Strikers on the Warpath.
 OMAHA, May 21.-The arrival of one hun dred negroes to take the places of the strikers in the smelting works in this city created great excitement. The negroes came armed with rifles and are principally exodusters from Kansas. The strikers attempted to pre- vent the negroes from entering the works, but they covered their assailants with their arms and sailed in. As soon as the news spread the men employed in the Union Pacific railroad shops, the Omaha nail works and the Omaha white lead works quit work and joined the striking smelters making crowd of one thousand men. They held largely attended meetings on the sandbar near the works and appointed a committee to wait on the proprie- tors of the smelling works, giving them half an hour to get the negroes out or take the consequences. The proprietors refused to comply with this request. A committee was also appointed to wait on the negroes and have them join the strikers, but failed in their efforts, only few boys being induced to quit work. The strikers were addressed by Major Chase, who counselled moderation, after which the meeting adjourned and a call was issued for all labor organizations to meet at Clarkes Hall, where united action is to be agreed on. The Governor has been asked for troops to protect property, and they have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness

Remarkable Running A Runaway
 Horse Distances a Railway Train.
 BOSTON, May 21.-About o'clock Wednes- day afternoon horse attached to light wagon, standing near the Boston and Lowell freight depot in East Cambridge became frightened and disengaged himself from the vehicle with the exception of the forward running gear. He then dashed out upon the Boston and Lowell railroad, and taking the right hand track kept it all the way to West Medford, distance of five miles. How he got over the culverts and bridges hasn't been ciphered out. He left the track somewhere in West Medford, and was finally stopped in a side street. At the close of his remarkable journey he was found to be uninjured, save slight scratch upon one foot. His harness was also entire, and the forward wheels of the wagon to which he had been attached were in perfect condition to be rejoined to the portion left at East Cambridge. The ami nal had cast three shoes which was excus- able in consideration of the fact that he had distanced a train that wasn't far behind him when he started. All the above statements can be attested by many reliable witnesses who saw the escapade at various points of it's progress. The team belonged to Mr. White of Boston.

Great Faflure-Suspensiono Of the Phi1-
 adeIphia and Reading Coal and Iron
 Company.
 PHILADELPHIA, May 21.-President Gowen, of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, announced officially to-day that the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company has suspended payments as it is unable to meet it's obligations. The interest and excitement attending the announcement among the coal operators was quite as great as it was among the brokers. Leading mer- chants in the trade stood in groups along Walnut street, from Second to Fourth streets, and carried on animated discussions as to the event and it's probable effect. Every one seemed to be taken by surprise and not few were incredulous. A high official in the coal trade said that there would proba- ply be an immediate suspension of mining at the mines of the Reading Coal and Iron Con- pany. The plans of the trade will be upset he continued, but it is impossible to say what the result will be- A board of control cannot be formed, and the matter of restriction and production cannot be considered in the present emergency. As to prices nothing can be said. Indeed we are all in the dark and the extent of the calamity
  brief periods of revival, until at 2:4o o'clock it reached b Is with a generally demoralized market, closing at 15 bid
 At two o'clock this afternoon a meeting of the board of managers of the railroad com pany was called, and few minutes later majority of the members convened in Presi- dent Gowen's office Numerous visitors called and sent in their cards to Gowen, but were unable to see him. After being in ses- sion about an hour and half Secretary Humphries appeared and handed reporter the following, which he announced was the result of the meeting:
 The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company and the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company have been compelled to suspend payment. The managers will take immediate measures to protect intact the property of both companies and continue their business. For this purpose the daily revenues will be applied, so far as required, to the payment of wages and supplies. By order of the board of managers
 (Signed) FRANKLIN, B. GoWEN,
 This action of the board of managers was immediately telegraphed to various points along the line of the railroad.

 CHICAGO, May 21.-The friends of General Grant in this city are very jubilant over the action of the Springfield convention. They talk very decidedly and are now sure of his nomination at the National convention. There was a large crowd of Grants admirers at the Palmer House this afternoon. Flags were displayed on the hotel and inside were quite elaborate decorations. Among those pres ent were John Russell Young who had long consultation with Secretary Keogh of the National committee and other representa- tives. The friends of Blaine and Wsshburne do not say much, but they are greatly disap- pointed. They generally concede that no bolt can be made uow since their delegates went into the convention and pledged them selves to abide by it's action.
