no official notice from tho railroad COM
psnies that they were about to open
new lines, consequently the police

The same llues are in operation to-
day n, were running yesterday. On

was a great deal of disturbance, nine
cars we're running this morning and
both along the line and at the stables OF
the company at Sumner avenue and

MOB MARCHES TO MARTIAL MUSIC.
AIS o'clock this morning a mob OF
strikers marched down Ninth avenue
to Fifth avenue and Twenty.fourth
street They numbered 800. and were
supplied with drums with which they
made the night hideous in that imme-
date neighborhood. They filed by tho
militiamen and jeered them, but as tho
soldiers paid no attention TO the abuse
the strikers soon grew tired and dis
appeared.
An effort Was made by the strikers
this morning to coerce the men who
we're at work on the Second avenue line,
which starts from the Thirty.ninth
stree, ferry, South Brooklyn. into join.
ing the ranks Of the Knights OF Labor.
Considerable excitement wa, caused in
the neighborhood by the violence dis.
played by the strikers. Although a
number Of cars are running on the var.
ious lines which are open, noticeable
feature OF the day was the comparative
Iy few passengers who patronized tho
cars Of the railroad companies. 1t was
evidently considered too great risk 10
ride in them by the public. In conse.
I, queuce OF the orders OF the police, the
liquor saloons throughout tho city were
closed up tight at midnight, and in the
reghborhood where the strikers were
congregated they were kept closed tight.
