| New York City 1899 The following series of photo were taken from Harper's Weekly July 29, 1899. The article deals with a strike of trolly employees. | |

The article mostly deals with the causes of the strike. There are, however, two paragraphs that relate to the
section of the city where the Walshes lived.
One of the greatest avenues in the city- Second Avenue- was the scene of the wildest disorder known in New York City in many years. Fully fifty thousand persons thronged its length on the first night of the strike. The police made dozens of charges on the lawless element in the crowds, and every time some one was hurt.Further on is the following paragraph refering again to Second Avenue. Not until nightfall did the rioting begin in earnest. Spikes were driven into the cable slots, employees were beaten, policemen were assaulted, and cars were wrecked partly. Repeated charges of the police, in which many persons were injured, conquered the mos, and by 11 P.M. the avenue was deserted. The next might the street was almost empty, and several small boys are said to have thrown stones at policemen. Women and children had been among the most persistent rioters the night before. |
