Turk ennic into Eighteenth Sheet. It
was No. ???, manned by 13. J Smith nnd
I>nvld Scldman, both young men, who
gave New York ns their home. ? num?
ber of passengers were on board, bound
for church Hill. Tho cir cuccespfully
ran the g-nuntlet and cleared tlie crowd
nt Elghtoentli nnd Broad. At Twenly
nlntli Street nn open switch dclnycd the
progress of the car nnd a little shake-up
was experienced. Policemen Hakor, of
the First District, and Murray, nt tbe
Third, Were on tho car. A passenger,
whoso name could not be learned, wns
Fllghtly htift. He got off. ns did a lady
with ? small child, nnd tho car proceeded
nn tho way lo Its destination.
Eventful Trip.
On the return trip the enr wns closed
to passengers. The curtains on one side
were drawn nnd the finir.? were shut.
Officers Raker nnd Murray, Carmen
Smith ?nd Scldman, an unknown motor
man and two others wero nbonrd. The
two latter were supposed lo have been
guards of tho car.
At about Twenty-fourth Street the car
wns hulled by ? young nnn linmcd C. B.
Rcld, who got on the rear platform de
splto tho fact that the gates were shut.
In nil excited way he reported to Pollce
mnn Raker that Conductor Smith hnd
pointed ? pistol at him nnd threatened to
shoot. Then the officer told the Conduc?
tor to consider hlmsolf under nrrcst.
This action caused sonic excitement.
According (o tho story told by Police?
man Baker, one of the strongo men in
thn car interfered nnd told th? olflo.or
that ho was being paid to protect the
men on tho enr, and he did not proposo
to see nny one interioro with them.
Young Seidflnan was also arrested,
clmrged with Interfering with tho police?
man in tho discharge of his duty, nnd
Mr. Baker got between tho two men un?
der arrest and tho other man, whoso
nnmo ho could not learn. Bo reached
for bis revolver und called to tho motor
nan to stop tho car. But tho stranger,
whom Mr. Bnkcr termed "a Pinkerton
detective," rushed toward tho motor
man and told bini lo go ahead.
Excited Young Man. (
Thc car bowled down Broad Street to?
ward Eighteenth. As it noored tho big
crowd Iho young man, who was on the
rear platform, leaned out and (diout cd
to the crowd. Then ho wildly gesticu?
lated, and waved his arms In a manner
which Indicated that he wanted them
to come to him. His words could not
bo heard. ?=o loud was tho noise created
by tlio mob.
Aft the car sped around tho Eighteenth
Slreet curve, with Its network of wires
overhead, thc trolley jumped tbe wire,
swayed for a moment, struck a number
of cross wires, emitting seething little
flames, nnd then tho rope broke, causing
the trolley to twist and squirm in the
nlr.
Around tho corner, with the mob after
It with one great howl, went tlio car,
speeding ?long on its own momentum,
?with Imminent danger of golnff off
the track at. any moment. The orowM
1n front of tho car opened nnd allowed
the wild car to go on. Then it surged ill
again,
With the trolley dangling uselessly)
from the top of tho car. and with tho
young man still shouting and gesticu?
lating from tho rear platform, the argu?
ment between tho policemen anil the car?
men was going on Inside the car.
As tho great crowd broke through tlio
line of policemen and ran nfter the car,
.bv somo chanco tho wild trolley struck
tbe wire and tho current ngaln worked.
Then It was ? race between tho ear and
the crowd. Lilt" a frightened linre. the
ear ran into alitili Street, despite tho
protestation of Policeman Baker.
Cut the Trolley Rope.
Again did young Bold malto a frantic
effort io stop the car. Ho turned the
car brake, and caught, the disabled trol?
ley, rope again, and by a mighty effort
he threw the trolley from the wire, nnd
when between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Streets the car was stopped.
Policeman Eamklii, who was on iluty at
Fourteenth Street, ran to the sceno to
investigate iho trouble. Ho found Mr.
Baker lu a state of great excitement, and
far from cool. Together they look Smith
and heldman to the First Station, where
they were locked up, Smith on tho com?
plaint of Reid, that ho hod threatened
lo shool him, and hehlman on the charge
of Interfering with an officer .In the dis?
charge of his duly.
At the station house there was n. great
amount of heated conversation. Mr, Baker
could scarcely control himself, declaring
that had ho had the opportunity ho would
havo shot tho big unknown man. whom
lio termed a Pinkerton man. A crowd of
sympathizers with Reld pushed them?
selves Into the station, and Acting-Ser?
geant Werner, who was In charge at the
time, closc-d ?he station to all outsieicrs,
and plaeoii ?? guard at tho door.
"It was invilii ride," said Mr. Held.
"The ear ra?? hito, Main Street nt ? rate
of forty, nii?eis-i"'"fimir, nnd If ? had not
cut tho 'trolley .rope, wo could not have
Mopped it as Boon as we did."
Bold was recognized as a witness In the
case to nppear at tlio Police Court this
morning at 9 o'clock.
Others Arrested.
Tho names of the men who were ar?
rested early In the stage of tlio disorder

rocks.
Brido McGhee. by Policeman Robinson;
charged with disorderly conduct.

When Smith and I.eldinan were search?
ed Bt tho station house, after their ar?
rest, no pistol vas found, but Loldmnn
nnd several cartridges in his pocket. Both
mori denied having bad a pistol. They
said they had done nothing bul attempt
to properly run the car, and in doing so
had been courteous to all the passengers,
tn all tbe passengers,
"We ran tho car nil day," said Smith,
"and tlio policemen were on the cm? with

any one, which we did not do. the police?
man could havo seen us and heurd us.

Away oft into the West End, near tho

? most effective onslaught It proved for a
time. One of them was swept from end
to end with a storm of bricks, tho throw?
ers of which could not bo apprehended;
the mptorman on another took to his heels
nnd fled, with a pack of yelling pursuers
behind him. while tho car, unprotected,
stood on tho trnclc. Quiet was nt last
restored, but not before tremendous ex?
citement hud been created.
The First Car.
It was somewhere in tho neighborhood
of 7:15 o'clock when the troublo first be?
gan. Owing to the condition of things It
had been deckled to remove tho cars at
dark, and tho last throe or four were on
the truck, proceeding up town at a brisk
ritte, making for the barns nt the Reser?
voir. One car, tho second or the third
from tho lust, had reached Hnrvie and
Main Streets, in tho fur West End, when
directly up the street, two squares away,
wns soon a denso crowd ot people almost
blocking the wny. Several persons were
on tlio car, and at Plum ono or two of
them, anticipating trouble, alighted. From
this point of vantage they stood nnd wit?
nessed tho scene.
According to one of these gonUomen, :
thoro wore something like fifteen hundred :
persons, nil told, between ???? nnd Lorn
hardy .Streets. When the car pulled up ;
at Plum to lot tho passengers off a shower
of bricks, coming from both sides of tho
slrect, flow through It. Nobody wns hurt,
but tho situation wns becoming serious.
Tho police on tho enr leaped off and mndo
for tho crowd, trying lo apprehend any of
those who had flipig tho missiles, but tho
search wns In vain. The stones wero cer?
tainly thrown, but suddenly nobody knew
anything about It. Nothing, therefore,
couhl bo dono by th? officers.
Tho general scramble of tbo policemen
had put the crowd on its guard, but It
was eminently a. resourceful mob, and It
Immediately pursued tactics which check?
mated lhe officers. As Ihe car passed
on up Main Street a. yelling thousand
pursued It until It had passed over tho
city limits, and then the troublo begun
again in right good fashion. Tho pollco
wero now powerless no fur as rendering
assistance was concerned. More bricks
flew through tho air, and it was with
difficulty that the car made Us wny
along, which it eventually did, howover.
Throughout the disturbance women ap?
peared to bo the lenders, throwing bricks
nnd yelling with the. rest. Popping tor?
pedoes on the truck sounded like pistols
fired, and carried that Impression to the
minds of many.
Chased Him Off".
Rarely had this first ear escaped when
another, Ihe lust on tho track, or the
next to tho last, enmo along, and the
fury which had pursued the first was
transferred to this. Again tho crowd
yelled and threw stones. Just beyond
Lombardy Street the turmoil became
greater than ever. So thick was the
crowd hero and so threatening that the
niotornian look to bis heels. While he.
was being chased across the fields tho
car stood on Uio truck Unprotected, so
far as could be seen. Whether tho motor
man ever came back or not is a thing
which has not yet been ascertained.
Officials of the company were notified
of the conditions, and so far ns could
be learned list night succeeded hi get?
ting things straightened out once again.
The car Was taken on to the sheds and
put up. where It, witli all tho others,
stayed the remainder of tho night. As
no'' inoro were forthcoming tho crowd
gradually shrunk away In tho darkness,
and peace and quiet once more prevailed
In th" streets.

to keep tho streets clear, and did arrest
half a dozen persons who wero throwing
missiles or using Intemperate language.
The Chief of Police, Captain Shlnbergcr,
of the First Bistrlct, nnd all his available
men. reinforced by 3 detail from tho Se?
cond District worked manfully to dis?
perso tho crowd, and managed to protect
tho cars from violence.
Was No Shooting.
Tho other demonstration began between
Plum nnd Lombardi', within the city
limits, nnd was curbed thoro, but whs
later resumed beyond Lombardy nnd from
I/ombardy In direction of Park Street.
Hero a yelling, howling crowd ot several
hundred peoplo bad congregated nnd nt
tacked a car with such vehemence nnd
menace that the motornian was forced to
desrt his car and flee. The car was after?
words taken to the shed. A report gained
currency thnt tho motornian had boon
shot, but this report probably arose from
tho explosion of percussion caps on tbe
track. This West End demonstration was
even moro threatening than one at Eigh?
teenth and Broad. In the. ono down town
two conductors of cars were arrested,
ono on a charge of threatening to shoot a
man.
Tho company was Informed that It
would bo unwise to attempt to run cars
after dark hist night, for the reason that
adequate protection could not bo afforded.
For this reason tho cars were all run Into
tho barns at 7 P. M., or thereabouts, and
no further attempt made to operato a
night schedule on any line.
A Lady is Injured.
The company yesterday operated four?
teen cars on Main Street, and fifteen on
Broad, Eighteenth Main and Eighth
Streets, maintaining about tho usual
schedule. The operation of cars nlong
Broad Street from Twenty-llftli to tho
Reservoir was not attempted. The pa?
tronage accorded the cars that wero run
wns not largo, though many took advan?
tage of the opportunity to rench their
homes by this means during the day.
Policemen, one to a car, afforded protec?
tion against danger of violence, Soveral
cars were struck with missiles yesterday,
nnd on ono of these, between Seventh und
Eighth, on Main Street, a lady passen?
ger was struck with a holl?n thrown by
some person whose Identity was not nscer
taiiiod. She wns struck on tho hip and
painfully bruised. Near tho samo point a
piece, of brick was thrown at a car. but
missed Its aim. It is said to havo. boon
thrown from a roof or upper window.
Officers wero nt once sent to tho scone
and set to work to delect tho miscreants,
but so far without success. Gl'est indig?
nili ion has been expressed by the people
generally al these assaults, nnd tho first
person caught In the act Is liable to suf?
fer seriously.
Blockading the Track.
Beporls from Fulton last night gave
accHiunts of attempts by strike .sympathiz?
ers to blockade the track, not only by
plugging up tlio rails, but by placing ob?
structions thereon. In somo cases bricks,
wore used, and in others large .stones wero
placed on thc ralis, ostensibly by mls
guldeei sympathisers with the strikers,
who themselves discourage nnd denounce
such lawlessness. So far there has been
no complaint of any member of the strik?
ing ear men's organization, and on tho
O?lltr?!')' they aro conduci lug themselves
with becoming dignity and good demean?
or, nnd deprecate these unwise and law?
less net<* on the part nf sympathizers.

day by the ministers of tho town, in
which a number of them, representing
various d?nominations, Is seeking to
bring about a settlement of tho strike.
Tho ministers met yesterday nnd desig?
nated a committee,to draw up a pnper
lo bn submitted to an adjourned meet?
ing, to bo bold this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
If the paper drawn by the committee
bo adopted by tho meeting, It will thon
bo sent to tho Passenger und Power
Company nnd to iho organization ot
strikers, and by them discussed nnd
acted on as may eneni best. The plan
seems to bo to have tho committee which
arbitrated Iho differences between the
men nnd tho company last year say
whether or not Ilio agreement then cn
lered Into was or was not Intended and
designed or Understood to bo for a year
or for somo specific period. .Whether or
not this movement will result In .accom?
plishing anything Is ? matter of con?
jecture purely. The Impression seems
to bo Hint It Is now loo late lo attempt
to construe tho Intent and understand?
ing of tho arbiters last year. Tho move?
ment Indicates, however, that tho publlo
nro growing tired of existing conditions
and will demand n seulement of somo
kind very soon.
Situation is Serious.
It Is useless to disguise tho fact thnt
Iho situation has grown serious, chiefly
through tho assembling of largo crowds
nt certain points nnd tho advantage
which tho lawless take of such shields
from discovery and punishment of their
vlolatlnns of tho lnw. As long an tho
cars wero merely being operated along
Main Street tho police forco could pre?
vent tho congestion of crowds, but tho
(bin blue lino Is not strong enough to
domlnnto at the samo timo nil tho streets
over which cars run, as was evident
from tho Innbllity of tho ofTlccrs to dis?
perso the crowd nt Eighteenth and Broad
Streets yesterday.
Tho officials of tho company had no?
thing to say yesterday as to their plans
to-day. Thoy declaro that they havo men
to operato tho cars and that they are
ready to do so, If afforded police protec?
tion. There are now In the employ of tho
company about 250 men, tho majority of
them strike-breakers from Now York Rnd
Philadelphia, but according to an official
of tho company mado yostordny to a re?
porter, men are volunteering their ser
vlcos t? tbo company, somo coming from
other cities In tho Stato, nnd nearly .nil
experienced street railway employes. The
management of tho company, It Is under?
stood, are not finding difficulty In getting
men. but is said to bo their policy not to
employ any largo forco permanently.
With tho resumption of operations on all
lines Ihe company will us steadily nnd an
rapidly as possible extend tho service to
tho usual hours. Somo of Iho officers
or tho company aio hopoful that the
backbone of the'strike has been broken.
NO IDEA OF YIELDING.
The men. however, laugh nt these as?
sertions and declare that they are an
strong as when they f.rst went out, nnd
Hint thoy havo no idea of yielding the
struggle. Tho men aro receiving contri?
butions of money, orders nnd goods and
ano enthusiastic in their stand. Strict or?
ders are being issued to them at every
mooting to avoid participating In crowds
and to dlscourngo any lawlessness on the
part of any one.
Mr. Rezln Orr, of Detroit, returned Sun?
day evening from Brooklyn, whither ho
had been called on business connected
with tho general organization. Ho was
present at the meetings of ilio men yes?
terday, lie wns interviewed by a reporter
for The Times-Dispatch Inst night. When
asked as to the probability of a settle?
ment of the strike, he replied:
"I firmly bcllovo there will bo a settle?
ment."
"How long do you think tho strike will
last now?"
"That Is pretty hard to answer." After
a moment's deliberation, Mr. Orr said:
"I don't believe it will last nvir a woek
lotiRer.' Wo never yet have bad a strike
whom all tho men that came out stayed
out ns thoso men uro doing that wo did
not get a seulement."
"What do you mean by a settlement?
tomo nniicablo termination ot tho strike?"
"i'es."
End Not Sight.
That Is about ?ill the hope thnt. con bo
held out, certainly from the standpoint
of tho men, of a termination of the strike.
From the company no prophecies or pre?
dictions of any kind can be had. "Wo
will run tho cars" Is about tho substance
of the company's statements on tho sub?
ject of tho Ulrike. AVItli neither side in?
denting tho slightest sign of weakening,
the prospect of a termination Is not cheer?
ing.
SETTLE THE STRIKE
Ministers Meet this Afternoon to En?
deavor to Achieve this Result.
At least ono desporato effort will bo
mado by disinterested partios to bring to
nu end tho misery of the street cur strike,
which has already paralyzed business
throughout the city and caused untold
inconvenience to men and women In all
Walks of life, and which is now fast be?
coming tlio Incident for a reign of law?
lessness and disorder, with which the
present police forco, restricted In its size,
is unable to cope.
This afternoon thero will be held In iho
parlors or the Young Moil's Christian As?
sociation a meeting of a number of tho
representativo ministers Of iho gospel of
Blchmond, and Ibero will bo drawn up
a paper for submission lo both sidos,
which, It is fondly hoped, will open a wny,
hltherlo unsuggestod, for tho adjustment
xif tho differences now exasperating, the
public, In the main, this paper will ask
for tho appointment of a eommlttco of
arbitration to decide ns to tho status of
the former contract between tho company
nnd the men, about which so much Is
being said just now, Tho decision of this
committee would make tho way possible}
for further steps lending up eventually
to a settlement of tho strike. Such, ut
least, Is tho dream of the clly pastors.
Meeting Yesterday,
The meeting at which this plan was
hit upon wns held yesterday morning in
the parlors of tho Young Men's Christian
Association at tho instance of the strikers
themselves, who hoped by such ? gather?

are realizing thai their plight Is a serious
one.

iTMiii?, win follow lb? meeting. The
street ear men wanted the'pastors to'
endorse nn application for outright arbi?
tration ot the, pointa Inveilvod In tho con?
troversy, nnd this they declined to do,
behoving that it will bo useless. Instead
of this they suggest .arbitralIon on a dif?
ferent matter entirely, and here, It Is
feared, tho union will kick out.
The Plan Adopted.
The final outcome of tho meeting was
Ilio nppolntnicnt of ? committee com?
posed of Bov. Jr. Ashby Jones, Bev. W.
A. Cooper and Bov. John Hnnnon, D. ?3.,
to draw up a paper, io bo submitted to an
adjourned meeting of tho pastors present,
to bn held I Ills nfternoon .ni ? o'clock, nt
tho ?. M. ('. A. This paper, after Ils
ndopllon, will be sent to either sldn In tho
present controversy, the company nnd
tho men, and will approach the subject
of a settlement In ?in entirely different
way from anything yet suggested. It will
bo designed to open up a wny for ulti?
mato adjustment of tho whole Matter.
Tho communication from tho pastors
win ask for a committee of arbitration)
and tho function of 1hls eommlttco will
bo to arbitrato one point, and ono only?
Iho time limit set for tho expiration of
tho last contract between tho strikers
nnd tho company. If the committee de?
cide that tho.contrnct wns Intended to
extend for ono year, then the men aro to
pledge themselves to return to work;
If the eommlttco, on tho other hand, de?
cido in favor of the strikers, then the.
company Is lo give In. Such, so far nn
can bo gathered, Is the proposition to bo
mndo. Whether or not II will accom?
plish any results It Is difficult to say, but
nt least somo of tho pastors nro senreely
hopeful about It. Tho nttlludo of Mr.
Grlggfl nnd Mr. Orr yesterday was Judged
sufficient by many to Indicalo that Iho
men will not nccept the proposed plan.
Wouldn't Act ns Body.
The denominational meetings of the pas?
tors yesterday took no action whatsoever
In reference to iho strike. Consideratilo
of ?? ellscnsslon developed over tho propo?
sition,. when It enmo up boforo tho Bap?
tist ministers, on a movement to havo
the body tnko some notion. Various and
sundry expressions w?ro made, finally
concluding with the flat refusal of tho
conference to take any net Inn as a body,
or even to senti ? committee to a genomi
meeting of tho city pastors. It was held
tint such members as decided to do so
might nttend ns Individuals, which plan
a number of them adopted. An equally
largo number, however, did not attend
the meeting at all.
MEETING OF STRIKERS
Two Sessions Held on Yesterday?The
Parade Sunday.
While no official statement of the com?
pany's plans or Intentions can bo had.
thero is every reason to anticipato that
efforte will be mnde by tho company to
operate cars on all lines In this city,
provided of course that there Is any as?
surance of protection against attack. It
Is not anticipated that the running of
cars on branch <?r suburbau Unes will be
undertaken yet.

were made and a number of contribu?
tions reported. At the night meeting
about four hundred persons wore present.

lessness anel any participation In crowds
and demonstrations ?gainst tho non-union
laborers on tho cars. Tho men wero
counseled to diHcoiu'ago disorder.
Mr. Mullen outlined the pinna having

that the union would ma ho regular con?
tributions to tho strikers.
Not a man was reported as rioscrHng

a snug sum In their own treasury.
'i'ho demonstration by tho strikers and
their sympathizers on Sunday afternoon
wus largely attended. Pursuant to or?
ders representativos of tho various un?

dent W. J. Griggs. of tho division. After
that tho men dispersed and spenl the

As Dr. Palmer and the hospital steward
were making tho morning rounds
Kuykendnll complained of being 111 and
Iho doctor prepared to make am examina?
tion. Tho prlsonor drew a bottle supposed
to contain nltro-glycorlne and ordered the
two men to throw up their hands. They
did so. Kuykendnll und fVvo othor con?
vlcts th*n overpowered Cell House?
keeper Clcghorn and Steward John Keefo.
The four prison officials thus maele pris?
oners were stripped of their clothing;
which the convicts put on.
