Grand Master Clark Says.
CHICAGO, August 25.-E. E. Clark. of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, grand master of the Order of
Railway Conductors, while here on his way
to Buffalo in response to the request of Grand
Master Sweeny to take part in the proposed
conference of chiefs of various organizations
of railway employees, in an interview, said
a. far as he knew the conductors had no
grievance to right, and added: "But that
may develop after I have arrived on the
scene, I cannot predict. Unless our men
have grievances to settle, we will not 60 out,
as we do not care to express any Sympathy
in that way.n

New COMPLICATIONS.

BUFFALO, N. Y, August 24.-About fifty
switchmen employed by the Western New
York and Pennsylvania quit because they
were asked to handle New York Central
freight. The men have no grievances, but
went out because their union demands that
none of its men yet at work shall handle
freight from roads having new forces of
switchmen. Thirty car handlers employed
on the Lehigh trestle on the water front
stopped work and told their yard mister
they would not resume until the grievance
of the swltchmen was settled. The men
were not dissatisfied with their condition.

The Strikers Capture Suspension
Bridge.
BUFFALO, N. T., August A-The Buffalo
rioters are spreading out and creating trouble
at other points. They visited Suspension
were making up and sending out freight
trains. A lot of toughs from Buffalo visited
the yards and drove the switchmen and yard
men away. The strikers hourished reyolv-
ers and two or three shot in the air. The
police of Suspension Bridge rushed to the
scene, but the strikers were too strong and
too well armed for them to do anything.
The Central authorities called upon the
shenff of Niagara county to protect their
property, telling him that they would hold
the county responsible for all damage to
their property.

No New Men Will be Discharged.
BUFFALO, N. Y, August N.-Striking work
men OF the LehiRh Valley road will be taken
back only as individuals. As laid down in
the circular of President Mcleod, no new
man whose services are satisfactory will be
compelled to give up his position in order to
make room for men who deserted the COM
pany.
The Erie road, it is said, will adopt SINH
lar course in treating with the old men.
No concerted effort has yet been made by
the old employees of the Lake Shore to regain
their places. It is thought very likely that
large percentage of the men on the various
roads who struck through sympathy will be
eventually restored to their places.

ton will be taken by them in the matter, es-
pecially in view of the fact that the epidemic

Governor Flowers Idea.
NEW YoRK, August ga SPECIAL to the
World from Utica says that Governor Flower
stopped there on his way to Albany, and re-
ferring to the strike, said: 81 am inclined
to think that the strikers made bad move
and had tho president of the Central arrested
fos violating of the laws Of the state, they
could have had him convicted and fined
$500 or imprisoned for one year. Last win
TOR the legislature passed law making it
obligatory for railroad company to give q
days pay for ten hours, and pay extra for
al over that signed the bill and the
strikers had a good chance to make test
case. Why did they not do that? If they
had done 60. think they would have won

balance of fifty millions, und revenues, not

do in the way of storms. The fury OF the
Storm did not last over quarter of an hour,

Several tents were blown down, and those

fell. Everything not well sheltered was
soaked with rain and good deal of discom-
future was the result. The rain also marred
somewhat the beauty of the down town deco
