BROOKLYN STRIKE STILL ON.
Railroad Managers Claim it Will Soon
End in Strikers Defeat.

New York, July 1S.-The Brooklyn
trolley strike is still on, and in all likli-
hood there will be no end to the labor
trouble for several days to come. The
striking motormen and conductors are
very earnest, and they claim that they
are gaining ground. On the other hand,
the representatives of the Brooklyn
Traction Company assert that the strike
is only nominal one, and that from
tonight on, they will experience no
difficulty in running their full compile
ment of cars. The company did not
run any over its various lines after
dark last evening. but resumed traffic
shortly after ) O'Clock this morning
Numbers of cars were run over the sew
era lines, but the time schedule was not
lived up to on any one of them, and a
fair estimate of the rolling stock i'll oper-
alton would be about sixty per cent. No
cars were run over the Flat Bush Ave
nue. line to Brighton beach.
During the day, the police made sew
eral arrests of persons who interfered
with th,~progress of the cars on the
Nassau Lines. but no serious outbreak
occurred until after 6 o'clock. A small
riot occurred about d O'Clock in which
two men were painfully hurt a mob of
some 400 persons attacked Il Fifth Ave
nue. car on its way into the city at
Sixth street and Fifth avenue and Mo-
tormen A. Latham and Conductor w. +.
Mulcahey were pulled off the car and
badly treated. Latham had his orm
broken. and Mucahey received frac-
ture of the nose.
Master Workman Parsons and District
Master Pines were very confident that
the strikers would win the fight, but.
Judging from the number of ears III
operation today, the assertion OF the
railroad managers that the strike would
fZzle out seems to be well founded.

this morning the report was brought to

The city hall detective scratched his

"Well, there are a dozen or more of

Their work is simple. You see, q
great many piano firms sell instru-

the purchaser pays, say. $50 down on a
$500 or 5000 instrument and agrees to
make good the remainder at so much q

such purchasers are as honest as the
day is long, but once in while man
comes along whose little scheme is to
move out the piano day or two after
it is delivered and sell it for a couple

He hovers around the house in which
