Russiane being successful in the beginning and
capturipg the first line of redoubts. They " ere
defeated in their attacks on the second line
when the Turks assumed tho aggressive and
recaptured their first line. The fighting WAS
desperate aud the losses immense. The Rus
slams were finally compelled to retreat and the
Baebi Bazooks took possession of the field
after nIghtfaIl and are said to have killed ali

the strikers have gone to work at old rate6. On
other roads, however, the trains are being run
oy new hands, the old employees refusing to
work at the reduced rates. The only place
where there was any difficulty was at Scranton,
