a Albany Yards.
ALBANY, N Y, Aug. 27.-The New York
Central officials say that the freight move
ment out OF the West Albany and Karner
yards was great Improvement over that
of yesterday. The Boston and Albany road
to-day informed the Central that they were
delivering too many cars to it, and the road
will be somewhat detained in clearing the
yards.
The yard at Karner, from personal in
spection, appeers to be much more crowded
than it was a week ago. There are several
hundred loaded cars in the West Albany
yards. The cars are very much in need Of
repairs, and the freight in them will have
TO be transferred.
LACK OF MEN IN THE SHOPS.
This work would have been done befor Q
this were it not for the fact that there are
not enough men in the repair shops to
do one-third of the necessary repairs. An
engine in the West Albany yards. as it
was passing over a switch known as the
Chinese puzzle, ran of. Ii was three
hours before the switch was again ready
for use. About 500 men were at
work in the shops to-day. Two
striking knights returned to work
in the blacksmith shop. About one-third
of the men In the shops are non-union men,

CLAIMS OF THE KNIGHTS.
A striking knight tonight said that as

work in the yards or at Karner. In bull
letin issued tonight the strikers say the
Central officials are giving out exaggerated
statements of the movement of freight
They deny that any of the knights have
applied for reinstatement.
Supt. Hammond of the Delaware and

Perhaps 1t Got It's Board Out of the
Log that urrounded It.
From the Chattanooga Ne,os
The following is rela ed by Frank Wyatt
of Rome, Ca, who has been visiting rela-
tives at Martindale, on the Chattanooga.
Rome and Columbus railroad, about thirty
miles south of Chattanooga Frank used
to attend Sunday school regularly, and is
considered truthful boy, without much
Mulhattonsm flowing in his veins. He
says:
MY cousin owns a water mill, and in
removing some Instructions found an i'm
meme log imbedded in the stream, which
must have been submerged for number of
years. The log had to be cut in two to
remove it, aud much to our surprise we
found it hollow. although it had every
appearance of being solid. One of the
negroes, lille examining the log, looked
into the hollow and thought be saw some
thing moving. He began using his axe.
and soon had the log cut in two in anot er
place.
Imagine our amaZsment when we dis
covered q live catfish which had grown to
an enormous size aud length. aud was so
completely wedged in the hollow as to be
unable TO move except to open its mouth
and wiggle its tail. The fish was very lively
and apparently in the enjoyment of excel
lent health
The question is how did the fish get into
the log, as the only means of ingress or
egress we could discover was a small. round
hole, not more than two inches in diameter
We surmiSed tnat he must have entere the
little opening when no larger than min

DEFEAT OF THE STRIKERS

CHICAGO. Aug. 27.-All the packing

every car that went out of the yards with
a private mark. 70 indicate that 1t Is
e.scab~ freight. and claim to believe that 1t
will not be handled by the regular men.
Thu, FIR there has been no trouble IN the
downtown wards. The men are all work

road. whose strike has no relation to the
stock yards affair.
THIRTEEN ENGINES WORKING.
Att o'clock this afternoon thirteen en-
Cines we're at work in the stockyards, hand

to move. The engines working belonged TO
the Fort Wayne, Northwestern, Milwaukee
and st. Paul, Baltimore and Ohio. Illinois
Central, Pan Handle, Michigan Central
and Lake Shore roads. In many
instances engines are being manned by
officials of the roads. An engine OF the

while making connections the Baltimore

POWER OF THE swrTCHMEN's ASSOCIATION
A mass meeting of railroad employees was
held tonight to refute the allegations that
the switchmen's association had 1t in Its
power 10 prevent the frequent outbreaks
among the men and failed to use its author
ity. OF the sWitchmen employed In
the various railroad yards In this
city, it is safe TO say that not more than
one-third belong to the association. Among
the switchmen at the stock yards not over
eight are members of the association, while
on the Chicago and Alton road there are
only three members That the supreme
council of the association was not
in sympathy with many Of the
strikes fnaugurated, Grand Organizer
Halls comments at the meeting tonight
on the Chicago and Alton affair show
plainly. He said: THE strike was begun
without cause and were the men members
Of our order such a strike would be quickly
settled by the men being ordered back to
work. We are not making war on any
man simply because he is not member
of our order. This strike on
the Chicago and Alton would
never have occurred had the manage
men listened to us at the tine of the last
big strike. Were our men only at work In
the yards the ASSOCIATION could control them
and half, yes, nine-tenths Of the strikes,
would be avoided.
''fn order that a strike may be proclaimed
the men must go through as much red tape
as the gravest bill has in the United States
