K. Nov. builders section of the Trades Assembly, representing at least two-thirds of ts, local trades union men, met to-night a practically unanimous vote do-, ridrf that the assembly at Its next meeting should raise the boycott against the Schenectady Railway Company. The machinery bunders section Includes thirty-one unions and Involves every Itch trtj union tn the city, having within its sjetnbershtp every man employed In the General Electric and American Locomotive aorxs. Then are sixty-one unions In the Trades Assembly, and this action by a majority practically guarantees that the boycott will be lared off next Wednesday night: The typographical union met to-night and also condemned the boycott.

The promoters were buoyed up with hope frizf by the report that the Albany Ted. erstioa of labor had declared Itself; in sympathy with the boycott, and that the Troy division of Amalgamated Association el Street Railway Employes woult refuse to allow Schenectady cars to be derated fct Troy, but later reports dashed tholr bope to the ground. The conservative ele- sent pointed out that there is nothing tangible in the expression of sympathy on the part or the Albany Federation, and that the continued refusal of the Albany United Trsetion employes to Interfere blocked all bope tor help from that quarter. Tbe Tror division of the- Amalgamated Street Railway Employes will not meet vnul next Wednesday, and tbe assertion itt the radical element there that the Troy En will take a hand Is not borne out by rtattmenta made by a number of the rank and tile, who say that they have no cause lor Interference. The leader of the.

Ellen Gors Killed In the Apartment of I a Young Russian Singer Lstter oyi it was an Acciaenu PARIS, Nov. 21. Ellen Gore, an Amer ican, was killed by a revolver shot on Wednesday in; the apartment occupied, by ean de Rydsenskl, a singer of the Imperial Theatre of St Petersburg. De Ryd- senakl at first said that Miss Gore committed suicide. but subsequently be de clared that the revolver went oft accident ally.

United States Consul General Gowdy Is personally Investigating the death of Miss Gore, who waa completing her musical ed ucation here. Mr. so far has shown that Miss Gore arrived In Parts last Aug. 23 apd registered at a boarding bouse 11 Avenue.de la Grande Armee. In the fash- tonable Passy quarter, as Mrs.

Ellen Gore of New York. was afterward known, however, as Miss Gore. She does not appear to have had any relatives In Paris, but among the effects found in her room are several typewritten letters of recent dates bearing the heading "Attorney Edward. C. Butler Gore, Court of Mexico." These letters are of a strictly business nature reiaring to property.

It appears that M. da Rvdsenakl returned ta hie lodgings, 9 Rue de fa Falsanderie, at 5 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, accompanied bv Mini Gore, whom he took to his room, iiair an nour later, tne report or a revolver shot was heard, and de Kydsenakl rushed into the halL ahoutlnr for helo. The proprietor of the house and several other persons entered the room and fouud Miss Gore lying on the bed with a bullet wound over her risrht eye. while the re-. volver was on the rug at the bedside.

Two aoctors were summoned to attend tne woman, but she died without regaining consciousness. De Rysenskrs version ot the affair Is that, while, conversing with nis visitor, he hsd occasion to pick up an article from the table, and be inadvertently knocked off the revolver, tne ran ot wnien to tne noor caused it to discbarge. The bullet struck tbe woman and sha fell backward on the bed In an unconscious condition. The Commissary of Police, who has charge the case, says the story seems improbable, but that it is Impossible as yet to say whether the case la one of murder or accident. Nothing has yet been discovered to help in clear- mi uv me mystery.

According to a servant In de Rydsenskl's, nouse. miss uora nam rreauent visits to ma young Russian. ine proprietor or the boarding house In which Miss Gore lodged says she appeared to be a conscientious student; she worked hard at her musical studies, and received few visitors. Tbe doorkeeper of the house, who speaks In the highest terms of the dead woman, says he has seen her enter tne nouse, accompanied by a man -whose descriDtlon tallies with that of U. da Rydsenskl''- Mr.

Gowdy has not formed any theory regarding the woman's death, but be will Insist on the police thoroughly probing all ine mysterious zeaturea oi tne case, xne body haa been removed to tbe morgue, where it will remain until Mr. Gowdy received advices from the woman's relatives. De Rydsensu comes of a rich and noble Russian family. He is tha son af a Gen eral, and he has uncles who hold high posl. uons in me uonmncni aeryic.

The police are continuing their investiga tion, ana ae ityazensiu is aeDi unaer sur veillance. Some ot the morning papers' give a somewhat different version ot the death of Miss Gore from that contained in the forerolnr. ana say tne Kussian name is Jean de a. I TT Hutsowsu. His landlady, who waa the first person actually to enter the room.

says, according to some accounts, that aha found Miss Gore seated on the bed with her head thrown back on the bolster, which waa covered with blood, and groaning A doctor and a surgeon were summoned at onoe. The victim was fully dressed and had her hat on. Tha doctors tried In vain Ho save her life. She did not recover consciousness, and died at 8 o'clock without uttering a word. A cording to -e papers when the Russian made contradictory statements to the Commissary of Police the hitter said abruptly: It you who killed her." M.
