less than four days' supply of coal
i of]**!** for tho running of the pumping
stations of the Brooklyn waterworks,
and unless more coal comes before
Thursday or Friday, the pumping
station may have to close down.

way from South Araboy, N. J. The
captain says he was awakened by men I

A soft coal famine, on the heels of .
Gie present anthracite coal famine. J
according to the coal dealers, is now i
impending, and is likely to strike this 1 1
city in a few days. While the siding j
along the raikoads aro choked up with
thousands of cars of soft coal, very 1 '
little of It is reaching the city, and j I
the price of soft coal Is increasing day
i.y day. The soft eoal operators have I
appealed to President Cassatt. of the j'
Pennsylvania railroad, to try to bring
the coal to this city.
Scarcity of motor power is given as
the cause of the delay in shipment.
Prospects are that, in case the coal
strike continues until winter sets in,
the gas companies will have great difficulty
in turning out the normal cuppiy.
In Manhattan borough the gas company
is manufacturing about <>0,00.1,000
feet of gas a day. and is aide to 3o
adjust its plants that either soft or
nard ccal ran be used to advantage.
The Rrooklyn Gas company is not
so situated, however, and is buying all
the anthracite available.
MONUMENTS IN DANGER.
Prompt Attention Needed to Save Historic
Edifices In Venice.
New York, Oct. 7.?Discussing Signer
ltoni's work in connection witli

church of St. Mark, ih-* Dodge's !>al
ace, the Procuratier Vecchio, the Zecca
and the churches of Santa Maria
Glorlora, Dei Fraud and St. Giovani K
Palo need prompt attention, if catastrophes
are to be averted.
In St. Marks there is a crack in the
great arch of the apocalypse and the
arch sags downward almost a foot. It
is expected that it will he necessary
to remove all the mosaics of the arch
and that tho brick wall will have to be h
more solidly constru t.d. 1

hat this i3 net surprising, seeing that
cno of the chief internal wall3 was

for an elevator for the heavier books
iu the Blblioteca Marciana.
In the Procuratier Vccchie. there
are serious cracks, caused probably

WIRES AND ROPES ARE CUT.
Strikers Boarded Car, Attacked Nonunion
Motormcn, Smashed Windowo
and Created .Disorder Generally.
Emergency Police Sworn In.
New Orleans, Oct. 8.?Violence started
with the first attempt of the Rail
ways company to carry out the orders
of the mayor and tun its cars today.
Just before 7 o'clock the company
started out three cars from the barn
on Canal street.
On each car manned by nonunion
moto.mcn, theTe was a large force of
policemen. Large crowds of strikers
and sympathizers were on the
streets. When the cars reached Mlro
street the tracks were blockaded, and
when they came to a stop a large moo
attacked them. Wires and ropes
weie cut and the cars were boarded.
A pistel shr.t was fired and the nonunion
motorir.an attacked. One of
them was badly cut. The police
seemed unable to cope with the situation.
When the rioting spent itself the
three cars were left standing on tho
track guarded by policemen. All the
windows in them were smashed, and
they were otherwise damaged. F. H.
Schwenck, of Chicago, a conductor",
was the man who was most badly beaten.
The mob of strikers captured
Schwenck and his motorman, and both
consented to join tue union. Some (
01 the policemen were hurt by flying
stones. The indications are that the
company has Imported a number of
men from other cities.
As soon as news of the rioting
reached the city hall the mayor issued
a call for a meeting of the police

ject is to swear in emergency police- *
men and to make it plain to the regular
force that the board expects every
man to do his full duty.
High officers of the militia are 4n the
city preparing themselves in the event
of a call for troops. Governor Hear-.l
will only order out the militia when i
he io notified by Mayor Capedevillo
that the situation has gotten beyond
the control of the municipal authori- |
ties.
Mayor Capdevielle visited police 1
headquarters and conferred with Chief I
Journee after the Tioting. The chief
said that as the company had temporarily
abandoned the attempt to op- 1
erate cars on the Canal line, the situ- 1
ation had quirted down.
An immense multitude of people, in. J
eluding strikers and their sympathiz- ,
ers, is gathering at Elk Place and Canal,
and without greater protection
than is likely to be furnished by the
poll?e, there is no likelihood that the
company will run cars on Canal street "
today.
At union headquarters it was announced
that the headquarters will be
open to receive any offers of negotiation
looking to a settlement of the
trouble.
J. H. Eidson, of St. Ixmis, said to be J
connected with a detective agency in .
that city, was one of ?
Ing the rioting. FJldson very plucklly
climbed on top and adjusted tho
trolley polo when it was first pulled
down. The mobs made a rush for
him when he descended, but the police
managed to protect him, and he was .
taken to the Central station in a patrol
wagon, hootod and jeered at by a
multitude. Eldson said he had heen
employed by the company and had :
brought 20 men with him from St. .
r.cuis. He said, he desired to return
to the Canal barn and repeat the attempt
to take cut cars.
