The State Committee Picking
Date for the Nomination of
Gen. Whiskers Grubb.

A meeting of the Republican State
Committee was called for one O'Clock to-.
day in the rooms at No. 40 Montg emery
street. At the time for the meeting, but
half dozen of the committeeman had
put in an appearance. They were Chair
man John Kean, Jr., Treasurer John j.
Toffey, Arthur b. Pearce, William
Stainsby. H. C. Loudenslager, that patient
o!d war horse, Judge E. B. Seymour, and
Matthias Wooiey.
The object of the meeting is to set a
time and place for the holding the Guber-
Material Convention which will put E..
Whiskers Grubb up to be sacrificed on
the altar of Republican infamy. 1t is
doubtful, however. Chairman kean says,
II anything definite can be accomplished
today.
Routine business will be taken up and
arrangements made to dispose of the
hepubllcan corpse in Hudson county
with all the honor possible. Shortly be-
lore half-pastTone o'clock Senator John j.
Gardner put i'll an appearance. The
Senator was full of business and reported
that Secretary John Y. Foster was sick
and was at present at Saratoga. The
Senator wanted the committee to go into
executive session at once, but Johnny"
kean objected and insisted upon waiting
for the South Jersey representatives.
Mr.. Peter Levering, who Is in charge
of the committee rooms, is kept busy Sc
curing the addresses of speakers whom the
committee think brainy enough TO eX-
pound the seductive principles Of Repub-
licanism. One application has been re-
ceiyed for speakers to be sent to Norris
town. Mr.. Kean is considering the
advisibility of detailing slack" Graham
to protect Republican interests in that
city.
At fifteen minJ,tes before two o'clock
"Dick" Reading, of Hunterdop, Assem-
blvman Potts and A. G. Cattell, of Mid
dlesex, put in an appearance
Chairman Kean held a whispered
conversation with Senator Gardner and
then fumbling about in his inside pock ct
produced blank check. He then an
nounced his intention of calling the meet
ing to order. At two O'Clock the doors
were locked, the Republican funeral di-
rectors were alone in their glory.
The County Committees of Hunuerdon,
Warren and Sussex were to have met with
the State Committee at Philadelphia on
the Goth inst. but owing to some miscar-
riage of notices it was decided to hold the
meeting one week later
Chairman Kean made the meeting in
terest1ng by presenting the committee
with a good fat check to defray the ex-
penses of the committee.
Contrary to the expectations of many
of the committeeman present it was de-
cided that the Guhe"natorial Convention
should be held In the Taylor Opera House
at Trenton, on Thursday, September Is.

las. Newark avenue, was discharged as an
employe from Lorillard's tobacco factory
yesterday. His mother blamed him,
using very picturesque words. Williams
disposition grew suddenly morose. He
called upon his girl last night. and while
in her company. drew the lid from box
of Paris green and pretended that he was
about to commit suicide. He had made
the same threat to his mother.
The girls screams attracted the atten-
tion of Patrolman Frank Murphy. Muir
ply found young Foster apparently poi
soned, but closer inspection showed that
he was only sham ming. The Paris green
was spilled all over his clothes. but DR..
Gray, who was summoned, said he had
not swallowed any of IL.
Foster was placed under arrest and
when arrafgned in Police Justice O'Don-
ne's court this morning, said he only
wanted TO frighten his mother. He was
held for further examination.

mored late last night that all the switch
men on the Erie line in Chicago, which is
the old Chicago and Atlantic, had been
ordered on strike. A switchman said to
a reporter
1--WE are waiting to hear the word from
Grand Master Sweeney. He is now in
Buffalo. AS soon as he speaks we quit
aud so do all the switchmen on the lines
running into Chicago. The strike may
not reach Chicago for week yet. but
unless the demands of the strikers In
the East are granted all the great railway
lines will be tied up within ten days"
The statement OF Grand Master Wilkin-
sson, of the Order of Trainmen, that the
trainmen would assist the switchmen If
The strike was authorized. is regarded as
significant. aud especially because Of the
fact that the trainmen and switchmen
have been mortal enemies ever since the
fight on the Northwestern road.
Wilkinson Is to leave this morning for
Buffalo.
The conductors are also reported in me-
gotiation with the trainmen.

CHRISTIAN CONGRATULATIONS.

Union EndeavOr Service at the Taber-
nacle-A Worker from Kansas.
There was union service last night in
the Tabernacle Of all the Young Peoples
Societies of Christian Endeavor in Hud-
son county. Invitations were sent to all
the societies by the Tabernacle Society,
the members of which had, through AS
sistant Pastor Wells. succeeded in secur-
ing the services Of the fam GUS Rev W =.
c. Cronan, of Kansas City, to address
the meeting.

been identified with Christian Endeavor
and Sunday School WORK for years. He
has met with success only equalled by

audience, composed chiefly of young
people. In his address he cited
the wonderful growth of the Chris
t1an Endeavor Societies and
dweit at length upon the great work the
society, with its membership of 200, ,000,
was accomplishing. The address was
OF congratulatory nature from be-
ginning to end. He gave words of en-
couragemeut to those present and urged
them on to accomplish even greater work
in the future than they have done in the
past. He advised free giving to missions
and the support of missionaries, main
tanning that on the latter rested the
future of Christianity.
He argued at length upon the state
menu of many people that if the Lord de-
sired the conversion OF heathens he
would bring it about by miracles. Mr..
Cronan insisted that the neathnes should
be converted. and by the efforts of the en-
lightened followers of Christ.
Special music had been prepared for
the union meeting. 1t was we'll rem

QUIH7HR At BUFFALO
Troops Guarding the Tracks
and Ready to Shoot
to Kill.
WILL THE STRIKE EXTEND?
All Peaceful in This CitY-Strikers'
Methods Not Approved.

BUFFALO, Aug. 16, 1S92.-There were
no sensational developments! in the
switchmen's strike during the night, and
the situation has improved.
With the two excellent regiments Of the
National Guard in the field, aud the police
reinforced by 200 specials. the feeling is
much more reassuring than yesterday. The
calling out of the militia Sy the Sheriff is
generally commended, especially as his
deputies proved practically worthless
and many Of them deserted at the first
show of opposition.
The police claim to be able to handle
the strike inside the city limits. but in the
town of Cheektowags. where the militia
were sent, the situation is different.
MEAN BUSINESS.
During the progress OF the military
preparations General Doyle said:-
"You can say that the National Guard
is never ordered out at midnight TO put
down riot armed with blank cartridges.
Every man that leaves this arsenal will
carry thnty-eight rounds of ball cart
ridges, prepared to shoot. Ii there is any
necessity for shooting, you may depend
upon it there will be hot work"
Col. WEIGH arrived at William Street
Station outside the city lire about one
O'Clock this morning. His special object,
apart from keeping the peace i'll general
way, was 10 protect The big trestle neal
by, about which there was considerable
uneasiuess. 1t was loaded with coal, and
from remarks dropped during the day il
was believed RthaJ an attempt would be
made 10 set fire to it during the niaht.
The First Battalion of the Sixty-ffth
was followed by the First Battalion OF The
Seventy fourth, under Col. Fox. They
arrived at William street at 2:30, and
took up position near the Slxty-fifth-
Camp f es were lt and the men camped
for the night. Other detachments of the
two regiments followed later on.
The soldiers will not be used for patrol
duty, but will be held to put down dis.
turbances.
NoN-UNIoN MEN MELT AWAY.
1t was reported that seventy-two non.
union switchmen, who had been picked
up along the Reading line, would arrive
in the city on the $50 train OH the Le-
high last night. 1t was feared that
trouble might result, but the train pulled
into the Michigan street station without
being molested. The men were taken to
The United States Hotel.
Tie clerk OF the hotel stated that only
twenty-five men were in the party. A
committee from the Switchmen's Union
called upon them and asked that they
go home. 1t was reported at the meeting
of the Association last evening that
the men had agreed to go home
provided the Union would pay their
expenses. This was taken up at the meet
ing aud discussed. At the conclusion OF
the session one of the strikers said:--
"Ihe men are going home" As none
of them could be found at the hotel, it is
supposed that the union has sent them
out of town.

ALL QUIET HERE.
Only the Erie Men able
Freight Refused.

Only the Erie. Men Restless-PerIshable
Freight Refused.
So far as the terminals of the various
railroads IN this city are concerned there
does not seem to be, outside
of tine Erie yards, any talk
of a strike, or even sympathy
with the strike of the switchmen at Buff
falo. At the Lehigh Valley freight yard
yesterday afternoon orders were given to
receive no perisLable freight for points
beyond Waverly, New YORK. Interviews
with well posted railway employees give
assurance that even II the strike should
spread to the yards of the interested
roads in this city its only effect would be
on the makeup of freight trains.
One Pennsylvania Railroad switchman,
who is looked upon as leader by his
brother employees, said:-
RAILROAD employees in general have but
little sympathy for the strikers at Buf-
falo. Whatever little sympathy we may
have had has been knocked out by acts of
the Buffalo strikers"
