 Brooklyn, Jan. 23-Blood was shed in starting cars on the Hicks street line of the Atlantic avenue road. The 18th regiment saw service in the Buffalo riots, and it will stand no nonsense. The first car was started from the But Ter street stables at 2:26 p. m. There were policemen on the front and rear platforms. Colonel Austen deployed his men over several blocks In the neighborhoods where he anticipated trouble.
 The second battalion got a hot recep- ton in the region about Hicks and liar rison streets. Stones, bottles and other
 missiles were thrown at the soldiers from the windows. They were taunted and ridiculed by people who stood on the doorsteps, and in at least one in stance a revolver was pointed at them from window. The first car itself was not attacked so its occupants say.
 The militiamen themselves were the targets. Finally they ordered all win dows closed and the sidewalks and doorways cleared. The people in the windows did not obey. There was crack of a rifle and a piece of brown stone was chipped from a house front at the side of the window. The win dow was then closed. People across the way leaned out over the heads of the troops and threw things. Crack, crack, spoke the guns, and bullets whizzed past several heads. The police rushed into the house at 40 Hicks street and arrested Jacob Quinlan for throwing Jumps of coal at Private Cole At 439 Hicks street they arrested John Meade, who pointed a loaded revolver out of the window at Corporal Platt. At No. 444 Hicks street a man was seen on the roof. The order was given stand back there" Almost simultaneously several shots were fired and the man dropped. He was a roofer named Thomas Carney.
 A bullet entered his thigh, passed downward through the groin and ab- domen. He was removed to the Long Island College hospital There were in all about forty shots fired. Carney was the only man hit. The car proceeded without Interruption after that, win dows were kept closed and doorways deserted. Two cars passed through the streets and returned to the stables with out injury.
 The firing of the troops caused a reign of terror in the vicinity, which lasted until about 4 o'clock, when the troops marched down to the city hall and were transported to their armory.
 The residents of the street were very indignant over what they termed the unprovoked killing of an innocent man. Coroner Keene took the deposition of the wounded man. Carney said he had been working on the roof at 444 Hicks street all day. He did not throw any thing from the roof. He heard the order stand back there" and started to run back. The wound was pro- nounced mortal
 Officer Seward, who was on the rear platform, of the first car, said he saw the militia shoot at a man on the roof He saw no stones or missiles thrown at the car, and declared that the car was not struck nor molested. He did, | however, see people throw stones and other objects from the windows at the | troops.
 A stone was thrown from the elevated | structure on Broadway, near Aberdeen street, at o'clock tonight, which | struck car on it's way to East New | York and passed completely through | the bonnet of the car.
