RUNNING SMOOTHLY.
THE STREET CARS AGAIN STARTED UP YES
TERDAY.
Plenty Of P9lice on the Scene in Waiting for Dis
turbancs-NO Settlement as Yet with the
Srikars--What Manager Jolly Says

Yesterday the street railway system
seemed to take on new life. The cars were
again started up, and this time unac-
eompanied by any disturbances. There
were four cars run around the loop,
two over to Martins Ferry and one to
Benwood. There were no outbreaks
during the day of any consequence,
and the cars ran along smoothly until
5 o'clock last night, when they were
run into the barn and housed for the
night. No attempt will be made to run
the cars after dark for few nights,
until more new employees are secured.
Mayor Caldwell, accompanied by Chief
of Police McNichol, drove down to the
South Side yesterday morning, aud Wis
tied the places where the worst dis
turbances had been since the beginning
Of the strike. At Ford's Crossing
stones and bricks were piled on the
tracks, and the Mayor alighted and be-
gan throwing the stones from the
=.
well said here that il the police could
not protect TIE street railway property
he would deputize fifty private citizens
and see that order was maintained.
The Mayor continued his course and
had frequent talks with men along the
line.
Four hacks and two buses were run
ming Yesterday and they did fairly
good business. The street cars were
not very literally patronized, partially
from the fact that the people still stood
in fear of an outbreak. Still late In the
afternoon the cars filed up more rapid
ly, as people began TO notice that the
coast was clear
Flagmen on the railroad crossings
blame the new employees for coming too
close to the road before stopping and
sometimes going over without getting
from their cars to flag them. The flag
man at Ford's crossing, says that be
saved a street car from dashing into
Baltimore and Ohio train yesterday, by
a timely lowering of the gates. Several
other persons corroborated this gentle
man ia that the escape was a very mar
row one.
One OF the new employees, accom-
panied by his mother, came down in
the Eighth ward yesterday. Their OBJ
iect was to secure board and rooms, ana
for this purpose they applied at well
known boarding house on La Belle ave-
nue.. The LADY refused TO take them as
boarders in the most Scathing OF terms
and the boarders declare had the new
corners been taken in they would have
Quit the boarding place at once.
Yesterday morning Chief OF Police
McNichol placed number OF the night
force at different points in South Wheel
ing. Officers Watson, Minkemyer and
Ritz were stationed at FOrty-third
street; Officers Carney and Buch at
Forty-eighth; Officers Conrad ana
Stump at Thirty-ninth, and Myers and
Donovan at Ford's crossing. The men
were relieved at one o'clock in the
afternoon by the remainder of the night
force, and they were kept on until after
dark.
Warrants were sworn out yesterday
before Squire Ankle for several OF the
assailants OF Tuesday, and they are now
being located for arrest The persons
swearing out the warrants were the
three operators on the car Nina that
we're so savagely attacked on Tuesday
Afternoon.
The strikers union met at > o'clock
and sent Mayor Caldwell and Chief OF
Police McNichol to Mr.. jolly for terms
Of settlement. He said he would only
receive individual applications for men
on the terms contained in his commune
cation to them (prnted in his card) and
that while he would pay 20c. per hour,
and would not take all the old men
back, he would take as many
of them as he had places for
and would not ask whether they
belonged to a union or not. They
must, however, obey the rules OF the
company. lie had gone to large ex-
pense, laid down q goOd track, got good
cars and must nave good men who would
obey his orders, to give the people good
service. As for the damage done he
knew some OF the strikers were respon-
sible for It, and some one would have to
pay for the property destroyed. The
answer was taken back by the Mayor
and Chief to the Union. The Union
men denied they had done any damage
or were responsible for any done by
Others and that they didn't countenance
that sort of thing.
