Gus. The state board of arbitration
has practically abandoned it's efforts
to cOnciliate the strikers and their
former employers. The resentment of
the conductors and mOtormen who quit
work and the more turbulent spirit
of their sympathizers is held in check
to a degree by the presence of the po-
lice and the militia, members of which
ride in the cars or are held in readiness
at the barns and terminals.
Small riots occurred during the day,
but with one exception they were with
out serious results. In the death of
Henry COrnWeit, slain by bullet fired
by Ralph P. HaWley, a conductor on
the Broadway line, is recorded the first
fatality of the strike. Shortly after
noon HaWley's car approached Orange
street and was beset by a crowd of
men and boys. COrnWeit, the 19-year-
old son of a butcher, was astride a
horse and rode at the side of the car,
keeping pace with it for some distance
Various stories are told as to what
passed between the conductor and the
boy, but the mob was suddenly called
to it's senses by the sight of Hawley,
who jumped to the street and started
in pursuit of COrnweit
Fires !. Fatal Bullet.
The latter, closely followed by his
puTSuer, turned up Perry street. At
Woodland avenue the latter pulled his
revolver and fired. His victim fell,
fatally wounded with q CHASTITY wound
in the left temple, and died soon after
being removed to the hospital The
crowd which before the incident had
been SO violent was aWed by the seri-
BUSINESS of the affair and permitted the
conductor to walk back to his car He
was arrested and taken to the station,
where a charge of murder was entered
against him. When the car returned in
charge Of another man and laden with
police thousands of people were crowd
ed round the fatal spot. The track was
bIOckaded and the stalled cars were
bOmbarded with stones, pieces of brick,
and sticks of wood. The police man
aged by dint of using their clubs to
clear the way after a delay Of about
half an hour.
The police believe they have a cleW
to the man who placed nitro glycerine
which Sunday night blew up a Euclid
avenue car and injured four passen-
gers. Mathew Robson, who was seen
at 2 o'clock yesterday morning driving
a horse and buggy said to resemble the
one in which the mysterious wrecker
rode, has been placed in a cell. Robi-
son claims that he found the rig mas
terless and took possession, intending
to deliver it to Charles Steimetz, a
Iiveryman by whom Robson is en-
plOyed. Steimetz informed the officers
that he rented the outfit Sunday night
to a man whom he identified vaguely
as having a dark mustache.
