a BATTLE WITH CoNvrcTa
Ono Shot Dead and Another Wounded
While Irving to Bscape.

SING SING, N. Y, Aug. 28.-Charles
Vincent and Thomas Welsh, two con-
victs, attempted to escape from the state
prison at this place at o'clock in the
morning, and as a result a desperaee
fight ensued between the two convicts
and a number Of the keepers, during
which Convict Vincent was shot and in
stantly killed and Convict Welch SO.
riously wounded. At about / a. m.
Keeper Post heard Vincent and Welch
forcing their way out of their cells.
They had used large pair of shears,
which they procured while at work in
one of the shops, to cut the sheet iron
covering on the lock of their cell. As
soon as the two convicts stepped into
corridor they were confronted by Post.
The two criminals started to run along
the corridor, and were quickly over
taken by Keeper Post, when u desperate
struggle ensued. The keeper was
knocked down and his gun taken away
from him. Two of his fingers were bit
ten off, and then he was thrown to the
floor below, distance of about sixteen
feet. BY this time a number of the
other keepers went to the assistance of
Post. Welsh managed to get outside of
the prison by way of the warden's house.
Vincent, who carried Posts gun, was
also endeavoring to get out of prison
when he was pursued by Keeper McCor-
mick. The convict, seeing that he was
being rapidly overtaken, turned on the
keeper and fred three Or four shots in
succession, none of which took effect.
Mccormick raised his gun and fired at
Vincent, the ball striking the convict In
the abdomen and killing him instantly.
AT this time 200 convicts in the prison,
most of whom were asleep at the time
of the attempted outbreak, were aroused
by the firing, and they kept up con-
slant yelling and cursing.
Welsh was making haste to climb the
hill after he had got out of the prison
yard, but was closely followed by an
other keeper. The latter fred and shot
the fugitive in the leg Welsh then fell
over and surrendered.

THE swrTcHMnN,s STRIKE,


BUFFALO, Aug. 23.-Midnight marks
the close Of the tenth day of the switch
mems strike, and though the refusal of
the Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania men yesterday afternoon to ham
die Central freight was emphasized by
sixty-five men quitting work, it Is not
believed much vitality is shown by this
action. True enough the official ending
may be delayed yet another forty-eight
hours, for no one expects Grand Master
Sweeney to make an official declaration
of failure until after the conference of
the chiefs of the leading orders, which
will be held this afternoon, or as soon as
those he has invited have had time to
reach this city. The switchmen's effort
has been failure, and for several days
has been so regarded in the conservative
judgment of impartial observers, and
the fact was today admitted by an in
terested member, who, not being at
present in office, naturally does not
wish to be quoted.
Grand Master Sargent, of the firemen,
who has been interviewed to death since
his arrival, has nothing at all to say
that will foreshadow the probable action
of the firemen. He says there are 200
members of his order in this vicinity,
and disclaims anything like secrecy
when conclusion is reached. Hence,
beyond complimentary expression of
confidence in Grand Master Sweeney,
he seems to give the latter little en-
couragement of ultimate help. Even
should Sargent and Sweeney act to-
gether it Is safe to assume that Grand
Chief Arthur, of the engineers, and
Grand Master Clark, of the conductors,
will both be against action that will in
volve their respective bodies in any po-
sition other than that of conservatism.
In the military situation there is not
likely to be any material change before
tomorrow, for in spite of the talk of
sending troops away there still seems to
be plenty of picket duty to be per-
formed.
General CONSERVATION was thrown
into the switchmen's camp last night by
the arrest of Joseph Heimerle, the re-
cording secretary and treasurer Of Buff
falo Lodge No. 30, of the Switchmen's
Mutual Aid Association. Heimerle is
looked upon as one of the most power
full men in the organization. Last night
he slept on hard plank in Jail. He is
accused by the railroads of assaulting
their green hands, of threatening them
with violence if they did not join the
union forces and with interfering with
the running Of passenger and fast trains.

PIrTsBURG, Aug, 23.-There is strong
probability of strike among the 5000
Monongahela river coal miners. The
operators will meet this afternoon to
formulate demand for a reduction of
one-half cent per bushel, which they
will then present to the miners. They
claim TINT the railroad operators pay
about three cents for the same work for
which the river operators have to paw
three and half cents, and they are
thus deprived of legitimate trade. They
do not expect to win without strike,
but are willing to risk one.

minority of the party favors any legisla-

the Democrats call the force bill, and
there are very few Republicans now who
