About 10 o'clock, on Tuesday night,
two white men, one named Bryce, were
walking quietly down Calhoun street.
When they approached King street,
they met q crowd OF the strikers, who
]ostlcd them oil tile pavement. One of
Them attempted to remonstrAte, where
upon the crowd set upon the two men
and nearly murdered them. The police
man Oh the beat, attracted by the noise,
arrived on the sccuc. He found Bryce
bleeding from severe wound from
huge dirk, which had been left on the
spot by the mnrderous villain; and the
| other beaten almost to death with clubs.
On the same evening, crowd of
twelve or thirteen strikers went into the
grocery store Of Wm. +. Sieling, at the
corner OF Lynch aud Wentworth streets.
They called for drinks and got them.
They then asked for cigars, and upon
the box being handed out, each striker
helped himself to half dozen cigars,
and the crowd thereupon walked out.
Tue proprietor very tmilly suggested
that he had not been paid, and was po-
litely told to go to h.
On Wednesday,, the streets were
crowded with iders all day. There is
considerable dissatisfaction among the
laborers ns to the strike, and most of
them express the wish to return to work,
but are deferred from this by the threats
OF the handful of rioters who are en-
gineering the movement. It seems that
the strike is directed by no organized
society at ALL but simply by about fifty
negroes. who have armed themselves
aud forced the other laborers into IA
strike.
