NEWARK. o., July 2l-10 A. M.-Great
excitement prevails here now. Four
military companies sent by Gov. Young,
about one hundred and seventy In all,
are stationed In the depot yards to guard
train about to be sent out. Citizens
by hundreds have gathered as near the
scene Of action as the police will allow.
A terrible accident has just happened.
The passenger walk on the outside OF
the railroad bridge over the creek be-
tween East aud West Newark broke
down, causing some twelve or thirteen
people to fall below u distance of twenty
feet. Some four or five are badly hurt,
three seriously.
1t is expected that serious trouble
will take place between the soldiers and
strikers to-day.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 21.-Nothing
new has taken place with regard to the
strike on the Erie Railroad, nor do the
Ulcers of the Buffalo Division antici-
pate any trouble with their employees.
Every man is at his post awaiting orders
to move the trains. The Seventy fourth
Regiment has not received any orders
up to this time.
ELMIRA, N. Y, July 21.-Everything
is quiet here. No trains are running on
the Western Diylsion, and 1t is thought
that the employees OF the Susquehanna
Division will strike this morning. All
through passengers for the West have
been transferred here to the Northern
Central Railroad, which connects with
the New York Central at Canandaigua.
The idea prevails that the officials at
New York had no intimation of the
strike until IL occurred. The public
sympathy GENERALLY seems to be with
the employees.

PITTsBURG, July 21-9 A. M.-The stu
alton among the strikers remains un-
changed, although the men seem more
determined than ever, having received
large accessions from the idle mill hands,
who say they will stand by the strikers
to the last. Adjutant General Latta ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon,
and, after advising with General Pear
son and the railroad officials and taking
a view OF the situation, last evening
tie elegraphed General Brenton at Phila-
delphia, ordering his entire division to
proceed at once to the scene OF action.
Accordingly, the following troops are
expected to arrive in the city to-day :
First, Second, Third and Fourth Regi-
ments, Keystone Battery, City Troop,
Winnacoe Legion, and lnvincibles, num-
| bering about two thousand.
The Fourth Regiment was quartere d
las t night night in the Union depot, as
was also JEFF ,rson's cavalry. Hutchin-
sons Battery was stationed on hill
overlooking the entire. field of action
The Eighteenth Regiment was sta
| toned al East Liberty Stock-yards and
Torren's Station during the night. With
| the exception ofa few struggling strlE-
ers and soldiers, everything was COM
paratively quiet alter such AN exciting
day. Gen. Pearson, during speech
yesterday to the strikers, remarked that
he would take train through by day
light, he himself accO mpanying it, but it
was not successful, the train being
stopped at Twenty-e eighth street, the en-
gineer taken OF and the tram side
tracked.
The strikers seem very orderly, but
very determined, and say II the worst
comes they will fight till death. Gen.
Pearson and Col. Guthrie have both
been threatened with death for taking
such prominent part against them
The sympathies OF almost the entire pop
Iati ia
working classes are very open In their
expressions of friendship for the
strikers and denunciation OF the author
tiles, both civil and military. 1t is re
ported that prominent flour merchant
| told the strikers if they needed -four
that he had $4,000 worth at their dis
posal. THIS gentleman has been war
ring the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany for several years on discrimina-
tion in freight, and it is well known that
he would spend thousands of dollars to
see the Company beaten.
The Fort Wayne u Chicago men went
out yesterday afternoon III Allegheny
City, and all last night the excitement
ran nigh in that direction. Mill hands
and their wives brought the strik ers
coffee and bread, urging them to stay
out all night to prevent trains from
leaving.
Mayor Phillips, Cuiet R,ss and
the entire police force were
at the yards the greater por-
tion Of the night. Meetings again
held last night AZ severa! places in this
city. The Allegheny Valley 60 out to-
day and it is expected the Panhandle
will follow. Thls will. leave the CITY
without an outlet east and west. The
Pennsylvania Central we're making an
effort last evening to sell about one nun
dred cars OF perisnaOle freight but were
only moderately successful, disposing Of
a few cars Of beef, &c, to local merchants,
while hundreds oI cars OF stock, fresh
| beeI, merchandise, ice, &c., are lying on
the side tracks extending tor a mile and
hall unable TO be moved. A great
amount OF this freignt will be lost. IL is
expected there will be hot work to-day
as the men swear no trains shall be
moved.
In This Ciuy.
All is gu ct To-day IN railroad circles
in this city, and hopes are entertained
that nothing will occur to cause any ap-
prehension. A call was made to the
headquarters OF the different roads by a
STAR reporter this morning but nothing
OF special Importance was learned,
save the fact that quiet prevails.
