The result of the street railway COM
pany's second attempt yesterday to run
cars on the West Seventh street line
afforded little encouragement to the
striking drivers. At 80 in the morn
ing five cars were run out, and started
under police escort similar to that of
the day before. The drivers had be-
come more courageous, and were con-
tent to drive further apart, relieving
the cars and the escort somewhat
of the appearance of a procession.
Small groups of workingmen and strik-
erS were passed Oh the way down, and
Oh the principal street corners down
town large crowds had gathered. but
they were content with simply yelling
Rats" and other OpprOfriouS epithetS
at the drivers. "WhiSkerS" Kaufman
was again the driver of the first car, and,
as on the day before, was not overlooked
by the crowds. He withstood the jeers
and gibes heroically though, and con-
Quoted himself in manner that
would recommend him to the
earnest consideration of any base ball
association whose complement of UNI
pires is still incomplete. Orders had
been given to take on board any pas
SengerS who Signaled the cars, and
about half a dozen people, tired of
walking, availed themselves of the OPP
portunity 10 ride. Arrived at the Wa
baSha street turn-table. the cars were
turned around and started back, not the
least disturbance having resulted dur
ing the trip. Other trips during the
day were but repetition of the first
one, and in the afternoon the number of
cars was increased to eight. After the
second trip the patrol wagons were
withdrawn to the central station, where,
with large detail of officers, they were
held in readiness for any
DISTURBANCE THAT MIGHT ARISE.
The mounted phalanX was broken and
the men ordered to patrol the line.
These. with three officers Oh each car
and large number of patrolmen de-
tailed along the route. sufficed to main
tain perfect order. The only disturb
anceS during the day were the explosion
of a torpedo under car near the Peo-
pies theater and an ATTEMPTED obstruc-
ton of the track with wagon near the
Market house, for which the owner,
Rice street contractor, was arrested.
About 2 o'clock car was driven off of
the WabaSha street turn-table. the
driver became ratified" and several
hundred people gathered to boot
and howl in derision. Chief
Clark came with several officers.
ran the car back, and the crowd soon
dispersed. The strikers themselves
were very orderly. One aged barn man
who allowed his wrath to get the better
of his Judgment, was very loud in his
denunciatiOn of the men who were
driving, but while standing near the
market house deriding them, he was
taken by two eX-driverS and quietly led
away. While the company made good
start and ran its cars unmOleSted, it did
not attempt TO run last night. The last
car left Wabasha street at Sis. 1t is
expected that cars will be
RUN TO-DAY ON REGULAR TINE
on the Seventh street line and that an
attempt will be made to reopen traffic
on the University avenue and Oakland
avenue lines. Just how many drivers
the company has at its command the
officers do not state, but it is known
that twenty-four men, imported from
Kansas City, arrived yesterday after
noon at 2 O'Clock. Part of them were
driven to the Market restaurant and fed
and afterwards taken to the Ramsey
street barn. The others were driven
out to the Greenbrier barn. They were
all taken to the Market restaurant
again last night for supper, and after
wards returned to the barns, where cots
for them TO sleep upon had been pre-
ViOuSly taken
