Tilt: STRIKE OS TUE WHARVES.
Thc Longihoremcu Attempt to Throw n
Whit* Man Overboard-They also
Throw Bricks at the Nen who will
Work.
Thc strike ot thc members of thc Longshore
men's Protective Union Association, which com?
menced on last Friday, because their employers
would not accede to their demand that they
should only work from seven o'clock in tho morn?
ing to (Ive o'clock In the evening, and rccclvo for
those ten hour's work two dollars and a half, and
forty cents for each additional hour they worked,
still continues*. Thc moderation which marked
their conduct at first bas given plnco to violence
mid lawlessness, which. If not speedily checked,
will end In bloodshed.
On Friday, soon after thc strike commeuccd,
Messrs. Ravcuul, Bowen and E. W. Marshall call?
ed upon thc Mayor and stated that the strikers
were Interfering with tho willie men engaged at
work upon the vessels. Tho Mayor promised tn
send policemen to protect thc workmen. Ac?
cordingly a few policemen were sent, und there
was no further Interference that day.
bate Friday afternoon one of the stevedores
motored to unload the steamship Chorleston, of
Hie Charleston and New York Steamship bino,
stated to a committee of 'thc strikers that he
was willing to employ twenty of them at fl 50
per day, if they would work with the men already
employed, and from seven o'clock'A. M. to six
o'clock P. M., and receive forty cents per hour
after six o'clock. They, after consultation, re?
fused to accede to till* proposition, but thc next
morning signified their willingness legwork upon
tho conditions proposed. Twenty men were se?
lected frOni thc large number of strikers present,
and were sent into thc hold of the-steamship.
They ?iAil scarcely commenced work when aines*
scuger from thc non-workers was Hcnt to them.
He delivered lils message, and they Immediately
ceased work ami left thc vessel.
At an early hour yesterday morning the strikers
were on thc wharves where the steamships lay,
about nearly all of which white men, In addition
to tile crews, were at work loading or unloading.
They, by persuasions and thrents, succeeded In
inducing the laborers to stop work nt all of the
steamships oxceptlng thc Charleston. Here,
.aiicnit 8 o'clock, a very large number of thc stri?
ker*, assembled, thirty or forty or whom went
upon the wharf and Interfered with the work?
men, using alt methods excepting force to make
them desist. A white man, being worried beyond
endurance by these negroes, ordered them to
keep" away from him. They attempted t? seize
him, hut ho resisted until ovcrpowerfil. Four of
them caught-hold or him, and lu response to tho
cries ot the excited crowd to drown him, wcro
upon thc point ot throwing him overboard, and
would have done so, but for Mr. Eastcrhy and
other gentlemen who caine up. Thc police were
then culled upon, and they came and cleared thu
wliurf or the negroes, inning this struggle'the
white man received a palm ul wound tn thc hand
and was severely bruised In various portions or
the body. After this uffulr the negroes lc?, thc
wharf:
Everything along the wharves remained quiet
until dark, when the white men and colored men,
not members ot the "union," who had been work?
ing, "knocked off work" to go to supper. On their
way to and from tho whnrr they were assailed hy?
the strikers, who threw bricks and rocks at them -
-thc missiles which struck these men fortunate?
ly bulleting only slight bruises. The Chief of Po?
lice was nut Hied of this affair and sent a small
squad or police down, when the negroes became
quiet. .We heard or no arrest.
We learn that thc nuitimore Steamship Com?
pany employed-the longshoremen yesterday to
load the steamship Sea (lull, at thc rates demand?

Tus DRAMATIC SEASON was opened Inst night at
Hibernian Hull quite auspiciously. Thc house,
though not crowded, was well fliie<Vahd'every?
body waa pleased with the great Improvements
which have been made in the stage and tra.ap?
pointments, since thc hull was last used for dra- ,
malle purposes. 'Thc removal of thc side doors
has given a very respectable width to' the stage
front, and the footlights, heretofore nu unsightly
obst niel iou to thc view, have been countersunk
and hidden from thc sight of thc audtcuco. Thc
scenery ls altogether new, and exceedingly hand?
some UH compared with thc wretched daubs
which last winier formed thc background to
every performance; and thc proscenium decora?
tions constitute n rich frame-work for Die mollow
huesof the Italian water-view which forms thc
drop curtain. Altogether thc new stage arrange?
ments are very satisfactory, and reflect infinite
credit on the commlttco of gentlemen who had
them.lu charge. Thc committee, we believe, con?
sisted of the President, Socrctary'and.Treasurer
of the Hibernian Society, with thc Chairman of
the Finance Committee.
The piece presented was Taylor's sensational
drama, "The Tickot-of-Leave:Man," and passed
olr'sinootUly-' enough. Whatever the shortcom?
ings of the company. Hs performance was so far
un Improvement upon thc theatricals heretofore
given us, that wc feel little disposed to be criti?

though her acting orten lacks spun. Mr. Brown
