The cars on the Pawtucket street rail-
way began running again this morning
on full schedule and with no sign OF
trouble or passengers. All the cars were
out. parading the streets In gloomy pro-
cession. with motormen and conductors
doing nothing but killing time, with one
or two exceptions earlier In the forenoon
when vigorous puffs of smoke from pipes
in the motormen's mouths showed new
rule of the railroad comnany.
Yesterdays immense crowds, present TO
celebrate st. Johns day, were as orderly
and peaceful as any such day ever was
and during the hours the cars were run
ming I'm the forenoon, while the crowds
were gathering and In the afternoon
when the cars were In the barn, there was
nothing to show that a strike was on.
People walked down street In the morn
ing and back again In the evening. ap-
parontly giving no thought to the cars.
Mayor Fitzgerald this morning IN an
interview with News man said tha; the
entire city had been as quiet for the past
"a hours as in any like periods In Its nir-

Mayor Fitzgerald. The pictures are seen
in all directions and on every corner.
At strike headquarters the same state
OF calm exists. as has been the case since
the strike started. Naturally the men
were greatly elated at the sweeping
opinion OF the Supreme court upholding
the constftutionaiity of the 10-hour law,
and also declaring illegal the contract
idea OF the Traction company. The en-
thusiasm OF the men was confined within
bonds. and everything was quite after
the decision was announced.
Another shooting affair was reported
to have taken place last evening when
pistol shots were fired into a car con-
taining passengers as II passed Eighth
street, Just on the Providence side OF the
lire. Nobody was injured and the par
ties firing the shots were heard running
up the street and across the lots.
No report was MADE at the Pswtucket
police station concerning the alleged
stoning OF cars In two or three sections
OF the city last evening.

It's effect on tho troops at the armory,

home. and from all quarters Information
was asked II anything had besn decided
I'm this respect. An unfounded runor
prevailed that some Of the men would be
