FIRING ON THE MOB Militia at Brooklyn Compelled to Use Their Guns. THEY MERCIFULLY SHOT IN THE AIR Their Assailants Uninjured, but Badly Scared. EVENTS OF THE NIGHT ‘The encounter between the militia and the strikers in Brooklyn which was ex- pected all day yesterday took place at 6:30 o'clock last evening at Gates and Ever- green avenues, when there was firing on both sides. The order for the militia to fire was given by the commander of one of the seventh regiment companies, which had been stationed at Gates and Ralph avenues. The militiamen fired over the heads of 2 crowd of hoodlums that had congregated at the corner of Gates and Evergreen avenues. A car on the Green and Gates avenue line was started from the depot at Ridge- wood under the protection of a company of eventh regiment. The company’s line s stretched from house to house across the tracks of the railroad. Crowds formed in the streets in a short time, but were driven before the bayonets of the militia- men, The latter ordered the storekeepers to lock their store d all the housekeepers were directed to close their houses. The car was crowded with non-union men, who had been packed in the power house at Ridgewood all day. They were going to points adjacent to their homes and out of the way of the hoodlums. The non-union men were seen to board the ¢: Ridgewood by a gang of tough: and they followed the car as it slow! started from the power house through Myrtle avenue to Gates avenue, and thence to Evergreen avenue. The crowd kept augmenting all the time, and when the reached the corner of Gates and rgreen avenues the mob a stand, and several self-appointed aders tried to get the mob to defy the bayonets of the militiamen and fight a hand-to-hand battle. Shooting From the House: People gathered on the house tops, and in a few minutes bricks and stones were thrown in all directions. This occurred in the front of a row of three-story brick tenement hous#s, and out of every window the heads of people were extended. ‘The first pistol-shot was fired from a housetop, and in less than a minute many shots rang out from various points on the tops of the tenements and from windows all along the street. As the bullets rat- tled against the sides of the car the police- men on the front and back platforms drew their revolvers and fired at the roofs of the tenements. ‘The first shots created a terrible state of excitement in the assembled throng, and a mined effort was made to drive the ia from the streets. A Volley From the Militia. After several efforts by the mob to com- pel the militiamen to retreat the captain saw that the only way to repel the mob was to fire into it. In order to intimidate the crowd the word “Ready!” was given, but the tones of the captain had hardly been heard before the crowd commenced to howl that the militiamen were going to oot. ‘At first the crowd fell back. but when the word fire was not given promptly they returned to the assault. Bricks and stones were thrown repeatedly at the stalled car, and the men le crowded under the seats to avoid The word “Fire” was finally given by the captain, and immediately one hundred | rifles © brought into position and a belching fire was poured from the muzzles of the guns, but the militiamen had evi- dently been ordered to shoot over the heads of the men, because no one of the assailants was injured. The crowd of 2,0) people fell back, and all expected to see dead and dying around them. They retreated, and men, women and veral children were tramnled upon The order to fire a second volley was ex- pected by the crowd, and when the prelim- u ‘y or to make ready was sives le boldest of the thugs and hoodlums turned and ran in all directions. The car_pro- ceeded on its way down through Gates avenue without further trouble and back to the depot. A Determined Conflict. The vicinity of the Ridgewood avenue stables yesterday afternoon and evening was the scene of the most determined con- flict between the strikers and their sym- pathizers on one side and the troops and police on the other that has yet taken place in the present disturbance. About 5 o'clock it was decided by the officials of the road to send out car No. ley was fired, but while it had the effect of dispelling the crowd, the officers decided it was useless to proceed further, and the car, with its escort, returned to the Ridge- wood depot. The effect of the volley on the strikers was to dampen their ardor, and in the im- mediate neighborhood of the depot there was but little more troubie beyond the jeers and abuse of the crowd that usually gathers on such an occasion. in all, between the hours of 4 and 7 last evening, seven cars left the depots at Writing Home. (From the New York Sun.) various times, one of which was filled with policemen with drawn revolvers. At Stuy- vesant avenue this car was intercepted by the strikers, and, though none of them were known to bée injured, two of the of- ficers were wounded by pistol shots, which, presumably, were fired from the windows of one of the houses of the avenue. The last two cars of the seven made a final attempt to make the run down town about 7 o'clock, but after going three blocks and meeting with the same recep- tion as the others, they were run back in- to the station, and all attempts to run cars for the night’ were abandoned. ‘The mob still lingered in front of the guard line, however, and the officers of the companies were fearful of more trouble through the night. New Men Strike. The greater number of the new employes of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company who ‘were taken to the Ridgewood stables in the afternoon deserted and Joined the strikers, and last night there was not a single man in the stables who could operate the cars. The strikers succeeded In win- ning the men over last evening, and took care of them for the night. Major Cochran of the thirteenth regi- ment was seated in his headquarters in cne of the cars of the depot at 5th avenue and 23d street, and both he and his officers Fourteenth Regiment's Bivouac in Flatbush Avenue. (From the New York Herald.) were indignant at a story that they in- tended to prevent assemblages at the strik- ers’ headquarters in Centennial Hall. He denied the story emphatically. What It Costs Kings County. The taxpayers of Kings county will have to meet the burden of the strike so far as a monetary sense is concerned. The pay of the troops, as well as the cost of their maintenance, will fall on the taxpay- ers of the county, and the longer it lasts the more they have to pay. It is esti- mated that the expense of having the sol- diery in Brooklyn will foot up to between $15,000 and $16,000 per day. About 6,000 national guardsmen are in Brooklyn, of which about 1,500 are officers, who receive > of $1.50 per day, the privates This creates a pay roll of it costs about 40 cents per man, or 400 for food. Then comes the question of transporta- tion, which, at the lowest estimate, consid- ering the moving around that is constantly going on from one part of the city to an- other, and the line of supply wagons, will average ten cents per head, or $600 more. Then, every trooper is allowed $2 a day for his horse. There being about one hundred troopers on duty, this makes an extra $200, or a grand total of $1 75, which is, on the whole. conceded to be a modest estimate. A good many mothers kept their children at home yesterday, taking this precaution in case of street rioting. The public schools were open, however, as usual, The system of districts prevailing in the board of education makes it possible for every child te walk to and from the school he attends. Secretary Brown said that he THE SEVENTH FIRE IN GATES AVENUE. From the New York Herald. i ing of the Gates avenue line. The howl- mob, which had approached as near the stables as possible, by this time had grown to immense p-oportions, and when cf the commander the militia received word that a car was to be:sent out he pre- pared for trouble. site The three companies ofthe, battalion on duty were drawn up in ‘front of the car. They had been instructed that if any stones were thrown at them they were to fire. The men were all well supplied with ball cartridges. The car was rolled out ‘of the car house, and half a dozen reporters and an equal number of policemen took their places in it. On each side of the car was placed a squad of policemen on foot. On the side- walks a number of policemen were sta- tioned to ald in driving, the’ mob before them, and behind the caf. As it left the stables a platoon of mounted police were placed to resist an attack from the rear. The force surrounding the car was great enough to frighten the mob immediately in front of the stables, and they gave way a little. But the troops had advanced but a short distance when from the houses on either side of the avenue a shower of mis- siles began to rain upon the heads of the police and National Guardsmen. Little attention was paid to this by the armed escort, but about three blocks from the station the climax of the trouble came. Just at this point the tenement hous2s line the street on one side, while on the other there are a number of vacant lots. When the car and its armed escort reach- lots from the right, while from the windows and housetops on the left missiles of every description were hurled at the police and_ soldiers. The crowd pressed in from the left and both ends, and, seeing the charges of the mount- ed pclice and the militia, with fixed hayo- nets, were useless, the police abd soldiery ze police firing over the guardsmen discharged t the windows and hous rted to their pistols and muskets, the cr while the pons up at Only one vol- a, did not anticipate that the necessity for closing any of the schools would arise. Requirements for a Motorman, At a meeting of the board of aldermen Alderman Lerch proposed the following resolution, which was adopted: Every motorman employed in this city must be twenty-one years old or over, a citizen of the United States, having resided one year in the state and four months in the county. Hach violation to be punish- able by a fine of $25 on the company.” Should Mayor Schlieren sign this it will become a law, and will discharge every new man employed by the railroad com- panies to replace the strikers. Rights of the People. Among Mayor Schieren’s callers yester- day was Gen. Robert Avery, who lost a leg at Lookout mountain. The general, with suppressed indignation, said he desired to ask the mayor whether the people were to go armed or whether they were to have protection. It was certain that they had not had protection yet. He deplored a situation which held the rights of 400,000 people of Brooklyn,” who were accustomed to ride on the cars of the city daily, as nothing against the demands of 4,000 or 5,000 strikers. He believed that if such a man as Superintendent Byrnes of New York had been given full charge of the police here the trouble would have been ended before now. he police of Brooklyn,” said he, “are either incompetent to handle this situation or they are cowardly, or they are in sym- pathy with the strikers. They can take either horn of the dilemma. The police of New York may be thieves and blackmail- , but they are not cowards. As for my- self, 1 prefer thieves and blackmailers to cowards. Why, there is no protéction whet- ever afforded by the police here.

They have the right to strike, but they have no right to interfere with others who do want to work.” Alderman Clark, who happened to be present, said that the railroad corporations were violating the law. “Why are they permitted to do 50?” queried the general. “‘Whose business is it to compel them to observe the law? Isn’t it the business of the administration to do so? I do not defend the railroad com- panies, but I claim that they should be protected against riotous strikers, and I claim that something should be done at once to accommodate the traveling public of Brooklyn.” Before the Legislature. In the New York assembly last night the principal topic of discussion was the Brecklyn strike, precipitated by the in- troduction of resolutions by Assemblyman ¥riday and a report from the board of ar- bitration on the matter recommending that the legislature frame a law making the term “ten hours for a dey’s work’’ more definite, so that trouble between capital and labor might be averted. Assembly- man Friday’s resoluticn, after a long pre- amble reciting the incenvenience and ex- penses reverting to the county and state, reads as follow: “Resolved, For a better protection of the lives and property of our citizens, this legislature appoint a special committee of five of its members to examine into the causes leading up to the strike, fix the Lasis of responsibility theretor, and report to this legislature at the earliest possible moment their conclusions, with such rec- ommendations as will prevent @ recurrence of the same. +o+ —____ Standing Committees. z Grand Chief Templar Caniield has ap- pointed the following standing committees of the Grand Lodge of Good Templars for the present year: Appeal, P.
