The New York street-Car strike.

NEW York, April % "A represent,
alive of the Executive Committee
states that the board has determined
that the strike shall be confined to the
Third Avenue road unless in case OF
q combination OF all the roads against
the strikers. The other roads are
warned by the strikers 10 keep away
from Third avenue. During the strike
the men viii be paid from the funds
Of the association as though they were
at work. The question of general
tie up will be he'd in allegiance.
A drunken man tried to raise dis
turba1ce with q conductor about noon
to-day on a Third avenue car. A crowd
gathered and took hand. The police
used TIE clubs to quell the Tow and
busted the drunken fellow TO the sta
tion-house. Another cid man, an old
driver, was arrested and locked up for
assaulting drivers and conductors in
the employ Of the road.
The grand jury spent the day in
considering the cases Of the Third
Avenue strikers, who were arrested
for riotirg on Tuesday, and those who
have besn carry ing on the bakers and
other boycotts. II is understood that
a number Of indictments were found,
aud that on Monday investigation
will be made into the methods en-
ployed by the Executive Board Of the
Empire Protective Association in or
dering a general tie-up OF the city
street. car lines. 1t is thought
indictments can be found under the
law against conspiracy to intimidste.
A boycott has been declared against a
charitable institution, which furnishes
work to number OF crippled boys in
the manufacture OF brushes. The boy
colt is declared by the Brush Makers
Union, because the work comes into
competition with that of members Of
that union. The immediate result OF
the boycott has been to secure large
number OF orders for the cripples'
work.

stables were closed at 80 O'Clock to-
night in order that the police might
