them from doing their duty. There
were no brutal policemen present with
Are In their eyes and black jacks in their
hands to beat back those who wanted to
get assessed.
No policeman was present at all this
forenoon and none were needed. There
were not more than two dozen people
present at any one time. All three OF
the assessors were willing to do all In
their power to assist those who wanted
to get their names on the duplicates, and
no trouble seemed 10 be too arduous 10

the assessments were quite full.
During the forenoon about forty names
were placed on the lists. Others went
away to hunt vouchers. Numbers OF
voters called simply to see that their
names were on the lists aud finding every
thing right went away with q smile. The
small number applying to be assessed
was rather surprise when It is known
that more than thousand names have
been omitted. The assessments will con-
tinne during the week, opening every day
at o O'Clock and closing al o'clock.

NEW York, Jan. 29.-No cars were
run over the Atlantic avenue street car
lines in Brooklyn, New York, yester-
day. The new men are afraid TO man
the cars without personal police pro-
lection. This II Is said cannot be afford
ed them. About 100 of the newly hired
men left In fear after hearing of the
killing of Conductor Adams While
some new employees OF the Atlantic
Avenue Road were being transferred
last evening under strong police escort
from the Office TO the stables, mob of
several thousand men blocked the way
at Twenty-third street, and IA fight fol
lowed, the police charging the crowd
and using their clubs freely, while the
rioters threw stones and other missiles.
Several on both sides We're hurt, but
none dangerously. The crowd was
finally dispersed. There are fears of
serious rioting to-day. The Thirteenth
Regiment of militia was called out last
night as precaution.
The Board of Aldermen of Brooklyn
yesterday unanimously adopted rrso-
luton in which, after recitimg the fact
of the stoppsge of the cars on the At
lantic avenue lines for several days and
the great inconvenience suffered by the
public in consequence, the aldermen
give notice. to the company that, unless
their cars are put in motion forthwith
and run on schedule Time, steps will be
taken to have the charter declared null
and void under which the company ex-
lists.
Meetings of street railway employees
were held in New York last night, at

final decision was left to u meeting OF
delegates to be held at O'Clock in the
morning. 1t was reported at an ear y
hour that the labor organizations had
issued orders TO tie-up 10 Of the surface
