 Brooklyn, Jan. 27.-The City of Churches had comparatively quiet day. The troops were ready for any gathering of rioters that might be re- ported, but were not ordered out in any numbers. The Seventy-first regiment, which had five companies at the Bergen street stables, was moved to the TWen- ty-third regiment armory last night The Thirteenth regiment was also held in It's armory all night. These two reg ments and Troop A were under waiting orders in the expectation of trouble in Greenpoint to-day.
 The day opened quiet in Father OHare's charge and the troops did not invade the section of the city whose cit izens alternately petition the mayor for cars and stone cars when they arrive In various outlying places, as well as on many built-up streets, wire-cutting and stone-throwing were indulged in, and a number of arrests were made The Greenpoint cars lost many panes of glass and the cross-town cars were not run to South Brooklyn and the Erie Basin district.
 Car SIS of the Hamilton avenue line was stoned at Hamilton avenue and Mill street at 2:30 D. m. A section of brick came through the glass windows and narrowly missed a young lady's head, She screamed and ran out on the platform One of the two policemen on the car got off and gazed at the sky The conductor pointed to two men run ning. across a vacant lot and said:
 There they go.'
 The policemen made no attempt to fol- low, but returned to the platform. The car went on without further trouble A solitary passenger on cross-town car had a lively experience. The car was passing through Park avenue, near the navy yard, when a shower of bricks and stones rattled on the roof. Several windows were smashed. The passenger to save his skull pulled up the wooden blinds. The policeman on the rear plat form entered the car and ordered the passenger to stop. The latter replied:
 q propose to protect myself. You do not give me any protection
 The policeman retired to the platform. Nearly all the glass in the car was bro ken. There were no big crowds, but smalr groups of men and boys threw the stones as the car passed. No arrests were made.
 The first car from Fifty-eighth street to Fort Hamilton was started at p, m. It got as far as Sixty-eighth street where the track was found to be block aded. There was gang waiting for the car. It was stoned and the motor man and conductor were hit. Another crowd attacked the car at Ninety eighth street. A squad of mounted po- lice charged the crowd and scattered 1t. Robert Burns a nineteen-year-old stone thrower, was arrested. A number or non-union men arrived at the Halsey street depot last night and are being 1n- structed how to handle the cars.
 A cold wind was blowing all day and the men of the various regiments on picket duty suffered from the effects of this. Colonel Appleton of the Seventh New York said to-day that the search light on the top of the Halsey street station enabled him to keep a close watch at night on the movements Of. the people in the vicinity and would ln his opinion save the lives of many in- nocent ones. There have been no wire cuttings or acts of violence in that To- cality since Arms was killed.
 Chief Kennedy, who was in charge at the Atlantic avenue office, to-day, said, "The strike is over, as far as +his road is concerned. We have all +he men we want to run our cars. In fact we have more applicants that we can find work for. Our Sunday sched- ,,le calls for 100 cars. These are now out. They run on nine lines-the At lantic and Fifth avenues, Fifth avenue and Adams, Seventh avenue, Ninth and Vanderbilt, Fifteenth street, Butler street, Bergen street, Hicks street and Sackett street. We have all the line men we need and no lines were reported cut during the night on our lines. The power -housemen are not going out and if they did there are plenty of others to 
 take their places"
 Master Workman Connolly was asked this evening as to the truth of the rumors that he was considering the ad- visibility of calling the strike off. MT. Connolly said:
 "There is absolutely no truth in the reports. Why should I call off the strike when we are gaining ground?
 "Despite the statements given out by the officers of the company that they have all the men they need there are not enough men working on all the lines put together to operate one line op the schedule in effect before the strike. If the strike was declared off to-day the companies would be crip- pled for weeks because one-half their rolling stock has been rendered unfit for service by the ineXperience of the men who have been attempting to run the carsl The officers of the com panies are still hiring men in all large cities. The men are hired, it is alleged, under false representation and most refuse to go to work on arriving here and we send them back or sup port them. We have sent back on an a yrr1,p
