BREAD OR BLOOD.

CINCINNATI, o, August 1.-THE si,ua-
ton along the line Of the'Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railroad, is unchanged. At Norih
Vernon, several OF the strikers are holding
freight trains on both the main line and the
Louisville branch. At Nincennes no freight
trains have been allowed to move East or
West, the strikers having full possession Of
the track. The Sheriff has made two ap
peals to Gov. Hendricks for force to re-
store order, saying he was unable, without
aid. to keep the peace. Gov. Hendricks
il expected to arrive at Indianapolis to-
night, when some decisive action will be
taken.
The employees at Flora, ILL.,, on the West
ern division, struck this morning. The rail-
road authorities applied to Gov. Beveridge
to preserve peace, and he at once tele
graphed to the Sheriff OF that county to
arrest any and all persons engaged in stop
ping trains, and if the Sheriff was unable
to do so. the Governor would send a guard
OF one hundred men to assist him, and a
company of State troops were placed in
readiness awaiting further adyices.
The st. Louis special police were taken
from Lawrenceville, Ill to Flora to-day,
sworn in by the Sheriff at the latter place,
and have arrested several OF the ring lead
era, who will be taken to the Clay county
Jail, at once. 1t Is believed that thus prompt
action will prevent further trouble in that
locality.
AThe strikers held meeting at Vincennes
this afternoon, and committee which had
been appointed TO wait on Superintendent
Waldron with their proposition, made their
report. The proposition was in effect that
the men be paid in full the two months
wages now due, and retained in the employ
of the company regardless OF the strike
The reply was that the company was not
able to meet the first part of their demand,
but were willing to pay the June wages in
cash and give checks for the balance, paya-
bic in September. This was not deemed
satisfactory, and was declined.
