Night Report.
There is but little change in railroad
matters to-day on the COLUMBUS division
Of the Pittsburg, Columbus and st. Louis
Railroad. One train each way passed over
the road. The Jacksonville, Madison and
Indianapolis road sent one freight train of
twenty-four cars and one passenger train
each. The indianapolis and Nntennes
road has been more fortunate than either
of the others. Nearly all their day trains
are running regular. The night trains on
all the striking roads have been temporarily
abandoned at request of Gen. Macaully in
command of the militia at Loganspolt

their sympathy and promising support to
all engineers now opposing, or who may
hereafter oppose, a reduction of wages.

av0wed. 1t is also reported that acts Of
violence of the striking engineers elsewhere
