Grows More Serious.
BUFFALO, August 1913 a. NJ.
There is a rumor now afoat that
at an early hour this morning a
train containing the Twenty-sec-
ond Regiment Of the New York
militia has been ditched by the
strikers. No particulars are OBJ
tainable.
The strike situation grows more
serious hourly, despite the pres
ence of the militia. At midnight
the Nickel Plate switchmen joined
the ranks of the strikers. The
locomotive fremen at a meeting
tonight authorized Grand Master
Sargent to call them out whenever
he thought proper.
Trouble at Homestead.
HOMESTEAD, PA, August To-
A battle between troops and a howl
ing mob Of 5000 -workmen and
some frantic women, who had made
an attack upon four non-union
men, was narrowly averted this
morning. The stern necessity of
the presence Of the militia was
strikingly illustrated, as was also
the GOODNESS of the officers, officials
and soldiers.
HOMESTEAD, August 17.-To-
night at 500 o'clock, as freight
train was crossing over Pemickey
bridge at Homestead, going south,
someone on the train opened fire
on the the Little Bill, which was
moored just at this side of the
bridge. Several shots were fred
in rapid succession. The people
in the pilot-house narrowly escaped
death.
The soldiers in the boat opened
fire on the train. The provisional
guard on the other side Of the river
joined in the firing, and so did the
pickets posted along the river front
in the mill. A perfect volley of
lead was poured into the train, but
as far as could be learned no seri-
Gus damage resulted.
American Notes.
The remains of the murdered
couple, Mr.. and Mrs. Borden, were
consigned to earth at Fall River,
Mass. There were no ceremonies
attending the burial, and the last
act in the mortal history of the
dead was witnessed only by day
laborers and the police.
Startling developments have
been made in the Meyerick Bank
investigation at Boston, by the
United States Senate Committee.
They came in the form of dis
closures of the overdrawing of over
50, 100000 by three leading officials
of the institution, and of large
stock deals by the late bank exam
liner, involving large loans from the
bank.
At Washington Park, Chicago,
on the 18th inst, in the presence of
10000 spectators, Budd Doble
drove the beautiful mare Nancy
Hanks to beat her record of 200.
She not only beat her own record,
but she lowered the worlds trotting
record from 2 :OS4 MAUD SIS time)
to 2 OH. The conditions were all
favorable.
Senators Plat and Quay, the
only sulking Republican leaders,
have come out with a hearty assur-
ance of their intention to do good
work for the party.
The contest over the will of the
late Major Camp, wealthy resi-
dent of Minneapolis, has opened in
that city. Major Camp, it will be
remembered, met Mrs. Searles, a
widow of Salinas, while on a visit
to the Coast, and became engaged
to her. The death of the Major
occurred shortly afterwards, and
by his will Mrs. Searles was left
half his property. The relatives
are trying to break the will.
