The Yardmen,s Strike.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18.-A new feature in the
yardmen's strike, and one which may
lead to more serious trouble than has yet
been apprehended, was developed tonight
1t appears that five men representing the
switchmen of Kansas City, Atchison st. Joe
and Omaha arrived here to-day and circu-
lated quickly among the strikers, encourag-
ing them in their movement and stating
that if they held out two or three days
longer all the switchmen in the
places named will join them unless the
railroad companies agree to pay them
Chicago wages. 1t is further asserted by the
strikers here that the yardmen in Terre
Haute, Indianapolis, and other places east
of the Mississippi river are very uneasy and
discontented, and could be easily induced to
join the movement. The Western commit
teemen assert that the men they represent
are very determined in their purpose, and
that if the railway managers do not advance
their wages, Saturday or Monday will see
them all ont

SCARE AT HALIFAX.
A Couple of Supposed Fenian Dynamiters
Under Arrest

n couple ot supposed Fenian DynamiterS
Under Arrest
HALIFAX, N. S., Oct. 1S.-There was con-
siderable excitement in the city last evening
over the arrest of two men with large GUAM
tity of dynamite in their possession. In Nav
last information was received from Ottawa
that an attempt would probably be made by
Fenlans to destroy public property Pre-
cautions were taken by the appointment Of
extra police and other means Nothing oc-
CURED, and the matter was laughed over
About month ago Lieutenant-Sovernor
Rchey got warning from Ottawa of the de-
parture from New York, for Halifax, OF sus-
p'cious characters supposed to be connected
with the dynamite branch of the Fenian
Brotherhood. Again nothing happened.
Two men giving the names of William
Bracken and James Holmes, arrived here on
friday last and put up a the Parker House.
1t is believed they came from the States.
Ihey gave no names to the hotel people, and
paid two weeks board in advance, Detective
Power watched them and searched their
rooms in their absence, discovering dyna-
mite, which was secured. He then fOund
the men and arrested them
Both prisoners deny the charge against
them and claim the protection of the
American nag Iney are evidently Irish
Americans, and deny knowing each other.
Both are young men. Holmes was ask
ed what packages were in his valse, and re-
piled that he did not know, they did
not belong to him. One of the valises con-
tanned one hundred pounds of dynamite.
Dynamite was found in the trunk and va
lise Of Brachen. In both valises was a
small clock, and a matchmaker says that
connected with them was clock machinery
TO cause explosions. One of the weapons
found on Holmes had a wire at one end
which will ignite fuse at the other, and ex-
plode the dynamite with which it would be
connected,
