Chicago, Oct. 22.- At 10:30 o'clock Saturday nigbt as a Wells Street cable car, under the charge of Gripman Thomas Ford, one of the new men, was turning the corner of Dearborn and Monroe slreets, some one on the sidewalit shouted "scab." The streets were crowded with people returning from the big political meeting at Battery D, and the shout served as a rallying cry. The Street near the corner had been torn up f r repairs, and the paving stones furnished am munition for the onslaught which was at once begun. Every window in the car was broken, and the driver was struck repeatedly before the patrol wagons arriveJ, and cleared tbo streets. Four arrests were made, but the erowd followed the car clear into the LaSall 8 street tunnel, pelting it all the way. Ford was severely, but not dangerously hurt by the lusillade.
