THE ATTACK on SWEENEY A PERSONAL ONE
LOCAL swITCHMEN SAY HE Is POPULAR WITH

HIS ORDER AND WILL BE RE-ELECrED.
The swttchmen employed In the New-Jersey and
IIoboken railroad yards express their entire approba'
ton OF Grand Master 5weeney's action In declaring
the strike ended. They regret OF course. that theif
fellow workmen at Buffalo have been defeated, ou'
without exception far coud be learned yesterday
they admit that the fight hopeless, and say tha'
the sooner II was ended the better. They express
unbounded confidence in Grand Master sweeney, ana
say that the failure OF the strike Will not diminish
his popularity with his order, the Switchmens Mutual
Aid Association. It remarked by several OF The
men who had evidently watched the progress OF the
strike closely that Mr. Sweeney's position throughous
had been misunderstood and msrepresented. lhey
called attention to the fact that the men at Buao had
gone out by a majority vote. not by ORDERS from
Sweeney. Mr. Sweeney himself they said, was opposed
70 strikes and had not cOunselled this one, ou'
after the men went out he had stood by them loyalty
though maintaining all the while conservative
position lie had steadily refused to order general
strike although 1t in his power to do so, and his
orders would unquestlonaby have been ebeyed. He
was under constant pressure, they alegc TO call out
all the men between New-York and Chicago but
he Ibresaw n greater defeat than the one he has
suffered and wisely refused TO yield TO the demands OF
the locked out men unless the other raoad orgahiZa
tons would Join with him.
Mr. Sweeney is not to be regarded the men say, AS
reckless fighter but rather wise and conservative
leader whose services to the switchmen and 70 the
public generally during the recent trouble have been
invaluable. Dennis d. Sweeney, q sw1tchman EN-
ployed IN the Erie yard, Master OF the Local Lodge
No. l15, Of the Switchmens Mutual Aid Association,
viewed the matter In this light. lie also said that he
did not believe that the assault on Grand Master
Sweeney at Buffalo was indication OF the way the
men there generally regarded their chief. lie said
that there a small faction there who were opposed
to Mr. sweeney for personal reasons and he thought
the attack upon him was gotten up By them. lie
said that Mr.. Sweeney exceptionally popular
with the order generally, and that this assault would
make him still There Was not the slightest
doubt, he said, that sweeney would be reelected
Grand Master at the next National convention which
is 10 be held September 10 al Dallas, Tex.
At all the Yards a great deal Of business
being done Yesterday and II expected that there
would be than the usual amount OF freight r.
ceived during the next few days.

PROSECUTED BY TIE ELEMENTS.
a Man Whom the Lightning Has Thrice
Injured.

injured.
Isaac Ault, living south Of st. Glars
vile, has been previously afflicted by
the storms this summer. The old saw
that lightning does not strike twice In
the same place has, in this case, been
shown to be null and void. First, he
lost fine tree which he valued because
of it's beauty and variety, and because,
by its location it was an ornament to his
surroundings. Soon after some stock
was struck and killed, and during the
same storm pitchfork left sticking In
the ground was splintered. Just then
a lightning rod man, seeming business,
spotted him and had little difficulty in
persuading him that new house which
he had just built on hill was shining
mark for the "dread arrows OF clouds"
The house was fitted up with shining
rods at every gable, and Mr.. Ault went
to bed and slept even II there were
threatening clouds in the heavens, and
growls of thunder. But at the very
next severe storm, a bolt, launched by
the gods with q true aim, struck
chimney of the new house, demolished
it, ran along tin-lined gutter and down
a spout, running both, tore up the els
tern and pump and platform, and es-
capped into the earth through the water,
very probably Though this is not def
nitely stated, rendering it unfit for use,
and knocking the bottom out OF the
cistern.
Mr.. Ault's consolation is that the
lightning rod company agreed to pay
him $500, If their rods did not work
rightly. And he may also congratulate
himself that cold weather is approach
ing and the lightning has almost had its
innings.-St. CldhSuule Chronicle.
