Yes, They All Talk.

A young man talks with pleasure,
An old man talks with ease,
The orator talks like some men walk
Six days ego as you please"
The preacher talks of sins aud things
Of Helrs eternal fury,
The Lawyer hurls his jawbone at
A mad but helpless jury.
Thus each one talks and talks and talks
Each of his own speech proudest,
Neglectful OF the patent fact
That it's money that talks loudest.
Is that so? That is a fact. Money
talks loudest and will buy more auG
better clothing at Marks Lieberman's il
the Hollow, Elkton, Md, than Can be
had at an place in Cecil county"

STRIKE MATTERS.
The Situation at the Chicago Stock Yards
Takes on a New Phase.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26 = The strike of the
stock yards switchmen association after
The grievances of the engineers and firemen
had been adjusted yesterday afternoon put
new phase on the situation and this
morning it was decided to dissolve the as
sociation and allow each road to do its own
switching. Superintendent Boyce of the
Rock Island and Superintendent Bessler of
the Burlington together with several old
members of the directory of the switching
association went to the stock yards to per-
sonally assume direction of the freight.
The striking switchmen were told their SER
vices were no longer needed and new men
were put to work. Superintendent Marsh
went to the district yards this morning at
the head of 800 men to take charge of the
police arrangements there.
GAVE UP THE FIGHT.
The strikers have given up the fight.
They will this afternoon send committee
TO the railroads asking to be taken back at
the old rate of wages. There are seven
engines from five different roads at work.
Trainmaster Martin says the yard will be
clear this afternoon The strikers are not all
Union or Brotherhood men and it is said
tuub tuO mas dlTedUY
informed the strikers that they have
no just grievance. The strike is isunauthor-
lied by the Union, and it is believed that it
will prove serious.
Mr. Chapel said that none of these
strikers would be re-employed. The road
is endeavoring to do business under police
protection but Its freight traffic is pretty
efectually tied up. The switchmen. in
giving their side of the story, said they
objected to Welch only because he is ty-
rannical.
The difficulty has cost those directly in
terested not far from half a million dollars.
Packers who shipped their meat to take
certain steamers have been unable to do so
and the contracts made have been for
feited. There are $50 cars OF dressed meat
in the yard and each car contains $4,000
pounds and the loss at the market price
means considerable. Swift q Co.'s cars,
which have been standing since
Friday were opened this morn
ing and the contents found to be
spoiled totally unfit for anything but tank
ing purposes. None of the big packers with
the exception of Armour & Swift did any
killing today and they did but little. Buy
ers and sellers this morning assembled and
discussed the strike. They made no pur-
chases. The receipts were decidedly large.
The police have driven all the strikers out
of the yards and have formed Gordon
about the the place to keep them out
When news came TO the striking switchmen
assembled in conference that the Switch
mems Association had been dissolved the
meeting broke up hurriedly the strikers
realizing they were striking at empty space.
