THE BIG STRIKE OF 1877

Forty-four years ago this month
Newark assumed a military aspect,
especially that section lying in the
southeastern part of the city, en-
bracing the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road shops and depot, which was
placed under martial law.
The great railroad strike of July,
1877, was on. The railroad officials
and the citizens in general became
greatly alarmed, and several of our
townsmen, having military record
stationed themselves in the court
house yard and with blare of trumpets
and martial music enlisted the aid of
volunteers to protect life and property
in the city, while the railroad officials
got busy and prevailed upon the gov
ernor to send troops to meet THE crisis
which they thought was about to take
place.
The first troops arrived on Satur-
day morning, July 21, and was COM
posed of the following companies:
Champion City Guards of Spring
field, Captain Steele, So muskets, with
six to follow; the Circleville Guards
of Circleville, Captain Groce, a mus
kets; the Mt. Vernon Guards, of Mt
Vernon, Captain Woods, SO muskets,
with four to follow; the GAINESVILLE
City Guards, GAINESVILLE, Captain
Geiger, 35 muskets.
The Circleville and Springfield
companies came over from Columbus,
accompanied by Governor Young, Ad-
jutant General Karr, of the Executive
Department, and General Manager of
Traffic Doherty, of the railroad COM

DIVIDENDS ON WATER is GRIP
PLING NATION

Relief "from the intolerable rail-
way rates that have brought on busi-
ness stagnation throughout the coun-
try" was urged by Mr.. Capper IN a
Senate speech. The Kansas law
maker has introduced a bill which
would repeal the pei cent guarantee
20 railroad stockholders.
81 have never known more alarm
ing situation, so far as the business
of the West is considered" ne said
"The people have paid the railroads
nearly ,OOO,O0O,OOO within the last
few years by way of a government
guaranty. On top of that they have
paid higher rail rates amounting to
from so to 83 per cent.
when railroads get more for haul
ing farm products than the producers
are paid for producing them it is evil
dent that freight rates are entirely
too high.
"Texas rice growers can ship rice
across the ocean to Liverpool and
from Liy erpool back to New York
cheaper than they can ship it by rail
direct from Beaumont, Texas, 10 New
York.
Cotton can be shipped from Gal
weston to Bremen, distance OF 5000
miles for 35 cents hundred pounds.
But to ship by rail a bail of cotton
from the interior of Texas, distance
Of 800 miles, costs 95 cents a hundred
about three times as much.
Spinach, cabbage, and oninos rot
in the fields of Texas; hay and corn
are wasting in Kansas; fruits are
stacked in California, land hides are
going tc waste in all parts of the
country because these products can
not be shipped over American rail-
roads at profit.
"Mr President, nothing is going to
be gained by maintaining rail rates
at a point which makes the railways
too expensive for the people to use.
"The way out is to encourage the
people to use the railroads by making
it possible for them to ship goods and
travel; TO give business a chance to
create more business. There is no
profit in rusting rails for anybody" I"

EASY MONEY
Concession Holders Will Have har-
vest on Labor Day---Get In,
The Waters Fine

This years Labor Day celebration
will be the best, largest and most
enthusiastic of similar gatherings
held in years. The streets will be
packed all day with a crowd which
must be amused and fed. This to
some extent, will be taken care of
by the regular business firms, but the
greater part of it will depend upon
the owners of the various concessions
which will be operated in and about
the public square. A live committee,
consisting of Barch Smith, T. o. Satt-
ler and Sylvester Adam, is in charge
of this department and has already
leased space for a number of amuse-
ment and refreshment booths, but
many desirable locations are not yet
disposed of. Those who desire space
should not delay applying to Barch
Smith, Engineers hall, 11A East
Church street, telephone 2119.
This years committee was unani-
mously in favor of discontinuing the
solicitation of business men and
friends of labor for financial aid and
determined to make the celebration
self-suporting. The Newark Leader
offered to donate large portion Of
the proceeds of the advertising for
it's special Labor Day edition, and
merchants are literally buying space
from the solicitors, who are working
hard under the direction of Mrs. T.
o. Sattler.
The big parade will start early and
will be the largest held in Newark
for many years. Every local heard
from has unanimously endorsed it and
voted to turn out 100 per cent strong.
Watch for many novel features on
this day of days.

BOILERMAKERS CONVENTION

Universal enthusiasm was one Of
the features of the B. & o. Boiler
makers Convention which concluded
it's labors, after transacting a large
amount of important business, at
Cumberland, Md, last week. The fol-
lowing efficient officers were all re-
elected: President, ]. B. Ungruhn,
Cincinnati; Vice President, G. M. Gar
rity, Chicago; Secretary Treasurer,
E. j. Miller, Newark

pany. The GAINESVILLE and Mt. Vernon
boys were in charge of Col. c. c. God
dard, of GAINESVILLE aid-de-camp on the
staff of Governor Young. The fol-
lowing companies joined them later
on: First Regiment o. N. g., Col.
C. B. Hunt commanding, consisting
of the Wayne Guards, Lytle Greys,
Harrison Light Guards, Yagers and
Robinson Light Infantry, all of Gin
cinnati, numbering $50 men, and with
them the Harries Guards and Light
Guards, both of Dayton, numbering
79 men.
After disembarking they were
marched into the Depot Hotel for
"eats" which had been prepared for
them in elegant style by the rail
road authorities. They were then
formed in line and marched to the
company's shops where they were
quartered during their stay in the
city. Their quarters were in the up
holstering department and as cushions
were plenty there was no danger OF
of the boys feeling the soft side of
plank.
MANY of the strikers and SYM
pathizers gathered in the vicinity of
the railroad yards to watch the move
ments of the troops, and to add to
the excitement, on the day of the sup
posed crisis, a foot bridge over the
Licking river fell, and with it nine or
ten persons who were standing on
the section that gave way. Strange
to relate, two companies of militia
had just passed over the bridge in
safety before it went down.
Those injured by the fall were Ray
Beall and William Duffy, both rail-
road men, and a couple of tramps.
Duffy an dthe tramps were reported
to be fatally injured at the time.
Grave apprehension was felt by the
more timorous ones when it became
known that several hundred miners
from the Hooking Valley were headed
for Newark and it was currently re-
ported that they were going to join
the strikers and their coming would
not be conducive to the good and well
fare of the community.
The fact of the matter was that
their isolation prompted them to
start to Newark on friendly mis-
sion to buy provisions and to hear
the latest news but they were met by
delegation of our influential citizens
at Avondale, to form truce, which
was duly accepted by the miners and
they returned to their homes.
The impending crisis with all of its
attending violence, bloodshed and
carnage and wholesale destruction OF
property as predicted by the railroad
officials, failed to materialize, as the
strikers and their sympathizers were
law-abiding citizens, and as a rule,
conducted themselves in very
orderly manner and the sun rose the
next morning and showed that New
ark was still on the map, and locally
speaking, the great railroad strike of
July, 1877, regardless of armed inter-
vention, passed into history with less
violence than any strike of similar
ironoytonce Evert FvertS

placed ir the 40 cold storage ware
houses of this state during the last
three months for next winters re-

Thus to give the public frst-hand
information of Ncwport's Armory--
the setting for next Tuesday 5
elaborate military ball and concert
the imposing structure was visited to-
day by the Caledonian-R Record man.
As one approaches the Armory on
Main street, one is at once struck by
the beauty of the substantial type of
architecture. The exterior, with a
few alterations, is practically the
same as that OF the several othel ar
mories scattered in various cities
throughout the Green Mountain state
But the location OF the Newport
Armory cannot be surpassed by any
in the state. Overlooking the waters
of Lake Memphrcmagog, in the dis
tance can be seen the towering emin-
ence of Owls Head just oyer the line
in Canada. Within easy access Of the
railroad station, and situated, as it is,
on the most beautiful main thorough
fare in Vermont, Company's Is new
home will be a landmark for summer
tourists who will come to Newport in
the summer months.
City Clerk and Treasurer, Rufus
W. Spear obligingly showed the pres
representative through the city Off
ces which have not reached such an
extensive state of completion in tho
new Armory as have the quarters for
the guardsmen and THEN officers. All
of the rooms to be occupied by the
officials of Newport City are located
on the first floor.
Just to the right, as one enters
through the double doors from Main
street, the way leads into the City
Clerk and Treasurer's Offices. Here,
finely finished in oak will be the pub
lie lobby and working space, where
Newport citizens will come when they
pay their taxes. The wainscoting and
all the woodwork is of selected oak,
and promises to present an appear

nifcence of the Armory.

DYNAMITE USED
IN EFFORT TO
LOCATE BODY
Searchers Unable to Find
Body of Little Levas-
seur Boy

After dynamiting the stream fol
a considerable distance on WedneS-
day afternoon and conducting sys-
tematic search from each bank from
the point where the child fell in,
down to the outlet of the Sleepers
River into the Passumpsic this fore
noon, hope that the body of Harold
Levasseur, three year old son of M.
and Mrs. Henry Levasseur, would be
found, was materially lcssened today
although not abandoned. The search
will be continued.
The idea of employing a diver to
hunt in the deeper portions of the
river is still being considered al
though this plan has not been definite
y decided upon. Mrs. Arthur Smith
has very generously offered 70 pay all
Of the expenses incurred if this step
is taken. In numerous places along
the stream there are dead trees,
stumps and debris, Gnder which it
is thought possible the body may
have become lodged At many of
these points the water is very deep,
making it impossible for anyone but
diver, to search. 1t has been Sug-
eestcd that a pulley be used to drag
these trees and stumps from the
water and then make thorough
search of the vicinity. With the water
30 high and the current so swift on
the day the boy was drowned it is
believed there is no question but what
the body was either carried down
stream and into the Passumpsic or
else became lodged along the banks.
