stables without injury.
REIGN OF TERRoR RESULTS.
The firing Of the troops caused a reign
of terror in the vicinity, which lasted till
about o'clock, when the troops marched
| 10 the city Han, entered trolley cars
and were transported to their armory.

ciaI term, heard arguments at ii O'Clock
to-day by DeiOs McCurdy, of New York,
and NJ. l.. Towns, Of Brooklyn. in the
application Of Joseph Loader & Coz Full
fJ@sstI|et merchants, on an order to
show cause why a writ of manda mus
should net issue against the Brook
lyn Heights railroad TO compel them TO
operate their lines. The company was
represented by Julian r. Davies Of New
York, and Thomas II. Moore, OF Brook
