cess Tho president Of the Topographic

De given 10 continue the fight on legitimate
lines
The lines which have been in operation
for several ddys-the Seventh avenue. the
Ninth-aVenue and the F1fteenth-street
lines. were tied up to-day. This was the
result OF the linemens strike. which was
ordered last night The wires on these
lines were found TO be cut this morning.
The cutting was done In a thoroughly sci
cutihc manner, ana indicated n greater
knowledge Of electrical affairs than IS
possessed by the initiated.
Several attempts were made at the car
houses to start cars. but the cars did not
get more than two or three blocks away.
None of the lines attempted 10 run cars
late at night. The Hcks-street line shut
down at T.. NJ, and the Thirteenth Regi-
mcnt returned 10 their armory for the
night. The crOss-town line stopped be
fore dark. The cars on Broadway Gates
avenue. Myrtle avenue and Flushing ave-
nue. stopped about O'Clock The last
lines operated were the Court-street. the
Fulton-aycnue. and the Hlatbush lines.
They stopped at Q O'Clock.
The COM panies, apparently did not care
10 invite trouble by operating at night.
The militia and the police advised against
operation after dark. President Lewis,
when asked II cars would be run late, re-
piled that he saw no reason why ne
should run cars as the public are afraid
TO ride in them after dark. The stoppage
of cars resulted i'm a cessation of the pet
ty disturbances which prevailed through
out the day.
