Brooklyn Strikers Now in Want of Food.

IHEIR CAUSE A LOST ONE

Starvation Already Confront* Many of the :. Families of the Striken--The Companies Are Illuming Most of Their Lines, and but Few Disturbances Occur—The Strike

the scarcity of cars yesterday one would not have thought that one of the biggest strikes in the history of Brooklyn was iu progress. Churchgoers had to walk to church in many instances or take chances in the enormous crowds which took possession of the cars. Otherwise there was perfect calm. Large crowds assembled around the depot where military guards are stationed, but there was oo violence there and the bantering the troops received was of a good natured kind.

Those in position to draw conclusion* from facts and draw conclusions with out prejudice, say that the strike ii about ended. The companies seem tc be in a position to run their cars. They are not skillfully operated, and through out the day there were many collisions and much bumping together, but there was no accident of a serious nature

The number of cars operated yesterday was slightly over the number running Saturday. Some were without some of their windows and others running with dissipated looking motor boxes and badly twisted dashboards, but most of them are carrying passengers without molestation. The companies did not venture to open any new lines, nor did they seek to run their cross town lines of cars through the Eri' basin district. Many of the inhabitants of that locality are of a turbulent character, and would, the police say. do mischief for the sake of making trouble.

The railroad companies have now become able to operate their lines aftei dusk, and will, if no serious disturbances are made in the future, soon be running them all night as they did before the strike began. The quietness of the strike has been brought about by the strike leaders, who have pointed out to the men the folly of a riotous course. They explained that the state could supply two militiamen for each striker if they were needed, and that mob rule would soon be overthrown by bullets and bayonets. The men heard and understood the requests of the leaders and followed them out.

Starvation already confronts many of the families of the strikers. The men were not well equipped financially when they decided to stop work and the bulk of their funds have been used for the transportation of nonunion men to cities from whence they came to replace the strikers. This alone luus cost the strikerers many thousands of dollars. Storekeeps have been very considerate, but now that they see that the strikers are being replaced from other cities they are loth to give credit and the wives and children of the men out of work are going hungry. Landlords, too, do not enter into the merits of the situation between the strikers and the companies and promises to pay when the strike is ended do not cut much figure with them. The demands for food and for rent have crippled the resources of the strikers and many of them are iu sore straits.

Is About Ended. BROOKLYN, Jan. 28.—Were it not for

ITALIAN MAFIA STILL LIVES. ?i

The Dreaded Society Ha* Again Itegnu Operations in New Orleans. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 28.—The Italian

Mafia has again begun operating in this city. The murder of t-lie Italian, Tony »Chisesi of Chicago, in the Italian quarter of the city Wednesday morning, was •••••followed Saturday by a letter from the

Mafia to one of the wealthiest Italians in the city, demanding $2,000 on pain of assassination. Chisesi was murdered to pe out a debt which he had against wo members of the dreaded association, one of whom had just served a term in the penitentiary. The murderers fled to Tliibodeaux, about 70 miles from the city and have so far eluded capture.

The letter demanding money was to A. Montelone, a large shoe manufacturer, and one of the wealthiest Italians in the city. The letter demanded that he go to Donaldsonville, in the same section of the state as Thibodeaux, and place $2,000 behind a tree in the woods, which would be known by a red rag hanging from one of the limbs. It stated that the woods would be closely watched and advised that no police be brought to the scene. It threatened assassination in case the police were notified.

Montelone was very much frightened, but finally decided to place the matter in the hands of the police and appeal for •'protection. The police and better class of Italians think that it is a genuine letter, and that the Mafia, which has been silent since the lynching, has again sprung into existence.

RUNAWAY AT A FIRE.

A Number of People Injured, Several of Them Quite Seriously. BUFFALO, Jan. 28.—As fire truck No. 6 *Wa,s

responding to an alarm of fire about 7 o'clock yesterday evening, the rear bob of tlio truck caught on a curb at a corner which was being turned, demolished that portion of the truck and precipitating the firemen in all directions. All the men were more or less injured.

The accident frightened the horses and they dashed off at a high rate of speed, smashing into a family sleigh, containing a party of seven, five of whom were children. The sleigh was overturned and all its occupants sustained serious injuries. John Straus, aged 17, had his jaw broken in two places, and Jennie Straus, aged 9, suffered a broken leg. George S. Wolf was seriously injured.

Alleged 31 urderers Arrested. SANTA FK, Jan. 28.—Jose A. Bena-

vidts, Trinidad Ortiz, Czsencio Martinez and another Mexican whose name is not known, have been arrested on the charge cf murdering Thomas Martinez, a stockman at Lamuralla, and burning his body. Sheriff Cunningham says that the shocking nature of the murder of young Martinez can hardly be exaggerated, but refuses to disclose the evidence in his possession as to the perpetrators of the deed. It is understood, .however, that the horse and gun of the murdered man was found in possession ef the parties arrested.

LAKE CTQRM STILL RAGING.

I A# r*Mn *«/X* Abate* «e»itelt Will Be MikdetFar tl»o Cliieora'* Wreck. ,1 BENTON/HARBOR, Mich., *£an. 28.—

The heavy snow and windstorm which spread over this section last Friday .night is still raging in all its fury. Four passenger trains and one freight train on the Big Four railway were stuck in

the drifts about five miles this side of Niles for 24 hours. I It is reported that the early fruit has been damaged by this gale as the early peach buds had gained a slight growth during the recent open weather. The late fruit has not been injured.

The southwesterly winds have brought the large ice fields, which went out into the lake Friday, back to this shore. This harbor, which had just been opened by blasting the ice with dynamite, is again piled with a wall of huge banks of solid ice. The ice fields along the shore near South Haven are reported to have returned and just as soon as the blinding snowstorm ceases, another party of searchers will be set ro work looking for the steamer Chicora's wreck.

When the Chicora went out of St. Joseph on its last trip, there was a dog aboard. Yesterday the dog was brought into the city alive. Tuesday night the dog was heard whining at the door of a roadhouse at Pottowattomie park. It is a snuff colored skye terrier. It was covered with ice. The finder connected the visit of the strange dog, which had evidently just come out of the cold water with the loss of the Chicora, and brought it to this city yesterday.

The dog was immediately recognized by the stevedores who work on the Graham docks, and by the crew of the Petoskey, as the animal that was aboard the Chicora when it left. The dog has been a tramp passenger on the Graham and Morton Transportation company's boat for several months. It has been dividing its time between the Chicora and the Petoskey this winter. No one claims ownership of it, and the nearesc friend of the animal is Captain Griffin of the Petoskey

The return of the animal indicates that the Chicora was within half a mile of the east shore Tuesday evening, the second night out. The dog, it is believed, could not swim more than a quarter of a milo. The place where the dog came ashore, Potti-wattomie park, is eight miles north of here, a lakeside summer resort. Many are inclined to think the vessel must have sunk not far from that point.

•Snceessor to Mr. O'Kourke. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Secretary

Carlisle has about completed the reorganization of the office of the supervising architect of the treasury, and it is understood will soon select a successor to Mr. O'Rourke. The indications now are that none of the applicants for the place will receive the appointment and that Mr. Carlisle will probably tender the position to Mr. Johu M. Carrere of the firm of Carrere & Bestings, 44 Broadway, New York. It is not known whether Mr. Carrere would accept the appointment, but it is thought he can have it if he so desires.

Suspected Train Robbers Arrested. PINE BLUFF, Ark., Jan. 28.—Con

stables brought to this city yesterday and placed in jail two young men said to answer the description of the McNeill cotton belt train robbers. They were beating their way down to Varner, on the Iron Mountain road, when captured. The men, who are each about 20 years old. gave their names as Charles Bucks and Will McLehelt. Both declare their innocence of the charges of train robbery and say they can prove an alibi. They were well dressed and not the appearance of criminals.

Terrible Suffering and Starvation. GRANTSBURG, Wis., Jan. 28.—Reports

from the town of Rusk, this county, confirm the news of terrible sufferings and starvation in that town. One-fifth of the population are without proper food, and a large number of them have not a pound of flour in the house. All the local aid is exhausted, as well as the town funds. Governor Upham has been appealed to. Most of these people are new settlers with large families. Fires destroyed their entire crops and drouth destroyed vegetables and grain.

Death of Judge John Krskine. ATLANTA, Jan. 28.—Judge John Ers-

kine, who was the first United States judge appointed in Georgia after the war, and who held that position until his retirement on account of age, died here yesterc1 ^y, aged 82. He was a native of Ireland, but had lived nearly all his life in Georgia. He was one of the few southern leaders -who advised the people of this seccion to accept the results of the war. He was universally respected and esteemed.

College Building Damaged by Fire. KINGSTON, R. I., Jan. 28.—College

hall, the principal hall of the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, was partially destroyed by fire which broke out in a room on the fourth floor about 10 Sunday morning. The building is of granite, four stories high. The interior was completely burned out, with much of the furniture and other contents. The loss will be $75,000.
