SYMPATHETIC YARDMEN.
A Few on the Delaware & Hudson
Quit Work,

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. 23.-At noon to-
day D. A. 246, K. of L., ordered all its
members employed at the Green Island
yards of the Delaware q Hudson rail-
road, as well as those at work in this
city, to strike at once. The order was
generally obeyed, and this afternoon
the Delaware u Hudson company finds
itself confronted with the same state of
affairs that existed about week ago
when similar tie-up went into effect.
The trouble all grows out of the hand
ling of Central freight by the Delaware
& Hudson road. A committee of the
Knights waited upon the company yes
terday and asked that it be definitely
agreed that no more Central freights be
moved. A reply was forthcoming
from. the road this morning to
the effect that the company proposed
to transport over its lines all freight
precipitated the tie-up. which embraces
and at the Green Island. Supt. HAM
mond returned from Green Island this
afternoon. He said the strike was con-
fined to the yard brakemen only, in the
yards at Green Island, and the Lumber
and Church streets yards in this city,
in all about Seventy-ive men being out.
There are still two crews at work in the
Green island yards. He did not know
whether the strike would extend. In
any event, he would abide by his de-
cision in reference to handling transfer
freight to and from the Central. No
freight has been moved in these three
yards since o'clock this morning.
Their Places to Be Filled.
A number of the night force of yard
men refused to go to work tonight in
the Delaware & Hudson yards here.
This action bring the number of strikers
up to $50. Supt. Hammond says the
places of the strikers will be filled as
quickly as possible, and that some of
those who wish to come back will be
reinstated. Freight was again moving
over the road late this afternoon and to-
night. Ghe rent collector of the Cen
tral road at West Albany says to-
NIGHT there was no truth in the report
that the striking Central employees
had been asked to vacate houses
in West Albany they now occupy
which are owned by the company.
These men should not walt to be
evicted. They have ceased to be
employees of the Central road, and the
houses are intended for occupancy only
by men who work In the West Albany
yards in order to enable them to live in
the locality of their daily labor. He
thought that if any move at all was
made in this direction, the question
would be given to the strikers in this
light without giving them peremptory
order to vacate. The pay car is ex-
pected at the West Albany yards ON
Monday, when the strikers will receive
the money due them, which is month
to two months and half salary.

The Strike on the Central Like
Their Own Troubles.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The railway
strikes in America excite great interest
on this side, where the recent great rail-
way strike in Wales for time threat
ened to paralyze the trade of the king
dom. There is some talk of an organi-
-zation of railway and other corporations
to hold ground against the gigantic and
overwhelming influence of trades union
ism, which of late has dictated the man.
agement Of business. England, being
a small compact country, has not the re-
sources possessed by America for over
coming widely organized strikes. Trade
follows certain channels, and cannot be
switched off from one line to another
pending trouble, and the trades unions
practically include all the workingmen
of the kingdom. When. therefore, as
In Wales, British railway is stopped
by strike, it need not expect toreplace
the men, and go on with its business.
It is question only of whether the rail-
way or the strikers can hold out the
longest. Strikes have already driven

SO much so that ship owners as well as
dock owners are alarmed, end are look

Congressman GrOsvenOr De-
nounces the Civil Service Com
mission.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Representa-
tive Grosvenor, of Ohio, to-day ap-
peared before the house committee on
reform in the civil service. Some time
ago Gen. Grosvenor delivered a speech
in the house upon civil service reform
which attracted wide attention and
called forth denials as to the accuracy
of some of his statements. The pur-
pose of the general appearing before
the committee was to answer these
criticisms. He stated that he was
not an opponent OF civil service
reform, but believed in the merit
system. He insisted that his assertion
that no man or woman had been ap-
pointed to position from his district
was strictly true, though many had
passed the examinations, and repeated
the statement made in his speech that
the commissioners induced persons to
take the examinations when they knew
there was no chance whatever of their
appointment. Gen. GrosvenOr COM
meuted upon the action of the commits
sion in advertising throughout the
South that examinations will be held
for positions in the pension bureau,
under the law providing for additional
clerks. ae desired to know if clerks
in other branches Of the government
service could not be transferred to the

EIGHT THOUSAND MEN IDLE.
Business in Packingtown Para
lived by q Strike.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-Between 1000
and 5000 men were temporarily thrown
out of employment in the stockyards
to-day, on account of the strike of the
engineers and fremen of the Railway
Switching association. If the strike
continues until Monday. at least $4,000
men will be in i6leness. Aside from
the stock trains that were backed into
the yards from the various railroad lines,
not wheel was turned in Packingtown
to-day. Unable to get cars to ship leir
beef, the packers, after they had
used up their storage :. capacity,
were forced to lay off nearly
scarcely enough work to keep the re-
mainder busy. One firm tried to move
refrigerator cars by hand, so as to en-
able them to get out big consignment
of beef, but the instant their men
touched the cars they were set upon by
gang of Switchmen, who drove them
into the packing house before fusilade
of coupling pins and stones. Another
firm is short of coal and
unless the blockade Is = moved
will have to suspend entirely.
Hundreds of cars of beef are on the
side-tracks, and, unless moved soon,
will spoil. The StOckyard butchers and
laborers, who were thrown out of en-
ployment by the strike, accept the stu
alton complacently. The railroad SUI
perintendents to-day, after confer
ence, decided not to accede to the de-
mands of the engineers, but were will
ing to give the firemen slight advance.
They say if the strike is not settled
before Monday morning, they will
put an end to the Railway
Switching association and return
to the old system of switching with
engines and crews that are directly re-
sponsible to the railways to whom they
belong. Late tonight 1t is reported
that the strikers have practically agreed
upon compromise proposition, and if
their terms are accepted they will go to
work tomorrow. They are willing to
take 20 cents an hour for engineers, an
advance of one cent, and 19 cents an
hour for firemen, an advance of one and
a half cents.

Dismissed by a Martinez.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 23.-Byron FL.
Kring, depot master at the Central
depot, was discharged by Supt. Bur-
rows this morning. No cause was as
signed for the summary dismissal. Mr..
Kring worked so hard during the first
few days of the strike that he fell sick.
and it is said that Mr.. Burrows accused
him of being in sympathy with the men
and shamming sickness in order to help
them. There is little change in affairs
in the East Buffalo yards to-day. The
Central continues to bring in car loads
of laborers from other cities, and the
yards are full of them. Little progress,
however, is made in the removal of

GALLATIN, Mont, Aug. 23.-Seven
funerals are scheduled to occur at
Timberline, a small mining camp in
this county (Gallatin) tomorrow, as the
result of maniac'S murderous work
and the discovery of his atrocious crime.
This morning a miner named Quinn,
whose reason had been dethroned by a
succession of debauches, set to work
to eXterminate his whole family.
AS preliminary he dashed out the
brains of his wife with an ak, and fol-
lowed it up by killing his five children,
who ran to their mothers assistance.
He beat the little ones down with the
AK, and then to complete the awful
work he stabbed each of them repeat
edly with butcher knife. The she'd
ding of human blood seemed to have
transformed the maniac 49,
Into a wild Beast
for when discovered by neighbors who
had heard the children's cries, Quinn
was groveling on the floor Of his cabin
eating the arm of his eldest daughter,
whose, body he had cut in half. So
shocked were those who went to the
cabin by the sickening spectacle pre-
sented, that for moment they made no
effort to apprehend the murderer. He
started to run from the cabin when one
of those present drew revolver and
shot and instantly killed him. The af-
fair has caused the most intense excite
ment in the little camp. The bodies of
the maniac and his six victims are ly-
ing on the cabin floor just as they fell,
awaiting the arrival of the coroner, who
was summoned from here.
