CHICAGO, June 29.--The Lake
Shore Railroad Company began opera
tons at 4 o'clock this morning. AT
that hour two hundred and fifty police
and the pinker,on men--tbe latter
armed as on yesterday with Winches-
ter iiiles--took possession Of the Forty
tbird-sreet switching. yards. BY 9
O'Clock two Tong freight trains bad
been made up and started south, car
ryiDg armed guards, but met with no
molestation. At l0:0S o'clock Piafer-
ton squad accompanied a swi.cb-en'
CINE to the Union stock-yards 10 get a
train Of live stock.
The Lake Shore switchmen met last
evening. The subject Of hiring legal
talent TO defend the strikers was placed
in the hands Of a committee, with in
structiors 70 hire the best man in the
city. 1t was proposed at first to boy
colt all roads handling Lake Shore
freight, but after some discussion It
was decided not to take such measure,
The committee appointed to interview
Sheriff IIaDcbettreported that he seemed
friendly toward them. In an inter
view published this morning Sheriff
Eanchett says, in reply to the asser-
tons made by railroads officials that
he bad neglected his duty, that
after ipjunctions against some seventy
Of the principal strikers were secured
he called upon President Newell and
requested him to inform him Of the places
Of residence OF the strikers, so that he
could serve writs upon them, and New
ell positively refused to furnish him
with such list.
At noon trains were being made up
OF both the Forty-third-street and En-
glewood yards, and were being sent out
as usual. Each train was guarded by
ten or twelve Pinkerton men. who were
armed with Winchesters. The strikers
gave the ROot-street crossing a wide
berth, and few Of them were to be found
in the vicinity. A freight train was
made up at the stock-yards during the
forenoon and was sent east without
any interference.
SYMPATHY WITH THE STRIKERS.
CHICAGO, June 29.-John Odsr, a
prominent member Of the Switchmen's
Mutual Association, says: tour As
ISOLATION has nothing to do with this
strike it did not inspire it, has no
sympathy for it, and is opposed to it.
There may be some members Of the
Association among the strikers. but
they are acting for themselves. and not
by the advice or sanction Of the Asso-
ciation,r

The COMMONWEALTH SUES.
DefauIfiDg Trcnsurer's sureties Held
Responsible for His Liabilities.

In the City Circuit Court yesterday
the trial of the case of the Common
wealth rs. Samuel r. Sterling, late
treasurer Of Rockingham county, and
his sureties was begun. A jury was
empanelled and some evidence heard,
but most of the day was consumed in
arguing Law points.
This is q suit, or rather a number OF
suits, brought by the Commonwealth
on three successive bonds, executed re-
spectiyely in 1875, 1879, and 1888.
Sterling proved a defaulter on all three,
ard the Commonwealth is now trying
10 hold his securities responsible for his
liabilities. On the bond of 1888 the
amount sued for is about 100000; on
that Of 1879 about 5000; on that Of
1875 about $4,000.
The defence is ldches and gross neg
ligence on the part of the Commo l.
wealth, and that therefore the securities
are not liable.
The Commonwealth is represented by
Messrs. Wyndham X. Meredith and
Edmund Pendleton, assistant to the At
torney-General; and Sterling's sure
ties by General John E. Roller and
Messrs. Strayer & Liggatt, Sife, Yam
cey, and Eastman.

The continued case of Lewis P. Kidd.
charged with shooting. Thomas Gala
CHAN, was called in the Mayors Court
yesterday morning. The prisoner looked
calm, composed, and sad. The only
witness examined was DR.. Archer,
who is attending the wounded man,
and who described the nature of the
wound. The Doctor said that the wound
is a serious one, but he did not think it
would prove fatal; that the wounded
man would probably be out in two
weeks, possibly sooner.
Judge Cloptop, counsel for the de-
fence. applied for bail, and said that no
possible good could be derived from
keeping the prisoner in Jail. lie re-
ferred to the family Of the prisoner,
who are deeply grieved in consequence
of the affair, and Of the uncomfortable
condition of the Jail, and held that it
was antagonistic to the spirit Of the
law to thus punish a man before he is
convicted.
The Commonwealth Attorney re-
sisted the motion for bail.
The Court was Of the opinion that
bail should not be allowed until the at
tending physician could testify that the
wounded man had passed the critical
period. The Sth day Of July was
agreed upon by counsel for hearing
Of the case, and the Court accordingly
continued the case until that time.
Callaghan's condition yesterday was
unchanged. His head is considerably
swollen, but he has no fever, and is
doing as well as could be expected un-
der the circumstances.

The GaIIeso MiIss ses 20 bs Rented
Oue

In the cases of Stokes and others
against the Gsllego Mills Company,
Judge Holiday delivered the following
opinion yesterday:
1T is insisted by IN overwhelming
majority Of the creditors Of the de-
PENDANT corporation that the Gallego
Mills should not be leased, and that the
litigated question can be speedily de-
termined and the property subjected to
the payment of the liabilities Of the
company as ascertained by the Court.
:" 1t is not reasonable to suppose that
any renter would pay more than q
nominal sum for the mills upon lease
OF one or even two years, and during
this time the great reputation now held
by the Gallego flour in the markets Of
the world might be utterly destroyed,
which would enormously depreclate
the value of the property.
"Under these circumstances it is
clear to my mind that the mills should
not be leased, if the Court can in the
orderly proceedings Of chancery prac-
tice order the sale Of the property at an
early day, and | have, therefore, given
the record most careful examination,
in order TO ascertain whether this de-
sirable end can be accomplished, and
am Of opinion
Il. That the questions to be deter
mined before a sale can be ordered are
few and comparatively simple.
80. That no reasons exist why the
evidence on this branch Of these cases
cannot be taken and the litigated ques-
tons determined at an early day.
80. That the plaintiffs in the second
of these causes should be required to
lay all Of their evidence before the
commissioner within a reasonable time.
~. That thirty days is the limit
which should be fixed by the Court.
having due regard to the rights Of the
said plaintiffs.
IS. That the commissioner should
be instructed to devote his entire time
to the decree of reference in these
causes until the coming in of his report.
sc. OF course all parties are at
liberty to lay before the commissioner
all proper dispositions taken before other
officers in the mode prescribed by law.
"Let decree be drawn accordingly"
