UNION MEN MOB DRIVER.
RESERTES CALLED OUT.
Nearly 800 Employees of N. Y.
Transfer Com pang on Strike.

Since p. m. yesterday the drivers and helpers
employed by the New-York Transfer Company
have been on strike. and the company has been
crippled. Those employed to take the places of
the striking men have had a hard time, and last
night one Of the men was mobbed and the re-
serves of the Tenderloin station were called out
to rescue him.
James Wendell, of No. 81 Seventh-ave,, loaded
his wagon with a number Of trunks at the Lib
erty-st- station Of the New-Jersey Central Rail-
road and drove uptown All the way up West
St. he says, he pelted with rotten veg
etables and other missiles. and distractions
were placed in the way of his wagon. He got
to Twenty-ninth-st and SeVenth-ave, near his
home, however, without serious mishap, Leav-
ing his wagon for moment two. he went in
his house. When he came out big crowd had
gathered, which heoted him and threw things at
him. Some in the crowd yelled. Kill the scab!"
while others cut the rope which made fast the
trunks the wagon. The trunks tumhIed to
the ground, and were kicked and jumped on by
some of the hoodlums.-
The only policeman near was Patrolman
Matthews. With club drawn and blowing his
whistle for assistance. he fought his way into
the crowd, which now numbered about four
hundred, to Wendels side.
The express driver had received a number of
blows and things looked black for him. Mat
thews did what he could to protect Wendell, but
the odds were too heavy, and both Jared badly.
Some one, however. had run to the station and
told the sergeant on duty of riot in Seventh
ave. number Of the reserves were ordered out
and they ran to the scene of the trouble The
crowd was then quickly scattered, though not
dispersed.
Protected by the police, Wendell climbed to his
seat and started TO drive off Then he found
that the harness had been cut in a dozen places
and was useless. A messenger was dispatched
to the office of the transfer company, at Thirty
eighth-st- and SeVenth-ave, and new harness
obtained. When this had been placed on the
horse, Wendell drove. guarded on each side by
three policemen, to his destination, the Thirty
eighth-st. Office of the company.
The officials of the New-York Transfer Com
pauy had expected that trouble would ensue
when the men went on strike, and for that rea
son had asked for police protection. At 2
o'clock in the afternoon, the time when the
men went out, patrolmen from the West Twen-
tieth and West ThirtY-seVenth-st. stations were
on duty at No. 231 West Twenty-eighth-st., the
stables of the company. There are between
ers on strike and many of them were lettering
about the stables, but there was no trouble.
The men say they are required to work in
unseemly hours and are not sufficiently paid
They demand a day Of a prescribed number or
hours, and pay for the time they work over
time Police were on duty at the stables last
night.

HIGH PRICE FOR ASPHALT BONDS.
NOn-Assenting Bonds Bring $270, Against
$3.50 for Those Asserting.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Philadelphia, July "a block of $4,000 worth Of
the bonds Of the Asphalt Company of America
sold auction to-day at $27O the thousand. These
are unassented bonds. and the high price created
great deal Of comment among bankers The bonds
which have assented to the reorganization plan
quoted the Stock Exchange at only 19 $50 the
thousand. The bonds were bought by T. B. Smith
& Co. bankers and brokers' who will not say who
is their client
1t is believed that the purchase was for the Bull
ntt committee, which does not want the bonds to
fall into the hands of the reorganlzers There is
other good reason why the unassented bonds should
sell so much higher than those asserting.
