The engineers strike continued on the goth,
and outrages are reported as having been
perpetrated by strikers at several points on the
line OF railroads. 1t is stated that at Indian
apolis on the morning of the Goth, dozen
men went to the engine house of the jefferson
vile, Madison 4 Indianapolis Railroad. One
helda revolver to the head of the Waterman, and
the Others broke up and disabled nine engines.
One Pam Handle engine standing unattended
was started bya striker, resulting in its wreck.
Columbus (Ohio) telegram of the goth says
the railway authorities thought the strike
must break before many days, and on the other
hand a visit to the rooms of the Brotherhood
Of Engineers showed them to be as determined
as ever. They said Chief Engineer Wilson's
order had no effect on them.
The local division ut indianapolis of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
has issued card in which they
say they are not willing to stand
idle and see their good name furnished by
the base representations of those arrayed
against them; that many acts of violence had
been perpetrated which they emphatically
deprecated, no matter by whom committed;
that they had endeavored to discover the
perpetrators, and could not. The perpetrators
do not belong to the Brotherhood, and it was
believed the Outrages were committed by men
hired to blacken the good name of the men,
| bers of the Brotherhood and weaken their
cause by carrying them on and charging them
| to the strikers.

more than ordinary atts1f i ceases to attract
officials arc congratulating themsseeffs railway
the cloud which cast such threatening
shadows over them has been finally
dispelled. The strikers on all the Western
lines have gained their point, and all
orders announcing q reduction of their nav
have been rescinded. The disturbance has
had its effect, too, on the lines that contem.
plated reduction, and now the managers of all
the lines, except the Michigan Southern, state
| that rather than the Inconvenience of strike
should be allowed, they viii not think of
reduction at present, cautiously re-
serving the right to do as they please
In the future. The Pan-Handle Road still
carries on its warfare against the strikers, and
its officers have determined to have nothing
to do In the future with the recalcitrant en-.
gineers. This road Is employing competent
men from sources other than the Brother
