BUFFALO, Aug. 19.-By noon yesterday
5000 soldiers of the National Guard had
established lines-rather thin it is true
all ar ound the center of trouble in this
city and the strikers were sternly stopped
when they tried to break through At
one point in the morning the strikers
takin advantage of the "thin blue line"
gathered in great numbers and crowded the
pickets. They grew bolder and bolder
Until Capt. Kirby sent for renforcements
which were hurried forward. Before they
arrived the mob had become so threaten
ing that Kirby stepped to the front and
drawing his revolver said that the first
man who stepped beyond a certain line
would get shot. This stopped the mob,
and moment later the reinforcements
arrived.
Charged the Mob.
At another time the mob grew bold and
a charge was ordered which was executed
so promptly that the mob fled in all direc-
tions. During the afternoon in the Lake
Shore yard "a crowd of strikers gathered
and stoned two yard engines, breaking the
glass in the cab and driving the engineer
and fireman from their posts. A messen-
ger was dispatched to General Doyle for a
force of militia and pending their arrival
work was suspended. A few SklrmlSheS
here and there served to relieve the monot-
ony, but none of a serious nature
So the day wore itself OUT and night fell
upon situation that was little if any i'm
proved from the morning But few freight
trains were moved during the day.
Railways Refuse tn Ar bitrate.
The state board of ar rbitratian met in the
afternoon and prepared a circular which
was sent to the executive officers of the
roads on which the trouble exists. 1t
stated that the switchmen had expressed
a willingness to arbitrate, and required to
consent to an adjustment of the difficult
ties by such arbitration. Vice President
Webb returned reply which is believed
to embody the sentiment of the officials
the other roads. 1t was to the effect that
the Central had nothing to arbitrate.
McLeod's Emphatic Refusal.
The reply of President Mcleod, of the
Reading system, was rather savage. He
instructed General Superintendent Bon

state beard of arbitration informing him
that zone Sweeney" was willing to arbi-
trate, that "the time to ask or consider the
question of arbitration had passed when
the men abandoned the service OF the com
pany, destroyed its property, and threat
ened to murder it's employees. They are
now therefore, in my judgment, not enti-
tied to any consideration other than that
OF outlaws"

Directs Fast Time.
CHICAGO, Aug. 19,-Hal Pointer was
sent to beat the harness record of 2:O6A
made by Johnston in this city on Oct. 8,
1854, at Washington park yesterday. He
paced the mile in 2:05A, and not only
wiped out the mark shot at, but splin-
tered the 2:06 pacing record of Direct
and became th e side-wheeling champion
of the world. In connection with Nancy
Hanks feat Wednesday Washington park
has thus gained the distinction of break
ing two worlds records in AS many consec-
utive days. 1t was intended to have Di-
rect and Hal Pointer decide their match
yesterday, but Direct was not we'll, and
the event was declared off.
Did 1t without Skip.
The feat was performed as steadily as
clockwork. The horse had made three
slow miles warmer, and Frank Starr
and the old runner Abe Lincoln were along
as pacemakers. Geers drove Pointer AT
the quarter the time was 0:31$4; at the
half 1:0t -, and at the three-fourth 1874.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 19-At 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the entire force of
switchmen on the Nickel Plate road join
ed the forces of the strikers. The trouble
was precipitated by the discharge of two
men for refusing to switch New York
Central freight. At midnight the men on
the Lackawanna were working Inquiry
at the office of Supt. Seibert elected the
information that no intimation had been
given the company that the men intended
quitting.
Sargant May Call Them Out.
A very important meeting of firemen
and trainmen was held last night. The
old story that the engineers and firemen
on the New York Central would go out
was revived at late hour last night. but
nothing definite could be learned until
the meeting adjourned, when it was an
nounced that the firemen had authorized
Grand Master Sargent to call them out
whenever he thought it proper. Railway
officials openly state that cessation of
passenger traffic is an immediate prob
ability.
Engineers Getting Restive.
The engineers also held meeting and
decided that a committee of the brother
hood should wait upon Chief Arthur to-
day. The trainmen's meeting developed
the fact that they are ready to strike
should certain contingencies arise, Prac-
tically the situation is unchanged so far
as the trainmen and engineers are con-
cerned. The meeting lasted until after
O'Clock and was a spirited one.

Cashier Davis Refuses to Surrende err
His Books.
1NDIANAPoLIS, Aug. 19.-The sensation
al development in the Iron Hall difficulty
yesterday was the refusal of Supreme
Cashier Davis, who had just returned from
Philadelphia, to surrender his books to
the finance committee of the order for in
vestigation. The committee completed
an examination of Supreme Accountant
Walkers books and pronounced them all
right in every respect. When n demand
was made on Davis for his books he re-
fused. He offered no explanation for his
action, and as he could not be found
later there is a rumor that he has left the
city.
SOmerby Down on the Press
The attorneys and officers of the Iron
Hall have returned from Philadelphia,
and the receivership suit was reopened this
morning. Supreme Sustice Somerby says
he will go to Philadelphia and start new
Iron Hall. To a reporter he said he had
given his last interview to the newspapers;
that his treatment by the press had been
scandalous. The appointment of a receiver
for the Iron Hall by Judge Taylor is now
a foregone conclusion.

Stables and Other belongings of Alonzo

Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
DOVER, Nov. IA fierce fire broke
out in the stables of Alonzo Rust, back
of Kellum's carriage shops about 4
o'clock this morning. 1t commenced on
the inside and everything being securely
fastened when the fremen arrived
all that could be done was to
turn their attention to adjoining
stables and dwellings, suppressing this
they then turned their hose ON the
burning building and the fire was gotten
under control. In the stable were three
horses of Mr. Rust's valued at So o;
three carriages valued at $l25; about
800 worth of harness nearly new, be-
tween seyenty-five and eighty bushels of
corn besides a lot Of hay and stable i'm

500 or $500, with no Insurance

it was thought it might be Walter Nc.

He was a very sound sleeper and the
belief was that if he was in the stable he
became sufIocated before being able to
get out and died. McGinnis turned up
all right this morning.
The place where this fire broke out
seems to be renowned for fires within
the last two or three years. Nearly all
the fires which have occurred here have
been around this one place. It is near

shops of William T. Kellum, which were

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY has always been

GOVERNOR MCKINLEY has always been
regarded as an honest, fair, sincere man
till he went into this campaign But he
has been forced to defend the bargain
between the tariff robbers and the Re
publican politicians to such an extent
that he has lost that reputation. He
was never an eloquent speaker or a great
statesman. Heis neither now. Senator
Gray, in a speech in the Opera House,
quoted him as deprecating cheapness,
saying it was nasty in 1890, while he is
going about the country now praising
cheapness. That is not honest. Nc
kinley was mistaken then or
he is mistaken now. He has added
to that dishonesty, the unfairness and
duplicity Of preventing the publication
Of the labor statistics Of Ohio which have
been ready for months because they dc
not agree with his statements that the
wages have been increased by the Nc
Kinley bill. The report shows, on the
contrary, that capital has had larger
share in the profits Of industry thar
labor; that the specific amount Of wages
has decreased per man and that the
specific returns TO capital have been
greater per dollar Of investment.

Locomotlre speed ExperIments.

A few days ago some interesting expe-
riments were made by Pennsylvania
railroad officials with locomotives on the
New York division The purpose was to
decide some points in the engines regard
ing their capability for hauling fast
trains. The engines-there were four of
them-were a Schenectady, a Baldwin
compound, the English engine, No. 1920
in use on the Pennsylvania railroad, and
one Of Pennsylvania's own class
which type was made famous about
ten years ago, when Engine No
10 drew train at the rate of 72
miles an hour for some distance. This
was in those days regarded as marvel
lous performance, and No. 10 was a pride
Each engine in the trial the other day
drew two cars and started from the
Jersey City Terminal Depot. When they
got out on the meadows the steam horses
had lively race. The Baldwin com
pound and the English engine made a
record of SO and 65 seconds to the mile,
and were badly distaneed by the Sche-
nectady engine, which made the mile
in 50 seconds, or at the rate of - miles
an hour, No. los record of years ago.
Pennsy's own Glass X beat all competi-
tors. running a mile in AZ seconds. AZ
the rate of nearly 20 miles an hour.
