MORE TRAINS BURNED.
Great Excitement About Buffalo
Wrong Sort of Deter
mination.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. Is, 1S92.-Ex-
citement over the strike of the switch-
men on the Erie and Lehigh Valley
Railroads, and over the acts of violence
and incendiarisms attributed to the strik-
ers continues.
At two O'Clock this morning word was
received that train of forty-two cars on
the Erie road, filed with fine merchan-
disc. mile east OF William street, was
burning fiercely, with no protection.
AT one O'Clock three more fires break
ing out simultaneously had been added TO
the list in the Lehigh Valley Yards.
AT fifteen minutes to three O'Clock the
passengers on the two traius on the Lee
high ana Erie roads which had been
ditched at William street, near the city
line, were brought to the station by
superintendent Brunn's special train.
PAINFUL DELAY.
Nobody was injured, but the delay of
four hours had been dreadful experience
which none of them cares to repeat.
Supt. Brunn then reported the fire still
raging among cars of merchandise in the
railroads yards at Cnecktowaga. and said
the Sheriff seemed powerless to interfere,
though he had called on him TO protect
the railroad property.
The trouble began after it had been
plainly intimated by the Erie officials
that Workmen from the east had been en-
gagged to take the place of the strikers.
This was the cause of the boarding and
delaying of trains by strikers at William
street.
Three sta.war5 policemen were sta
toned at the landing and in the hallway
leading to the office of Superintendent
Brunn and his associates yesterday.
BOUND TO WIN.
The strikers say they are determined to-
win the fight, and they assert that the
roads are losing heavily by not having
men TO perform the work of the strikers.
They say the Erie is thoroughly demor-
allied on account of the. strike, and that
every side track on the Buffalo Division
is completely blocked.
Two trains of freight cars standing on
sidings in Checktowaga. the railroad
suburb of Buffalo. were burned last
night.
The Lehigh called on the Sheriff for
protection. He sent six deputies TO the
scene and will swear in fifty more today.
The police have yards in seven out of
eleven precincts IN the city to guard, aud
all the reserves are called out. The man
arrested for assault has now been charged
with rioting.

LABOR CRANKS.
The Federation of Trades at Their
Usual Gaseous Session at
Trenton.
Special 10 the JERSEY citu Nesos.


TRENTON. Aug. Is, 1S92.-The annual
meeting of the New Jersey State Fedora
tion OF Trades began this morning in the
Assembly Chamber of the State House.
Sixteen local unions are represented.
They hail from Paterson, Newark, Jersey
City, Camden and Trenton. Mayor
Bechtel of Trenton delivered an address
of welcome.
Samuel Mellon, Jr., President of the
Federation delivered lengthy address.
He touched on the fifty-five hour law,
and made the following comment:--"It
may not be perfect. neither are nine
tenths of the laws enacted, but it
can be made SO, or nearly so by
wise and conservative consideration
OF the measure at this session. But so
far as its repeal is concerned, we should,
as body, bitterly oppose any legislation
IN that direction. The question of wages
Is not embodied in the act at ali, but is
left entirely with the employer and en-
ploye, aud will, in case of reduction of
the unorganized, demonstrate to them
the benefits to be derived from organi-
zation. and will have tendency to
strengthen our ranks in the future. The
sum and substance of the whole matter is
the organized bodies demand it, and are
able to adjust their wage disputes. The
unorganized desire it also. but do not
wish reduction in consequence and are
not in a position to dictate, and are
obliged to depend largely upon the gen
eroslty of their employers"
At the afternoon session, D. ElWood
Cook, delegate from Trenton, introduced
resolu ion condemning the mana
gers of the Carnegie Iron Works
who are desirous to crush out
organized labor. Earnest sympathy is
extended to the locked out .workmen.
The appeal issued in behalf of the locked
out workers of Homestead by the American
Federation of Labor and the Amalgama-
ted Association of Iron and Steel Work
ers was approved, and it was further
resolved that the Congress urge the
workingmen of New Jersey to avoid all
strikes so long as the struggle last in
Homestead. and to give immediate Pc
[ lntary assistance.

BABY CRIED FOR HOURS.
Incredible Folly of Young Hoboken
Parents-Neighbors Saved 1t.

While Officer Delaney was patrolling
his post along Adams street, about eleven
O'Clock on Saturday night. his attention
was called to the cries of an infant on the
second floor of No. 81 The neighbors
said the infant had been crying several
hours and he had better go see what was
the trouble. He went up to the apart
ments and tried the door. 1t was locked.
He tried to force 1t, but was unsuccessful
He then proceeded to the street and
procured long ladder. The infant was
the second story, and found out three
months old baby lying in q cradle, ex-
hausted from crying.
He carried it to the street and made
search for the parents. They could not
be found or none of the neighbors knew
whore they bad gone to.
Emil Bunker, of No 152 Adams street,
said he would take care of the baby until
it's parents returned, and Officer Delaney
turned it over to him. Yesterday morn
ing about five O'Clock, while Seageant
hathjen was going his rounds, man
came uD to him aud said someone had
got into his apartments and had stolen
Altmann. The Sergeant told him
he ought to be ashamed of
himself, leaving a young infant alone
for such length of time. 1t was eleven
o'clock when the baby was found, and
four O'Clock when Altman and his wife
got home. He said they had been to
picnic, and thought the baby would sleep
until they came back. If the officer had
not found it. the BABY would have been
dead instead of asleep when they came
home.
The baby was returned to them with
the understanding that they would take
better care of it in future.

Very Bad Way

New York's Crookedest Legislator in
Very Bad Way.
PEEKsKILL, N. Y, Aug. 15, 1892 Gen.
James w. Hustled, who has been i'll at his
Smith street mansion since his return
from the Republican Convention at Min
neapolis. is considerably worse. Night
before last he was restless and all day
yesterday he was Il very sick man. There
were several New YORK doctors present
yesterday in consultation.
His entire sickness was caused by a
hasty and unnatural checking of slight
illness while on the train en- route to
Minneapolis. One of the politicians on
the train gave him an abnormal portion
OF medicine, and his whole system was
poisoned.
His heart, liver and lungs are all af
fected. Most of his family hope for his
ultimate recovery, but he will probably
never be well man again.
Colonel Thomas Hustled, the eldest son
said this morning that two nights ago his
father was NOT expected to live through
the night
The doctors present yesterday would
give no hope. The General. they said
was between life and death, with slim
Sighting chance, though his indomitable
will was helping greatly.
AT eight O'Clock this morning he was
resting comfortably, having passed q
comparatively quiet night. He is still
very low.

realize any imminent danger, the cars
left the track and jolted everyone from
their seats. the cars following and over
turning upon them. Between the dark
ness and the suddenness of the accident
1T was several minutes before it dawned
upon them what had happened They
were all thrown in heap against the side
or the tunnel and stunned. AS quickly
as possible the employees of the concern

PEACE Of THE PAYROLLS.
Everything Lovely Between
the Mayor and the
Street Board.

The meeting of the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners this morning was
attended by about one hundred Iaborers
under instructions from individual mem
bers of the Board or committees, have
been laid off. The discharged men are
pulling wires to get put to work, inform
ing the Commissioners that they are
willing to take chances on not being paid.
The Commissioners, however, turn a deaf
ear to these men and appoint such men
as they want by resolution.
1t was expected this morning that many
heads would be chopped eff. but the Com
missioners have not been able to agree
upon what men to remove. AS result
nothing was done in the way of reducing
the present working force. Slowly, how
ever. many available positions are being
adopted appointing NJ. P. Moran, plumber
and meter setter at 1888 per month;
John Boyle. laborer on meters, $65; John
Crimmins and George Wood, coal passers,
at $50 each per month.
BLACK THURSDAY.
Vhe Board will meet again Thursday
morning and in all probability the con-
templated reductions in the department
forces will be made. In compliance with
request from Mayor Wanser the Board
advertised for bids for the carting and
trimming of the 10000 tons of coal
to be used at Belleville. Three bids
were received. They were for 80,
Edward ODonnell submitted the lowest
bid. For several years past John Nc
| Gritty, stevedore at Belleville, has been
| doing this work for 25 cents per ton. At
the hgures submitted the city pays $500
more for the work exclusive of the adver-
tising. This is one instance where Mayor
