was supposed that the strikers had suddenly
grown bold. and had come in from the suburbs
10 the heart of the borough.
The cause OF the difficulty was two zinc leader
pipes which were being carried by man named
Johnson on the rear Of car No. 2.221 Of the
Third-ave line. These pipes accidentally reached
the overhead wire which is there at its lowest
point. An explosion followed the contact with
the result that men and women were thrown
out Of the car in a heap. Mrs. O'Hara, Of Bat
terry Place. Fort Hamilton. was the only one
injured, her knees being hurt badly. She was
on her way home. where her child lay dead
after making purchases for the funeral. She
was carried into the store. where she had
severe attack Of Mysteries. and when she re-
covered Hugh Boyd. one Of the firm. sent her
home in a carriage Mrs Eva Mcveigh Of

baby in her arms. also thrown from the
car. but both escaped injury. The roof and
floor OF the car were badly burned.

learned yesterday for the first time that since
the strike the police wires have been tampered
with in an effort TO cripple the service On
tuesday some one severed the line running to
'he East New-York station house. Quick meas

night to say what had been the result OF the

Police Headquarters returned more nearly to
its normal appearance yesterday than at any
time since the strike began. In the courtyard
there were half dozen patrol wagons. and the
hcfses for a squad OF mounted men were teth-
cred there, but the corridors OF the building
were free from the platoons of police which on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday attracted crowds
of spectators on the sidewalks outside.

til noon. when he relieved by Deputy Chief
Patrick H. Mclaughlin. At midnight Deputy
Chief Mackellar went Oh duty again.
There was story at Headquarters last night
that the police had learned of a large amount
OF wrecking material being stored at Of the
headquarters Of the strikers. 1t was said that
ropes. crowbars other heavy tools and guam

refused absolutely to discuss the matter. There
a number OF practical electricians among the
strikers and the railroad company would not
have been surprised at any time to have found
that some Of their lines had been grounded or
short circuited.

THEY sOAPED THE TRACK.
SMALL BOYS HAD FUN WITH TROLLEY
CARS ON THE ATLANTIC-AVE. HILL

SMALL BOYS HAD FUN WITH TROLLEY
CARS ON THE ATLANTIC-AvE. HILL
There was considerable excitement in Allan
tic-sve Just below Henry-st., yesterday after
noon. when a number of the youngsters who
have their habitat in that region amused them-
selves by soaping the up track Of the trolley
cars. The cars run here on the crosstown line
Of the Brooklyn Heights and on the Bergen-st.
and Fifth-ave lines of the Nassau line from
South Ferry. There Is heavy grade from the
ferry up to Henry-st. and 1t is steepest between
Hicks-st and Henryst. Atlantic-ave at this
point is full Of children who come up from the
river front to play. The police do not pay much
attention to the lads. who do about as they
please.
Yesterday afternoon a crowd OF the boys de-
cided that the strikers were not doing all the
stunts" that should be done In well regu-
lated strike. and determined 10 take hand at
it themselves. So the party Of self appointed
strikers procured quantity Of soft soap. They
carried il into the street and applied liberal
dose Of It to the up track One rail- was soaped
for distance of about thirty feet. The other
rail had received its coat OF fabrication for ten
feet when a car came in sight and the boys
scattered to the sidewalk TO see the fun.
1t was a Fifth-ave. car and was in charge Of
a new motorman. suddenly, When ABOUT nlu-
way between Henry and Hicks SITS. the wheels
Of the car began spinning around and the car
stopped moving. The motorman shut OFF the
current and the car started back He applied
the brakes and still the car slipped. Another
trial was made to advance. but the car would
not bulge. Then the boys began TO flock about
and pulled the pole from the wire.
BY this time several other cars had come up
behind and each in turn was stalled. The boys
pounced upon each in turn and proceeded
to play horse with the motormen and con-
ductors The pedestrians on the sidewalk saw
the performance and seemed 10 enjoy the fun.
The boys were all such little fellows that even
the passengers smiled indulgently Police
men were not far away, but did not hurry
TO the scene as they knew the boys, and were
aware that they could not do any violence.
large crowd had collected before the men IN
charge OF the cars procured some sand and
poured II on the rails so that the cars could get
UP the hill.
Later one OF the policemen from the Amity-st
station arrested John Courtney eight years old.
Of No 9f Pacfc-st. At the station the sergeant
himself smiled when he heard the story and saw
the diminutive proportions Of the prisoner After
a severe lecture. and promise on the part or
his mother that she would give her son good
spanking the sergeant dismissed the lad.

1t will be seen by this comparison that there
was an increase Of twenty-five cars in the hour.

licemen. and those Of the Third-ave. line by
one All other cars were unguarded. On almost
