suddenly melted, a large number run
ming around into Irving avenue, but
about 200 crowded into the hall.
Then at a signal, the line of men in
blue stretched across the street, advanc-
ed at double quick past the hall doors,
which were at once closed and locked
by the police, and the men were like
rats in a trap, secured until all the cars
were sent out and brought back to the
depot in a space Of little over two
hours. When the troops called "all
ready car 524 which had been brought
zip with men as stated, was started
down the line with the two motormen,
two conductors, two policemen and
three reporters on board.
THEY SHUT THE WINDOW.
Just as the start was made a member
of the Seventh regiment noticed several
persons at an open window on the sec
story of the hotel opposite the depot and
ordered il closed. The order was not in
stantly obeyed, so he fired a shot in the
air and the window was not only closed
but all the faces disappeared
During the passage of the car down
the avenue there was considerable
jeering but one shot from policeman's
revolver fired in the air closed up the
open windows and only one missile was
fred at the first car and none at the
others as they proceeded which at nrst
promised TO be a perilous journey. All
cars returned without damage, upon
schedule time.
The following order has been Issued

LINEMEN OUT AGAIN.
During this afternoon and evening the
occurred no less than seven collisions
of trolley cars with wagons, trucks OF
other vehicles
Master Workman Connolly returned
to the strikers headquarters after an
absence of half an hour and again an
nounced that the linemen should go
out again. He refused to explain any
thing about the order, but when asked
what would be done with line men who
refused TO go out, he replied that they
would simply be outside the pale OF nom
orable workmen.
This move was precipitaed by the al
legged action Of the militia, when at
q o'clock this afternoon a company OF the
Seventh regiment surrounded hall at
Myrtle and Palmetto streets, which was
entered by the soldiers, who seized all
books and papers of the local assembly
who occupied the place as meeting
room. The militia was finally with
drawn and the police took possession
of the hall. Both the militia and the
police deny this.
NO LACK OF SUBSISTENCE.
Matters in South Brooklyn were unu-
sually quiet all day. The Pequod club
rooms, corner of Third avenue and
Fifty-fifth street, which are the head
quarters of the strikers, was lively

men were there most of the time. Pro-
visions were sent in by grocers in the
vicinity. About 500 in money was re-
ceived by the strikers during the day.
An enthusiastic meeting of strikers
and their sympathiZers was held to
night at Labor Lyceum, In Willoughby
avenue The strikers with their fami-
lies and friends were out in full force
As each speaker came forward he was
received with wild applause j. De

child in Brooklyn was in sympathy
with the strikers. On motion of the

of aldermen condemning the trolley
counties.
