beginning to lose hope. but the light has
not yet been given up. They have resort
ed to two ornaments-the courts and wire
cutting The latter is doing more to hurt
the street car corporations than “the for«
mer. Beyond this there has been little
violence. and it is expected that the New
York troops will leave soon.
The peace of the city is not fully restor-
ed. and it will not be so long as the late
employees of the traction companies have
hope of forcing themselves back into the
positions they held 12 days ago.
To these men there wasa ray of light in
the decision handed down by Justice Gay-
nor of the supreme court of Queens noun-
ty in the matter of the application of Jo—

mandamus to compel the Brooklyn
Heights Railway company to operate its
lines in a manner to meet the rmulre-
ments of the public.
In the opinion of Justice Gaynor the
corporation is held to be in default of its
obligations to the public incurred by the
wecptance of a franchise for a specific
purpose. It is placed under the imputer
tlcn of having more regard for the profits
of shareholders than for the convenience
of citizens. and it is declared to be the
company‘s duty to man its cars at what
ever expense may be necessary.
At ii) o'clock today the murt gavsa

whether the writ shall be peremptory or
alternative, or. in other words. whether
the company shall be required to engages

hours of labor. or whether it shall be di»
rooted to do the host it can under the cir-

Regarding their visit Andrew Beet said:
They came to offer no substantial assist-
ance, and they are not alone in their
'oifers. Are we about to surrender? Ab-
surd! ’ It may be that the companies will
surrender. but we have no such intention.
We are in the me to win. ”
This announcement was not at all in
keeping with the expreeslonl of strikers
who meet in the saloon down stairs to ex.
change confldencos. One of them said re
garding the matter: "I sincerely hope we
shall win. bctl doubt it. The corpora-
tions have too much money and 7,000 sol-
diers to lock them. But, though we lose
this time, our turn will come so sure
there is a God in heaven. "
The other men agreed with the speaker.
and thus the wave of despondoncy spreads
amain.
Matters ware comparatively quiet on
the Third and Fifth Avenue roads in
South Brooklyn. The wires between Sir

as a consequence the electric lights in the

The mob continued increasing until

i Phllo ll. Backus. the bank examiner,
had been in the city but one day when he
discovered that something was wrong at
the Chcnaugo Valley book. He entered
the bank on Wednesday morning and at
noon had discovered sufficient evidence to

a correct trial balnnce had never been
taken in that bank. and that the cash rc-
fused to balance aimed: invariably. In
spite of the fact that the number of the
bank's depositors bud increased daily, the
amount on deposit had declined, showing
that something was wrong.
Mr. Backus told a reporter that he had
noldea how much had been taken. and
that he would not be able to tell until he
had posted up the hooks, called in 7.000
passhooks. and. as be expressed it. "dis-
