The Striking Switchmen.

The strike of the switchmen on the Erie &
Lehigh Valley Line, at Buffalo, has assumed so
serious an aspect that four battalions of the
New York National Guard are now at the
Cheektowago freight yards. where SO much of
the railroad company's property has been de-
stroyed.
Sheriff Beck has been notified by the officials
of the New York Central and the West Shore
roads that they will expect him to protect
their property in the event of strike on their
lines and there is every reason to suppose
that their switchmen at Buffalo will go out if
the troubles between the men now on strike
and their employers is not soon adjusted.

A VICTIM OF MISFORTUNE.
George White Dies at the Poor Farm
His Checkered Career.

hib SucckcTc0 S1reers
George White, an inmate of the county
farm, died yesterday of consumption at
the age of "a years. About two months
ago the old man was very low, and it was
feared he could last but few hours. He
requested that he might see and speak a
last word with his old friends-Sheriff
Woolery and Chief of Police Rogers. His
request was made known to them and they
came to his bedside. He told them that
he had no money, no means, and i'm
piored, in the name of friendship, that they
would see that his body was not laid in a
pauper's grave. He wanted to be buried
in the Masonic cemetery, no matter if he
was laid away in the most out-of-the-way
corner and given the smallest portion of
ground They told him that his wishes
should be respected, and returned to the
city.
The old man improved slightly, and
fingered until yesterday morning. The
remains were brought to Bonney & Stew
arts, and will be laid to rest this after
noon in the Masonic cemetery.
George White was born in Glencoe,
Scotland, November 4. 1S0S, where his
parents were in good circumstances.
He learned the butchers trade. but
later in life took to the sea and followed
it until 1857, when the Fraser river
mining excitement attracted his attention
to the Pacific coast. He did not reap an
abundant harvest, and came to Seattle in
1858, where he has since lived. He was
well known by the pioneer inhabitants,
and all who knew him felt that he had
been in better circumstances at some time
in his life.
Sheriff Woolery said that he was one Ct
the finest old men he ever knew, and al
though the victim of circumstances, he
did not believe that he ever spoke coarse
word or had an evil thought.
