ttfLCiAL To TIE NOhLD.I
CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-Uneasy rests the head
that's on q strike.
No cessation in the @. b. and Q. hostilities
is apparent to-day.
An early visit to the headquarters Of the
company found every one alive. The wreck
ct Naperville yesterday troubled the man
ager, and even his intimates found It difficult
to get his ear.
mo trains this morning either way" was
the sign displayed at the ticket-ofice Of the
Union Depot, but such was not the case.
Two suburban trains were sent out and re-
turned light.
They were manned by men who draw fat
salaries and who were once engineers.
An attempt was made to disable the fast
mail on the c., b. and Q. road ct 8. 10 this
morning by placing q coupling pin in the
guide.
When the train stopped at the Burlington
crossing q coupling pin was placed on the
plates that guide the %piston-rod. When an
attempt was made to start the engine again it
would not move. The difficulty was soon
discovered and the obstruction removed.
Had the piston-rod been drawn out at full
length the coupling pin would nave been
driven through the cylinder head and the en-
gine disabled. The train was started up
again.
None Of the through trains arrived. No. 8,
the Kansas City express. due at $40, had not
arrived at 8 o'clock, nor had No. 4. the
Chicago fast express from Council Bluffs due
at $3.50, put in q N appearance. The big freight
house at Polk street was deserted this morn.
ing and a notice was posted on every door of
the Canal street side to the effect that no
freight would be received to-day.
No orders had been given any Of the yard
men regarding the plans for to-day, but Capt.
O'Donnell, Of the West Twelfth street sta
ton, received q despatch from Chief Hub
bard early this morning ordering him TO de-
tail q force at the freight yards TO protect q
freight train to be made up and run out
to-day.
The injured in the wreck yesterday arrived
in the city this morning, and were cared for
by the company's surgeons.
All were loud in their denunciation of
presumption to handle the throttle.
It is believed hat a good criminal case
could be made out against him, and II Is
among the possibilities that such q move will
be made.
Suburban folks are now doing considerable
walking
Business is paralyzed.
The strike IL affecting all centres.
PIrTsBuRo, Feb. 2s.-Mr. Barry, Of the
knights of Labor Executive Board, Is in
town and says: The Engineers Brother
hood have often 'soabbed the Knights, but
the Knights will try to restrain retaliation.
although they may fail to hold in some re-
vengeful members"
Fifty engineers to take the strikers places
went through here to-day. They denied
that they were Knights from the Reading
road, but did not deny that they belonged to
the order. They claimed to have been en-
gagged in New York and Philadelphia, with
no questions asked as to what brotherhood
they belonged to.
BosToN, Feb. 2s.-W. j. Ladd, clerk of the
Board Of Directors of the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy Railroad, was seen this morn
ing in regard to the statement that q recruit
ing Office has been established in Boston for
the purpose Of engaging engineers to Be sent
West.
'Fiddlesticks! I" said Mr.. Ladd. III any
thing of the XIII had been lone I should
know something about it. There's no truth
whatever in the story"
