 ment-Cost of the New York Strike.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-The strike on the At- Iantic avenue railroad in Brooklyn was for mally declared off yesterday afternoon and this morning there was rnsh of old employees anxious to get back into the service of the company. The office and railways of the building were packed with a solid mass of men and in the stable adjoining there were about 100 men, while the sidewalk was thronged with others awaiting an opportunity to enroll their names. The terms of the agreement made between President Richard son and the committee of nine men repre- lows:
 That the said employees hereby declare their willingness and desire to re-enter the company's employ.
 It is understood and agreed that the men who have been definitely engaged and employ ed by the said Atlantic avenue railroad com pauy of Brooklyn shall have precedence over the late said employees, and we hereby pledge ourselves to secure to the said newly engaged ana 6mplOyeQ men, ana to LnS lraVeliHS pup lio who use the aforesaid several lines of the Atlantic avenue railroad company of Brook lyn, immunity from further assault or insult by the said late employees, or by others in their behalf, and we now declare the said strike to be fully and entirely off.
 Cars are running to-day on the two branch es of the Fifth avenue line, the Seventh ave- nue and the Fifteenth street lines on the same headway as yesterday. Tomorrow morning the four other lines of the company will begin operations, and in day or two cars will be running over all the routes on full schedule time.
 THE COST OF THE NEW YORK STRIKE.
 In computing the gains and losses in the street car tie-up in this city, it is instructive to note that ex-Conviet Msgee andEhis crowd are the only ones on the profit side of the ac. count. Whatever they have made out of the strike must, if the account is to be balanced, offset:
 A loss of about s10O,0OO to the men, not counting their extra cost of living during the eight days that the strike lasted; loss by the companies vsriously estimated at from $200,O00 to $S00,000; and loss to the public in convenience and time that it is impossible to estimate.
 In speaking of the losses of the men and the companies prominent railroad man said: "Well. there were between 6,0Q0 and 1000 men who went out, and they stayed out eight days; if we should strike, an average and say that $500 men stopped work eight days. and that they would each have received two dollars day if they had been at work, you plainly see that the loss is $104,000. Some of the men, however, do not receive g day, but as an offset to this, and one that, to my mind, has been an expensive one to the men, is the extra cost of living while they were idle. Not that ali of them spent money in sa- looms (though number of them did), but while idle they had great many temptations to spend money that they would not have had if they had been at work.
 Superintendent Murray tonight dismissed the reserve that had been on duty. No more trouble is anticipated from the car men.
 Mrs. Mary Ryno was knocked down and killed by Grand street car at the corner of Hudson and Vestry street tonight. The horses of the car became frightened at pass ing dummy engine and the lines breaking the driver could not hold them. Fox, the driver, was arrested.
