FoRT WAYNE, Jan. 15.-There is practically
nothing new concerning the strike on the Fort
Wayne road. The company has not yet sue
ceeded hs moving single freight train, and
both sid6s remain firm. but the situation is be-
coming more strained hourly Superin-
teLdent Law has sworn out FIVE affidavits
for arrest of prominent strikers, under
section 2l27, Revised Statutes of 1881, referring
to impeding of railroad travel The warrants
are in the hands of the city marshal, but the
men have not yet been found 1t is rumored to-
night that the iiremen will hold a meeting to-
morrow night to determine whether or not to
join the strikers with whom they are in avowed
sympathy. So far personal violence has been
done The strikers have taken possession of a
coach and caboose. The coach is used as head
quarters, and the caboose as prison, in which
are placed strikers who may become intoxicated
the arrests being made by police force organ
lied among themselves. This is done in order
that drunken strikers may not divulge the plans

far, been of little service in aid of the company
who are positively helpless.

the city authorities protection for their proper

that he would make no attempt to enforce the
law against the strikers unless the authorities
increased his force to seventy-five men

Arrests Exnected To-Day.

To the Western Associated Press.
Fort WAYNE. Jan. 15.--Up. to late hour to-
night the situation as regards the striking rail
road brakemen in this city remains practically
unchanged. No movement has been made to-
day looking toward movement of freight
rains. The strikers hold absolute sway over
the yards of the Pittsburg and the Grand Rapids
81 Indiana railroads. They keep a patrol
moving upon shifting engines from the
east yards to Grand Rapids junction, a
distance of two miles west, in order to head off
any movement of the officials toward starting
trains. The strikers have, since the strike,
been holding their meetings in caboose No. 60,
near Lafayette street, inside the city limits but
to-day they decided TO move into more commod-
ious quarters; they therefore appropriated a
passenger coach and placed it next
the caboose and will hereafter hold
their star-chamber sessions in the
coach, while the caboose will be used as recep-
tion room. Superintendent Law says he has
called upon the city and county authorities for
protection, but for some unexplained reason no
aid has been rendered. It is thought to night
that some arrests will be made tomorrow, but
nothing definite is known. Meanwhile the wards
of the company are blocked with loaded freight
cars, many of them containing perishable goods

of Hon. Schuyler Colfax, one of the States most
esteemed and distinguished citizens. In career

tional convention of this State, as a representa-

of Representatives of the United States, and as
Vice president of the United States, he proved
himself well-equipped for every duty, and in
each successive place he added to his previous
distinction. He was a man Of fine social ma
ture, of fervent friendships, of tender sympa-
thies, and was singulary free from vindictiveness
and resentments Meeting as fellow-citizens and
friends of the dead statesman it is resolved,

just fallen asleep. II was hard to realize that
the well known face had lost its mobile express

again to give expression to the words of one
whom all the Nation loved to listen to. 1t was
relief to all to know that death had not married
the familiar face.

Reception of the Remains at Chicago.

Coated from Chicago Papers.
Long loops of black and white Grape attached
to the sides of the last car of train running
through Wisconsin, yesterday, ON the North
western road, attracted the attention of a few
loiterers about the station platforms The
wintry winds caused the somber trappngs to
stream out from the sides of the coach, and
they snapped with a vigor that seemed likely
to tear them to pieces. At intervals the snow
was driven with almost binding force and
when the train stopped those attracted to its
side shaded their eyes with their hands that
their vision might not be obstructed by the
flying, frozen crystals, and then perhaps for the
first time was conveyed to them the intelligence
of the death of a prominent man, as they read
upon either side of the passenger car the inscrip-
ton upon banner Schuyler Colfax; died
at Mankato, Mimi. Jan. ID, 1885, The Nation
mourns"
The ratings of the platforms were also tied
with Grape, and within from the hat-racks on
each side were dependent bows Of the same ma
terial, On one side of the car about midway of
it's length, the backs of seats had been removed,
and across the space thus created was the casket,
covered with black cloth, that contained the re-
mains Of Schuyler Colfax. silken flag covered
the casket and across this the regatia of the
order of Odd.fellewS, of which body Mr. Colfax
was member In the seat Immediately in the
rear of the casket was the hat and sachel of the
dead man, aud thrown over these articles was an
overcoat, which had served to protect its owner
from the wintry winds which now moaned his
requiem as they whistled by. Around the stove
in the rear end of the car were grouped the men
who have guarded Mr.. Colfax's remains thus far
their journey homeward The day was a
dreary one and the watchers felt the influence
of the awe which usually affects a being of the
human species when in the presence of death.
They were tired and longed for the end of
journey which progressed under such depress-
ing circumstances.
The few incidents and facts connected with
the death of Mr.. Colfax formed largely the
themes OF their conversation. The dead man
arrived In Mankato Wednesday morning about
10 o'clock; from Maplewood about twenty miles
distant When on his journey he seemed in
good spirits, and conversed more or less with
those about him. When his train reached Nan
kato he asked of the conductor direction TO the
Omaha railroad station, which was nearly mile
from that of the Northwestern road and, re-
marking that he would walk, picked up his
sachel and stated. Reaching his objective point
about 1870 o'clock he asked Of an employee about
the station to be shown the gentleman's waiting
room, and entering placed his sachel upon a
settee, glanced about the apartment, walked to
a window, and looked out He then returned
