FOR THAW JURY
TOMAKE REPORT
SERIOUS TROUBLE
I'm BOSTON STRIKE
First Since Affair Started Over a Week
Ago Occurred Late Yesterday.

Boston, April 12 The first serious
trouble in the teamsters' strike which
opened On its second week yesterday,
was experienced late yesterday after
noon in South Boston. The disturbance
assumed almost the nature of riot.
when scores of men aud boys, among
whom we're many wearing union buttons,
attacked the strike breaking teamsters
and their guards in the section about
First and Second and Granite streets.
Bricks and stones were hurled at the
Fteamsters and back again into the crowd
and in one instance 4 guard was pum-
Imeled and pulled from team. AT least
one boy was seriously hurt and unm-
Hbef Of others were injured.
The trouble started about $50 o'clock
as the strike breaking teamsters were
returning to the barn, several Of which
are located in this vicinity, namely,
those of Lewis Flanders & Co, Fffield
rs Richardson and Hillard Il %. VII.
liam J. Shannon, aged 10, Of 109 Bre-
mn street, East Boston, is alleged to
have driven his team directly into that
of one of the strike breakers.
HaxIet, who witnessed the scene, inn
mediately placed shannon under arrest.
In short time a large crowd collected,
surrounding the strikebreaking teamsters
and BY misdirecting them, caused great
confusion as the teamsters attempted to
find their stables. Bricks and stones
were hurled and one athletic young man
jumped upon dray owned BY Flanders
& Co., crept up behind the guard, who
was standing behind the driver and Inn
mediately engaged him in rough and
tumble on the empty vehicle.
When they rolled off the dray the
guards assaiant escaped in the crowd.
About this time two sergeants and
twenty officers appeared on the scene
and attempted to break up the crowd.
Michael Hallisey, aged IS years, Of 20
Second street, South Boston, was ar
rested, charged with disturbing the peace
and assault. A boy in the crowd having
been hit on the head with stone, the
police claimed they saw the stone thrown
which hit the boy, and arrested Edward
Bentell, aged 10 years, strike breaker
from New York, aghinst whom the POI
lice placed a charge Of assault and bat
terry. The victims name Il given as
William Lynch of 22 Mercer street, SO.
Boston.

state against Patrick ". McCabe, the
former Central Vermont station agent
at Bolton, who was charged with train
wrecking. and with perjury before tho
state board Of railroad connmi ssioners,

jumped an open switch and plunged into
three freight cars on siding. Every
car Of the train was derailed and scme
of them were considerably damaged,
The derailed cars plcughed over the ties
for a distance Of so rods. BY cireum-
stances which seemed little short of
miraculous, no one was injured ia the
disaster, although the cars were heavily
laden with passengers,
The train crew was exonerated from
any charge of negligence from the fact
that the switch light was III a position
To Indicate that the switch was propcr-
ly set Trainmen who examined the
switch after the wYecking Of the cars
found that it had been iHft unlocked
and that the light had been taken off
and suspended BY a wire 20 as TO ap-
pear as IL set in regular form.
Suspicion soon centered upon Station
Agent McCabe He was summoned to
testify in the investigation instituted

This hearing was held 6rst in Bnrling-
ton and was in progress at st. Albans
when McCabe disappeared.
He was traced into Canada and after

HAS NOT WITHDRAWN
FROM BALL LEAGUE
Statement About Burlington Is Declared
to Be False, According to Message
Received in Barre
Today.

a despatch sent out from Manchester.
N. H., that Burlington had withdrawn
from the New Hampshire state baseball
league il declared t0 be Incorrect, accord
ing TO adyices received in this city to-
day. The directors stated that a meet
ing of the Burlington association will
be held tomorrow evening, and If there
Is any sentiment for withdrawal 1t will
be allowed to put il word about Il
then. The despatch is as follows:
Though Burlington, Vt, sent a repre-
sentative 70 the meeting Of the New
Hampshire state league at the New City
hotel Wednesday, with full power to act.
word was received by telephone from
the Vermont city Thursday afternoon
that there was hitch ia the proceedings
and some doubt was expressed that the
association would come IN
The iHtimation came as a great sur
prise to the league officials and to A. w.
Daley. representing the Barre Montpelier
Intercity "a. A., which was also admitted
TO the league.
"If Burlington withdraws. this will
necessitate the withdrawal Of Barre
Montpelier, as it would not be advisable
to travel such a great distance to play
with one team alone.
"a X Milne. who represented the
Burlington association at Wednesdays
meeting, communicated with Mr.. Daley
Thursday afternoon at the New City
hotel and announced to him that as q
result Of the meeting Of the association
held Thursday morning at Burlington,
the members had practically decided not
To become member of the league. He
said that opposition had been raised BY
those interested in baseball on the ground
that it would injure the college games
of the university of Vermont Further
more, there was some talk of forming u
minor league in the adjoining towns.
"Mr Daley and his associates. who
had been working hard on the eight club
schedule, were Obliged to call halt in
their work.
AS result Of the Communication.
Mr.. Daley was authorized by President
William B. Van Duzer Of the New Hanlp-
shire State league 10 confer with the
Burlington association on his return to
Vermont Friday, and to ascertain Just
what tho trouble Is and adjust it If pos
sihle Mr.. Daley was invested with full
power to act.
~The action OF the burlington people
practically knocks baseball in the head
for the Barre Montpelier Intercity A. A..
"Just what the sontcome viii be is a
matter OF conjecture. Naturally the
New Hampshire State league officials
feel put ont over the turn that things
have taken, as Burlington was very
anxious to become a member, and ii was
not at the solicitation Of The league
officials that representatives were sent
here.
"lt is hoped by all concerned that the
matter can be adjusted to the satisfac-
tion Of the Burlington association"

Loss a FIgh Hatehery Eaaggerated.

State Fish ard Game Commissioner
II. G. Thomas, Of Stowe, says that all
stories thus far printed regarding the
loss Of fry al the Vermont Ash hatch
cry at Roxbury are greatly exagger-
ated. Mr.. Thomas says only the usual
spring loss has occurred and the cont
ditions OF the hatchery itself have
nothing to do with the death 81 the
small fry. Mr.. Thomas says that plans
are now being made TO stock many Of
the brooks and trout lakes in the spring.
Lake Mansfield win be greatly benefited
again this year by the addition Of 4
large amount Of fry. Mr. Thomas said
that it WIS an interesting fact that
since the lake had been opened some
six years ago, two tons and a half of
trout have been taken from It's waters.
The trout season there opens about the
middle Of June The annual meeting
Of the Lake Mansfield club will be held
