the troops being specifically directed
to shoot promptly and to kill if neces-

forced. There were some slight out
breaks of disorder. A volley was fred
over the heads of riotous crowd by
q squad of troops on Car but at IL
o'clock the cars are running over the
whole extent of the.several lines ard
no riosing of any consequence has
been reported from any part OF the

the west limits of the city, opened
fire on passing cars. A morto'man

Troops and county officers are
securing the fields for the attacking
individuals, and SO far have made two
arrests.
The cars continued their trips
steadily during the night, and beyond
the shooting mentioned there has been
no disorder of moment. The number
ofpassengers carried, however, is very
small.
Late tonight it was reported that
the bridge on which the Seven Pines
line, part of the Richmond trolley
system, crosses Stony Run, about q
mile and half from the city, is in
flames, having been set afre, it is al
