NORFOLK, VA, March 26.-OpAmistic

would probably end to-day appear to have
little prospect of realization, in view of
the fact that the Norfolk Railway and
Light Company has secured from Judge

an Injunction restraining /. II. Kelley
and others of their late employees from
attacking the con1pany's cars or interfer-
ing in any way. with their property.
AN INJUNCTION.
The company sued out the injunction
on March 9th, and to day gave bond in
$1,000 by which the Injunction became
operative. The officials Of the road say
that things have come to such a. pass
that this action became necessary. 1t is
explained that hereafter any one interfer-
ing with the cars need not be tried in the
lower court, but may be brought before
the Corporation Court judge, who may
commit them to jail.

$3.50 for three months. Mr.. James F.

J. w. Nicholson, striking cmploye Of
the Norfolk Railway and Light Com
pany. who was suspected of being one OF
the men who held up a Lambert's Point
car last Saturday night, and upon whose
person when arrested was found a pair
Of steel knuckles is in Jail and will be

tridges. Officers. Hayes and Jones. of the
county, arrested Nicholson, who was ar
rested on a city warrant.
A WONIAN'S THREAT.
When Constable Hayes went to Mich
olson's home last night to arrest him,
Nicholsons wife, when Hayes knocked
on the door, threatened, he says. to shoot
him. Disdaining her threat, Hayes was
proceeding to break in the door, when
Nicholson came and opened 1t. The steel
knuckles were found in Nicholson's over
coat pocket when he was searched at the
station. He denied knowledge of how
they came to be there.
At Lambert's Point to-day George Still
and George Fields, two boys, were. by
Justice Smith, held for the grand jury
on the charge of obstructing and shooting
into a street-car.
Fred. Lupsey, an adult, was held on
the charge Of melting the others.
A FRUITLESS CONFERENCE.
A Central Labor Union committee,
Messrs. Orr. Trout and Brownley, held a
conference with General Manager of the
Street Railway Company Johnston to-
day. Neither side conceded anything, and
the conference failed of result Another
conference will probably take place, but
nothing short Of unconditional surrender
by the strikers. it appears, will be ac-
ceptable to the company. Many deserted
the strikers and re-entered the scompany's
employ. Five are stated to have done so
to-day.
The injunction and the prospect of
having to go to Jail In contempt with
out bail, should they misbehave, appears
to have sobered many OF the strikers.
The labor leaders claim that because
of the boycott 5000 people will not ride
on the cars This seems to be true, as
although travel = Increasing, it is APP
parently still far below normal.
FOR A BATTLESHIP.
The battleship committees hereabouts
will appear before the House Naval Com
mittee at Washington April % to urge
that a battleship be built at this navy
yard.
1t transpired here o-day when Max
Fischer qualified as his guardian that
Moses Fordonsky, nineteen years old, a
street-car conductor now on strike here,
is heir to several thousand dollars, left
by his uncle, s. Nordonsky, a. liquor
dealer at Bradford, Pa, who died re-
Gently, leaving a considerable estate, OF
which $4,000 was in cash. There are five
heirs, Moses young brother, Solomon,
being one. Solomon is in Atlanta.
