BUTTER HELD A YOUNG, South Spring street, room 1. 7-31 lyr TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 23, 1892. THE AIR FULL OF BULLETS. A Riot Reported in Progress at Buffalo. The Switchmen Unassisted in Their Strike. » Conference of the Heads of All the Allied Brotherhoods. The Locomotive firemen Will Not Go Out Unless All the Organisations Agree to Join ln a Gen eral Strike. By the Associated Press.] Chicago, 111., August 23, 4 a. m,— A special from Buffalo timed 3:30 a. m. says: Since 2 o'clock this morning bullets have been flying all' over the freight yards, and rumors of killings are prevalent all along the line afid at every post. It is reported tbat a regular engagement took place in the Erie yards, one mile from town, and that four men were killed and two wonnded. It is also said one of the dead is a soldier. It is impossi ble to verify the rumor, In qniryat brigade headquarters brought ihe information that the news of the shooting had been received, but no de tails were obtainable. At tbe police station nothing is known. THE RUMOR VERIFIED. Buffalo, Aug. 23.-4 a. m.—An attack was made on the Twelfth regi ment shortly after 2 o'clock by gangs of strikers and their friends. They crept up to within a stone's throw of the camp, hiding under cars and behind trucks, and then threw atones and pieces of iron at the soldiers. The soldiers answered the attack with bullets. The shooting kept up for a long time, and still the stone throwing continued. ► SHOOTING STILL GOING ON. There ia aome shooting going on at this hour. Most of the shots are com ing from the direction ol the Clinton street crossing of the Nickel Plate road. Captain Boylan is there in charge of Company X of the Twelfth. There are tenements near the railroad, and the people are all out in the atreet. There is great excitement. [the latest report. The latest report from the scene of the shooting is that four men were killed and two Wounded in one place in tbe Erie yard, a mile outside of the city, and tbat a number of other men were wounded by the soldiers' bullets in other yards. The soldiers at Sen eca street aay that three men have been killed by the Seventy-first regi ment. It ia impossible to get by the guards within a mile of the Seventy first. SWITCHMEN GOING IT ALONE. The Firemen 'Will Not Strike Unless all Other Trainmen Do. Buffalo, Aug. 22.—Master Workman Sweeney, of the switchmen's order, has now asked the heads of all the other labor organizations allied to the switch men in railroad work to meet him here. Already Sargent is here, and the others are expected tomorrow and next day. The trend of fair judgment leads to the conviction that there will be no con certed abandonment of work by the or ganizations to be represented in the con ference. No conference can possibly occur before Wednesday, while there is a likelihood that the first session will not be held before Thuraday. In tbe mean time, speculation may be expected as to whether Sweeney will order out other switchmen west or east, or both, or whether he will announce, officially and formally, the defeat of his men. About fifty men who acted as switch men for the Western New York and Pennsylvania railroad, this afternoon ceased work because tbey were required to handle freight from the Central. There are renewed intimations that the switchmen of tbe Grand Trunk may add themselves to the strikers. No troops will be withdrawn until time shall have made improbable any further attacks upon the preaent switch men. General Porter aaid today, tbe troopa will be ordered home aa soon as the situation warrants it. The Lake Shore officials repoit a nor mal condition of freight traffic, and are working cara tonight. Full forces are working everywhere, night and day, and the officials are now spending their time looking for business. One-third of the car handlers employed on the Le high trestle on the water front stopped work thia afternoon, and told the yard master that they would not resume un til the grievance with the switchmen was settled. The men are not dissatis fied with their own condition. It ia believed here that the firemen of the local organization have passed the point where tbe enthusiasm of their sympathy might take tbem out on a strike. It is not thought now that they will go out independent of the order at large. During every hour since Friday night's meeting, firemen who are in a position to know exactly what the com pany are doing in freight traffic, have observed a steady increase in the movement of freight. It is aaid that f-'argent today informed Sweeney that while he as sumes the switchmen's cause to be just, and they have hia sympathy, he would not call an isolated strike of the firemen in this locality; but, if the time cornea when labor must assert itself and the other allied orders will come eat, he is willing to place his men in the same column. Briefly, then, a strike, if it comes, must be one involving the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, tbe Brotherhood of Railway Conductorst and the Brotherhood of Railway Telegya i pherg. | Seen after his arrival Sargent met Sweeney in a conference, after which an Associated Press correspondent met the firemen's chief, and asked him if he had given an ultimatum. He said, in effect: "The firemen will not be called out, except they are joined by other labor organizations allied in railway work. That is the situation, and I told Sweeney exactly that. Bweeney invited me to a conference with himself and tbe executive officers of the railroad labor unions. Sweeney will place the situation before these of ficers, and a determination will be joint ly reached as to whether organized rail way labor shall make this an occasion for a united effort." Vice-President Webb of the Central said this morning he bad not yet made an answer to the proposition of Sheriff Beck to swear in as deputy sheriffs all tbe non-union switchmen employed on the Central. A Bwlteh Tampered With. Suspension Bridge, N. V., Aug. 28.— About 8 o'clock tonight some one pulled a switch at the junction of the Buffalo branch of the Central and Michigan cantilever bridge. In consequence, a West Shore freight train, bound for Buffalo, was partly derailed. Gate Tender Fellows was slightly injured in attempting to open the gate. The acci dent happened near the strikers' head quarters. Tbe Blockade Broken at Elniira. Elmiba, N. V., Aug. 22.—The block ade is broken and freight is being handled without opposition. The strik ers do not admit their defeat, and are inclined to think there will yet be trouble in that region. A MILITARY DESPOTISM. MARTIAL LAW ENFORCED WITH A VKNGEANOB IN IDAHO. All Saloons Closed ln the Cceur d'Alene Beglen, and Hlnes Employing Union Men Compelled to Shut Down. Warden, Idaho, Aug. 22.—A1l the sa loons have been closed here, and no one ia allowed on the streets after 11 p. m. The saloon-keepers being strong sympa thizers with tbe union miners, their places have been closed to prevent se cret meetings of the union. The Her man and Tiger mines were worked by the union, who continued to hold meet ings a,id tendered support to those wbo were locked out. General Curtis or dered the shut down of both mines, and will not allow union men to be employed at any point in the county. In order to hold the troops here to guard against a possible outbreak as a consequence of such a shut down, the order directing three companies to proceed to Creur d'Alene city, with the prisoners, has been suspended, and the troops will re main here until after September Ist. The law-abiding citizens are chafing under the restraint of martial law, some declaring that General Curtis is abusing the power conferred upon him. He has relieved the town marshals of Wallace and Wardner, and placed dep uty sheriffs in full control. Thfe trans fer of prisoners to Cceur d'Alene was de clared by Mr. Crosswaithe, public ex aminer of the department of justice, to be illegal, until the men are indicted by the United States grand jury. A Mysterious Murder. Carson, Nev., Aug. 22.—One Tom O'Hare was found on the overland track this morning, with a bad wound in the head. He was brought to tbe sheriff's office, and died unconscious. Laat night he was seen in company with two men, who have disappeared. He had silver and gold on his person, and wanted to shake dice. On several occasions in saloons he displayed bis money. It is supposed he waa beaten until insensible, and carried out in the open air. The ground where he lay bore no evidence of % struggle. After being brought to the sheriff's office a piece of his skull was removed, but he did not revive. Tax receipts dated Colusa county, California, were discovered in his pockets, with the above name on them. The body re mains unclaimed, and there is no clew to the man's slayers. Railroads on Top. New York, Aug. 22. — A dispatch from Dallas, Tex., says: Judge McCor mick, at Dallas, in a decision in the case of the railroads against the Texas rail road commissioners, decided every point in favor of the railroad companies, and granted an injunction against the com missioners, restraining them from estab lishing the proposed rates. These rates proposed by the commission, the rail roads claimed would have compelled them to run the roads at a serious loss. Rain in Ariiona. Tucson, Ariz., Aug. 22.—Heavy rain throughout southern Arizona, commenc ing at 7 p. m. last night, continued all night. One and a half inches fell in this section; in the vicinity of Dragoon it was very heavy; at Bowie, advices say, over 10 inches fell. Rain is still falling in the surrounding mountains.

By the Associated Press.] Nashville, Term., Aug. 22.—Informa tion received by the governor, ia to the effect that quiet prevails at Coal Creek, bnt troops will be held in readiness for any movement on the part of the min ers. The Tennessee Coal and Iron and Railroad company officials held a con sultation today with the stats) board of prison inspectors. The result of the conference is not given out, but enough has been stated by the officials and lessees to warrant the statement that the convicts will be returned speedily to the mines, and that the state will pro tect them in so doing. EXCITEMENT SUBSIDED. Coal Cxesk, Term., Aug. 22;—A1l ex citement seems to have suddenly sub sided, and the opinion ia becoming general that there will be no further trouble, although rumors can be heard on all aides, which, when traced up, turn out to be false.

The troops are all in good spirits, and evidently relish the opportunity for real work, even though it is not actual war. PRISONERS BESINNUSa TO TALK, General Caraes said this evening: "The prisoners are just beginning to open their months, and some startling developments will be made in a short while. They all belong to a secret, oat ii-bound order, and the penalty of breaking their obligation is death; con sequently they have been as close as clams heretofore. We got several con fessions from them today, which at this stage of the proceedings it would be un wise to give out, but I state this much— when tbey are made known they will create much surprise." George E. Irish, a notorious miner leader, was brought from Knoxville to Coal Creek at 11:30 tonight. At 11:60 p. m. a detachment of sol diers forcibly entered the telegraph office, and are examining tbe telegraph files to get tbe addresses and names of miners. MINERS WILLING TO SURRENDER.

Governor Buchanan instructed At torney General Brown to leave nothing undone to bring to trial all who participated in tbe riots; to employ the best counsel to assist him, and if the sheriff of Marion county could not, with the assistance of the citizens of the county, bring the men to trial, he would send a sufficient military force to do so. The governor informed the attorney-general that the law would be enforced at all hazards. The determi nation of tbe authorities has had a salu tary effect. Krtegerfest Contest*.
