CINCINNATI, July 24--1.55 A. NJ
The situation here tonight is very
grave. There is feeling as if th,
city were on the verge OF a volcano
Two of the principal railway dcpoti
are in possession of crowds. No tainl
are running on the Ohio and Missis
sippi road, and there is general agree
ment among the companies that none
shall be attempted where the strikers
offer objections. Efforts will be made
to avoid general outbreak. The
crowd that has assumed control at the
indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayett,
depot is not composed of strikers al
all, or even Of railroad men, but o
unemployed laborers and roughs. An
attempt has just been made to burr
the railroad bridge over Mill creek
and it is feared that before night i.
over there will be serious work. A
meeting Of workingmen is called foi
tomorrow morning at o'clock, to
consider the situation. The announce
ment is made ON blood-red posters. Ii
is not so much the striking raiiroaders
who are feared here as large element
of unemployed and vicious men who
only need signal TO come out of their
homes and join the desperate under.
