Backbone OF the New York Street Car
Strike Broken-A Few Small Rows
Deacon Richardson's Scheme.
NEw YORK, February 1.-The lndica-
tions to-day, in the great street car tie mp
in this city, are that the companies are
gaining ground and that the strikers have
lost.
The Third and Fourth Avenue lines and
the Twenty-third Street cars were running
bright aud early, and the Broadway cars
started shortly before noon.
All the West Side lines were quiet this
morning. The only persons to be seen
are the police on guard and few Of the
strikers pickeis. Men seeking work TO-
day were not disturbed. The Sixth Avenue
Company claimed that they hsd beaten
the strikers completely. The road has
employed full force Of drivers, conduc-
tors and stable men. Applicants were
being turned away, the company said, all
the time.
At the Belt Lire stables, the scene of
yesterdays riOting, everything was peace
ful this morning. There were no disturb
ances here, and 10 cars would be run, ac-
cording to the company, until the police
could guarantee them protection. When
the police get the other roads running they
will concentrate their forces On the Belt
Line, and an effort will be made to run the
cars. The company has offered a reward
for the arrest and conviction of any person
obstructing or iDjuring their cars or prop
erty, or any person assaultipg it's employees
at any time within thirty days. This line
has also declared its intention of making
the city pay its losses of 81 500 daily be-
cause of the failure Of the police to afford
it protection enough to operate the read.
The State Board Of Arbitration in COM
munication to the press, announces IFS in-
ability to adjust the difficulties between
tho railroad companies and their men.
The letter states that the railroad officials
refuse to treat with any one but their own
employees. Chairman Purcell, Of the
Board, left for Rochester last night.
The frat car over the Sixth avenue road
this morning left the stables at S2O with
only two policemen on it. 1t made trip
to Canal street and back, without inter
ference. The second car left at 9:20 for
Vesey street. 1t was accompanied by four
policemen. 1t made the trip TO Vesey
street and back without trouble. By ten
o'clock the Sixth avenue rosd had twenty
cara making regular trips TO Vesey street
on schedule time and experiencing no
trouble.
Inspector Steers arrived at the Broadway
stables at $50 with two hundred police
men. Promptly at 9 O'Clock the first car
left the stables for the Battery. Four
policemen accompanied it. Other cars
following it from ten to fifteen minutes
apart. Every car is accompanied by two
green drivers and two green conductors
This is done to break them in. About $50
rew hands have been employed 20 far.
This includes drivers, conductors and sta
blemen. The full force required IS LOO
men, and new hands are being taken or
rapidly.
Four of Deacon Richardson's cars were
run in Brooklyn this morning without any
material interference from strikers. Five
hundred and fifty policemen were on hand
to subdue a possible outbreak. Ten and 4
roundsmsn were on each car. Rails were
found to have been torn up on Fifth av-
enue, but this was quickly remedied. A
committee again called on the Deacon this
morning for a conference, but met with no
success.
The report that all the lines would be
tied up this morning was mistake. The
men on the Brooklyn City lines will not
90 ont because they could not help the
other men financially in that event.
Much belief is expressed in the reports
that Richardson brought abont the strike
in order to procure all tie stock in the
road. and allows the tie-up to 20 on in or
der to secure a large sum in dsmsgis from
the city. A committee of South Brooklyn
residents will institute suit in the Su-
preme Court TO compel the deacon to run
his cars. He laughs at this.
Among the applicants for work at the
Second avenue depot was Enrich Dascher.
The strikers met him two blocks from the
depot. hlacked both his eyes and cut his
head badly. The police did not succeed in
arrestiug bis assailants. There are at
least 1000 people on the avenue within
sight of the depot. Later the trouble "a
sumed such proportions that help was sum
moned from the Twenty-aeventh precinct
police station. 4 patrol wagon contain
Ing a Sergeant and ten men drove at full
speed to the scene, and succeeded in clear
ing the avenue fIOm NiBetieth to Oae
Hundredth streets At , O'Clock all wac
quiet at that point.
Thomas Muller, Of Obarleston street,
was roughly handled by the strikers at the
Eighth avenue stables this afternoon when
he called to apply for wo;k. he was taken
home with his head cut.
II has been learned that three dozen
sledrshammer handles were purchased by
strikers at a Ninth avenue store to day.
Patrolman George Lilly, of the 23d pre-
oinet. was pet upon at 1:15 this afternoon
by mob Of $50 strikers while he was on
duty ST the corner of Madison avenue and
Fny seventh street. He finally drew bis
revolver and fired poin. blank into the
crowd. Ege witnesses sey that a tail man
with brown overcoat staggered snd fell
