The Crisis Reached i'm the
Strike at Buffalo.
WHOLE STATE GUARD CALLED OUT.

Plot Given Away to Burn the Lehigh
Valley Trestle--Railway Officials De-
mand That the State Protect Their
Business and Governor Flower Prompt
1y Responds-Lake shore Switchmen
Join the Strikers-Brakemen and Fire
men Talk of Going Out-A Decidedly
Serious Situation All Around.
BUFFALO, Aug. 1S-At conference last
night, at which there was present Sheriff
Beck, Mayor Bishop, Brigadier General
Doyle and Superintendent of Police Nor
ganstern, representing the civil authori-
ties and II. w. Walter Webb and ex-
Senator Daniel II. Mcmillan, Wilson S.
Bissel and Z. Carlton Sprague on behalf
of the railroads, it was decided to issue a
call for the entire state National Guard.
Several prominent citizens were also pres
ent. 1t was with the greatest relunctance
that Sheriff Beck and Mayor Bishop final
ly gave their consent to appeal to Gov
ernor Flower to call out the entire state
National Guards. The governor has re-
sponded and Twelfth and Twenty second
Regiments, Tenth Battalion and Sixth
seperate companies were ordered to the
scene at once.
A Plot to Burn a Trestle.
The immediate cause of the calling out
of the entire National guard of the state is
the discovery of a plot of the striking
switchmen to burn the Lehigh Valley
trestle. A citizen whose veracity is un-
questioned overheard the plot and in
formed the authorities.
They Argued with the Sheriff.
1t was difficult to overcome the reluc-
tance of the sheriff. Ex-senator McMil-
Ian said, that "the sheriff said the yards
presented a quiet aspect at present, and
we showed that was because the road had
not begun moving its freight with the
non union new men. Then we showed
him how the trouble would begin. The
strike extends from East Buffalo to Nj
agara Falls and involves the West Shore,
New York Central, Erie, Buffalo Creek
and Philadelphia and Reading roads
The sheriff plainly saw that 1000 or even
1000 militiamen scattered over that area
would not count for much, while this
number would be Insufficient and in our
opinion would cause bluujshed."
Lake shore SwiiChmen Strike.
Al IA. m. today the Lake Shore switch
men were called out. They all dropped
work and obeyed the order. The state
board of arbitration had consultation
with the railway officials yesterday after
noon and urged the settlement of the strike
by arbitration. They would say little of
what took place, but in;imated that the
railway officials did not take to the sug-
gestion, and preferred to fight it out. If a
settlement does not take place soon the
board will investigate the strike.

clined to work because they feared moIes-
tation. Many of them returned to their
places this morning. We have assured
them ample protection and 1 enter
tain no fear of results.
New York Must Provide Protection.
"The situation resolves itself into this:
@We can run this road now this minute
with the men we have at our disposal if
we can guarantee them sure protection in
the discharge of their duties. The state
81 New YOrk must do tnau au once. we
Are in no trouble whatever for men. All
we want is soldiers to prevent the men be-
ing killed or injured at their posts. AS
soon there are soldiers enough we will
have switchmen and other help in abun
lance. The New York Central, as l said,
will run its road in its own way" Gen
.ral Superintendent VOORHEES, expressed
the same views.

BUFFALO, Aug. 1S--A strike of the loco

be ordered al any moment. A fireman in
the Lehigh Valley yard at East Buffalo
was ordered to do switching yesterday.
He refused to do 80 and was summarlly
discharged The case was taken up at
the fireman's NEE ting and discussed. A
committee was appointed to wait on the
Lehigh Valley officials and demand the
reinstatement of the discharged brother.

Brnkemen Ready Strike.
Grand Master Sargent, of the Lccomo-
tive Firemen Brotherhood is here, as also
is Grand Master Wilkinson, of the Broth

A brakeman stated yesterday that the
grand master has come here to assume
charge of the situation. If any of the
members are asked to assist in any way to
make up trains or perform any of the
duties which ordinarily belong to a
switchman a strike of the brakemen will
be ordered The men, SO the informant

the switchmen and willing to strike on

NANCY HANKS GREAT MILE.
She Trots the Distance in 2:Os Ia, Beat
ing All Records


CHICAGO, Aug. Is. - Hancy Hanks
trotted mile at Was ashington park yes
terday IN 2:O114 The great mare was
sent to beat her own record of 2:09 and not
only upset that mark so decisively, nut
broke all existing records of the trotting
turf. The 2:OSs4 of Maud s, dwindles into
obscurity and the worlds notch of 2:0sk
held by Robert Bonner's Sunol pales by a
full second before the clip set by the peer
les Nancy Hanks, now supreme queen of
.rotters. Twelve thousand persons saw
he unequalled feat performed. Her pace
was like the wind and her motion perfect
and when she finished the air was rent
with cheers.
How the Feat was Done.
Bud Doble held the ribbons. The mare
was sent slow mile to warm up and
ofterward sponged off. Accompanied by
a runner and pace-maker the start was
made. The quarter was reached in OBI II
but the mare was going as steadily as she
had begun and Doble sat like statue.
When she flashed past the half mile pole
in 1:03S4 there was a great murmur of sur
prise. When the q flag went down the
time recorded was :3615 and then for the
first time Doble began to urge the mare.
Into the stretch she thundered, Starr now
sending the runner level with Nancy and
as she came toward the finish Doble. with
voice and rein, coaxed her to the effort of
her career and thus forced her out to the
very limit of speed and endurance

yesterday decided the habeas corpus cases

st the Garfield park race track. The Kenny
ordinance, under which Murray was ar
rested for gambling, the court held was
void because of its never having been pub

seller the court held that the track was a
place of amusement and must have a IL

Enough Secured to Run the Entire Sys-
tenn.
READING, Pa, Aug. 1S.-One hundred
mountain men passed through here yes
serday afternoon to take the places of the
strikers on the Lehigh Valley railroad.
They came from Pine Grove, Frackyille,
and Cressona, and are all practical and
experienced grade men. and will be used
ON the mountains 1t was learned last
enough men already to fill the places of
every striker on the entire system. 1t is
lot believed, however that the trouble
will extend south of Packerton. Nearly
all of the old men were called upon person
ally yesterday, and the majority gave as
surance that they would stand by the
company.
Preparing for Long Siege.
Cars are being fitted at the shops with
hunks, mattresses stoves and tables and
were sent out last night The company
is making every preparation for the COM
fort and protection of the non-union men.
They will be fed and housed in the various
yards pending the trouble. Special police
men will accompany all trains east and
west and it is said that the non-unio on
men on all through freight trains are to be
given police power by having them sworn
in as deputy sheriffs. Several stock trains
were brought through from Buffalo via
Williamsport Tuesday night, and it is
likely that freight will be handled in this
same way until the block is lifted at Buf-
.alo, Packerton and Sayre.

A New Factory.

Chas. Simmons, who has been one oI
the engineers OF the express since the
railway was extended to this city, has
invented and patented refrigerator. II
has been exhibited to the people Of this
city, and is pronounced by those who arc
versed in the use OF refrigerators, to be
far superior to any at present in the mar
kct. 1t requires less ice than others,
and the interior keeps free from mois-
ture.
At n meeting of business men last week,
at the Office of Barlow g. Paterson, it was
decided to buy the patent OF Mr.. Simmons.
The intention Is to organize q company
with capital of $25, 200. The shares
will be $40 each, and the people here will
be asked to subscribe for the stock. Mr..
Simmons takes 200 shares.
Letters were shown the business men
from dealers in refrigerators, who have
seen the new refrigerator, and they have
declared their intention of taking them in
large quantities. One dealer In New York
says he can handle about 4, 900 per year.
1t is estimated that the refrigerator
factory would give employment to about
500 men. The wood used will be hard
wood.
This factory would prove OF great adj
vantage to Alpena, and we hope it will
not be long before the committee have
disposed OF all the stock.

Judge Allan B. Morse.

The Opera House was not large enough
on Monday evening of this week, to
hold all the people who desired to hear
Judge Allan b. Morse, tho Democratic
candidate for Governor OF Michigan.
The seats were all filled and a largo num-
Der had TO stand. Judge Morse is an
eloquent and vigorous orator, one of the
best campaign speakers that has appeared
before the people OF Alpena. Protection
was shown In its true light as a robber of
the many to benefit the few; system
that compelled one man TO give part of
earnings TO another, and receive In re-
turn no recompense. 1t had made few
enormously rich, but at the expense of
the many. and 1t had brought about
state of things whereby large part OF
the people were mere slaves and but
few steps from actual want. They could
live Tomorrow on what they earned to-
day, only being able to earn enough to
keep the hungry wolf OF starvation and
want one day off.
bringing up the old war issues, he spoke
very decisively, and concerning the base
charge made against him last Saturday
night by Judge Kelley, that he had taken
off his G. A. r. button when he became
the Democratic candidate for Governor
he stated that it had never been his GUS
tom to wear the badge except at reunions.
He pointed to his empty sleeve, and said
he carried with him a better badge to
prove he had done his duty to his coun-
try.
In clear and vigorous language he
showed the injustice done in giving a
bounty to sugar growers, and could not
understand why the farmers who raised
wheat, corn, oats, and other agricultural
products, had not an equal right to a
bounty.
He did not believe in system like the
protectionists, which created by law fav-
ored classes; that helped one industry at
the expense of another. He denounced
the present system Of government that
heavily handicapped the poor in the race
for livelihood. He was opposed to an
aristocracy maintained by law, and be-
lived in equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. That was the true
Democratic doctrine.
A few remarks were made by tho we'll
known Hon. Spencer o. Fisher, after
which James Mcnamara addressed the
large audience and made good tariff
reform argument.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1892-10-26

John Il. Rich, the Republican candidate
for Governor, delivered q political address
at the Opera House last Saturday even
ing. He Is the best Republican speaker
that has visited Alpena this fall. His
main argument was an ingenious one, but
very delusivc, and cannot be sustained by
facts. His doctrine was that the tariff
tax was paid by tho foreigner, except
the sugar tax, and that the prosperity of
this county was due TO the protective
tariff To prove his statement that the
tax was paid by the foreigner he stated
that the immense wool crop of Australia
was worth no more than much smaller
crop was worth before the Mckinley bill
became a law, and that the price Of Aus
tralian wool had fallen equal to the raise
In the tariff tax. A protective tariff, ac-
cording to Mr.. Rich, had reduced the
price OF foreign wool. Now It Is a fact
that the American cotton crop this year
is the largest ever grown In this country,
and II Is also fact that 1t is not worth
any more than a far much smaller crop
was some years ago. Wheat has been
reduced In price from $1.00 TO 65 cents.
Now what caused the great decrease
In the price OF American wheat and cot
ton? IL the Mckinley tariff has been the
cause OF reducing the price Of the Aus
tralian wool, then IL must be equally re-
sponsible for the great decrease in the
price Of American cotton and wheat. IN
the foreigner pays the tariff tax, why does
the government pay rebate TO certain
firms who export meat and oil? II the
tax Is paid by the foreigner, why have
