Situation in Brooklyn. Strikers Playing a Double Game, and the Companies Receiving Attacks on Every Side. BROOKLYN, Jan. 29.-The strikers are playing a doable game. Through counsel, they have appealed roe th At? torney General to move against the Brooklyn Heights Company to revoke the charter for failing to operate the road; through the agenoy of lawless mobs they have continued cutting wires, assaulting non-union employees, block? ing tracks and otherwise preventing the cars from operating. On the one band they invoke the law of the land; on the other they defy it even though there are 3,000 troops here to aid the police in preserving or.der. Were the pro? ceedings in the courts brought by citi? zens acting in good faith for the benefit of the community, the officers of the company would undoubtedly be uneasy as to the result. They now treat the matter lightly and will make answer that the very men who ask the aid of the law are themselves law-breakers, whose acts have made necessary the calling out of the National Guard. The withdrawal of the First brigade was followed by many small disturb? ances President Lewis declared witb much emphasis that ic was a serious mistake to withdraw the brigade. He said that he had received anonymous in? formation thar if the remaining troops are disbanded, sheol will break loose. He hid a body guard of detectives about his person and President Norton never moves without an armed guard at his side. On the ofher hand, Gen. McLeer and other officials believe that quiet is restored and turbulence at au end. Master Workman Connelly still insists that the strikers are oot beaten. There are no signs of trouble in their ranks. Only a few of them have made personal applications. The formal tender of their services by Mr. Con? nelly was a move upon which to base an application for a new writ of man damns. This was made against the Atlantic Avenue Company to-day and was the first proceeding in court against that company. Similar steps are to follow against the Brooklyn Heights Company and Queens County and Suburban. The Brooklyn Heights was served with formal notice ia the man? damus proceedings against them. They have twenty days to answer They have also to appear before the Attorney General at Albany to-morrow in the application for action looking to the f neirure of their charter, in addition to this, warrants are to be applied for to-morrow before Judge Tighe for the arrp'if cr officers of that line for violat? ing rhe ten-hour law. One motorman has made affidavit that he was forced to work eleven hours and six minutes for the company. Violation of the ten hour law is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500 for each offense or imprisonment for three months. There are 1,600 employees who threaten to bring action. Still farther proceedings which are on the programme are suits hy each ex-employee for one week's salary and suits for damages by mer- j chants, whose business has been pros tra red. While the strikers are pulling these strings to give trouble to the oompa- j nies and force them to surrender, there are other complications The board of alderman are seeking for some means of demolishing the companies, the labor organizations have decided not to' ride in their cats, thc grand jury is looking into the loss of life and limb due to violations of the laws regu? lating speed of cars, the board of arbi? tration has gone to Albany to re? port upon the causes of the strike and a new committee from the Legislature is on its way to investigate the whole ! matter. All io all, the lot of the trolley ! magnate is not a happy one. The companies made a good showing in the number of oars run and lines operated to-day. They have shown that j all, they need is time to engage and break in new men and protection for the men and property of the roads. Snow and cut wires io the early morn? ing gave them some trouble, but by noon two-thirds of the number of cars operated previous to the strike were in operation. Cars ran close to sched? ule or later at night than it has been at? tempted in two weeks. The long threatened action before the Attorney General to annul the charter of the Brooklyn Heights railroad took a shape to-day. Congressman William Sulzer, James A. Deuniston and Delos McCurdy, counsel for the strikers made formal application to Attorney General Hancock yesterday asking him to begin proceedings to dissolve the Brooklyn Heights company and to appoint a receiver to wind up its af? fairs. The Attorney General served notice oa President Lewis by wire last night, and to-day William Sulzer arrived from Albany with the formal papers. The notice is as follows : "Application was made to me this morning by William Sulzer, James A Dennison and Delos McCurdy, repre? senting certain citizens of this State to commence an action against your road, s [ have adjourned the hearing until \Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Pa? pers are to be served on you Tuesday moirning T. E. HANCOCK, V Attorney General.'7 A CHIVD CRUSHED BY A TROL LE?" ??AR NEARLY CAUSES A RIOT. BROOKLYN! N. Y.. Feb. 1.-This i morning a big pole holdiog 29 feed wires was cut down at Third avenue ; and 29th street, blocking traffic on the i road. The po!e which was sawed off in ! falling threw ali the strain of the heavy i wires on the iron posts, leaving to sway. Thomas Cassiday, John Mur? phy and Thos. Brennan, strikers, were arrested charged with cutting thc pole. Samuel Bleacby, 12 years old, while on his way to school this morning, was j crushed to death by a trolley car ou Nestran avenue, near Butler street. The car became unmanageble and ran the boy down. Motorman Orlando j Worthington, of Syracuse, N. Y , and Conductor Fielding of Pennsylvania, wera arrested. A crowd gathered and j tried to lynch the motorman. The trial of President Norton of the Atlantic avenue line on the charge of wrongfully using the sign "United j States Mail," on his cars began to-day. j ! Counsel for Mr. Norton admitted that j I the cars of the company have bad the j mail signs placed on them in cases j i where mail was not carried He said j I the company's contract with- govern- j j ment called for 19 mail cars and this I number of cars had the signs placed on ! j them, and these cars made trips some j times without carrying the mail.* One car was used exclusively for ? carrying the mails, was built for that j purpose. The others carried the mail j j whenever occasion required. The m*?il ' signs were put on the cars at the sug ' gestion of the Washington postal au- ; thoriries. Postmaster Sullivan testi? fied that the Adams street line of the Atlantic avenue company, on which the mail signs are used, is a mail route, under contract, and that men were sent with mail matter upon any of the cars on the line. The case was not cou- j eluded The application of James O'Connell for an order calling upon the Atlantic Avenue Railroad Company to show cause why they do not ruo the usual number of cara ou their road was ar? gued before Justice Gaynor in Brook? lyn this afternoon. Lawyer White honse, for the company, said that every car that was ?B condition was being run. The other cars, be said, had been dis? abled by strikers, and were in the re? pair shops. Decision was reversed. General Manager Gouodie of the Kings county elevated railway, who surprised most of bis employes wheo the late trol? ley strike began by raising tbe wages . of all the men getting ?1 50 a day or j over, 10 per cent., surprised them again to-day by reducing their salaries to the old rate. Tlie Pardon Mill. Governor Evans, in the light of ex tenuating evidence presented to him, and because of strong petitions, grauted a full pardou to J. W. Youug, a white man, who was convicted of manslaugh ter in Marion county and sentenced to ! J three years and three months io the State penitentiary. The Governor commuted to five j years the sentence of John Johnson. ! colored, who was convicted of arson iu ; Lexington county in February, 1890,J and sentenced by Judge Wallace to i fifteeu years. His five years will ex- ? ?pire shortly. j Revenue Officers Raid.. J GREENVILLE, Jan. 30.-Deputy Coi- j lectors Krider and Bagwell returned to the city to-day from a raid in the | upper part of this couuty. They des- I troyed four large stills and report the | moonshine business booming all 7 through the mountains. They also bring news of another shooting scrape ? in the Dark Corner of this county i Sudduth a well-known blockader, who was tried some time ago for the murder [ of young Henson, got into a row with some of bis fellow blockaders in a baru, i * j and was shot and fatally wounded. Blockade whiskey was at the bottom of the fight. - The State. t ! Chinese Discipline. -- Admiral Lang, of the Chinese ser : vice, tells how one night he returned ! to the deek of the Chinese warship I Ting-Yueu and found it utterly de ; serted The sentry's gua was lyiug j against the bulwarks, but the seutry j himself was invisible. Ti.e Admiral ; proceeded to the stateroom of Admiral : Ting, who is now in command of the Chinese Navy, and found that worthy , deeply engaged iu a game of cards, hi* partner being the sentry. Hage leaped from the eyes of the English officer, and, though he did not say much, the < seutry thought it prudent to return to his duty Then Admiral Lang "weut straight" for bis Celestial confrere, and asked what his strange pi oceed- ; iog rueaot. Admiral Ting took it very calmly, and blandly explained that, all the officers and men being away from the ship that night, he felt lone? some, and having no one else with whom he could while away the time pleasantly, he had !-eut his boy for the sentry to play a quiet rubber, which the entrance of Admiral Lang had interrupted.-New Orleans Pica? yune.

Six weeks ago a jocky brought the contagion to Madison from the Roby since when fifteen cases have I developed. I Call the State Alliance! CRY FOR AN EXTRA MEETING COMES FROM NEWBERRY. The State Farmers' Aliance is likely to be is session in Columbia in ; about a fortnight to consider what j the farmers of the State had best do I to better their condition and to battle j with the 5 cent cotton situation. ? The ball has started, and it will doubtless gather momentum as it j rolls until the unusual sight will be j witnessed of the calling of the j organization together at this time of j the year. The fertilizer problem' is one of the mainsprings which is j actuating the Alliancemen. A gentleman who arrived in the | city from Newberry yesterday even- ! ing brings the intelligence that the j Alliance of that county met yester- ! day morning to discuss the situation, j After talking the matter over the Alliance unanimously adopted r?solu- I tions offered by the Rev. J. A. Sligh, asking the president of the i State Alliance to immediately call a i meeting of that organization, to be; held in Columbia on the third Tues- ! day in this month to consider the ! condition of the farming classes, j devise some uniform plan for helping j the situation, decide what shall be j done about the purchase of fertilizers, ? and see if cheaper rates cannot he j secured Acting upon the feeling of assur- j ance that the meeting would be called, the Newberry Alliance elect? ed as its delegate to the meeting the Rev J A. Sligh and Jos. L. Keitt. This action will doubtless be taken up by other county Alliances at once. It has beeu precipitated, no doubt, by the action of the railroad commis? sion in declining to reduce the ferti? lizer rate. The commission is meantime re? questing all railroads, merchants and fertilizer companies to file with it by next week a schedule of proposed fertilizer rates for next year.-The State. Donning a Veil. It is an accomplishment worth ac? quiring these days when American women are almost as universally veiled as the beauties of the Orient, to put one's veil on successfully that the hair ie held securely in position, the veil itself does not droop below the hat brim at any point, and neither i hangs loose nor drags across the face rendering a wink inconveniet and the i nose a martyr to the tickling sensa? tion which every wearer of a veil knows. Hali the beauty of the veil, or, more strictly, the enhancement of j beauty which the veil gives, is due to ? the way it is put on Worse than no i veil at all is the veil put on before ! the bonnet is assumed, as one fashion ! writer recommends. The filing mesh-1 es, pressed closely against the face and hair, leaves no room for the charming, illusory effect which is the veil's chief "excuse for being''. The j first requirement in a veil is that it shall be of unstinted size, double width, unless it is to be worn with a very small bonnet, a yard long, so j that it may be gathered up in gen- ! erous folds over the hat brim and ! pinned- a veil should not be tied-! well up at the back of the hat. A j better fit and a prettier effect is giv-1 en by a little cluster of gathers di- j rectly in the middle of the front, lt is to be hoped that women will some ; time leam that veils figured with j sprigs, or, indeed, anything but un-j obstuctive dots, are never becoming, j and make them look, as a man was j heard to remark the other day, "as if j their faces were covered with flies/' j A CHINESE LOVE LETTER, j The "06tasiaticher Lloyd," an au? thority on Chinese matter, in a recent article on the manner of lovemaking in the flowery kingdom, publishes I the following letter from a man who desired the daughter of a neighbor as I a wife for lu's son: "On my knees I beg you not to j despise this cold and common request but to listen to the words of the mat j rimonial agent and give your houor- ' able daughter to my slave of a son, | so that the pair, bound by silken threads, may have the greatest joy In the beautiful spring time I shall ; offer wedding presents and give a j couple of geese. And let us hope for ; long and continuous fortune and look forward through endless gener? ations to the fulfillments of genuine love. May they sing ot' plenty and have every joy. On my knees 1 beg you to consider my proposal favor- j ably and throw the mirror-like glance 1 of your eyes on these lines. " To this letter the father of the j bride replied that he would "attend to the portion of hit? poor and pov e ty-stricken daughter, that she might not be without bedclothes, cotton clothing, hairpins and ear? rings Therefore it was to bc hoped that the couple would have constant fortune." It may surprise some to learn that thc cultivation of tobacco is so exten? sively pursued iu some of thc Northern States. Last year Ohio raised 32,000, OOO pounds, l'euusylvauia 26,000,000 and Connecticut 10.000,000, Wiscon- j sin 15,000,000, New York 7.000.Ooo, and Massachusetts about 3,500,000 pounds. Riotous Law Makers. BEPBESENTATIVES ATTEMPT TO FIGHT ON THE FLOOR. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-A very gray bain-d mao violently struggled io the arms of several men to reach another man standing facing him amid almost indescribable confusion, while epithets of "liar" and "scroundrel'* were ban? died between the two combatants, was ; a scene on the floor of the House of Representatives this afternoon, those engaged therein being members of j that distinguished and honorable body. ! Hawaii, which has been the occasion ? of some of the most tumultuous scenes j witnessed in the Fifty-third Congress, j was the indirect cause of to-day's alter- j cation between Messrs. Heard (Dem.) ' of Missouri and Breckenridge (Dem ) . of Kentucky, surpassing iu sensational ; features anything seen on the floor of; the House for years. It was brought about by an effort by j Mr. Heard to cut off debate on a reso- ; lution reported trom the committee on j foreign affairs by Mr Hit:, (Dem) of Illinois asking for information respects | ing the connection of British subject-1 with the recent attempted revolution | in Hawaii, at a time when Mr. Breck? enridge was attempting to get the floor to speak on the resolution. Mr Heard was anxious to proceed with the cou- ! sideration of District of Columbia busi- ! ness, for which the day had been set j apart. and demanded the previous f question. Mr. Breckenridge went over i to Mr. Heard 's seat and was seen to engage in a heated conversation with him, of which only the words "liar" and "scroundrel" could be hoard more j than a few feet. Then the burly aud venerable looking Kentuckian was seen j to lunge forward to strike Mr. Heard, ( but several members threw themselves upon bim and prevented a collision by a severe struggle. Both gentlemen j were ordered under arrest by the Speak? er, and appeared later at (he bar of the House, where they made explanations, which ended the incident for the time being. Mr. Heard's statement j was not satisfactory to Mr Breckin ridge, and common friends undertook j to adjust the difficulty. The result of i their labors was shown later in the day, when Mr. Heard rose and stated that as his friends were of the opinion that he had not withdrawn the language offensive to Mr. Breckinridge after that gentleman bad disclaimed the language which gave him (Heard) j offense, he would then do so. saying he had intended to do so in the first instance. Thereupon Mr. Breckin? ridge expressed his satisfaction, re? newed his apologies to the House for creating the scene, and begged the j pardon of all concerned. The whole matter was, on motion of Mr. Good? night (Dem.) of Kentucky, ordered to he omitted from the rec- -d. Has No ?qual Hood's Ci vos Health and Strength tc the Aged X "C.
