the Thirteenth Regiment, died early
Thursday morning. Eyewitnesses
of the shooting aver that it was
utterly uuprovoked. Up to the
time II took place the resistance
offered to the soldiers consisted in
the throwing of one bottle. This
was the second man killed by the
soldiers since the strike began in
Brooklyn.
More trouble occurred yesterday
in the attempt to run cars. A man
was shot through the hand by a
policeman. While a woman was
washing the front windows OF her
fat, the soldiers told her to go in
side. She did not understand the
order and failed to obey it, when
shot was fred in her direction which
broke an adjoining window, aud the
woman leaped into the room and
closed the windcw.
There was a riot at Twenty-ffth
street and Third avenue. A crowd
collected and jeered the soldiers
who were there under arms. The
mob continued increasing until noon,
when stone was hurled by one OF
the crowd, striking a policeman.
This was followed by several others
and then the police and militia
charged. The mob rushed along the
avenue and into the side streets
Many OF them received bayonet
thrusts from the militiamen, while
the clubs Of the police were used
with telling effect on the heads Of
the rioters.
The police arrested John Tigh,
Charles Burke and Stephen Cannon.
When conveying them to the station
the crowd attacked the officers and
tried to rescue the prisoners. After
desperate conflict, during which
more stones were thrown aud blows
struck on both sides, the three stone
throwers we're locked up.
The most serious attempt to pre-
vent the running of cars over the
Third-avenue line was made at Sixty
fifth street and Third-avenue, where
a plot to burn out the dynamos in
the depot was nearly successful. 1t
was evidently the work of skilled
electricians. The wires were cut and
guy ropes were attached to them, by
which they were drawn down and
grounded on the posts OF the ele-
waited road. The scheme, however,
was discovered in time to Illustrate
the plan.
In spite of all the disadvantages
three more lines were opened, and
there was a slight increase in the
number OF cars run. But the SER
vice on all the opened lines is ex-
tremely irregular and only few
passengers were carried. After 3
o'clock p. m. the Fifth-avenue line
alone had cars in motion. The last
car was at 1890 o'clock.
The strike is still on, and the two
most easily calculated items Of ex-
pense have reached these figures:
For militia, SIS, 600; for losses to the
companies in passenger traffic, $780,
600. The trolley companies will sue
the city for this loss.
A feature worthy OF note is the
continued and most generous inflow
OF money and provisions to the strik-
ers, the willingness OF the butcher
and grocer to trust them and the
forbearance OF the landlord.
Several accidents have happened
through the employment of inefli-
cient motormen.
Eugene V. Debs, who led the great
railroad strike at Chicago year ago,
and whose trial for conspiracy in
that affair has been begun there, was
questioned by correspondent con
corning the Brooklyn strike. Debs
declared he had received a number
of letters OF individuals in that city
asking his immediate presence.
81 cautioned them before the strike
began not to commence it." said Mr.
Debs. 81 believe the men are right
in everything for which they ask, but
il l, in the dark, ran up against fixed
bayonets ! will not knowingly do SC
again. knew that bayonets would
be used at Brooklyn, and that just
so soon as any damage was done the
people would rise up and exclaim
We've got to stop this thing These
are the reasons why | advised the
people down there not to strike"
