TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
A Western nnd Atlantic Passenger

A daring; attempt was made to rob a
Webern and Atlantic Lain at Adairsville,
Ga., Friday ni.ht. Instead of securing
ny booty the robbers were driven off by

NEW ORLEAN’S BIG
Is Brooiit to a Close Tironji lie In¬
terference ot (Jov, Foster,
The Most Extensive Labor Movement
of the Kind Ever Kuowu.
New Orleans’ big strike collapsed at 8
o’clock Friday morning. It was the most
ambitious labor movement of the kind
ever attempted in this country and very
nearly succeeded, and perhaj s would
have done so but for the interference of
Governor Foster. The strike was alto¬
gether on the question of unionism. It
was an attempt to prevent the employ¬
ment in any trade or industry of any but
uuion men.
The amalgamated council organized
ah the trades of New Orleans —sixty-one
in number—into unions this spring and
theu set about raising wages, reducing
the hours of labor and compelling em¬
ployers to take only union men. The
street hands struck and won a signal vic¬
tory. Strike after strike followed during
the summer a? d fall, the men being \ Ic-
tnrious m all of them.
On October 22d the teamsters, loaders
and warehousemen struck to compel the
merchants to employ union men. The
amalgamated council took up their tight,
and on N vember 3d ordered a general
strike of ail trades out of sympathy, and,
in order to bring the merchants to tenn«,
it was intended to paralyze New Or¬
leans, to effect every industry anei to
bring the matter home to every man,
woman and child in the city, so that they
would unite in insisting upon the mer¬
chants conceding the demands of their
employes.
DRIFTING TOWARD ANARCHY
As a strike it was a success. There
could have been no more complete one.
Only four nu n < ut of 15,000 ordered out
refused to obey the call of the council.
For a week New Orleans was without
bffhts, cars or carriages. The factories
closed up; the city’s business was killed ;
its steamboats tied up; its railroads,
newspapers and theaters w'ere all crip¬
pled.
Neither the mayor or the police seemed
inclined or able to do anything. The
city was drifting rapid y into anarchy.
But when Governor Foster reached New
Orleans he a?sumid charge of the city
and restored order.
THE MILITARY COMES IN.
The governor’s proclamation Thursday
had a good effect. Next he followed
this up by assembling the militia at the
arsenal. After swearing in new men and
showing that he had a sufficient force—
5,000 men—to make his orders obeyed,
he announced his intention of getting
the gas and electric light plants fo work
Friday and the street cars runuing. The
leaders of the strike recognized that they
could not hope to win without an encoun¬
ter with the militia and bloodshed.
Then the men, too, became restless and
uneasy.
auspices Negotiations were reoponed under the
of the governor, and after par¬
leying for terms the amalgamated coun¬
cil surrendered and withdrew its demand
that none but union men should be em¬
ployed, and asked only that union meu
should not be discriminated against. It
was recognized as a complete surrender
and the strikers all returned to work
Friday morning.
THE IN6TIGATORS DENOUNCED.
Under the terms of the agreement a
they large number of the strikers found, when
returned to work that their places
had been filled by non-union men. This
was particularly the case with the car
drivers, the carpenters, the tramsters and
the loaders.
A crowd of 1,000 or more strikers, who
had been thrown out of jobs, assembled
iu Exchange alley, the headquarters of
the commute of five, and roundly de¬
nounced the members of the committee
who had led them to defeat and even
threatened violence to them. Although
the strike is ended, the movement against
the men instrumental iu bringing it on
will not be abandoned.
The chances are that the amalgamated
council will break up as the printers and
many of the union men threaten to leave
it. The defeat will be a severe blow to
unionism in New Orleans.
WILL BRING SUIT .
The suit against the members of the
committee of five and the heads of the
different labor unions for violations of
the interstate commerce act, will be vig¬
suffered orously prosecuted by the merchants who
by it.
Steps have ateo been taken to impeach
Mayor Fiizpatrick and secure theremovaL
of Chief of Police Gastor, both of whom
it is charged sympathized with, aided
and upheld the strikers and made no ef¬
fort to preserve the peace, or protect
citizens. The constitution allows the
impeachment of the mayor upon the pe¬
tition of twenty-five property-holders.
The case is to be tried before the civil
district court. Criminal proceeding will
also be begun against all strikers who
were impl icated in the violence.
A disp sition is >hown by the mer¬
chants and other emp oyt rs to press the
advantage they have gained and prevent
a recurrence of a strike like this has
been. The loss to the city has been im¬
mense. Probably 25,000 people have
been idle fora week, Using $500,000 in
wages, while the employers probably lost
50 per cent, more, as this is their busiest
season of the year. The receipts of pro¬
duce have been amazing—about a million
a day—of which probably half has been
diverted by the str ke, and including
the direct loss to New Orleans for nearly
a week’.- complete suspension of business,
it will be between $5,000,000 and $6,000,-

BUSINESS REVIEW.
The Election Did Not Cause Any Bad
Effects.
R. G. Dunn & Co.’s weekly review of
trade says the presidential election has
interrupted business to some extent in
all pans of the country during the pist
week, but by no means as much as usual.
At nearly all points the value of trade
has been fairly maintained and the un¬
precedented iy activity of industries hason-
been interrupted by the election holi¬
day. A severe storm throughout most
of the northern states has embarrassed
the movement of products and has check¬
ed some trades, but was very welcome
to dealers in winter goods, who had
found the unusually mild weather some¬
what depressing to iheir business. The
distribution of other products has been
fully up to the average and the reports
regarding collections are from almost all
points qnite satisfactory for the season.
The money mirkets have not t een dis¬
turbed, though their working has been
somewhat closer at several important
points, and foreign necessities and the
scarcity of commercial bills have caused
some decline in foreign exchange. It is
feared that Russian needs and the failure
to place the desired loin in Paris may
cause further withdrawals of Russian bal¬
ances in Philadelphia Eastern Europe. trades
At most have
been dull, but iron is firmer, and the
colder weather brings mure demand for
boots and shoes. The manufacturers of
tobacco are pressed trade to their full capacity,
the wall-paper is large, and the
trade in chemicals steady.
At Baltimore business is good, with
increasing export!, and southern collec¬
tions better than was expected.
At I ittsburg the production of iron in¬
creased, tut also the demand. The gen¬
eral tone is slightly better wrought than before,
with larger orders for pig. Glass,
especially plate, is in large demand.
The prospects are more encouragiug at
Louisville and business is fairly active,
but at Nashville trade is fair and at
Little Rock depressed by small
receipts of cotton. At Memphis
the election interfered to some ex¬
tent and at New Orleans business was,
until a few days ago, at a standstill on
account of the great strike. The output
of pig-iron, November 1, was 171,080
tons weekly, an increase of 18,055 tons
during the month half of October. Produc¬
tion in the last of 1893 seems
to be not far from 4,188,000 tons, and
stocks in October have been reduced 77,-
000 tons, which indicates a consumption
larger than a year ago. The deliveries
of rails for the year are small, not over
1,250,000 tons. Bars are more active,
owing to car building, but plates are
quiet and new orders for structual work
are scarce.
RAILR0AD MAGNATES
Endeavoring to Remedy the Demoral¬
ized Condition of Rates.
There was an earnest and protracted Monday,
conference in New York City,
of owners and presidents of southern
railroad and steamship lines. A gener¬
al desire to. remedy the present demoral¬
ized condition of rates tnroughout the
South led to the calling of the meeting
by Mr. W. P. Clyde. Every railroad
and steamship line which was invited (o
send representatives reported. H. B.
Plant presided. Every important Toad
running into the south, including the
Louisville and Nashville, Illinois Central,
Central of Georgia, by H. B. Holmes,
the various Richmond Terminal lines and
the southern California railway were
represented usually by its president and
two or three other officers.
The objects of the meeting were fully
explained by Mr. Clyde and others, and
a long discussion disclosed the fact that
there was practical unanimity as to the
necessity of taking immediate action to
stop the existing rate cutting and pre¬
vent threatened complications among
southern railroads. There was a gener¬
ally expiesscd disposition that the rail¬
road people should themselves regulate
the rates of transportation instead of per¬
mitting a few shippers to do it. A com¬
mittee was appointed to rtvise and re¬
port a plan of action. One of the im¬
portant suggestions made was that an ex¬
ecutive board o f the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association be appointed
to consist of the presidents of the re¬
spective lines, instead of traffic mana¬
gers as at present.
STREET CAR STRIKERS
Are Causing, Considerable Trouble in
Columbus, Ohio.
The street cir strike, which was in¬
augurated in Columbus, O , several days
ago, took a threatening aspect with the
attempt of the company to start their cars
Thursday morning. About seven*y-tive
policemen, under Chief Murphy, were
taken to the Long street baras before
seven o’clock, and prepvra ions made to
run out the cars. 1 wo non-union motor-
men and two conductors were on hand
and took their positions after Chief Mur¬
phy had driven|the atrikers from the com¬
pany’s premises across tho street in>o 'he
commons. The cars were fi.led with
policemen and succeeded iu getting a
good start. They were stopped and
turned back before reaching SouMi
Barns, had where a large number of stiikors
with congregated. The sympathizers
the strikers are notifying the shop
hands and all union men to turn cut an i
prevent the cars from running.
DEPOSITING SECURITIES;
Holders of Bonds of the R. & D. Mak¬
ing Themselves Safe.
A Baltimore dispatch sa\s: The de-
positors of the underlying securities of
the Richmond and Danville railroad wit a
the Mercantile Trust and Doposit Com¬
pany, of Baltimore, assumed e nsiderab e
activity Saturday. The committee lia*
secured about three millions of securi¬
ties of various classes. The committee
announced that this movement was
inaugurated in Baltimore for the
reason that so large an amount of bonds
of different classes are owned or con¬
trolled in that city. Numerous requests
have been addressed to the committee,
asking that some arrangement be made
for the deposit of bonds in New York
and the committee is now considering
the appointment of an agency in New
York where bonds may also be deposited
i nd certificates issued.

remarkable evidence of the beneficial
effect of Cleveland’s election came Thurs¬
day in the sudden demand from New

ploy are now in the hands of the Order

assistance of some central detectives,
captured Beresford at Albany. He was
afterwards sent back to Georgia, where
he was wanted for swindling operations
in Rome, Ga. He was sentenced to six
years imprisonment, but this has not pre¬
vented him from seeking to injure the
