WILL ABSORB A ROAD.

Indication That the Northern Pacific
Will Gobbfe the Wisconsin Central.
ST.. PAUL, Aug. go. Notwithstanding
the evasive answers of the Northern Pa
cific and Wisconsin Central officials To
questions concerning the reported ANAL
gamation Of those two railroads, there
Is no doubt that it is among the probar
bilities. Recent developments point
clearly to that conclusion and arrange
ments, ii is said, are already being made
in q quiet way for the absorption. AZ
present the Wisconsin Central Is so COM
pletely under the control Of the North
etn Pacific that the gobble win hardly
produce ripple. 30 far Is the general
public Ii concerned. About dozen Of
Gees will ~ abolished and their dutik<
devolve upon the corresponding Offices
III the Northern Pacific headquarters,
but this does not necessarily mean that
q dozen men viii be set adrift with all
their subordinates. The various de-
partments of the Wisconsin Central win
probably be made branches of the cor
responding departments of the North
ern Pacific and the present officers may
be retained in the capacity Of subordin-
ates.

The Western Passenger Association
Said to BE ON the Verge Of
Dissolution.
The Gould Lines Not Represented at
the Last Meeting at
Chicago.
Indications Point to the Absorption of
the Wisconsin Central by the
Northern Pacific.

CHICAGO. Aug. 2U. Since the last
meeting of the Western Traffic associa-
tion. and particularly since the Burling-
ton filed it's ninety days notice Of with
drawal, it has been generally conceded
in railroad circles that the organization
Is on the verge OF dissolution. Addi-
tionai evidence of this has just been fur
nished by the Gould lines in their fail
ure to send representatives to the meet
ing Of the board Of commissionerswhich
was held here during the day. The
meeting was called especially to hear
arguments and testimony from the
Transcontinental and Trans Missouri
associations. and yet neither the Union
Pacific nor the Missouri Pacific was rep
resented in any manner. The inference
il that Mr.. Gould regards thepresident's
agreement as a dead letter and will take
no part in the apparently hopeless efforts
to keep the Western Traffic association
alive.

Peaceful "a Homestead.

HOMESTEAD, Aug. S0.--All is quiet
here and but very few Of the locked out
men are to be seen upon the streets. A
careful investigation Of the shooting at
the railroad bridge has not yet entirely
cleared the mystery. The crew of the
freight train from which the first
shots are said to have come swear posi-
lively that there were no persons on the
train aside from themselves and that the
supposed shots were caused by the ex-
plosion Of signal torpedoes placed upon
the track by shifting crew.

Reported That General Carnes Lost Four
Men In . Fight Near Clinton.
CLINTON, Tenn, Aug. 20. General
Carnes, at the head Of the Chattanooga
complement, reached here at So'clock p.
m. He was warned that dynamite had
been placed on the track and he disem-
barked his men. formed them into
columns and started on the march to
Coal Greek. The night was dark and
the road wonnd through heavy timber.
Five miles east of Clinton the advance
skirmishers of General Carnes' forces
heard voices in the timber. and challeng-
ing. were answered with volley which
seemed to be all around them. No one
was hit and the skirtnish line fell back
on the main body, which was now rap
idly advancing. The firing increased,
but the nilitiamen stood their ground
like veterans. In Tennessee mines the
miners were In full retreat, carrying
with them several wounded. Four of
their dead were left in the underbrush.
General Carnes' casualties amounted to
four dead and six wounded.

It Il Used by Miners for Treachery.
Anderson Decoyed.
KNoxvLLE, Tenn, Aug. 20.-This
was the situation as known at Knox
vile at 1870 q. m: "A journal CORES
pondent has just escaped from the
miners. His report confirms some
rumors sent earlier in the night. Gen.
eral Anderson was captured by five men
coming under flag of truce. He
was snticed into the village by
promise Of safety and on turning .
corner he met q mob who took him
to hotel and produced letter to his
lieutenant. which was an order for the
surrender Of the stockade and fort.
Though threatened with banging he
steadily refused to sign the paper and
asked only that he be shot and his grave
marked that his family could find it.
He may be lynched.
The firing, which lasted all night, was
desultory. The miners claim they have
killed 1--WE men and silenced the FIRE Of q
howitxer. It Is silent, but probably 70

THE BUFFALO STRIKE.
Seven Of the Roads Tied Up Complsteiy.
-Four In working Orders

Four In Working Order
BUFFALO, N. ", Aug. 2O.--The
Lackawanna, the Buffalo, Rochester
and Pittsburg, and the Western New
York and Pennsylvania roads are the
only ones in full movement here, and no
one knows how long they will remain In
that condition. BY the calling out of
the switchmen on the Nickel Plate the
entire Vanderbilt system in Buffalo is
now tied up and the strikers are in
creased by nearly one hundred The
roads involved are now seven--the Erie,
Buffalo Creek, Lehigh Valley, New
York Central, West Shore, Lake Shore
and Nickel Plate. The others may be
involved later, although as long as they
refrain from handling boycotted freight
they will not be dragged into the fight
unless 1t seems absolutely necessary, the
leaders say. The Michigan Central runs
its passenger trains from the New York
Central station, but its freight goes into
the yards at Suspension Bridge, and it
employs no switchmen here.
The railroad officials profess to believe
that the strike is nearing its collapse.
The men say the battle is as yet only
begun, and that it viii include firemen,
trainmen, engineers and conductors, as
necessity may require, until victory is
won. The switchmen profess to be able
to hold ont Month at least. From
union standpoint the present strike
differs from that of two years ago, in
that it has been regularly called and
sanctioned by the grand master. This
strike will be duel to the death between
organized labor and its foes.

BATTLE AT COAL CREEK.
Twelve Miners Reported killed and Many

Twelve Miners Reported Killed and Many
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Aug. 2O.--It il
reported here that $50 soldiers whipped
5000 miners at Coal Creek. It is said
that twelve miners are dead and nearly
twenty wounded. The fight began In
the afternoon at Q o'clock. General
Anderson with his garrison Is holding
Coal Greek until the arrival Of the First
and Second regiments, with 1000 men,
and the posse of 5000 men under six
sheriffs, who are moving swiftly on
special trains to the scene, and march
thence to the relief and rescue Of Fort
Anderson. A committee of miners
waited on General Anderson and asked
him to surrender. They said they had
had enough Of bloodshed and wanted
peace, but the convicts were to be turned
over to them and the soldiers capitulate.
General Anderson told them to 90 back
and wait until the governor acted, but
only death stared them in the face il
they attacked the fort.
A few minutes before y o'clock the
miners began the attack. There were
5000 OF them armed with all sorts of
weapons. The return FIRE was ordered
by General Andersen. and blaze Of fire
from every side OF the fort belched out.
Some were killed outright, and many
wounded.
At the stockade they stopped and men
clambered over the walls to release the
convicts. The fort is some distance
from the stockade and still higher up.
The doors and entrances were thrown
open and the miners were at last IN pos-
session. They began to 6rder the con-
victs to leaveand had them all captured,
when General Anderson assembled ali
his soldiers at the side the miners were
on, and, moving the howitzer to that
side, began to lombard them. The
miners stopped ia the work OF releasing
the convicts and turned to get ont Of the
way Of the heavy fusilade Of bullets.
Again and again their leaders begged
them to fight, but they rushed down the
hill to escape the onslaught Of the SOL
diers. With never halt and never
rally they reached the bottom of the
hill bearing twelve dead and more than
twenty wouT.ded miners with them.
They hurried far out Of sight and reach
Of the guns. They then collected their
shattered and wounded forces, and il is
feared thereare more than fifty wounded
and more dead than reported.
Opinion is growing that an awful loss
