ana the public can once again ride Of
the only carriages the majority of the
public can afford, without any chance
OF their auricuiar appendages being
greeted with the jeeTs and yeils Of

and people were mOmenlarly ex-
Fecnng al outbreak, but those
who INDUCED IN such expectations were
doomed 70 disappointment. In short,
the whole time OF the duration OF the
strike was characterized by a degree OF
moderation and temperate conduct on
the part of the strikers that was as un-
expected asst was gratifying. As much
can not be said for others, who were in
sympathy with the strikers and who
showed their enthusiasm IN turbulent
and lnludlc.Ous manner. that not only
rendered them liable 10 arrest, but ma
terally injured the very cause for
which they We're up 10 arms. Had such
misplaced yehemence continued 1t
would undoubtedly have had the effect
OF alternating the good opinion OF those
who were disposed % favOrably regard
the claims of the strikers.
While the day, Us a whole may be
SAID 10 have passed quietly, yet there
were several overt acts committed that
led 20 arrests aud considerable excite
ment.
As Wealthy-ave. car was proceeding
down Canal-st., about 3 p. m. two
strikers, John Unthink and Cornelius
Byienga boarded it. A moment or
two afterwards Deputy Sheriff Ben
Gilden and John Unshink came pell-
nell Oft the car and Unthink was
locked up. His case was afterwards
adjourned 10 the SOth inst. The man
states IN his defense and IS cOrrOborated
by his companion, that the conductor
beckOned TO him and when they board
ed the car GIlden ordered them to pay
their fare. Unthink replied that he
didn't have to, 10 HIM, and Gilden I'M
mediately seized and placed him under
arrest. He says also, that he was not
asked for his fare by the conductor of
the car and the latter substantlates his
statement. Gilden on his part declares
that Unthnk called him names.
During the afternoon one John CHS
lvItz, sympathIzer with the strikers,
was arrested on Snawmut-ave., for
throwing eggs at the driver of a Cherry
-. car, and Tor other disorderiy canduct.
Later IN the afternoon he was tried IN
police court, and sentenced TO pay a
flne Of $50 or go TO jail for ninety days.
Another synpathlZer was Henry Ger
hess, who was arrested for dlsOrGerly
conduct, inasmuch as he stood on a
corner and called a street car driver a
"scab." HIS case was adjourned to the
30th also. The boy Claude Hamilton,
who was arrested on Sunday, has not
yet had a hearing.
There was not much demonstration
OF any sort during the morning, but at
