No new lines nave been opened, as
President Lewis promised they would.
superintendent Campbell said early
this morning he had received no
official notice from the railroad COM
panies that they were about TO open

day as were runAng yesterday. On
Bergen street. where. yesterday, there
was a great deal of disturbance, nine
cars were running this morning, and
both along tls line and at the stables
of the company at Sumner avenue
and Bergen street everything was
quiet. At the stables two companies
of the Thirteenth regiment were
guarding the property of the COM

From midnight last night there We're
the usual number of minor disturb
ences likely to occur at such a time.
AT a. M the wire on the uptown
track at Sackman street, on the Full

They made the night hideous in that
immediate neighborhood. They filed
by the miEtamen and jeered at them,
but as the soldiers paid no attention to
tine abuse the strikers soon grew tired
and disappeared
An effort Was made by the strikers
this morning to coerce the nan who
were at work on the Second avenue
line, which starts from the Tl11rtiehh
street ferry, South Brooklyn, into join
ing the ranks of the knights of Labor.
Some excitement was caused in the
neigh,boI[hood by the violence dis
played by the strikers, Although a
Aumper of cars are running ON the
Various hines which are open, a no
aiceable feature of the day was the
comparatively few passengers who

1t was evidently considered too great
q. risk to ride I'm them by the public.
In consequence of the orders of the
police, the liquor saloons throughout
the city were closed UP tight at mid
