The board of trade have presented resolu-
tions recommending that arbitration should
end the Geographic strike. and that the courts
furnish adequate speed, and their aid should
be invoked unless steps are speedily taken to
remedy the present difficulties in an equitable
manner.
Affairs at the office of the Western Union
company seemed in better condition tins

Over 800 operators were at the desks, ana all
important wires are said to be fully manned.
The only DELAYS in handling business this
morning we're for points west of Buffalo and
Pittsburg, where it was reported that consld-
cradle damage had been done by the severe
storms of yesterday. In other respects the
situation is as satisfactory as the officials
could expect. The number of applications
for situations is increasing Supt. Sherman
of the Rapid Telegraph company said there
was no truth in tie rumor that the demands
of the strikers would be considered by that
company this morning. He said they were
handling without delay the business offered.

Manager Brow reports 81 operators on duty

the number estimated between go and 20
The accident was occasioned by the giving

several hundred persons were cOngregated,
awaiting the boat to return to the city. Yes

down on the barge Cockade City, towed by
the tug Amanda Powell. She made three

tween six and seven last evening, and reached
Tivoli before ten. During the day she had
taken down about 500 persons, and on her
last trip about 100.
large number who went down during the
day had remained intending to return on the
last boat. When the barge approached all

wharf, which is several hundred feet long,

gave way, ana large portion OF the croWQ
were precipitated into the water, which was
about ten feet deep. Many were able to save
themselves by fleeing towards the shore, as
the outer end of the pier crumbled and fell.
Darkness added to the confusion and terror,
and little could be done at once to save the
drowning, most of whom were men and
children. The first news of the disaster
reached this city little after two o'clock
this morning, when the barge reached Hen
derson's wharf, bringing a number of bodies
of the drowned. Up to this hour it is said 81
bodies have been discovered.
AS soon as the bodies had been deposited
on the wharf the barge went back to Tivoli,
and tefOre O'Clock this morning had re-
turned to Henderson's wharf with the second
load OF dead, numbering over 80. By this
time the news of the awful calamity had
spread throughout the city and thousands
had gathered at the wharf and in the vicin-
ity. Throughout the night many persons
fathers, brothers and friends had gathered at
the wharf where the barge usually lands
anxiously awaiting the arrival, and appre-
bending disaster when the boat did not
come at the usual time. Their fears were
realized when the facts were known. As
fast as the bodies were identified by friends
and relatives they were taken to their re-
spective homes. Unidentified bodies were
taken to the Eastern police station. The
coroner will com mence an official investiga-
ton tonight.
