In an interview published to-day, Sher-
itf Hanchett replies to charges OF neglect
Of duty made by railroad officials and
others, by saying that he had, during the

would continue to do so, He added that
after the injunCtions against some seventy
OF the principal strikers weTe granted, he
called upon Mr., Newell, President OF the

him OF the places OF residences OF the
strikers, so that he could serve the writs
upon them, aud Mr., Newell positively re-
fused to furnish him with such list.

says; "0ur association has nothing to do
with this strike; 1t did not inspire it; has
no sympathy for 1t, and is opposed to 1t.
There may be some members Of the asso-
citation among the strikers, but they are
acting for themselves, and not by the ad-
vice or sanction OF the association, and II
Ia doing us an injustice to charge us with
aiding or abetting the strike"

Excitement over the Lake Shore strike
was renewed this evening by a successful
attempt to wreck train at the Union
Stock Yards. A Number ot empty stock
cars had been moved from slxty-third
street to the yards to be loaded with cat
lie. The apparent abandonment OF &C.
tive hostilities by the strikers had caused
the vigilance Of the guards to be relaxed
slightly. Just as the train had left the
