with 80 non.union men. who were at
once lodged in the depot Each corner
on the east side OF the avenue was
thronged with strikers and their sympa-
thizers, while in front OF the stables were
drawn up 100 men OF the Twenty third
regiment under Captain Thorne. The
strikers contented themselves with hoot-
ing and jeering the militia.
Some hour previous to the running OF
the first car the repair wagon Of the
Brooklyn Heights company went down
Third avenue to clear the track between
and Fifty-second streets. The
block between these two streets was
filled with bricks. stones. lumber and
trunks OF trees which had been cut in
the vicinity, so as to make the running
of cars an impossibility. The repair
wagon was manned by IL men and es.
corted by troops. When they reached
the Pequod club, the strikers head
quarters, at Fifty-ffth street. some
800 men who had assembled there
jesred and denounced the escort and
hurled several volleys at the men who
we're removing the obstacles. i.ieuten-

troops, called on them TO dispense. The
strikers replied by another avalanche OF
stones. Lietenant Bagley then ordered

charged them with naked blades. Some
Of the strikers received sword thrusts,
but managed to escape. No further dis.
turbance occurred during the day.
At the strikers headquarters the men
were still confident. and said If it took
800 men to run one car, the company
would not continue long. They also
averred that the number of scabs &c.
cured for employ ment was far below the
number required.
