The Great ^tro? Car Strike. Organized Labor vs. Bayonet Backed Capital. BROOKLYN, Jan. 23.-Maj. Abrams, io command of two companies of the Seventh Regiment, at S o'clock this morning closed.all saloons near Ridge- < wood, fie stationed pickets at the door of each, with orders not to allow any one to pass io or oat. A large number of men were practically im? prisoned. Maj. Abrams said be would keep them closed all day. He also closed the hall io Palmetto Street, where the strikers gather. There were 300 meo io the place at the rime, and they clamored to get oat. Finally a messeDger was dispatched to the office of Baldwin Strauss, a lawyer in Falt?n Street, and an boar later he appeared before Justice G ay cor in the Supreme Court, asking for a writ of habeas corpus compelling Brig. Gen. McLeer to produce the imprisoned strikers in ffe eon rt at 4 o'clock. When McLeer was served with the writ of babeas corpas be sent word to ! Col. Appleton to release the men who were penned in the ball, and when the lawyers entered court to argue the mat ter the men were at liberty and were not produced io court. Frederick Leoeser & Co.. dry goods merchants orj Fulton Street, suspended 500 clerks to-day, so they announce, until the strike ts over. Adjutant General McAlpin, Judge Advocate General Wallace aod Military Secretary Marvin of the Governor's staff called opoo Mayor Schieren this afternoon aod had a brief interview with him. The Mayor subsequently said that there was no necesssity of calling out more ?roops. More than 200 special policemen have been sworn in daring the past two day as a sup? plementary force to the regularly ap? pointed police. Preparations were made to opeo the Hicks Street Hoe of the Atlantic avenue system shortly after noon. The Thirteenth Regiment. Colonel Austin io command, with Majors Coon rau aod Luscotn io charge of the two batil!ioo3, bad been on doty on Fifth Avenue on Twenty-third Street aod at Ninth A venae and Twen? tieth Street, respectively. They were ordered to protect the route of the Hicks Street ca:s. This regiment, is ooe which saw service io the Buffalo riots and it will stand no nonsense. The first car was started from the Batler Street stables at 2.26 p. m. It was car No 156 On the front plat? form was a special policeman, and on thp rear Officer Seward was on duty. Colonel Austen deployed bis men over several blocks in the neighborhood . where he anticipated trouble. The Second battaliion got a hot reception in the region about Hicks i. d Harrison Streets. Stones, bottles and other missies were thrown at them from windows. They were taunted and ridiculed by people who flood on the door steps, and in at least one instance a revolver was pointed at them from a window. Tje first car itself was not attacked, at least so its occupants say. The militia men themselves were the targets. Finally they ordered that all windows be closed and the sidewalks and doorways cleared The people io the mob did not obey There was the crack of a rifle, and a piece of brown? stone was chipped froai a house front at the side cf a window. The window was closed. People across the way leaned oat over the heads of the troops and threw things. "Crack I" spoke the guns, and ballets whizzed past several heads The police rushed into the house at 419 Hicks street and arrested Jacob Qainian for throwing lumps of coal at Private William Cole, of C m pany I. At 439 Hicks street they arrested John Meade, who pointed a loaded revolver oat of a window at Corpo? ral Platt of Company 1. Just be? yond this house, over Pollard's sa? loon, No 444 Hicks 6treet, a man was seeo oo the roof. The order was given "stand back there!" Almost simultaneously, several shots were fired and the man dropped. He was a roofer by the name of Thomas Carny. A bullet eotered his right thigh, passed upward through the groin and abdo? men. He was removed tc the Long Is? land College Hospital and the coroner sent for to take his ance-mortem state? ment. There were in all about forty shots. Carney was the only man shot. The car proceeded without interruption after that Judge Gaylor in Supreme Court special term, beard arguments at ll o'clock to-day by Delos McCurdy, of New York, aod M L. Towns of Brooklyn, in the supplication of Joseph Loader and Company, a Fulton street merchant, on an order to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue against the Brooklyn Heights Railroad to compel them to operate their lines. Judge Gaynor said the differences be? tween the companies and the men were so slight he thought they should be easily adjuEted, and would hardly just? ify the court interfering. The decision is reserved. Early in the day Troop A. New York city swell cavalrymen, charged with drawn babers to disperse a mob which was stoning a gang of non-union work? men repairing tracks. The linemen and electrical workmen, after much deliberation, decided to strike out of sympathy for the con? ductors and mo (or m en. Their action will increase the troubles of the presi dents of the trolley line. Presidents Lewis, Norton and Wick? er, of the fhree systems atTeeted, de? clare that the strike is practically won hy them now that they have shown that they can operate their lines. They propose to open the new lines to-mor? row, and predict a complete restoration j of traffic io a few days. The strikers made a proposition to the presidents 1 to-day, offering to leave all matters io" dispute to the arbitration of William I J Richardson, a director in the At I lantic Avenue Railroad Company aud asoo of the late Deacon Richardson Tbe presidents once more positively I refused overtures of arbitration or to | treat with the strikers' organization. The strikers were paid off to-day by the executive committee. The mar? ried men were paid $10 per week, and the single $7. Tbe strike fund has been growing daily, and a considerable sam is now on hand. The troops found their task easier to-day than heretofore. Judge Gaynor Gives Heart to tbe Trolley Car Men. i BROOKLYN, Jan. 24.-The eleventh j day of the trolley road strike in this city was unmarked by any scene of great violence. Crowds at various points were easily dispersed. In only one instance were the soldiers compelled to resort to a bayonet charge. The beginning of the end of the strike, it is thought, was reached to-day. The strikers played their last card yesterday in ordering out the electrical workmen on all the lines affected. Wholesale wire cutting took place during the night and many , of the linemen obeyed the order to quit work. This gave the companies more trouble. Several lines which have been operated for several days were tied up for a time in the early morn? ing. They were started after repairs had been made by new men and by i those who refused to go out. The companies started new lines to-day, ! and while normal traffic is not yet restored, yet cars are operated on all "the main arteries of travel. Smaller branches to outlying districts and cross town lines are still idle. . There were 237 cars in operation on the various lines not completely tied up to-day. The normal number on these lines is 567, more than twice the number in use. Altogether, there were seventeen Hues in working order, thirty-one less than the usual number. The forty-eight roads com? bined have a total of about 1,300 cars. Greenpoint saw its first car for ten days and its protesting citizens, who yesterday demanded the forfeiture of j charters, were somewhat mollified. | Law and order is not yet complete? ly established, even though cars are able to run with some degree of safe? ty to their occupants. It is definite? ly decided, however, that no orem troops are needed and the troops now j here are expected to restore order. The man. Thomas Carney, who was j shot in the battle of Hicks street yes ? terday* afternoon, died at 2 45 a. m., j to day. His was the second death : from the bullets from the soldiers. Whatever criticism the militia re? ceive they should at least be given credit for great forbearance during the trying experiences of the past five days They have been subject- j ed to every kind of abuse and ill- ; treatment. They have been com- ! pelled several times to fire volleys j over the heads of the riotous assem- ! blages and to protect themselves! from attacks from the shelter of house j tops and windows by rattling bullets ! against the blinds and cornices of the j houses when their commands to close 1 all windows and stand back have been met by derision, abuse and more missiles. In two instances only, have the troops fired directly at the people. The most important development in the strike situation to-day was the decision of Judge Gaynor, in which he ordered a writ against the Brook? lyn Heights Company. The decision is quite a lengthy one and discusses the rights of the people, the company and the strikers it) the matter with great care. His conclusion is that the company must run its full comple? ment of cars or forfeit. Ile declares the company has no legal right to stop traffic for even an hour. "In respect to the ques'ion of hours and wages between the compauy and its emp'oyee8, its duty was to have gone on, and now is to go on with its full complement of employees, having the right gradually and from day to day to supersede its employees if it can by new employees, who will work on its terms, or to supersede them all at once when it has obtained a sufficient number of new employees for that purpose ; but in such a con? troversy, it has no* the right to stop its cars while it is thus gradually get? ting other men. If the people of the State were running these ruads, they would not thus incommode and dam? age, themselves ; and it must not be forgotten that this corporation :s in? structed with the running of these roads as the servants of the people of the State * * * * "Each party has that right to ob taiu the best terms it can ; and, as was said in the freight handlers case, if the company caunot get men at a price it thinks fair, it is bound to get them at a price it may deem exor bitajtf, because its duty is to run its roJHk j| j^i for^each side will be beard at 10 o'clock to-morrow as to form of writ, peremptory or native, shall be issued. Judge Gaynor's decision, se have infused a new spirit ii leaders of the strike, who c they are now as determined a in their struggles and believe th be successful, but are willin they have been from the begi to submit the question at is arbitration. The wire cutting last nigh more extensive that any time the strike began The wir? some of the lines were so mutilated that a large force of ru? many hours work were necessary them in working order. The of the Troy avenue line were c several places. On the Third a line whole sections of the ove wires were cut out during the 1 From Sixtieth to Sixty-fifth s not a vestige of an overhead w this line was left The feed wi this point was also cut Oi Ninth avenue line the supply was cut for several blocks Seventh avenue and Sixteenth s; near the old stable of the Ninth nue line, a whole section of wire ripped out and the ends of the grounded. At Twentieth street Seventh avenue the cross sectio the curve at that point was cut On the Fifteenth 6treet line the i have been cut nearly along the It took many hours to repaii many breaks because the comp: had so few linemen at work and 011 the lines affected did not run some time afternoon. In a lengthy typewritten e ment, President Norton of the lan tic Railroad Company, rev the strike and its cause, from companies' 6tand point An other things, it cites that had demands of the men been accede? it would have decreased the pre profits of the company by $500 per year. In the interest of stockholders, he says, he refused demands Ile also gives his rea: for his refusal to entertain the pr< sitionofthe men to arbitrate, main reason for the refusal was t so far as the lines of the corapa which he represented were cone ed.. the strike was practically ( and it would only be a matter < few days when the cars on all lines would he runniug as regu! as they were before the strike be? President Lewis, of the Broo? Heights Company, made a sim statement saying that the comp had plenty of men, but notwithets ing this statement, the advertisem for additional men appears in all morning papers. The first car over the Greenpc line was started this morning. WI the car reached a point on Franl street, between Greene and f mantle, a big crowd that had gi ered there attacked the car w stones. Nearly every window in car was broken. A detachment police dispersed the men and the resumed its journey. When the c hall was reached, it was decided go no further. The cross town 1 of the Brooklyn Heights v -,s a started up today. Fif ( s wi started up without tro. Tin lines have been completely tied ei since the strike was inaugurated. Sixty cars were running on 1 Gates avenue and Myrtle aven lines, thirty on each. The officials of the Brunswick a Union street lines did not attempt start cars today. Everything \\ reported to be quiet at Ridgewo' this morning. At Gates avenue and Central ai i nue, a car of the Gates avenue li : was slopped by obstructions at o'clock tliis morning. The handl of the motor boxes were remove j and strikers tried to induce the m ! torman and conductor to desert wit ! out success. The strikers were d i persed by the police. Hicks street, the scene of yest* ; day's fatal shooting, presented j peaceful and quiet aspect this mon ? ing. The Thirteenth regiment, whi< j did the shooting yesterday, is still ( guard in that neighborhood and I stationed along Hicks street for j mile or more. The windows alon ; the street were kept tightly close< j and no more trouble is appr?hende i in this vicinity. The soldiers th j morning received orders to do n I shooting, unless positively necessary ; Colonel Austen, commandant of th \ Thirteenth, instructed his men toda j to arrest persons refusing to obe commands instead of tiring ov. then: The soldiers were also informed tha ; the street was practically under mai tial law and soldiers had power to er ter houses and arrest any one disturb ing the peace. The running of cars on Hick street began this morning at 7 o'clock Four cars were kept on the line du i ring the day, but no disturbances oe curred. Some of the people alon? the line were very bitter against tin soldiers for shooting, as they claim j recklessly yesterday. The soldier; claim they fired no shots until the} were themselves fired upon. . A crowd of about TOO striken gathered at the old car barn on Thin: avenue and Twenty-third street at ll o'clock this morning. There were but few soldiers at this point and thc ] crowd worked its way nearly to the depot. They were ordered to scatter, : and threw several stoues at the i guard. The militia formed in line j and drove the crowd back at I the point of the bayonet. On the i ; return of Mie guard, tiie crowd } pressed loi ward and the p charged them and arrested thr them. Tlie crowd further res j the police, but were finally dispe At 3:15 p. ru the wir ea were . circuited and humed our for sixn, jon Broadway, between Chauncey s ' and Sumter street. A detachmei j troops quickly dispersed the cr ! fifteen cars were blocked until c I when ?he lines were repaired. At 3:30 p. m the strikers cut I wires on Fulton street between Ho? j son and Rockaway avenues. Mou I police quickly appeared and the j cutters fled No arrest* were mar either case The wires are sagged j cut from Saratoga to Hopkinson avi ! on Fulton street. No troops : stationed at this point. An occasi mounted policeman arrived, but wire cutters disappeared At 3:45 p. m. troops arrived a', scene of wire cutting at Sack i street. From that point to Rock j avenue ash barrels and heaps of a j covered the tracks. There were ; crowds in sight and no arrests \ j made. i President Norton of the North At ' tic Avenue Railroad Company, .

Representatives of ail the linemen j the street, railroads, of the eleva j roads in Brooklyn and of the Met ! politan Traction Company of New Y< met in conference with the cxecut committee of District Assembly No. in Muggs Hall this afternoon. Rep seotatives of street car organizati? in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newai Jersey City, Hoboken, Elizabeth, i ! baoy, Rochester, Syracuse and otl j cities were present. Dan Murpl ! president of Typographical Union ? i 6, of New York, was also present, j Judge Gaynor's decision was t j principal topic of discussion and t j speakers expressed confidence of ul ; mate success The president of Typ ' graphical Union No 6, of New Yoi j promised that financial aid would j given to continue the fight on legi I mate lines Three lines which have been in ope i ation for several days-the Seven j aveuue; the Niutb aveuue and the F j teenth street lines-were tied up t \ day This was the result of the ?ir. ; men's strike, which wa- ordered la i twight The wires on th-e lines foui i ri j to be cut this morning an the linean I refused to repair them .'he places ? the men were not filled during the di i and the roads could not be operate ; The cutting was done in a thorough j scientific manner and indicated a grea ! er knowledge of electrical affairs thi ; po.-sessed by the uninitiated. Sever attempts were made at the car housi ; to start cars, but the cars did not g more th*n two or turee blocks away. None of the lines attempted to ru I cars late at night The Hicks strei i line shut down about 4 p m. and tl : Thirteenth r?giment returned to the armory for the night. The cross-tow j liue stopped before dark. The cars o i Broadway, Gates avenue, Myrtle av* i nue and Flushing avenue stopped aboi 7 o'clock. The last Hues operated wei the Court street, the Fuitoo avenue an '? the Flatbush lines. They stopped at ! o'clock. The companies apparently di : not care to invite trouble by operatio ; at night. The militia and the polic : advised against operating after dark ! President Lewis, when asked if car : would be run late, replied, that he gai j no reeson why he sbonld run cars a ? the public are afraid to ride in then j after dark. The stoppage of cars re j suited i.n a cessatiou of the petty dis ' turbances which prevailed throughou the day. J Maine's oldest fisherman, Uncle Tin j Dyer, died at Portland a few days agi j at the age of 92 years. He worked a : the nets almost up to the day of hi: i death, and less than a yeat ago cap 1 tured single-handed a halibut weighiuc I 332 pounds. New York turfmen who have ex? pressed an opinion on the subject^ think it a very extraordinary proceeding foi j Mr. Richard Croker to send his string ! of racing horses to England for the season. They estimate that tbeexpen ses of thc season will be not less than I ?140,000, and say Mr. Croker cannot ! make that much from purses and win ; nings in the betting ring. Nevertbe ! less, the ex-Tammany leader will make the season in England. Where he got \ the money with which to do such a thing is a questiou thc New York papers are asking. If cotton producers need an object 1 lesson to teach them that a small crop may be worth almost, if not quite as much, in round numbers as a big one, they have only to refer to the corn ; crops of 1889 and 1894. lu 1889 the crop was 2,112,892,000 bushels, and the aggregate farra value of it was ?597,918,0UO. Last year the crop was 1,212,770,000 bushels, and the aggre j gate farm value was ?554,719,000. j Thc crop of 1889 was 900,000,000 i bushels larger, yet itwas worth only ? $32,000,000 more than that, of 1893.
