sTREET-CAR STRIKERS RIOT.


PITTsBURG, Jan. 19.-An attempt was
made. this morning. to break the strike on
the Pittsburg, Allegheny & Manchester
street-railroad, and run cars with new men.
A car was started from the sheds at 1890.
and had proceeded as far as Juniata street
when an unknown man cut the trolley
rope. bringing the car to o stand-still. 1t
was soon surrounded by friends Of the
strikers, and, on the refusal of the
conductor and motorman to de-
sert the car. the situation became SO
threatening that the car was run back to
the sheds. Two more cars were sent ont
but they met the same fate, and the OIL
cials then decided to wait until this after
noon, when the company started ten cars
and ran them until o'clock. when they
were taken off. as IL was considered dam
gerous To operate the road after dark.
Large crowds of strikers and their friends
congregated in the lower part of Allegheny.
and as the cars passed they were greeted
with ieers, and groans, and showers OF
snow balls.
At $50 o'clock a crowd of fully 800 assem-
bled at tho corner OF Beaver avenue and
Washington street When the last car
came along the mob surrounded It. and for
a time q serious riot seemed imminent. A
man named Mitchell made an attempt to
pull the trolley off the wire, when conductor
shannon struck at him with whip. Mitch
ell drew a revolver. but before he could use
it he was arrested. A moment later large
bowlder was thrown and the glass in the
car door was shattered. This was followed
by q fusillade of stones and snow balls.
One Of the missiles hit motorman Seamans
and slightly cut his chin. The car was
finally started and the rest of the trip made
without interference. This evening the
sheriff was called upon for protection and
fifty officers, under the charge of Chief
Murphy, have been detailed for duty to-
morrow. An application for an Injunction
was also made in the county courts. asking
that the strikers local assembly X. of L..
and District Master Workman Dempsey be
restrained from interfering with the opera
ton of the road. There will be a hearing
on the application tomorrow. The situa-
fion is growing serious. but it is thought

Thanks to tho Police COMMITTEES.

.. ~ ~ . ~
On Friday night last tho police com.
mittee Of Council ordered the reinstatc-
ment Of n policeman dismissed for
drunkenness. On Sunday morning fol-
lowing two policemen, men OF good
record, went into two saloons, induced
the breaking Of the Sunday law and got
drunk.
II the police committee cannot see its
handiwork in these delinquencies it
must be because 1t is unable to perceive
the intimate relation between cause and
effect. The action OF the committee in
the Stanley case was q suggestion to the
police force to 20 and get itself democrat
lied and rely on the committee for pro-
I. lection.
There are some extenuating circum-
stances which may be taken into ac-
count in the cases OF Officers Terrill and
Erohme. They have both been good
officers. Terrill has been one OF the
very best men on the force. When he
realized what he had done on Sunday
no disregarded the bad advice OF his
friends to try his luck before the police
committee. lie showed the man by
confessing his wrong, rendering his
resignation and acknowledging that he
had forfeited his place. This does not
blot out the o%fiense, but it shows that
there is manhood in the offender.
Frohme and Terrill had been at work
at the fire, were wet and thought they
needed stimulating drink. The result
shows how great q mistake they made,
but when everything is taken into con-
sideration their ofense is not beyond
forgive less. They should by al means
be punished by suspension, but from
the character OF the men, the record
they have made and the good there
seems to be in them it does not appear
that the discipline Of the force requires
their dismissal.
They are not likely to repeat the Of
Tense. nor, if the chief be allowed to
govern his men according to the rules
he has laid down, is it probable that
other members of the force will be
tempted to follow the bad example.
