MORE LINES IN OPERATION. Strikers Are Still Hopeful, However—Dy— namite Found For the First Time. Judge Gaynor Reserves Deci- Sion In the htandumus Case. BROOKLYN, Jan. 26.-—-The big trolley strike is nearly over. Another day may see the strikers declare themselves beaten andreturning to work as individuals, as the railroad companies say they~may, and not through the treaties of the executive committee. Trolley cars are running on nearly all the lines. They do not keep schedule time, but the great tieup has been broken, and Brooklynites can get wherev- er they want to by the cars. The situation has become so serene that the Ninth regiment has been ordered home, and there is every likelihood that within a day the Seventh, in command of Colonel Appleton. may be ordered back to New York. The soldiers will be glad to be re- lieved from duty. They have spent a very trying week in the usually hospitable City of Churches. Their hours of duty have been long and tedious, and many of them will carry for weeks mementos of their visit to Brooklyn in the shape of sore limbs and bruises. It is believed that the violence is over. The strikers have come to realize that they will get the worst Of it, and the militia has demonstrated that they will not be trifled with. ‘ Two men have been killed, and hun- dreds of others who have not been report ed doubtless carry wounds which show that they have been more valiant than discreet. It is probable that there may be sporadic outbreaks and some encoun- ters in the Red Hook district and along the crosstown routes, but there is a feel- ing that the difficulties remaining are fo- cused at these points, and that tomorrow may thus bring relief for the troops. Wire Cutters at IVork. Since midnight the ’only trouble caused by the strikers was the cutting of .wires, which happened in many sections. This did not desperately affect the running of cars, as the companies have been able to replace many linemen who have gone out on strike. The Brooklyn Heights Railroad compa- ny ventured to run its crosstown line of cars to the end of its line at Erie basin today. ' The authorities have sent a large mili- tary force of regular and’special policemen to keep peace. The military have been ordered not to shoot without good cause, but to be firm in their treatment of mobs, and when they do shoot do so in earnest. Police Commissioner Welles has made an investigation into the case of Thomas Carney, who was shot on the roof of 444 Hicks street on Wednesday afternoon and died in the Long Island College hospital. He refuses t make public the nature of the report, b t it is believed in police cir- cles that he has arrived at a conclusion that the killing was unwarranted. At strikers’ headquarters it was said this morning that the unusual quietness of the strikers is on account of Justice Gaynor’s mandamus opinion. They be- lieve that if wires were cut or any opposi- tion was made to the running of cars the mandamus would be rendered inoperative. This they wish to avoid. All the nonunion men who were held by the military in or- der that they might not join the ranks of the strikers have been released. Clearing the “’ires to Red Hook. Troop A escorted two wagon loads of linemen along the route of the crosstown line between city hall and Red Hook early this morning. They found the wires in a deplorable condition. The wires had been cut and were lying about the streets, and on Columbia street tin cans had been strung together and thrown over the wires. In olaces the feed wire had been severed SHE ON’T WANT TO TELL -—what made her beautiful. Yet it’s only what other women know. Wealth of beauty comes only with a healthy body. Health is a set of good habits. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription assists nature in estab- lishing these habits. Women have sallow faces, dulleyes and hollow checks, together with low spirits, when they are made miserable with disorders, dcrangements and weak- nesses peculiar to their sex. Health is regained, after periods of dizziness, nervous prostration and excitability, or other manifestations of derange- ment or displacement of the wo- manly organs, when the “Prescrip- tion” is used. Besides, it’s sold on its merits. The proprietors take the risk. . It is guaranteed to benefit or cure all the disorders, diseases, and weak- nesses of women, or money re re- funded. ' . . What offer could be more fair! r - .r ...... ... ... 1035 ’The linemen, surrounded by guards of soldiers, cleared away the encumbrances, but left nobody to protect the wires. The strikers were right behind them, and as fast as the linemen made their repairs the wires were cut and the cans were flung over them again. The linemen did their work over again, but took the precaution to leave pickets behind to see that the wires were not disturbed again. A mass meeting of citizens was held at Tivoli hall, on Eighth street, near Third avenue, “to protest against the speed of the trolley cars and inability of the com- panies to run sufficient cars to accommo« date the public. ” In addition to the extensive wire cut- ting on Columbia street, the wires were cut on the Flushing avenue line, the Ful- ton street wires were cut at Manhattan crossing. the Myrtle avenue lines were cut in the eastern district, wires were re- ported down at North Twelfth street and Bedford avenue and at South Ferry on the branch of the Fifth avenue line that runs there. ‘ In Eastern Brooklyn. The condition of affairs in the eastern district of Brooklyn shows a restored order of things. The fact that one of the senti- nels was struck in the face by a missile and the wires were cut on Myrtle avenue between Central and Ridgcwood shows a spirit of lawlessness still pending. But while the militia remains it is not likely that in the eastern districts important acts of violence will be committed by the strik- ers or their sympathizers. The men express themselves as deter- mined as ever to hold out, but feel they can do nothing to strengthen themselves while the power of the state is exercised against them. If no agreement is made before the troops are removed, there will, in the opinion of many, be more trouble than existed at any time yet. The men are now endeavoring to induce the people not to ride in the trolley cars until the strikers are returned to duty. Where per- suasion will not have any effect they threaten the boycott, and much bitter feel- ings in some localities has already arisen from this cause, and especially where a credit had been extended by the threaten- ed parties. The signal service at Halsey station was rendered powerless by an accident to the searchlights, but it is expected that in— teresting experiments in signaling will be made, the Seventy-first regiment ar- mory, at Park avenue and Thirty-fourth street, New York city, the headquarters of the First brigade, being the other sig- nal station. All the lines so far opened in the eastern section of the city were running cars free- ly today, though under longer headway than usual. The remaining branches are expected to be opened at once. The Situation at Ridgewood. There was no disturbance at Ridgewood (luring the early nours. Late last night six men were added to the men already en- gaged to take the places of strikers, and they were housed in the carhouses of the Bushwick company. The militia occupied the stables of the Gates and Myrtle ave- nue lines. Shortly before 8 o’clock this morning cars were run out of the Gates avenue depot. When an attempt was made to start the cars on the Myrtle avenue line, it was found that the wires had been cut. Company F of the Seventh regiment, transferred from the Halsey street stables last night, did duty on Myrtle avenue from Ridgewood today. Captain Rand was in command Of the company. New Men Attacked. It has been the custom for the new con- ductors and motormen wholive in the city to return to their homes after the cars stop running at night. They usually de- part from the depots in pairs and have en- countered little or no trouble thus far in getting outside the lines without being attacked by the strikers or their friends. Last night, however, was an exception. Two Of the men had gone but a short distance from the Ridgewood barn when they were surrounded by a dozen or more strikers, who began to beat them. The victims called for assistance and were heard by the militia, who were in their quarters, having been withdrawn from picket duty. Half a dozen soldiers went out. and, charging the rioters. rescued the assaulted men. The assailants were driv- en outside the picket lines on a double quick. and the nonunion men were escort- ed back to the barn, where they spent the night. The different lines had the follow- ing cars running today: Cars Comple- running. ment.

A Dynamite Cartridge Found. What is supposed to be a dynamite car- tridge was picked up this morning by a man who brought it to the First precinct station house. The man, whose name could not be learned, said he found it at the corner of Flatbush avenue and Fulton street, one of the busiest sections of the city, and where several car lines pass. The object was found on the car track. It is covered with a coating of tar, has a fuse at one end and is about 5 inches long. The police of the First precinct imme- diately brought it to Police Superintend- ent Campbell, who decided to send.it to the navy yard, where an examination will be made. Special Officer Tammany of the Fifth precinct arrested J ohn.Storey, aged 27, of 349 Marcy avenue, Storey was found try- ing to force an entrance into the building 37 Grand avenue: Upon being searched three dynamite cartridges 8 inches long were found on‘v—Storey’s persgn.

Officers Frank Connolly and Ernest Wright of the Seventh precinct, while try- ing to disperse a crowd at Manhattan av- enue and Java street shortly after noon, were struck by stones thrown by the riot- nrs and severely injured. On Hicks street the soldiers on picket duty wore pelted from the roofs and win- dows, and the police of the Fifteenth pre- cinct quelled the disturbance without any shots being fired. William McDonald, a discharged motor- man, 29 years of age, of 89 Troy avenue, was arrested this morning by‘Policeman Downey of the Twelfth precinct on com- plaint of Adam Hughes, 9. motorman on car No. 1220 of the Sumner avenue line, and Charles Frank, also a motormen on car 1242 of the same line. Both men charge McDonald with throwing missiles at their cars. McDonald, who was standing on Sumner avenue between Troy avenue and Bergen street with a crowd of people, was seen to pick up several large stones and throw them at the complainants. The prisoner was locked up in the Twelfth precinct station house. Judge Gaynor heard the mandamus ar- guments to compel the roads to operate their cars and announced that he would not be able to render his decision until tomorrow. As It Looks to British Eyes. LONDON. Jan. 26.-——The Post, in an edi- torial, expresses surprise that popular sympathy should be extended to the strik- ing railroad men in Brooklyn, and also says it is surprised at the action taken by the board of alderman to compel intending employees to be residents of the city for a certain specified time before they would be permitted to act as motormen. The pa- per declares that the whole circumstances suggest that public opinion in America is either unruly, excitable and explosive, or that the administrative system of the country is much weaker than its severest critics ever alleged. , \Vill Not Recall Troops. , ALBANY, Jan. 26.-—Adjutant General McAlpin said today that he had received most encouraging reports this morning from the scene- of the Brooklyn strike. When asked if he was about to recall the troops Of the First brigade, he replied: “No. I shall recall no troops until I am sure that there will be no further necessity of their presence in Brooklyn. I am not informed that such is yet the case, and until I am I will take no further action.” Recruits From Chicago.

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.

Comment of the London Press on His Un- fortunate Makeup. LONDON, Jan. 26.—-In an editorial this morning The Times says that the prema- ture death of Lord Bandalph - Churchill will fill with regret and pit-y the hearts of Englishmen throughout the world, His character was marked b‘y defects that ware almost as striking as his merits. His gravest and most conspicuous fault Was his apparent want of general principles in the formation of his p icy and the guid- ance of his conduct. , e was content to fight the battle of the day and rarely .‘ook- ed to the future. His :story is a sad one and not without imp.‘ess1ve lessons to am- bitious men of all parties. The Standard says, -.“Lord Randolph Churchill shipwrecked his career because he lacked not ability, but character.” The Daily News says that Lord’Ran- dolph had many faults of temper and char- acter. He was not high minded. He was neither a steadfast friend nor a loyal col- league, but now that it is possible to re- alize the peculiarities of his constitution and his physical ailments a larger and more charitable judgment will be passed upon him by the world. All the papers publish similar expres- sions of regret and comments on his Silt-l"- comings. The Daily News says that Lord Ran- dolph Churchill’s family have declined the requests made by sculptors for permission to take a cast of the deceased’s face for busts. The whole foreign press comment upon the death of Lord Randolph and upon his meteoric career. The Drayton Divprco Case. NEWARK, N.
