SWEENEY IS TACITUEN.

He has Little or Nothing 20 say and Says
1.-THE Arbitration Board Gets no Ia =
formation.
BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 23.-Througb-
out the recent strike history here, the
Lackawanna men have been avowing al
lpgiance to the road. All their demands
had been granted hours and pay had
been fixed TO suit them being the hours
and rates, for which other switChmen
struck. To the Associated Press cor
respondent LaCkawanna men have al
frmed that they would tight for the
road and would never leave 10.
To-day a train load OF western freight
was shunted into the Lackawanna
yards from the Erie freight yards. Soon
after l:25 the men quit. Superintend-
ent Seabert, OF the road, was asked II 4
strike had been inaugurated in his
yards. There certainly is, or some
thing very much like it." was the re-
spOnse.
From another railroad man il was
learned that the freight 10 which the
men objected was believed by them TO
be from the Lchigh. This was mis-
take as the official claimed, as 1t was
ordinary lake freight.
Trains were running as usual al hour
after the strike. All this was about >
D. M, and two hours later for similar
reasons il is said the Switchmen in the
Buffalo, Rochester & PittSburg road
went out-adding 10 more 70 the idle
switchmen.
Master Workman Sweeney is gaining
. record for tacticurnity not equalled
among strike leaders. His own leaders
are completely in the dark as to what
his policy is, one member OF his eNecu-
tive committee having stated as much
TO the State Board OF Arbitration. To-
day MeSSrS. Donovan, Purcell
and Robertson attempted to learn
from the Grand Master of the
switchmen when, II ever, ne was going
to order cut the Switchmen now work
ing in the Jurisdiction affected by the
strike. Mr.. Sweeney practically re-
fused to give the arbitratorS any infor-
nation One member OF the Board
questioned Mr.. Sweeney very closely,
but nothing was elected TO guide the
Board in its action in ordering the in
yeStigation decided to-day.
The men all express implicit conf
dence in the Grand Master aud none
had any fault 10 find with him. When
asked II he took courage from the strlk-
ing OF the Western New York and
Pennsylvania men yesterday aud of the
Lackawanna to-day Mr.. Sweeney re-
piled: "Wel, not exactly encouraged,
II does not alter the situation mater
tally. They knew what the situation
was all along anyway. did not order
them out anyway
Mr. Sweeney continued: They went
out Of their own free will. did not
want them 20 be blaming me II the
strike should not prove a success"
Joseph Heimerle is Recording Secre-
tary and Treasurer OF Buffalo Lodge,
No. 80, Switchmen's Mutual Aid AsSO-
citation. He is one OF the leaders Of the
switchmen. When Grand Master Swee-
ney and Master Moriarty are engaged
in other affairs Heimerle takes charge
and directs the men.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad officials
sent word to Superintendent Morgan
stein that Heimerle was interfering
with their passenger trains. They were
advised to swear out a warrant charg-
ing him with asSaulting nOn-uniOn
swtehmen. This they did. He was
arrested. Heimerle furnished bail and
was released.

A WREATH OF ROSES.

Idly the maiden's fingers weave
A cleaning crown Of roses red,
And singing soft the while, she lays
The fragrant burden on her head.
For their swift death she does not grieve.
Nor sorrow DER such sweetness fed,
As threading sunny woodland ways
She listens for her lovers tread,
Enwrapped in bliss her soul reposes;
All. little she recks Of the grlcfs Of roses
Alasl the fairest hopes deceive.
0'sShe cannot dream what power dread.
With hand upliftod, by her stays,
To pluck her in the roses stead!
Fen while her breast with love doth heave
She droops amid the blossoms dead;
And to our dim, alfrighted gaze,
Despair, of helpless terror bred,
An awful unknown fate discloscs,
To whom girls no more than roses.

Here is another story of Mark Twain.
When he gots his first position as a
sub-editor on a California paper his
crOnies used to swell his record by
giving him exclusive news. One night
a friend brought in an account of a
fatal smash-up, and Mark, tickled
reading it. Here it is as it appeared in
the paper:
Distressing Accident-Last even
ing about 6 O'Clock, as William Schu-
yler, an old and respected citizen of
South Park, was leaving his residence

usual custom for many years, with
the exception of only a short interval
in the spring of 1850, during which
he was confined to his bed by injuries
received in attempting to stop a run
away horse by thoughtlessly placing
himself in its way and throwing up
his hands and shouting. which, if he
had done so even single moment
sooner, mustineYitably have frighten-
ed the animal still more instead of
checking his speed, although disas-
trOus enough to himself as it was,
and rendered more melancholy and
distressing by reason of the presence
of his Wife's mother, who was there
and saw the sad occurrence, notwith-
standing it is at least likely, though
not necessarily so, that she should
be accommodating in another direction
when accidents occur, not being viva
cious and on the lookout, as general
thing, but even the reverse, as her
own mother is said to have stated,

hope of a glorious resurrection up
