-Three children
and one man were burned to death
and fourth persons seriously injured
in fire of incendiary origin, which
destroyed a One-stOry tenement at
18th street today Four families oc-
cupied the building. The fremen
found a great quantity of oil-sOaked
rags in the hallway.
Nearly 100 fires in which a dozen
lives have been lost have occurred in
this neighbOrhOod since November
last. The authorities believe that one
irebug is responsible. A coincidence
brought this fire in the heart of little
Italy on this feast day of StanOthy Of
Padua, the patron saint of fire. To-
day thousands of residents of little
italy are supplicating the saint for
protection. One of those injured died
at the hospital this afternoon making
