The strikers have been in Escret session
at Lsdwith Hall all tho morning receiving
reports from the various pockets on duty.
One OF the officials said to reporter:
1--WE are inst as strong as We were on
Friday night. The railroad officials
have been giving out false reports to the
newspapers in order to discourage the
strikers"
The strikers still maintain that they
have yet another card to play, but are
reticent to Just what that card is. It is
said that the press committee OF the
strikers iss preparing report for publi-
cation which will show the position OF
the local assemblies and the connection

THE W4snINafoa Flas oomPANr.

COnthIsnIc ntIon Stating Its Griev-
aIrca with the Delaware Fire
Company.
The following statement is made by the
official representatives, Of the Washington
Fra Company:
HALL OF THE WASHINGTON s. +. Il. AND II.
AND Il. COMPANY, No 70 The Citizens of
Wilmington: In order 10 DO properly un-
derstood we desire to make thls statement,
as we believe the safety OF our lives re-
quires US TO do something. We speak In
regard TO the trouble we have had with the
Delaware Fire Company. As many are
aware, on June 18th, In responding to an
alarm from box No. AZ, whom wa turned the
corner of Front and French streets the
Delaware ran their tongues into the back
part OF our engine, endangering the lives
of the men who were on there. This was
not unavoidable, as we can prove by out
siders. A few moments later when we
started to turn on Sluice road they tried to
cut us OF or run us into the carriage fac
tory, where they themselves brought up,
resulting In so injuring one OF their horses
as to neeesSitate killing MIN.
We sent a committee to walt on the chief
engineer, but he refused to do anything.
Again on July 25th, In responding to an
alarm from the same box, NJ. AZ, when we
started to go by the Delaware the tlllerman
turned the hind wheels toward our horses,
striking our driver and engine with the
ladders and compelling US to pull up on
the pavement, of the street entirely.
We then sent communication to the
chief engineer demanding an Investigation.
Again he tells us that, like all other cases
OF the same nature, no ore knows anything.
Now that is not true. Ii the chief engineer
hadG investigated the matter properly and
had been man enough TO take some action
himself, instead OF allowing the Delaware
Fire Company's members to dictate to him,
as.it looks to us though he had done, be.
cause the Delaware favored his election
while we opposed 1t. he would have found
several persons who knew something about
1t. We can produce eye witnesses not
members OF our company to prove
that the Delaware has been In the wrong
In the ahovs-nsmed troubles. There have
been several instances previous to this that
the Delaware has acted dirty with us, but
not to endanger our lives as In the two last
cases. We don't know why the Delaware
has 1t In for us. Small troubles will happen
occasionally, but are soon forgotten. We
expected protection from the chief sngi-
neer and thus to avoid any further trouble
In the future. But as the matter now stands
we will have to protect ourselves, which we
will try to do. We desire to be peaceable, but
we propose to respond to alarms of fire aud
fulfill our mission as long al We are fire
company.
BY order Of the company.

New York, Aug. 12.-At the Grand
Central depot this morning there no
longer existed even the semblaree Of o
strike. Passenger trains were coming in
and going out with all the appearance of
their usual regularity, the inflow and out
flow OF passengers was az great as ever,
and excepting for the presence OF an
unusual number of policemen idly stand
ing about the various en- RANGES to the
depot the most careful observer would be
unable TO perceive any lingering indica-
tions of the tie up than on Friday night
threatened to be so formidable.
General Manager Toucey arrived at his
ofliee at $50 O'Clock this morning and
found there awaiting him telegram
from the assistant superintendent of the
Syracuse yards, stating that order has
been fully restored there and that trains
arc running without interruption. This,
he said, ended the strike.
Vice president Webb, who also reached
his Office at 8.30 O'clock, said that psssen-
ger trains will be run to-day on the same
schedule as yesterday Arrangements are
being complsted to iun out freight trains
from the Sixty, fi',G street and Thirty
third street yard. He said the road had
all the men it s2aedi now. He did not
know whether any Of the old men had
been taken baes: or not as every man en-
bloced was taken on az new man.
There ia smaller police force on
guard ct the Grand Central depot to-day
than there was yesterday and there was
nom visible in the yards, but on each OF
the bridges crossing thu tracks from the
depot to Fifty fourth street there were
stationed three or four policemen.
AT $50 O'Clock this morning there were
assembled few men at the employment
bureau seeking work, but the doors had
not yet opened.

The knights OF LnbOr Consult
Deputy Attorney General Whis-
HKers
ALBANY, N. T., Aug. ia committee
from the Knights Of Labor waited on
Deputy Attorney general Whitaker and
inquired as to the right of the Central
railroad to employ Pinkerton detectives
and others to guard its property. Mr.
Whitaker told the committee that the
railroad company had perfect right 10
protect its property and to hireagents for
that purpose. Under section 635 OF the
penal code it is felony to injure rail
road property and it is supposed, under
section 70 of the penal code, that the
people are employed by the railroad
company to prevent possible commits
sion of a felony, but they are justified in
using only necessary force to prevent
such injury.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 9.-Thers 8 no
getting over the point that the str Ike in
Buffalo is a serious one vFith the proba-
bility that it will be evSn worse. This
morning the scene about the Exchange
street depot was most unusual and
confusion reigned everywhere. The
first evidence that anything out
of the ordinary wRs in progress was
the sight of Michigan Central express
stalled across Main and Washington
streets. She could 20 no further as every
track in the great train house was osou-
pied with cars, and the incoming flyer
could not be Trosived. This tram was
due at 7.l5 O'Clock, but 1t was $50 bs-
fore she pu led into the depot. The
train consisted of a day coach and
seven sleepors, all filed with passengers.
Before passage could be cleared for tho
cars, most of these people, with grips in
hand, walked the TRACTS into the train
house. Train No. 6 for New York did not
have q full crew to take it out and Train
master Msloney acted as conductor as far
IS East Buffalo. When that point was
reached sufficient men were obtained and
the train proceeded to New York.
In speaking OF the matter to the re-
porter Mr.. Maloney said; "When we got
to East Buffalo the men weakened and
there was no more trouble as far an that
train was concernsl."
At 9.l5 O'Clock the limited due to
leave at $50 c'olook was still in
the depot. 1t was stated there
would be no difficulty in getting

Pardon Asked for Edgar q. Coohlins
Confined in the Reform School
Bangor Constable Matters.

At the meeting of the Governor and
Council Wednesday the following business
was transacted:
Rev. s. F. Pierson Of Christ's church,
Portland, appeared In benalf of the petit
TONERS for the pardon Of Edgar 4. COch-
ling who is now in the Reform School for
theft. Among the petitioners were Judge
Gould who sentenced the boy, and the par-
ties from whom the boy stole. The state
ments made by Mr.. Pierson we're to the
effect that the lad Cochling was one Of
three boys who stole from the Internation-
al Steamship Co., articles to the value Of
81 80. That the other boys were unpun-
ished and that had Cochling been sent to
Jail for the offence instead Of to the Re-
form School he would have been confined
but 20 days. The boy is now about II
years of age and has been confined one
year. Mr.. Pierson said the lad had q good
home and would be surrounded by good
moral influences we're be released from
the school. The matter was tabled.
The attention of the Council was then
called to the case Of James T. Mayville,
special liquor constable Of Bangor. for
whose removal petition was presented at
former meeting. An affidavit was fled
in the case to the effect that Mayville ha !
been seen intoxicated At Orono within the
past three weeks. 1t didn't appear, how
ever, that any notice had been given to the
respondent that he might be present at the
taking Of the affidavit and the evidence
being of an ez pa,ts nature the matter vas
tabled.
The Executive Council voted Wednes-
day that in their judgment an additional
constable was required for Penobscot

A Colored Girls Influence in the
Printing Office.

Frances Flood, the young colored woman
who was given employ ment at the bureau
of engraving and printing few weeks ago,
has effected wonderful revolution among
the plate printers at that Establishment. Ii
was decided to make Miss Flood . plate
printers assistant. When one of the women
'helpers" resigned, Miss Flood Was de
tailed to succeed her. The printer to whom
she was assigned declined her assistance.
He was discharged Another printer who
refused her services was also discharged.
Then came the change.
The other printers who had previously
wrangled continuously with their woman
"helpers" suddenly adopted different tao
tics. They began to get along well with
their "helpers," and what had previously
been an endless source Of worry to the
chief of the bureau ceased almost imme-
diately. The printers we're afraid il they
did not keep on good terms with their
''helpers" that the colored girl would be
z ven to them as a substitute. Miss Flood
is still in the bureau in . messengers ca
pacity. but her presence has accomplished
more for the peace and quiet of the estab-
lishment than all other causes combined.

Ex- Tsulbee IL Sarcastic
to His Surgeons.

WAsHINeros, Mar Sex Congressman
Tanlbee Of Kentucky. who wac shot on
Friday last at the capitol by Cores.
pondent Kincaid, is not out of dan
ger by any means, but his condition this
morning is not as serious as was feared
yesterday. An operation was performed
and the ball located, but not removed.
During the operation the patient was under
the influence of anas'heties. 1t was found
that the ball, after striking the bone, had
glanced downward, passing close to the
large arteries, shi was now located in the
back part of tas throat, behind the lsrynx
1t was decided that the ball could do no
harm in its present position, and no further
effort will be made to remove il until the
patient gains strength.
1t is sal that if the physicians had
merely looked into Mr.. Taulbee's mouth
they could have fairly located the bullet
without cutting great cash in his face for
the purpose of probing. When the Ken
tuckian recovered consciousness after the
operation and realized the blunder the
ply sicians had committed he 10 re ported to
have said
"Gentlemen, / prrposed educating my
boy II the profession of surgery, but after
being the victim of your operations today
think l will change my determination un-
less l am satisfied he will become more
skilful than any of your number is"
Mr.. Taulbee has written his will and
made such other disposition of his affairs
as may be necessary in case of his death
He has repeatedly said that he does not
wish Mr.. kiucaid prosecuted under any

about as much physically as Mr.. Taulbee

from his attack of typhoid fever, which left
him in weak and nervous state. The &C.
currences of last Friday strung him up to

depressed. The ,ubse
quent mental worry and bodily eIertion
required Of him have left him in q state of
almost complete nervous exhaustion.
