A Strike Anticipated.

E ALBANY, Ny, Nov. 2O.-It is not alto
gether unlikely that. the New York Central
and West Shore railroads may be tied up
completely before the close of the week
unless the company's officials yield to GER
tain demands of their employees. The
sentiment among the men is decidedly in
favor of going out at once. They say the
company is trifllng with them, and that
unless heroic measures are adopted at once
nothing will come of the matter except a
continuation of the present policy Of pro-
#crastinatiOn on the part of the officials
The local assembly which is identified
with this trouble embraces the counties of
Albany and Rensselaer,. It has member
ship Of at least 5000. This includes en-
5gineers, iremen, brakemen, and in fact
train men generally. In case of the pres
ent trouble eliminating in y strike there
seems little doubt that the entire brother
hoods sympathy would be entirely with
the men. The men claim the company has
been preparing for this emergency for
some time, and in confederation of this
statement cite the order said to have been
received at Dewitt, the western terminus
of the eastern division, to ship no freight
except live stock and perishable property
until further notice. A trainman on tile

The President of the National League
Talks About the Parnells,
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 2O.-In answer TO
the question if the Irish National League
of America was going to take any public
steps to relieve the alleged straightened
circumstances of Mrs. Parnell, President
John Fitzgerald replied in the negative,
and said: II think any public movement
in that direction would be indelicate and
an insult to the Parnell family and slur
upon the character of a distinguished son
and Irish leader. The reported sad con-
dition of Mrs. Parnell could not possibly
have resulted from neglect of her family.
Parnell himself expressed painful surprise
when the intelligence was conveyed to
him, as he had made ample arrangements
to supply her financial necessities.
Some of those who were urging public
subscriptions for Mrs. Parnell were men
who in their craving for notOriety had no
conception Of honor or decency, but he
hoped the innate delicacy of the Irish char
acter would prevent Irishmen of America
from playing into the hands of these pre.
tended patriots. Mrs. Parnell should not
be made the object of public benevolence.
Respect for her name should put a stop to
so indecent movement. Mrs. ParnelPs
family can and will care for her wants
without uncalled for public interferen ce.''

evening q terrific explosion occurred in the
prison here. It shook the windows for.
several blocks and was heard miles away.
a crowd rushed to the scene, Rumors
were afloat that Lattimar had succeeded in
blowing out the wall and escaped. Shortly
after the explosion a fire alarm was turned
in from the prison. This added to the SEN
.satiOn. The officers are very retic ent
about the matter and will only state that
dynamite bomb exploded inside the west
wall doing slight damage and that three
the doors unlocked, are charged with the
sOffense. So violent was the cOncussion
that six men were thrown from their beds
IN the cells. The fire alarm was Occasioned
by spontaneous combustion of barrel of
paper. which was extinguished.
