TROLLEY CAR
WAS PELTED
Superintendent Patterson and an
Imported Grew Snblectetl
to RoiiqIi Treatment.
RESCUED BY STRIKERS
First Blow of the Strike Falls on
the Head of the Company's Now
Superintendent Crew Save Them
selves from the Crowd's Violence
by Deserting the Car and Surren
dering to the Strikers Company
Brings on New Men Easter Than
the Strikers Can Send Them Out.
Local Merchants Refuse to Sell
Food to the Imported Men and the
Company Has to Send to Philadel
phia for Supplies.
If tho excitement In connection with
tho street car strike progresses In the
same ratio In which It has grown so
far, some serious trouble can. be looked
for before many days. The strikers
are behaving themselves admirably,
but their sympathizers are commenc
ing to show their sympathy In a very
demonstrative way.
Yesterdny the demonstration cul
minated In an assault upon Suoer
Intcndent Patterson and two import
ed men, who were running an Kvnon
street car up Lackawanna avenue.
But for the Interference of the strikers
there is no telling where tho trouble
would have ended. As It was,
Superintendent Patterson received very
rough usage, and the two imported
men only saved themselves by rjult
itng the car and allowing themselves
to bo taken to strike headquarters.
It was the last trip of the cur for
tho day, and was the only ear running
nt tho time, all the others having been
taken to the barn at the approach
of nightfall. r
About C o'clock it came across Lack
awanna avenue bridge with the two
Imported men running it and Superin
tendent Patterson standing on the
front end. Tho crowd that had been
massed In front of the company's of
fices most of the day had just been
augmented by a. score or more of
breaker boys returning from work.
They and a crowd of street urchins
rushed down to meet the car, followed
by the others.
STREET WAS BLOCKED,
A freight train passing over the "Y"
blocked the street for several min
utes and caused a largo number of
wagons to collect. The drivers were
all in sympathy with the strikers, and
did not need much coaxing to so tan
gle up their vehicles when the sates
were raised that the car was stalled
fully Ave minutes.
When the car finally got over the
lower crossing of the "Y," it encoun
tered another obstruction in the way
of a line of wagons moving slowly
ahead of it on the track. The first
teamster In the procession refused to
move more than ten feet at a time,
and when he did move It was at the
slowest pace his horses were capable
of. None of the teamsters in his wake
would pull out of the track, und con
sequently the car was compelled to
merely crawl along.
As the car was about to cross tho
eastern arm of the "Y," the harness
on the team immediately in front of it
was discovered by the driver to bo
badly In need of repairs, and ho pro
fceeded to repair It, with the assist
ance of half ti dozen big, burly spec
tators, who looked ominous looks at
the motorman, who was threatening
to run ahead regardless of the obstruc
tion. All the time that, this was going on
the crowd was yelling opprobrious
names at the crew and the breaker
boys, bootblacks, newsboys and other
lads were pulling 'down the trolley,
placing stones on the track and
throwing handfuls of muck at Super
intendent Patterson and the crow.
Things might , have gone along
tamely had not tho breaker boys dis
covered that one of the open freight
cars on the adjoining Delaware,
Lackawanna and AVesteru sidings
contained large potatoes. There was
a raid on tho potatoes and if it was
not that tha approach of a few police
officers concluded tho work of tho har
ness menders, tho contents of tho
freight car would have boon trans
ferred to tho trolley car.
The conductor wont out to "run
tho crossing" and Superintendent Pat
terson took his place on the roar
platform. The crowd did not know
but that ho was one of tho Imported
men, and, as the police were busy
up In front, opening a way for tho
vehicles that wanted to go through,
the crowd picked upon him as the best
target. The potatoes fairly rained
upon him from both sides and through
tho lowered rear window of the ves
tibule. They were thrown from short
range and many of them struck, him
in tho heud and face. Ho could do
nothing except dodgo as best ho could,
for tho moment ho loft tho vestibule
tho trolley would be pulled down and
the job of replacing it just then was
not an inviting one,
PULLED THE TfiOLLEY DOWN.
Een with tho superintendent cling
ing to the trolley rope to keep It from
swinging within reach of tho crowd,
a black-faced urchin climbed on tho
rear buropep of tho car and gave It a
yank, Down came the trolley pole,
but by the most fortunato accident,
tho wheel caught tho wire when It
was springing back and remained on.
Another boy from tho breaker
jumped on tho step nnd slapped tho
superintendent In tho fuco with his
dirty, black, greasy cap. Still an
other mado bold enough to get on tha
step of tho car, reach for n potato
which was lying at tho superinten
dent's feet and throw It with all Its
might plumb Into thn mlddlu of the
supeilntendent'3 back.
When the car was finally gotten un
der way, PuperlntenJont Patterson
took tho motorman's rlaco find run
It without a fttop as far as tho upper
sldo of tho Rcrauton House, next to
which, In tho 'drum! Central, aro lo
cated strike headquarters. Haro tho
crowd inado a larfc stand against tho
running ot tho car uud with tho aid
of a friendly teamstor, who just then
found It expedient to cross tho track,
the car was brought to a standstill
again,
The missionaries of the strikers were
aboard It In an instant, Importuning
the crow to desert and cotno up Into
headquarters. A crowd In tho head
quarters, which lnclusctl a number of
letter carriers, motioned and yelled for
tho crow' to como Up. The police were
standing by, but as they were not
aware of any law preventing citizens
from getting aboard a car and talk
ing ns much as they wanted to, they
made no effort to Interfere.
Tho crow were obdurate. They said
they would quit In tho morning, and
so on, but the strikers wanted them
to quit then nnd there. Up on tho
front platform sonic over-zealous
strike sympathizer caught Superin
tendent Patterson by the logs and
pulled him oft the car and Into the
crowd. Ho had no sooner struck tho
pavement than ho was dealt a stun
ning blow on tho forehead that knock
ed oft his hat and caused him to renl
for an Instant.
PROTECTED PATTERSON.
Olio of tho biggest of tho strikers,
Ed Pentloy, nnd his brother Joe, who
is also a good-sized lad, forced their
way through the crowd surrounding
the superintendent, and, throwing
their arms about him from either side,
protected him from blows while they
fairly carlcd him onto the sidewalk
nnd Into O'Connor & Walsh's saloon.
They then rushed him through the
back door and escorted him safely up
Railroad alley to the company's of
fices. Ho shook hands with his res
cuers and thanked them heartily.
Tho strikers' missionaries were us
ing mild force to urge tho two mem
bers of the crew to desert, but they
remained obdurate until they saw
Superintendent Patterson go off the
car, when they allowed themselves to
be taken Into strike headquarters. The
crowd sent up a great shout when the
crew deserted, but tho strikers did not
jubilate over their converts very long,
for one of them was discovered to be
a Noy Yorker who had nrctended to
be converted the night previous, nnd
who was dispatched to tho company's
office to convert his "brother," who, ho
said, was one of the newcomers, stayed
there and took out a. car in the morn
ing. Last evening they protested that
they were not only willing, but axlous,
to go back to New York, and would
start at once If furnished with fare..
The strike committee told them to
wait about headquarters and they
would consider their case.
When tho car was deserted on the
avenue, several of the strikers boarded
it, replaced the trolley and kept tho
crowd away from it until the dispatch
ers came down from the company's
office to take It to the barn.
The crowd continued to Jeer as the
car pulled away, and the urchins fol
lowed It until it left the avenue. Two
of the windows were broken by the
missiles, but otherwise the car was
uninjured.
This sort of thing in a milder form
and with numerous variations was
oontluued all day long, on Lacka
wanna avenue, between the Y and
Wyoming avenue. The boys did tho
active mischief. The men stood around
to see that moral support, at least,
was not wanting.
BLOCKED THE SWITCH.
At the corner of Lackawanna nnd
Washington avenues, tho switch was
thrown against the car and when
the motorman ran ahead to turn 't
tho crowd that had collected stood on
the switch and would not let him ap
proach. A police officer camo along
after a time and the crowd allowed
the car to proceed.
At the switch in front of Samlet's
a car was standing with its forward
wheels just clearing the latch. A boy
turned tha latch, and when tho car
started up, the rear truck took to
the switch, causing the car to lie
thrown slantwise, and giving it a bad
wrench.
Several limes dining the day a car
came along with a. few passengers
aboard. The strikers boarded 11, ap
pealed lo the passengers to get off,
and in no instance was the appeal in
vain. Tho passengers were all stran
gers and had evidently just como into
to tho -city. Tho strikers offered to
provide thcse passongets with u free
bus ride to whatever point they
wished to go. .1
The company would not give out
any statement of the number of men
it has or the number oC cars moved.
Tho strikers claim that out of tho
seventy so far imported, fifty-five
have been corralled and sent backvor
ruruished witlt employment other
than that which they came for.
Out of the fifty-three who came in
at 9 o'clock Wednesday night,
twenty-three have been .sent home and
three furnished with positions. Only
eleven of them reached tho company's
office, according to the reports brought
in by the strikers' scouts. The others,
tho strikers say, have scattered
throughout tho city to ply their var
ious avocations. The converted Now
Yorkers say that a largo number ot
tho men who came with them are
notorious criminals from the Bowery
and that they did not Intend at any
time to work on tho cars here, but
simply came along to get a frco ride
to now fields.
The six man who camo In from tho
west at 1:10 yesterday morning, are
.supposed lo bo professional strike
breakers from St. Louis. Tho strik
ers were not able to locate anv of
these yesterday. They were kept in
tho company's offices all day.
TWO MORE SENT BACK'.
Two men, giving their names as O,
L. Knapp and T. R. Troxell, and their
residence ns Wlllhiiuspoit, arrived
yesterday morning, and were corralled
nnd sent back by tho strikers. They
claimed thuy cumo hero In response to
telegrams from tho Scranton Railway
company.

THE LATEST ARRIVALS.
Another big crowd of fifty-three
New York trolley men arrived last
night on tho ll.R.'i Lackawanna train,
and nn oven fifty of them were cap
tured by tho strikers and their union
sympathizers.
Tho fifty-three men were ensconced
In a car near the front end ot the
train, Tho window curtains wore
pulled down and tho crowd of GOO or
700 waiting on the station platform
was fooled for a couple of minutes
after the train's arrival. It wttnlt
long, however, before the men began
to pile out and then the Work ot per
suasion began.
Each man was surrounded by at
least two, and In some instances by
four, of tho strikers or their sympa
thizers and the arguments used ,were
so conclusive that It wasn't five min
utes before fifty ot them were up in
the strikers' headquarters. Three
went up to tho company's offico to a
chorus of jeers and bunked thero for
the night.
Welner, or Dalles, who brought the
men here, Is the same Individual who
brought tho crowd which arrived on
Christinas night. Hp was on the train
but when he started to got oft such
a. mighty shout of "scab" arose that
he backed Into tho car again and in
sisted on having one of the company's
ollicers escort him into tho men's
waiting room, whore ho was at last
accounts, afraid to venture out.
There is no question but that each
and every one of tho fifty-three men
know there was a strike on in this city
when they decided to come here, but
they undoubtedly did not know that
there was any great amount of public
sentiment in favors of the strikers'
cause.
They said that they were hired by
Welner, who promised them $2.30 a day
and board for the first week and $2 a
day and board for every week there
after. Some of them admitted that
they knew "there was trouble in Scran
ton," but a few of them persisted in
saying that they were told that a new
road was being built here.
The majority of the men captured by
the strikers were shipped back to New
York on the 1.40 train this morning.
A story was afloat yesterday to the
effect that a carload of importations
had passed through here for Carbon
dale. Tt could not bo verified, how
ever. No attempt has yet been made
to move a car between Providence
corners and Forest City.
Tho letter carriers have arranged
for private conveyances, and will not
hereafter ride on the trolley cars.
The difficulty the company is experi
encing In feeding Its imported men is
evidenced by the fact that it is receiv
ing supplies of bread and other
victuals from Philadelphia. A consign
ment of suplies of this character was
received yesterday from a store at
No. 17 Market street, Philadelphia.
AWAITED ON THE MAYOR.
General Manager Silllman and the
company's attorney, Everett AVarren,
waited upon Mayor Moir late yester
day afternoon, and requested him to
have tho police keep tho streets in
front of tho company's olllce on Lack
awanna avenue clear of the crowds
which have gathered there during tho
past few days. They also requested
him to instruct the police to arrest
the mischievous small boys who have
been pulling the trolleys off the wire
and blocking the switches.
After the conference Mayor Moir
said that the demands made by
Messrs. Silliman and AVarren were
perfectly reasonable, and would be
carried out as far as possible.
The hearing in the case of AVllliam
Powell, one of the strikers, who Is
charged by C. AV. Seeley with making
threats, was to have been held yes
terday afternoon in Alderman Mil
lar's office,, but had to bo postponed
until Monday on account of tho fail
ure of Seeley to appear. The alder
man suggested to Attorney L. P.AVede
nian, who appeared for Powell, that
he might move for the latter's dis
charge, hut this Mr. AVodoman refused
to do, saying he wanted to ask the
gentleman a few questions.
Michael Oerrity, a twelve-year-old
boy from Bellevue, was arrested by
Special Agent Dyer on Wyoming ave
nue, for throwing a stone at a car.
He was taken to the central police
station, but after being registered, was
released.
