MAoHIN1srs, STRIKE ON B. & 4.
Road to Move Engine House from West
 springfield.

Springfield, Mass. Aug. 1O,-The att titude of the Boston & Albany officials ln regard to the machinists's strike now on their hands was shown to-day by the stopping of all work upon the New
 England engine house at West Spring
 field, which has just been begun. The officials declare that they are tired of tbe trouble with the unions and will | move the engine house to Worcester,
 where less difficulty is experienced. They will reduce the work at the West Springfield shops to minimum. The general superintendent of motive power l of the whole New York Central system
 was in the city to-day conferring with officials. By the calling out of the ap- prenticeos in the machine shop this morning the shop was made deserted and increased the number of strikers to
 about 150. The union men are picketing the shops closely but have found no
 men looking for their places
 Worcester. Aug. 10.-Boston and AL bany officials tonight announced that ! Worcester is to be made headquarters for the motive power department and machine shops on the Boston and Al bany division of the New York Central
 road that are now located in Spring field. Contracts for a fifty-pit round. house costing $75.0o0 and for machine shops costing $65, ,000 now in process of building in Springfield. were abrogated yesterday at the instigation of Super l lintendent J. B. Stewart, of the Boston land Albany division, and General Su- iperintendent J. Fl. Deems, in charge of the motive power department of the
 New York Central road.
 I This change is indirectly the result of the strike of the railroad machinists on the Boston and Albany division. The
 plan of removing the shops to Worces- ter was contemplated, however, long be- fore. Officials of the road realize that Worcester has more machinists than lany other city In the country and that there are less labor troubles here than lin any other city.
 I Springfield was chosen as headquar-s lters for the shops because 1t was about lequidistant from Boston and Albany,
 but this advantage is counteracted I since locomotives were changed for the grades at Worcester.
 The bringing of the shops to Worces- I ter will afford employment for about 1.-two hundred skilled mechanics and at the same time will upset plans of the lstriking machinists. who will not be granted their demands Officials be- ilieve they can get plenty of skilled machinists in Worcester and thus do iaMay with further labor trouble

COMING FIsTIC BATTLE.
1champion Jefrries Now Weighs Close to
 a3O Pounds

San Francisco. Aug. 1O.The latest. news from Harbin Springs is to the eff feet that Champion Jeffries now weighs close to 230 pounds. but does not appear to be fieshy. Trainer Delaney is confi- dent that the fight with Corbett next Friday will be comparatively short one.
 .The champion, < he said to-day, stdoes not intend to permit the bout to drag along to an endless length. Jef- fries will fight with such strength and speed that he will early bring Corbett down to his level in the question of agility. When he once gets him there the battle can be considered as over. <,
 When this statement was repeated to Corbett the latter said: So Jeffries ex- poets to make the fight short one, does he? We'll, hope he tries to, for if he does he will find me on hand. He will not have to chase me either, for have invented short arm defense which I believe will prove an enigma to him. I am much stronger now than I have ever been, and firmly believe I will be able to put force enough in my blows to knock Jeffries down and put him out"

BASEBALL FOR PRISONERS.
successftsi Experiment. at State Prssesl 5. at CharisstosSI., Mass.

at ChartestoSn, Efass.
 Boston, Aug. 10.-As a relaxation from cell life and as reward for good conduct base ball games are being tried with most satisfactory results, it is said, by Warden Bridges, at the state prison in ECharlestown. The warden says that the game not only gives the prisoners a beneficial change from the routine of prison discipline, but it affords a diver sion for their minds, enables them to breathe fresh air and get look at the blue heavens above.
 Not the least advantage resulting from the innovation, it Is pointed out, is an improvement in discipline. The war den says the prisoners act as if pernnis- sion to play ball or see a ball game is the greatest boon that can be conferred upon them next to a pardon or the ex- piration of a sentence.
 The inmates have two hines, called the Resolutes and the Hustlers. and they play every fair weather Saturday. There is room enough for 200 spectators, all prisoners, in the yard.
