The Mallory pier wa 200 feet long
and 50 bi t wide. The pier wa filled
with valuable Irolght. nioatly cotton.
Ou the north aide of the pier were
moored a number of coal and cotton
argea, while ou theaouth aide wa the
ateamer Sau Mario aud a number of
barge.
No i Kiner had the work of fighting
the (lame begun than the firemen
turned their attention to aavlug the
live ol tlioae on the barge which were
Ivimi within the hue ol danger. Near
eat Ui the pier wa the narge Stephen

The Wha family wa awnkeued by tho

Jumped Into the water. Timothy

aud went to the aaiiatance of hia wife.
He niauaued to hold her head above

St. Louis, May 10. The employes of
the St. Louis Transit Company, num
bering about 8,900 men, made good to
day their threat to tie np the street
railway trafflo of the city. In doing so
they not only paralyzed the business of
the company which operates all the
slectrlc and cable roads in the city,
with the exception of those owned by
the St. Louis A Suburban Hallway
Company, on which a strike has been
in progress for two weeks past, but
brought matters to a standstill oo ball
a dozen other lines of business as well.
It was the most oomplet tle-np ever
seen In St. Louis.
Kiotoas proceedings began almost
Immediately. When the company
tried to take cars from the various barn
ol the system, the non-union men who
bad undertaken the task were immedi
ately surrounded and urged not to
make the attempt. II they persist!,
tho cars were surrounded by a howling
oiob, aud as if by magic, sticks and
itoues filled the air, forcing the men in
charge to desert their poet. During
the fuaiiade window in the cars were
broken, while their sides were scarred
tud dented by the missile. At first
the storm centers were confined to re
mote imints. liy and by a few cars
managed to slip away from the crowds
sniuud the power houses and carbarns,
ud made their way down town. Then
the theater of activity was transferred
to Washington avenue. Locust street
and other down town thoroughfares
The same tactics were resorted to dow n
town that had proved so efficacious
alout the barns. A crowd would sur
round each car, and while the boys
and young men would shout "scab1
aud "cheap crew" at the motorman
and coudnctor, from further back in
the throng would come a volley of rocks
, md bricks, smashing the windows aDd
frightening the men in charge from
i their posts.
The moat serious personal injuries
sustained up to nightfall were received
in riots of this character, which took
place on Washington avenue, from
Sixth to Elirhth streets. In one of
them a boy was shot by a non-uuion
conductor, who waa trying to push his
car through the crowd. In the fracas
further down a motorman was serious
ly Injured by a brick thrown by some
one in the crowd. A man was shot at
Uraud and Franklin avenues tonight,
and still another man was shot at D
n'clock tonight near the crossing of the
suburban tracks on Taylor avenue. As
a surburban car was crossing Taylor
avenue, a big crowd gathered. Some
one In It pulled the trolley from the
wire, and this action so enraged a pas
senger, at present unknown, that he
drew a revolver and fired throe shots
Into the crowd. Hurt Gilbert, a bar
kceier, an onlooker, received one of the
bullets iu the ami, and another in the
lung. He was taken to the city hos
pital, where hit wounds were pro
nounced mortal.
The police were powerless toOay in
tlio face of the mob, which was aug
mented at noon by thonsauds of clerks
from business houses and workmen
fruru the factories. Many women also
Blithered with the crowds. Boys and
young men, most of whom had no con
nection with the strikers whatever, fur
nished most of the noise, and did a
large amount of the mischief down
town. There were comparatively few
of the strikers iu the mob, aud many
of those who appeared most zealous in
tlie cause of the Btreot railway men
were animated by no more ferocious
feeling than love of excitement. Yehl
cles of all sorts wore pressed Into serv
ice today by tho citizens ot the town in
getting to aud from bnsineas.
Chairman Samuel W. Lee, of the
national executive board, the man who
is conducting the strike, said today that
the union was satisfied with the results
of the strike.

London, May 10. Four thousand
British cavalry watered their hnrea at
Zand river, Monday, 25 milet beyoua
Smaldeel, where Lord Roberts con
tinue to date bis dispatches. T'.."
acout who have been searching the
country for miles along the stream have
found ho Boers south of tbe river. T he
enemy are laagered in unknown force
on the north bank. Thus the British
advance guard is witihn 45 miles of
Kroonttad.
The war office has Issued the follow
ing dispatch from Lord Roberts, dated
Smaldeel, May 8: -
"General Hutton, with mounted in
fantry, reconnoitered yesterday to the
Zand river, and found the euemy in
considerable force. General Broad-
wood's brigade of cavalry, with General
Ian Hamilton's force, performed the
same operation with much tbe tame
result.
'General Hunter reports that he oc
cupied Fourteen Streams yesterday
without opposition, owing in a great
measure, to the able disposition made
by General Paget on the left bank of
the Vaal river at Warrenton, where hia
artillery fire rendered the enemy' posi
tion practically untenable. A six-Inch
gun was found most useful. As the
Sixth and half of the Fifth brigades of
infantry advanced under cover of the
artillery, the enemy retired precipitate
ly, abandoning their clothing, ammuni
tion and personal effects."
The Free Staters, in the expectation
that Kroonstad will speedily become
untenable, are, according to informa
tion form Lourenco Marque, preparing
to transfer their government to ileil-
bron, a little mote than 50 miles north
east.
Correspondents at headquarters are
now wiring freely concerning the inci
dents connected with the occupation oi
Smaldeel. Some exasperation is ex
pressed at the ease with which the Boers
escaped with their transports before the
very eyes of tbe British. For instance,
when the British entered Smalieel, the
Boer ox wagons coolly outspaned only
five miles away, as if in contempt of
the ability of the Biitish to overtake,
them.
Smaldeel is a village ot only a score
of dwellings, but it expanded in ou
night to a vast canvas city, and the
glow of tbe campfires was like a scene
in an iron smelting district. The city
is likely to lade away in a day by the
immediate progress of the infantry to
Zand river.
The tidings from Mafeking are
gloomier than ever. Everybody tneie
has an empty stomach and a pinched
face. The natives are no longer given
porridge, and the whites now have noth
ing but a quart of that substance and a
pound of horse sausage daily. Every
thing else eatable has gone. Insuffi
cient food, wet trenches and cold nights
are deadly to tbe health of the garri
son. This information comes from re
liable natives. Lady Sarah Wilson,
