Strikers On Top

Beooklyn, .Jan. Si.- ïhere were but few evidences of tlie turbulent scènes of the night before when the Sunday sun rose over Bast New York and scarcely a gign of llfe was observed save in the vicinity of the stables of the Faltón avenne and Broadway Unes. The turbulence of the night before, barring the incendiarism, was really worse tlian that at Chicago last summer in the fact that the mobs did not run immcdiately on being charged by the troops; nor did thoy only run when they started. They bombarded the troops with stones and bricks; they took up positions iu houses and thrcw missilee from there, and also utilized the elevated railway stracture for tho same purpose. A N umi. ii of People Wounded. Besides this household utensils and hot water were thrown on the troops from the houses lining the way, and generally tho spirit of the inob was fleroer thnn at Chicago. The result was that quiteanumber were wounded, inany of whom were carried away by triends, and one soldier was badly hurt by being hit on the head with a brick. He will recover. Many of the rioters were bayonetted, but as far as fieard from none killed or mortally wounded, and not a shot was flred by the militia. That was the situation Saturday, but during it all the cars were running when they could, although many of them wers derailed and wrecked. No Improveinent in the Mtiiation. tuis state otattairs obtamed uiitil ü a. m., the wholo day being one of cliargos by the troops to scatter a mob that would reform almost immediately at some other point. Yesterday morniug there was no improvement in the gituation. Every effort to settlc the strike had been without satisfactory result. The strikers through their executive committee had given up every demand exuept one brought about by the strike itself - tbat the men omployed to take strikers' places should be discharged r.nd all the strikers taken back. This the companies flnnly re fuscd to do. They said they were in honor bound to reta'ui theso men. , Sundar a Day of Turbulence. Yesterday was a day of turbulence. There was no "Sunday rest" in the City of Chorchas. So pcrtentous of trouble did niatters appear in the morning that Mayor Schieren issued a proclamation in the name of the state of New York requiring all persons in Brooklyn to keep off the streets as far as pos.sible, not to assemble in crowds and generally to "move on," announcing that the pólice and military would disperse unlawf ui assembliea. The insult was that streets were blockaded against pedestralns and any one who stopped to argue the point was told to walk aronnd the block while a glistening bayonet was held within two inches of hi8 face. Thousands of morbidly curious citizens tlocked to the scènes of the riots and helped to swell the crowds that gathered to do inischief. Blood Flows Freely, but No Oue Killed. The various mobs that gathered at the car stables and along the tracks of the tied up lines contained at least 30,000 people. Many cars went astray. The switches were broken and obstacles were heaped on the tracks; wires were cut at various points and on the whole the day was full of petty an noy anees for the railroad companies. Motormen abandoned their cars at various points and in some instances lef t t!ie city as soon as they possibly could so serious did the situation seem. Blood was spilleil in quantitios, but no ono was seriously hart.
