COLUMBUS, July 3l.--The recalling
of the military had the desired effect
upon the strikers, and few have been
seen to-day about the freight yards.
The indianapolis or Eastern division
of the p. G. Il St. Louis have not sent
out any freight trains, but freight is
now being received for shipment east
and west, and full resumption is ex-
pected tomorrow. Eleven compan-
les of militia will guard the company's
property and assist in starting off the
trains. Trouble is anticipated at
Newark tomorrow when the freights
start, but n sufficient number of mill
tary will be on the ground to quell
any disturbance that may arise.

die when within half a mile of this
city, were stopped by the strikers and
atterward run on side track and the

Instead of exporting the surplus product (gold

the extraordinary increase and excess in good

CREsroN, July 3I.-The strike at

day, four hundred employees striking

this city and no communication with
the outside world. During the en-
tire strike no violence was exhibited,
the employees guarding the company's =

thoritics in preserving peace. There
were no fights. no fires, no drunks.
Tonight, at o'clock, the differences
between the company aud the men

SCRANTON, Aug. l--At Ii 80 this
morning about 5000 men armed with
clubs and revolvers, forced all en-
ployes of the l.. ]. & G. Co., who had
returned to work after brief strike,
to desist. They then proceeded to the
car shops of the ID. l.. 81 w. Railroad,
drove the men from their posts, and
threatened to destroy the ear shops
and office. Not satisfied with this
they violently assaulted several of
of the employees both in the shops
and Office, and many of them received
painful though not dangerous iniur-
les.
Mayor Mckune fastened to the
scene. and at the same time sent word
to the volunteer organization, which
had been guarding the extensive
stores of the J.. /. a. G. Company for
a week past. The mayors arrival at
the scene of the melee, was the signal
for general attack upon him, and
but for the interposition of Father
Dunn, the Catholic Priest, he would
probably have been killed. He es.

Democratic journals, big and littl,

Democratic journals, big and little
have generally denounced all public
works. They howlcd because the
Government gave the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific railroads lot of
Hand about as valuable as the uncol-
umned air, Notwithstanding it secur-
ed those great thoroughfares and en-
ployed many thousand people in
building them. Every intelligent
newspaper reader knows that opposi-
tion to public improvements has been
chronic weakness, of the democrat
ic party from the beginning. Every
body knows that the leaders of that
party have always found some great
Constitutional objection against
building railroad or any other la
bor employing affair, unless it was
built by some one else. The public
buildings which belong to the
Federal Government and which
ornament our State capitals and
principal cities, and which arc abso-
lutely necessary for our Fedora
Courts, Post Offices, etc, have beer
built, as a rule, against the protest o
the economic and constitutional dem
ocratic party, and in spite of the fac
that their building has greatly benc
fitted the public, and especially the la
borcrs on these buildings, a full pro
portion of whom are always demo
cratic.
Every Navy Yard and public worl
has been closed wherever the demo
Gratis could shut them up by talk, an,
humbug cry for economy and reform
The entire rank and file Of tina
party joined in the recent politi
cal lunacy which stopped the buildin
ofall railroads in this country, close
the hundreds of iron mills and othe
factories which furnish railroa,
materiai, thus throwing out of en-
ployment and making paupers of q
least half a million of people.
Yet, in the face of these indispu
able facts, you will find your demo
cratic paper and your democrat
candidate for Office slipping aroun

The trouble is said to have originated
from Gould's having betrayed a COM

were interested with Gould. There
was considerable excitement on the
Stock Exchange for a few minutes,
as it was rumored Gould had been
seriously injured. t. s4 s,s.
Selover thus explains the causes
which led to the personal encounter :
