terday Mornlns Several
Serious Outbreaks.
THE POLICEMEN FARE BADLY
At the Hands of the Rioters.
Many Arrests Have
Been Made
OBSTRUCTIONS TO TRAFFIC.
Kirc Built in the Middle of Street
Car Track Company Has
Nothing to Arbitrate.
CLEVELAND, 0., July 2J.?The riotinir
which rnntlnupfl throughout lant
night was renewed to-day and there
were several serious outbreaks of violence,
but no clashes between the mobs
and troops. Cars were started running
as usual this morning In all but one or
two lines. The mobs were astir early.
Soon after 10 o'clock a thousand or
more persons gathered on Burton street
on the south side and proceeded to obstruct
the track. When a car came
along with two policemen on board It
was attacked with a shower of stones.
In spite of the policemen the non-union
motorman and conductor were roughly
handled. One of them, named McDermott,
had two ribs broken and the
other was badly bruised. One of the
policemen fired at the mob. the bullet
striking a man named Wennlck. The
mob assaulted the officers, both of
whom were struck repeatedly with
stones and but for the intervention of a
priest of the Catholic church near at
hand, the officers might have been
lynched. By this time three cars had
been mixed up In the melee and a patrol
wagon load of police arriving, the
rioters dispersed and the cars were
tuken back to the barns.
A'Mob of 8,000.
Thorn tvn? a Kurioua disturbance on
the Broadway lint* at the corner of Petrle
street, where a mob of 3,000 assembled
In the forenoon, and obstructed the
track. Finally a car came along from
the Wilson avenue barns, having on
board Sergeant Burrows and a private
of militia and Detective Kelso. The
officer ordered the mob to disperse
I when the motorman attempted to remove
the obstruction from the track,
but the rioters showed tight. .Then
' Setgeant Burrows and the one soldier,
I with flxed bayonets, faced the mob and
attempted to clear the way. There was
a sharp flght for a few minutes, during
I which a perfect shower of stones fell
about the detectlvs and the soldier,
| smashing the car window*. No one was
seriously hurt and after arresting two
| of the rioters and placing them on the
car, It was returned to the barns. The
police afterward charged the mob,making
several arrests.
The military on guard at the Holmde*i
avenue barns on the south side,
were annoyed during the greater part
of the day by a Jeerlnjt mob and fifteen
arrests were made there with the assistance
of the police.
Novel Obstruction.
In the afternocn a mob of 1,000 con
j cclved the Idea or oiocxing me iwn w..
Orange street by placing a big boulder
In the middle of the street and building
a Are around It. The plan worked successfully
and cars wero delayed for
nearly an hour when the police drove
the mob away, put out the fire and gave
the street railway men a chance to
move the stone. Three men were sent
to the hospital with wounds mnde by
pollcemcn's clubs at the end of this
riot. I
As a result of the shooting of the
driver of a grocery wagon In South
Brooklyn yesterday afternoon by a
non-union conductor, the mayor of that
village to-day Issued un order to the
marshal to arrest all non-union conductors
who carried roncenled weapons.
Every car wus stopped and each conductor
found with a revolver was arrested.
All were subsequently balled
out by the company.
A small riot was started at the corner
of Pearl street and Franklin avenue
when a young woman struck a man
who asked her to board a non-union
car. A crowd of union sympathisers
stoned cars and a squad of police finally
cleared the street.
' The company to-day sent a noto to
the state board of urbltrution declining
to arbitrate the differences, in which It
says:
"This company fully appreciates the
sincerity of your desire to bring about
a readjustment with Its former employes,
begs to say that the men who
went out on Monday last are not In the
employ of tho company and there Is
nothing to negotiate about or to arbitrate."
In the vicinity of the llolmden avenue
barns to-night there was continuous
rioting for three or four hours.
Every car that pasnod was attacked
with stones and several pistol shots
were fired at them.
There was a lively fusillade at one
flme, the non-union crews returning the
fire. The only porson hurt was a
woman who was shot in the finger as
she stood In her doorway. The police
made twenty-five arrests In that neighborhood.
Rioting continued all along Broad way
to-night and It took three tquads of
police as many hours to escort three
cars a distance of four miles to the
boms. Fifteen or twenty of ths rioters
vers taken Into custody.
DYNAMITE USED.
Cleveland Street Car Wrecked and
Pour Persona Badly Injured bjr the
Uso of tho Explosive.
CLEVELAND,July 23.-A Euclid avenue
cor, loaded with passengers, was
wrecked by an- explosion of nitroglycerine
or gun cotton, ahortly before
U o'clock to-night Four persona were
badly hurt, the names of the Injured
being Albert E. Fussett, F. A. Smith,
Mrs. Harris and Mrs. K C.'Martin.
The explosion tore out the front end
of the. car, smashed all the windows
and destroyed the brake. After conslderable
difficulty the car ,waa atopped
and a call for ambulances waa sent out
The motorman, William Dreggers. who
came from Cincinnati, was dazed by
the shock, but the conductor, Frank
Schroeder, of 8t. Loula, escaped Injury.
The force of the explosion" was so
great that It shook all the houses In the
neighborhood and was heard for a distance
of two or three miles. There Is
no clue to the Identity of the persons
who placed the explosive on the track.
Persons living in the neighborhood
say they saw a man In a buggy stop at
the corner of Kensington street, where
the .explosion occurred, and get out by
the railway track. He remained there a
short time and then drove rapidly
away.
Within a few mjnutes after the explosion,
a crowd of a thousand people
ftssemDiea, ana the injured, wno were
suffering from shock, were cared for
until the ambulances arrived. None of
them was dangerously injured, their
hurts being confined to bruises about
the feet and legs. Mrs. Martin fainted
before she was taken from the car. All
were taken to their homes in ambulances.
The motor-man on the car managed
to get out of the vestibule of the
car and then fell to the street, but he
quickly recovered and helped to extricate
the passengers from the wreck.
Passengers who were on the car say
the explosion seemed to lift the whole
front of the car, and It ripped up the
lloor for more than half the distance
from the front end. The car was In
fact a complete wreck, but strange to
say It did not leave the rails and was
taken to the barns by the next outward
bound car.
The police were quickly summoned to
the scenc of the explosion and a force
of men was detailed to investigate with
?i vlow rnnnlne down the nerson who
.placed the exploitive on the track. A 1
boy living near the corner say the mys- ,
terious man In the buggy. He said he
noticed the buggy drive up and atop
and saw the man get out. He fumbled
about the rails for a minute or two and
then Jumped Into the buggy and drove
away at a gallop.
There iteemsi to be no doubt now that
Mayor Farley will call out the three or
four available military companies in
this city in addition to those-already
under arms. The call will include the
battery of artillery and the governor
may be requested to send other troops
to the city.
Those injured in the explosion were:
Mrs. E. C. Martin, 79 Analson street,
compound fracture of the skull, right
arm broken and Internal injuries which ,
may prove fatal.
E. C. Martin, right leg badly cut and
bruised about legs and body
Mrs. Catherine Harris, 25 Cornell '
street, suffering from nervous prostra* 1
tlon. 1
F. A. Smith. <
Albert E. Fassett, 12 Wallace Place, 1
legs injured. '
Dora Schessler, 11 Oakdale street,
bruised about the body. '
Late to-night It was learned that Mrs. 1
Martin, one of the Injured, would prob- '
ably die. She suffered a compound j
fracture of the skull, hod one arm j
broken and was otherwise Injured. She j
was with her husband, who was also j
badly hurt.
The police are now out searching for J
the buggy In which the dynamiter Is j
supposed to have ridden and all sta- i
tions have been notified to be on the ?
lookout for It. '
i
BROOKLYN STRIKE. ;
i
Said to bo Practically Dead?Strike 1
Leaders Claim, However, That All 1
Lines will be Tied Up To-morrow or J
Next Day. j
NEW YORK, July 23.-The fact that J
cars were run on all lirooklyn lines un- ,
der headway to-day shows that the i
strike Is practically dead. To the seaside
resorts traffic was more general J
thun It was last Sunday, but the public
did not take advantage of the lmprov- 4
ing service, probably owing to the fear t
of possible disturbances which have so j
far marked the aftermath of the strike.
Strike leaders admit that the Brooklyn
llapid Translc Company ran more I
cars to the seaside resorts to-day than
on any day since the strike was de- i
clared. President Rosslter was Jubl- l
lant on Saturday before leaving for i
Cold Spring, and reiterated the state- J
ment that the strike practically was ,
over. He said: "The strike ha* occa- i
stoned considerable trouble, of course, t
and has been very expensive to our j
company, but I am glad to say that ,
nearly all the lines were able to run to- 1
day on regular schedulo time. The j
strikers have prided themselves on the ,
fact that they had been able to tie up i
traffic to Coney Island, but they cannot
boast of that now, for to-morrow we ^
will be able to carry all passengers who
want to go to the Island or other resorts }
near the sea. I am sorry for the n*n j
who were led astray by professional (
agitators. I am still willing to tako ,
bark the men who left their positions i
on the Brooklyn Heights line, but I am J
determined that none of the Nassau j
lino men will bo reinstated as motormen
or conductors."
In strike headquarters, Grenada hall, t
tho men of the Nassau line assembled
to-day. General Master Workman
John Parsons did not appear, but DIs- *
trlct Master Workman Pines was busy J
trying to encourage tho strikers. Ho j
told them that even If the etnko should ^
be unsuccessful, they still would have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
tad rebelled against the evil system of
lours and wages Introduced and maintained
by Rosslter. Mr. Pines added
that If a certain section of the press
ind the corporations fancied that the
itrlke would be over In a day or tw^
they would soon discover that they
vere badly mistaken. He also said that
by Tuesday or Wednesday all of the 1
lnes of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company would be tied up as tight as a
lrutn.
New York Situation.
NEW YORK, July 2$.-In New York, |
accept for the presence of several hunlred
policemen on Second avenue and
ruards about the various power houses,
i strike would be out of consideration. j
rhere has been no delay In the trolley
>ar service In Manhattan to-day on any
lne with the exception of the Second
ivenue line and that la affected but little.
It Is stated by the police officials that 1
to-morrow or Tuesday at the farthest, 1
nost of the police who have been guard- 1
ng the property of the railroad com- J
>anles will be withdrawn.
CLOTHING WORKERS; STRIKE.
twenty-five Thousand May bo Involved
Within Two Week*.
NEW YORK, July 23.-About 2,500
slothing workers In three branches of
that industry struck to-day, and a
nember of the executive committee of
tailors' progressive union No. 11, said
to-night that 14,000 will be out within
twenty-four hours. Twenty-live thou?and
may be on strike within two
reeks.
One thousand members of tailors'
progressive union 'No. 11, in sixty-two
ihops, struck for 25 per cent Increase in
wages. They have been earning $8 a
veek and' they want $10.
Six hundred coat pressors went on
itrlke In the afternoon. Seven hundred
nore will go on strike to-morrow. They
Have been getting seven cents apiece
'or coats and want two cents more. The
pressers press on an average of twenty
:oats per day.
Eight hundred basters held a meeting
to-day and about three hundred men
went out on strike. The basters have
been working fourteen and sixteen
lours a day. They want the work day
ihortened to ten hours.
Twelve thousand men connected with .
the United Brotherhood of Cloakmak- 1
srs will hold 600 shop meetings within
'.he next two week* for the purpose of formulating
new wage lists. It Is bellev- ,
ed that It will be necessary to order
strikes to enforce the new schedule.
Garment Pressors' Strike. I
NEW YORK. July SS.-Slx hundred ]
jressers employed In the garment trade (
struck work to-day and organized a (
anion. They claim their number will ,
be doubled to-morrow and that 7,000
more garment workers will strike for '
higher wages. The piece workers demand
an Increase of about 20 per cent, j
while the week workers want an Increase
of 15 per cent.- An interesting
point of the strike is the demand of the '
men that they work flfty-nine hours a <
week instead of fifty as at present, j
rhey say they want to work up to the
limit of the ten hour law, as they can
make more money In this way. 1

Mrs. Ingeraoll and her daughters, Mrs. '
Brown and Miss Maude Ingersoll are
still too much overcome with sorrow to
consider the matter.
'They cannot tear themselves from
the beloved dead/' said Mr. Farrell today.
"They have not left the chamber
since he passed away, except to go into
an adjoining room when visitors who
wished to see him, called. They cannot
reconcile themselves to the Idea that,
they must part wfth him, and all allusions
to the removal of the body only
cause distressing outbursts of grief. Xt .
may be a few days before they are calm
enough to discuss the steps, that necessarily
soon must be taken for the removal
of body."
Mr. FarnSll expressed the conviction
that the body will be cremated. If it Is
not it will be burled in Sleepy Hollow j
cemetery, at Tarry town, where Washington
Irving rests. If any funeral exercises
are held it is expected that John
Clark Rldpath will deliver the eulogy.
At the request of the family, George
Grey Barnard, the sculptor, who was
a warm personal friend of the colonel,
will visit the house to-morrow and
make a death mask.
