How the Trains are Running.
No new developments in the railroad
strike to-day. AL! trains on the Pittsburg
Cincinnati and ST. Louis road went out TO-
day except one accommodation train and
the New York night express to night AL
officers capable OF running locomotives are
doing SO. 1t is hoped Grains will move regu
larly tomorrow. The hotels and other
business feel the effect of the interruption
of railroad communication.
The railroad authorities are attempting to
run all their daily trains, and got more
away to-day than any day since the strike
commenced.
Governor NOyes' Action.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 29.-Gov-
ernor NOyes received kilograms from Ad-
jutant General Knapp, who went to Denni-
son to investigate the necessity for the in.
reference of the State authorities to keep
the peace among the striking engineers and
tireInen.
He reports that on the arrival of militia
company from Steubenville order was easily
restored, and has been since maintained
without difficulty. He anticipates no
trouble. Three trains arrived to-day in
charge OF master mechanics and assistants
from Cincinnati, Pittsburg and indianapolis.
Track DISTINCTIONS.
The railroad authorities say the strike
must break before many days. On the other
nd visit to the rooms of the Brotherhood
of Engineers shows them to be as determin-
ed as they were last week. They say
Chiet Engineer Wilson's order has no effect
on them. The worst feature of the trouble
here was the discovery of obstructiOns on
the track of the Little Miami road in three
places within the city limits. An engine
about to leave with train tonight was
found to be soaped.
The brotherhood Take Action.
CHICAGO, December 23.-The members of
the brotherhood of Engineers in this citv
have passed resolutions that they are not
disposed to submit to any reduction of the
rate OF wages they were receiving prior to
the first, as that rate was low enough,
although it gave general satisfac tiOn: also,
rendering their sympathy and promising
their support to all engineers now opposing
or who may hereafter oppose, any reduction
of their wages.
These resolutions are published signed
by committees from the Illinois Central,
Chicago, Alton and Rock Island, Chicago,
Huntington and Quincy, Milwaukee and st.
Raul, and Michigan Central roads.
Trains Running.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December 29.-There
is little change in railroad matters to-day
On the Columbus division one train each
way passed over the road. On tho Jeffer-
sOnville line one freight train and one pas
senger train each way went through.
Nearly all the day trains on the Vincennes
road are running regularly.
The Police on the Track.
At the request of General McCauley, in
of the militia at LOgansport,
twenty policemen were send there by the
Governor tonight. A rumor current this
afternoon of a general strike on all the
roads is not believed in railroad circles.

Blacksmiths' Union arrived here tonight
from Cleveland. 1t is supposed his visit ID
