f ! the trolley service took place. It was thought the night would be liveher than It turned out to be. While the elements of mischief kept the guard ians of the peace rather busy in some parts of the city, the night fell tar snort of the expectations of those ui- rectly interested One thing notice able, however, was the passenger traffic. That seemed to have fallen off good deal 1t has not been worth the trouble and expense, were there not principle involved, since the outset of the strike Since the military men came here it has been very small. Last evening very few rode, owing, no doubt, to the reports of trouble i'll the air. 1t was night of apprehension.
 Early in the evening cars began ar irving at Exchange place with shat tered windows. The first incident of this kind took place opposite the American Ring factory on Bank street about 6 o'clock The streets were crowded and though 1t would seem i'm possible to do such Il thing unnol1ced, it was out of the question to find out who broke three panes of glass. The damage was done, it would seem, with one hand, for three windows were shattered simultaneously. This car was in charge of Gerald Mayne, the conductor. whose conduct week ago last evening was one of the causes of precipitating the riot that night When Mayne's car again passed the Ring factory another window was broken. Patrick Lunny, brother of Thomas F., the well known hack driver, had the i'll luck to get between Il passing car and . crowd of boys that were stoning 1t. Lunny thought he was in the battle of Bull Run or Vinegar HILL the fire was so hot. Such shower of stones he never saw, and though he drove hard through 1t he did not escape getting hit. He was struck | near the knee cap and laid up for half an hour. There was deputy on this car and when the first attack was made he pulled his gun, 1t is said, and made for the crowd. Had that crowd been in the saine humor that marked the close of the terrible doings of last Sunday morning, that sheriff would have been sorry he ever interfered with that crowd of boys and young men. But the crowd had nothing against the man., { They showed him what they could have done with him had they cared to and let him go But soon after he returned to the scene 1 with endorsements and then brief but lively battle took place. The car was damaged more than. it was when
 1t left the first time. Practically that was the damage that was done. It was said that MT Sewell was in this
 crowd of deputies, but 1t is greatly
 doubted.
 I Gar windows were smashed on the Oakviile and South Main street lines and cars on the latter were withdrawn J about II o'clock. One of the biggest incidents of the evening occurred on the South Main street line. 1t was about S:30 when q car got stalled op. posite Hotchkiss < Templeton's store, ! A great crowd collected before Assist ant Superintendent Bookings and In q spector MisselI got to the place. The men in charge of the car do not under stand what the trouble was. Missell and Bookings got the car under way
 without bother, but there was greai
 eommotion and excitement while the car was held up. The trouble was
 with the circuit.
