Strife for n TunneI-Travel at n
Dead Lock.
NRw YORK, Dec. 2.-The trains on The
Morris and Essex and Erie railfbads were
detained several hours this morning al
the west end Of'Bergen tunnel owing 10
the renewed hostilities between those cars.
The wOrkmen on the Morris and Essex
attempted to put down double frog for
the purpose of running narrow gage cars
through the tunnel. The Erie placed q
locomotive where the connection was
making to prevent the work.
Several hours later a compromise was
effected and the accumulated Erie trains
passed through the tunnel, but as the
Morris and Essex trains were about moy-
ing they obstrueted the track with a
feight train. Thus matters remain at
gresent with no hope of settlement
Gov. Randolph has been telegraphed and
is expected to interfere. Large bodies
of workmen of both roads are present,
but large force of police prevents dis
turbance.
Jim Fisk left for the seat OF war this
afternoon.
Later.
The diff1cnlty between the Erie and
Delaware and the Lacawana and Western
railroads has been settled Without resort
to violence. Gov. Randolph has ordered
the President of the Delaware and Laca-
wana railroad to remove at once all OBJ
structions set up by his men and desist
from any further attempts of similar
kind. The men were at once put to work
and the tunnel is now in psssable condi-
ton. The prompt action of Gov. Ran
dolph probably prevented bloodshed as
three thousand persons had assembled and
the feeling ran high.

as 1000 acres, if desirable. Although in
the whole space covered, say, 25 miles wide,
there cannot be found spot two miles from
water power, still regard should be had to
places where there may be the greatest facil.
ity in utilizing it. The design is to bcstow
enough to enable the institution, with fair
management, to be self fsustaiuing. My pa-
tcau is within the "thcrmal belt" where fruits
arc not effected by frost Hence, nurseries,
dried fruit wine, cider, &c, arc sure means
