AGRRB TO ARBITRATE
REPLY FROM CHAIRMAN DOBLES, OF The
TRADES ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE
To he Council RssOlu6ons--An Unsyensial Day
Yesterday Along the Line Of the
Electric Railway.

Things were very quiet along the line
Of the street railway, yesterday-ior
change.
Cars ran with fair degree OF regu-
larity, from early morning until nine
o'clock last night, and while there was
no perceptible increase in the patron
age-at least not below Caldwell's run
there were very few distractions on the
line and but two or three stones thrown
NJ ears. This was taken as indicating
that the people OF lawless dispositions
were getting tired OF their oid-tlme
snort and there were hopes entertained
last night that the worst was over.
Whether this is the fact, or 1t is the
calm which presages the storm, time
alone will tell.
