THE NAMES CHOSEN.
LIST OF THE STRIKING EMPLOYEES WHO WILL

in Operation This Week.

Yesterday morning the former en-
ployes of the electric street railway were
relieved Of their anxiety regarding the
securing of their old positions on the
road. Manager jolly prepared a list OF
twenty six men, who will be given
places as soon as possible, and there is
an implied understanding that the
names remaining on the list Of employees
will constitute a reserve list from which
all vacancies on the line will be filed.
The strikers did not assemble at the
barn a. o'clock, as expected, but In
stead held meeting at that hour at
Nol,e's Hall. A committee was ap-
pointed to see Manager Jolly. They
| secured a list OF the men whom he had
selected, and returned to the hall. Fol-

After reading the names from the list,
the members passed resolutions thank
ing the different committees for the
work which they performed and the
public for its generous support OF the
men during the strike. The situation
was informally discussed, and although
there were many expressions OF disap-
pointment, a disposition was manifested
10 make the most out OF very bad case.
1t was the intention to put extra cars
on the "loOp" and Island to-day, and
steam was raised In the boilers yester-
dav. During the day the engines were
running, and it was discovered that
some repairs will have to be made. 1t
is hardly probable that the additional
cars will be in operation to-day. The
five cars which it is proposed to add to
the equipment Of the road at. once, Will
give employment to but ten men, and II
may be several weeks before places are
found for the other men.
The patronage Of the road yesterday
was excellent, and the service provided
was In every way satisfactory. The
company proposes to make other extern
slye Improvements, upon which work
will be shortly commenced. Before the
summer season is far advanced Mana
ger Jolly's promise that a road second
to none in the country will be provided,
will be realized. In Benwood, and at
several other points, the heavy rails will
be substituted for the present ones. The
Summer cars are being reprinted and
repaired, and II the present mild
weather continues, will be running over
the road within short time. With the
new power plant in operation, a five
minutes service will be given on the
'loop." The old passes issued by the
company will be recalled, and 100-ticket
books substituted, but in much better
form than the old books.
