the majority sym pathize with the strikers
John Mahoney, clerk in the Office, drove
the car. He is the same man who took out
the first car during the last strike on this
line. Mahoney'S experience this morning
was somewhat similar to the other. The
conductor took his position on the rear
platform, a police officer mounted the front
platform alongside the driver and police
were strung along Grand street about one
man to each block.

gan to make mischief. A truck was driven

by the surging mob. This obstruction was
removed and the car passed on. Halts
were made on almost every block Other
trucks were placed on the car tracks, but
were quickly removed. At Grand aud
Attorney streets another heavy furniture
wagon barred the way and stopped the car.
A crowd surrounded the car and unhitched
the horses. They were given a sharp blow
and started off, almost dragging the driver
over the front of the car
HAND TO HAND FIGHT.
The police all this time had collected in
force and had ha1d-t7-hand fight with the
mob Despite the police, however, the mob
lifted the car bodily and slung it across the
track. The policemen kept dashiug all the
time and attacked the struggling strikers
A moment or two OF this and the crowd
became diSordered and began 20 scatter
The police had gained the day. The fight
had been snort, but decisive. The trouble
was not over vet, however. The police mad

he was iued. The car By this time was
righted and the horses hitched TO il. IL was
drawn to tAe other track and taken back to
the stable. No more violence was at

AT OTHER STABLES.
The scenes az the other stables were
somewhat similar. Large crowds sur
rounded the stables. All the residents of
the district in the neighborhood of Nestry
street, through which the Grand street cars
pass, symla!hize with the strikers. Hear

the vicinity and massed them in the street,
completely blocking it to travel Later in

route wero successfully made, attended in
all cases by a continual row from end to
