Everything presents the appearance OF u Sunday in
New England village at Colinwood the ttio station
whore the Lake shore round house and shops
are located There are no crowds, no threats
simply the men sitting around In small groups,
arrayed In their holiday attire, talking over the
situation The men have boen anxious OF late to
have the remaining cattle cars unloaded, but
the yard master OF tho Erie division has seemed
to be very slow in doing this. They say that 1t
In cruo TO let the animals suffer- About lve hundred
and fifty cattle have already been driven to
Painsviie, and others will probably follow. A
very large number Of the animals have died. One
car, containing 1900 fowls, gives forth almost
intolerabie steuch. The dead hogs being
carted away to the soap factories, and many OF
them buried TO avoid Tho plague that must soon fol
low II the dead animal matter Is removed Great
trouble arises from insufficient ot watering the
cattle, aud scores Of them constantly dying Of
thirst There 10, OF course, much feeling against
some OF the officials Of the road the men saying
that If the officers treated them properly they
would not have complained OF the reduction.
MILITIA WANTED
Al the first meeting, held at ten A. NJ, tho pros
pects Of their propositions being acceded were fully
discussed. Tho sum Of what expressed was that
President Vanderbilt cannot exercise his power here
as he could In q monarchy. 1ns is a republic,
aud the poor shall have his rights and
his family must be supported Furthermore. there
will be no trouble at Colinwood, no fights
II the militia is kept back; but the moment
tho militia Is used in the support oi monopoly then
the aborcr Will no longer keep quiet. There Is much
feeling among tho the question OF passes.
Oue man said -"Suppose l am ordered to run NY
train down Cleveland; got ior this sixteen cents;
but l must return here to report TO my
superior, and for that l must pay my fare
OF twenty cents" lie felt that this an un-
bsarable outrage. Another grave complaint lies in
the TACT that The men are only paid while in actual
service. FOR instance, III from CoIlnW Ood
to roledo which would take a little moro than day
he would be paid Tor that; but he Is liable lilo OF
there three days without pay, although required
to ready to report for duty AT any moment In this
way tho small pay earned Is entirely absorbed
