: IMPORTED FROM RICHMOND.
Eleven men were imported from Balti-

company, but the few cars run out
were manned by mormer employees. It is
rumored that becauseFof the fact that the
company made no attempt to run cars
two days, some hostiles will seek to Sc
cure the. annulment Of their charter. III Z:
Tonight four, companies of troops are
on duty on the car line, While four sleep
in the arnnory. Distasteful as the calling
out of the troops WAS the majority of
the citizens, it is: regarded as sprOba bic
that had they not been on the scene
there would probably have been some
fighting; what row has been made,
though, is only taceablc to strike sym
T.ltfizers, and no striker has been de-
tccted in any act Sunlawful.
It is apprehended that the COMPANY S

that they were cut to-day appears errone-

means that no trolleys will be cutsas to

dered that no attempt be made to run
cars tonight, saving. that tits useless to
risk the lives of the motorrnen, as no pas

The soldiers each have thirtY4roundS of
ammunition, and each policeman has riot

bayonets was but slightly greater than Of

some junior officers and many strikers
having very evidently drank much. Only
about thirty-tive of the strikers are in

abiding. One battalion Of troops ,.are
camped in the car barn, the other at the

The first car started at 1852 o'clock this
