THE STRIKE EPIDEMIC.
NEWS BOYS OUT. Quite a comic feature of the strike epidemic developed yesterday. The little boys employed on the commission basis to distribute the evening journals, gathered together, worked themselves up into a ferment, and declared they would not have anything to do with tho papers unless they got them on better terms. They held a meeting in Gloucester street and another in Cathedral square, but nothing untoward transpired. There were one or two men leading the boys on. and inciting them to interfere with the news men stationed at different spots in the city to sell the papers to the public. A boy who was selling papors in Gloucester street was attacked," and a man similarly engaged in High street was ako assaulted.
