RAILROAD STRIKES.
The strike ON the ohio and Missis-
sippi serious and Threatening.

CINCINNATI, August 1l.-The situa-
ton along the line of the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad is practically un-
changed. At North Vernon several
strikers are holding the freight trains
on both the main line and the Louis.
vile branch. AT Vincennes no freight
trains have been allowed to move, the
strikers having full possession of the
track. The Sheriff made two appeals
to Governor Hendricks for force to
restore order, saying lac was unable
without material aid to keep the peace.
The Governor is expected at Indianap-
oils tonight, when, it is believed, some
decisive measures will be inaugurated.
The employees at Flora, Illinois, on
the Western Division, struck this
morning, The railroad authorities APP
piled to Governor Beverage to pre-
serve the peace, and he at once tele-
graphed to the sheriff of that county
to arrest any and all persons engaged
in stopping the trains, and II the
sheriff was unable to do so, the Gov
ernor would send guard Of one hun
dred men to assist him, and a company
OF State troops were placed In readi-
ness, awaiting further advices.
The 81. Louis special police were
taken from Lawrenceville, Ills, to
Flora to-day and sworn in by the
sheriff at the latter place, and have ar
rested severa! ringleaders, who will be
taken to Clay county Jail at once. 1t
is believed this prompt action will
prevent further trouble in that locality.
The strikers held meeting at Vim
cennes this afternoon, and the COM
mittee which had been appointed TO
wait upon Superintendent Waldron

THE FIG rex TRICK.
How IL Is Played ON ImmiGran,s.

How IL IN Played on ImmiKrants,
Mr.. NJ. c. Hangerford, OF Clinton,
Jones county, Georgia, and Mr.. A. G.
Williams, stopping at the Pacific hotel,
who came In on the Texas and Pacific
train last night at 1890, from Georgia,
called at The HERALD office and
made the following statement. That
the man who sells newspapers and
fruit on that train swindled o country
boy emigrant, about eighteen years
old, out Of five dollars In this way.
He sat down by him with a basket OF
dried figs In his lap. He then selected
three boxes and pulling out twenty
five dollars, which he counted out,
folded 1t up aud put 1t in one Of the
boxes. Then he shut up all three
boxes and shuffled them. Shuffilng
the twenty-five dollar box into his
basket and dexterously replacing Il
with one out OF the basket. "Now,"
said he "what will you give me for
chance"
The boy said he didn't want any
chance. The man then said, "just give
FIVE dollars, being as 1t Is you, and you
can make twenty-five dollars easy
enough" The greeny gave him the
five dollars, and the boxes were
opened, and, Of course, there was no
twenty-five dollars. Some of the pas
sengers, who witnessed It, complained
to the Conductor. Mr.. g. l.. Thorn,
who said he would see about 1t, but
who paid no attention to 1t until the
train arrived, when he walked through
the train, and reported the news and
fruit man gone. The passengers had
told him they intended to complain to
Colonel Tom Scott, President Of the
road.
Mr.. Hungerford's and Mr.. Williams
address can be had ut this office. II
there are any confidence performances
going on on this road, the officers
should look into and remedy 1t, as 1t is
calculated to iDjure the road. The
gentlemen who made this statement
and charge, declare their intention of
writing back to the leading papers of
Georgia full account OF their expert
ence, and warning their smigrant
friends not to come by the Texas and
Pacific road. Weare satisfied that the
officers of the road will at once look
into and punish all such practices AZ
are complained of, and will see that
they are not repeated, and that con-
ductors are given special instructions
relative to the protection Of immi-
grants, and required to arrest conf
dence men or boys found on the train.

MANCHESTER, August l4.-The Guar

acceptance of the privy seal has oc-
casioned almost as much surprise rs
his elevation to the peerage. The OBJ
ject Is to cause him to fall back upon
the post, il 1t should prove that his
health Is. not strong enough to lead In
the Hoase of Lords at its next session.
1t is expected that the title of Earl of
Beaucontield will be supplemented by
those of Viscount Huhenden and
Baron Disraeli.
EDINBURGH, August lathe Scotch
man says: "a trustworthy correspon-
dent informs us Disratl's elevation to

his resignation of the premiership;
not now, but before the beginning Of

1t Is proper to say the accuracy of

ST.. PAUL, Minnesota, August IA
Pioneer Press special from the Sioux
expedition says: Preparations are at
last complete, and we march at day
break Tomorrow, the route being up
the Rosebud, and the objective points
the Indians, wherever and whenever
they may be found primarily. We
expect to effect junction with Gen
eral Crook, but no deviation from our
main object will be made for that pur-
pose. Sickness IL showing itself
among the men, with u tendency to
scurvy, and that which Is to be done
must be done soon. The weather Is
hot, the mercury indicating to-day,
from 1903 to lis In the shade. General
Terry's force, exclusive of the depot
guard, consists Of nine hundred and
nineteen infantry, five hundred and
seventy-fonr cavalry, forty artillery
and seyenty-four Grow and Rec In
dams. The organization of the
command ID shown by fol-
lowing extract from general order
No. z; "Proops in the field to be Or
ga lied for the coming movement as
follows: The battalion OF Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh and Twenty-second in
fantry will constitute a brigade, under
the command Of Colonel Gibbon, of
the Seventh infantry. The battalion
of the Second and Seventh cavalry,
battery Of artillery and Indian scouts,
will report directly to the department
OF the commander" One of the most
formidableditllculties to be anticipated
on this march is want OF water and
grass. There has been no rain for
many weeks and the Rosebud contains
very little water at its mouth, and 1t
is feared the grass which has sur
vived the drought has been burned by
the Indians.
LAWRENCE, KS, August l4.-The
Journal tomorrow publishes an ac-
count of the Custer battle, as reported
by Agent Miles to Superintendent
Nicholson. 1t Is strictly the Indian
version of the story, though 1t agrees
in important particulars with that Of
the military. The Indians are said to
have had forty men to Custers one.
