TEE STRIKE AT CINCINNATI.

x n CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec 28, 1873.
A strike OF the engineers and firemen on the Pan
Handle Railroad commenced here at noon to-day.
The strike Is against the reduction of 10 per cent
In the wages OF these employees from the 1st OF
the present month. The agents OF the company
say previous notice OF the reduction was given
Since noon two passenger trains and all the freight
trains on the Pan Handle road were unable to leave
OF the Pan Handle and Pennsylvania Central roads
are affected simultaneously by this strike.
The Pan Handle officers are doing all they can to
keep trains running. The railroad shops in the
eastern part OF the city are stopped to allow the
mechanics to take the places OF the striking en-
gineers Out OF seven passenger trains to leave
the city this afternoon four went out and three
had to remain here. Nothing better Is expected
for tomorrow. Up to midnight no freight has left
since noon.
The officers here had no intelligence of the strike
till noon-the hour appointed for IT to begin. They
had vague rumors Of contemplated strike which
came last night, but gave no indication as to the
time when 1t would begin, and were not credited.
superintendent Ellison, VINO went out on the
quarter past nine P. NJ. train east, reports at.
tempt to throw 1t OF the track at the Pendieton
shops in the eastern part OF the city, about three
miles from the depot.
He says the obstruction was made by winding
tinct places close together. At the first
obstruction the locomotive jumped the track
and striking the second it recovered the track and
ran on again without injury. The precise charac-
ter Of the obstruction has not been ascertained.

THE STRIKE at COLUMBUS.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 26. 1873.
All the engineers employed by the Pennsylvania
Central Railroad Company on the division west of
Pittsburg have struck. The Pan Handle Company;
the Columbus, chicago and Indiana Gen.
troll; the Pittsburg; Fort Wayne and Chicago,
and the Little Miami roads notified all employees
that after December all wages would be cut down
10 per cent The engineers repeled, and petit
tion, signed by 5000, reminded the managers OF
SAID companies OF promises made them that their
wages were not TO be reduced, and giving the
companies until the oath OF Dec ember, stating that
unless their demands were acceded to there would
be a general strike. The companies complained OF
the tightness or the money market, endeavoring
to reason by telling the engineers and firemen that
other corporations had been. forced to reduce
wages. But nothing would do but full pay or quit.
secret meeting was held December "a, attended
by all engineers and nremen residing in this city,
at which the following resolution was passed.
That we. engineers and fremen OF roads
managed by the Pennsylvania Central Com,
Ipany west OF Plttsburg, having notified SAID man

ber, at twelve NJ, refuse to run any engine save
those having lett stations before the hour namea-
Managers superiniendents and other offcials,
feeling determined to crush anything of the hind,
little thought the result would be so serious. On
the morning OF the goth here and there groups of
engineers and. fremen were seen hanging
round the depot looking very wise. but
saying nothing. The railroad officials,
on the qut psce, looked nervous, but
hid their fears from view. Twelve O'Clock came.
Tne train from Cincinnati arrived. Passengers
going East purchased tickets. The time arrived
for starting. Engineers commenced yelling,
nremen sraled. fdgety passengers inquired
"wny the trsin. did not startS" Then the news
burst upon all that the engineers strike was no
joke, but reality. All the trains had stopped.
None had left since morning. The Baltimore and
