-s-1--~--effffTrING FOOD.
= To supply food to non-union men or
even the soldiers, is regarded by those in
sympathy with the strikers as crime,
A Black Rock saloon-keeper, who is said
to have furnished dinner to the new men
from the Central yards, to-day not only
refused them any food but ordered the
gang that had been brought to the place
under guard of soldiers to get out. He
afterward told some of the soldiers be
was willing they should eat at the table.
When the forces in the neighborhood
OF the Lake Shore tracks on Elk street at
tempted TO get something to eat this
morning they were repulsed at many of
the doors even though they offered to
pay for the food.
The chief military officials now located
here tonight are satisfied that the calling
10 Buffalo OF over half of the National
Guard of the State was a wise and neces-
sary move. Adjutant-G Porter
with General DOYLE and other officers
made tour of all the military camps to-
day and their observations resulted in the
conclusion that the force here, consider
ing the great amount Of territory to be
covered and the vast amount of property
only this, but doubt was left in the minds
OF all the party whether the summoning
OF more troops would not be necessary.
General Porter shook his head when
asked how long the troops would remain
here. General Doyle to-day ordered an
extra company OF militia from HornelIs-
vile.
ATTEMPTED TRAIN-wRECKING
Erie express, No. l, due here at 1925 p.
of
miles east of Attica and about forty east
of this city, at 10 O'Clock Saturday night.
That it was the work of train wreck ers
there can be no doubt, as fish-plate was
found spiked to the underside of one rail.
Fortunately, only the engine ran off the
track; Five suspicious characters were
seen lettering in the neighborhood, but
they were not apprehended.
The engine left the track and tipped
partially on one side, the driving wheels
sinking into the roadbed. A wrecking
train was sent 10 the scene and the track
should be cleared by morning. All trains
nave orders to run with extra caution
during the trouble.
The engineer had the train under con-
troll and shut off steam, reversed the
engine and applied the air. brakes, bring
ing the tram almost TO standstill before
the obstruction was reached. The pas
sengers IN the front coach were thrown
nom their seats, while those in the Pull
mans were severely shaken up. No one
was injured beyond few bruises
The Erie has offered 81 900 reward for
the apprehension Of the culprits.

DEPENDS UPON THE FIREMES. 49,
The firemen have the whole thing in
their hands, said railroad man 10 an
Associated Press correspondent to-day.
II they go out you Will see the greatest
strike the world ever saw. 1t will not be
confined to freight trains, but prssenoer
trains will be involved. When the ire
men go out the engineers will be practi-
4 cally out, too. Chief Engineer Arthur
does not believe in strikes. but he will
not allow men to go on the road with
green firemen. When they strike the
road will be tied up. They run freichts
without the aid of engineers or switch
men. The hremen are very well organ
lied, but they are slow to go out. and
really am doubtful about the report that
they are going TO strike. They, too. are
well paid and have no grievance of their
own"
