FROM THE PORT.
Nbw Yokk. January 31.—The great strike
took a new phase to day. It involves not
only the additional 'longshoreman who
wanted to go out, as stated in ihe-ie dis-
»atches last night, and who went out this
morning, but also freight-handlers of rail-
roads, thus tightening the blockade on trans-
portation and adding ether thousands to the
thousands already idle. Apparently by
preconcerted action, the committees of
freight handlers of a number of roads to-
day presented formulated demiuda on
managers, and it is understood that similar
demands will be made on the managors of
all roads leading into this city. Details are
given herewith:
The freight-handlers of the Pennsylvania
road employed on the company's North
river piers to-day notified the managers
that unless the rate of wages was increased
from 15 to 20 cents per hour a general
strike would follow along the company's
docks. The company was given until to-
morrow at noon to consider the demand.
Their demands are 20 cents per hour from
7 a. m. to (i p. m., withjin hour for dinner;
all overtime to be paid at 20 cents per hour.
The freight-handlers of the company are
in sympathy with the strikers. There are
about 2000 men employed on the piers.
Demands were also made bv the freight-
handlers employed by the Central Railroad
of New Jersey snd by the Sew York, Lake
Erie and Western for increases of wages,
and threatening to immediately quit
work if their demands were not
complied with. Concessions asked for
were refused absolutely. The traffic
manager on the Erie, said the committee
from the company's laborers called upon
him this morning and asked for an increase
from ir» to 20 cents per hour on ordinary
- time and from 20 to 25 cents per
hour on extra time. They asked for
a reply by to-morrow morning at
which time they would strike unless the
demands were complied with. The com
pany have decided not to concede anything,
but as the traffic manager said, "will
stand firm as rock, and other companies
will stand with us."
At the office of the New Jersey Central it
was ascertained that a committee of five
waited upon the receivers this morning
and presented a demand for increased
wages for freight-handlers and other
employes, and insisting on an an
swer at or before 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The receivers met them again at that hour
and gave them a written reply in which
they declined to comply with the demands.
The committee left and immediately after-
ward the freight-handlers of the company
on pier 14 went out on a strike.
Several more steamers arrived to-day.
Non union men are working better, and
there is not so much freight piled up as on
Saturday.
The Wyoming, of Guion line, will not
sail until Wednesday, one day late. The
company says that delay is not caused by
strike, for their non- union men are get-
ting accustomed to handling freight.
The Anchor line officials claim to be
much encouraged by their progress. They
say they have 450 men.
CuEarder Aurania is expected to arrive
to night. There are men enough to unload
and reload in time for her sailing day.
La Bretagne of the French line arrived
at 11 a. m. She will be ready for sail by her
usual day, Saturday.
In Brooklyn the strikers are quiet aud
orderly. Freight is being moved slowly by
the Italians and non union handlers. There
is much embarrassment to business.
the 'longshoremen's strike.
New York, January 31.—The < ffl ual or-
der issued yesterday at the 'longseoremen's
convention, ordering out the members of
several unions to the number of ; 500, had
little effect on business at the East river
piers to day. In most cases the order
covered unions whose members were
alreadn out, so that there was littie
or no change in the situation
of affairs. On the New York
side of East river, all the lines claim to
be hiring enough non-union men to do all
the work required. On pier 3d a full com-

lampasas opera-house burned,
Lampasas, Tex., January 31.—Barnes's
opera-bouse, a two-story cut-rock building,
occupied up-stairs as an opera-house, and
the lower floor by Dyer Bros., druggists, and
Eli W. Mitchell, jeweler, was totally de-
stroyed by fire last night, at 12 o'clock.
The adjoining building, occupied by Mrs.
Van Horn as a milinery establishment, the
Baltimore and Ohio telegraph office, J. W.
Gtiimond, news dealer, and J. W.
Moore, druggist, was on fire, but
through the efficient work of the fire
department and the waterworks it was soon
extinguished. The Opera-house was owned
by Captain A. H.Barnes, and was the finest
building in the city. The cause of the fire
is unknown. The insurance on building
and stock is about $15,000, and the loss esti-
mated at $12,000. The large dr.v goods
establishment of Feigl Bros, was saved by
the heroic efforts of the firemen, and the
waterworks did their work nobly.

Kingsbury, Tex., January 31.—To-day
the citizens of this little place held a meet-
ing for the purpose of inducing the Freder-
icksburg and San Marcos Valley railway to
come to Kingsbury. W. W. Scott was
elected chairman, after which the meeting
was called to order and a committee of
three appointed to wait on Major Converse,
who is surveying the now proposed right-
of-way to Sullivan Bidetrack, a point about
five miles east of this place. The meeting
was then favored with a little talk from
one or two enthusiastic citizens on the ad
vantages this road would give us, after
which the meeting adjourned, subject to a
call of the chairman, if he deems it neces-
sary upon receipt of the report of the com-
mittee. Judging from the actions of the
citizens, this place seems determined to get
this road if it can be induced to come here,
and should it decide to come Kingsbury
will be on a boom shortly.

Last night a German tramp was arrested,
while in the act of burglarizing Mr. F.

could be dispatched for.
The cases against T. J. aud Frank Scott,
father and son, charged with the murder of
Frank Harris, were called in the District
Court this morning. Frank Scott was first
arraigned and pleaded not guilty. His at-
torneys made an application for a continu
ance, which was promptly overruled, and
a motion was then made for a change of
venue, accompanied by affidavits of par-
ties averring that they'did not believe au
impartial jury could be secured to try the
case. The prosecution applied for and ob-
tained time to produce counter affidavits
and witnesses to prove that an im-
partial trial can be had, and the mo-
tion will be determined to morrow morn-
ing. Nearly 100 witnesses have been
summoned and the trial will undoubtedly
be the most interesting and most noted ia
the,,annals of Bexar county. If the parties
ore convicted the case will go into the
books of noted criminal trials. The evi-
dence is entirely circumstantial, but it ia
claimed there is not a missing or faulty
link in the chain of testimony. The mur-
der was committed in the Helotes settla-
ment on September 15, 18S4. Harris, the
murdered man, was working on Carroll
Brannon's farm, and was in love with
Scott's daughter. They made one or two
attempts to elope, Scott being opposed to
the match, and it wa3 to prevent the mar-
riage that the alleged murder is supposed
to have been committed. T. J. Scott and
his son, who was constable of the precinct,
went to Brannon's, while he was away
from home, and carried Harris away, bound
him on a horse, telling him that they had a
warrant for his arrest. He was then mur-
dered and thrown into a cavern, which has
since become widely known as Robbers
cave, and has been visited by thousands on
account of the murder. Brannon's wife,who
was Scott's daughter, told her husband
about her father and brother taking Harris
off, but nothing was ever said about it until
last June. Nearly two years ago Carroll
Brannon had a brother Joe, who became an
outlaw in western Texas, and fled back to
bis old home in Missouri, where he also be-
came an outlaw for having committed
numerous stage robberies, and secretly re-
turned to his brother's, on the Helotes. The
Scotts betrayed Joe Brannon's whereabouts
and he was killed by deputy marshals
from this city while resisting arrest.
Carroll Brannon became so enraged at the
betrayal of his| brother that he disclosed
the Harris murder to the county officials,
and told them if they would search the
cave they would find his remains. Search
was immediately made, and the bleached
bones of the murdered man were found
and identified by the defective teeth, tlie
boots he wore and the massive bones, Har-
ris being known as a very tall man aud
large in proportion. The Scotts were ar-
rested and lodged in jail, and on a habeas
corpus trial bail was refused.

all the leading planters on the lower Mis-
sissippi have oeen given stock in the new
mill, and have pledged themselves to fur-
nish so many tons of cotton seed annually,
thus assuring the mill 50,000 tons a year, or
as much as any two mills of the trust com-
''Ipyher® receive. The site of the new
mill has been selected, and the necessary
barges and steamers contracted for. It is
a direct attack on the Oil Trust company,
in which planters will take a prominent
part.

lection, and when Buckner demanded pay-
ment Winston refused, saying, as alleged,

The Unloaded Pistol Claims Another Victim.
Palo Pinto, Tex., January 31.—The fune
ral of Freddie Straughan was attended by
many surviving friends of Col. Straughan,
the manner of the little fellow's death being
so peculiarly sad. Freddie and two other
