We'll have merry hell here in the morning
The cars on the various lines were supposed u
start at o'clock in the morning. and the crowds
bent on mischief, but fearful OF the guns Of the
soldiers, and riors fearful Of the police clubs,
gathered at respectful distance from every one
Of the depots. As the police didn't raid them
and tho soldiers didn't charge on them, they
kept inching mp and inching mp. In the frsttwo
hours there was not depot In the city
where the policemen didn't have tough Job
after the crowd began TO inch. Raid after raid
was made everywhere. At Fifth avenue and
fwsnty.third street the militia marched on the
crowd. and q man named Andrew Brown was
isbbed with q bsyonet. At Halsey street and
Putnam avenue the police had half . dozen
encounters with the crowd. which gathered In
tho vacant lots and threw stones At the cars. In
Bergen street, near Vanderbilt avenue. there
were several disturbances. There were others
ct Greene avenue and Sumner avenue. and =
motorman was whipped. At Troy avenue the
cars OF the Sumner avenue line were stoned and
the windows broken. and time and again the
police had to charge.
wIRE-CurrTNo sPREAps.
At Patchen avenue and G Gstss avenue . wagon
full OF patrolmen and non union mon was met
by mob of . hundred or so. who rushed up.
seized the wheels. and deliberately turned the
ran away before the policemen could get at
them. BY far the most serious damage that was
done during the day so far the railroad COM
psny was concerned, was the cutting of wires.
On Third avenue, from Forty-eighth TO Fifty
second street, the strikers cut down all the
feed wires, and efectually tied up the
Third avenue road, on which the company
had intended TO start some cars. On the Fulton
street line wires wero cut in several places;
the other lines. Every wiro that was cut tied
up q good portion of . road. and II took long
time to make repairs, as the wires were cut in
90 many places. This was the excuse offered
later by the officials OF the railroad company
for not having run moro cars.
About $3.50 p. NJ. the feed trolley wire on the
Bergen street line was cut at . point about mid
way between Rogers and Nostrand avenues. Po-
liceman Collins was on the front Of Bergen
street car going in tho direction of Rogers
avenue at the time, and seeing four
men running of through the vacant lots.
Jumped Of, and drawing his revolver, pursued
them. He caught ono man. but whether he was
one of the fugitives could not be positively as
ceftained, as he was standing In tho lot when
the policeman collared him. The prisoner was
taken to the station. where he gave tho name of
Edward Dugan, aged 80 years Of / sos Dean
street. He is q striking motorman on the Sack
EFT street line.
Motorman w. Goldulvey Of tho Atlantic ave-
nue. line while on his way home last night in
Troy avenue. near Atlantic, was attacked by
three men and badly hurt.
Policeman Charles McCue Of the Tenth pre-
cinct was attacked while dispensing crowd in
Vanderbilt avenue. Bergen street. Some
of the members OF the Twelfth Regiment came
to his assistance. and Thomas Larkin. aged "a.
OF $50 Third avenue one of his assailants was
arrested.
SHOT FROM THE TwENrY-THIRD.
At 10 o'clock man stepped out of the big
crowd in front OF the stables at Fifty-eighth
street and Third avenue and threw stone
through one of the windows In the stable.
1t fell among the soldiers OF Company l of the
Twenty-third Regiment and started them
quickly to their feet. They rushed for the
door to chase the strikers. but before they
could get out OF the stables tho guard
fired at the stone thrower who got away unhurt.
Then the soldiers in n few minutes dispersed the
crowd. which was quite anxious to quit when
the shot was fired.
