BY order of
COL. GEORGE w4A1NF ANDERSON.
C.isCi. BOSS11lUN,
Nt CAPTAIN and Adiutant.
An Struck Tents.
As soon as this order was issued tho
military n;dut%,tn Fulton. at the Rescr-
voir, at the arfIiory. at the Clay Street
car seds and at Oakwood and tho
squad guarding the arsenal iii tic Capt.
tol Square broke their camps and struck
their tents and proceeded TO the armory.
where they deposited their arms and ac-
coutrenents and soon after emerged MS
civilians. 1t was happy crowd as the
mon came into headquarters from their
posts, nearly all OF them rldiJs on the
trolley cars.
At the Virginia Hospital are two incn-
bcrs of Company L. Of tho Scvcntielh
who arc under treatment for fever and
one. Private Laughon, Of Company E
14ynchburg Home Gunrd. who Is being
treated for injuries sustained in an ac-
cidnrt on a street car. The two Rich
mond nfantrymcn sick arc Private Ed
ward G1iggs and Musician Evans, OF
L Company, both residents Of this city.
All three men arc getting along as well
as could be expected.
The new men on tho cars are rapidly
becoming familiar with the work. and
accidents are fewer than for some days.
AS a general thing the new men arc
careful tic fast runners being the OK
perienced men, who have operated cars
in other cities.
Bitterness Disappearing.
Perhaps the most noteworthy phase
OF the strike matter now is the rarity
Of discussion of it in public. a few in
dividuals in groups on the street corners
may be heard to mention the subject.
but the bitterness that marked discus
sons OF the subject some time ago Is
fast disappearing. Little Is heard now
OF the proposition to mark and boycott
those who ride on the cars, and daily adj
ditional persons arc taking up the trolley
habit A good many are still riding in
vehicles run for their accommodation
and many more are walking, but not !
nearly so man. as a week ago. Tho use
of cpthets. and especially Of the OBJ
noXious and offensive term. "scab, is
becoming so rare that 1t is never heard |
applied to those who have taken the |
strikers places, except where small
groups Of strike sympathiZers refer to
them In this way. So far as announced. |
none of the labor organizations which
prescribed fines for riding on the cars
have repealed or rescinded their action
The fear OF this fine Restraints many from
riding who might otherwise do so,
Strike Broken; Union Firm.
That the strike is broken there can
now be no doubt whatever. The strikers
organization has not been broken. how
ever, and many predict that 1t will not be |
FOR a long time to come. The general |
impression Is that the disintegratton OF
the body OF strikers viii DC a slow and |
gradual process.
Tho members of Iardclla's Band which |
Is under contract with the city to give
concerts in the parks every evening, are
still riding TO and from the parks in
wagons. The members of the band find
this rather expensive luxury. and some
of them are beginning to murmur against
the cost.
