BLOCKADE ON THE LAKE SHORE.
The Yards Filled to Overlooking Win
Freight Cars.

BUFFALO, Aug. 20.-The Lake Shore
is in bad shape. The Central Is piling
IN west bound freight trains SO thick
and fast the Lake Shore officials are
beginning to wonder where they will
get cleared up before the end of Sep
tember. The blockade is the greatest
since 1877. The Central cannot de-
liver any mole freight to the Lake
Shore simply for the reason that the
yards will not hold it. The Central Is
now holding 400 cars outside of Buff
falo, and the Lake Shore is trying to
move some freight today, but with
little success. Three trains were
moved today and here the work
ended. The road does not seem
to have any switchmen to
do the work. There are several hun.
dred troops in the yards with nothing
to do. The Erie and Lehigh have sent
out few trains today, but no percep-
tlble break has been made in the block
ade. At 2 o'clock this afternoon, il is
stated or the authority of fireman
that they VII! certainly go out tonight.
The statement Is given considerable
credence. A dispatch from Toronto
says Chief Arthur left there last even
ing, and It was thought be was coming
to Buffalo. He had not arrived here
up to 3 O'Clock so far as Is known.

TORE DOWN THE TRICOLOR.
Ofheer Spires of Jeanette, Pa, Dis
charged From the Police Force.

GEEENsBURG, Pa, Aug. 20.-Officer
Thomas Spires OF Jeanette, who on
Dec ration day climbed to the top of
the residence of French citizen of
that place and tore down the French
trlcolor, has been removed from his
place on the police force. Secre-
tary of State Foster intimated
recently IN private correspondence
with Governor Pattison and
District Attorney McCurdy tnat
the discharge of the officer. who, he
thought, had exceeded his authority,
would be about the proper thing to do.
The general feeling Is that an error was
made in so hastily tearing down the
flag and that the removal was the east
est way out of the difficulty. The
Frenchmen, however, were gwen some
wholesome advice and instructed TO al
ways give the American colors the
preference when they deem II proper
to raise their own colors to the breeze.

One of our contributors handed in the
following: IAN American mechanic who
has resided in Mexico many years was ar
rested under a law enacted there about eight
years ago which prohibits man entering
into the matrimonial state more than nine
times. The circumstances that brought
about the execution of this law was that
the man had not alone married thirteen
times but that after the expiration of six
months honeymoon the bride would in
variably pass over to the great majority. ,
AS there was no evidence at hand to show
that his wives died from other than natural
causes he was arrested under the law above
mentioned. Here is an interesting case for
the Thirteen Club of New York to solve. -
