Shore system were il not for the crowds OF
men that gathered along the depot and
tracks at the foot Of Columbia street at
the incoming and Outgoing OF every
train all day yesterday, drawn there out
of curiosity TO see what the strikers would
DO to the non-union crews that were found
at work on every train in and out All
were agreeably disappointed, however. tor
nothing occurred to mar tho peace and
harmony of the day save one. little Incl
dent started By few persons shouting
"scab, " and checked by the self possession
OF humorous engineer. This occurred at
IL 80, about the time the special excursion
train was ready to start for the
new university ground. A non-union
crew was on the engine and gang OF

''scabs." The one policeman on hand
was powerless to keep back the crowd.
which closed in on the engine. surround
ing it on all sides and gradually working
itself into riotous condition by yells and
shouts. The policeman ran to a telephone
and called for assistance from headquar-
tiers, which came down promptly in the
patrol wagon in the shape of five officers
headed by the chief of police himself.
Before their ARRIVAL, however, the mob
had so crowded on the track that it was
not safe for the engine to move. The en-
gineer put his head out of the cab and
cautioned the crowd to clear the track .'or
look OUT" This only increased the yell
ing and the next momant stream of
dirty, black. sooty steam exhausted
through the smokestack. went flying
around the engine and not only scattering
the crowd in every direction, but raising
q loud laugh from the outside onlookers.
The reinforcement of police on its ar
rival had nothing further TO do but keep
back the good-natured crowd. Several in
nocent persons who happened 20 be too
close to the engine were made sufferers
from this douche, among them being
Superintendent Kline, whose nice clean
suit of clothes was rendered unfit for any
further Fourth Of July use. A man who
had good suit of clothes spoiled by the
smutty water complained at the PosT-
INTELLIGENCER Office that it was due TO the
engineers incompetency. but the engineer
seemed TO do 1t for the purpose of clearing
the track.
Aside from this incident nothing trans
pired all day. Trains left and came as
and quiet. The strikers had their agents
to meet the engineers and other trainmen
OF every incoming train, and after taking
them aside invariably succeeded in Undue
ing them to desert their post on promises
of being well cared for pending the strike.
Their places were as quickly filled by nom
union men, so that the change made no
perceptible difference to the road.
United States Deputy Marshal Quilter
had thirteen special deputies on duty
around the Lake Shore depot and other
points where he deemed it advisable TO
look after the property in the hands of the
receiver. His services. however. were not
called on during the entire day. and his
deputies were so quietly scattered among
the various groups of men around that no
one could tell who they were. Detectives
were also on watch unobserved to note any
person doing damage and to keep a lookout
for thieves. who always go where there is
a crowd.
The first train out on the Lake Shore
road yesterday morning was the regular
passenger for Surnas, scheduled to leave at
7 o'clock. This had its regular engineer.
O. Il. Simmons, with a non-union fireman.
The train was delayed some by reason of
Brakeman Jackson having deserted, and
failing to show up on time the train finally
left without him.
The next train was the special Y NJ. C.
A. excursion to SnoQualmie, scheduled to
leave at s:35. This was delayed about
twenty-five minutes by reason of the strike
among the ostlers, who failed TO fire the
engines. as well as the strike among the
engineers and firemen of the switch
engines. Superintendent Kline was equal
to the emergency. however, and a non
union crew was soon on hand and the
train pulled ont with its regular conduc-
tor, Lamere, in charge, the passengers in
the crowded coaches accepting the situa-
ton very good naturedly.
The special excursion train to the new
university grounds, scheduled to leave at
IL O'Clock. went out on time with a non
union crew and its regular conductor,
Gegax, in charge. His brakeman, Booth
was induced 10 desert his post This
train made two round trips, and on the
second run Fireman Luckey allowed him
self to be persuaded to quit. giving as a
reason that he couldn't afford to risk hl $
life
The last train out was the regular pas
senger for Woolley. which left on time at
us in the afternoon with fair load of
passengers and q non-nnion engine ere "
and its regular train crew.
Three trains came in beside the two spe-
cials TO the new university grounds. The
first train arrived from Wonlley. IL vas

little late. On its arrival Engineer stod.
dard and his crew were asked by Superin.

the others. Mr.. Kline had a non-union
crew standing By him, and as Stoddard
and his men stepped of the Others stepped
on. aud .hst matter was settled without
any waste Of words on either side.
The Snoquslmie excursion train returned
20 Seattle at Gao, with Engineer Be.ding
aad his fireman in the cab. Master Me-
chanie Gabriel had accompanied this train
10 North Bend 10 meet any emergency
that might arise. and he had hardly
landed in Seattle when he was told that
Engineer Charley Znkey and his fireman
had deserted their incoming train AZ Bal

engine from the excursion train and
started for Ballard. whore he found the
train, and after giving Zinkey a piece of
