Cleveland, o., July 24.-The scenes
Of wild disorder and violence wit
messed in this city yesterday, in con-
nection with the street railway strike,
were succeeded this morning by marked
quietness. Cars were running on at
least dozen lines of the Big Con-
solidated system. They, however, car
ried but few passengers. BUS lines
were in operation over many Of the
Big Consolidated lines, and these were
well patronized.
The city authorities were In confer
ence at the City Hall nearly all night,
and, as result, call has been sent
out for additional troops. All the
available military force in Cleveland is
under arms. Early this morning, a
call was issued for Battery A of the
First Ohio Artillery, three companies
OF the Tenth Ohio Infantry and Lover
ture Rifles. The call came about s
O'Clock, and in very short time men,
bers OF the various organizations were
fastening toward the armories With
the addition of the organizations called
out today, the military force to cope
with the strike numbers 800 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,
this morning, that the increased force
will be able to cope with the strike
successfully. The riots and murderous
attacks yesterday convinced the mayor
it was time to call out all the available
troops. Early this morning, he was at
his Office, in consultation with CAPT.
Zimmerman. The conference was brief,
and, as result, the call for the addi-
tional troops was immediately made.
Nearly 500 additional men were called
out. The riots and mob violence will
be suppressed at any cost. The mayor
hopes, with tho increased force, to sup
press any uprising. If 800 troops are
not sufficient to this end, the governor
will be asked for more troops without
delay.
About 8 O'Clock last evening, a
suburban car was blown uI between
Wicklitfe and Willoughby, about 10
miles east of Cleveland. Strange to
say, the Outrage was not reported to
the Cleveland police until this morn
ing. The car was No. "a of the Paines-
Vile line, and was westbound. 1t was
well filled with passengers, the ma
jority of whom we're 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 head light was blown
completely of the car. One of the
axles was badly bent, and several
windows were broken by the explosion.
The passengers were badly shaken up,
and made rush for the doors. Among
the passengers was Mira R. A. Herbert
and her 9-years-old daughter Dorothy.
The latter had one of her hands badly
cut by flying glass, A young woman,
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 crew, 1t as found that its injuries
were not sufficient to prevent its
being run at very slow speed, and it
was brought through to East Cleve-
land.
Cleveland, o., July 25.-After a
night marked by disorder and rioting,
the city, this morning, again presented
peaceful aspect On all the lines Of
the Big Consolidated, cars were starred
out on schedule time. Beyond the usual
distractions of stones, bricks and all
kinds of rubbish, placed on the tracks
in the outlying districts during the
latter part Of the night, there was no
interruption to traffic during the early
hours of the day.
Ralph p. Hawley, the non union
motorman who shot and killed Henry
Cornzweit yesterday, was arraigned in
the police court today, on the charge
of second degree murder. Attorney
Tolles, on behalf of Hawley, requested
a preliminary hearing before Police
Judge Fielder on Tuesday next. Haw-
ley was remanded to Jail without bail.
