CHICAGO, October Il, S:45 a. m.-About
tw enty-five men have been held in reserve
all night at the Western avenue barns ready
to run out cars on short notice. The barn
foreman say s he expected to receive orders
to get out dozen cars some time this morn
ing, that he would be ready en- ten minutes
notice. Ten policeman have been stationed
in the barn all night. An extra squad has
also been waiting at the West Madison
street station, rumor having been spread
that mob of strikers might attack the
barIs to get at the men. 1t is understood
that an attempt will be made to run cars on
one or two other West side lines to-day. The
usual number of cars were started on the
North side this morning, meeting no oppo-
sition. The alleged dynamite find On the
North side track proves to have been of eb-
solutely no consequence. The torpe6oes
were of the cap variety and altogether narm-
less.
1880 a. m.-Orders have been issued for
the concentration of $50 policemen at Des-
PLANES street station. The superstition is
that an attempt is to be made to get out a
larger number of West side cars than have
been run st any previous time since the
strike was iuaugurated. A few strikers
gathered around the barns this morning

lowed to run. number of the
North side cars made their trips
this morning without serious in
reference. The track distractions were
few and and people appeared to have grown
weary of shouting ''rats," or ''scabs" at
the new men. Chief Hubbard says cars
will soon be started from the Western

line on West Madison street to preserve Or

cars will be run during the day.
DANGEROUS EXPLOSIVES.
Captain Shack, of the North side police,
discovered this morning that the dynamite
which Jules kalesberger was caught placing
on the street car tracks, on Sedgwick street.
yesterday afternoon, is ths most violent ex-
plosive ever found by the police in this city.
Captain Shack and Edward Furthman. at
torney for the street car company,
piosiyes, carefully examined the stuff
at the Est Chicago avenue station
this morning. Several pieces were found
On the track. They are cone shaped about
the size and shape OF half an egg. Captain
Shack says the explosion of one of these
cones would shatter car wheel into smith
Greens, and that three of them would blow
a street car o high that g fire shovel would
hold the largest fragment. If three of them
were placed in gas pipe they would make
bomb precisely like those made by Louis
Lingg, the anarchist. A dozen of these
comes were found in Kalesberger's pockets.
TO GREATS SCARE.
Chief of Police Hubbard says that more
careful investigation of the supposed dyna-
mite bombs shows that they contsin plaster
of paris instead of an explosive, and are
consequently harmless. They are made in
exact imitation of the dynamite bombs used
by the anarchists here, and were evidently
put on tie tracks to terrorize the car drivers.
SEEKING A SETTLEMENT.
A committee of West side citizens
waited upon the mayor this morning and
then went to see the executive board of
the West side Conductors and Drivers as
ISOLATION with view to settling the strike.
They returned to the mayors Office shortly
before O'Clock. They reported that after
Iaboring with the executive boards of the
North and West sides, the men had agreed
70 allow the company, in case of Q settle
