SONG FOR THE GUITAR.

! grieve to see these tears
Long strangers to thine eye
These jewels that fond years
For me could never buy.
Weep, weep and give thy heart relief.
I grieve, but it's not for thy grief.
Not for these tears-they were
Another's ere they fell
But those that never stir
The fountain where they dwell.
I'd smile though thou shouldst weep s

We're but a single tear for me!

STRIKERS GAIN A POINT.
Brooklyn Aldermen Vote to Revoke ths
Trolley Companies Franchises.

Trolley Companies Franchises.
BROOKLYN, Feb 5--The trolley strikers
are in a jubilant frame of mind today.
Their mass meeting yesterday at the city
hall while not sensational, was produc-
hive Of good results
The strikers have gained a big point in
their fight against the railroad companies,
The po Mt is big one so far as sentiment
is concerned, but even some Of the alder
men, through whose votes the strikers
gained Their point, are doubtful whether
the Judgment rendered will have as i'm
portant a bearing on the results as at pres
ent looked for In O word, the board Of
aldermen decided by vote of 10 to to
revoke the franchises and to withdraw the
privileges granted to the Brooklyn trolley
lines.
Master Workman Connelly's predictions
rs to the number Of citizens who would
participate in the movement at the city
hall were not exactly fulfilled The crowd
was big. but not nearly so big as had been
promised
Notwithstanding his assertions that the
presence OF the strikers was not required,
the latter to considerable mum ber wend-
cd their way to the place Of the meeting
and put themselves very much in evidence.
Meantime the prominent members of the
| police department were on the qui viye so
as TO prevent any outbreak of enthusiasts
IN the neighborhood Of the city hall The
/ police authorities had quietly secreted
about 90 members Of the mounted squad
| In the rear of police headquarters and had
| also accumulated force of 800 men COM
/ posed Of reserves and specials in tho inn
| mediate vicinity.
At the hour set for the meeting there
| were scarcely 1000 persons congregated in
/ the vicinity of the city hall. A few min
| utes later Master Workman Connolly and
| 4. j. Collins appeared at the head Of fully
| /, 600 men, who had marched from the
| strikers headquarters They crossed the
limo Of police reserves and special officers
who were stationed at WillouRhby and
Fulton streets
A mighty cheer went mp in recognition
Of the strikers cause The sidewalks in
the noighborhood Of the city hall, which
had up to this time been sparsely crowded
became absolutely impassable The crowds
of men who assembled in answer to this
welcoming cheer seemed 60 spring from
the ground, and the streets were almost
instantly filed with men who seemed *
be in entire sympathy with the strikers
The men who composed the crowd dis
persed at the request Of the police, WHIT
guarded the immediate precincts In thi
neighborhood of tho city hall.
For fully two hours after, however, tn
men remained In the adjacent streets, bu
exhibited no signs Of violence. Everything
passed of very quietly, and the assembled
multitude wended their way homewari
