days, they had no opportunity to do
anything else than watch the works
and trains, and await developments.
Last evening information was re-
ceived by the strikers from friendly
sources that an additional force Of non
union men would arrive in the course OF
the night, and the strikers appear to
have rallied nearly all their availrble
men, and to have redoubed their
watchfuness. The pointer was a
straight one, and the men put in an ap-
pearance on time. The new men were
three in number, aud they arrived on
the nine o'clock c., l.. e w. train. The
train stopped at the crossing on Han
over street, in front Of the glass house,
and three non-union mon got off. Two
of the three alghted on the side next
the glass house, but the third, a
man named BIankinsop, got off on>the
opposite side. A considerable number
Of the union men were on that side OF
the track, and two OF them grabbed
Blankinsop almost as soon as his feet
touched the ground. At this time about
fifteen of the non-union men, all said to
be armed, were under the passage-way
of the glass house, and when they saw
Blankinsop 10 the grasp OF the union
men, one of the non-union men covered
the captors with Winchester rifle and
ordered the strikers TO let him go. The
union men refused to comply with this
demand, and allege that when they did
so the non-union men fired upon them.
This Is denied by the Buckeye people,
but il is certain that shot was fired at
this juncture by some one, and it was
the signal for general fusillade, which
continued for three or four minutes,
from fifty to seventy-tve shots being
fred 10 all by both sides. Fortunately
the night was very dark and there was
no light in the vicinity. As result
everyoody's aim was wild, and no one
was hit by the flying bullets, as far as
could be ascertained last night. One OF
OF the watchmen at the glass works had
a bullet put through his coat, and there
other narrow escapes. In the melee
Bankinsop disappeared, and could not
be found when the rioting was over.
Several persons declared, however, they
saw him being led away by several OF
the strikers.
As matter of course, the affair
caused a great deal OF wild excitement,
and In five minutes about one hundred
and fifty men had gathered at the scene.
There was good deal Of loud ana
threatening talk, and also good deal
of popular Indignation directed toward
both the non-union men and the man

the management should have informed
the city authorities of the expected ar
rival OF additional men, that the police
force could have been on the scene. AS
il was, with the officers scattered about
town, the authorities had no chance TO
prevent trouble.
The works will start up tomorrow
morning. A small amount of work was
done Yesterday to see il matters were
in good working order, also to try sew
eral new moulds that they have. Ten
pots will be started Monday. The man
agement appears to have little trouble
In securing boys and girls TO work in
the different departments, and IL Is
thought that in a short time the entire
factory will be working in full, as the
management think no trouble will be
experienced in getting men after they
once get started to work.
The man assaulted Friday evening
had warrants sworn out yesterday for
James Lang and William Kellar.
The men and boys who have applied
for positions at the Buckeye were boot
ed at Yesterday whenever they passed a
crowd OF the strikers. Arrangements
have been made so that there will be
no need of as many boys in the factory
as before. The moulds will be worked
by an arrangement that Is termed a
dummy, and is worked by the blower.
Carving over" will be done away
with, as large iron boxes will be used
TO put the glassware in when made.
When they are filled up they are car
ried up by two men and put in the
