nation received here states that the strike
is general all along the Chicago & Canada
Southern main line and the Toledo & De
troit divisions
A MEETING WAS HELD
at Crosse Island last night, at which NJ. d.
Woodford, division superintendent, was
present and addressed the meeting. Reso-
lutions were adopted demanding that
the company restore wages to the same
standard they were before the recent
reduction, establish a regular pay day and
Immediately advance the three months back
pay now due. Speeches were made advising
the men to keep cool

NEW YORK ITEMS.
New York, July 24-The Times says
committee of railroad laborers employed in
the New York Central repair yard yester-
day afternoon, waited upon Superintendent
Toucey in relation to the ten per cent. re-
duction made in their wages, and were as
sured by him that the reduction would be
restored at the end of the month, and COM
mittee reported this information at the yard
last evening and this probably had the effect
of keeping things quiet. All freight trains
were made up and left without any disturb
ance, and everything went on in its usual
routine.
A Times reporter interviewed VIM. II.
Vanderbilt at Saratoga yesterday. He ex-
pressed great confidence in the men of the
n. Y. Central road, and believed they would
fight for the road rather than against it. He
would run trains long as he was protected.
In regard to the Lake Shore road he said
the demands made for the restoration of for
mer rates ofwages were not to be entertained
for a moment. The owners of the road
could not consent to let employees manage
it. There is a great principle involved in
this matter, said Vanderbilt, and we cannot
afford to yield and the country cannot afford
to have us yield.

SHARP FIGHTING.
London, July 24-There are indications
of sharp fighting before Rustchuk. A sue
cessful movement in that direction would
place the Russians between Adrianople and

THE NEW CANVASS OF VOTES.

| AhE< NEW SANN ASS VE NOIESs
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 2S.-The report
of a majority Of the canvassing board
in answer to the writ of the Supreme
Court, was filed to-day. It gives the
same figures that were telegraphed
last night, and arrives at the result by
throwing out Clay county and adopt
ing the county judges return in Ba.
ker county. The Supreme Court did
not meet to-day. Two of the justices
reside in Jacksonville, and Ex-Attor-
ney General Williams and Gen. Wal
lace went to see Justice Westcott this
afternoon to get him to request the
attendance Of the two absent Justices.
They will most probably consent, and
Court will be held in day or two to
act on the return of the board.
Attorney General Cooke filed his
protest to-day against the action of
a majority of the board in regard to
Clay and Baker counties.
Everything indicates speedy 30
luton of difficulties here. The Court
will either accept the present return
or require the two counties to be re-
canvassed, which will only require a
few moments.
HURRAH FOR FLORIDA.
New YORK, Dec. ga Times
special from Jacksonville says the
Senate committee continued its inqui-
ry into the conduct OF the election in
Columbia to-day. The members Of
the committee say that the evidence
already taken far more than sustains
all that has been alleged by the Re-
publicans concerning the frauds COM
mitted by the Democrats, and that in
stead of Hayes majority being 1000
or thcreabouts, the Republican Ma
tional and State tickets have on the
face of the vote $500 to 5000 majori-
ty in the State.

Death Of tx Senator plve.

A COURIER dispatch to-day an
nounces the death of Gen. James w.
Nye, at the White Plains lunatic asy-
lum, the same place where Horace
Greeley dice.
Gen. Nyc was native of New York
City, and an old time democratic pol
itician. When the republican party
was organized Gen. Nye left his old
affiliations and became q prominent
leader of the new organization. When
Mr.. Lincoln was elected he appointed
Gen. Nye Governor of the new Terri
tory of Nevada, and when that State
was admitted he was elected United
States Senator, w. M. Stewart, SON
in-law Of "Hangman" Foote, being
the other one. lie failed Of a rc-elec-
tion, the millionaire Bonanza miner
Jones succeeding him. He acquired
his military title in connection with
the New York State militia. As q
stump speaker he was equal to Tom
Corwin or Bob Ingersoll, and in the
Senate he was a frequent and always
an interesting debater, his efforts,
being more generally di-
rectcd to the galleries and the coun-
try than to the question at issue or to
the Senate. Hc was man of mag
nificent personal presence, great kind
ness Of heart and geniality of man
ncrs, and consequently universal
fayorite. He was attacked with soft
ening of the brain several years ago,
which has just terminated his bril-
liant life in mad-house.
