SOUTH BEND, Ind, Jan. .13-The reduction
o. wages at the Oliver Plow Works after the
election resulted in a strike yesterday
afternoon, when the company would not
sccede to the laborers request to increase
the wages % per cent on the present scale.
The strikers compelled all the laborers to
Quit work yesterday, and early this morning
they assembled around the gates of the tac-
tory, armed with clubs, and refused to
permit any one to resume work. In the
course OF the excitement shots were fred at
the mob by the gate Keeper, a Constable and

RAILROAD STRIKERS.
They Put a Stop to "Double-Headers"
on the Pittsburg and Fort
Wayne Road.

FoRr WAYNE, Jan. Is The Pittsburg,
Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company
few days since inauguIsted what is known
as the double-he system of sending out
their freight trains; that is attaching two
locomotives to double the usual number
of cars en- each train and sending the train
out " der the charge OF one conductor
and three brskemen. This dispensed with
the services of one conductor aud
one brakeman to each double header.
About fifty brakemen were discharged
and several conductors were reduced to
the ranks of brskemen. About p. m. to-
day large number Of men collected at the
depot and boarded freight train No. 73
west-bound, double headed. pulled the
coupling pins and refused to allow the men
in charge OF the train 10 replace them, The
train was coupled up, however and allowed
to go to the junction of the Grand Rapids
and Indiana and the Pit;sburg Road, mile
from the city, where the pins were again
pulled and thrown into the river and the
train was left standing on the main track,
where it now stands. The second sec
ton of train No. 73 vas treated
in like manner, and stands
Just behind the first section. The fires were
rsked from the sngines attached TO both
trains by the strikers, and they refused to
allow the men, under the supervision OF the
company's officials, to do anything towards
getting the trsins in motion. All switches
at the east yards, from whence all freight
trains of the PittsOurg Road and Grand
Rapids and Indiana start. have been spiked
down solidly, and the strikers put to
guard them. Train No. 72 ca st-
bound from Chicsgo, was stopped by
the strikers at Pierceton, twenty-five miles
west of here this evening, and the pins
pulled. The train was sidetracked, where
1t now stands. Superintendent Law is ex-
pected here tonight from Chicago. The
strikers will submit their grievance to him
To morrow st 8 q. M. when il is supposed
some action will be taken. The strikers ap-
peal uuiet but very determined. Serious
trouble is feared unless an understanding
is arrived at.

THE ALABAMA CYCLONE.
The Terrible Details of the Destructive
Wind and Rain-stOrm in Alabama.

CHATTANOOGA. Jan. 3--A special to the
Times from CoIlinsville gives fuller details
of the terrible Alabama cyclone. About
four miles west of Coilinsville the residence
of Noble Galbresth together with all his
farm houses, located at Base Sand Moun-
tail, was completely demolished. His
youngest ch Id was instantly killed by aF-
Ing timbeIs. Its body vas terribly mang,ed.
4 young man living with the family was
seriously and probably fatally wounded.
The family mad retired about an hour be.
fore. No other member of the family re-
oeived any injury. Every article OF house
hold goods was blown away, net leaving
wearing apparel for the grief stricken
tLat an anvil in a blacksmith shop near by
was blown 100 yards. Great damage TO
ether property in the neighbort ood Is re-
ported. Some three miles farther of two
other residences were completely blown
away. In one of them there were thirteen
occupants, all of whom received more or less
injury, but none are as yet reported fatal.
Great damage is reported TO farm property
generally. Owing to the high waters it is i'm
possible to obtain accurate information as to
the true extent and injury OF the cyclone,
but enough has been ascertained to report
that while it was fearfUlly disastrous it is
by no means such q terrible scourge as the
famous cyclone which passed through
Cherokee and Calhoun Counties last night
During all OF yesterday and the greater part
of last night tremendously heavy rain fell,
flooding all the streams and low lauds
and Masking it almost impossi-
bic TO travel or get information.
The fearful cloud which accompanied
the wind was seen from this place and
looked hideous indeed. There was q contin-
uous roaring in the elements, like distant
thunder, for some thirty minutes before the
wind passed. One family became frightened
before the tempest approached and ran to q
neighboriDg house q short distancs away,
which was blown away, while their own
hyuse, from which they had fed, remained
Standing. The track of the cyclone was
about 200 yards wide

was asked whether he was wounded
al Chicamauga He answered he was, and
thereupon the War Department went
through transformation scene and the re-
port of the various commanders were
brought in here to contradict him. The re-
ports OF Generals were brought in here.
Something l could not get il my life we're at
stake. TIE War Department usually con-
siders these records sacred, but for the pur-
p0se Of furnishing the record Of soldier
they are forthcoming" He said also. II DO
not object TO this witness testimony becau e
of any fear that after the midaight
interview which he had in the War Depart
ment, he may testify TO anything that will
harm nay client"
Judge Shellsbarger said this attempt
on the part of the prosecution furnished q
spectacle that the records of the court
should not show to the country, spectacle
of the prosecution trying to rob an officer of
his military record, which, he said, should
excite in the mind OF any honest man feel
ipgs OF unuttersble and inexpiessible insig.
patton.
The testimony sought to be given was not
allowed, and the other proceedings were un-
interesting.

A Poor Outlook for West Point Cadets.
Special 20 the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The cadets at the
West Point Military Academy are beco
ing frightened at the future that lies before
them. There is 10 place to put them after
they graduate. The Lieutena0cies are
filed, and they fear they must
resign as soon as they leave
the academy. There is no provision
of law for placing them anywhere
from whence they may be called when va
cancies do occur, and they have petitioned
Congress to legislate ranks for them.
Under the present stinted support o. the
army and navy the places as cadets in the
West Point and Annapolis military and naval
academies ere not very envisble. They
amount to little more than al education at
the expense of the Government, and the
discipline is so severe that most young men
prefer maintaining themselves at private
schools by night work.
