BROOKLYN, Jan. 24.-—At least one life
has been sacrificed in the strike of the mo-
tormen and conductors of the trolley lines.
Henry Ahns, who, for disregarding a com-
mand to halt, was shot by the militia last
night, being the first victim, died at St.
Mary’s hospital, where he was taken. The
injured can be counted by scores, but for the
most part they have been kept under cover
and cared for by the strikers in order that
they may not be prosecuted by the police
for creating disturbances at different times
at various points.
This is the tenth day of the big strike,
and still the result hangs in the balance.
The railroad companies can operate their
lines, so far as the mechanical arrange— '
ments go, but up to the present time they
have secured only about 400 new men to
take the places of the strikers. It is cost-
ing them a large amount of money to do
this, and they have to pay the expenses of
the men to Brooklyn and (then’ofler enor-

mous sums of money to hold them here.
Then they suffer loss by the fact that the
motormen are coerced into leaving the
city, and'the conductors, after they have
collected a day’s car fare, are often pulled
from their cars and robbed of every cent
of the companies’ money which they have
collected; The men who came to Brooklyn
at the‘companies’ expense and are induced
by strikers not to go to work are lionized
and are made much of by the strikers.
They are fed and filled with whisky, and
when-they are full they join the ranks of
the: strikers and are really the most bois-
terous. Some, when they find out the true
' condition of affairs here, for the compa-
nies’ recruiting sergeants are not as honest
and explicit in their statements as they
might be, sometimes go to the offices of
the. railroad companies and demand their
expenses back to the cities whence they
came, and this is never denied them.
Some of the men have come on here from
places as far distant as Buffalo, Chicago
and Cincinnati.
Schieren May “rant More Troops.
Despite the assurances of Mayor Schieren
that the military force in Brooklyn is suf-
ficient to do all that is required of it, it is
believed that he has made a request that
additional troops be held in readiness for
an emergency. 'In some quarters it is
openly said that a formal request has been
made by the mayor, but it is generally
thought that he only made a suggestion
that they might be needed. Every part of
the city where the trolley cars run is pa-
trolled by tho militia. They are every:

A long procession
of diseases start from
a torpid liver and
impure blood. Take
it, as you ought,
when you feel the
first symptoms (lan-
guor, loss of appe—
tite, dullness,
depression) . ”j" " . -
and you’ll
self from
having something serious.
As an appetizing, restorative
tonic, to repel disease and
build up the needed flesh and
strength, there’s nothing to
equal it. It rouscs every or-
anflinto healthful action, puri-
es and enriches the blood,
braces up the whole system,
and restores health and vigor.
For every disease caused by
a disordered liver or impure
blood, it is the only guaranteed
remedy.
If it doesn’t benefit or cure,
in eveiy case, you have your
“Equal and Exact Justice to all Men of Whatever State or Persuasion, Religious or Politico .”--Jeforscn
bars at "five minutes' netlco ‘1: 'a serious
outbreak occurred. The police _are thus
enabled to attend to their proper duties.
The strike troubles have attracted to the
city a large number of snack thieves and
other crooks. Piokpockets are in the
crowds and ply their vocation with as-
siduity and marked success. Sneak thieves,
burglars and highwaymen conduct their
predatory expeditions without interference
from the police, and the citizens are arm-
ing themselves for self protection.
In every quarter of the city wires were
cut, and the stables and power houses of
the companies were subjected to a desul-
tory bombardment of stones. Few of the
malefactors were placed under arrest. If
all were punished, the city prisons could
not hold them.
On many of the lines the trolley line-
men have stopped work, but so far as can
be learned they have not been called out
as an organization. It is probable that the
electricians and expert mechanics em-
ployed by the companies may also refuse
to continue work. .
Bernard O’Connor of 238 Thirty-ninth
street was arrested for cutting trolley
wires at Third avenue and Fifty-sixth
street by Policeman Murray. George Me.
Vey of-1531 Gates avenue was gathered in
by Officer Bennett for pulling down wires
with a rope lasso at Gates avenue near
Hamburg avenue early this morning.
Companies Short of Men.
This morning the number of cars in
operation was about One-half of that of yes-
terday. The Fulton street and Flatbush
avenue lines had succeeded only in getting
one or two cars through to the bridge.
The reason was that wires had been cut
in the neighborhood of Flatbush avenue
and Fulton street and linemen' refused to
repair them. The companies are also short
of men.
The strikers are incensed at the fact
that the military will not allow them to
hang about the car stations and that sev-
eral of them have been pricked by bay-
onets. The men have decided to retaliate
and draw blood for blood. Pistols were
being bought in New York and other
places in such quantities as not to excite
suspicion. It is feared that if the men se-'
cure weapons the soldiers will have an
anxious time. The strikers are most an-
gry at the Seventh regiment for its prompt—
ness and severity in dealing with them.
Repair shop No. 2 of the Myrtle avenue
line has 30 electricians and 30 assistants
at work. The cut wires in East New
York and at Gates avenue have been re-
paired.
Red pepper is free]; used by the rioters,
and many of the police and soldiers are
suffering from sore eyes. The stuff, in
thin_ paper wrappings, is' hurled at the
soldiers, and if it breaks in their eyes or
on their foreheads, or even anywhere about
the head, the militiaman suffers excruciat-
ing pain for awhile. Fortunately most of
these missiles have missed their mark, but
the soldiers dread them more than bul-
lets. The dissatisfaction among the line~
men has caused the strikers to cut the
wires and ground them by means of the
elevated railroad posts. The wires are in
a worse condition today than they have
been yet during the strike.
There seems to be no means of detecting
the men in the act, and the only way the
electricians have of telling is when the
cars on the whole line become blocked and
cannot move until the break is repaired.
First Car on Myrtle Avenue.
The first car that has run over the
Myrtle avenue line since the strike began
ten days ago was started at 9 o’clock this
morning.
The railroad company has been hiring
new men for several days and had them
harbored in their quarters at Ridgewood.
At 8:30 this morning asquad of police
escorted 25 of the new employees from
their quarters across Magnolia street to
the car barns.
The strikers had been informed that
cars would be started this morning, and a
number of them assembled in the vicinity.
About 25 strikers stood in front of the
Cottage Hotel when the first lot of new
men were taken from their quarters to
the stables. As soon as the new employees
emerged into the street cries of “sea ”
rent the air.
Major Abrams at once ordered his men
to charge, and a general stampede fol-
lowed, the strikers fleeing in tall direc—
tions, closely pursued by the militia with
fixed bayonets. Most of them fled up
Wyckoff avenue, dodging into dwellings
and stores wherever an opening appeared.
At this juncture two men made their
appearance upon the trestle of the elevated
road directly overhead. They were in
front of the locom otivc, and their appear-
ance was suspicious.
“Come down off there!” yelled Major
Abrams.
“Oh, we’re all right,” came back the
answer from one of the men, while both
refused to stop.
“Come down, or I’ll shoot, ” cemmand~
ed the major again, more sternly. ,
The men gave utterance to something
the major could net understand, but re-
fused to budge. _
“I give you fair warning. Come down,
or I’ll shoot. ”
At the same time five of the major’s
men advanced with elevated muskets.
The command from the determined officer,
backed up by the action of his men, had
its effect, as the strangers fled back upon
the platform. '
Before starting the first car a detail of
militia was sent out on Myrtle avenue and
Wyckoff avenue, Magnolia and Palmetto
streets, to clear the streets. The Sixty.-
ninth battalion had been sent up from
Gates avenue and Ralph avenue and lined
Myrtle, avenue from Ridgewood down to
Broadway.
Cars Strongly Guarded.
At precisely 9 o’clock car No. 1700 was
started down Myrtle avenue, with two
policemen on each platform and a detach-
ment of soldiers on each ”side. This was
soon followed by car 1558, similarly
guarded. ‘
At 9:10 40 more new employees were
escorted from the railroad company’s of-
fice to the car stables by the police. No
demonstration was made, as the crowd
had been dispersed.
Ridgewood locality was comparatively
quiet last night. Several stones were
thrown through the windows of the car
barn where the militia is quartered. A
brick building is being built just across
the way, and the assailantsiw-ere evidently
concealed there. The soldiers raided the
money back.

'A nOi'se up‘On the tin rear '01" the' barn
caused Major Abrams to suspect that
some malicious persons. were up there,
and a. detail of soldiers was sent up, but
they found no one.
The morning, though bright, was raw
and chilly at the Alabama avenue depot
of the Fulton avenue and Broadway lines
at East New York. The sentries walked
their posts briskly to keep warm. When
day broke, there was for a time some evi-
dences -of renewed activity on the part of
the railway officials to continue running
cars, but it quickly subsided.
An inspection of the railroad showed
that during the night the wires on Broad-
way near Furman avenue, over both
tracks, had been torn down, out off and
thrown into the side streets. On Fulton
avenue, near Sackman, a similar act had
been committed, and as a number of the
linemen had struck it would be impossi-
ble to run cars, no matter how many
crews were on hand to man them.
Car Lines Greatly Hampered.
Two cars were made ready on [the Ful-
ton avenue line and went down as far as
Manhattan junction, but as they could go
no farther they were run back to the de-
pot and housed.
The Broadway line did not attempt to
put a car out, although everything was in
readiness to increase the number sent out
yesterday by several more today.
Captain Rhoads of the Seventh and Cap-
tain Wendel of the First battery were in-
specting the guards at daybreak. The
night they had just passed had not- been
an uneventful one. Skulkers attempted
to enter the rear of the carhouse of the
Broadway line (Brooklyn, Queens county

and suburban system, which extends back
to Bushwick avenue) through a window,
the lock of which had been broken, and
the approach of other individuals kept the
pickets alert;and interested in their work
all through the dark hours of the morn-
ing. An attempt to destroy the property
by fire is feared.
Guard mounting at 7 o’clock was an
informal ceremony. An additional file of
men was added to strengthen the post at
the corner of Fulton and Alabama ave-
nues, a few feet distant from the stairs of
the elevated railroad, but the absence-of
strikers or any crowd of sympathizers 'or
curiosity seekers caused a quiet day at this
section of the municipality now under
martial law.
Strikers Greatly Disappointed.
The expectations of the strikers that all
the linemen would go out this morning,
and thus prevent the repairing of the
wares that had been out during the ulgllb,
were far from realized. ~
Many of the men were under individual
contract to Work faithfully until next
April, and they respected their obligation.
Escorted by a squad of mounted men,
under Corporal Kerr, from Troop A, they
left Tompkins avenue at 8 o’clock and as
rapidly as possible went over the eight
miles or more of the Fulton avenue line,
repairing the wires and removing the ob-
structions placed upon the tracks. Large
beams and overturned wagons were not
the least troublesome to remove, but the
work was rapidly accomplished, and some
time before noon the first car of the day
had run over the wholeroute.
While engaged in escorting the con-
struction wagon and gang which was re-
moving obstructions from the track of the
Third avenue railroad line Lieutenant
Bagley of Troop A reports that his men
were jcered and finally stoned by a crowd
standing infront of and near the head-
Afflicted With Rheumatism. .
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn,
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving any
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For

quarters of the Pequo’d club, corner of
Fifty-first street and Third avenue. He
stood the jeers, but when the stones came
passive resistance Was no longer possible.
He therefore galloped forward with his
men and dispersed the crowd.
Altogether this afternoon the outlook
was much less favorable for the strikers.
Several of the lines are now running al-
most on schedule time and with less op-
position than has heretofore been mani-
festcd. Important developments are looked
for tomorrow.
No Sign of a Jersey City Strike.
JERSEY CITY, Jan. 24.-—The men em-
ployed on the trolley roads running be-
tween Jersey City and Newark were at
work as usual today, and there was no
outward sign of a strike. None of the
Brooklyn strikers was been in Jersey
City, although it was rumored that they
had come over from Brooklyn and were
making every effort to persuade the Jersey
City mento join the strike. The employ-
ees of the Consolidated Traction company
Were inclined to be‘reticent, but admitted
they would do all they could in a finan-
cial way to aid the! Brooklyn strikers.
The following sign, which was posted
by the executive committee of District
Assembly No. 75, K. of L., at the ferry
house leading to Cortlandt street, New
York, was received by some unknown
person last night:
“Notice to Conductors and Motormen:
“You are hereby ordered not to break in
any new hands on your road until the
strike in Brooklyn is over. This order
should be obeyed even if it is found neces-
sary to work overtime in order to live up
to it.
“By Order of District ssembly No. ’75. ”
Word had reached th Knights that new
men were being brok ‘ in, and they do-
cidcd to issue the ordef‘." '
General David Young of the Consoli-
dated Traction company was seen in the
offices of the company at noon. He said
new men are being broken in as usual.
and the Knights have made no objection
to breaking them in.
To Extend the Strike.
LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y., Jan. 24.—A
delegation of Brooklyn strikers of the
. trolley roads in that city, about 50 in all,
visited this city today to try to induce the
motormen and conductors on tho Stein-
way’trolley road to go on strike out of
sympathy for them. The men boarded
different cars of the company, and some of
them would talk to the motormen, while
the rest would talk to the conductors.
They tried everything possible to get the
employees of the Steinway road to go out,
.but were unsuccessful. The delegation
was told by the Steinway employees that
they were satisfied with the way they were
being treated and said they had no griev-
ances. They stated that Superintendent
William Chambers, who was formerly the
chief of police of Buffalo, is doing all he
can to make it pleasant for the men.
Before leaving, however, the Brooklyn
delegation secured a promise that the
Steinway employees would help them
financially. They then left for Greenpoint.
A Good \Vord For Tin Plate.
SWANSEA, Wales, Jan. 24.——At the an-
nual meeting of the Swansea chamber of
commerce today Sir J ohn, Jenkins, chair-
man of the Harbor Trust, said that the
serious condition of the tin plate trade,
with which they were threatened, was due
to severe competition from America,
where, he added, ultimately tin plate
would be manufactured more extensively.
Reducing Miners' Wages.
PITTSBURG, J an. 24.—The miners em-
ployed at the W. L. Scott mines have ac-
cepted a reduction to 55 cents per ton,
with the provision that the company store
is to be abolished. The men are to be paid
in cash semimonthly. Other operators in
the district are notifying, their miners of
reductions with a view to abandoning the
company stores.
No Pardon For Sanborn and Bailey.
BOSTON, Jan. 24. ——Governor Greenhalge,
after carefully ~considering the official
copy of the testimony which has been sub-
mitted at the hearings on the petition for
the pardon and release of Messrs. Sanborn
and Bailey, the Old Colony railroad om-
cials, has decided not to grant the petition.
Fugitive Planta Caught.
SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 24.—Joseph B.

Nanaimo who is charged with embezzle-
ment, was arrested in this city by Detect-
ive Hart. Planta says he will return
home without extradition papers. The
