Yesterday the situation OF affairs
changed hut little. We propose to
give the events as they occur, with the
SAME impartiality to both sides that
has characterized our course ever since
the beginning OF the trouble. Our re-
porter in his rounds, collected the fol-
lowing In regard to the situation.
AZ the depots, all is quiet and order
ly, the railroad men behaving with
the greatest decorum. Yesterday morn.
ing the switch engine stopped running,
and no trains left Dallas on the Texas
and Pacific, during the day, up to the
present writing. No. 3, the passenger
train from the east, was abandoned
and did not come in, but the regular
mail train has LOT been interfereC
with.
Agent Gaines, Of the Central road
desired to run his yard engine on the
Pacific track to the elevator and get
some cars which were loaded with
wheat, but the men of the Texas and
Pacific railroad at tho union depot
learning this fact, spiked the switch
rail. This etiectually prevented the
engine from getting on to the Texas
and Pacific track, but did not interfere
with the main track of the Central in
the least. 1t was done quietly.
1t WAS reported during the day that
the workmen In Hoffman Il Garsides'
foundry had also struck. This proved
to be an idle Iumor, as the fact Is
authoritatively denied by the propric-
tors In card explaining the situation,
published elsewhere In this issue, and
to which we direct the Attentions OF our
readers.
From those who claim to know,
there are now eleven hundred railroad
men in Marshall. A grand conven.
ton was held there yesterday and rep
resentatives from the different depart
menis were present. kilograms were
sent TO all tho agents and operators
along the line, notifying them II they
wish TO derive any benefits from the
stand taken, they must come on at
once and press their claims. A dis
patch was received here by two con-
ductors from Conductor Beagles, who
represents that class, telling them that
an issue had been made, and to govern
themselves accordingly.
SO far everything is quiet on the
Central road. No indications of a
strike are to be found, and we sim
cerely hope there will be none.
Yesterday afternoon rumor was
afloat that the depot buildings at Fort
Worth were on fire aud the flames
were extending to adjacent buildings.
The rumor was started by saddler
from that place, who came to Mr..
Morrow's place of business, on Elm
street, aud read to HIN, Ia presence OF
others, what purported to be telegram
from Fort WORTH to that effect Mr..
Morrow having at once telegraphed
over there for details, our reporter
made inquiries Of the railroad officials
who assured him there was not par
,icle Of truth in the whole affair.
TIE HERALD cannot but reiterate
the sentiments expressed yesterday re.
garding the action Of the Texas and
Pacific men. So far their conduct
has been marked by the sirictest deco
rum aud a general good behavior,
which promises that II will be con-
tinued. The men have made an issue
with their company and are quietly at
work trying to reach an understand
ing By holding convention and APP
pointing their representatives. That
they have made a proposition TO the
company there can be no doubt, but
what the proposition is exactly, we
have not yet learned. We sincerely
hope, however, that an amicable ar
rangement will he effected at once.
