Quiet, Then Disorder.

Though it was the Sabbath the
strike sympathizers could not restrain
their tendencies to demonstrate their
sympathy in an active way, and as
consequence a number of exciting in
cidents are to be recorded. The un-
warranted denials by the afternoon
papers of The Tribune's story of the
negotiations for settlement We're re-
sponsibe in no small measure for this.
The company took out a dozen cars
and had as many as eight men on
some of them, but the assaults We're
50 numerous and vicious that it was
deemed advisable to take the cars in
at noon. Every car had some of its
windows smashed. No attempt was
made to take the cars out again.
A Green Ridge suburban car. with
eight imported men aboard, was held
up on North Adams avenue, near the
Consumers Ice company plant, during
the morning, by Il crowd numbering
several hundred. The crew became
frightened when the crowd commenced
to close in on them, and when the
crowd saw they We're thoroughly
cowed, some of the leaders jumped
aboard, pulled the crew from the plat
forms and ordered them to decamp

Imports and Exports.

Twenty-three Of the twenty-five
men brought on-by the company from
Philadelphia and who laid over in
Wilies-Rarre during the night, ar
rived here Saturday morning at 6
O'Clock. in charge of Special Agent
Sweeney. Nine of them deserted i'm
mediately upon their arrival and ac-
Companied the strikers to their head
quarters. They told that they had
been engaged as special officers TO
protect street car property, and wera
to receive S. per day. board and trav-
cling expenses. The treatment they
received at the hands of the Wilkes
Rarreans caused two of them to desert
on the spot. The nine who deserted here
would have turned back from Wilkes
Barre, they said, but they had no
money and the company officials re-
fused to send them home.
They We're sent back by the strik-
ers Saturday night. Six others, four
from Cleveland and two from New
York. were sent back yesterday morn

To Appoint Specials.

In 1865 an act was passed by the
legislature empowering the governor
to appoint special officers to protect
railroad company property. the APP
pointments to lie made on petition OF
the railroad company and tha COM
pany to hire and pay the officers.
ClaiminG that it was unable to Sc
cure police protection here the s;cran-
ton Railway company on saturday
despatched representatives to IIar-
risburg and made application for
commissions for special police. The
act has never been brought to apply
to street railways and the authorities
at Harrisburg We're somewhat diff
dent about issuing them, but when
the trolley company's representatives
came forward with decision secured
from the Dauphin county court that IA
trolley road came within the meaning
of the act, the governor agreed to is
sue the commissions.
If the strike was not settled. Presl-
dent Clark said yesterday afternoon,
and the interference with the running
of the cars did not cease, the company
would proceed to engage enough
specials to assure fun protection 10
IT'S property.
I'VE could secure a thousand men
under this act, If we wanted them"
President Clark went on to say. "They
would not be under the direction OF
the sheriff, the mayor or any other
public official, The company would
have full direction of them ana would
be sworn to do the company's bidding.
They can be recruited from any
where in the state and the commis-
sion gives them the same powers as
those of a city police officer. The act
presclibes that their powers shall be
the same as those of n police officer
of the city of Philadelphia.
Il hope we viii not have occasion
to bring special officers here, hut We
are determined that our property
shall be protected. We applied 10 the
mayor to give us protection, but he
has failed 10 do so. We wanted him
To swear in specials, but this he re-
fused to do. We went to the sheriff
and asked him TO appoint deputies 10
guard our property. He promised to
do so, hut didn't. His excuse was that
he could not secure any. His deputy,
a Mr. Ferber, was sent out, | under-
stand to secure deputies and re-
turned with the statement that he
could not secure even one man to take
the iob. That was probably true, but
we offered to furnish men secured

TROLLEY STRIKE IS OVER

The Imports" beat hasty retrea t
through the fields in the direction of
Dunmore. followed by couple of hun
dred boys, who pelted them with stones.
What became Of the fugitives could
not be learned
A car on the Laurel Hill line was
held Tip, near the Dunmore Lumber
company's office, and the crew assault
ed. The crowd agreed to let the crew
off II they would desert the company,
and upon their promise to do so they
were released. The wreck car brought
In the two deserted cars.
On Capouse avenue, between Gibson
and Pine streets, bricks had been piled
up along the curb, preparatory to paw
ing between the street car rails. Yes
terday morning boys carried these to
the tracks and piled them on the rails.
On Washington avenue. near Phelps
street, there was pile of obstructons
made up of all sorts of rubbish.
Swetland street was made almost i'm
passible by the distractions piled UP to
block the car tracks. Old wagons. a
bob-seigh and an old bellows filled
with rocks are some of the obstr,lc-
tions brought into use here.
On North Main avenue, near Price
street, n mound was built up of a bob
sleigh freighted with barrels, pieces Of
timber and large amount of rubbish
In front OF Becker Bros factory, OH
Robinson street, another mound wAs
built of varied mass of material and
atop 1t was displayed a placard read
ing: "Union job. Eight Hours"
Barrels filled with stones We're placed
on the tracks on Prescott avenue. At
the corner of Penn avenue and Linden
street rubbish was piled on the track
and the latch pried from. the switch
with crowbar.
In Minooka the rails We're torn uu
in several places and immense rocks
placed on the tracks.
The Tribune's exclusive announce
ment of the negotiations for settling
the strike resulted in a comparatively
quiet Saturday. The strikers, sympa-
thizers thought that further demon-
strations of sympathy by means of
violence We're not called for and con-
tented themselves with hooting and
jeering the imported men who ran half
u dozen cars about the central city for
few hours of the day. Some cars
were stoned While passing through the
suburbs, but there was no throwing of
missiles on Lackawanna avenue as
was the case on the previous day.
Mayor Mor had given orders to the
police to rigidly enforce the law, but
they found that the order had been
made quite unnecessary by The Trib-
une's appearance with the exclusive
story of the negotiations for strike
settlement. A teamster, William A.
Young. who evidently had not heard
that the war was over, persisted in
blocking a car on Franklin avenue and
was taken into custody by Patrolman
Neuls. He was discharged with rep
rinand.

OIL HOUSE ABLAZE.
Supply Shanty in Lackawanna Yard
Destroyed

A fierce blaze was discovered in the
oil supply shanty in the Lackawanna
yard at 10 o'clock last night, which
threatened to destroy the old Everhart
brass foundry and other surrounding
buildings in the vicinity of Cliff street,
Bridge street and the stone bridge
The fire was of unknown origin. but
is supposed to have been caused by IA
naked lamp being left in the shanty
by one of the yardmen. The flames
were fortunately confined to the in
terror of the shanty otherwise a very
destructive fire would have resulted.
The burning oil and timbers We're a
mass of seething flames and it was
with extraordinary precaution that the
firamen approached the fire.
The alarm was rung from box IL

and the central city companies re-
sponded. together with several hum
dred people who were on the streets
at the time. While the shanty is COM
paratively small, the loss will amount
to several hundreds of dollars, as a
large quantity of oil was kept in the
place for supplying the engines and
yardmen who are engaged in Oiling the
cars as they pass through the yard.
1t was nearly two hours from the
time the flames Wsre discovered until
