A RAILROAD WAR.
Fight Of tho Valley Company ut Akron for
Right of Way.

Fight OF tho Valley Company nt Akron for
Right OF Way.
AKRON, o., Nov GA lively railroad
war has been In progress near Old
Forge, the district Just northeast OF the
city, for several days past. Last sum
mer the Valley Railroad Company be-
gan the running OF q switch from its
main track 10 the sewer pipe works OF
Robinson Broa,, located In the territory
named. After many hindrnncps grow.
ing out OF right ot-way complications,
the switch was recently completed.
Jnat before crossing the extension OF
Forge street, on which the sewer pit
worka are situated, the switch was for
u few roda over tho land OF Fred HorM,
u brewer. Robinson Bros. " Co had
conferred with Mr.. Horix ami effected
an understanding by which no gave The
desired right0l.way, and no even did
some grading on HIS land preparatory
to running u spur from tho switch for
hia own use.
When the railroad workers came TO
cross Mr., llorlx's land they found that II
would DO 10 their advantage to lay u
switch eight feet further upon the llorix
plat than was originally Intended, aud
did no lay II, A few days ago Mr Horix
having for some reaeon changed hls atti'
tude toward the eewer:pipe men, tore up
the track on hla land and eet u dtzen
men and teams NJ work lllllng In tho
slight cut which the railroad men had
made nj this point. The Valley road road
master, Thomas Delaney, reported TO the
officers of the road, and was Instructed
TO run n train upon the switch, aud
after replacing the tioe and rails on the
Horlx property 10 push the train down
upon the disputed territory Thla was
done ON Saturday, tho train being run
down on tho rallless earth even while
the lIorix men were NJ work upon II,
and horses NJ d men scattered In every
| direction. Rails were then laid under
the train and q strong guard stationed,
which has ever einco been holding the
fort.
Piles of sewer pipe were built up
around the pla, o for the purpose, ae on
lockers thought Of better enabling the
railroad men 10 realat bombardment
though the latter any they were simply
TO shelter the watchers from the wind
| Be that as II may, the place has Ind the
appearance OF being under seige, and
though plans were formed for dislodg'
ing the Fortress guard, no overt act was
committed, Last night tho siege wat
raised on an agreement between tht
Valley road officers aud uorlx, by which
the road geta ak months lease OF tor
ritory and trains rass aud repass ~ ue
ual. The ewitch has cost the road be-
tween &2 900 and s3 900 and an UNTOLD
amount OF trouble. One OF the lane
owners, Dennis Ryan, with shotgun II
hand, resisted twenty men who attempt
Cd TO push tho switch across The aban
doned canal bed, back OF Horlx'e land, I

A Narrow Escape.

QUEBEC, May 20.-The crew Norweg-
ian of the ship Moen, lost in a collision
with an iceberg, arrived to-day. They
report the ship having become firmly
jammed in an iceberg. The boats were
got out and twelve men got into the first
boat, which was speedily carried out of
the vessels reach. As six more of the
crew remained, another boat was got out,
but she was at once swamped and filed.
Matters had begun to look serious for
those on the vessel, when the first boat
managed to get within hailing distance,
and a line was thrown to her and she was
hauled along side. The remainder of the
crew succeeded in boarding her, except
one, Johann Roll, a native OF Denmark,
who was lost. The captain was the last
to leave the vessel and had a very narrow
escape, being precipitated into the water
a considerable distance and losing con-
sciousness. The crew, however, notwlth-
standing the darkness, managed finally to
rescue him. They had barely got clear
when a huge iceberg toppled over on the
doomed vessel, cutting her in two.

Lord Melrnnd,a Mission.

OTTAWA, May 2O.-There is a good
deal of speculation as to the cause of
Lord Melgund's return from the North
west at this particular moment. 1t is
thought he has been instructed to place
Col. Otter's conduct in the proceeding
against Poundmaker without definite or
ders, before the minister of militia. Col.
Offers instructions we're TO relieve Bat
tleford, but Gen, Middleton entertained
no idea Of his engaging the Big Cree
chief unless the Indians made an attack.
1t is also thought he is here to explain
the exact situation Of affairs in the North
west, and get further advice for Gen.
Middleton's guidance in his future ac-
tons. his original mission being merely to
suppress the half breed rebellion and to
relieve the b~eleagured places, no Indian
massacres having been reported when he
started. He is also here to ascertain
what plan Gen. Middleton shall pursue
in Furnishing the red skin depredators.
Lord Melgund will sail for England, with
Lady Melgund, on the Both inst.

SACRAMENTO, May 2O.-The Salvation
army had a grand gathering last night,
delegates being present from different
cities in the state. After a parade through
the city they went to the Sixth street
church, where it was the intention to
hold an all night prayer. While the Sal
v%ationists we're engaged in their exercise,
the church was invaded by a crowd of
several hundred men and boys, who
mobbed the S~alvationists, wrecked the
church, smashing in windows and every
thing movable. The Salvationists fed
from the building, The mob followed.
attacked them on the streets, and many
of the members, male and female, were
severely injured. The entire police force
was called out, and after some difficulty
succeeded in dispensing the mob. No ar

NEW YORK, May 2O.-The body of
Robert e. Odlum, who jumped from
Brooklyn bridge yesterday and died from
the effects, remains at the undertaker's.
An autopsy VIII be made this afternoon,
although really not needed, a scientific
examination of the body showing plainly
the of death. Five ribs were broken
on the right side, and it is said that the
heart was fatally affected by the force with
which his body struck the water.
To-day James Haggart, who accom-
panied Odlum on his mission to take the
fatal jump, was arraigned in the Brook
Ign police court on the charge of aiding
Odlum to commit an act endangering the
latter life. Another charge against him
is outraging public decency, in aiding the
act. The accused was committed to jail
without bail for examination.

make some arrests, without the slightest
opposition, their authority as government
officers being submitted to, although the
Paris people knew one of the deputies as
a thief out on bail, and another as n con-
