ELNIIRA, n. Y, Aug. 20.-The block
ade at Sayre. Pa, and Waverly. N. Y,
was virtually raised today. The Iwen-
tieth separate company and the Sixth
battery, of Binghamton, arrived at
Waverly last night. About 7:3O this
morning the bail was set rolling at
Waverly, when train of twentySiX
freight cars came up the Philadelphia 81
Reading from Sayre, and were stopped
in the switch just below the road bridge
by the strikers. The Philadelphia u
Reading officials, on becoming aware of
the state. of affairs, notified the militia
and they were marched down to the
railway track, formed line ten abreast,
and marched up the track to clear the
crowd.
Hundreds of people blocked the tracks
and banks along the railway, yelling at
the militia and guying them at every
step. A picket line was formed and a
man stationed at intervals for about 600
yards east of the depot. While they
were forming the picket line, the fire in
the engine was mysteriously dumped
and the pins pulled. The fire was re-
built, and at 9:25 one of the coal and
iron police turned the switch, as no
switchman dared to. do it. At $3.50
O'Clock the train pulled out of the switch
on to the Erie west-bound tracks. The
train passed the depot all right, closely
followed by delegation of strikers.

was off for Hornellsville.
1t had just cleared the depot, how
ever, when the air brakes were all of a
sudden set, and when the engine took
up the slack again it was found that
the pins on some cars had been pulled.
The blocked train again started
and experienced no further de-
lay. In few minutes another
train pulled up from Sayre and
crossed over to the Erie's west
bound track. After being detained for
a while. waiting for the signal, the
train was finally ordered to go ahead
and it pulled out of Wayerly between
two lines Of militia without any opposi-
ton. Two more trains were sent out
without any further trouble and the
company claimed that the blockade was
raised.
Michael Mcnamara, the leader of the
strikers, was arrested this morning on
warrant issued Aug. Is charging him
with interfering with the moving of
trains. He was later released on $1,000
bail for an examination next Thursday.

With the support gone, the four build
ingS on the east end went crashing into
the rayine with terrible noise.
The report that q number of persons
had gone down with the buildings and
that the landslide had buried several
children who were playing near the
creek in Swede hollow caused great ex-
element. Capt. Hanft and detail Of
patrolmen from Margaret street station
were quickly on the scene. and the
dangerous locality roped off. The re-
ports as to deaths caused by the land
slide were found, upon investigation, to
be unfounded. The only person hurt
was small boy. who was playing in
the ravine, and
NE Was Rescued
from beneath the debris by Detective
Conroy, and his injuries were not at all

A Big Financial Loss, but,
Luckily, No One In
jured.

A landslide, followed by fire result
ing from the slide, wiped out the Wage
ner block on East Seventh street yester-
day. Very fortunately, there was no
loss of life, which, considering the cir
cumstances, was almost miraculous.
The block was constructed on the
north side of East Seventh street, and
consisted of eleven frame stores and
dwellings, all two stories above the
sidewalk, and number of them one
and two stories below the street. The
buildings were erected some ten years
ago on the slopes of the fill made
when the new bridge was put
across the railroad track and
the street graded. The portion
of the buildings nearest Hoffman ave-
hue were not built on very secure
foundation. The heavy rains and the
topography of the adjacent property on
the east side had resulted in the en-
bankment under the first two or three
buildings nearest Hoffman avenue to
become saturated and softened with the
surface water from the street and va
can't property adjoining. The attention
of the proper city authorities had been
called to the
Danger to the Property
by reason of the water being allowed to
run down the hill Immediately to the
east and rear of the block. To remove
or prevent any future dangers faOm this
source the engineering department andi
a gang of men from the street force had |
been at work for the past week, con-
structing drain from East Seventh
street to Phalen creek, eighty feet be-
low, which runs along the ravine at a
right angle to the block. From the land
slide yesterday. it would appear that the
work had been completed after the DAM
age had been done.
For several days after the recent
heavy rains the occupants of the row.
particularly those near the east end of
the block, have been fearful that the
foundation might give way, and some
anxiety was felt. There being no signs
of the foundation giving, the feeling of
insecurity gradually wore away. al,
though many of the occupants hadl
their effects packed ready to move on
short notice.
Yesterday morning about $3.50 o'clock,
Peter Pierre. one of the clerks i'll the
grocery store run by Wagener. heard a
cracking sound, which led him to think
the foundation was settling. The Occu-
pants of the first four buildings IN the
row nearest Hoffman avenue were in
formed of the danger, and half an hour
later the earth under the four buildings

down the steep embankment toward
Phalen creek with the rapdity Of light
! ming. The great quantity of earth
knocked over story-and- frame
shanty, which stood on the edge of the
creek, and completely changed the
course of that SWif-trunning stream.

LIVELY COLLISION.
Strikers and Soldiers Have a
Lively Shindy.

BUFFALO, Aug. 2O.-Company while
marching near the trestle tonight en-
countered group of strikers. A
hand-to-hand fight ensued. The strik.
ers were at an advantage, but were not
in sufficient numbers to do any
great damage. The fight had been on
about ten minutes when another COM
pany charged OH the crowd and the
strikers dispersed. In the course of the
fight Corporal Becker was badly cut by
blow from coupling pin and Private
Gould was injured about the body and
received several cuts. The two men
who did the damage to the soldiers each
received wounds from the bayonets of
the rescuing party. One was seriously
hurt.
Johu A. Nivln, switchman thirty
years old. whose home is in Hornells-
vile, and who has been on the Erie, but
went out with the strikers, was captured
in the East Buffalo yards aster dark to-
night in the act of turning a switch in
front OF train. He was brought to the
city and locked up.

SWITCHMEN ARMED,
Business Men Ask for Official
Protection.

BUFFALO. Aug. 20.-During the after
noon the non-union switchmen on the
New York Central set at work in
the yard were we'll supplied with
revolvers and given directions to
use them only for self-defense.
Manufacturers and business men,
whose establishments are near the rail
roads or in any way liable to be identi-
fed with them, have taken the alarm at
the presence of apparent danger of
disorder in this city, and. following the
example of the railroads, have asked
the sheriff for protection.
A round of the various camps and
crossings at East Buffalo this evening
disclosed these facts: A large number
of engines were flying about in the vi
cinity of the Bailey avenue crossing
of the Central. 1t was learned
that all were fully equipped
with switchmen. Freight was
being rapidly moved out to to the west
bound track, The only trouble seemed
to be that Lake Shore freight was pill
ing up, that road not being able to handle
it yet.
The Wagner car shops on Broadway
were found strongly fortified. The
Twenty-third regiment, of sBrooklyn,
was there inElrage force.

SENSATION IN CANADA.
Harrison's Decided Action Was
Not Figured On.

OTTAWA. Ont, Aug. 2O.-The news
that President Harrison had issued his
proclamation against Canada enforcing
discriminatory canal tolls created ver-
liable sensation in official circles. 1t
was thought the recent offer of the do
minlon government to withdraw
the rebate at the END of
the season would appease the
American government. Ali the cabinet
ministers are out of town. Premier
Abbott will probably cancel his de-
parture for tae gulf of st. Lawrence,
and it is certain meeting of the gov
ernment wril be held in day or two to
consider she situation, which is very
alarming. The proposed canal tolls are
practically prohibitory against Canadian
vessels.

RESUMING WORK.
Withdrawal of Troops Deferred
Until Monday.

Until Monday.
BUF FALO, Aug. 20.-None of the
companies whose switchmen are on
strike have today moved normal guam
tity of traffic. The Erie has fallen short
about one-half; the Lehigh Valley more
than one-half; the Lake Shore made a
start for the first time since the strike !;
the Nickel Plate was doing business,
and the Buffalo Greek road was warm
ing its engines the first time in week,
while the Michigan Central. whose yard
is involved with that of the Central,
also showed movement. The Central
today handled traffi nearly equal to its
normal freight movement.
The threatened demand of Erie
county officials for the withdrawal of
troops has been deferred, at least until
Monday. Tom orrow the sheriff and
supervisors of the county will travel
about through the city yards in order
that they may see how nearly business
is restored to its usual status, and their
determination will rest upon the result
of their observations. The United
States regulars of the frontier here are
in readiness tonight for immediate
movement should they be called upon,
and this fact, by these who know it, is
regarded as an outgrowth of the present
railway complications.

they were just as good, so far as holding

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Aug. 2O.-Grand
Master Sargent. of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen. is still here at his
home and has not received word Off
cialiy from Buffalo. He says he does
not expect to go to Buffalo, and explains
that under the law of the organization
the adjustment committee of firemen on
a road must first have failed to settle a
grievance before he is called upon. If
he fail, then the firemen on the road
must cast two-thirdS vote for strike.
Even after that it is discretionary with
him whether the strike shall be ordered.

be called. In the excitement no particular
attention was paid to the fire which was
smoulderlng but twenty minutes later,
and the alarm was turned IN. By this
time the fire had gained considerable
headway, and, as the material OF which
the buildings were constructed was like
tlnder, the debris was soon all ablaze.
The pile of broken timbers, household
goods and the contents of the grocery
store and saloon, which had been
piled together by the falling of the
four buildings made fierce fire, and a
few moments later the seven other
buildings in the row were on fire.
