Red Leary on the Rampage.
New York, Dec. 17.-Red Leary and
Bucth Mccarthy, the reported robbers of
the Manhattan Savings Bank, were ar
raigned yesterday afternoon. Detective
R. Pinkerton was present, with a requisi-
ton for Leary, on which to take him to
Northampton, Mass. Captain Byrnes said
he had failed to get any one to identify
either of the prisoners on the charge of
robbing the Northampton Bank. The Jan
itor and his wife said it would be impossi-
BILE to identify any of the robbers, as their
faces were concealed by masks. AS there
was no evidence against Leary and Nc
Carlhy, they were discharged. Leary was
at once rearrested on a requisition from
Massachusetts,, charging him with COM
plicity in the robbery of the Northampton
Bank. .-.,. --.-..,..-.-.... .- .,....-.---
Leary's counsel at once served writ of
habeas corpus on the Sheriff returnable
Wednesday.
When Mccarthy was discharged he ac-
companied his friend Leary into the exam
ination room and remained in conversation
with him until the necessary papers were
drawn up, when the Sheriff said, "Come
this way, Mr. Leary" Mccarthy rose first,
and Leary followed him between the first
two officers. The party went through the
prison alley, which connects the Court
ante-room with the prison, and were Just
opening door which leads out on the
street, when big burly man, carefully
wrapped in an Ulster trimmed with fur,
rushed up to Leary and yelled, LET this
man CO." Pinkerton drew revolver and
kept him of.
There were eighteen or twenty of these
men in the street, who rushed towards the
steps, all of whom drew revolvers. They
were quelled by the officers, and one Burns,
desperate character, was taken into Gus
tody and shackled. This ended the dis
turbance, and Leary was taken to Ludlow
street Jail.
The Car Drivers Strike.
The drivers of the Third-avenue Street
Car Line, in conformity with the under
standing reached Sunday, struck between
and o'clock yesterday morning leaving
their cars on the road at the depots The
Company had been warned of the contem-
plated move, and had secured the services
of number of green hands. They were
sent for, and shortly before 4 o'clock car
No. 1 was dispatched to City Hall. When
the car had gone block gang of strikers
rushed from neighboring saloon, and by
threats and menaces compelled the driver
to unhook his horses and drive the car back
to the stable.
Ward was sent to Superintendent Wall
ing, and at o'clock Inspector Mccormick,
with one hundred and fifty men, arrived at
the stables, and the sidewalks were at once
cleared. Detachments patrolled the avenue
for several blocks each way, while the main
body stood guard around the depot and
stables. AT o'clock car was again
started, and under the protection of three
policemen reached City Hall and passed

turbed thereafter. By half-past II o'clock
