Gee dlngs in the Streets"
/ 1O.45-Up. TO this hour, no disturb
auce has been reported at police head
quarters. There is not car running
| and as yet no attempt has been E>ade
| to send out cars. The city appears as
if dead. Nothing like the present
| trouble has been witnessed ever since
the worst days of the great epic tic
epidemic dozen years ago. The poll e
force is thoroughly organized and con-
fident of its ability to repress promptly
any disposition to riot or di. order
Every man able to put on a uniform
and carry club was ordered on duty
last night, and this morning IL SEQ men
were he'd in reserve. The police head
quarters looks like an enorm, US
| bivouac Uniformed men are held in
readiness to answer calls from any
quarter. Squads of fifteen or twenty
policemen we're dispatched early
to guard tie railroad depots and
stables, mounted men patrol
Grand Street and the route of the Dry
dock railroad from end to end, to keep
the route clear in case of any attempt
being made to run the car over the
road as yesterday. in order to save the
comT any S charter. Police s u eilrten-
dent Murray is determined TO SUP press
the repetition Of Yesterdays scenes. No
| trouble, however is apprehended The
strikers preserve an attitude Of quiet de-
termination, awaiting tie result of the
conference now beng held between the
executive committee of the Empire As
ISOLATION and Railroad ommissioner
O'Donnell, who arrived from Albany
this morning in answer to dispatch
demanding his presence. 1t will be fol-
lowed by a me citing between the COM
missioner and representative of the
railroads that will decide the line OF fur
Their action.
1t. is reported that every street car
in Brooklyn will be stopped at O'Clock
to-day. Employees of the roads in that
city, now running state that they have
been ordered to go on the strike at tnat
hour, and to remain until the demands
of the men on the Dry Dock and Allan
tic Avenue lines are granted.
ThesrumOr that employees o.. tile ele-
waited roads would strike at noon, has
proved 10 have been without founda-
ton, as at hah-past u all trains were
running as usual. Superintendent Ham
says he does not believe the elevated
road men will strike, as their doing so
could be of no possible use to the surface
railroad strikers.

Murray has received intelligence that
the committee which met to consider
the strike troubles has adjourned and
that matters have been adjusted that

this afternoon on all lines in this city

One of the leading spirits among
the strikers said the men who
- I
were not connected with the strikers in
any way. He said that it was the in
| tention of the men to protect the prop
erty of the railroads that had granted
| the demands of the men and that com
mittees had been appointed by various
lines to teed and water the horses in
different stables; the strikers would
drive car over the roads of either or
! all of the lin S which had come to the
t,rms made by the men so that the
charter of the roads would not be jeop-
ardiZed.
