land and Some of the Pas
senHers Are Hurt.

Early in the morning a call was issued
for Battery A of the First Ohio artillery,
three companies of the Tenth Ohio in
fantry and LOuverture rifles.
The call came from headquarters In
the city hall, and In very short time the
members of the various organizations
were Fastening toward the armories.
With the addition of the organizations
called out, the military force to cope with
the street car strike now numbers SUI
men. That number represents the city's
military force. Next will come the call
for state troops.
1t was the opinion around military
Headquarters in the city hall that the in
creased force will be able to cope with
the strike successfully.
| The riots and murderous attacks of
the day before convinced the mayor it
was time to call out all the available
| troops. Early in the morning he was at
his office in consultation with Captain
| Zimmerman. The conference was brief,
| and as result the call for the additional
troops was Immediately made. Nearly
900 additional men were called out.
The riots and mob violence will be sup
pressed at any cost The mayor hopes
with the increased force to suppress any
uprising. If 800 troops are not suft1-
cient to this end, the governor will be
asked for more troops without delay.
Another Dynamite Outrage.
A suburban car was blown up between
Wickliffe and Willoughby, about 10 miles
east of Cleveland. The car was No. "a,
on the gainesville line, and was west
bound. 1t was we'll filled with passen-
gers, the majority of whom were people
from the city who had been spending the
day with friends in the suburban towns.
A large part Of the passengers were
women.
The explosion was accompanied by
deafening report. The front end Of the
heavy motor was raised several inches
from the track and an instant later fell
with heavy thud. The headlight was
blown completely off the car One Of the
axles was badly bent and several win
dows were broken by the explosion. The
passengers were badly shaken up by the
explosion and made rush for the doors.
Among the passengers Were Mrs. X. A.
Herbert of Al Hayward street. this city,
md her 9-year-old daughter Dorothy
| The latter had one Of her hands quite
badly cut by flying glass. A young wom-
nm whose name could not be ascertained
and who was carrying an infant in her
arms was injured in similar manner.
After the car had been examined by
the crowd 1t was found that its injuries
were not sufficient to prevent Its being
run at a very slow speed, and 1t was
brought through to East Cleveland.
Euclid Avenue Outrage.
The police have not detected the men
who placed nitrogly on the Euclid
avenue track and caused an explosion re-
sulting in serious injury to ten persons.
When the explosion occurred, the car
was running at the rate of about ten
miles an hour. William E. Dreggers,
who came to Cleveland on the first day
OF the first strike, was operating the car.
He was blown from the vestibule to the
pavement and badly injured, but was
able to get on the car again and shut off
the current There was panic among
the passengers when the explosion occur

a moment did not know what had occur

One woman jumped from the car, ex-
claiming that she was dying. Others
scrambled off; they could not afterward
remember how. The car was not blown
Oft the track by the explosion, Dut was
completely wrecked. The floor was
blown out and there was not piece Of
glass more than an inch across left in
the car.
The explosive substance used was nitro
glycerin beyond any question. Members
of the household of Samuel Fl. Kimball
at 1864 Euclid avenue, in front of which
the explosion occurred, saw man ulight
from a buggy few minutes before and
place something on the track The
wagon contained two men, one of whom
held the horse while the other alighted.
The turnout was seen by Miss Kate
Klmball and her cousin, Kimball Sher-
idan. boy about II years old, who were
attracted by the fast driving and the
sudden manner in which the horse was
stopped. Hardly waiting for the animal
to come to standstill one of the men
jumped from the buggy and walked back
on the track about Is feet. He was not
out Of the buggy more than Il minute
when he quickly jumped back, and then
they drove away as rapidly as they had
come.
