ALL THE CARS AGAIN RUNNING.

The New York T1e-Up Declared of
and the Men Resume Their Places.
NEW YORK, June 6.-By secret order is
sued at O'Clock yesterday morning by the
Empire Protective association every horse
railroad in this city, Brooklyn and Long
Island City was tied up, with the exception
of the Third avenue roads. The plea was
put forth in justification of the step that the
other companies were in league with the
Third Avenue company and supporting it
against the strike and the boycott recently
aimed at it. AS the association had once
before been successful in bringing the com
pany to terms by a similar method it was
determined to make another effort to bring
the Third avenue road to terms. The Third
avenue road reaped harvest from the tie
up, and the officials variously estimate their
receipts from $4,000 to $4,000 yesterday.
They claim to have sufficient of non-union
men for all their needs, and declared them
selves determined to stick in their purpose
of controlling their own business and hiring
and discharging whom they will. About
$50 the Blocker street cars were running
some of the man returning to work. During
the day most of the lines managed, by means
of non-union men and the aid of police, to
run several cars over their roads, in spite of
the opposition of the strikers who heaped up
barricades and distractions, and thus saved
their charter.
After protracted session of the executive
committee of the Empire Protective associa-
ton lasting until nearly 1 o'clock this morn
ing it was decided to declare the street car
strike off and word to that effect was sent to
the headquarters of the different lines, all the
cars beginning running this morning usu-
al. The officers of the Empire Protective
association say that they ordered the strike
to show the railroad companies that they
were we'll disciplined and could order
general tie up at any moment. William S.
Boyle, who it is claimed was one of the
men that ordered yesterdays strike and
who was arrested last night for conspiracy,
was held to-day for trial. Other arrests are
expected. In Brooklyn all tie cars began
running early and the drivers and eonduc-
tors appeared pleased to be back at work
tie up except that they wanted to show
their strength.
A few minutes before five O'Clock this af-
ternoon Superintendent Murray sent word to
all the captains to dismiss their reserves. 1t
meant that the tie-up was over and there was
no further need of extra police. The super
intendent also reissued the order granting
the men the vacations which were stopped
en- Saturday. The vacations will begin this
Inspector Steers, who was 10 leave
to day for the Pacific slope thirty days
trip, but was prevented by the strike, will
start Wednesday morning. A lively rumpus
occurred at Ninety seventh street and Third
avenue this morning. AS green driver Thorn
as Fountain was urging forward his jaded
horses attached to car No. 287 four men sprang
upon the front platform and lifting him up |
gently yet forcibly threw him over the |
dashboard. Driver Fountain gushed forth |
stream of explosives which speedily brought |
Conductor Foley to the front platform. |
Foley was promptly knocked down, but re-
gained his feet and drawing a revolver fur |
nished by the company discharged it several |
times at his assailants. The policeman at |
the corner with praiseworthy presence of |
mind ran in the opposite direction when he |
heard the shots, but presently sauntered |
back and arrested James and John O'Brien |
in Fox's bar1oom at Third avenue and |
Ninety seventh street. The bartender was |
also arrested for violating the excise law. |
The O'Briens were held in $500 bail.
