Mayor Elect;E on La-| bor Ticket Aids the Strikers. to Superseds Him in Authority. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., May 17.—The at- tempt of the officlals of the Connecticut Raflway and Lighting Company to run its cars with non-union men to-day resulted in a riot, in which at least fifty men were injured. The Sheriff says that an- other such outbreak would make the call- ing out of State troops inevitable. It is be- lieved the Sheriff will supersede the po- lice in the eontrol of the city. This morning six trolley cars were | started. out on the Barnum and State street lnes. There were large crowd around the carsheds at the time the cars | were manned by twelve of the 130 men | brought to, this city by the car company. | There. was no disturbance for a couple | of hours. When the first car, however, | had completed its/ third roundtrip and | was directly in front of the Wheeler & Wilson“factory, where a crowd of at least | 300 persons had gathered, a bombardment | Deputy Sheriffs Hendrye and Plumbe, whe wege riding on the car, plunged into the crowd to arrest a man whom they | had seen throwing a stone. He was seized | and with much difficulty dragged fifty feet to ‘the car. The stone-thrower was | a big fellow and struggled so fiercely | that a policeman who was standing near by went to the assistance of the Sheriffs. MAYOR FREES RIOTER. Immediately Mayor Dennis Mulvahill ‘was seen. hurrying through the mob. He raehed up to the policem id ordere him“to take hi -hanfl*n# the phsfln‘!r* He then told the Dcputy Sheriffs that they had better let the man go. During the argument the prigoner dashed away. | In the meantime stones were flying in | a shower and one struck Mayor Mulvahill | on the head, bruising it badly. The tw Sheriffs jumped on the car and told th motorman to proceed to the carsheds, a duarter of a mile distant. The bombard- ment did not abate and the crowds on| the street were so thick that the motor- | man had to go slowly. The stone throw- | ing soon became so furious that the | Sheriffs drew their revolvers and fired five shots into the air. This caused a slight | cessation in the bombardment and the| car reached the barns and was run in- side. The five other cars received ex- | actly the same treatment as they fol- lowed the first car into the barns. i When the last car had passed in the | doors, there were 4000 persons gathered in | a vacant lot opposite and violence once | more broke loose. Bricks, stones and ev- | erything that could be thrown were huried at the barns and anything that bclonged‘ to the company iIn the vicinity. ‘ FIREMEN ARE CALLED OUT. | At this point Mayor Mulvahill saw that | the sergeant and nine policemen who were | stationed at the car barns were entirely | urable to cope with the mob and he sent | for Chief Coffin of the fire department. After a short consultation the latter or- dered out Engine Company No. 6 and a line of hose. Superintendent Bingham also ordered every man to co-operate with the firemen and finall fell back before the water. One of the strike breakers was assisting the firemen in’ holding the hose when a well directed brick hit him on the head and knocked | him to the ground senselees. When the mob had dispersed the fire- | men and extra policemen were ordered | back to their quarters and the regular | detatled force guarded the barns. | Officials of the Trolley Company will not reveal the names of the men injured. It is positively known, however, that not a man of the twelve who were on the six cars escaped injury of some kind. Every one of them as they stood on the platform of their cars while going into the barns was seen to be bleeding profusely from the head and face. In addition to the trolley men injured, Roadmaster Davis of i | gncamped in the Bridal ~Veil | meadows to-night. Near the | banks of the Merced, in a grove | of pines and firs, almost within the | spray of the beautiful Bridal Veil Falls, | | the mob slowly | the Tr y Company, was severely injur- ed by @@stone which struck him on tne head. Sheriffs Héndrye and Plumbe were th principal magnets for the crowd and each was struck on differént parts of the body at least a dozen times. No attempt was made to run cars to-night. In an inter- view the Sheriff said: “I will have no further interference on the part of Mayor Mulvahil. T will have 100 special men here to-morrow and will do my best to preserve peace, and if the Mayor or any one else interferes he will be stopped; if necessary 1 will supersede Mayor Mulvahill in authority.” SULTAN’S TROOPS BURN AND PILLAGE VILLAGES MADRID, May 18.—The Heraldo this morning reports that troops of the Sultan of Morocco have stormed and carried the fortress Tuza, after having burned and pillaged the villages in the vicinity. “GIBRALTAR, May 17.—OWing to the troubles in Morocco Spain has thrown up defenses at Ceuta, a seaport in Morocco, belonging to Spain, and will ship thither six heavy guns which have been lying at Algeciras since the Spanish-American war. | or trail the party would come down the PRESIDENT MAKES CAMP AT BRIDAL VEIL FALLS Roosevelt Reaches Floor of Yosemite: Refreshed and Delighted.
