New Orleans. Sept. 30.?Nearly the
entire police fcuee of New Orle As was
concentrated this morning at the Arabella
barn of the New Orleans Street
Railways company with the expectation
that there would be trouble
when the company attempted to rua
its cars on this, the third day of too
strike of its employes.
This precaution was taken because
most of the company's cars are kept
in this barn and are dispatched from
there on their different routes.
it was ascertained, "however, that the
power connecting all but one of the cireuits
in this barn with the outsido
lines had been cut off. The railway
people believe the supply wire was cut
Sunday.
The cutting of the powor will not
prevent the running of cars in tho

but if any cars?mail or passenger?
