company running their cars with non- union men. This time the exhibition took place on South Main street near City corners and lively time those engaged had for few hours. Ire Dolice were not unprepared for tn for several officers were among the crowd in plain clothes. The company took no extra pains to protect their property or to suppress excitement that grew up suddenly in all parts of the highway along the South Main street line. Yet where trouble was expected if did not take place to any great eX- tent. That was on the Naugatuck end of the line. On account of the great labor tendency of the peoD'e of that community it was expected that the darkness of the night would be taken as the time when lnJury would be done either to the trolley cars or those in charge of them. This was common talk on the streets yesteruay, but further than firing volley or two of stones nothing occurred to make the occasion unusual.
 The excitement of the evening start ed with minor explosions under the cars as they passed on over Fourth or July Torpedoes and similar means of expressing patriotism on that annual occasion. Once in while giant fire cracker was fired at passing car but such ocurrences as this takes place on the Fourth of July and no attention would have been paid to them last evening but for the abnormal state of three weeks.
 The first indication of real trouble was given by the men in charge of the ears Mayne, the conductor, who was arrested and fined in the city court this morning was the originator He four ished a revolver when there was no cause whateverfor doing SO There were no bigger crowds on the street last night than there have been on many nights of late. and Afayne evidently having been prepared for trouble fourished bis revolver and then 1t be- gun in earnest again. Until then not a stone had been thrown, DO attempt to inJure property had been made, but after the revolver was seen, the peo- pie became aggressive. They felt of tended and abused and they retaliated with stones. Then windows were crushed like egg shells and conductors Oi- None of the men were struck. but very little glass was left in the windows of the cars. Car IS, one of those that went through the melee went down the line this morning looking as though it had really bad night. Almost all the windows were broken. Wherever a shade was down indicated q broken window, and there were many shades down. But $5 will repair the damage. Not striker was in the crowd that did this damage.
 One of the most significant things that has occurred in the strike happen. ed after the arrest of Mayne. The crowds dispersed having gratified their feelings and peace reigned along the Naugatuck line once more. Down near Union City the cars were also stoned but not with such results as nearer at home.
 When car IS returned to Exchange place Chief Egan came on the scene and helped disperse the crowds. He ulspatched Sergeant Pagan with the T car on it's next outward trip. Sd to Sergeant Pagan belongs the distinc- ton of being the first police officer that ever rode on a car in this city to nrn. tect 1t during strike.
 Manager Sewell in talking of +he disturbance last evening said the first attack was made by women and chiJ. dren and boys and young men joined In afterward. The windows in the cal were broken by the women and the mOtorman, whose name is Murnhv recelyed severe blow of stone Or the right arm, below the shoulder bona put the arm was somewhat pro fected by the heavy sleeve of his over coat Had the blow been received further down, MT Sewell is of the opin. Ion 1t would have broken the mans arm. He said the one who threw the stone is known.
