IsRIKE SYMPATaIzER THROWS his DIN
NER PAIL AT A CAR.
An Employee Of the Company Struck With frl'k'
and a Car Atacksd-Bsnsfi Entertain
men. For the Strikers.

There was a repetition, or rather
continuation, yesterday, Of the dis
graceful scenes which have occurred on
the South Side since the beginning OF
the street railway strike. IL was com
menced early in the morning, when one
of the first cars out Of the barn was
struck with a brick, which passed
through two windows. An annoyance
which should be stopped by the police
or by parents, is the practice Of small
boys jumping on the cars, and applying
epithets 10 the employees.
Shortly before six o'clock Dan Gar
vim. an emplOye Of one OF the Ben
wood industrial plants, was return
ing from work with his dinner pail IN
his hand. When he reached Forty-thlrd
street. a car was passing down JACOB.
He threw the pail at the car, but did
not strike any person, the contents OF
the bucket, including several eggs
falling into the street. The
man was plainly in an In
toxicated condition. An officer who
was standing near by witnessed the az
fair, and az once placed the man under
arrest He was taken 70 the Eighth
ward lookup, in the rear Of the engine
house. and placed in a cell, where ne
remained until the patrol wagon brought
up the special squad of police, about
ten o'clock, He was placed IN the lock
uD. and will appear before Mayor Cald-
well this morning.
About six o'clock a sOuth-bOund mo-
tor was attacked by a crowd OF boys
and Young men, on Main street, near
the Belmont mill, and Une OF the com
pany's employees was struck with a
brick. The car was nearing twenty
seventh street, when a shower OF stones
and mud was thrown from the side
walk. An emplOye OF the Company
was a passenger on the car. lie
walked out TO the rear platform TO
ascertain the cause Of the trouble, ana
was struck in the left cheek WITH
brick, badly bruising the flesh and cut
ting a small cash. The crowd OF boys
then scattered. The car proceeded TO
the corner, the point where the break
In the water main occurred, and 10 was
found that pile Of mud and cinders
was heaced on the track, which It re-
Ouired several minutes TO remove. There
were three passengers on the car, IN
GLIDING one lady, and all were badly
frightened by the fusillade Of stones.
There is no immediate prospect OF
settlement OF the strike, as both sides
seem determined not to give an inch.
Manager jolly is confident that the feel
ing against the company will change,
and the patronage in due time become
as good as ever. On the other hand,
the strikers are receiving encourage
ment from labor unions, and also
they say from some unlOOked-Ior
sources. About one-fourth Of the old
men have found employment on the
wagon lines and elsewhere. Yesterday
Chas. Sylvis returned from Pittsburg,
where be had been soliciting aid, and
presented a very encouraging report.
At the Office of the Company il was
stated Yesterday that the patronage is
slewly increasing, while the bus line
carries the usual number Of people.
The strikers are making arrange
ments for benefit entertainment, to be
given by local talent, at the Grand
Opera House, within two weeks. The
date has not yet been selected, but it
will probably be Tuesday evening,
March 21. Manager Genther has ten
dered the use OF the theatre free OF
cost, and already a number OF persons
have consented TO participate.
