CINCINNATI, December 2S.-The New
York express train from Pittsburg to
Cincinnati, on the Pittsburg, Cincinnati
and st. Louis road, due here at half-past
six o'clock this morning, arrived about
eleven O'Clock tonight at Cadiz, Ohio.
Between five and six O'clock last night
it ran into misplaced switch, but for
tunately escaped serious damage. Soap
had been placed in the tank at COlum-
bus, Ohio, from which the locomotive
took water at three o'clock this after
neon, which rendered the water bad for
IN 1king steam, exposed the locomotive
to the danger Of blowing up, and caused
it to stop at Loudon TO blow off steam
and renew the water in the tender and
the boiler. - ~ - 81 g
CINCINNATI, December 29.-There are
no new developments in the railroad
stIike to-day. All the passenger trains
ON the Pitts6urg, Cincinnati and st.
Louis road went out to-day, with the ex-
otiOn of the accommodation and the
New York night express tonight. All
OF the officers capable of running loco
motives are doing so. 1t is hoped that
trains will move regularly tomorrow.
Hotels and other business feel the effect
Of the interruption Of railroad cOmmuni-
cation.
FROM COLUMBUS, OHIO.
COLUMBUS, December Ex-Governor
NOyes yesterday received a telegram
from Adjutant-G General Knapp, who
went TO DennisOn to investigate the
necessity for the interference of the
State authoritis 10 keep the peace among
tho striking engineers and fremen.
He reports that on the arrival of mill
tia company from Steubenville, order
was easily restored, and has been since
maintained without difficulty. He an
ticipates no further trouble. Three
trans arrived to-day in charge Of mas
ter mechanics and assistants from
Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Indianapolis.
The railroad authorities here say the
strike must break before many days,
and on the other hand visit tonight
to the rooms of the brotherhood of en-
gIn,9ers, shows them tOb be as determined
as they were last week. They say Chief
Eugineer Wilson's order has no effect on
them. The worst feature of the
trouble here was the discovery
of The obstruction of the track of the
Little Miami in three places within the
city limits An engine about to leave
with a train this evening was found to
be s1aped The railroad authorities are
atte mpting to run all their day-trains,
and got more away to-day than any day
since the strike commenced.
FROM INDIANAPOLIS, IND.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 29.-The
engineers strike continues without
much change. Rumors are current of
, general strike on all the roads, but
they cannot be traced 10 any reliable
authority. Last night a party of men
entered the Jacksonville, Madison and
indianapolis railroad roundhouse, and
after threatening the watchman, broke
the gauges of sll the engines in the
house and then left. Two of the en-
gines were repaired and ready for ser
vice this morning. A large crowd
gathered in the Panhandle yards to-
day the shops were closed, and guard
armed with Spencer rifles: placed in the
yards. Bush, who shot Engineer Vance
night before last, waived examination
this morning, and was committed to
Jail in default Of ten thousand dollars
bail.
There is but little change in railroad
matters to-day. On the Columbus and
Pittaburg, Cincinnati and st. Louis rail-
road one train each way passed over.
The road sent out one freight train of
twenty-fOur cars and one passenger train
each. The indianapolis and Vincennes
road has been more fortunate than eituer
Of the Others. Nearly all of their day
trains are running regular. The night
trains on all the striking roads have been
temporarily abandoned. At the request
of General McCauley, iu command of the
militia at LOgansport, twenty policemen
were sent there by the governor tonight.
A rImOr is current this morning of q
general strike on all the roads, but it is
1 not believed in railroad circles. The
| president of the machinists and black.
/ smiths association arrived here tonight
( from Cleveland. 1t is supposed his visit
/ is connected with the engineers strike.
He favors compromise and deprecate:
violence.
FROM CHICAGO, ILL.
CHICAGO, December 29.-The mem
| bers of the brotherhood Of engineers in
/ this city have passed q resolution that
/ they are not disposed to submit to any
reduction of the rate OF wages they were
receiving prior to December 1st, as that
rate was low enough, although it gave
| general satisfaction; also rendering theil
sympathy, and promising their support
to all engineers now opposing, or who
may hereafter oppose, any reduction o.
their wages. These resolutions are pub
lished, signed by committees from tht
