sible, and he thereupon agreed with the
workmen to pay them in full for the eight
hours pc day, and also to pay at an agreed
rate for extra time.
II Is stated that this arrangement was mu-
tually satisfactory. When the eight hours
expired each day the brickiayers would

They would start in on the second period

extent OF an hour or more per day, for

struting Pricked ithBayonets.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. S.-A riot was mar.
rowly averted ut the corner OF ST. Clair
and Lewis streets last evening. That it
was averted was due 10 the coelness and
ciearhsadedness OF q number Of business
men oil that LEGALITY, together with the
prompt appearance ef Company F., Fifth
Regiment, o. N. e., commanded by Capt.
Zimmerman.
When the militia pickets were thrown
out around the Brown Hoisting Ccnpuny's
works ut 8 O'Clock, two men were sta
tioned'at this corner, members OF Company
l, Fifth Regiment. A dozen children, boys
and girls. were marching up and down the
streets, ph ying soldier. None OF them was
over twelve years old. But this Juvenile
fun seemed to exasperate the boys who car
ried the real guns. Without any waraing
they charged bayonets ON the idefenseless
children, who scattered in all directions.
Hundreds of people were passing, re-
turning from work, and several cxpostu-
lated with the soldiers. The pickets then
ordered everyone off the street. Edward
Nicholas, who lives at II Beokct place,
came down Lewis street with his wife.
He was ordered off the street, and us he
did not move quick enough he was jabbed
with the bayonet.
His wife demonstrated and was threaten
ed with the steel and was compelled to
flee. Several other persons were prodded
into alacrity of movement, but the crowd

to take to the side streets.
The arrival of Company and the action
Of the business men in withdrawing in
doors qnieted affairs greatly, and in a
short time the trouble had disappeared,
though thus petty action OF the militia has
caused intense bite rness against them ON
the pat pf those who have heretofore been
indifferent.
The militia stationed at the Brown
Hoist Works charged upon a crowd Of
citizens who were peaceabiy gathered in
front OF one OF them last night, and two
men were ba ayoneted. Their wounds were
not seriors. Fifteen men were arrested
by the soldiers, charged with disorderly
CONDUCT.
Il petition was started last evening
among the business men In the vicinity
of the works appealing to the mayor for
police protection against the militia. They
claim that their customers cannot walk the
streets peaceably without danger from the
bayonets of the soldiers. Sentiment is rap
idly crystaliizing against the continuance
OF the soltiier guard whose indscretions
are daily causing trouble.
The decision in the Injunction case
against the mayor TO restrain him from
calling out any more military TO nrotect
