On the opening of the Criminal Court by Judge Wylie to-day (the resumption of the June term), there were quite a number of lawyers, jurors and others present; among them Messes. Merrick, Kerr, Cook, Wells, Gen. Brady and C. H. Reed. Mr. Kerr called the attention of the court to the case of the United States against W. P. Kellogg, remarking, that in July notice was given that to- day they would ask that a day for trial be set. Mr. R. R. Perry said thathe would ask that days be fixed for the trial of Hitz and Prentiss. * District Attorney Corkhill said that the condt- tion of the business was such that with the mur- der cases, the detective cases, the cases against Bigelow, and the cases of Hitz and Prentiss, the Ume would be taken up Ull the middle ot Novem- Tr. The court said that what had been known as the star route cases had been privileged. ‘The current, ‘business, however, could not be set aside for there were murder cases to be tried. Then what are known as the detective cases will follow, and with the cases of Mr. Perry's, the Hitz and Prentiss cases, the balance of the time will be almost filled. nee how would the firstday of the next term sul ‘Mr. Merrick remarked that he did not desire to interfere with other cases, but they would greatly prefer that some day in the present term be fixed for the trial, and for two or three reasons. He was following out strictly in thts matter his letter of instructions, and would suggest that to carry the case over might interfere with the public employ- ment of the defendznt, for on the first day of the next term his public employment will commence and he be entitled to certain exemptions. It would hardly be expedient for the government to set a time for the trial of a legislator on the day his Work begins, He suggesied that the 10th, 12th or 13th of Noveinver be set. ‘The court repeated that it seemed to him to be impossible to reach the case this term, for there fenss pocioes the Jat ace ROR Hie jence besides the jail cases, tarcen! urglaries, &e..

THE CAR DRIVERS’ The Trouble on the Belt Line Rond. STRIKE, ~ Thirty-two drivers of the Belt Line street rall- Toad struck yesterday morning, and this, together ‘With rumors of pending strikes on other roads, caused eonsiderable agitation among the car driv- ersand their friends, ‘The Belt Line drivers made their regular trips up to 10 o'clock, when they be- gan to turn in the cars, the drivers Informing Mr. Barnes, the superintendent, that they were going to quit work. The drivers remained about the stables until the last driver turned in, and then dispersed, having created no disorder. Elght cars, driven by “extra” men not included in the strik continued to run on the road until after 7 o’cloc! when the superintendent ordere_ them to turn fi alleging as a reason that the strikers_might dam- age the cars and injure the men. The striking drivers, however, claimed that the reason was a desire ‘evinced by some of the extra men to join the strike. The strike is attributed to the refusal of Mr. Barnes to reinstate .a driver named Mit- chell, discharged Saturday. An applicant for a place as driver was put on Mitchell car Saturday to recetve instructions from him. After leaving the stables it is stated Mitchell asked the new man if he would pledge himself tojoin the Knights of Labor. Upon the new man’s declining to pied himselt Mr. Mitchell informed him that it would be a violation of the rules of the order to give him instructions, and invited nim to leave the car. ‘The new man returned to the stables and reported to Mr. Barnes what had occurred. When Mit- chell’s car returned Mitchell was discharged. The discharge was considered at a mecting of the Brotherhood of Car Drivers Saturday night. Mr. Taylor, the president of the Brotherhood, subse- quently called on Mr. Barnes and asked that Mit- chell be reinstated.” This was refused, and the strike Was ordered. THE SITUATION THIS MORNING. The Belt Lino was this morning operated by ten cars, but on the 11th and Water streets branch there were none running. A reporter of THE STaR this morning, on the way to the stables, 24 and C streets south west, encountered some dozen or two of the old drivers on Maine avenue, between 3d and 4 streets, engaged in animated conversa- 01 “What ts the situation 2” the reporter asked. bout the same as yesterday,” was the reply; “eight or ten cars running.” WHAT A DRIVER SAYS OF THE CAUSE OF THE STRIKE, “What ts the cause of the difficulty 2” inquired the reporter. “Ivis not altogether as stated in regard to put- Ung ona non-unton man,” sald one of the men. “We made a demand for an Increase of wages Sat- urday, and it was not acceded to, ‘Then the boys decided to strike.” “How are they getting along now?” “Why,” said the spokesman, “they have elght or ten drivers on if we may cali them such. Some of them are boys, and some who have been on the Toad before, but were discharged. We asked for $2 per day for 143 hours, and 20 cents per hour for extra work. We have sent a committee to seo Mr. Rounds about one of his employes.

At noon to-day, Messrs, Taylor anJ Brewer, rep- resenting the Knights of Labor, appeared at Mr. Hurt’s office. “We have come to know,” sald Mr Brewer, “what you have to say.” “Ihave no change to make,” said Mr. Hurt, “in the answer I gave you Saturday.” “Then you will present the subject to the board of directors Wednesday?” asked Mr. Brower, “Yea,” sald Mr. Hurt, “but we may as well have this question understood right here. Ido not be- Ueve that the directors of this company will con- sider any petition or demand coming from the Knights of Labor. 1 understand that your petition comes from the Knights of Labor.” “Rather 80,” sald Mr. Brewer. “Well, this company,” continued Mr. Hurt, “has no business connection with the Knights of Labor.

LIKELY TO BE ROWED ON WEDNESDAY OVER THE UPPER COU! Atthe special meeting of the Columbia Boat Club, Saturday evening, it was decided that the details for the proposed race with the Potomacs, as far as the Columbias were concerned, should be left entirely with the committee previously ap- pointed for the purpose of making arrangements. Whether the demands of the Potomacs that the race be rowed on Wednesday and over the upper course will be conceded or not will therefore be lett to the discretion of the committee. The co:n- Inittees of the two clubs will meet this evening and finally decide. As far as can be learned to- day the Columbia men are not desirous of taking a stand that would likely prevent a race. There 1g no doubt, therefore, that the race between the representative senior crews of the two clubs will take place at half-past four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon from a point opposite the Columbia lending (up the river) to the Potomac boat house. ‘The prizes will be fadividual gold medals and a stand of colors for the winning club. —_—_—$_-+-____ ‘THE GERMAN-AMERICAN BANK Cases.—To-day, in the Criminal Court, the cases of Jobn Hitz and ©.
