BECOMING SERIOUS.
Chicago Had a Very Lively
Day with the Strikers.
THE WORST PROBABLY TO COME

Repetition OF the Scenes OF 1884 Anti
cipated-striisers Make Life a Burden
TO Imported Drivers-Bad Results OF
the Company's Failure 60 Keep Promise
CHICAGO, Oct. 10-The fourth day Of the
strike closed with a record Of several brawls
and one serious collision between the police
ana crowd, in which several heads were
broken. The feeling is not as good as it has
been heretofore, and unless there are some
quietlng influences set 20 work it Is probable
That the tumultuous sceneJ Of four years ago
may be repeated before the strike has con-
tinued much longer The action Of the rail-
way officials in attempting to run cars on the
west side after announcing that no such
action would be taken was primarily the
cause Of most of the trouble. The six cars
which were started over the Madison street
line, manned by imported conductors and
drivers and protected by the police, ran the
gauntlet Of a storm Of execrations and cries
OF 'Scab,n "Scab" and RATS but made the
trip without encountering any violence.
just as they had reached the Western av-
enue barns on the return trip, Superinten-
dent Nagle, who was waiting at the barn to
receive the cars, was attacked by Jack
1leason, Northwestern switchman There
was general rush made ky the crowd, and
had 1t not been for the oppoftune arrival of
the police, who arrested Gleason after a des-
perate resistance, Nagle would have Jared
badly
In the meantime there was great irritation
on the north side, where the crowd had been
angered by the clubbing of women and men
by police at the corner Of Garfield avenue
and Orchard street. Near the car barns the
tracks were covered by all manner Of OBJ
structions, and the four cars that were run
ming under police protection were stopped
every few feet until the tracks could be
cleared
The crowd kept up constant roar OF epi-
thets and vituperation, and the imported
mon We're greatly relieved when, after few
brushes with the crowd, the police cleared
the way to the barn, and the cars were
locked Up for the night During the confu-
sion man said 70 have been Attorney
Furthman, the counsel for the road. had a
narrow escape from being mobbed. He saw
little boy, about 10 years old, bending over
the road, and jumping TO the conclusion that
he was about to pick up stone, the man
sprang from his buggy, and after lashing tho
child with his whip dragged him into tho
buggy and drove off, pursued for some dis.
tance by the crowd
AT other times during tho day four men
and two boys were arrested charged with in
citing TO riot Last night a large placard
distributed by the the strikers was displayed
IN store windows and fruit stands, reading.
Protect the Chicago labor against Pennsyl-
vanla paupers; no Carnegie tactics for us
no attempt was made 10 run cars after dark
and the excitement measurably diminished.
General Manager Parsons, of the West Di-
vision Street Railroad company, has issued a
circular 20 the public explaining the action
OF its employees and declaring the company
has always dealt fairly and generously with
them. He says the north side trouble must
be settled without any interference from tho
west side, and notifies the men that notice

certain hour, and that II they fail TO do 80
