No Interference.

James E. Smith, general manager of the
Manitoba road, was asked last night as to the
condition of the strike and responded as fol-
lows: There has been no inference with the
movement Of trains in our yards since Mon
day night. To-day we moved freight right

Paul. We also moved freight without diff

We are getting into good shape. The Mani

The Situation Yesterday.

The results of the switchmen's strike
hourly becomes more grievous. The rail-
road yards are still crowded TO their utmost
capacity. and the work accomplished by the
small crews, made up of yard men. traiu-
masters and brakemen. hardly had an appre-
cable effect upon the immense blockade.
The switchmen were ON hand as usual, but did
not commit any act of violence in the way of
interference combining their efforts to en-
beavers 10 persuade new men not to take
their places. During the day no acts of
either violence or disorder were reported Icy
the railroads At the Minneapolis & st.
LOUIS yard several of the strikers returned
to work but whether they can be induced to
continue is entirely matter of suppOsition.
The railroads had their specials on guard as
usual but they found nothing to do but walk
back and forth as sentrieS.

induce their employees to switch cars, but the
men have generally refused The m RS

appealing to the sympathy OF the
other WOrkmen, and are asking them not to
defeat their efforts to obtain better wages by
taking their places. One of the men who
was present at the Minneapolis Eastern when
the men from the mills were induced to go
back, as stated, and who acted as spokesman
at the time, says that not a threat or harsh

lion Under Promise Of Marriage.
In the district court yesterday before Judge
Rea was commenced the case of Mary J.
LYONS against Thomas H. Dunn, to recover
$50 900 for breach of promise. The case is
one of the worst that has ever been in the
court, and shows to what depths some people
can fall. The parties to the suit are first
cousins and formerly lived in Anoka, where
Mary lived with the parents of Thomas.
Friendship between the two soon ripened into
love. and before many days mad passed they
were living together without having under
gone the marriage ceremony. This state OF
things continued until Mary found herself in
n delicate condition. She at once went to
Thomas and he promised to marry her. This
was on April l, 1884, and on May Ia, 1884. the
woman was delivered of a child. Dunn then
refused to marry the woman, and she threat
ened To- bring suit against him unless he did.
Dunu's father then took hand III the game.
and made out three prommissory notes of
500 each to Mary, which were to be paid in
,:ase Thomas did not marry Ger inside of one
wear. Tom did not feel like marrying the
woman at the end of this time and she retail
lated by bringing suit. The woman in the
case is Il coarse. large-boned woman of per-
baps 27 years of age. She was dressed neatly
in brown, with black cloak, and pa d close
attention to the trial. Dunn was not present,
but his father was, and at him all the eyes in
the court room were directed.
