of the East New York depot to-day. At {
o'clock this evening, as tho cars began to
| come in, they were held in the depot for
/ the night. Quiet prevailed at Ridge
wood this evening. They had stopped
running at that time. The militia was
then removed from the streets IN the i'm
mediate vicinity of the stables, having
! been relieved by detachment of police.
! Superintendent Harris OF the Suburban
railroad was arrested by Lleuten-
ants Clayton and Mcleod of
Company L. Of the 9Th regiment
this afternoon for persisting in moving
cars in which members OF the regiment
were sleeping. About o'clock this even
ing the members Of the First regiment
had brush with a mob Of lJO men who
had smashed the windows OF the cars OF
the Ralph avenue line. Twenty men
rushed TO the scene AMI dispersed tho
crowd and the cars resumed their trip,
accompanied By tho troops.
From early morning until noon. there
was more excitement IN the vicinity OF
Third avenue and the railroad depot than
Here has been since the strike COM
menced. The barns at Third avenue and
5sth street presented busy scene at IL
o'clock when the Court street car reached
the depot filled with % non-union
men, who we're at once lodged
IN tho depot. Each corner on the East
side of the avenue was througed by the
strikers and their sympathizers, while IN
front of tho stables were drawn up iO)
men of the Twenty-third regiment. The
strikers contentcd themselves with hoot-
ing and ieering the militia. At tho
strikers headquar:crs tho men are still
nj 81 n
to run one car, the company would not
continue long.
BROOKLYN. Jan. 23.-At least one life
has been sacrificed in the strike of the
motormen an con luctors of tho trolly
lines-Henr, Ahls, for dIsreSardng
command 10 halt. was shot by the mile
tary and died to- Law. The injured can DO
counted by scores, but the most have been
kept under cover in order that they may
not be prosecuted by the police for cre-
ating a disturbance.
This is the 10ih day of the big strike,
and a settlement still hangs in tho ball
auce. The railroad companies can oper-
ate their lines as far ns necessary ar
rangemcnts go, but up to the present they
have secured only about 400 now men.
Despite the assurance of Mayor SchIeran
the military force IN Brooklyn is insutli-
cicnt to do all required of il. 1t IL believed
he has made request Tor add tional
troops To be held in readiness for
an emergency. In every quarter of tho
city wires were cut and stables aul power
houses were subject to dcsultory bonn
barlment 10y stones. but few of the mall
factors were arrested. The line men have
stopped work, but as far as can be learned
they have not been called out as an or
gan zat.on. 1t is probable the electricians
and expert mechanics may also refuse to
continue work. Several new lines, IL is
expected, will bo opened up today. The
excitement began today about . 20, when
n wagon load of about dozen non-union
men arrived in charge of Troop 4 of New
York. At jlst street and Third avenue,
the strikers headquarters, n lot of stones
were thrown Al the troopers and wagon.
The troopers charged the mob and drove
them back into their headquarters and
down the side streets.
Until 9:lS o'clock the number of cars in
operation was about half that of ycster-
day. Tho Fulton street and Flatbush
avenue lines succeeded in getting only
one or two cars through TO the bridge.
The reason is the wires have been cut and
the men refused TO repair them. The
companies are also short of motormeu.
Tho linemen say they will not strike in n
body, as the motormcn refused to help
them year ago when they had difficulty
with the companies. Fifty rioters had n
fight with the militia at Fifth avenue and
y IN street. Rcd pepper Is freely used by
the rioters ami many policemen and sold
icrs are suffering from sore eyes.
