There was % large crowd at the Lacka.

consisting chiefly of boys and young men,
among whom no strikers were numbered
These fellows greeted every man at work
| about the yards with cries of "Scab,'
"You'll get your throat cut" and similar
| expressions One non-union engineer who
pulled passenger train into the depot in
this city had q chew of tobacco thrown
into his face, and he was almost blinded.
The incOmpeteucy Of the crews manag-
ing the freight trains has resulted in sew
eral accidents along the line A freight
train passed through Pittston at o'clock
| last evening. After passing the Delaware,
| Lackawanna and Western railroad track
the Gagman left the switch open behind
him. The train following plunged down
the embankment, doing great damage.
In the COxton yards two cabooses collided
and were totally wrecked. At South
Wilkesbarre % train in charge of non-union
men was cut in two by mischievous boys.
II was three hours before the train could
be put together again. The strikers com
mittee meanwhile induced the fireman
and two brakemen to quit. Train Dis
: patcher Bardo came to the rescue, and
under his guidance the train was run to
Coxton. At Sugar Notch an unruly crowd
assembled and broke the windows in the
telegraph office The operator fed

PHmLIPsBURG, N. j., Nov 27.-The stu
alton in the Lehigh Valley strike at this
2 point aud Easton is practically un-
changed The railroad company was
more than usually active yesterday in
! sending coal east. Several large trains
were sent out The passenger trains were
nearly on time, but the passengers they
usually carry were absent. A number of
new men joined the strikers yesterday.
Several engines had been sidetracked
near the roundhouse, and il is under
stood they are burned out or otherwise so
damaged that they cannot be used. The
S men employed on the Central and the
Delaware, Lackawanns and Western will
l positively refuse to handle .ahigh Valley
e freight, and any determined effort to
IL. .
. roads.
EAsToN, Pa, Nov. 27.--It was so quiet
about the Lehigh Valley yards here yes
terday that one would hardly believe a
strike to be in progress. The company
i started three freight trains east out of the
u Glendon yards early in the morning, and
= received during the day five freight trains
J. from New York, some of which went OF
>, through to the Wyoming division. Sew
- eral loaded coal trains passed in the after
Il noon bound for Jersey City. The passen
ger trains have been running very much
q behind time, due in a great measure to the
!" failure of the new firemen to keep VI
steam Fifteen or twenty new employs
have joined the ranks of the strikers sine,
Saturday morning.
BUFFALO, Nov 27-The Lehigh strike il
Z practically over The strikers have beer
whipped for forty eight hours now past
e and are hardly aware of it yet The lead.
Il ers realize that defeat has overtaken the
e first and only strike of the Federation o
the Brotherhoods of Railway Employee
in much shorter time than it did the littl
d strike gotten up by the switchmen yea
!, ago. The Lehigh has hired all the mel
: they require, although these men need ex
Il perience. Your correspondent is confident
q after communion with leaders on botl
:: sides, that the Lehigh strike will not ex
y tend, and that the struggle has alread,
! practically passed into history
