SENDING THE MILITIA HOME £'wo Regiments Relieved from Strike Duty in Brooklyn, ONE SMALL RIOT DURING THZ DAY Pollce Fired Into the Crowd and One Man—Wire Cutters € Ie Work—Old Men Seek- Ing Employment. Wounded tinue n So peaceful is the that the authorities have relleved a portion of the military from duty, perinitting the venth and Seventy-first regiments and the First battery to return to New York. The three street railway com- panies involved report cars running on all but a fow of the least important lines. The num ber of cars run today is reported to be 674 the usual number belng 1,000, It that twenty of the strikers went work on the Brooklyn Helights cars today. The managers of the strike pro fess to believe the companies will yet be abliged to make terms. H. B. Martin of Minneapolis, one of the members of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, has been in consultation with Master Workman Connoly at Mudge's hall during the day. Mr. Martin declared to an Assoclated press reporter that the strike is as far from its termination as it was sev- oral days ago. My colleagne, Thomas B. McGuire of the exceutive board, and myself intended to leave Brooklyn tomorrow morning, but will stay here for some time, as we find that the state of affairs requires our presence. The com- panies will be so worried by legal proceedings from this forward that they won't know where they are. 1 believe the men will win tho strike, and very soon.” When asked If his letter to the presidents was not a_ virtual admission that the strike was off, Mr. Connoly sald: “By no means. w 1l _continue the fight so long as the sompany holds ont against us. There is no truth in the rumor that the strike is off. It is 8till on, you may rest assured.” “What time limit do you give the company to give an answer?”’ “We have et no limit of time, but leave the offer open o that the company may ac- copt it or reject it.” PRESENT EMPLOYES WILL STAY. President Lewis of the Brooklyn Helghts Railroad_company forwarded an answer to Master Workman Connoly's letter, offering that the men return to work, in which he says: I beg leave to say that the company will not in any case discharge any of its present employes to make room for others, but will be glad to accept the services of as many of its ol employes as are needed to fill the vacancies in its service upon the terms stated in the advertisement, a copy of which is given below and which has appeared in_the newspapers for the past few days: ‘Men desiring employment may make application at any of our depots. Such applications will be sent immediately to the company's general office, where they will be considered in the order In which they are made. Wire cutting was continued on the Fulton and Broadway lines near East New York this afternoon. No prisoners were taken, but the increasing crowds in this section led to the sending out of military guards under command of sergeants with the re- pair wagons and the working towers. At the Fulton avenue stables fifteen of the old men applied for reinstatement this afternoon, and they will be put to work tomorrow morning. No organized trouble is expected, and the strikers are now wear- ing badges bearing the inscription: “I am an ex-conductor” o ‘ex-motorman, but am no rioter,” ‘and théy are urging all enthu- siasts to keep order. serious riot, .in which & number of shiots were fited by policemen, and in which oné wan was probably wounded, occurred this evening at Nostrand avenue and the boulevard. A crewd of 200 dragged the motorman and conductor from the car and were beating them when Roundsman Farrell and three patrolmen came to the rescue. The police charged, using their clubs with 80od effect;’ and succeeded in scattering the crowd. A few seconds later the mob re- turned to the fight, and Officer Forbes, who was on duty on the car, drew his gun and fired a shot at the strikers. The other policemen also dréw their guns and opened flre on the mob. Stones, bricks and other missiles fell in showers. Several of the police were hit and slightly injured Michael Madrigan, 32 years of age, received a bullet wound in the left side. He was removed to the hospital, where he now lies in a precarious condition. LIVELY TIMES SEEM LIKEL Notwithstanding the withdrawal of the First brigade and the reports that the strike had been declared off, there was a very lively time In the viclnity of Ridgewcod tonight. Things quieted somewhat by nightfall, but hostilities were begun once more at § o'clock. A States avenue car was nearing Hamburg strect when two men jumped on the rear platform and threw the conductor off. The strangers then leaped off and a crowd gath- ered. The police gave chase and fired a dozen shots at tho fugitives. A man named Livermore, an electrician in the employ of the company, was shot in the leg during the fusilade, and was taken in an ambulance to St. Catherine’s hospital. The police had a hand tussle with the assembled rioters and fought with clubs and revolvers. Fully a dozen of the attacking party were injured. ‘The police then raided OAd Fellows' hbali again, and by a free use of their sticks, which they swung right and left, quickly drove the strikers from their headquarters. One hundred and fitty men of the Forty- seventh regiment were in the depot during the melee, but the police subdued the bel- ligerents without calling on the militla.

The fire was at Seventeenth and Hickory streets in Al Elmiger's house and while descending the stalrs, which were wet and slippery, the cehief slipped and fell in such a manner as to injuro his spine. He suffered much pain during the remainder of the day and that evening he wus taken (o his rooms and a physician summoned, who discovered that the chief was suffering from a concussion of the spine. He has been growing worse, and yesterday his condition was such as to cause his frends to become anxious, although they hope that he will soon recover. The chief did not feel his injuries at first and it is thought that he does not fully realize how badly he was Injured. Assistant Chiefs Salter and Barnes and the members of the fire depatmeat are giving their chief every possible attention.

REHEARSED DEBS' SPZECH IN THE UNION Threatened to Cat Off the Puallman Cars from Al Trains Unless the Company Yielded—Howard Was Opposed to the Eoycott, CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—~The first d on the stand by the government Debs trial today was Wallace Rice, witness in a l the reporter for the Chicago Herald and a mem- | ayd they ber of local union way union at b of the American Rail- Pullman. His examination was conducted by Bdwin Walker. Rice was led by the questions of the govern- ment's counsel to relate the proceedings of the American Railway unfon convention of 23 last, the plan of the prosecution being to show that the conspiracy began at that convention, and every step taken by the convention was a link in the chain of Mr. Rice said that Mr. Debs' opening speech at the convention con- gratulated the unlon that its organization was the first not of a distinct class in its character and included all branches of the rallroad employes, and as such it was des- tined to overcome and absorb all others, which were not adapted by the mature of their organization to successfully combat rallroads. It would become so strong that no corporation dare assail it, and would be able to dictate its own terms. The Pullman strike and the condition of the workmen, he sald, were first brought to the attention of the convention on June 15 by a_member of the local union at that place. Mr. Debs opened the subject on the part of the union In a speech in which he denounced Puliman's corporation as a _monu- mental monstrosity—an octopus—and said the time had come to stop It. Pullman had hoisted the black. flag of consp..acy and he, Debs, proposed to sink it and cut off the - Mlman cars from the rallroads. This speech was received with cheers, George Howard had followed Mr. Debs and thrown a wet blanket over the discussion by opposing the boycott proposition. He said the union was not strong enough to make ,a successful fight. The result was the appointment of a committee to wait on Mr. Wickes to secure arbitration. The com- mittee reported that Mr. Wickes refused to treat with them and said the company had nothing to arbitrate. The entire matter was referred to the board of directors. On the 21st the board reported in favor of giving Mr. Pullman five days in which to arbitrate under penalty of cutting out his cars from all the rallroads. After the adoption of this resolution, Mr. Debs said if any railroad attempted to enjoin the union from interfering with the Pullman cars the entire system of that road would be tied up. DECLARING THE STRIKE. On the evening of June 26 the strike was inaugurated at a mass meeting in the Em- pire theater. Mr. Debs delivered an address in which he again referred to the Pullman company as a monumental octupus. Debs said the strike was to be a battle to the death and it meant either the extirpation of the general manager's assoclation or that of the union. Howard advised the men to take a lesson from the railroads and combine and said any man who refused to stand by the strikers was a scab. The witness then related the manner of conducting the strike. A guard stood out- side Mr. Debs' private office and no one was admitted during the receipt of telegrams until after the close of the day's business, when reporters were permitted to copy the telegrams, The government rested the examination of this witness and_Mr. Darrow took p the cross xamiriation for the defénse. The greater part. of the time' was taken ‘up re- viewing the proceedings of the convention. “You were a witness before the grand jury in Milwaukee, were you not?” asked Darrow. “Yes."” “Did you mot travel to Milwaukee on a pass 2" “I did.” “Do you not know that you and Mr. Miller violated the Interstate commerce law?"” ‘‘No. Mr. Rice's cross examination was continued this afternoon. The government elghty-six witnesses. TELEGRAM FROM DEBS. John Penda, an employe of the Rock Island, followed Rice. He exhibited a tele- gram which he had received June 30, signed Debs, saying: “Order out all men of the Rock Island system; enforce Pullman boy- cott. All men joining will receive protec- tion.” He sald he was a switchman in the yards of the Illinois Central last June, was chair- man of the grievance committee for the American Railway union of the Illinols Cen- tral and had organized most of the Chicago lodges. He sald he had recelved an order June 26 to call out the men on the road. He volunteered the information that he had gone out on the track after he had tied up the gates by getting the men to quit and flagged down James B. King's engine, When asked to relate what transpired be- tween him and King the defense entered an objection, which raised the point of the ex- tent of the government's authority to inter- rogate witnesses to secure events not named in the indictments. If the court de- cides agalnst the prozecution in this point it will materially lessen its chances of prov- ing a conspiracy. The defense objected on the ground that what the witness had said to another was irrelevant matter. That he had recelved certain positive Instructions, and that he had carried them out, and that beyond that the government could not inquire into acts of the witness unless the acts relate to some overt act committed In pursuance to the conspiracy charged in the Indictment. After listening for some time to the at- torneys Judge Grosscup said that the point was very important, and that he would hear arguments upon It tomorrow.

The annual meeting of the Prospect Hill Cemetery association was held last night in the parlors of the Commercial National bank bullding. It was one of the best attended meetings in the history of the association, and the contest over the election of trustees was a spirited one. In the year 1804 the annual meeting was overlooked on account of the absence of the secretary, and the business for the two years came before the members of the association last night, Henry Pundt, whose term of office as trustee has expired, held over for one year, and it was necessary to elect two trustces last night, one for the term of six years and another for a seven year term. C. A. Baldwin was elected to the seven year term and Henry Pundt to the six year term. Secrelary Catlin read his annual report, which was a lengthy one, and contalned many suggestions for the improvement of the property controlled by the association. M. Catlin ~ stated that this was the close of the fifth year of the association’s existence, and while it had a prosperous past it would be well to consider the plans for the future. Fiy years ago devastation, neglect and disgrace held full and uninterrupted sway in Prospect Hill cemetery. Today system, good order and cleanliness prevail. Heretofore the association had been clean- ing away the rubbizh and laying the founda- tion for systematic and aggressive work on the lines of permanent improvement, which the association is now ready to take up. The report stated that while Prospect Hill cemetery was regarded as a beautiful spot, yet aside from its natural beauties and the sightliness of its location it was exceedingly crude and with a few of the costly monu- ments removed it would be nothing more than an ordinary country graveyard. To remedy all this and make permanent im- provements that would be in keeping with what it should be it was suggested that a permanent fund be provided to carry on the work. The association had not been able in the past ments, which visable. The associa to make thess fmprove- Wepg deemed necessary and ad- 38 u] recently came Into pos- sossion of that portion of land, formerly a part of the cemetery, located between the present cemeteyy.gnd Parker street on the south and extdnMhg from the east line of the cemetery to Thirty-third street on the west. The deed has already been executed, and the trandf of “this valuable strip of land has been andde by the heirs of the late Byron Reed. i, these valuable acquisi- tions it was ”3 yght there would be un- bounded confide! %n of the public in the be- lief that the association would be able to make the cemetery one of the most at- tractive In the wektern country. The mat- ter of permanemt improvements was taken up at some length and discussed quite freely. 1t was proposed that the new strip of land should be immediately platted and placed on the market for sale, as the lots here would be considered the most desirable would soon be disposed of, and the money derived from the sales could be used in making further improvements in the cemetery. The proposition was advanced to have the association own its water worl which would cost but a comparatively small sum, perhaps not to exceed $1,200, and this amount of money expended in that direc- tion, it was thought, would furnish a water supply sufficlent to meet all the demands for years A public recelving vault is among the near possibilities in the way of improvements, and a permanent entrance, bullt of stone, with fron doors. An effort will be made to have the street car company extend its lines to the grounds, in order that the pub- lic may have means by which the cemetery can bo reached without the inconveniences which now exist. The report of the finan- cial department was read by the secretary and showed the following: Recelpts for the year, 1804, $2,830.35; disbursements, $2,832.05; balance in the treasury, $7.30. The reserve fund contains in moneys and securities $1,900. A meeting will be held at the same place on the last Monday in February at 8 p. m., for the purpose of considering proposed amendments to the by-laws governing the assoctation. et JUDGES WON FOR THE SHORT HORSE.

A new year. It the architects complete plans in time it Is thought bids for the construction of the new home of the drama in the Nebraska metropolis at Fifteenth and Harney streets will be invited within the next fifteen days, and by March 1 the work of construction is to be begun, or as near that time as the frost will permit excavation. The name of the new home of dramatic art will be The Creighton Theater, as was predicted by The Bee last Sunday, and the opening is fixed for Thursday, August 20. All this was settled yesterday at a full meeting of the board of directors of the Creighton Theater Building association. But the work of the board did not end here by any means, a resolution being introduced and carried unanimously that the new theater building with its complement of stores and hall for various purposes should be under the management of W. A. Paxton, jr. and W. J. Burgess, a lease to that effect having later in the day been entered into by these gentlemen. This gives the necessary assur- ance that the theater will be managed upon a plane commensurate with the ability that at least one of the managers has shown in times past in this city. Mr. Paxton Is one of the rising business men of the state, but until now has had no conncetion with the theater, except as " enthisiastic *“first nighter,” who hasn't missed a show since he was able to face a box office and lay down the money for a seat. As for Mr. Burgess, his multitude of friends will be delighted with his success in securing a joint lessee- ship in the new theater. He has won recognition among theatrical managers as a_careful, shrewd director of popular amusements, He is affable in the front and rear of the house, and as the active manage- ment of the theater will probably devolve upon Mr. Burgess, the bookings being en- tirely in his hands, the friends of the drama in Omaha need feel no uneasiness that their pleasure will be slighted under the new. regime theater is assured for Omaha this BEST OF ITS KIND. The house, according to the plans, will be the finest popular priced thieater in America, although an effort is to be made to play the very best attractions there, but according to the chairman of the executive committee, W. A. Paxton, sr., “there will never be an advance in the fixed schedule of prices gov- erning admission to the theater Back of this enterprise are a number of the wealthy and most progressive citizens of Omaha, including J. E. Markel, John A. Creighton, after whom the house is to be named, W. A. Paxton, Guy C. Barton, Charles J. Karbach, Clifford Smith and rep- resentatives of large interests hereabouts. The money necessary for the erection of the new structure has been secured through A. J. Love, representing several eastern firms, and all the details have been completed. “Whether thirteen other theaters are bullt,” sald Mr. Paxton, “you may say that this theater will be bulit and will be under the management of Mr. Burgess and my son. It will be a credit to Omaha and while being designed as a popular priced place of amusement will be second to no theater in the country. Omaha can; and I believe will, support two theaters. The Creighton will be run upon the newest and ‘most advanced - ideas. Nothing will be spared to make it popular with the masses, the common people, who are the backbone of the country today.” It is Mr. Burgess' plan to go to New York shortly with a view to booking next season’s attractions, for he recognizes how necessary it Is to be on the ground early, and, as he says, he proposes to leave no stone unturned that' may redound to the credit of Omaha from a theatrical point of view, and wil give the patrons of The Creighton the best attractions obtainable. —~—~— Loss Was Small.
