ltochestcr and littshuru also went out
because they were asked to handle
freight irCm the strike roads. Grand
Masters CLARK, Of the Conductors Or
der, and Wilkinson, OF the Trainmen's
Order, are on their way to Buffalo to
confer with Grand Master Sweeney.
From remark made by Sergent, OF the
rlremen's Union, aud Clark, it is alto
gether improbable that the railway men
will strike to aid the switchmcn. Clark
said he knew OF no grievance the con-
ductors had, aud unless there were some
they would not go out. They did not
care to express any sympathy in that
way. lie believed the switchmen's de-
mands were just, but added: "But the
most deDlorable thing in the affair is
that acts OF violence were rcSOrted to by
someone at the start. This has pro5a-
bly been the greatest cause for pro-
longing the strike, AZ otherwise 1t would
probably have been amlcably settled.n
There were rumOrs Of deadly cOailicts
between soldiers and strikers last uiyhL,
but investigation shows that while there
We're sporadic cases o! disorder and some
firing, nothing scIous occurred. rhc
railroads continue to get III better shape.

returned 10 New York last night. lie
said: ''The strike III my opinion is

The men acied rashly unl hastily,
prciudlcing The railroad companies at the
start. The men have lost aud the soon.
er they recognize that fact the better ii
will be ior them. Buffalo is well guard
ell At every point, freight Is moving
everywhere, and as far as | can see
there is no room for strikes or strikers :"
Many people in Buffalo believe the
strikes will be declared OF when the
affiliated railway organizations refuse to
strike Out OF sympathy. Investigation
shows that Lackawanna men to the
numbei OF l25 went OUT because they
believed certain freight which I.acka-
wanna officials insist was ordinary lake
freight was Lehiyh Railroad freight.
Late THIS afternoon Il man who was
formerly I4ehigh switchman was one
OF tour men who were throwing stones
at the picket lines Of the 22d regiment
at the l.ehish tracks # tho Lake Shore.
The men were fired upon and the one
letcrred to fell dangerously shot. Seat
Lcrlng shots arc made Iy the pckets in
various yards TO night, but up to 10. 80
Tonight there has been reported no Or
ganZed assault by strikers, nor any con-
certed movement by the troops upon
those who hang along the picket lines
causing such annoy ancc rs they may
with safety 10 themselves.
ThOs. J. Manahar, in company with
ThOs. q. L1ughliu, Bernard Dunn,
Patrick Madigan and VIM. Cotter, began
throwing stones at Ohm NJ. McGuckcn
and (has Cable, EOn.uniOn men, who
were working i'll the Lift farm yard.
Lieut. Chase Astin and Scrgt. William
Conrow, Of Company &. ordered the
stonc-throwcrs to dspersc. They re-
fused to do SO anil were hrcd upon by
order of Lieut.. Astin. Manahar was
struck by two bullets. One took effect
in the left elbow while the other passed
through the abdomen to the right of the
kidneys. The injured man was taken

dition is evidently critical. OIaughlin,
