THE ELECTRIC MEMS sTnlKE.
The Railroad Men Ordered Ont
Whore the Attack Will be
Made.

Made.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 5-The Brother
hood of the Telegraphers have decided
to cal out the railroad operators. The
orders to that effect will go out by
telegraph at. an early hour in the
morning. Brotherhood officials say
that the anniversary of the great rail
road strike, July 10, 1877, was selected
as the date for the telegraph strike.
In pursuance of the orders issued at
least ton thousand railroad operators will
leave their desks within the next three
days
Beginning to-day the operators on the
different railroads in this country in
which Jay Gould is interested, and
those on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road will be ordered out on the strike.
The operators will not be ordered to
strike simultaneously, but will go out,
Railroad Conp,ny after Railroad COm-
pany, un II every road in the two great
systems, as well as connections, con-
trolled bv Gould and Garrett, will be
deprived of their telegraph service The
number of telegraphers on the roads in
question 1t is estimated amounts to sew
en- thousand men.
The other railroads in the country
outside of the two systems mentioned,
are held under advisement All the
telegraphers of the roads named will be
called out by Wednesday evening. The
first road to be affected will be the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western, on
which it is claimed the operators are
perfectly organized. The locomotive
engineers on the Wabash and the Balti-
more and Ohio roads have informed
the Brotherhood of Telegraphers that
while they, as a body, have no direct
grievance, they will go out on strife
when called on, if it should become
necessary to do so in order to enable the
operators to win the fight.

For the Republican.
President Crozler, of" We the peo-
pie, states that Marshal McMullen
has kindly consented to contribute the
Diamond State mammoth potato to con-
struct fish balls for the next widows
and orphans excursion down the bay
on the Betsy Ann. President ,CrOzier
states that when he first read of the
mammoth potato, lie was disposed to dis
credit the story, as regards its immense
proportions, but after he had viewed the
specimen and consulted with the Mar
shall in ref renee to transportation to
this city of this enormous specimen OF
potato, he was heard to say, (Like
the Queen of Sheba said of Solomon
when she had beheld him in all his
greatness and had herself tried and
proved the assertions concerning this
wonderful man,
"rhe half had never been told me. -
President Crozier states that it was
with great difficulty that the Marshal
and ten of his men rolled this NAM
moth potato up an inclined plane into
his carriage, and that small portion
had to be chopped off one end Of
it with an axe, to get it in between the
sides of the wagon. 1t was the Mar
shals s intention to have left this huge
specimen at the REPUBLICAN, office on
exhibition for q few days, but on arriv-
ing in front of the office at a late hour,
the Marshal concluded that there was
not sufficient help around TO get it into
The office, and sent a boy around to hunt
up Mr.. Feaster, the rigger, to see if he
would construct derrick for that pur-
pose, but unfortunately Mr.. Feaster
could not be found.
Mr.. Hersey, of the REPuBLICAN,
came up in the meantime, and said
whilst he would cheerfully give the
Marshal a good space in the RErUBLI'
CAN. as a puff on big potatoes, he really
did not see how room could be spared
in the editorial department to stow the
monster and if it should he rolled into
his room he was fearful that the addi-
rional weight placed on the floor
would render the building unsafe.
The Marshal said he was sorry, but he
thought that Mr.. Hersey's point was
well taken, and he then concluded to
send for President Crozier and have his
men chop it up with ali axe, so that il
could be put into President Crozier's
five barrel soup pot to be cooked up to
make fish balls for the widows and or.
phans. WE THE PEOPLE.
