MORE TALK OF AN ENGINEERS STRIKE
A dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, says
that there is much talk of the proposed
strike of engineers, firemen, and trainmer
all along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Road and its branches, The engineers say

opinion from them. The railroad officials
at that point are also non-committal, and

There is reason to believe that there is more
in the reports than idle rumor, from the
fact that troops are being concentrated at
various points on the line. Three compan-
les OF militia passed through Columbus
yesterday, en- route for Newark, there be-
ing five companies there already.
