THE BIG STRIKE.
IT IS ABOUT ENDED-THE CENTRAL IN
WORKING ORDER.
Tie Brotherhood Will Not Join in the Strike
Chief Arhurs Positive Statement-Al
Interest Now Centred at Albany.
The Situation.

ALBANY, y. V, August l4.-General
Manager Young when asked As TO the
status of the Delaware and Hudson
strike this morning, said: "Superintend-
ent Hammond was in the yards at eight
o'clock this morning. Nearly all the
men who were out reported for duty.
They said, however, they could not go
to work until they had received orders
from their committee, who are in con-
Sultation with the leaders of the Central
strike. Mr.. Hammond told the men
unless they went to work at noon their
places would be filled by other employees
of the company. At noon we will have
enough men to man the switches
and handle the freight, the
traffic of which will be resumed this
afternoon. The committee from the
men thought they would ask for an
other consultation, but We have heard
nothing from them as yet. The men
are only out in this vicinity"
From another reliable source il was
learned that the employees Of the Della
ware and Hudson are only organized
between here and Troy, aud there is no
fear of a general tie-up on the road.
There is not much perishabIe freight
here except what arrived this morning
for the summer hotels up north and
this will be sen. up to-day.
In the SiXty-lifth street freight yard
the routine Of business is not yet cstab-
lished. 1t is said here, too, that this is
due to the condition of things at Albany.
The police are still sQuatted in groups
over the yards and large number of
men are idly waiting. The making-up of
trains is proceeding rather slowly.
-Four way freight trains left the yards
yesterday for points between here and
Buffalo, and one went west OF Buffalo.
Two trains were sent to Albany this
morning The traffic between the Sixty
fifth street and the downtown yards is
fully established.
Master Workman Lee returned from
New York this morning. He claimed
to be satisfied with the condition Of
things in New York and this vicinity,
and j. going on to Buffalo tonight, in
reponSc to the urgent request Of the
strikers there. The strikers got hold of
the men who came on from Chicago and
Boston yesterday, and A. returned.
Twenty OF the men who came from Bos
ton also quit work to-day. TO add to
these diScouragemcnts to the efforts Of
the roads officials TO move freight, a
green switchman, from the Fitchburg
road neglected to set Swith properly
IN the East Albany yards to-day, result
ing in the dcrailmcnt OF an engine with
six cabOOSeS.
The men who came from Chicago say
they were under contract for the Cen
tral weeks before the strike was or
dered. 1t Is said large number Of
wcstcan engineers and iiremen were
also under contract.
At / o'clock this afternoon it was
stated on reliable authority that the
Delaware and Hudson strikers had
agreed to resume work tomorrow morn

visit had anything To do with the New
York Central strike, saying that his pur-
pose In coming here was solely TO ad-
lust a trifling affair FOR Youngstown
iiremen, who had called on him early
this morning. A number OF Lake Shore
men who were interviewed knew moth
ing of 4 strike.
Grand Chief Arthur when asked re-
garding the rumored trouble among the
locomotive iiremen, looked up from his
desk with smile and the answer: Il
don't know. That is what | told the
other six reporters who were here.
hardly thought that Mr.. Sargent would
come here in the interest of the eastern
strike and now know that he did not.
Chief Sargent's reply when told that
it was reported that he had ordered the
fireman out was: 1T i false from be-
ginning to end. The Brotherhood OF
Firemen cannot for Il moment entertain
the idea OF striking under the present
circumstances. Under the laws OF the
Brotherhood and Federation OF Rail
way Employees, local committee must
investigate the grievance. II the COM
mittec fails to settle then the Grand
Council should be called together and
use all its means to settle the dispute.
fthis was found to be impossible then
| would probably favor a strike and my
decision would be submitted to vote
Of the council, and if it was sustained
would Immediately order strike"
"IIave any such steps been taken?'
No, nor do | expect that such Will
be the case. While am heartily in SYM
pathy with the strikers, you see it Is
simply out of the question for me to
participate in this matter in any way.
The laws Of the Brotherhood will not

THE FRUIT FAILURE.
Gloomy Reports from all Sections Except
One i'm tho West

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, August l4.-Ap-
pies will be Scarccr and more costly this
season than for many year.
The NcC England Homestead says
there is but half a crop OF winter fruit
in the famous Annapolis Valley Of
Nova Scotia. and still greater reduc-
tion in the apple belt Of Southern and
Western Ontario. and Michigan along
the lakes.
In Maine and limited sections Of Yer
mont and New Hampshire there is a fair
yield Of apples, being best in Maine. In
Southern New England, New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and the in
terror States generally, the promise Of
winter fruit is worse than ever before
| known.
The apple belt Of Western New York
and along Lakes Ontario aud Erie,
which in good seasons ships much more
than one million barrels 10 New York
and foreign markets. has almost no crop
whatever this year. The Homestead
confirms this fact by the testimony of
over 300 correspondents. and believes
that the great majority of farmers in
that region will not have enough ap-
Piles for home consumption. CuriouSly
enough there is one considerable area in
Missouri and Kansas within Il radius OF
100 miles Of Kansas, in which there is Il
phenomenal crop Of winter apples Of fine
quality. Eastern buyers are already
gobbling it up at good prices. Summer
and fall apples are also short and COM
mand good prices.
The Homestead thinks that choice
Western fruit, like prime BaldwnS.
will rule at 81 to - barrel in Boston
and New York, within three months; %
has already been bid in Addison county,
Vt, and the exports OF apples from the
United States and Canada OF the 1890
crop will not be much over 500, 900 bar
rels. against 100000 barrels last year
and ] ZOO, 600 barrels in lSSs.
Peaches are a practical failure in
Southern Ontario and Michigan, a. well
as In Southern States and Connecticut
Pears and plumS yield uncyonly, but
are far below an average crop and must
command good prices. Grapes, how
ever. are an immense crop, save in see
tions Of New Jersey and the South,
where the black rot is playing havoc
with the fruit The scarcity Of other
fruits will sustain the market for
grapes.
The shortage Of large fruits is due
to injury to the fruit buds by the cold
snaps following warm spells last winter,
and to a cold wave and rain that blast
ed the blossoms, while drought in July
caused much fruit to drop. The Home
Stead's preliminary report Of the potato
crop indicates disastrous shortage in
the South and West, a curtailed yield
in New York, and fair average yield
in New England, if spared by the rot
which is now making its appearance.
PotatoS in Ireland are sadly blightcd
and are also rotting in Scotland.

BIG LOUISVILLE FIRE.
4 Distillery and Several Other Establish
ments Burned.


LOUISVILLE, KY. August 1I.-Thc
immense distillery Of the Kentucky
Distilling Company, owned by Bark
house Il Co., is now on fire with indica-
tionS That it will be totally destroyed.
In the warehouse are 10000 barrels OF
whisky, all of which will be lost. The
whisky is valued at 5000, 900, and the
buildings will run this mp 4 hundred
thousand more at least.
The diStillcry building property i,
now doomed and the cattle sheds are
also burning. The warehouse is gone
and thousands Of barrels of liquor feed
ing Il blue blaze that now and then
seems TO pierce the clouds in the sky.
All the fire engines in the city are
throwing water on the property in the
neighborhoOd.
Twenty-Five thousand barrels of burn
ing whiskey at the Kentucky DiStillery
this morning caused one OF the most
disastrous fires that ever visited the
city of Louisville. a rough estimate
made at noon, while flames were still
roaring furiouSly, placed the total loss
at fully $500, 900. 1t was all caused by
carclcSsncSs on the part OF colored
man who was assisting the watchman.
He was moving some barrels to reach
one in the StorehOuSe that was leaking.
Placing the lamp on the floor to better
attend to his work, he climbed on top
Of one Of the piles. But a mis-Step
started the leaking barrel down and
when il struck the lamp the whiskey
and oil together started fearful
blaze. The Kentucky DStillery was
the property OF julius BarkhouSe Il Co..,
and was located on Story avenue be-
tween Adams and Ohio street. For al
most month it had been shut down,
and consequently there was nobody
abo 1t but the watchman and one assist
ant and Office clerks. The distilcry
property consisted Of an immense dis
tillery containing machinery for the
manufacture of whisky, extending back
| from the street almost 25O feet. The
lower part was Of frame while the front
was of brick, and was three stories in
height. East OF the Office and adjoining
it was the two large warehouses where

tircly of brick three Storic,
high, almost 80 feet deep and
about 100 feet Wild. II was here that
the fire started. The distillcry ware
house was the next to the largest in
Louisville. The total depth of the two
warehouses was 233 feet. All this went
down and was totally consumed. Tho
distillery proper was % feet by 33i{,
and to this had been built two addi-
tionS. the dimensions Of one being 3 by
49, feet, and the other 81 by = feet
The ciStern room went down with the
warehouse and was 81 feet square. The
fcrmenting room was 32 by 26il. Al
these buildings were destroyed, and the
loss on the building will reach up in the
neighborhood OF $4,000. There was
stored in the warehouse at the time oI
the fire $4,000 barrels Of whisky. As
not a single barrel was saved the loss on
the whisky alone. giving to each bar
rel an estimated value Of $50. reaches
up to half million. The loss was al
most, if not entirely covered by insur-
ance. The diStilery was not running
now so that nothing will be lost by de-
