THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE.

business Badly Blocked at Albany and
SuiGsrs Cheerful.
ALBANY, N. V. Aug. 13.-The utter
absurdity of the statement that the
freight blockade has been raised is
patent to any one who is acquainted
with the situation here. z Not pound
of freight has passed West Albany, de-
spite the company's statement that
trains would be sent through there to-
day. Freight is being sent south over
the Hudson River division, but it is all
freight that has been held in the yard
there since last Friday. Freight comes
through from the West as far as the
West Albany yards, but 1t stops there.
When asked if the company would
try to force through a train, Superin-
tendent Bissell said he did not know.
Railroad men who have examined the
condition of affairs in the yard say it
will take nearly a week to clear out the
accumulation of freight there. Every
freight train that has gone out from
here has been manned by Pinkerton
men and heavily guarded.

SANGUlNE STRIKERS.


They Are Waiting TO Hear from tho Gem
erRI Executive Board.
New YORK, Aug. 13.-The impression
at the headquarters of the Knights of
Labor is that no new move will take
place in the nature of further tie-ups
until the General Executive Board
meetingSin session at Detroit to-day
takes some action on the present diff
fculty.
District Master Workmen Valentine
positively denies that the Knights
have given in or considered themselves
defeated because of the refusal of the
locomotive engineers and fremen to
respond to the call to abandon their
work in sympathy with the strikers.
This strike is not yet over" he
added, "nor will it be until the Central
people accede to our requests. This
fight is on for good SO long as the COM
pany deny us every request. We
wanted the trouble settled by arbi-
tration, but Mr.. Webb declines
to do this. Our men are strong
and as determined as ever to
win this fight. The Central manage
ment is too sanguine. The fight is not
ended and there will be Developments
tomorrow that will surprise some
people"

MEETING OF KNIGHTS.
Master Workman Lee Denies that He
Wrote the Central L.1ser.

Wrote the Central L-1ser.
New York, Aug. IA meeting of
the Knights of Labor from all the local
assemblies and many in the vicinity
was held with closed doors. Thomas
Godfrey presided and over 600 Knights
were present.
Much interest conferred in Master
Workman Lee as to how he would ex-
plain the letter alleged to have been
written by him to Mr.. Voorhees, of the
Central road last April.
Mr.. Lee, in q short statement, abso-
lutsly denied the authorship of the let
ter and branded it as q forgery. He
then outlined the present stu
alton of the strike and declared
that the knights would win. He added:
"If the sit uation requires it will see
that other bodies of the Knights come
out. Many others on the Central road
will soon follow our example. The
General Executive Board" he said,
"alone had the power to order on: at
one time the men on the roads through
out the country, and any apparent de-
lay In forcing q conclusion is because
we are awaiting the endorsement of
that body" Mr.. Lee stated that no
conference had been had with MT.
Powderly.
A vote Of confidence was then given
Mr.. Lee and the meeting decided to
leave the entire control Of affairs in
the hands of the executive officers.

A Question Of Great Interest To The
People.

To the Reverend Clergy of the city of Waterbury:
'Ye are the light Of the world 4 city, that is
set ON a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men
n candiestiok; and Il giyeth light to all that are
In the house, tyo light so shine before al
Siorify your father which is in heaven, There
fore ali things whatsoever ye would that men
should do to de he e :" g 595
and 9th chap,
Many of the clergymen of this city are
continually finding fault with the under
takers for not having funerals at the
church 1t the appointed time of services
Now, while this is very provoking to the
clergy, it is II thousand times more 80 to
the undertakers, and why they should be
accused by the clergy of delaying funerals
is a question beyond our power to explain.
While the undertaken fully appreciates
the nature of his high and holy calling,
we must not forget that he is acting in
purely business capacity for dollars and
cents. To assign any other reason would
be acting the hypocrite.
Now, what pleasure can there be for the
undertaken in witnessing the awful grief
of those who are left behindi Perhaps it is
u dear parent, whose only object in life
was to keep the family together and sacri-
fee all for their happiness. A thousand
and-one thoughts come into the mind as
they gaze the last time on the face of the
loved, one, and very often those whom
we are anxious to please look upon us
fercely,-as though we were guilty of a
cruel action when we undertake to place
II ~
heart cares to linger around such scene
rs this, which we have very feebly
described.
In almost every instance we are com
PEELED to perform the disagreeable duty of
removing the friends gently but firmly
from the casket.
Some of the clergy do not appear to
take this matter into consideration
this very important part of the question.
We think that the pulpit and altar afford
a grand opportunity of instructing the
people as to their duty of giving the
undertaken chance to get to the
church on time.
1t is the bereaved family and not the
undertaken who need lecturing. 1t is
sentiment with the family, but it Is bus
iuess with the undertaken, and we ap'
peal in all sincerity to our clergy to help
us attend to our business.
When the ministers of the living coop
crate with the ministers of the dead, then
and not till then, will this much needed
reform be brought about. We predict
however, slow progress, las death will al
ways have its sting"
Very Respectfully,
