TAPPING THE WIRES.
The turbulent feeling among the strikers
has beon somewhat checked, although there
is still much pent up wrath, which will
probably find a vent before the final settle
ment of the matters in controversy between
the employers aud the employed.
There is no apprehension felt of trouble
in Kentucky growing out of the strike.
At Columbus, Ohio, the people have or
ganized and live hundred citizens have been
enrolled as a special police, and the munici
pal authorities have garisonea the points
likely to be molested.
The employes of the Southern Canada
Boad, at Slocum, consisting of Bremen,
switchmen and brakemen, have joined the
strike.
The Missouri Pacific Bailroad has rescind
ed their order reducing wages, and no strike
or. that road is probable.
Scenes of disorder have occurred at Oma
ha, Nebraska. Boughs are paradiDg the
town, yelling and hosting, but no deeds of
violence havo been committed.
The Mayor of St. Louis has ordered the
closing of all the liquor saloons and the
strikers themselves are seeing that the or.
der is being carried into effect.
Many industries have been paralyzed for
want of fueL
An attempt at a compromise of all roads
centering east of St. Louis has failed, and
the strikers have determined to fight it
out.
The night switchmen on the Michigan
Central have quit and joined the Btrikers.
There is, however, no undue excitement in
Chicago.
Jersey City is disorderly, but the authori
ties have the situation under control. Gov
ernor Bedle has issued his proclamation,
requesting well-disposed people to repair to
their homes.
The troops will be moved from Jersey
City, Tronion and other pointB to prevent
their fraternization with the mob.
A terrible collision, the result of running
made up lines, occurred yesterday in Pitts
burg. Two engines telescoped about two
miles from Sbarpsburg, killing both en
gineers, the express messenger, mail agent
and three passengers.
The Seventh Begiment, after assembling
at their armory, in New York, were stoned
and hissed by a large crowd of tramps and
roughs. The police cleared the streets.
The soldiers at Beading, Pernsylvania,
fired on the citizens indiscriminately, killing
five ani wounding twenty-five, including
five policemen and two women.
The New York Central Boad has stoppod
selling tickets beyond Bochester.
In Harrisburg the rioters were very dis
orderly, until the citizens took the matter in
hand and dispersed the mob, who were pa
rading the street. No shooting was re
quired.
g^Tbe mob at Buffalo fired the Lake Shore
paint shops and a number of cars.
At Westfield, a company of soldiers, afttr
ki ling several rioters, were driven from
their quarters and some of the company
were shot by the mob, who got possession
of the rifles of the military.
Only postal cars were allowed to leave In
dianapolis last night.
Another regiment of troops will be ordered
probably from Texas for the scene of the
railroad troubles.
Messengers are being sent trom the Balti
more and Ohio Bailroad to the New England
roads to urge a strike.
There are rumors in Worcester, Mass., of
an.engineers strike on the Boston and Albany
Boad.
A thousand men from the West Albany
shops have joined the strike.
The strike on the Chicago and Canada
Southern main line and on the Toledo and
Detroit division became general late yester
day afternoon.
The railroad men, packing men and coop
ers of Kansas City have joined in the strike.
The miners of Bearer broke the mines
an 1 have strcca.
The shop bands and machinists at Scran
ton, Pennsylvania, havo been compelled to
quit work by the strikers.
The Northern Central Ilailrord receives
no freights.
The strikers took possession of the Union
depot at Indianapolis, and only postal cars
are allowed to depart.
The strikers at St. Louis say there is no
middle ground, snd the question is one of
either absolute victory or defeat. They will
make the issue clearly and squarely, and to
effect their object they will put a complete
embargo on freight and passenger traffic.
Everything is tranquil at Pittsburg, and
railroad affairs are unchanged.
Donahoe, the leader of the strikers at
Hornellsville, has been arrested, aud is in
close confinement.
A vigilance committee of one thousand of
the best citizens of Zanesville has been or
ganized.
The United States and Mexico have, so
far from nourishing feelings of animosity,
the one against the other, entered into
an alliance, offensive and defensive,
against cattle thieves on one side, and
revolutionists on the other. It seems
that the Mexicans are affected at present
■with troubles similar to those of which
we have eo often complained, viz. <
threatened forays into their territory
with mischievous intent. The Lerdo
revolutionists have, for some time, used
the Texas frontier as a base of opera
tions, and they have been collecting
troops and supplies there for the
purpose of marching across the Bio
Grande into Mexico. The Diaz gov
ernment, therefore, made the propo
sition to General Ord to unite with
him in his efforts to capture the men who
cross the river into Texas to steal cattle,
if he will use his best endeavors to pre
vent the Lerdists from crossing into
Mexico to steal the government. The
offer was accepted, and the bargain rati
fied, and this government has already
given earnest of the honesty of its inten
tions by promptly arresting General
Escobedo as he was about to cross for
the object stated. It remains to be seen
if General Trevino will do as good ser
vice on bis side of the river.
On Strikes In General.
The subject of strikes is one which, at
this moment, is uppermost in the public
mind, and it is a good time iu which to
indulge iu some wholesome reflections
regarding thorn, Ibo consequences gener
ally attendant upon them, and the proper
means of their prevention.
In the first place, no one will deny
that every man, or set of men, have a
perfect right, if they choose, to strike
work. It is the inalienable privilege of
every free man to work or not as he pleases.
If he thinks that he does not receive fair
recompense for his labor, he can refuse
longer to devote his time to snch labor,
and no one can prevent him.
What thus holds good for an individ
ual, also holds good for a community of
individuals, who all have a right, if
they sec fit, to cease labor either one by
one, or in a body.
No one will dispute these facts,but there
are certain rights due to employers also.
It is apparent that an employer, in the
management of his business, is at perfect
liberty to decide what wages he can af
ford to pay in order that he may be suc
cessful, and if these wages do not
suit one class of employes, he has as
much right to supply their places with
others, who will accept them, as tie first
employed have to refuse them. It fol
lows, then, that when men decide to use
their liberty, and decline to receive certain
wages, they have done all they can do law
fully, and, therefore, when it is attempted
to infringe upon the inalienablo rights of
others,and declare that thoy shad not work
as they wish, an outrage against the
law is perpetrated, and those so acting
forfeit the sympathy to which they might,
otherwise, be entitled.
To take this stand, therefore, is bad
enough, but when men, after doing so,
go still further in wrong doing, and allow
their evil passions to get control of them,
and inaugurate a system of pillaging,
burning, outrage and, perhaps, murder,
then they can no longer be dignified by
the name of strikers. They become
outlaws and rioters, enemies of
peace and of society. They work
to the direct injury of themselves, and
of all their fellow men, and the best they
can hope for is, simply, to gratify their
revenge by inflicting losses on others
which, in the end. must redound to their
own injury. They thus array the peace
ably disposed and better thinking of all
classes against them, for, when matters
reach this point, every man, from the
highest to the humblest in the land, is
interested in seeing a stop put to such
lawless and criminal proceedings.
It is such a form as this that the move
ment which begun as a strike on the
Eastern and Western trunk lines of the
North has assumed. Unfortunately, the
tendency of strikes is always in such a
violent direction, and in view of this it
may very pertinently be asked, What
good do strikes ever accomplish? We
doubt if they effect any, even under the
most advantageous circumstances. Look
ing at them from the most favorable
standpoint, even if the ends for which
they were inaugurated be effected, it is
very certain that the time and money
lost by striking brings about a bal
ance on the wrong side of the books in the
long run. But when it is further remem
bered that in nine cases out of ten they
do not succeed at all, then it iS evident
that the loss must be mast sensibly felt,
and when they degenerate into lawless
outrages, they entail injury upon every
body, and never effect good, at any time,
to any one.
The best thing for men to do when they
want to strike, is not to be rash about it,
for moderation and coolness will often
accomplish much, which violence and
hot-headedness would be sure to prevent.
Every man is governed by self-interest.
When the employer wishes, from any
cause, to reduce the wages of those
whom he employs, it is his duty to notify
them, and if the two parlies will meet
and have a full understanding of the
matter, the employer will, if he can
help himself, rather than suffer the loss
which a strike would entail, be almost
certain to be liberal; while the em
ployed, if he fully understands that the
circumstances are such as to make better
wages an impossibility, will hesitate
long time before he runs the risk of, so
far from bettering himself, more effec
tually damaging his condition.
This we believe to be the true remedy
against strikes, and if men can only ever
determine to let calm, dispassionate rea
son and common sense, instead of hot-
keadedness and the law of force rule
them in all contests between capital and
labor, such disgraceful scenes of mob
violence and disorder as are so fresh in
memory to day, would never again be
witnessed.
A man in New York, who has a salary
of five hundred dollars per month, is be
ing sued for debt. In his defence he
admits the debt, but claims that he has
no money, and that the whole of his sal
ary is needed to support his wife, four
children and mother in-law. The point
was theu made that a man is not called
upon to support his mother-in-law, and
it is npon the decision of that very in
teresting question that the hopes of the
preditor hang.
A Humiliating Confession.
The telegraph informs us that the re
doubtable Mr. Hartrauft, Governor of
Pennsylvania, and Commander-in-chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic, has
declared his inability to protect his State
from internal violence, and has called
npon Mr. Hayes, as President of the
United Stales, for troops to assist him in
preserving peace and order within her
borders.
What a humiliating confession. It is
one which it was never imagined that
Hartranft would have made. True, he
has never suppressed the Mollie Maguires,
though they have rioted in crime for
years, but the general impression which
prevailed regarding them was that, they
beiDg his political friends and constit
uents, he did not wish to use force
against them. No one thought that they
were permitted to carry out their own
sweet will in the matter of unrestrained
murder, because the State forces were un
able to hold them in check. To the con
trary, it was believed that if there was a
man in the United States who could call
to his aid an overwhelming army, it was
Hartranft. Did he not, some time ago,
about the time when Sheridan was so
badly frightened in New Orleans, and
imagined that he saw snakes and banditti
all around him, boastfully assert that he
could hold the entire State of Louisiana
in subjection and keep her an easy prey
for his carpet-bag compatriots, with his
invincible G. A. B ? If memory does
not deceive ns, he did; and if that Grand
Army was really so invincible then, may
wo not reasonably ask, “Where is that
army now ?” Why does it fail its com
mander-in-chief now in this his moment
of necessity ?
It really looks as if that army were not
suoh a terrible affair after all, and if Mr.
Hayes cannot come to the relief of its fa-
mous commander, there will be only one
alternative left him. He will have to
telegraph for his friend U. S. Grant. All
letters or messages addressed to the lat
ter gentleman, care Queen Victoria,
Buckingham Palace, England, will, no
doubt, be promptly forwarded.
Another winter campaign in Cuba has
failed, and Spain is about to send fifteen
thousand more men to that island. This
carries the number of soldiers employed
in Cuba during this war of eight and a
half years, up to)towards two hundred
thousand, most of whom are already un
der the sod. That Cuban insurrection is
a hard thing for Spain to control.
Inequalities of the Mull Service.
The Postal Convention assembles at
Old Point Comfort, Virginia, to-day,
and, as we have on previous occasions
staled, the great point of interest to
Savannah which will come up before it
for discussion, will he the establishing of
a fast mail train, which will be beneficial
to the Atlantic C >ast cities, and give us
the same advantages which have been,
all along, enjoyed in the North.
We notice that complaints of the unjust
discrimination which at present exists in
the mail service are being made also in
Baltimore. The Sun states that the
mails from that city for Bichmond
and other points South formerly left
Baltimore at 4:20 in the morning and
reached Bichmond in eight hours; whilst
under the present arrangement, the mails
do not leave Baltimore until G:40 in the
morning—a loss of two hours and twenty
minutes as compared with the old
schedule—and do not arrive at Bichmond
until 5:30 in the evening, the time taken
up in transit being nearly eleven hour?.
The time occupied between Baltimore
and Bichmond is, therefore, mw near
ly eleven hours, as against eight hours
formerly, showing an actual difference in
running time of three hours, and a far
ther difference of two hours and twenty
minutes in the time of departure. In
other words, that whereas the Baltimore
morning papers used to get to Bichmond
at half an hour after noonday, they do
not now arrive there until half-past five
in the evening. The same troubie exists
in the mails to Norfolk. At present the
mails leave Baltimore by steamer at 7:30
in the evening, reaching Norfolk at 8:20
the next morning. If the old running
time were adopted the overland train
leaving Baltimore at 4:20 in the morning,
and passing by way of Fredericksburg
and Bichmond, would reach Norfolk on
the evening of the same day.
This is one cause of the unneces
sary delay in the transmission of the mails
between this city and New York, to which
we have, formerly, alluded, and which
in connection with the very slow ached
ule between Florence, South Carolina
and Savannah, explains the whole d'ffi
culty. In the North the press and mer
chants are given, in the matter of the
mail service, decided advantage over the
press and merchants of the Southern
cities, and it is to be hoped that the Old
Point Convention will take prompt and
decided steps towards effecting a remedy
of the evil.
The Source of tlie Trouble.
A special dispatch from Baltimore to
the New York Herald of the 21st inst.
gives a detailed account of the causes
which have led to the present labor
troubles in the North. It is as follows
“ The labor troubles on the Baltimore
and Ohio Bailroad last night, which cul
minated in this city in a scene of riot and
bloodshed, have life v er been equalled
not even during the dark days of 18G1.
Iu order to thoroughly understand the
cause which has brought forth such ter
rible effects, it will be well to go back to
its inception. On the 1st of July, the
Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad issued an
order to the effect that on aud after the
Kith inst. the wages of all employes re
ceiving over .§1 per day would be reduced
ten per cent. This was done, as claimed,
by the company on account of the reduc
tions in freight rates, and the same order
had previously been issued by the other
trunk lines. The employes throughout
the country claim that not long since
their wages were reduced from $2
and §2 to §1 75 and §1 50, which
they stood without a murmur, but
that now, in addition to the
proposed reduction of ten per cent, they
are not to be allowed to make but fifteen
days in a month. This, they say, will not
furnish them with the barest means of
subsistence. For example, fifteen days
at $4 35 per day is §20 25; board is, at
the lowest estimate, twenty-five cents per
meal; thirty days at seventy five cents is
§22 50 ; this bring* them in debt $2 25
per month for board alone. They also
claim that the company will find it an np
hill job to find men to fill the places of
the present employes, and lose thousands
of dollars by employing inexperienced
hands. The firemen and brakemen em
ployed in the city say that thfe first cut
was made on their pay in 1873. They had
then had a quarter of a day deducted
from the time allowed on a trig which
previously occupied a day and
quarter, and a similar redaction
equal to twenty per cent, made in all
cases. On Sundays they had been al
lowed a half day’s extra pay, which had
also been deducted. The quarter of
day allowed them at the depot when
called and not sent out was also stricken
from their pay, which at that time was
§2 25 . per day. On August 15, 1876.
this was reduced to §1 75 and additional
work given them. They were compelled
to take trains greater distances and put
up their engines, which gave them three
hours additional work daily without com
pensation. By this last reduction the
firemen and brakemen of the first class
received §1 58 per day and the second
class §1 35, with but four days work in
the week. The engineers formerly re
ceived §3 75 per day and a bonus of
twenty-five cents per day for every other
month. They now receive §2 90 per day
and conductors §2 25. While neither of
the latter had joined in the strike they
sympathized with the movement and lent
it all the aid they could.”
The New York World speaks a sensible,
plain truth, which must appeal at once to
the good sense of every right thinking
man, when, speaking of the late Pitts
burgh riot, it says: “The workingmen of
the country will be naturally moved to
sympathize with the laborer in what they
regard as his efforts to secure a fair rate
of wages, but no class can less afford than
the workingmen to drift into sympathy
with rioters and transgressors of the law.
No matter how strongly workingmen in
other occupations may have approved the
position of the employes of the railroad
corporations when they first struck, all
suah fellow-feeling ought now to be set
aside. The moment mob violence and
insurrection became elements in the con
troversy, the question ceased to be one
betwee.i capital and labor and became
one between law and anarchy.”
Tom Placide, the well known actor,
committed suicide a few days ago by
shooting himself through the heart with
a pistol. He was exceedingly cool and
deliberate in executing his intention,
having some days before ordered his cof
fin, stipulated about the price of the
same, and desiguated the exact spot in
which he wished to be buried. For years
he had been suffering with a cancer simi
lar to one of which his brother, Harry
Placide, had died about nine years ago.
He had witnessed his brother’s suffer
ings, and had both a horror and dread of
going through the same. His life was a
burden to him, and he reasoned that as
at best he must fall a victim to a loath
some disease in a very short time, it
would be better for him to anticipate
events by taking his own life, and so he
determined on the deed, which he after
wards committed.

THE REIGN OF TERROR AT PITTS
BURG.
The Sew York Seventh Regiment Stoned.
[By Telegraph to the Homing News.]
A riot among the lower classes of the
negro population of Charleston was
threatened on Monday last. A crowd of
black idlers assembled around Market
wharf to witness the parade of a colored
militia company. A rush was made to
the ferry gate, and one of the watchmen,
to keep the crowd back, struck one of
them with a stick, almost provoking a
general row. The mob was very insolent
and threatened to kill any white man who
laid hands on them. No blood was shed,
but, as says the Journal of Commerce,
“it might be as well to put this thing
down right here and to avoid the chances
of another riot. If the police cannot
check it, let the State authorities take
the matter in hand and administer a
rebuke which these black rowdies will
have cause to remember and profit by.”
Washington, July 21.—Gov. McCreery, of
Kentucky, hag no apprehension of trouble
in Kentucky. The only trains running from
Cleveland have short accommodations. The
firemen, switchmen and brakemen at Slo-
enm, on the Southern Canada Road, have
struck. A meeting of citizens of Columbus.
Ohio, took a serioas view of the situation,
and five hundred of tLem enrolled as
special police. The municipal authorities
have garrisoned the points likely to be mo
lested. The Missouri Pacific Road ha° re
stored wages, and no strike on that road is
probable.
A very turbulent meeting took place at
Omaha, Neb. After the meeting, the
roughs paraded the town, hooting, but
no violence was done. The Mayor of St.
Louis bas ordered the saloons closed, au
the strikers enforced the order. Food for
stock is allowed to pass. Many industries
are paralyzed for want of fuel. Overtures
for an omnibus compromise of all roads
centreing east of St. Louis failed. The
strikers are orderly, but express a de
termination to fi;bt it out. A number cf
strikers have been commissioned as special
police by the Mayor to guard the railroad
property. The strikers meeting nominated
this special force. The night switchmen on
the Michigan Central have struck, but
there is no undue excitement in Chicago.
Jersey City is disorderly, but controlled
Gov. Bedle has issued his proclamation re
questing well disposed people to repair to
their homes. The troops will be moved
from Jersey City and Trenton, and other
places, to prevent their fraternization with
the mob. Short lines have been run
Pittsburg by made up lines. This resulted
in a collision two miles above Sharpsburg
The engines closed in on each other like a
telescope. Both engineers, the express
messenger and mail agent, and three pas
sengers were instantly killed, aud a number
dangerously wounded.
The Seventh Regiment, after assembling
at their armory in New York, were stoned
and hissed by a large crowd of tramps and
roughs. The street was cleared by the po
lice. The troops behaved well.
The soldiers at Reading, Pa., fired on the
citizens indiscriminately, killing five and
wounding twenty-five, including five police
men and two women.
JjhnSwinton has been selected to preside
at Tompkins square to-morrow night.
The New York Central has stopped gelling
tickets bevond Rochester.
The night in Harrisburg was very disor
derly until the citizens took matters in
hand and dispersed the rioters,
who were parading the streets. No shoot
ing was required. For a few hoars the tele
graphers were compelled to abandon their
office.
The mob at Buffalo fired the Lak8 Shore
paint shops and a number of cars. At West-
field, a company of soldiers, after killing
several rioters, were driven from their quar
ters. Somo of the company were shot by
the rioters, who got possession of the West-
field companies’ rifles.
Oulv postal cars were allowed to lca70 In
dianapolis after midnight.
Messengers from the Baltimore and Ohio
Riilroad are reported on New England
roads persuading the men to strike. They
are dissatisfied with their pay, but do not
deem a strike advisable. The streets of
Worcester, Mass., however, are full of ru
mors of au engineers’ strike on the Boston
and Albany Road. The managers of that
road apprehend no trouble, unless the New
York Central strikes.
A thousand men of the West Albany
shops have joined the strike, and are com
ing to Albany.
Late this afternoon the strike became gen
eral along the Chicagoand Canada Southern
main line and Toledo aud Detroit division.
A meeting of railroad and packing men at
Kansas City struck, and the coopers are
about to join them.
The miners of Beaver broke the mines at
Undried, Pa., and struck. There was no
violence.
The shop hands and machinists at Scran
ton, Pa., were compelled to quit work.
The Grand Army of tho Republic at
Philadelphia has taken measures to or
ganize for the suppression of the strike.
There are seventeen posts in that city.
Their services have been accepted by Mayor
Stokely, who has also increased the police
force to fifteen hundred.
Baltimore, July 21.—Trains from Balti
more are rnnning to Washington and the
West on the Baltimoro aud Ohio Railroad,
and all trains on the Baltimore aud Potomac
and Northern Central Roads. Tho Northern
Central Road receives no freight. The
mails and passenger train over the Erie
Road passed Hornellsville, New York, safely
to-day.
The strike has made no progress in New
Jersey to-day, and New York State is as
tranquil as couid be expected. Energetic
preparations have been adopted in both
States which seem heartily supported by tho
people.
The strikers took possession of the Union
Depot at Indianapolis and only postal cars
depart.
The Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafay
ette, the Indianapolis, Bloomington and
Western, and tho Indianapolis, Peoria and
Chicago Roads, are not in the strike, but
are prevented from working. Gover
nor Williams and Mayor Caven both de
cline to interfere except to suppress or
prevent violence.
Only postal cars leave St. Lonis eastward.
The strikers there say there is no middle
ground in this case. It is either absolute
victory or defeat with them, and they pro
pose to make the issne square and clearly
defined from now od, aDd to effect
this they will put a total embar
go on freight and passenger traf
fic. Their organization increases in
strength and perfectness every hour, but so
long as they are not interfered with in their
purpose to obtain what they consider fair
and just remuneration for their labor, there
will be no violence or disorder, but if they
are forcibly opposed there will be trouble
and plenty of it.
The citizens have obtained control of Co-
Iambus, Ohio, and general industry has
been resumed.
At Indianapolis, over two hundred special
police have been sworn in, many of whom
are strikers themselves, who thus declare
their intention to protect property.
New York, July 24.—Postmaster James
said to-day that there was no interference
with mails for New England and the South
ern States. All through mails for the West,
Southwest and Middle States are dispatched
by way of Canada on the New York Central
and Great Western Railroads.
Mayor Ely to-day visited the Grand Cen
tral depot and had a consultation with Su
perintendent Toucey of the New York Cen
tral. Reports from the interior line of that
road were favorable. The Mayor and police
authorities do not anticipate any trouble in
this city in regard to tho moeting in Tomp
kins square to-morrow evening. It is sug
gested that all good cizizens keep away, and
not countenance or encourage by their pres
ence any disturbance. A large force of po
lice will be present to preserve order.
St. Louis, July 24.—The report last night
that two cempanies of United States troops
passed through here is a mistake. Two
hundred and fifty men of the General Jeff.
C. Davis regiment have been switched off
on a side track at Sedalia, but whether by
the Missouri Pacific or by the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Bailroad men, or by out
side parties, is not reported.
Advice* just come from East Si. Louth
state that a large body of strikers have left
there for the Missouri Pacific shops, situated
in the wostern part of the city. It is
thought that they intend to force the men
there to cease work.
PiTTSBCua, July 21.—Tho city is entirely
tranquil, and railroad affairs are unchanged.
Hornellsville, July 24.—Donahoe, the
leader of the strikers, has been arrested
and held in close confinement.
Zanesville, Jaly 24.—A vigilance com
mittee, composed of one thousand of the
best citizens, have organized.
Indianapolis, July 24.—It is probable that
Judge Gresham, of the United States Cir
cuit Court, will this evening or to-morrow
assert his authority over the I.C. and L. and
J. B. and W. Railroads, whose receivers were
appointed by him, and will direct the United
S ates Marehal to aid the receivers in mov
iug the trains. This may bring about a
collision with the strikers. So far the
strikers have not been opposed, and noth
ing attempted to test the extent of their de
termination, therefore all is quiet.
Erie, July 24.—The following message,
signed by a committee of firemen and brake-
men, explains itself:
“Erie, Penn., July 24, 1877.—To Presi
dent Ji. B. Hayes, Washington: The Lake
Shore Company has refused to let United
States mails go east of here. We would be
pleased if you would in some way direct
them to proceed with the mails, and also
passengers.”
The general feeling in the community is
that the railroad company is not justified in
stopping passenger trains.
New York, July 24.—The Erie Railroad
officials have received dispatches that the
strikers have congregated at Corning and
stopped the trains there. Tho Twonty-
third Regiment, of Brooklyn, has been or
dered from Hornellsville to CorniDg to dis
perse the mob.

sion of the Central Railroad of New Jersey

o’clock this evening, thus virtually closing
that road to all except mail trains, and it is
reported that this action is also general on
the Delaware, Lackawanna aDd Western
Railroad.
Sedalia, Mo., July 24.—Tho employes of
tho Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad
struck this morning at ton o’clock. The
6tock train came in from the sontb, and on
arriving here the men run the engine in the
round house aud then took the stock cars
down to the stock yards. Unloading the
stock, they returned the cars to the depot
and delivered them to the division Superin
tendent,saying they would work no longer till
three months’ back pay were paid and the
wages returned to what they were before
the last two reductions. There havo been
no freight trains moved to-day. Passenger
trains are run as usual. The men are quiet
but apparently determined. Four compa
nies of tho Twenty-third Infantry, under
the command of Jeff. C. Davis, passed cast
at nine.o’elock with a section of artillery'
including a Gatling gun. The troops were
switched off at Wyandotte, Ks., bat came

turbance of aDy kind here.

quit work. The last train has been allowed
to pass.
Scranton, Pa., July 24.—Tho firemen on
the Delaware, Lackawanna aud Western,

o’clock this evening, their demand for a
restoration of ten per cent, on their* wages
having been refused. The men in the
employ of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal Company, to the num
ber of one thousand five hundred,
struck work for an increase of wages at
noon to-day. The mines are thrown idle,
and cocsiderable uneasiness is felt through
out the valley. Mayor McKune has issued
an appeal to the citizens to uphold law and
order.
Richmond, July 24.—The employes of the
Chesapeake and Ohio, Piedmont Air Line,
and Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroads, signed a paper in deprecation of
the condition of affairs North and West, and
asserting their intention not to strike.
Rondout, July 24.—Serious apprehen
sions are entertained of an outbreak here
to-day, and an undoubted effort was made to
iDangurate a strike by vicious and unem
ployed men, but the railroad employes and
a majority of the laborers on the coal dock
failed to co-operate. ^
Indianapolis, Jaly 24.—U. S. Marshall
Spooner has decided ta attempt sending a
train ont on the Indianapolis, Bloomington
and Western Railroad, and ha? asked the
authorities at Washington for permission to
use U. S. troops, if necesiary. He has jnst
gone to interview the strikers, hoping they
may be induced not to oppose him.
Chicago, July 24.—The mob which closed
the workshops of.tho railroads this morning
continued its labors during the afterncon,
busying itself with closing up manufacto
ries and all shops which lay in their way.
Proprietors generally offered no objection,
it being pretty generally understood they
would return and go to work whenever it
was deemod advisable.
Albany, N. Y., July 24.—At four o’clock,
the workmen having returned from West
Albany, again met in Capital Park, where
incendiary speeches wore made by a few,
while other speakers counselled forbearance.
A committee was finally appointed to pro
ceed to the freight house of the Central
depot on Water street and take possession
of it. When they arrived there the men
at work were told to desist, and some re
fusing were taken by the shoulders and put
out into the streets. On their way down
State street the citizens’ corps of
Troy were met and greeted with hisses and
derisive shouts but no assault was made on
them. This corps went directly to the
armory of the Tenth Regiment where they
are now awaiting farther orders. Leaving
the freight house the strikers next visited
in regular order the round house and eleva
tor and forced the men to desist from work.
At the latter place grain was being trans
ferred from the cars to the boats.
Trenton, July 24.—Trouble is apprehend
ed at Phiilipsburg.
Buffalo, July 24.—Hot work is looked for

they are now rendezvoused.
Hornellsville, July 24—The track has
been taken np between here and Barns, ob
structing the movement of troops.

Superintendent of the two roads. Mr.
Wilkins informed the committee
that their application had been
forwarded to Colonel Scott at Phila
delphia, and his response was that it
would be laid before the board of directors.
That their attention was at present occu
pied in such important matters it could not
receive immediate attention, but it wonld
be considered. Col. Scott thanked the em
ployes for their fidelity to the interests of
the companies. Subsequently the shop men
held a moeting, and resolved to continue at
work. The train men will hold a meeting
to-morrow.

Hobart Pasha has started for Sinope with

The Bishop of Nevers died of paralysis at

London, July 24.—The geneial expres
sion of the press is that the preparations are
greater than necessary if tho government
has no further object than placing three
thousand men on garrison duty at Malta.
The Times' Vienna correspondent, who is
not only exceptionally well informed, but
careful and not liable to exaggeration, tele
graphs the following : “The rapidity with
which affairs in the East are developing can
not bnt produce a vivid impression on pub
lic opinion in Austro-Hungary, and this im
pression is reflected in the pres*of the two
countries. Thus, lor some days back, the
Austrian papers demand with ever in
creasing vehemence that Austria
should take active steps. Mean
time there has been an active
change of thought in Hungary. Public
opinion, which at first loudly called for in
tervention in favor of Turkey, now demands
that steps be taken to protect the interests
of Austro-Hungary without, however, indi
cating the limit of these interests. Count
Andrassy, who, up to the present, has pre
served a reserved and expectant attitude,
will have much to do to hold up against
these manifestations of public opinion until
the moment when events will allow the
Vienna Cabinet to employ a more decided
policy.”
Constantinople, July 24.—The steamer
J. B. Walker, from New Haven, has arrived
with munitions of war.
London, July 24.—There are indications
of sharp fights before Rustchuk and near
Bilistria. No details.

Russian corps from Islalmiyeh Slivno has

[By Telegraph to the Morning News ]
Washington, Jaly 24.—Two companies of
United States troops passed Poughkeepsie
en route for Baltimore from the lakes.
A meeting of workingmen at Ban Fran
cisco, ten thousand strong, adjourned after
wrecking a Chinese wash-house, making
their way homewards in squads. They
played all kinds of pranks on the Chinese.
Five hundred policemen prevented them
from reaching the Chinese quarter. Stones
and clubs were used, but no firearms. The
demonstration seems to have been a frolic,
and by two o’clock all was quiet.
The mills of the American Powder Com
pany, located in Acton and Maynard, Mass.,
exploded in rapid succession, involving
great loss of proparty and some life.
The President and fall Cabinet cannot
possibly attend the Postal Convention at Old

standing that he will return in twenty-four

There are bnt few details from the North
regarding the railroad troubles. There
have been no overt acts this morning. The
strikers are becoming organized, and the in
dications are that they will aid the municipal
authorities in saving property, if the awk
ward militia squads stop their wild shoot
ing. Trade and travel in the disturbed dis
tricts, which extend from the Mississippi to
the Atlantic, and from Mason and Dixon’s
line to the lakes, continue paralyzed.

[Special Telegram to the Morning News.]
This is sense. It is from the Arkansas
Gazette: When we buy everything—
food, clothing, furniture, farm machin
ery—everything, in fact, from a steam
engine to a hoe handle, and depend on
cotton alone for the money with which
we are to pay, how is it to be expected
that money will ever be very abundant ?
Atlanta, Ga., July 24.—The enterprising
journals that tc-day publish telegrams that
the bill of rights was adopted yesterday
are too smart. It was not adopted until
after one o’clock to-day, aud then with
numerous amendments and new sections,
some of which are in the portion of the bill
considered yesterday. Stirring speeches
were delivered from Messrs. Toombs,
Mathews, Little, Warren, Screven, Wofford,
Gnerard, Mjnatt, Augustas Reese, Gartrell
and Hammond. Tho galleries were
crowded, and there was general applause
when General Toombs said his sympathies
were with the railroad laborers and
not the groat corporations. General Law-
ton amended one section so that the Legis
lature may uncover concealed property, and
Mr. Gnerard that no person shall testify to
criminate himself.
General Wofford attacked the convict lease
system in a powerful speech, and revealed a
sad state of affairs. The committee is inves
tigating the matter.
General Toombs and Colonel Warren at
tacked the railroad and other monopolies,
acd Colonel Screven and Judge Mathews
defended them m able speeches. The
former won the victory. There will be no
more special grants to a .y kind of corpora
tions.
Lobbying is made a crime, and the Legis
lature is to fix a penalty. This is a victory
for Judge A. R. Wright.
Tho Capitol Removal Committee made a
minority report of four members and a ma
jority report of five members, the latter
favoring that Atlanta bo put in the constitu
tion, and the former to submit the question
to the people. It will b3 discussed to-mor
row.
On motion of Judgo Augustus Reeso, the
extreme State rights clause was stricken
out. This has been the great day for work
and speeches, and much labor has been per
formed.
General Hancock telegraphed here last
night to General McKeever for a
list of all available troops in the De
partment of the South that can be moved
to suppress the railroad strikers. One com
pany left here this morning for Louis
ville, Ky., and two are now here en route
from Columbia to the same point. They
were de'tamed several hours this noon, near
Union Point, by a terrible accident on the
Georgia Railroad, the train being thrown
from the track by cattle, aud the engine
exploding, killing the engineer and setting
fire to the cars.

There is a difference of opinion in some
of the Lutheran Churches concerning the
sort of bread that shall be used in com
munion. Some want loaf bread, while
otherainsist that it ought to be served in
wafer form, as in the Catholic Church.
In a few of the churches both kinds of
bread are put on the plates, and mem
bers may take which they prefer. This
brings to mind the disturbance in a Mis
souri Baptist Church on a kindred ques
tion. The trouble there was as to
whether the bread should be ent with a
knife or broken with the fingers, and the
fight split the church.
