men. dressed in plain clothes AS the
car swung around the curve there was
a rush for it, but the crowd was driven
back. The committee from the strikers
was allowed to approach the men.
DO you want to come with US, boys?
You won't regret it."
BOMBARDED WITH BRICKS.
There was no response from anv Of the
men. The motorman with his smile gone
waved them aside and the car was off
again. All restraint in the great crowd
broke. Through the middle of the street
men ran with women and children min
gfed with the officers of the law, whose
clubs were swinging and arms moving in
vain almost to keep from danger. Some
stopped to pick up stones and Were-push-
ed and overturned to be kicked and STUN
bled over by others. Before the car
started two policemen boarded it, They
simply made two extra targets for the
stones and bricks. They had not gone
fifty yards before ones helmet was crush
ed and the other policeman was in dan
ger of having more than his helmet dam
aged. There was a perfect fusilade of
stones. They came from all directions
and crashed through windows, front rear
and sides of the car. The men on board
lodged and jumped from side to side to
escape them and were successful with the
exception Of the motOrman. A great Jag
ged edged rock struck him full in the
forehead and he dropped to the floor of
the platform 1t was a deep, ugly cash
the rock left and blood flowed from it
in stream. The unfortunate man
dropped into a pool of his own blood that
covered the entire platform. The assist
ant as soon as the man dropped grasp
ed the brakes and controlling handle and
faced the mob. A few feet more and the
car was upon an insurmountable barr-
cade. With a sudden jerk it came to
stop and all who were on II were thrown
forward, the two conductors falling
amidst a pile Of broken glass to receive !
some ugly flesh wounds and cuts. The
conductors and one motorman joined the
strikers and the wounded men went to
the hospital. He said his name was Mar
shall and he lived at Green Point, L. L
Five arrests were made and thus ended
the first days attempt to run cars,
MORE RIOTING AT NIGHT.
Several thousand strikers and sympa-
thizers charged at dusk a wagon load Of
non-union men, who had been sent out
from the Quail street barns to repair the
trolley wires which had been cut during
the riots of the morning The wagon
left the barn under the escort of fifty pa.
trolmen including mounted officers and
proceeded 400 yards sourn ON Quail street,
through crowd of several thousand
persons. The wagon had no sooner stop
ped for the men to commence work than
a wild rush was made for them. The
police were powerless to stop the storm
of stones and bricks snowered upon the
non-union men from vacant lots, cross
streets and house tops. The men lay up
on their faces upon the floor of the
wagon and surrounded by the mounted
men who used their clubs on the more
aggressive of the rioters were hurried
back to the barns. Two of the non
union men were injured. Several of the
mob were severely dubbed. Three ar
rests were made.
The first step in the movement to quell
disorder by military forces was taken to-
night when the Tenth battalion and Third
signal corps of the national guard as
sembled at their armory. The order
calling out the troops created a profound
impression among the strikers and their
sympathizers and crowds surrounded the
armory Later it was decided to order
out the Twenty-third regiment of Brook
