Troops Stationed In the Erie Yards-Ne
Violence Attempted.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug. 20.-Twenty cars
Of live stock were delivered to the New
York Central by the Michigan Central at
Black Rock yesterday. A Black Rock
yard Ansine was coupled on to the train
st $50 O'Clock and start made for East
Buffalo. Non union switchmen were Ia
charge Of the trains and threw the
switches necessary to get out OF the
yards. No violence was offered and only
the undertope Of dissatisfaction that
arose from the crowd as they watched
the work OF the nom union competitors,
told their feelings. At the cross cut
junction stations soldiers are on guard
and the train soon passed within the
military lines. This was the only at
tempt made to move freight in the Cen.
trail yards in that section OF the city.
Not wheel was moved In the Erie yards
oetWeen Amherst and Hamilton streets.
An attempt Is being made by the Central
people 20 handle the local freight that IL
being offered at the Erie street station.
A detac hment of troops is stationed In
the yards, but no trouble has occurred.
In the Erie var I, al far as the eye could
reach with the Seneca street crossing as
Z point OF observation, only one engine
could be seen moving cars. A short
string OF empty box cars was attached
TO u. Four men, supposed to be non
we're assem bied In small knots around the
crossings, but scarcely word was
spoken. Not a wheel was being turned
IN the Nickel Plate yards.
Chairman Burnell Of the state board Of
arbitration. said that he had no knowl-
edge that there was going to be- sympa-
thettc strike and no word had reached
him that the strike would spread any
further than IL had. He expressed dis
appointment that the matter could not
have been arbitrated.

BunAio.
BuyyALo. N. Y, Aug. 2o.--A commit
~ OF twelve taxpayers, living In the
vicinity Of the railroads where the strike
Il in progress, calied upon Sheriff Beck
and protested against the great expense
OF holding tho militia here, when in their
opinion there was no need OF II. They
ssksd that the National Guard be re-
moved at once unless the sheritf could
fnd some way of footing the bill other
than compeiiing the taxpayers to pay It..
One policeman, they claimed, was better
than 25 National Guardsmen.
A committee OF four strikers had Q
conference with Mayor Bishop and Sher-
10 Beck. They asked the mayor and
sherln to recall the troops. Some time
was spent In arguing, during which the
railroad corporations were loudly de-
nounced. The delegation argued that no
acts OF Law lessless bad been committed,
and that IL was useless waste of money
20 keep the great number OF troops hero
: st such an expense to the county.
"We do not want anyone to come from
New York and dictate TO as" said one OF
the men. ave are law-abiding citizens
and are only demanding the rights We
"Now," said Sheriff Beck, 1--WE don't
know what will happen, but we do know
that on Sunday night the property of the
railroads vas set fire to and destroyed,
and that passenger trains were held and
other unlawful acts were committed.
The militia 10 merely here to see that
these things do not occur again. The
troops are not here to protect the rail-
roads, but to preserve peace and to sup
press riots.
Mayor Bishop said that as soon as
business was resumed and men and trains
passed unmolested, the Dtroops would be
withdrawn.
"Well. gentlemen" said one OF the
party, 1--WE have received the answer and
withdraw. The answer means that the
militia will not be withdrawn until we
are compelled to emigrate and Others
have been brought to fill our places.
One Of the men stated that the delega-
tiop represented the brotherhood OF
trainmen, the switchmen's union and
non-union men. The supervisors COM
mittee on laws and legislation will hold
. special meeting today to consider the
advisability OF calling a special meeting
of the supervisors to take action on the
matter of the retention OF the troops.
There 10 but little doubt that the meet
ing will be called. The county super
visors are protesting vigorously against
the expenditure OF any more money.

Tho strike st Buffalo Does Not Decrease
East Bound Shipments.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-Thus far the strike
at Buffalo has not had the effect Of mater
tally. reducing the volume Of east bound
shipments from Chicago. The Michigan
Central was notified by the New York
Central yesterday that 1t need not hesi-
tate to forward all the live stock and per-
ishabls freight that was offered, as there
would DO no trouble In handling 1t east
OF Buffalo.
Some OF the roads, however, will only
accept shipments Of perishable freight
where tho shipper is willing to risk delay.
To avoid such risk many shippers are
turning over this business to the Penn
sylvania, Chicago & Grand Trunk, and
Baltimore & Ohio, and these roads are
experiencing some difficulty In providing
cars enough to meet the increase I'm their
business. The Nickle Plate has received
instructions to receive no more perisha.
BILE freight until further orders.

with ten switching crews, and II has In
quarters more than the number Of men
normally employed in sending out the
Erie's daily quota OF twenty trains east
bound.
The Central road is moving traffic In
its yards for the first time since the strike
began. The Lehigh road has In one OF
cials assert, to move its traffic under pro-
lection, and the Nickel Plate is possibly
the only road affected which may not
have secured help. II the roads are not
absolutely crippled, the volume OF traffic
moved must prove that fact.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 2o.--The strike OF
the switch men now in progress in Buff
ialo came very near precipitating crisis
in Detroit early yesterday. An attempt
was made by the Michigan Central off,
cials to ship number OF switchmen to
Buffalo on the Niagara Falls & Buffalo
express which left at 12.45 a. IN. They
were to take the p aces OF strikers, but
the conductor refused to take his train
out with the meL on board, so they were
taken TO hotel for the rest OF the night
Any further attempt would have no
doubt resulted In a strike here. The men
yesterday crossed the river to Windsor
and took the Grand Trunk train for their
destination.

Work.

ELMIRA. N. ", Aug. 2o.-SIxty- Ave
men were brought to sayre yesterday
and put to work. After several hours
they quit, saying they would not take the
strikers places. Only one train was
moved out OF 5ayre. The scene OF trou-
bic, however, was transferred to waveriy
and several exciting episodes took place.
The company sent two engines from
6ayre TO Waveriy and there they were In. !.
tercepted by the strikers. The sheriff
drew up two lines and forced one engine
through. While this was being done
the strikers prevailed upon the crew on
the other engine to abandon IL and It
had to be taken back to Sayre. The COM
pany declared It's determination TO move
all The trains, but whether they will be
succcssfui is doubtful, as the non union
men have all refused to 60 to work and

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. 2o.-The print
cloth market has been very firm during

sell at the price offered by printers. 1t is
believed that mill men fear further in =

THE HOFFMAN CASE.

The Hoffman trial came to an end
last week Thursday, after lasting for
ten days. The jury rendered verdict
for the plaintiff for $1,000, payable in
the stock of the B. & S. X. r. Co, at
par. This was in accordance with the
charge Of the court to the effect that,
if they found that the plaintiff was en-
titled to recover anything, it could be
paid only in stock, as there was a writ
ten agreement to that effect. There
was some oral testimony offered to
modify or set aside that agreement
but the court charged the jury that the
evidence was not sufficient to warrant
the court in submitting it to the jury
for the purpose of changing written
contract and that the contract must
stand Another allegation of the plain
tiff was that the defendant had acted
in bad faith in leaving the right of way
agreed upon, and locating its road on
another line. The court charged that
the evidence was not sufficiently clear,
precise and indubitable to warrant the
court in submitting the question to
the jury whether the company acted
in good faith in Locating its road.
The plaintiff insisted that defend
ant was trespasser in going outside
of its defined right of way in erecting
Golfer dam, head race and new dam,
unless authorized by prior agreement
with Hoffman to that effect. The
court admitted evidence to show under
what arrangement this work was done,
and to ascertain whether or not, in the
absence of any prior agreement, Mr..
Hoffman assented to the work.
The trial was watched with interest
all through. 1t will probably go to the
Supreme court.
