DETERMINED TO WIN.

st. Louis, July 24.-All the passenger
and express cars for the east were stopped
this morning by strikers. One train on the
Vandalia road was allowed to go out but all
others were detained and no more will be
permitted TO leave on the Nandalia lire.
There is no interference with postal cars
They were allowed to so out on all the roads.
All cars at the Union depot, this SIDE of
the river, are being moved out of the yard
Immediately in front of the depot and have
taken up Il G roads some distance, leay,
ing the tracks at the depot Gear.
The strikers say there is no mid
die ground in this case. 1t is either
ABSOLUTE VICTORY OR DEFEAT
with them and they propose to make the
issue square and clearly defined from now
on. To effect this they will put total en-
barge on freight and passenger traffic. Their
organization increases in strength and per-
tectness hourly, but SO long as they are not
lnterfered with in their purposes to obtain
what they consider fair and just remuner-
alton for their labor, there will be no vio-
lence or disorder, but if they are forcibly
opposed, there will be trouble and plenty of
it.

THE LATEST FROM INDIANAPOLIS.
Indianapolis Ind. July q. Rumors
in circulation that the rolling mill men
had JONES the strikers aud that a fight had
occurred in the j. B. and w. outer wards
prove on examination to be not correct.
1t is probable that Judge Graham, of the
Q. S. court, will this evening or tomorrow
assert his authority over the |. C. & L. and
L. B. & w. roads, whose receivers were ap-
pointed by him, and will direct the U. S.
marshal to aid the receivers in the moving
of trains. This may bring about collision
with the strikers. So far the strikers have
not been opposed, and nothing has been at
tempted to test the extent of their determi-
nation. Therefore all is quiet.
LATEST FROM zANEsvILLE.
GAINESVILLE, o, July 24-The vigilance
committee are assisting the regular police,
who are picking up the leaders of the rab-
bic rapidly. The street cars commenced
running again at 3 O'Clock, and are now
running without interruption. 1t is hoped
all will quiet down now
