NO CARS ARE YET RUNNING
NEW ORLEANS STREET RAILWAY
SYSTEM STILL TIED UP.
Mayor capdeveile and Others Are Max
ING Efforts to Bring About a Settle
nent of Differences.

New Orleans. September 30.--The street
car strike condition today from the stand
point Of the guardians Of the peace was
very satisfactory. No trouble occurred as
no attempt was mnde to move cars other
thun those carrying mails, But few strik-
crs were congregated at the various sta
tlons and power houses of the railway
company. Several mail cars were run and
delivered mail to the sub-statlons without
difficulty in the quarter below Canal
street
On the uptown lines, receiving at Car
bella street barn, nothing could be done
with mail cars, on account of the trouble
on the wires. A mall car left the Maya
zine barns and went to the custom house,
but could not then be taken back as there
was no power
II was reported that wires had been cut,
but 1t is believed that the trouble was
due to the wires being grounded. Be
cause of this unlocked for occurrence, it
WINS decided that the cars would not be
used TO convey the mail 10 the uptown
stations Wagons were brought into re-
QUESTION.
The action of the New Orleans Street
Railway company IN causing the arrest OF
the officers ana members of the union,

erul courts, while the local authorities had
shown that they were fully equal to cope
with the situation, has apparently intonsi-
ued public sympathy for the strikers While

United States marshal had been invoked
and disclamed responsibility for this. but

Brennan, Texas, September 3O-Mr. ].
d. Routt Of Chappell Hill, who Mas been
one of the greatest sufferers from Brazos
overaows, having lost $4,000 in the past
three years, was In the city Monday. He
says that he don't know what the BRACES
bottom planters are going to do Unless
something is done to lessen the danger Of
overdows he believes 1t is too hopeless for
the planters to go back In there next spring
and plant another crop. He is in favor Of
cutting the bends IN the river now while
the farmers have no work for their teams,
for II they walt until spring the teams will
be busy blowing.
Mr.. Routt thinks that II a ditch sixty feet
wide and about ten feet deep In the center
was cut across the bends the FIRST rise IN
the river would do the rest This would
take much OF the river through a near cut
before II began to overflow, and as Il wash.
ed out the two outlets the old river bed and
tho new would hold the flood waters and
prevent 1t from scattering all over the
bottom and devastating the finest section
OF farming land In the world.
