two lines OF street cars have made a pro-
posal of compromise with their striking
conductors and drivers, at the rate OF lzH
cents per hour for drivers, and 10 cents
for conductors. Three or four OF the
strikers yesterday accepted, and the cars
were started down Olive and Market
streets, manned mostly by extramen.
Only few cars had gone when a great
crowd on Chestnut and Twelfth streets
stopped four cars, showed them off the
track, and compelled them to go over the
rough pavement and forced the drivers to
stable their horses. They spatte red with
mud another car, smashed its windows,
and sent the team back to the stable, and
refused to let the railroad men touch it.
A dozen policemen were present, but were
powerless, although they arrested a mum
Der of the leading spirits of the mob. A
similar scene occurred on Market, between
Fourth and Fifth streets. Arrests there
were also unayailing to restore order. The
men on the cars were assailed with vile
and abusive language. Captain Fox, with
q squad of mounted police, kept the
tracks clear enough for the cars to pass,
but could not prevent the vile language
and active mud Singing. His horse got a
knife thrust, and he drew his pistol, but
did not use it on the ruffian. The police
finally succeeded in restoring order and
clearing the streets. 1t is probable that
the car companies will not run to-day, but
will wait until Thursday, when a full po-
lice force will be procured. The evidence
shows that the strikers were not engaged
in the riotous proceedings Of yesterday,
but were opposed to them. President
Erastus Wells and his son were much
abused and pelted with mud, as they
brought the first car down Olive street.
It is understood now that the cars will be-
gin to run early tomorrow, under the pro-
lection Of the police, who will use force if
necessary. The strikers adopted a resolu-
ton last night deprecating the riotous pro-
ceedings, and stating that they will aid the
police, in preserving order. They intend
to establish lines in opposition to the car
companies.
A Bone Factory Burned.
New York, April 27.-The bone factory
of G. s. Smith, at Greenport, was burned
yesterday forenoon. Many workmen be-
came panic stricken, and jumped from the
windows or crowded each other in the
doorways, in their eagerness to get out.
The result was that George Billings, Peter
Shaft and Samuel Dixon were removed to
the hospital. Adjoining the factory was a
sawdust ~store-house, about which a large
crowd gathered, the walls protecting them
from the heat while watching the fire in
the factory. Without warning an explosion
threw the walls on the crowd. and the
flames swept over them d dozen feet high.
There were showers of blazing sawdust
spreading some distance, which set fire to
the clothing Of women and children, who
fed shrieking from the place. The fire.
men, police and others rushed to aid the
unfortunates, who had been injured or
buried beneath the falling walls, most Of
whom were boys. Their names are as
follows: VIM. Freeman, aged IA, fatally
burned; Frank Mcmillan, aged Is, fatally
burned; George Mcdowell, aged ii, badly
burned; John O'Connell, aged 10, badly
burned. A number Of men were knocked
down, and either injured or burned, but
with the aid Of friends they managed to
make their way home. Geo. Bloomfield,
aged rs, was caught beneath the burning
wall and burned to death. The body was
recovered from the ruins. In addition to
the above named, IA others were injured.
several Of them perhaps fatally, and all
badly.

Yates, May Thomas, Frederick Wedmor,
James Mortimer, Clement Scott and other
celebrated writer's for morning papers were
present. The play was mounted splendidly,
the Roman scene being reproduced accord
ing to the well known tragedy of the Drury
Lane Thsater. Throughout the perform
ance there were evidences of thorough stage
management, but the supporting caste was
much inferior to that with which McCul-
Tough lately appeared in New York. The
leading points, however, were in sufficiently
competent hands. McCullough's noble i'm
p~ersonation Of Knowles tragedy, which il
so well known in America, was received
with many manifestations Of delight. The
tragedian was called before the curtain after
every act, and after the fourth act he was
summoned to the footlights three times.
The dungeon scene was pronounced by
critics to be superb in its conception and
execution. Altogether the performance was
