depot at Forty-third street. The car did
not do SO, and as the night men arrived
with their cars they ran them into the
stables. The men stood arouni quietly,
laughed and chatted in the best of humor,
and did not attempt resort to any vio-
tence. The last car left the Broadway rail-
road depot at $50 o'clock The next one
to arrive entered the depot, and did not
come out again. The men were very quiet,

teen men about the depot They all be-
