The action taken by these men is
thought to indicate that the backbone
of the strike has been broken, and that
the ranks of the seceders win multiply
rapidly until the old men are all back
in their former places.
over ON the Charlestown division the
strikers declare that if men are brought
from New York or Brooklyn to take
their places there will surely be trouble,
as they will not allow themselves to be
supplanted by non-union men from
those cities at least. 1t was stated in
the meeting of the Cambridge division
council tonight that their COMMITTEES
had received assurances from Mayor
Quincy of Boston that he would do all
in his power to prevent the West End
company from employing green or un-
skilled men to run their electric cars.
Tonight more cars We're running in
Cambridge than during all the after
noon. and nearly all We're from the
North avenue and Murray street (Har-
ward square, stables. When the one
hundred men reported back for work
tonight and were assigned to cars they
We're compelled to sign the employees
book, as if they were new men, and
had just entered the employ of the
company ... ..
Not many cars were needed tonight,
but Superintendent Dee said that the
full number of cars would go out from
the stable in the morning. The super
intendent of the Brighton line also says
that his cars will all be running to-
morrow. A few cars are running from
North Cambridge and Arlington.
Some of the men at the other stables
are very bitter against those at North
Cambridge. They claim that While cars
We're tied up all over the city the men
at North Cambridge continued to run.
The following notice was issued late
tonight by the West End company;
"Au car service men who have re-
ported and faithfully performed the
work assigned to them, on December "A,
1896. will have preference in rating over
other employees Men who have refrain
ed from work may, on December %,
1896. make application to their division
superintendent, and, if employed, will
be rated in accordance with the time
of such application, not, however, hav-
ing preference over new men nlreu De-
fore said application. After IL o'clock
midnight, December 25, 1896, no appli-
cations for return to work will be re-
ceived, unless made to the employment
agent at No. 50 Water street, Boston.
(Signed) SAMUEL LITTLE
President"
Late tonight everything was quiet
throughout the various divisions, and
bade fair to remain so till morning,
when it is believed there will be q
scramble to get in under cover Of Pres
ident Little's latest order. There is a
general feeling that the strike has been
badly managed 1t would not be sur
prising. from the present outlook, to see
the strike end, if not tomorrow, at
least by Saturday night.

THAIN noDBnns, sM4hh Boorr.
Did Not Get Into the Big Safe on the Train
Held Up at Indenendence. Mo.

Held Up at Independence, Mo.
St Louis, Dec. 24-The train which
was held up near Independence, Mo,
last night arrived here this afternoon.
Express Messenger Frier when inter-
viewed said that the big safe, which
was consigned through from the Pa
cific coast to Chicago, was not robbed.
The robbers demanded that Frier
operate the time lock on the big safe.
but were persuaded by him that that
was impossible, at which they began
to drill a hole and prepare a dynamite
stick F'rier argued with them that
their efforts would be futile, as the safe
contained nothing of value, and finally
he persuaded them to let it alone.
After the men had cleared out the
small safe they searched Frier's cloth
ing and took all the money on his per-
son except a 81 bill.
From the familiar manner in which
the express car was uncoupled and the
locomotive handled, the express Off
cials believe that the robbers were
former railway employees.
Superintendent Williamson of the
United States Express company de-
clares that the amount of money Sc
cured by the robbers will not reach
So 900.

Adams Company His Victims-His Home
is in westville.
Thomas T. Sinclair, who is confined
in the Jail on fraud writs, gave notice
yesterday, through his counsel, Frank
S. Bishop, that on Monday, December
2S, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, he
would apply to Justice Jacobs to have
the poor debtors oath administered to
him. The hearing will be held at the
jail Sinclair has been wanted for
more than a year to give an explana-
tion as to why he had not paid for
goods obtained from two prominent
firms in this city. In 1894 Sinclair
bought a watch of Charles E. Katsch,
the jeweler, on approval He failed to
make return of the watch or to ar
range for paying the amount of money
the jeweler wished to secure for the
timepiece. Katsch secured the arrest
of Sinclair on a fraud writ. The offi-
Ger brought the young man to Katsch's
place and he promised to pay the jew
eler 81, the condition upon which Mr..
back.
In the meantime Sinclair managed
to elude the officers and make his es-
cape. Sinclair stayed out of the city
and the state during the remainder of
1894. Early in 1895 Sinclair returned to
New Haven and secured employment
with the New Haven Street Railway
company. Sinclair went to the Jones,
Adams company, clothiers, on Chapel
street, and purchased an ulster offer
ing in payment an order on the COM
pany. Sinclair offered to go himself
and secure the acceptance of the Street
Railway company to the order. In a
short time he returned to the clothing
store with the papers signed by the
proper officers of the company. When
the clothing firm, which took the al
legged acceptance to be genuine, pre-
sented the claim to the railway people
they refused payment of the money
on the ground that the acceptance was
not genuine. A fraud writ was issued
and placed in the hands of Sheriff
Dejon, who traced the young man to
several cities, but could not get near
enough to make an arrest. He was
heard Of in Hartford, Bridgeport, An
sonia and New London.
When the difficulty between the
Greist company and the employees oc-
Cured about two weeks ago Sinclair
returned to Westville and went to work
with the bicycle company.
Detective Gibson of the Dixwell ave-
nue. precinct saw Sinclair and notified
Sheriff Dejon, who arrested him a day
or two ago.
Sinclair's home Is in Westville.

there was felt to be some foundation
for hope that the patient might rally.
