Brsk emen's Sirfke Ended.

Fort WAYNE, IND, January 10
The railroad brakcmen's strike, which
was inaugurated here Tuesday night,
terminated last evening. The strikers
held meeting yesterday and delegated
a committee of four of their number to
wait on Mayor Zollinger at his resi-
dencc. which was done. Later the COM
mittee waited on Superintendent Law,
of the railroad company, and at this
meeting it was agreed that the railroad
company be permitted to run " double
header " freight trains if desired, while
those of the striking brakemen who
choose to work will be reinstated by
the company, and not be discharged for
their participation in the strike. 1t is
understood that Mayor Zollinger prom
ised to use his influence to the end that
the warrants which were sworn out for
the arrest of strikers be not served, and
that the railroad company will not push
the matter. The chairman of the
strikers committee, who was seen by
an Associated Press representative last
night. said: 1.-THE strike was given
up because the members of the or
ganized lodges of conductors and engi-
neers, who had urged the brakemen
to strike, and who gave them promise
of moral and financial support, failed to
do as they had agreed" He said;
I'VE have destroyed no property. We
gave the company permission to ice any
or all of the cars containing perishable
freight, and even offered to do it for
them, but they did not accept the offer"
He said but few, if any, of the strikers
will 90 back to work. prefcrring to seek
employment elsewhere. The railroad
officials were very busy last night get
ting out trains of freight blockaded here
for six DAVIS mast.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Jan. 10, 1885.
Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock
three mer-Mr. Brownley, Mr.. Wells.
and Tom Boiling (coloredj-went down
to the Jail to carry the prisoners break
fast. In one of the cells were confined
four mer-Wallace and Charles Shack
elford and Sherman, charged with rob
bling old Mr.. Broadhead, and a
man named Mayo, charged with
burglary. Upon opening this cell
the prisoners gathered around Mr..
Brownley, who carried the keys
and a pistol, and while one of them
pinioned his arms another took his pis-
toll away from him. The four men de-
fled the guard, forced them into the
cell, and locked them up. They then
deliberately locked the Jail and walked
away, taking the Keys and Mr.. Brown
ley's pistol with them. Ii was some
time before the outsiders realized the
situation, thus giving the escaped pris-
oners time to get fair start. When
the condition of things became known
Mr.. Brownley and companions had to be
liberated by cutting the doors open.
About two hours subsequently parties
started in pursuit Of the escaped, but
while the pursuing parties came within a
few minutes Of them at one point near
Rio bridge, on the Earlysyille road. the
prisoners succeeded in getting into a
large laurel cliff between Rio and Hy-
draulic mills, where they might remain
an indefinite time. Under cover of the
night they of course succeeded in get
ting clear away. II is said that while
they had possession of the Jail they
offered to liberate other prisoners, some
ofwhom, though charged with felony, re-
fused to go. This event caused no lit
tie excitement and unfavorable COM
ment IN the town yesterday. The
jailer, Mr.. W. G. Wright, has been
confined to his bed for some weeks, and
these men were deputixed to attend to
his duties. No blame can possibly at
itch to him, as he is very efficient
