RICHMOND, Ind, Dec. 20+-Thcre aro no now
developments In ra!lroad circles to-tlay, savo
TINT the officials aro nil The moro conldont that
victory s III store for them, whilo tho strikers
arc equally BanBuino That SUCCESS awaits them.
Tho First Division folks aro fortunate In having
Ind their local freight carricd into Columbus
and indianapolis tho lay hcforo Christmas, and
consequently the rood was ceur when tho strike
occurred. besides what empty cars there wcrc
dictsibutcd for local business, there arc no
freight cara botwcen hore aud indianapolis or
Columbus. Officials sny
TItEY HAVE ENOUGH ENGINEERS
employed to run all tho passengers trains they
had On before thoe strike. but they arc evidently
afrad to rim, as Superintendent Miller, Mastor-
Mechanic Curtis, md his forcman, G. ". nce,
aro running nl tho ongincs on tho Tirgt Division,
and Master Mechanic Gormloy and Conductor
John Crockett tho trains on tho Third Division.
In the capacity Of ongfneor, Mr.. Miller rontiors
himself very efficient having beon ont on every
"Trip made sinco Saturday night. On account Of
luis corpuloacy tho BtHkers havo christencd him
after the largo wheel, Bo-ca'lod, " Mogul ;"
erEtncer. Tho engineers / hnyo hoard talfs
dcprcceto violent demonstrations, and nil ut
this point hnve abstained from anything oil tho
kind. Their opinion OF
CHIEF ENGINEER WILSON'S CARD
is divided. Some think 1t is bogus, from the
fnct that he would hayo communicated with
them through another channel, and others ro-
cog,Ei&o 1t nj genuine, and explain 1t On tlla
ground that llo mas bocn bought; whilo etill
others gay lo Is salaricd official, whose anthor-
lly Ii by no WnyB supreme, anyway.
THE STRIKERS CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS.
They arc slow to believe tint tho Company is
80 fortunate rs ih claimed In getting engineers
they nro willing to trust with their machinery.
Tho inquiry il urged. Why. 1T sucl, il tho case,
know nro competent, while their subordinate
officers who can hautllo M engine aro running
day nntl night. In fact tho strikers turn deaf
car to almost all hcarsays adverse to their inter
csts, anu although tho determination Of mon
who l'avo bocn with them until tho demonstra-
lions at indianapolis au Logausport is nov be-
ginning to wano, it is surprising with what ten
acity thoy cfiug to their cause, feeling much
Hurer thai it it hound to win than the indications
to atl outHldor would Beom to warrant.
