of the strikers there who stop trains
and drag the crews from them, Gov

thorities have been in some cases I'M
able to deal with these bodies, aud that
the protection of citizens, and the pre-
servation of order were all important,

the lawful authorities in maintaining

sions little excitement. The Eastern
Division will not strike. Officials here

occur. Local trains are running on
time.

All the passenger and freight trains
on the Erie railroad, except on the
Falls branch, have been abandoned.
The tickets now issued will be honored
by the New York Central, and tickets
issued by the Erie road over the Allan

immediate concentration of troops on
the road will be very large, and amply
sufficient t restore and preserve rider.
The company is making arrangements
at all points TOR the protection of its
property and the safety of its men who

PITrsBURG, Pa, July 20.
The situation at the outer depot OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and at the
East Liberty stock yards, remain I'M
changed. The State militia are on the
ground, but there has been no collis-
ion. The strikers outnumber the SOL
diers three to one. No freight or stock
trains have been moved to-day. The
strike on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago road is serious, embrac-
ing all the freight crews of the East
ern Division, from P%ittsburg TO ALI
ance. Passenger traffic Is not inter-
rupted, and there has not been any
noisy demonstration. 1t Is reported
that the freight crews of the Pittsbury.
Cincinnati and st. Louis road, and the
Pan Handle route, struck at Dennison
this evening, but the report lacks con-
tirmation. Nearly the entire freight force
of the road is concentrated at that point,
having been sent there to-day to re-
move them from tie influence of the
strikers here. The Engineers Broth
erhoOd held a secret meeting to-day, at
which it was understood they would
define their position, and 1t is learned
to night from undoubted authority
hat they resolved to stand by the
strikers. The action will no impede
passenger travel. but freight engineers
will refuse to haul trains manned by
green hands, and will east their lot
with the strikers. The freight trains
which left here this evening were
stopped by a crowd of six hundred
men near Everson. Prestin Il Co.'S
rolling mills, about half a mile from
the depot, and the crews compelled to
run the trains back to the yard. The
crowd was composed Of idle men in
the city who are in sympathy with the
strikers.
ST. LOUIS, July 20.
Considerable apprehension is felt
that the strike may extend throughout
the West; o is this apprehension en-
tirely baseless, for although it is not
as yet known outside of those directly
interested, q movement is already on
foot which is likely to lead to a strike
on the lines leading east from this city.
Meetings were held yesterday at East
st. Louis and Vincennes by the fire.
men and brakemen of freight trains,
and 1t il understood it was agreed by
them that unless the wages previous
to the reduction Of 10 per cent. are re-
stored by Monday next, all the fire.
men and brakeman on the roads will
strike. A committee appointed by one
of these meetings was here to-day, and
made this statement. He also gave in
formation regarding the amount OF
money these men earn under the pres
ent rates of wages, and showed that
they do not receive enough to meet the
actual daily necessities of single men.
and married ones are of course in a
much worse condition. Noon, Mon
day, Is the time fixed for the strike to
take place, unless the demands of the
men are complied with.
BALTIMORE. July 20.
As the Sixth regiment, Col. Clarence
Peters. was marching along Baltimore
street TO Camden station, TO proceed to
Cumberland, the regiment was stoned
and fired into by q crowd on the streets,
when the regiment fired into the crowd
and a number were killed and wound
ed. The confusion and excitement is
SO great at present that it is impossible
to get at the facts now. Four dead
bodies have been taken to the Middle
District station, and a number of
wounded-six or seven-to various
drug stores.
AT midnight the Fifth regiment and
three companies Of the Sixth were still
at Camden station. Colonel Peters,
with 100 men of the Sixth regiment,
are at their armory, all under arms.
