Anne Barham, twenty-seven years
old, wife of w. 5. Barham, of Full
ton. today was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by her husband charging
her with putting ground glass in his
Iood with the intent to kill him.
Barham sWOre out the warrant
against his wife after he had been
informed that a portion of chicken
stew, which he had brought to DR..
Whitfield, City Chemist, for analysis.
contained quantity of ground or
crushed glass.
DR.. Whitfield says the man told him
that he had eaten of the chicken stew
ana had become extremely i'll. on
consultation with his neighbors he
came TO the conclusion that the stew
contained poison and brought a
quantity Of il to DR.. Whitfield who
found that it contained ground or
pulverized glass.
The pieces OF glass which DR..
Whitfield found in the stew were of
Such size as might result from being
pulNerized with any heavy article
Ground glass has few household
uses and 1t seems improbable that il
could have accidentally come into the
stew. The case will come up in Po-
ice Court tomorrow. UD to a late
hour this afternoon Mrs. Barham had
not been bailed.
Barham appeared at police head
quarters several days ago and report
ed that his wife had disappeared.

First Riot Started.

LAWRENCE. MASS,
Shots were fired today by the mob of
strikers in an attempt Of 5000 men
and women TO rush the bridge in
front Of the lower Pacific mills about
s o'clock. No one was hit. Great
streams of water from the mill was
poured from three hoses into the
crowd and three arrests were made.
The prisoners were held in the mill
for fear that q riot would be pre-
cipitated II they were carried through
the streets. Three hundred additional
police will be rushed here at once.
Members Of the State police and Pin
kerton men are here at the request
of the millmen.
Intense excitement followed the ap-
pearance of the soldiers. The mob
was driven into a frenzy.
One company carried hickory clubs
instead OF guns and bayonets. although
they were armed with revolvers.
The troops charged right at the
mob. driving the crowd along Canal
Street. In the crowd were a number
OF visitors from New York. who urged
the men TO resist.
Ambulances were summoned and
the wounded were hurried to the hos
pitals. Before the calling out OF the
militia several attempts had been
made by the strikers to rush the
bridges leading to the mills. At the
lower Pacific mills the mob found q
+ garrison OF policemen guarding the
bridge.
An attempt was made to rush the
| bridge. but among the defenders were
q number OF State police. under Cap
tain William Proctor. These charged
the mob and forced II back. Then
came a flank attack on the strikers
from four lines OF hose. 1t was al
this place that the shots were fired
The shots were fired into the air
il is believed. Finally, after n bitter
struggle. in which many were injured,
the mob was driven back. 1t headed
up the canal toward other mills.
Later the Mayor and City Council
reported the situation to Adjutant
General Pierson at Boston. and he at
once ordered two additional compa-
nies OF militia to proceed 10 Lawrence.
The reinforcements consist of one COM
pany from Haverhill and one from
Lowell.
When thirty prisoners taken in to-
I days riot were taken to police head
quarters il was found that every one
of them was armed with revolver. ra-
zor or stiletto. Fearing that an at
tempt might be made TO rescue the
prisoners a guard from Company +.
of the local militia was thrown around
the police station.
Thirty-one arrests had been made
up TO IL o'clock.
The militia was able to disperse the
crowd. Many OF the soldiers went TO
attend a meeting at Ford Hall. while
the soldiers remained on guard in the
mill district.
Fifteen Pinkerton men. under JO-
seph p. Colbert. superintendent of the
Boston office, reached here today and
