THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

JERSEY CRY, June 26.
The situation is becoming more and more
interesting. The strange spectacle is pre-
sented of a few determined men controlling
large body of the strikers, and holding in
check that spirit of lawlessness which has
shown itself on almost every similer occa-
sion. The strikers are admirably handled,
and march through the streets four abreast
This morning about 200 track men employed
by the New York, Lake Erie & Western
railroad joineds the strikers. They have
been receiving l l cents per hour or SI.lO
per day; they demand 81 so per day.
Swltchmen and brakemen employed by the
Erie Railroad Company in the yard on both
sides the Bergen Tunnel have joined the
strikers. The freight traffic of the road is at
| a standstill.
superintendent Hill says 1--WE are in the
hands of a mob. If the strikers remain
! orderly, ] do not anticipate any serious
trouble other than complete stoppage of

loss to the company; but if the strikers
should become violent, great loss
of life would ensue. and very much doubt

CHICAGO, June 26.
The clvconic storms Of the past few days
seem to have followed no particular course,
but to have dropped here and there at points
as widely separated as cities in Nebraska
and Michigan, and as Dakota Territory and
Southern Indiana. While the ravages in
Iowa have been most serious to life and
property, the aggregate losses in other parts
of the territory are very heavy.
In Nebraska yesterday morning, terrific
storm gathered in Butler county. and swept
southwest through Saunders, Lancaster. Ross
and keboma counties, doing great damage
in belt % miles in width. Two houses
were blown down in Wahso, and two-story
barn carried fifty feet through the air. A
herd of l25 ponies were swept by the storm
eight miles southwark over fields and through
wire fences. One man was kill, d and five
injured near Talmadge on the Missouri
Pacific while seeking shelter under freight
car which was hurled against them. A num-
Der of cattle were carried down stream and
drowned near Lanesboro. Many roads were
stripped of bridges and made inaccessible.
Near Lafayette, Ind. there was a terrific
water spout Saturday night, which chased a
train coming to the city a considerable dis
tance. 1t whirled rocks and immense trees
along, but spent its fury before it caught
damage in Chester township, Ohio.

A Large Humber Of Delegates Present 1t
the Convention.
LEWISTON, June 26.

LEWISTON, June 26.
There is a large number of delegates to
the democratic State convention present TO-
night. a large proportion of whom are old
liners, like Bion Bradbury of Portland, j.
F. Rawson of Bangor, Darius Alden Of
Augusta, J. II. Webster of Norridgewock,
and others. E. F. Pillsbury of Boston,
formerly of Augusta, is here. As to the
governor it is conceded that Plaisted will be
nominated by reclamation. The platform is
foresbadowed in the call. Bion Bradbury
heads powerful movement in favor OF an
old fashioned democratic platform. The
State committed selected G. F. Clifford OF
Cornish, for temporary chairman, but he has
teIegraphed that he is sick and cannot come.
All concede that Murch. Ladd and Anderson
will be nominated; on the fourth man all are
at sea- There is a decided hostility to carrying
out the programme of nominating Thing.
The old war horses say the democracy should
have at least two of the congressional can
didates. The probability is that Thing will
not be nominated. Major Belcher of Far
mington, $. j. Watts of Thomaston. Judge
Merrill of Auburn, d. X. Hastings of Frye
burg, and James Dempsey of Lewiston. are
talked Of A delegation waited on Mr.. Demp-
sey this evening and he declined to be a
candidate.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Since the last despatch there has been an
entire change in the aspect of affairs. At a
meeting of the State committee Hon. Geo.
f. Emery caused sensation by reading the
following letter from General Anderson:

DEAR SIR From information | have re.
ceived think it very probable that candi-
dates for Representative to Congress may be
selected at the convention tomorrow. also
that my name will be used in that cOnnec-
ton. If such be the case wish you as my
friend to state to the convention, whilst
fully appreciate the honor and am most CRATE
full to my friends who thought me worthy ot
it, must positively decline to be brough,
before the convention as candidate. My
business relations are such as will utterly
preclude my taking part IN the active canvas;
at the present time. My most hearty sup
port shall be given to the nominee of the
convention.
Very truly yours.
