ELMIRA. n, Y. Nov. 81. 1898. The
situation at SaYre today Is far more
threatening than it was Yesterday. The
strikers are more determined. aud every
effort to move trains Will be
thwarted, If possible. The train
from New York, due at Sayre
about five O'clock this u,orning'had not
| arrived at eleven, and SO far no other
| train has passed through there. Il is
rnmored that when the train from New
York arrives at Sayre the engine will be
| uncoupled and the train detained.
It is further thought that an effort will
| also be made to detain and prevent trains
carrying the mails from running. So far
no violence has occurred. but the, road Is
completely tied up and it Is difficult to
predict what will occur when the
company attempts to move It's trains.
