NARROW ESCAPE FROM sLoopsHeD.
Syracuse strikers Defy the Militia and
Nearly Win the Fight.


Nearly Win the Fight.
SYRACUSE. n. Y, Aug. 1l.-An attempt
was made to move a freight train in the
yards here yesterday morning under
military escort and there was narrow es-
cape from bloodshed in an encounter with
the strikers The movement of the tram
was resisted by the striking railroad men
and call was made for the militia's pro-
lection At one time a con fiict seemed
imminent Deputy Sheriff Kratz had his
pistol atone time pointing into the face
of striker and four or five OF the soldiers
were surrounded by about thirty strikers
who pressed them into quarters so close
that they could not use their bayonets
The trains were finally novel up into the
yard under the state soldiery.
A Good Prospect for Bio odsheed.
Mai. Auer received orders to have his
entire battery under orders, and was notS.
fed that tee of the separate companies Of
the state militia would report here at the
earliest hour. Two companies are to
come from Oswego, one from Elmira, and
the Sixty fifth regiment from Buffalo.
The companies from this section of the
state for the most part are in camp at
Peesskill. The officers Of the military
companies have orders to clear the Eas
Syracuse yards at all hazards as soon as
the companies can be massed If necessa-
ry they will turn the battery guns on the
strikers The dissatisfied railroad men
say that no trains will be moved if they
can prevent even If bloodshed follows

SITUATION AT ALBANY.

Militia and Pinkertons on Guard-Gov-
ernor Hills Remarks.
ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE situa-
tion here becomes more serious every min
ute, and the intense quietness which pre-
walls among the men and at the railroad
yards is viewed with alarm by the rail-
road officials At West Albany not man
was visible, but the 5000 cars laden with
merchandise were still, and the tracks al
ready beginning to rust. The yard is
guarded by Pinkerton men, who watch
the oil trains and lumber piles very close
Iy. Passenger trains were passing through
the yard with the aid of the militia, but at
Dne time struggle took place between
the strikers and soldiers.
A X. of L. Official View.
Secretary Proutley, Of the K. of L., said
when asked about the progress made:
THE strike is yet In its infancy, and its
sxtent and power, If our den<nds are not
met, will surprise people. The men are
remaining quietly away from the yard,
and will avoid trouble if possible We
are not interfering with passenger trains,
and shall not attempt to stop them, but
the road must not attempt to move
pound of freight or there will be trouble"
That the railroad people are greatly
alarmed is evident from the fact that 300
Pinkertop men are here, and Robert
Pinkerton himself is in command. Each
man is armed, and they are spread out
over the tracks between Albany and West
Albany.
Declare 1t Fight for Life.
District Assembly LAT, K of L., COM
posed of various bodies, held meeting
yesterday afternoon. An address was is
sued to the strikers. 1t reads as follows:

The REMOVAL OF GRANTS REMAINS
Novel Plan Suggested by Member oil
the Grand Army.

WASHINGTON CITY. Aug IA novel
prosition is being discussed there with
reference TO the proposed removal of the
remains of Gen. Grant to this city The
iiea had its origin in the brain of men,
Der OF the Grand Army The proposal is
that the casket containing the body shall
be carried the entire distance on the
shoulders of veterans who fought under
Grant. The plan AS thus far talked about.
provides that tue members of the Grand
Army post whose headquarters are the
nearest to the tomb at Riverside park shall
carry the body from the tomb until they
reach the territory of the next nearest
post.
What DO the Boys in Blue Say?
There the remains are to be transferred
to menu ers OF that post, and so on all the
ways to the capital Each post would. of
course, have relief squads stationed at
short intervals along the route. Grand
Army men here believe that their COM
rades all over the country will cordially
lndorse such "A demonstration in honor of
the memory of Gen. Grant, and an effort
TO carry it into effect will undoubtedly be
made if it is decided to remove the re-
mains from their present tomb.

She Was Built That Way.

Inc Nessefs bottom was especially built
for just such an emergency. The upper
deck, which started the panic, had sunk
two feet, and it is a miracle that it didn't
fall entirely. II it had there would have
been a horrible tale to tell The passing
through the rapids with no worse result
than it was, was miracle The 600 or
more people did not reach Montreal I'M
til early yesterday morning, the most dis
gusted party that ever struck Montreal.

District A -sem bis 246 in tie grave situa-
that to-day confronts your district. To
our minds it means either "A complete VIC
tory or a total demoralizs. tion of your
magnificent organization. District As
sembly ai5 pledge their unswerving and
unstintei support and assist anee until the
end. We urge you to rem ain cool. Let
no rascally bands OF Pinkert on cut-throats
goad your members to any acts of vio-
ience. Should your members weaken, ac-
cording TO the threat OF Vice President
Webb you will receive no consideration"
Governor Hill Gives fl Is Views.
Governor Hill was asked ist night If he
had ordered the militia 10 report for
service at Syracuse. He SAID that it was
untrue He had not been allied upon and
probably would not be. Tie sheriff Of
any county could call upon the militia to
act in case of an emergency. Asked If he
would give his views upon the strike he
declined to talk, but intim ated that the
men would not be moleste1 by militia
unless in case of riot He hoped the men
would obtain their rights.
Going to Force a Crisis.
At last the road authorities are con-
fronted with big problem. All the en-
ployes on the Central road are ready to
assist the strikers. At o'clock yester-
day afternoon the strikers held a secret
conference at which were representatives OF
division $50. locomotive firemen of Al
bany; $40, of Schenectady; Sl5, of East Al
bany. and division 40, Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers. 1t was determined
to force the crisis, and to-day engineers
and firemen will refuse to draw trains
containing anything except the United
States mail. No passengers of any de-
scription are to go out and no freight.
