| BUFFALO, n. Y. August 25.-Naturally
| those swItchmen who recently struck, and
| who, by reason of exceptional activity IN
| the movement on their part, now md
| themselves unable TO return % their
| places. are bitterly regretlul. They see
some Of their less aggressive fellows ac-
| cepted by the companies. and this adds 10
| the feeling of resentment. Doubtless II
was this spirit which prompted the assault
| upon Mr.. Sweeney. At any rate, Mr..
| Sweeney so believes, for be said: " know
| OF no other reason for the assault than
| that Quinn was dissatisfied with the re-
suits Of the outcome of the strike, ana
| being in an ugly mood, showed his ani-
mostly by attacking me-
| There are sugeestions,madeto-n ight that
| these men wish, without knowing Just
| how. to open up the strike again upon
| their own responsibility. and that they
| would repudiate sweeney and ask Barrett,
| next in order in the union, TO declare the
strike on again. IL is felt by many con
seryative people here that the impulse OF
| aggression NAV find expression in violence
at scattered points. where the thinned-out
military have the lightest picket lines.
swEESEY's INTEGRITY DOUBTED.
There comes along with these statements
! also a report that among those who are
! discontinued there exists doubt az 10 MIR.
| STeeney's integrity in the settlement OF
| the strike. There can be no warrant, the
| best informed believed. for such an init
nation against Mr.. Sweeney. Indeed, the
| Associated Press correspondent IS so tully
| cognzant of the influence that finally de-
| termined the Grand Master to declare the
| strike of as to feel warranted IN refuting
| in his behalf. though without his instance
| or knowledge, any insinuatlon or lntlma-
ton against Mr.. Sweeney's integrity.
| With MIR. Sweeney gone matters Will
| suon settle. With the troops here men
| and property may be safer for time,
| though detachments will be released to-
| morrow. The night is dark, chilly, and
| heavy The militia are heavily clad on the
picket lines, and blankets IN camp are OF
| increased value.
| srKIKKRs TAKEN BACK.
The New York Central will take back
| considerable number of Its old men. The
Lehigh will take back men a. individuals,
| but will not discharge new men 10 make
room. Other roads will re-employ lndl-
vIdual strikers. but the Nickel-Plate, the
| Erie, end the Lake Shore say they need no
| more men, and won't have the strikers.
Another serious case Of shooting by the
| military occurred about IL O'Clock to-day.
! A bov named Michael Broderick was
| thro wing stones at some OF the soldiers OF
| the Twenty second Regiment. He was or
| dered by the men on guard TO stop but
| continued TO throw the missiles. The
| soldiers started to capture him and be ran
| AVA. He was ordered to halt. but failed
10 do so, and one Of the soldiers raised his
! musket and fred The ball took effect in
| tine boys stomach. causing very serious
| and probably fatal wound. The soldiers
| claimed that the shooting was lustIhable;
| The boys condition Is precarlOus, ana
| death Is likely.
