CONTINUE TO STRIKE.
Former Employees Who Have Not Gone
 Back to Work.

The street car strikers. regardless of the fact that 8 number of the former employees of the company have gone back to work are still continuing the battle.
 After many former employees had returned to work for the company. having been accepted at their own re- quest, it was thought the trouble was over, but the men who have declined to accept their former positions or who have been turned down by the Traction Company after they had made their application for reinstatement, in sist that the strike is yet in It's in- fancy.
 Numerous reports are received of damage to cars in various ways. rang ing from brickbats to dynamite, but no loss of life or serious injury has yet resulted.
 As the result of an altercation on the Square. Joseph Peoples was ar- rested twice yesterday, once for dis orderly conduct and again for assault
 The first charge was a minor matter, but the second one grew out of an al- tercation between Peoples and James K. Ingram, in which knives and pis- tols were in evidence.
 Peoples said last night that Ingrafn was the man who said he was going to run him out of town. and that the argument was continued yesterday on that account, with the result that Pee ples was arrested. He in turn swore out a warrant for the arrest of In- gram.
 On account of recent disturbances along the lines, the Traction Company has decided to keep deputy sheriffs here instead of dispensing with their services as was intended last Satur- day.
 V. V. Wilson, conductor. and George Hallovan, motorman, on a South Jack son and Washington Park car, were arresteed yesterday for the violation of the city ordinance designed to sep arate the negroes from the white peo- pie on the street cars.
 The arrest was made by Officers Huffman and Jackson. The charge was made that several white ladies had to stand while the negroes occupied seats. The case will be heard in the Record eres Court.

If an ordinance introduced in the City Council last night by Alderman Jones is passed, it will be an offense against the laws of the city for the Montgomery Fraction Company to op- crate street cars with motormen or conductors under twenty-one years of age.
 The measure has the caption an or- dinance ito further regulate the oper- ation of street cars in the city of Mont Eomery." It not only prohibits the company from employing minors, but 1t also forbids minors from serving the company in the capacity of motorman or conductor. A violation of the law

 John W. Tomlinson. who delivered an address last week before the Brook lyn Democratic Club. Is back. and says that the prospects of the Demo- cratic Party for next year are very bright He says that the ovation giv- en William Jennings Bryan last week in New York Is significant. and that many men who did not vote for the Nebraskan in the previous races are now outspoken for him and that means something. He states that while East he heard of many Republicans being dissatisfied with President Roosevelt, and that the recent controversy be- tween President Roosevelt and Fl. II. Hartman has caused many to turn against the President and his party. MT. Tomlinson stated that while in the East he heard of many Republicans who will vote the Democratic ticket the next time.

Weather Detracts from Success of Mis-
 sion at st. John's.
 The second day of the mission which Is being held a. St. Johns Episcopal Church, conducted by Rev. John R. Matthews. was disappointment in some respects. as the weather was so disagreeable few persons had the cour- age to venture out in it. Those who were there, however, enjoyed greatly the fine lecture on the Bible which was given at the morning service. as well as the sermon fin the evening. Dr. Matt thews has a remarkable knowledge of the Bible.
 At the evening sermon Dr. Matthew's compared the organ to the human heart strings, and said that Jesus was begging to be allowed to play on them and that he knew much better than we the construction of that organ. Having suffered nearly every human emotion, he could sympathize with the sufferings of each one and was the only one who could supply the needs of the human heart.
 Dr. Matthews pleaded with every one in the congregation who knew that he had some sin, to come with his sin and lay 1t before the Saviour. who was the only one who could help him.
 He said it was not necessary that one feel that he was forgiven. 1t was as if little child had done sotns- thing wrong and gone to its mother to ask forgiveness and the mother said that 1t was forgiven. If the child were to say that 1t did not feel that 1t was forgiven the mother would re- buke 1t by asking If 1t did not believe what mother told it.
 The meetings will be at 10 o'clock in the mornings and o'clock in the evenings, with the exception of Thurs day and Saturday, when there will be no service in the evening.

 On the Cloverdale line a car ran into two sticks of dynamite. each about two inches in length, on the track on Hull Street near Finley Avenue. An exami- nation of 1t was shown the only reason the cartridge did not explode was be- cause the caps were not properly ad- justed.

 When Alderman Jones introduced the ordinance, he declared 1t to be very important and asked a suspension of the rules for it's passage.

 The motion for @ suspension was then put and lost and the ordinance was referred to the committee on franchises and privileges.
