was at the Borden farm, the old gentleman,

remarked that he did not take much com

that only that morning. when he went into
the room where she W as eating she got up
from the table and left the room. Hatha-
way also said that Mr.. Borden told him
this with tears In his eyes. and further re-
zie told him that she hoped he would come

Captain Smalley, IN relating this, said he
was tnunder-struck, and not being ac-

BUFFALO, Aug. 10 "A committee of
twelve tax-paye ers living in the vicinity of
the railroad yards where the strike Is in
progress called upon Sheriff Beck for the
purpose of protesting against the great ex-
pense OF holding the militia here In their
opinion. there was absolutely no need for
it. Michael Martin, of No. TO Elk street,
the spokesman, stated they came to ask
that the National Guard be removed. not
tomorrow or the next day. but to-day, un-

A committee of four strikers called on
Mayor Bishop to present their side OF the

sent for, which was done. The spokesman
of the party stated to the Mayor and
sheriff that tho object Of their visit WAS 10

was spent in argument, during which the
railroad corporations were loudly de-

that they must take into consideration

have been burned and train wrecked"

The delegation argued from the stand

To-Day VIII Decide Whether the Strike IL
Ended Will Spread.
BUFFALO. Aug. 19.-Unless new compli-
cations are developed before morning in
the swltchmen's strike. which closes its
first week with midnight tonight the
public may fairly measure the accuracy of
statements made By the affected companies
by tho movement of freight which shall be
accomplished tomorrow. Each Of the
companies has definitely stated, and re-
peatedly that they had at hand enough
men to replace the strikers and to handle
all their freight if protection should be as
sured to the new switchmen. The Fourth
Brigade. of 1900 men. was placed on duty
but the railroad officials held that 2. 600
men were not sufficient to protect their
new employees OH the Goo miles of yard
tracks which lie within this city and
vicinity. Hence 5000 more troops were
ordered and are here. Their assignment to
duty at oil points where the tied-up COM
panies feel there mi eht be danger has been
going forward to-day Tonight every COM
mand has been placed. Every militaman
will be 2icketed In the morning. and under
these conditions mast the roads to- morrow
give practical demonstration that their
reiterated claims of abundant help have
been we'll founded. Careful INQUIRY
through the strike districts to-day has
demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt
that the companies have at hand the men
they have claimed.
During the afternoon and the night there
have been circulating rumors and state
ments from the men that are ont that many
of the men held in readiness are now being
restrained of their liberty. An accompany
ing statement from the same source Is that
the men were employed in the East to
work on Western roads, and they did not
know until their ARRIVAL here that their
service was to be on the tied-up roads in
Buffalo. IL these allegations are true it
means impaired forces in the yards when
the men are so placed at work that they
may desert upon opportunity 1t is not

AN IMPORTANT CRISIS.


Firemen WIZ Strike II Grand Master Sar-
gent Will Issue tho Order.
BUFFALO. N. Y, Aug. 19.-An important
crisis in the strike has been reached. 1t
can now be said almost certainly that the
locomotive firemen on the Lehigh, the
Erie. the Lake Shore. the West Shore and
the Central railroads will go out between
o'clock tomorrow evening and Sunday
morning. Tho members of the Brother
hood of Trainmen and Conductors on the
above roads, and possibly the telegraph
ers, will follow the fremen. This strike,
should it occur. will be the outcome of n
secret meeting of the five local
lodges of fremen held tonight. 1t
was called at hall on South
Division street. near Hickory, at $50
O'Clock this evening, and lasted until nearly
midnight. About $50 men were in attend
ance, representing all the lodges In the
city as well as the several roads. The
Trainmen and Conductors brotherhood
were represented by delegates.
An Associated Press correspondent
learned of the result at the conclusion of
the meeting. 1t 10 that the 597 men of the
Firemen's Brotherhood are unanimusly in
favor of declaring = strike on the Erie. the
Lake Shore. the Lehigh. the West Shore
and tho Central roads. Many of the men,
bers urged that the local lodges order the
strike Immediately. They were held back by
the more conservative men and the matter
was referred by telegraph to Grand Mas
ter Sargent at Terre Haute. 1t Was stated
by one of the firemen that it was quite
probable that the grand master would
comply with the wishes of the local organ
Ization.
The strike will be sympathetic one and
no bill of grievances will be presented.
However, the tremen will insist that If the
switchmen are given the ten-hour system,
1t shall apply to them also; otherwise, 1t
will be direct discrimination against their
organization.
1t is expected that Mr.. Sargent will leave
Terre Haute early tomorrow morning and
arrive hero late at night. He may order
the strike by telegraph. 1t will require
about three hours for the tiremen to strike
after receiving the order from tho grand
master. 1t will not be confined to the
yards but will extend to all men
running out of Buffalo. In previous strikes
ordered by Grand Master Sargent, the fire.
men have abandoned their engines
wherever they ohanced to be at the
hour specified. 1t would probably be
so in this instance. About three
hundred and ninety men will be
ordered out if the strike occurs. Lehigh
Lodge has fifty mem Ders. West Shore Lodge
about the same number and Erie Lodge 14O
members. The firemen or the Lake Shore
and Central belong to one lodge. The men
say that 1T is now or never with the cause
of organized labor ON all railroads.
