The runor that tho employees of the

proved to have been without foundation,
as at II 80 O'Clock all trains are running

One OF the leading spirits among the
strikers said the men who committed
acts of violence were not connected with
the strikers. He said it was their inien-
tton to protect the property of the roade
that had granted the demands of the
men, and Committees had been appoint
ed by various lines to feed and water
the horses in the different stables. Thai
the strikers would drive q car over the
