A Refusal to Discharge Eight Nom u niOn
Men Followed by strike.
CHICAGO, April 17.-At O'Clock to-
night the switchmen employed in the va
rious yards OF the Lake Shore and Michi-
gan Southern railway throughout this
city and suburbs, carried out their threat
to strike if the company refused to dis
charge the eight men who accepted work
from the road during the strike OF 1881.
The strikers number "a men. meeting
OF them and their sympaJhizers was in
session near the FOrty-thlrd street yards
when messenge arrived from the gen
eral yard master with communication
stating that he had been Instructed to
say the company declined to accede
to the demand for the displacement OF the
eight sO-caled "scabs" in its employ
here. Immediately the news of the COM
pany's action was spread and all the
union switchmen ceased work. With
equal promptness advertisements were
sent by the Lake Shore officials to all the
papers calling for so switchmen to
apply at the companY's office for work.
It is not known whether the strike is
begun by the authority of the
Switchmen's Union. A feature of the
strike is that, unlike the Missouri
Pacific strikers, the men VINO
have gone out do not claim to be any
longer the employees OF the Lake Shore
road. They say they have "gone out for
good" All disclaim any intention OF
interfering in any way with the operation
of the road

BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE car drivers
who struck Thursday are still out, and
there is no probability Of reaching an
agreement with the companies which en-
plOyed them. An effort will be made by
several lines early next week TO procure
others to drive. and those employed Will
nave the protection Of the police. SO far
no apparent disposition has been mani
tested by the strikers TO violate the law.
10 is believed that more than half OF the
whole number that struck would return
to their work IL permitted to do so by the
knights of Labor, but they are afraid Of
personal injury. threats having been
made to the families Of mum Der OF them.

ada and Not Expected to Live Long.
ROCHESTER, n. Y, April ia special
from Angelica, n. Y, in relation to the
detalcaton Of Bank Cashier Robinson,
says: cashier Robinson left town
week ago, ostensibly on a short trip to
Niagara Falls for his health. He is II
years old, ana has been in feeble health
for two or three years. bank examiner
arrived Wednesday Of this week.
On his last previous visit
in December he discovered
certain irregularities and hence came
again sooner than usual. He unearthed
enough to cause him to summon the di-
rectOrs Friday morning At noon tho
bank was indefinitely closed. As far as
ls now known the deialcatiOn is about
$4,000, of which sum S5.S0O has been fic.
tltlously charged during the last forty
eight days. and 5000 has been recently
paid for private telegrams, indicating
ieVerish state Of things growing out OF the
cashiers speculations.
LOST ON WHEAT.
The bulk OF the money was lost in
wheat margins in Chicago. The bank
was organized in 1864 on "a capital OF
500, 600, with MIR. Robinson as cashier.
There are about 20 stockholders, no one
of whom is an active business man
here, and hence the loss will fall less
severely on the town. Il is proposed to
re0rganze the bank on a $50 900 basis.
Mr.. Robinson was elsO executor Of the
Graves estate. This estate Will lose $l1 ,O0d
uuaccounted for. The New York account
was oyerdrawn about $1,000. There is
now in the bank about $1,000 in cash be-
sides securities. Mr.. Robinson took only
about $4,000 with him TO Canada, where
his aged wife has now joined him. A tele.
gram from there says he is i'll, and will.
in all probability, live only a short time.
A dissOlute son Of MIR. Robinson is sOme-
where in the West, and there are indica,
ti0ns that he had some connection VITA
his fathers downfall. The Chief of Police
telegraphed that Mr.. Robinson is at Nj
agara Falls, Ontario.
