The Strike on the Michigan Central Road
Declared OF.
CHICAGO, April 3d.-At 2 o'clock this
afternoon the Michigan Central yard en-
pioyes returned to work. Upon what
terms the strike was declared off they
would not say. An official of the company
said that the return to work was condi.
tional. 1t had been decided upon in a
conference between the strikers, the Off
GERS OF the company and delegation of
the brotherhood of Engineers from Jack
son.
The men were to handle the freight Of
fered to them, and the Burlington train,
which had caused all the commotion, would
be handled this afternoon.
THE FINAL STRUGGLE TO-DAY.
CHICAGO, April 3d.-The Burlington Off
cials announced this afternoon that the de-
livery of cars to large number of roads
would be attempted tomorrow, and the
final struggle in the great strike would
probably then take place.
No attempt was made by the company to
do business to-day, the plea being that the
police were needed at the polls throughout
the city, where the municipal election was
In progress. An inkling of how the
BURLINGToN's GENERAL ADVANCE
May be met tomorrow in some Quarters.
lies in the fact that in order to reach the
Grove-street yards, where connection is
made with at least six other roads, the %. y
has to pass over a section of the Alton
tracks, where they were so vigorously OBJ
structed yesterday.
The switches of the Rock Island yards
are locked so that no Burlington cars can
DE run in.
SPIKED SWITCHES.
The officials of the st. Paul road discov-
cred that the switches connecting the
Northwestern tracks at Western avenue
were spiked. The st. Paul people say the
Northwestern probably think this the
safest way by which to avoid trouble. as
the spiking of switches precludes the pos
sibility of any freight being rendered the
Northwestern snd st. Paul. They hold
that the spiking was done at the instiga-
tion of the Northwestern officials.
THE UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
OF the Michigan Central strikers to-day
was due to the influence exerted by dele
CATION OF Brotherhood men from Jackson,
who arrived this morning. The Brother
hood engineers were greatly adverse to the
strike, and positively refused to back it up.
The business of the Michigan Central
yards is proceeding now as usual.
AN INJUNCTION ASKED FOB.
The Burlington road this afternoon ap-
piled to Judge Gresham for an Injunction
against the Belt line to restrain the latter
from refusing to haul 90" freight. This
is the original suit reinstated, and seems
to indicate that the Belt line is being badly
pushed by its employees and has agreed to
revival of the original bill. Judge
Gresham granted temporary writ.
AhURDERoUs OUTRAGE.
CHICAGO, April 3d.-Eli Kreigh was shot
and instantly killed, and Dan Brasill
mortally wounded by three unknown men
at ten O'Clock tonight. Both men were
watchmen in the employ of the Chicago
and Alton Railroad.
The train they went out on tonight was
boarded by three men, and when they at
tempted to put them off the men drew
their revolvers and began firing. Kreigh
fell dead, shot through the lungs, while
Brasill was shot through the lower portion
of his body
