There was more excitement in the To-
cality Of the Third Avenue railroad depot
than there has been since the strike COM
monced. An attempt was made to run
cars over the line, and the announcement
that the road was to be operated reused
the strikers and their friends from the
state Of quiescence In which they havo for
the past ten days basked The barns at
Third avenue and Fifty-eighth street pre-
sented busy scene when a Court street
and Halsey street car reached the depot
filed with 90 nonunion men, who were at
once lodged in the depot
Every corner on the east side Of the ave-
nue was throngod by the strikers and their
sympathizers. 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 ieering the militia, but commit
ted no act which warranted their disper-
sion.
Some hours previous to the running Of
the first car the repair wagon Of fhe Brook
lyn Heights company went down Third
avenue to clear the track between Fifty
first and Fifty-second streets
Tho block between these two streets was
piled with bricks. stones, lumber and
trunks OF trees which had been cut in the
vicinity so as to render the running Of
cars an impossibility. The repair wagon
was manned by II mon and escorted by
Troop A.
When they reached the Pequod club. the
strikers headquarters at Fifty-ffth street.
some 300 men who had assembled there
ieered and denounced the escort and hurl-
ed several volleys Of stones at the men
who were removing the obstacles
Lieutenant Bagloy, who was in charge
Of the troop. called on them to disperse
The strikers replied by another ava
lanohe of stones Lieutenant Bagley then
ordered his men TO charge and strike the
rioters with the fat of their sabers. On
this being DONE the strikers ran away.
When the railroad employees finished their
work, tho strikers reassembled and follow
ed up the escort and renewed the stone
throwing when the cavalry again charged
them with naked blades. Some Of the
strikers received sword thrusts, but man
aged to escane. No further disturbance
occurred during the day.
Soon after the nonunion men reached
the depot 12 mounted police Of the second
squad rode up and formed in line outside
the barn. Every available man in the
Twenty-third regiment was under arms,
and from Fifty ninth street to Seventeenth
street the sidewalks were fringod with mi
litiamen.
Finally a car was run out. No violence
was done, and its course was unhindered.
Twelve more cars were run during the dag
on this line.
