STRIKE.

ST. LOUIS, April 26.-Between 10 and
II this morning Erastus Wells president
of the Olive street and Market street rail
road lines, made proposition to his men
to give conductors IS cents and drivers
123 cents per hour. Three or four on the
regular force concluded to accept, and
about noon cars were started on both
roads, they being mainly manned by new
or extra men. The first four or five cars
on Market street passed over the road very
well, receiving only mud scattering from a
few unruly persons on the street;
but about o'clock a great crowd collected
on Chestnut street, between 18th and 18th,
stopped four cars forcibly, and detained
them, and compelled the horses to haul
them over the macadam pavement down
18th to Market street, and then forced the
driver to take them back to the stables, on
the latter street This line uses two
parallel streets, Chestnut and Market one
block apart, cars going west on Chestnut
and coming east on Market. After this
1awless act the mob stopped another car
going out Chestnut at the corner
of 13 and smashed its windows, plastered
it with mud, unhitched the team, and
made driver take them back to the stable.
The car now stands on the track and
crowd viii not let the railroad men touch
it. About dozen policemen were pres
ent at this point. but Notwithstanding they
arrested number of the leading spirits,
they were powerless to prevent the riOtous
proceedings. Another similar scene oc-
Cured on Market street, between 4th and
5th and the eastern terminus of the road.
Several arrests were made here also, but the
police could not preserve order and the mob
bespattered the cars with mud and assailed
men on them with all manner of vile and
abusive epithets. On the Olive street line
another great crowd gathered at the corner
of 5th street, extending to 4th street, the
eastern end of the road and Obstructed the
passage of cars. This mob was also very
abusive to conductors and drivers and was
loud and angry and bitter in its denuncia- |
ton of railroad. Captain Fox with a
squad of about a dozen mounted
police was at this point and |
managed to keep the tracks clear enough |
for cars to pass, but neither they nor the
patrolmen number of whom were also |
there, could prevent the use of foul langu- |
age or stop the throwing of mud at the
cars, or other active demonstrations. Capt. |
Fox horse received
KNIFE THRUST
at this point, from some unknown ruffian.
Capt. Fox drew his revolver but did not
use it. A number of arrests were also |
made, and finally about o'clock the street |
was pretty well cleared and order pre-
