Judge Gaynor Grants an Order Which May Affect the Strikers’ Cause Favorably. IVire Cutting Done, but Not So Generally as Before. BROOKLYN, Jan. 25.—The various trol- ley lines were late in starting cars this morning. It looked as though the com- panies were waiting until the rush of traffic was over so that they might run the cars at a higher rate of speed. At 9 o’clock the Flatbush line was the only one which had out all its cars and was running on , schedule time. At that time the Fulton avenue line had only sent out two cars. The Greene and Gates avenue line and the Myrtle avenue line started cars at 8 :30 a. m., and cars began running on the Broad- way line at 8:45 o’clock. On these roads the linemen stood ready to repair all dam- age done to‘t’he wires. The police caught two men who were destroying the wires. John McGrath, 26 yearslold, of 1840 Broadway, was acting in a suspicious manner at Broadway and, Stewart avenue at an early hour this morning. He had a. long rope, and that fact alone is sufficient to cause an arrest in Brooklyn just now. He made a desper‘ ate attempt to get away, and in the fight the policeman clubbed him severely, and McGrath had a number of scalp wounds in consequence. He was taken to a station house and later in the day was arraigned in court and held for further examination. A man who gave his name as Richard Lyman, said to be a striker, was arrested by Officers Garvey and Brennan on Broad- ' way at daybreak this morning. He was in the act of cutting wires and made an attempt to escape, but was caught and taken to a station house. In court this morning he was held for further examina- tion. Grecnpoint Line Starts Cars. For the first time since the strike began, , 12 days ago. cars were run on the Green- point line this morning. Ten cars were sent out at 8:45 o’clock on the Greenpoint line and ten cars on the Myrtle avenue line. but the large force of police there was suf- 3 Trouble had been floient to keep order. expected when the line started up, but the companies were agreeably disappointed. Things had begun to look like old times at the Fulton ferry at 10 a. m., and the cars came down in regular order. At that time six cars of the Third avenue line, 12 of the Putnam avenue line, 12 of the There are no militia in Greenpoint, ‘ Court street line, 6 of the Fulton street , line and 13 of the Flatbush line had ar- " ”W ~ :4 v» S“ WAITING FOP. THE NEXT CAR. rived at the ferry. All the motormen re- ported that everything was quiet along the streets, and that few strikers were to be seen. Thomas Carney of 481 Union street, Brooklyn. who was shot by a. sharpshooter of the Thirteenth regiment yesterday, died this morning in the Long Island College hospital. Carney, who was a tinsmith, was work-. ing on the roof of Patrick Pollard’s saloon, 444 Hicks street. when a. car, guarded by the First battalion of the Thirteenth regi- ment, under command of Major Cochran. came along. Missiles had been thrown at the soldiers, and they were in an ugly mood when Carney, with Terence O’Neill, his helper, and another man, was seen. The soldiers yelled to the men to get out of the way, and O’Neill and the other man disappeared. Carney was laughing and was in the act of stooping when a sharp- shooter of Company C took aim and fired, and Carney fell to the roof with a. bullet through the body. He was taken to the Long Island Col- lege hospital, where it was found that the bullet had penetrated the right hip, shat- tering the bone, passing through the ab-- domen, lodging under the skin near the heart. The bullet was extracted, but it was seen that Carney’s end was not far 011'. To Hold the City Responsible. When the news of the shooting of Car- ney was told to his mother, she nearly fainted. After she recovered she said she would hold the city responsible in case her son’s death followed, as he was engaged in a lawful occupation when shot. Carney, who was a handsome young man, 21 years of age, was engaged to be married to a Miss Julia Strang. He met her yesterday morning and reminded her that she had promised to attend a ball with him last night. Soon after the shooting of Carney a man with a revolver in his hand leaned out of a window in the lower flats at 441 Hicks street and fired at Major Cochran. The bullet hit a trolley wire and glanced ofi. Cochran ordered Captain Turpin and a file of soldiers to arrest the man. The soldiers ascended to the room, broke open the door and arrested John Meade, a night watchman on the Wilson lino docks. He Was in his underclothing, and after dress- ing was turned over to Police Captain Drnhn, who locked him up in the Amity Street station on a charge of felonious as- sault. Fifty-two special policemen, appointed from the eligible list of firemen, resigned in a. body at Ridgewood this morning be- cause the “grub wasn’t fit for a dog. ” Ofllcer Con O’Keefe of the Sixth pre- cinct police was seriously if not fatally injured at Ridgewood during the night by falling into the car pit of the Gates av- cn‘ue depot. ‘ All Quiet at Flatbush. The cars of the Greenpoint and Wyth avenue line reached Fulton ferry Without accident ‘of note, the only occurrence be. ing the breaking of the trolley pole of car No. 221 at Meserole avenue and Franklin meet, in Greenpoint. This occasioned a delay of about ten minutes. during which . somebody threw a stone and [broke one of ‘ the‘car windows. _ . - . , Everything is quiet at Flatbushtoday. Newsboys wanted. , ; ' ., ': ., . w: E Est r" NORW‘A 1:19- GA 2 E HE -i A The railroad company started their cars out promptly at 6:30. Strikers appear con- fident and say they [will stay/outuntil the company gives in. There is talk among the people of Flatbush about call- ing another mass meeting on Saturday night. The strikers’ fund now amounts to nearly $1,000. . James Morten, one of the new'motor- men on the Flatbush line, while on car No. 1134 on its way to Brooklyn at 7:30 last night, was suddenly stricken blind opposite the plaza at Prospect park. He Was removed to the car stables and later " removed to the Flatbush hOSpital. The physicians claim that he was shocked and today say they think he will recover his sight. The Meserole street lines and those on Graham and Flushing avenue were ready to run at 10 o’clock for the first time since the strike began. Nobody seems to know whether the line- men are on strike or not. Some say they are, and others deny the report. The labor leaders are mum on the subject. Certain squads of the men are out, but they seem to have acted on their own responsibility. Number of Cars Running.

At noon today a. policeman reported to the commandant of Troop A that wires were being cut by a gang of strikers num- bering 50 on Bergen street, near New York avenue. The report on investigation-was found to be exaggerated, only 15 strikers having been engaged It was discovered that only the support wires were cut. Cap tain Roe immediately ordered the Fourth platoon, consisting of 24 men, to the spot. As car No. 2127 of the Greenpoint line was passing through Franklin street on its trip to East New York it was obstruct- ed by an immense boiler, which was taken from the front of McLean & McLaughlin’s boiler making works in Franklin street. The car was delayed for a. quarter of an hour while 20 policemen were hard at work removing the boiler. Fifty special policemen have arrived and will be detailed for duty on the vari- ous cars. Started a. Car Running Wild. There was a serious row at Thirtieth street and Fifth avenue. Two women stood on the corner of the streets, and around them stood a. crowd of strikers. As a Fifth avenue car passed the women hailed it, and it stopped for them. The car was immediately surrounded by the men, and the women boarded it. They then ’ drew pistols from under their shawls and ordered the jibnductor and motorman to stop work; The men leaped from the car and left the invaders in possession. One of the strikers then started the car and left the brake off. He jumped off before the car had gained much headway. . When the car passed the stables at Twenty-fourth street and Fifth avenue, it was traveling at ahigh rate of speed. One of the men standing there noticed that the car was running wild and jumped aboard the rear platform and soon had it at a standstill. It was brought to a. halt just in time to avoid a collision with a buggy in which tw0 ladies were riding. Another gang of strikers attempted to pull the motorman off his platform, but he fought to gain control of the car. He was very roughly treated in the scrimmage and had his jaw broken. Colonel Austin’s Statement. Colonel Austin, Thirteenth regiment, when seen at the armory this morning, said, in reference to the shooting of the man Carney, that it was perfectly justifi- able, as the mob at the time was throwing missiles at the militia. Sergeant Schreiver and Adjutant L‘room had been severely in- jured at the time. In future, however, he should, he said, instruct the men of his command not to shoot when persons refused to halt, but to place them under arrest. He had sent pickets to the housesalong the Hicks street route to warn the residents to stay with- in doors and keep their windows closed. They had gone to the roofs of the houses and removed piles of bricks which had been gathered there with the evident in‘ tent of using them as missiles in pelting the militia and the cars. Is the End at Hand? _ At the strike headquarters today it is the general opinion that the big strike has about run its course, and the strike lead- ers seemed despondent. A reporter found that the termination of the strike is the matter which interests the strikers there most. . When asked how the strike stood, Mus- ter Workman Connolly said that he did not know, but admitted that there will be a. conference of leaders. It is said that the meeting will discuss the propriety of calling 01f the strike, but neither Connolly nor Giblin of the execu- tive committee would make any admis- sion. Mr. Connolly would [not deny that the strike may be settled at once. SODIE LINEMEN STRIKE. But Less Than Halfof Them Obeyed Con- nolly’s Third Order. BROOKLYN, Jan. 25.—Some of the line— men, in obedience to the third order of Master Workman Connolly, refused to go to work for the companies this morning and struck in sympathy with the motor- men and conductors. Others kept » at work, refusing to obey this command of Connelly’s, as they did the other com- mands. The statements of the strikers and the companies differ somewhat as to the num- ber of linemen who did go out, but from the best information it seems that a little less than half the linemen obeyed. At repair shop No. 2, on Herkimer street, of the Brooklyn City railway, where 75 linemen are kept, 32 did not report for worlc tni morning. At repair shop No. 1 half V. out out. At the Bush street barns Superin. u nt Elricr said this morning that all the linemen kept-at work. On the 1. inoh avenue line of the Atlan- tic Avenue company all went out. These employer on the bergen street line did not go on 1- ' , Pres-Joni Lewis of the Brooklyn City railroad said i" .is morning: “A part of our linemen. I think, have - Newsboys wanted. Highest of all in Leavening Forum—Latest U. S. Gov’t’Repon -' ' ‘ arc/ma Baking L Assessors“! PURE struck in obedience to Master Workmen Connolly. I have received no official no- tice as yet that they are on strike, but I infer that they are from the fact that some of them came to the offices here last even- ing and drew their back pay. This attempt ‘at striking. however, will not injure us. Enough linemen remain to enable us to equip and work repair wagons on every v line we have, and we can in a short time get new linemen to take the places of the men who have quit. ” President Norton of the Atlantic ave- nue system said this morning: ”Most of our linemen of the rank and file want to go to work, but they are not now at work because the foremen have gone out. ” Less than half of his linemen struck. At 9:30 it was acertained that Troop A had been assigned to guard a crew of line. men that was working "on the Brooklyn Heights line at East New York. Linemen were at work at 2 o’clock this morning on the Third avenue line and continued to work till daylight. The striking linemen put out pickets along the diflerent lines, about the places where they report for work and about the entrance to the Brooklyn bridge to inter- cept nonunion men who came to take their places. Fifty linemen engaged by the Brooklyn Heights company started this morning from Philadelphia to Brooklyn. The Suburban company does not em- ploy any linemen. It borrows them when needed from the Brooklyn Heights com< pany. Electrician Silliman and Purchas- ing Agent Tobias of the Atlantic Avenue company went up Seventh avenue this morning to make some repairs. They had two wiremen with them. They said, too, that their foreman had' struck and some of their linemen. and that the other linemen could not work till new foremen were ob- tained. ' GAYNOR ISSUES A \VRIT. Brooklyn Heights Company Must Run Carl or Forfeit. BROOKLYN, Jan. 25.-—Judge Gaynor to- day handed down an order directing that a. mandamus should be issued directing the Brooklyn Heights company to operate all their cars on all their lines or else show . cause why their charter should not be for- felted. Judge Gaynor said the only point for him to determine now was the form of the writ, whether it should be peremptory or alter- native. He will hear counsel on both sides on this point tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock. ' The application was made yesterday by John Loader, 3 Fulton street business man, who complained that his business was in- jured because the cars were not run. “This company is not in the position of a. more private individual or company, ” writes J 'ustlce Gaynor in his opinion. “It has a dual relation—a. public one to the people of the state and a. private one to its stockholders. It has received the most valu- able franchises from the state, and also the power of eminent domain. In return it took upon itself the performance of pub- lie duties and functions and is an account- able agent of the state. The duty of the company is to carry passengers through. certain streets of Brooklyn and to furnish cars to run them. It may not lawfully cease to perform that duty for even one hour. The directors of a private company, actuated by private greed or motives of private gain, stop business and refuse to employ labor at all unless labor comes down to their conditions, however distress— ing. The directors of a railroad corpora- tion may not do the like. They are ac- countable to the public as well as to their stockholders. They must perform their duties. They may not stop their cars for one hour, much less a. week or a year, to thereby beat down or coerce the price or conditions of labor to their own offer. For them to do so would be a defiance of law or government, which, becoming general, would inevitably lead to general disquiet, disintegration of the social order and even the downfall of government. I do not think the answer of the defendant company, that violence prevents their running the cars, is legally made out. It is snown that over 7,000 soldiers are preserving order in Brooklyn, and I cannot believe that the company is not protected in its rights. ” lIIay Strike if Brooklyn lI-Ien \Viii. JERSEY CITY, Jan. 25.———The employees of the Consolidated Traction company held a meeting in Humboldt‘s hall and dis- cussed the Brooklyn strike and the pros- pects of a strike on the line of the Consoli- dated Traction company. No definite un- derstanding as to a. strike was arrived at. Some of the motormen who were present expressed the opinion that if the Brooklyn strikers were unsuccessful in their fight there would be no strike on the line of the Consolidated Traction company. It was the general opinion that if the Brooklyn strikers were successful there would be a strike. Before the meeting was adjourned a collection was taken up to 'aid the Brook- lyn men. Three hundred and fifty dollars were realized. All the cars of the Consolidated Trac- tion company are running as usual today, andthere does not appear to be any sign of a. strike. To Investigate Again. ROCHESTER, Jan. 25.—Regarding the resolution adopted by the legislature at Albany yesterday, directing the board of mediation and arbitration to make another investigation as to the causes of the strike. the chairman of the board. Hon. William Purcell, told a reporter that the board would proceed at once. .‘ “The cause of the strike, ” said Mr.Purcell, “is the inability of the representatives of the employees and the railroad companies to reach an agree- ment. They concluded to disagree, and the strike followed. Of course we will obey the orders of the legislature as contained in the resolution. That is what we are ap- pointed to do. But we have already gone over the ground thoroughly. I shall go to Albany, and the board of arbitration will have a meeting tomorrow, when plans will be formulated. ” To License Motormcn.

Springer and Cox Have An- other Financial Scheme. ' NT FEATURES.- I It \Vill. if Passed, Be a. Very Decided Vic- tory For the Free Silver Men—The Routine Proceedings of the Na- tional House and Senate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25,—The details of the amended financial plan which Messrs. Springer and Cox and two or three other members of the banking committee are discussing with Secretary Carlisle were learned today. They had a lang confer- ence with the secretary anu‘ are of the opinion that the modifications of his plan- meet his sanction. The most radical of the new propositions for which Mr. Cox ,stands sponsor is that for free coinage of silver. It contemplates the cancellation of the Sherman notes when received at the treasury and the issue of silver certifi- cates in denominations of $1, $2 and $5, = or of silver dollars if the receivers prefer. To back these silver certificates it is pro- posed to coin all the bullion in the traces ury, which, including 854, 000, 000 seignior— age, amounts to $181,000,000. It is calculated that not more than $40,- 000,000 can be coined in a. year. The changes in the banking features of the plan provide that, while the banks shall. hold the same reserve now required, one- half shall be in legal tender greenbacks or Sherman notes. Representative Cox ex- plains that this arrangement would relieve the treasury of the raids upon the gold made possible by the large volume of out- standing notes, since it would dispose of $200,000,000 of notes by using them to form the basis of banking and $100,000,- 000 for reserves in banks. It is conceded that it might be necessary to empower the secretary to issue low rate bonds to protect the treasury against large withdrawals of gold. In the Senate. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. —There was such a meager attendance at the opening of the senate today that Mr. Hoar called .atten- tion to the absence of a. quorum, and a roll call was necessary before business could proceed. Among the bills introduced was one by Mr. Chandler (Rep, N. H.) to prevent the tapping of telegraph wires used by news associations. This is to prevent the steal— ing of news and was necessitated by recent developments when various associations by means of wire tapping were making use of the press news of others. Mr. Allen (Pop, Neb.) presented an- other Hawaiian resoluiton as follows: Resolved, That it is the sense of the sen- ate that, the revolutionary government having now become the established gov- ernment of the Hawaiian Islands, a. wise and enlightened foreign policy requires that steps should be taken by this govern- ment without unnecessary delay to annex these islands to the United States as part thereof, and that in the meantime the per- sonal and property rights of American citi- zens in said islands should be protected by the presence of a sufficient naval force in Hawaiian waters. The resolution went over till tomorrow. The Hawaiian resolution of Mr. Lodge (Rep, Mass.) was then taken up, and Mr. George (Dem., Miss.) addressed the senate in support of the administration policy. \Vork of the House. WASHINGTON, Jan 25.—In the house to- day, on motion of Mr. Shell (Dem., S. 0.), a. resolution was passed providing for an investigation by the committees on venti- lation and public buildings and grounds of the office of the architect of the capitol. The house then, on motion of Mr. Say- ers, went into committee of the whole and resumed the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill. FINANCIAL AND COR/IRIERCIAL.
