ATTHE DELT LINE.
Large crowds OF strikers and their
sympathizers began to assemble early at
the stables OF the Belt line. Additional
police were telegraphed for and sent to
the scene and cleared the sidewalks. At
10 o'clock tho excitement was at fever
heat, but up 10 that time no car had
been started. 1t was said that il ours
were started there would be blOod.shed,
because the strikers were getting DIES.

Police Superintendent Murray was at
headquarters Mt . o'clock this morning
detailing men for the days work. He
has at his command $500 men, ind all
have been detailed to points where it is
thought trouble may occur,
There was little trouble on the Grand
street CrOsstown line at South Fifth
avenue this morning, Tue strikers over
turned coal wagon OH the tracks, and
1t looked as II IN encounter was immi-
nent. A patrol wagon full Of reserves
was sent there from police headquarters,
but when they arrived ut the scene
Capt. ThompsOn's reserves from tho
Eighth precinct police station had re.
moved the obstruction and dispersed the
strikers.
Tho Sixth Avenue road sent out their
first car at $3.50 this morning. Three
policemen were on each platform. About
100 strikers were standing about the dc.
pot, but they did not attempt to inter.
lcre. The superintendent says h0 will
not run moro than ten or twelve cars
during tho day.
Dispatches TO headquarters reported
that the Third avenue line had run
eighty cars during the night, and that
no trouble had been experienced.
Policemen rode on the cars while others
were stationed all along the route.
At tho Fourth avenue depot notice
is posted TO the effect that fifteen con.
duCtors, l75 drivers and l60 stable men
are wanted to take tho place OF the
strikers, and all new corners are notified
that those who so to work now will be
retained In the employ of,tho company,
whatever the result Of the strike may be.
Up to II: $50 a. III. about fifty applicants
for these positions had been accepted,
and at that hour twcnty.six cars had
been started. Six Of the old drivers re.
ported for duty before noon aud were
put to work.
The cars are being run only as far
down as Fourteenth street, and us far up
as 'Eighty.sixth street. The avenue Is
lined with people watching the running
OF the cars and evidently expecting Il
collision. Thus far, however, the oper-
ations OF the strikers have been without
violence in this quarter, Superintendent
Foulk Of the Ninth avenue line stated to
RreportCr to-day that his road would not
send out any cars till the trouble was all
over. He did not care to inCite riot.
The men had been forced to leave their
work without any reason for It, and hG
was not going 10 increase the complies
tiOns OF the situation. Mr.. Foulk says
lie can sec no reason why the State
Board OF Arbitration should have any
part In this matter and that hG should
certainly decline to trent with them.
MORE MoDs.
At1l o'clock u mob Of strikers gathered
at the corner Of Bedford and Carmine
streets and overturned half a dozen
wagons on the Sixth avenue trucks.
They also compelled two ash men TO
dump their lo0ds on the trucks and
thirty milk Caus and n lot Of paving
stones were scattered along for the length
OF an entire block. Tho only policemen
on duty there ut the time were Officers
Byrnes and ShRnahan, Of the ninth pre-.
cinct. They did the best they could
with the mob until Sixth avenue cur
CamO down, when they were reinforced
by tho four policemen who were on
board OF II, but they could make nc
headway. Shanahan was badly beatcn
about the head and Byrne discharged
his pistol into the crowd. Finally d
reserve squad arrived under the com
mand Of Captains Copeland and Grogar
and the mob was speedily dispersed.
THE EFFECT or IT.
The ,450 horses in tho Atlantic ave
nuc car stables in Brooklyn arc growing
stilT for want Of exercise, and some have
not been cleaned since Friday. Citizent
arc forced To walk, store keepers are los
Ing trade and tho theatres arO spalsely
peOpled at night. Former opponents oil
elevated roads nre urging the extension
OF the Union Elevated through thorough
fares heretofore closed by injunCtiOns
Judge Robertson, of the Board Of Arbi
tration, said hO thought the trouble
might DO adjusted, but Richardson ~
fused TO meet the Board and no PROPOSE
ton can be discussed The strikers
seem to 10 anxious 10 enter into soint
sort OF an agreement, but Richardson
will not listen to anything.
