was held in it's armory all night. These
two regiments and Troop A are under

zens alternately petition the mayor for
cars and stone the cars when they ar
rive In various outlying places, as well
as on many built up streets, wire cutting
and stone throwing were INDUCED in,
| and number of arrests were made. The
| Greenpoint cars lost many panes OF

and all day the men of the various regi-
menss on. picket duty have suffered from
the effects OF this.
USED A SEARCH LIGHT.
Colonel Appleton. of the 10th regi-
ment, said today, that search light on
the top of Halsey street station enabled
him to keep close watch at night OH the
movements of people in the vicinity, and
would in his opinion save the lives OF
many innocent ones. No wire cutting
or acts of viol ence have occurred i'll the
locality since Arms was killed. The con-
sensus of opinion among the strikers is
that firm front and steadfast position
on their part will win the tignt. The
mem bers of local assembly 30S4, when
asked for an opinion of the situation,
said violence was deprecated. Thee
hoped to win by force of nnmb bers and
the inexperience of the new men. The
railroad companies claim the men are
beaten and that they can run their cars
to the full capacity with the men they
have.
General Appleton instructed Major
brams at Ridgewood and the officer in
command at Alabama avenue to keep
the men under command within the
stations, and to permit the new men to
work the cars without the aid of the
militia, and thus hasten the departure
of the soldier boys to their homes.
The saloons in the vicinity of the sta
bles were closed all day today under
strict orders from the police.
The persons arrested today for disord-
er in connection with the strike are
mostly from II to 10 years old. A mot
orman of the Nostrand avenue line was
assaulted early this morning by an un-
known man. William Wilcox, a con-
ductor on the Flatbush avenue line,
was arrested today for obstructing the
street by refusing to return car to the
depot. He attempted to desert the car.
This afternoon as Dr. Armguard and his
avenue in a buggy, the carriage was
struck by carr of the Bushwick avenue
line and upset. The doctor and his
driver were slightly injured.
The troops are fixling up quarters at
the various car houses for long stay.
