Police have been massed at the various
station houses, all prepared to respond to
any alarm. The passenger trains on the
Little Miami s. Indianapolis road are run
ming as usual, but no freight trains. A
mass meeting of workingmen is called to
meet at the depOts at Z a. m. Tuesday
morning; and the condition of affairs is
critical
COLUMBUS, O., July 23-The mob which
aided private establishments to-day and
closed up nearly all the rolling mill shops
and factories on the west side of the river
was not composed of railroad men, but of
tramps, miners and idle roughs
who seem to have but re-
Gently come te the city. No violence was
offered by the mob as the operatives quit
demand in almost every case. Protests
were made, but the invariable reply was
''shut up or burn up" The striking men
deny any connection with the raid on the
shops, and say they are not responsible
for the action Of the mob There is much
excitement in the city Fears are enter
| tanned OF excuses by the mob and war
| rants were issued this afternoon. Rail-
road officials have ordered their shops to
be closed and no freight received for the
present, and business is somewhat embar-
raised in consequence. The mayor has
issued proclamation calling on citizens
to avoid forming crowds and warning all
rioters that they will be vigorously pun
ished. Special policemen are being en-
rolled to the number of several hundreds,
to act in case of emergency.
The following official manifesto ex-
plains the position of the company:
ERIE RAILWAY COMPANY,
RECEIVERS OFFICE.
General Order-The receiver fully ap-
preciates the fidelity of his officers, agents
and men who have remained true to their
duty in the present emergency and such
| fidelity will not fail to be properly recog-
nized. No compromise will be made with
, and no concessions will be made to those
misguided men who are, or have been, or
/ may be false to their trusts and violators Of
: law, and all persons are warned that no one
: has the right to represent or speak for the
receiver except his regular officers. Any
b other person pretending to DO so is an i'm
] poster The receiver is induced to believe
g that the large majority of employees now
il neglecting their duty are acting under
Y the coercion and terror of lawless and des-
], perate men, most Of whom are strangers
e and have never been in his service. All
o well disposed employees will be protected.
V S. J. JEwETT, Receiver.
