At street, Jersey City, tho elevated of tha Delaware, Lackawatina Western rnllroad cross Grove street, Omxwite, on Grove street, a knot of the strikers stood Idly during the afternoon. Oil tlifl track embankment wore a dowm Pinkor- ton men 1 botow tho latter was a strotch of meadow land. Ice hod formed on it, and a crowd of boys and claying. Some wore on skates, some hud Lil nil woro having a merry time.

The looked at the Pinkertou men indifferently. Homo mischievous boys on the ico hooted nt the special policemen. Then one or two, bolder than tho others, began to throw smnll pieces of ico up at the embankment. The officers paid little attention to It until one sturdy youth, whose aim wns better than his companions, struck one of tho piiikcrton mon hi tho breast. The man who was struck drow his revolver and shouted to the crowd of children to stop their firing.

No sooner Imd ho spoken than a heavy pieco of Ice landed on tho mouth of ft fellow olllcer, loosening his teeth. Ho clapped his hand to his faco with a cry ot pain. When ho withdrew tlio hand It was covered with blood. Then four revolvers sprang from as many pockets, and four shots rang sharply out in tho frosty air. Tho men had flrod Into tha children on the Ice below them.

In terror the youngsters flod in nil directions. All but one Httlo fellow. He lay gtrutchcd out on the ico and did not move. There was ragged hole in his forehead, just ubove tho right eye, from which blood slon'ly oozed. Tho knot of strikers across tho street rushed to the pond of ice.

The Piukerton men scrambled down tho embankment at the same strikers and officers met where the little fellow Iny. Every Pinkorton man drew his revolver nnd faced the stern, indignant faces of tho half dozen cool handlers. Then one of tho former blew a sin-ill noto upon a whistle. In two minutes there was score of Pinkurtdn men on the scene. They came running from the coal docks, a block or two away.

Thus reinforced the specials slowly drove the strikers from tho pond. The latter did not resist AVlien the pond had been cleared the Tinker- ton men returned to where tho small white tttce the boy stared up to the now darkening The ragged hole in his forehead was clogged with, blood. Two of tho men bout over him, and one placed his baud on the boy's heart. He was dead. Men, women and children flocked from the em-rounding tenements to tho pond.

They weHo met by. solid liiiefe of Pinkorton men and driven back-to tho sidewalks. The dead boy remained where he had fallen. Then there was a cry from the crowd: "Here they come! Hero's the policel" i Inspector Lango, at the head of forty Jer- 'sey City blucigoatRJ came 7 hurrying up and Hook possession' of tho body. The Piukerton men quietly yielded to the authority of the newcomers and tell back.

As they prepared to depart from the scent) several mon ran up to Inspector IJauge and told him how the shooting hod been done. He gave an order to his men and the specials were surrounded. "I may Want 'some of you," said the Inspector, "Don't go yet." Three of them, Samuel A. Noff, Patrick Sheeny arid Daniel Cahlll, were placed under arrest. Those-mon were identified by people in the crowd as the ones who had fired upon the Later in the day Morty Moriarty was arrested as one of the shooters.

James Stewart, Henry Carlson, James McCaffrey, Theodore Fitch, G. H. Bahrenberg, Benjmnln Robinson, Michael Long and Thomas Burns came forward and told the inspector that they were witnesses. Undertaker Miolmol Boy Ian removed the tboy followed the and were uttered against the Pinkertbu men. At ths undertaker's tlio body was recognized as that of Thomas Hogan, IU, years old.

It was taken to his father's home. Hogau, the elder, is employed at the, grain elevator of the Pennsylvania railroad. He returned from work In time to see his boy takon, home a corpse. Hogan was nearly frantic with grief. Around the house a great crowd gathered.

Bhecky and Cahill were taken to station by Inspector Lange aud then e.aoh oue was found a long handled navy revolver. These weapons wero completely loaded. The Inspector drew the charges and locked up the prisoners. They had very little to say for themselves, other than that they did not do the shooting. "It evident that we haven't the right man," said Inspector Lange.

Michael Long is a peddler and lives close by tho spot where Hogan was killed. Ho said that he was not interested in the strike in any way, but ho had watched the actions of the Pinkerton men, "Tue other day," ha continued, "I saw Willifliii Maguire, one of the strikers, passing the railroad trade, lie was not interfering or saying anything to ony one. Several I'inUortoti men sot upon him and, after beating him with their clubs, throw him down the embankment," the witnesses to tho shooting claim to be able to Identify tho four men who fired upon tbe children. One of them B.iitl that ho believed it was one of the throe now in custody who fired tbo fatal shot. "When one of those meu break the law," he said, "bis companions change clothing with him so that he cannot be identified.

A stiff sow'weslcv ing seemed to havo blown tho water down tho lakt; and, jiacking the ice, upheaved it. The older mon read in the dread words a ter- rihln fate nnd mftds thnfr way to land.

Taking tho cue, the others followed. The ice at the entrance to the harbor ami (ilmig tlu; south shore drifted down tho river, Icnv- Inj; large spaces of open water between tho hanly fishermen and land. A largo number ranched shore in but many are believed have perished. Anxious watchers tho Inke and river trying to discover some signs of llfn on the many floatlus; cakes of ico.

Two fishermen who made tholr way to land reported having passed a mnn several miles out who was seemingly Injured. They attempted to bring him witli them, but failod, and wore obliged to abandon him In order to save themselves. A telegram from Darby, N.

to the chiof of police states that two men and team who woro engaged in cutting at Sturgeon point, twolvo miles above bore, arc missing. This is the earliest breakup ever had on this end of tho lake and was a surprise to everybody. AH sorts of rumors are rifo, and it Is not believed that tho total loss of life will bo known for several The fishing grounds extend up about twelve miles and many mon wore nt the upper end.

NEW HAVES. Jan. For somo tlmopast thei-o has been a decided coohiess batAveen the Connecticut grand lodge of Freemasons and old Hiram lodge of this city. Tho grand lodge was anxious to exorcise the same jurisdiction over Hiram that it has over other subordinate lodges, Hiram lodge argued. that the grand lodge had no jurisdiction over it, inasmuch as the supreme body itself Is much younger than Hiram.

Tho latter body was organized in 1750, and received its first charter from the Uassachuset.ts grand lodge. Tbo Connecticut grand lodge has just cofti- ploted its ninety-ninth year of existence. It is said that tho secret work of Hiram differs from that authorized by the grand lodge, The difficulty seems to have culminated when tho grand lodge, which has been holding its annual communication in thin city, deposed the three, leading officers of Hiram on account of their failure to 'comply 'with tbo requests, riot to say commands, of the grand body.

It is well known that nearly every man employed in the navy yard belongs to the Knights, aud the fight which has thus been inaugurated with tiie government will be with great interest, STARVING GAME BIRDS.
