NO STRIKE HERE YET.

Sundays Meeting of the Local Union
Anxionsly Awaited,
At noon there was nothing to indicate
the approach of a strike on the part of
switchmen in the Erie yards at this city.
The men, however, are very cautious.
None will discuss. the matter. All that
can be got from them is that they "know
nothing about any impending strike
here" The railway officials maintain
there is not the slightest indication of
strike.
Nevertheless, an air of uneasiness pre-
walls and will continue to do SO until after
Sunday. On that day The local switch
mems union will meet and it will then
be decided whether TO join the sJrike or
not.
A tour through the train-yard at Wee
hawken this forenoon revealed no indi-
cations OF a possible lay-off. Switching
crews were busy shunting cars from one
track to another.
None OF the switchmen would say that
be lad the slightest fntimation that the
strike would extend as far as New York.
and many of them said they wouldn't be
sorry bit If it didn't.
Word reached the Trainmaster's office
this morning that the military special,
which left Weehawken at two minutes to
three yesterday afternoon, carrying the
Thirteenth Regiment (Brooklyn) had
reached Buffalo at six O'Clock this morn
ing.
The passenger trains, If they be western
expresses, are running from fifty minutes
to an hour and a half late. Train 6, the
Atlantic express from Chicago, came in
at 8.22 this morning, fifty minutes be-
hind time. No. 4, another western ex-
press, in two sections, was reported an
hour late at Albany &C ten O'Clock.

The miners stopped in the work of releas-
ing the convicts and turned to get out of
the way of the heavy fusilade of rifle bull
lets.
Again and again the leaders begged
them to fight. but they rushed
down the hill to escape the furt-
onslaught of the the soldiers. With
never halt and never a rally they
reached the bottom of the hill. bearing
twelve dead and more than twenty min
ers with them. They hurried far out Of
the sight and reach of the guns.
They then collected their shattered and
wounded forces, and it is feared there are
more than half hundred wounded, and
more dead than reported.
Opinion is growing that an awful loss
of life of good citizens and innocent men
can only be avoided by prompt action of
the Governor in calling on the President
to send Federal troops to the scene of &C
tion.
The latest report from Coal Creek
states that General Anderson has been
captured by the miners, and is held as a
hostage.

asked them to shoot him instead. and to

WANT THE GATES OPEN.

Many People Find Trip Through New
York Bav Cemetery Convenient.
About four weeks ago the New York
Bay Cemetery Company issued an order
that the gates at Chapel avenue, Green
vile, were to be locked promptly at six
o'clock every evening. Up to the time
that the order was issued the residents in
that section thought that Chapel avenue
was public thoroughfare.
The Cemetery grounds cover plot one
half mile in length, and are bounded by
Danforth avenue on the south, Van
Nostrand avenue on the north, Garfield
avenue on the east and Ocean avenue on
the west. Chapel avenue, where the en-
trance gates are. is in the exact
centre of the grounds, aud is
used largely by Greenville residents in
going to and from the New York Bay
shore. Large crowds visit the Faith Cure
Sanctuary at the foot OF the avenEe al
most daily. The athletic grounds of the
GreenVille Y. M. c. A. are also on this
thoroughfare Whenever the Faish
Curists baptize converts. or when the Y
NJ. G. A. has baseball game or other
athletic sports, many people use the thor
oughfare in going7to these places.
Now that the gates are locked every
evening, Greenville residents hausB, in
coming to and from the shore. make q
wide detour and 90 by way of either Dam
forth avenue or Van Norsbeand place.

Special to the Jersey City Neius.
TRENTON, Aug. 10, 1S92-It is being gen
orally circulated throughout the State
that General E. Burd Gruob, as candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
Governor, has given up the ghost and
withdrawn. The General was met in
Trenton yesterday and the question was
put to him and he said in reply that he
would accept the Republican nomination
for Governor, but he did not think he
could afford to make contest for it. Ii
the Republican party did not want him
as their nominee he certainly would not
force himself upon them. If the nomi-
nation is rendered to him he will make
vigorous personal canvass and will con-
time the work he did of bringing to a
final determination the question whether
New Jersey is Republican State. The
General said that he had received many
letters from all parts of the State asking
whether it was true that he had retired
from the contest. To all of them ne has
made the reply that he maintains the
same position now that he did when he
arrived from Spain, aud that is that he
would again be the standard bearer for
the party II they so desired.

DELAYED BY THE cARNLGE STRIKE.

Work on the Power Building of the j.
C. g. I3. r. r. Retarded by Lack of Iron.
Those residents of the Hill who are lust
now saying hard things against the Jer-
sey City and Bergen Railroad Company
over the delay in getting its electric plant
into operation can vent some of
their impatience upon the labor
troubles at Homestead. The walls of
the building for the plant are practically
completed. A lew finishing touches
alone remain to be put on and they will
be finished tomorrow. But there the
work will have to stand still! because the
iron work for the roof is not on hand. 1t
should have been here some time ago and
probably would have been had it not been
delayed by the strike in the Carnegie
Works.
The other work on the building is rap
idly progressing. The foundations for the
engines, boilers, condeusers and genera
TORS are finished up to the floor lines and
the connection with the city water main
has been made and the water metres put
in. One OF the large boilers has been
tested and put into place and the other
viii be ready in few days. The tracks
over which coal and other supplies will
be brought to the building are all laid
and the coal pockets constructed.
Work on the new cars is progressing
and some of them are already finished,
Iue cars Will De similar TO those which
were used on the Montgomery street
route during the short time electricity
was used there, except that the platforms
will be enclosed on one side, so that no
person getting on or off the cars can get
on the opposite track. Each car will be
equipped with two twenty horsepower
motors, SO that it can draw one or two
trail cars as travel may demand.
The electricians of the company have
visited all the power plants in this sec
tiog of the country and gather ed from
each valuable suggestions which will ali
be embodied in the Jersey City plant
which will be among the very best in ex-
istence. 1t is expected that the plant
will be ready by October IS, when the
Montgomery street line will be put In
operation. The work of wiring all the
different routes Of the road is be-
ing rapidly pushed and will
be completed in short time Before
these new heavy motors can be used,
however, it will be necessary to relay the
entire road with heavier rails, as those
novv-in use would not stand the wear and
tear produced by the heavy new cars
more than year. This work is also in
progress and will not delay the cunning
OF the road by electricity.

Stockton Out.
Special to the Jersey City Nescs
TRENTON. Aug. 10. 1892.-In a conversa-
tion touching the Democratic State Con-
vention, Supreme Court Clerk B. F. Lee
yesterday said that no date had yet been
fixed because he and Mr.. McDermott di d
not care to take the responsibility of fix
ing the date without referring to Mr..
Smith, of Essex. Mr. McDermott has
promised to make it his business to see
the Newark leader in few days, and be
able to make final announcement next
Tuesday. It is now thought that the con.
vention will be held September 20.
There has been some complaint because
the matter has been delayed so long. The
State Committee feel satisfied that more
will be accomplished by having short
campaign, and that six weeks will be
ample to secure good results.
1t is currently stated that Attorney
General Stockton will not be candidate
under any consideration, and would not
accept for personal reasons. He de-
clared to a friend, while he would appre-
ciate the honor, he has consulted his per-
sonal condition. and f1nds that it would
be practically impossible for him to re-
linquish his present position to sit in the
Executive Chamber. and give attention
to all the detail that would necessarily
come to Governor of New Jersey The
Attorney General thinks that the best
man that can be placed in nomination is
George Werts, of Hudson county.

A BREAK DOWN AT BELLEVILLE.
Tor a Time 1t Caused a Scarcity of
Water in This City.

Tor a Time 1t Caused a Scarcity of
Water in This City.
The breaking of piston rod in one of
the big engines at Belleville last Wednes-
day. almost caused water famine The
trouble was kept concealed until yester-
day when many complaints were made
by consumers of the meagre supply they
were recei wing. The water was filthy
dirty, but everyone seemed unable to
offer any feasible explanation of the diff
Guilty. Finally Commissioner Yoe volun-
teered an explanation. Two weeSs ago
there was a bad break in the main crossing
the Hackensack meadows. For three
days no water could be forced through
the pipes and as a result the reservoir at
High Service became exceedingly low.
The demand seemed to increase while
the break was being prepared, and not
withstanding the fact that the big en-
gines at Bellaville were kept pumping
day and night. the water in the reservoir
did not gain three inches in depth. The
water at the intake was In a filthy condi-
tion, owing to the lowness of the tide.
This stuff was pumped to High Service
and from there down to the city. Every
thing was running along smoothly

gine broke and then the Street and Water
Commissioners found themselves in u
nice dilemma.
Commissioner Yoe conferred with
President Madden and it was decided
that the Hackensack Water Company
would have to be called upon to furnish
the city with water. Arrangements were
made with the company to furnish req
uisite supply, and the price per day FOR
| the supply was set at $500.
At the time the Hackensack water was
turned on the water had sunk from
| the depth of Lwenty-eight feet
in the High Service reservoirs
to Is feet. Today matters have been rem
edied, and there are 16 feet of water in
the reservoirs. A famine has been avert
ed, as the Bellevile engines will be in
working order again by five O'Clock this
evening.
The water in the reservoirs gets low at
| this time every year, and no trouble
| would have been experienced had not the
engine at Belleville broken down.

TIE MAIN DIVORCE CASE.
A Final Decision by Vice Chancellor
Green for the Wife.

A final Decision by Vice Chancellor
Green for the Wife.
Special to the JERSEY City Neaus
TRENTON, Aug. 10, 1892. Chancel-
lor Green has filed an opinion in the re-
opened case of Thomas Main VS.. Sarah
Ann Main, by which Mrs. Main secures q
favorable judgment. She still remains
his wife after all the difficult litigations.
Thomas Main resides in Hoboken and
the wife in Denver. Colorado. The case
has been an interesting one and the de-
cision is full of quiet sarcasm and scores
the plaintiff severely. The case was
originally brought by the husband for
diverse on the ground of adul-
terry alleged to have been COM
mitted at Nyack, New York,
with John Lacke during the years 1887 to
1889 inclusivr. Mrs. Main was allowed to
go to Colorado and during her absence a
suit was begun. Exparte evidence was
taken and decree given in favor of the
husband. Mrs. Main never received legal
notice of the suit and on hearing of the
decree moved to have it opened.
Chancellor Green handles the witnesses
rather roughly. He says of George Nor
ris, who.acted as spy in the Main resi-
dence, morris is.an individual who says
he is now twenty-eight years of age; his
occupations nave been, according to his
account of himself. a sawyer, or
person who attends circular saw,
and painter. His recollection
as to the places of his employment is ex-
ceedingly misty. His means in 1856 must
have been more prosplrous than appear
ances indicate they are at present, to have
justified him in two weeks vacation in
the summer" He further says that no
reliance whatever can be placed on Nor
ris' testimony.
The testimony of another detective does
not suggest criminality, and it is not cor
roborated. The Vice Chancellor speaks
of TIE defendant as ''a matronly and
genteel lady" who was indignant in her
denials OF all charges of improperly. and
the Vice Chancellor admits that she pro-
duced on his mind by her manner ga
very strong impression of her truthful
