 half an hour. All was quiet at Ridge
 wood and all cars stopped early in the
 evening.
 At D. m. the troops of the Seventh
 noticed that the people were moving
 about and lights burning brightly in
 the upper rooms of the residence on
 Halsey street, opposite the depot of the
 Putnam avenue and Halsey line.
 Here it was the firing occurred last
 night in which Arms lost his life. The
 troops ordered the shutters closed and
 the lights extinguished. A failure to
 observe tIhis order was to be followed
 by bullets. The order was obeyed
 Major Abrams, commanding Com
 panies B, D and G, New York
 Seventh, this morning closed all
 saloons near Ridgewood. He sta
 tioned pickets at the door of each with orders not to allow anyone to pass in
 or out. The major also closed Odd
 Fellows hall, locking up at least 300
 men, Finally a lawyer was sent for
 and he appeared before Judge Gaynor,
 asking for writ of habeas corpus
 compelling Brigadier General McLeer
 to produce the imprisoned strikers in
 court. The writ was granted and made
 made returnable at 2:30.
 MT Grant. who appeared for General McLeer, announced that he was not | readyt go ahead. MT Strauss, who
 appeared for the strikers, told his side
 of the story.
 Judge Gaynor said; T cannot be- lieve that the state has been guilty of
 such an act Of lawlessness. If l did believe it I would not grant an ad- | journment for one minute. l will give you till 4o'clock to answer the charge
 on the other side"
 When General McLeer was served with the writ he sent word to Colonel Appleton to release the men who were penned In the hall and when the law yers entered court to argue the matter
 the men were at liberty and were not produced in court
 Paul G. Defere, who appeared for the judge advocate of the National Guard, stated that there were other exits to the hall than the one blocked by the militia and, therefore, the strik- CTS were not prisoners at any time. He said that troops closed the main entrance to the hall to prevent the men from rushing out and throwing bricks and other missiles and then re- treat to their rooms to escape the nili- tia. The writ was dismissed.
 Two men were arrested while placing Instructions on the tracks at the corner of Tompkins avenue and Fulton street this morning. A collision occurred this afternoon at Penn street between car of the Reid avenue line and a car of the Sumner avenue line. A policeman standing on the Sumner avenue car was severely bruised. On the Bergen street line everything wa quiet during the day and the company was operating about half of the usual number of the cars. This afternoon while Third avenue car was passing througfh Butler street someI person threw a brick from tenement and broke a car window.
 George Kanige was arrested for try ing to pull motorman off the Fulton | street car at Alabama avenue this af- ternoon. Considerable excitement was occasioned at 5:30 on Ralph avenue near Sumpter street. by a gang of | strikers blockading the tracks. They | piled stones and rubbish of all descrip- | tions on the tracks and caused a tenn porary suspension of traffic. The | police were summoned, but their ef- | forts to drive off the strikers were i futile. The troops were then called on | and Companies H and I of the Seventy first regiment responded. On their ap- pearance the strikers fell back The soldiers then formed lines extending two or three blocks down Sumpter street on both sides of the car tracks The Instructions were quickly removed and traffic was again opened.
