BtFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 19. The Lake
Shore switchmen stopped work at 2
o'clock. They left both the South and
East Buffalo yards at the same hour.
Seven switch engines usually busy at
this hour are now idle.
The Lackawanna men are expected
to go out before daybreak.
The strike on the Lake Shore was
precipitated by the New York Central
offering the former road some freight
switched by nonunion men.
The switchmen refused to handle it
and were at once discharged. The re
maindcr of the crews struck at once.
This affects sixty men and by morning
will affect double that number. It is
now said that not only the Lackawanna
but the Nickel Plate men will go out
this morning.
After much effort the New York
Central's officials have been successful
in convincing the city and county
officials that the force of militia at the
command of Gen. Doyle is not sufficient
to give proper protection to the men
and property of the railroads. A call
for more troops is signed by Mayor
Bishop and Sheriff Beck, and is as fol
lows:
"We have become satisfied that the
situation here in Buffalo under the
pending strike has become so serious
that we ask that the national guard
of the State be called out to protect the
lives and property of the citizens of
this city and county."
Word has been received that the nec
essary papers are being made out at
Albany for the Governor's signature.
As he has already said he would sign
them there is no question about the
presence of a large body of troops
within a day. Already two of the New
York regiments are ready to leave, and
dispatches are being received from the
smaller places that separate companies
there are ready. This order will bring
a force of 13,000 men to Buffalo.
Grand Master Wilkinson of the train
men has arrived here and held a meet
ing with members of the order. He is
entirely non-commital. He says he
may be here two days or two weeks.
This, taken in connection with the
statement of a well-posted trainman
"that we will have a finger in the pie
in a vcek if the strike is not settled
sooner," is significant.
At the Erie elevator there was a
prospect of trouble. The elevator was
glutted with grain. Six boats had to
be refused. An attempt was made to
run down a string "of empty cars, but
the strikers interfered. Two compan

William street. When they arrived
the attempt had been given up and
nothing was done. The place was de
serted, so the soldiers went back again
to East Buffalo.
IT WAS MIRACULOUS.
Two Hundred American Tourists Narrow
ly Escape Death.
Montreal Canada, Aug 19. The
passengers of the Richelieu and Onta
rio Navigation company's new steamer
Columbian which ran aground in the
Cedar rapids yesterday afternoon,
reached the citj- this morning and tell
a thrilling story of their experience.
The Columbian, which was on her
way from Kingston to Montreal, had
about two hundred American tourists
on board. Everything went well until
the steamer struck Cedar rapids. When
about half-way through the rapids the
chains connecting with the steam
steering gear suddenly broke. Pilot
Quellette at once connected the hand
steering gear, but to his consternation
that also broke. The boat was darting
down the rapids at the rate of between
fifteen and twenty miles an hour, but
Quellette ordered all steam on. This
was done to keep the steamer from
going broadside onto the current and
rolling over.
Under the impetus the Columbian
made with the rapidity of a railroad
train straight toward a little island in
the rapids known as Crane island. Not
a passenger on board knew what had
occurred. None realized how closely
they were to eternity. Indeed most of
them thought that it was part of the
program to take them so close to the
island and that before reaching it the
steersman would sheer the boat off
and she would continue on her way
down the boiling rapids. Suddenly a
crunching sound was heard as the
keel of the steamer grated along the
rocks.
Hawsers were thrown out to the
shore and the Columbian was held safe
in her perilous position. About one
half of the passengers, went ashore by
the bridge. There were three islands
to be crossed before they reached the
mainland. Between two of these
islands the native boatmen transferred
the passengers and the trip was an ex
perience that few of them will ever

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.
A Nervy Cowboy Drives them from the
Car With Hot Lead.
Greeley, Colo., Aug. 19. Last night
as the Denver & Cheyenne passenger
train on the Union Pacific stopped at
the coal chutes at LaSalle, two masked
men entered one of the cars and with
loaded revolvers ordered the passengers
to hold up their hands. In profusion
they went up instanter, and the fellows
were on the point of collecting toll
from the astonished passengers when
one of the latter opened fire from his
gun on the hold-ups. The latter re
turned the fire, but one of them get
ting hit they both jumped from
the car and fled. LaSalle is
the junction of the Union Pa
cific Short 'Line arid the Colorado
Central, is six miles south of Greeley,
and all trains stop here for water and
coal. As near as could be ascertained,
the man on the train who opened fire
on the hold-ups is a member of one of
the wild west shows that have been
exhibiting at Denver the last two
weeks and with the show was going to
Kansas City.

OUR 6T. LOUIS LETTER.
A Hotbed of Political Conflict Athtetlo
Revival.
B. Louis, Aug. 15. For the first
time in the history of politics in this
State, the headquarters of both the
great parties, as well as the People's
party have been established in St.
Louis. The Republicans have the
whole of one story of a hotel on Fourth
street, the Everett house, and the Dem
ocrats have their rooms in the Laclede
hotel. The People's party managers
are at the Richelieu hotel . All of these
places are crowded from early morning
to evening with candidates and their
friends; and politicians from all parts
of the State are making the city tho
hub of every journey they take through
the counties. Both the -Republican and
the Democratic parties intended at first
to establish branch headquarters in
other cities in Missouri, but they aban
doned the idea, concluding that the
central position of St. Louis made that
unnecessary. Here the managers are
able to obtain close communication with
National headquarters, too, and that is
a thing of importance.
The athletes of the city now see
their way clear to making St. Louis a
great athletic center. The Pastimes
will begin Boon to lay out their new
grounds near the electric car lines in
the western part of the city, and Chris.
Vop dcr Ahe, the baseball manager,
announces that his plans are ready for
his big ball park and athletic field,
which he intends to have in condition
for use next season. Mr. Von der Ahe
will try to have all the games of the
chibs which are not under the Pastime
management, held on his grounds, and
the result will be a livelier competition
in matters athletic than the city has
seen for some time. The Pastimes
have no Sunday games, and that is the
point of difference between them and
the other athletic organizations of the
city. Mr. Von der Ahe will open his
grounds with a series of ball games
early next season, and the Pastimes
will receive the public on their field
with a contest that will bring athletes
from all over the country to St. Louis.
The admirers of Frank P. Blair are
anxious that the Indies having charge
of the woman's exhibit for Missouri at
the World's Fair shall make the statue !
they are to erect at the entrance of tho
State pavilion one of that great Mis
sourian. The ladies have not decided
whose statue they will have there, and
they want to find out first what the
people of the State think about it. The
statue will be of heroic size, and will
be made by a St. Louis sculptor, either
Robert Bringhurst or Fred Ruckstohl,
probably. If the statue is to be Blair
the sculptor will take him in a pose
different from the one in which he is
shown by the statue out at the en
trance of Forest Park.
The postal clerks of the United Slates
seem to be fond of St. Louis. They
are going to hold another convention
here soon, and finish the work they
began here two years ago. They are
trying to eliminate politics entirely
from the postal service, and make the
civil service rules apply to it from top
to bottom. The thing they arc after
now is to get all the clerks graded, so
that those who are most efficient may
get the best pay, without regard to
their influence or party leaning.
There will be about three hundred del
egates at the convention.
Accused of Appropriating S30O.OO0.
Boston Mass., Aug. 17. Later inves
tigations bring to light certain facts
that seem to warrant the assertion that
James E. Gilman, the missing member
of the bankrupt grain firm of Gilman,
Cheney & Co., misappropriated no less
than $300,000 of other people's money.
Appearances now indicate that Gilman
has led a double life, although stand
ing high in business and social circles.
It is said that there s a woman in the
case.

IfATB FOR VOVKUNOa
A Sketch of His Career-A man With
a Brilliant War itecord.
Lorenzo Crounse was born January
27, 1834, in Schoharie county. Now
York. One of his great grandfathers
had come to this country from Wut
tenburg, famous in the history of the
world since the time of Luther. Young
Crounse went through that early train
ing from which so many great Ameri
cans have graduated a common school
education followed by several years
of work as tho head of a country
Echool. Mr. Crounse began his career
As a teacher at the age of 17. and con
tinued in that occupation for three
successive winters, during which pe
riod ho saved sufficient means to give
him two summer terms at Charlotte
ville seminary, New York. He then
read law at Fort Plain in the same
state, and was admitted to practice in
the year 1856. Here he set up his
otlico and entered upon the field of
law. Four years iater, he was mar
ried to Miss Mary E. E. Griffiths, like
him. a native of New York state.
A ItrllllaMt Mir lleeorit.
At the outbreak of the rebellion, Mr.
Crounse enlisted at his country's call.
He raised the company known as Bat
tery K. First regiment New York light
artillery, and was at once chosen as its
captain. In the summer of 18G2 he
was eeverely wounded at Beverly Ford
on the Rappahannock river, and was
compelled on this account to resign
and return to his home in September
following.
He resumed the practice of his pro
fession, continuing in Fort Plain until
1864. when he removed to NebrasKa.
and settled at Kulo, Richardson coun-
HON. LORENZO CItOUNSE.
ty. He was elected, in the fall of
1865, to represent that county in the
territorial legislature. In this session,
the last that was to act under the ter
ritorial regime, he served on tho judi
ciary committee, as, also, upon the
special committee appointed to draft
the first constitution for the proposed
state of Nebraska. He took a promi
nent part both in drafting that docu
ment and in advocating its adoption by
the people.
Graced the nprcme Bench.
With the adoption of the constitu
tion of 1866, Mr. Crounse was elected
at the age of 32 as one of the three jus
tices of the first supremo court of the
new state. He was associated on the
bench with the late Oliver P. Mason
as chief justice, and George B. Lake
associate justice, and was assigned the
Third judicial district comprising ail
the state north of the Platte except
Douglas and Sarpy counties. In the
deliberations of the court; he at once
took a most active part, participating
particularly in those cases demanding
an exposition of' tho provision of the
new constitution. His share in defin
ing and applying that document to the
various intricate problems that arose
was one of no little importance, and
was marked throughout by a profound
study of the underlying principles of
democratic government.
The opinion in the very first case
reported in the series of Nebraska re
ports was written byWudge Crounse
and dealt with the intricacies of the
law of landlord and tenant. In the
case of tho People vs. McCallum, the
judgment of the court rendered by
Judge Crounse interpreted the clause
in the constitution restricting any bill
from having more than one snbject,
which shail be ciearly expressed in
the title, as not intended to prevent
the legislature from selecting it? own
title although the one selected might
not be the most suitable and compre
hensive. This liberal reading of the
clause was necessary to the validity of
various acts that had been passed.
Another oportunity was given for
interpreting the new constitution in
the famous case of Brittle vs. the Peo
pie. The point at issue turned on the
question whether under the constitu
tion of Nebraska a colored man had a
right to sit on a jury. The question
was decided in the affirmative, and
gave Judge Crounse an opportunity to
review at length the history of the
"fundamental condition" which con.
gress had attached to the enabling act,
namely, the clause striking out the
restriction of the suffrage to white
citizens only. In an able argument
the opinion of the court. Chief Justice
Mason dissenting, supported the power
of congress to prescribe conditions
upon which the admission of a state
into the union is to be effected. The
result reached by Judge Crounse is in
conformity with various later decis.
ions of the United w States supreme
court and has been quoted approvingly
in several text-books by writers of
authority,
A JnstaBd Fearless Jade.
Again in the case of Hallenbeck va
Hahn, a case arising in Douglas coun
ty from the refusal of a property own
er to pay a tax, part of which was
intended to go as a bonus to a railway
company, occasion was given to eluci-

clusion Judge Crounse drew distinctly
tie dividing line between the fields of
legislative and judicial action. 'Un
less the constitution is violated in some
of its parts, the plain office of the
court is to declare the act unconstitu
tional. With aiy question as to the
wisdom of the law or the policy of its
enactment, we, in common with all
citizens of the state, may have our
oninion. but we have no right to avail
ourselves of our position to give effect
to such opinion unless it accords with
principle and authority. The prov
ince of the court has too freequently
and too unmistakably been declared
to be misunderstood or disrearded."
A Proud Career lu Congress.
Judge Crounse did not stand fur re
election at the expiration of his term,
but continued his connection with the
bench for the next two years in the
capacity of supreme court reporter.
The oniy reason for retiring from the
supreme court was that he had already
in 1S72 been nominated for congress
over John Taffe. then member of the
house, and Silas A. Strickland, and
had been elected by a rousing major
ity. He served not only through the
Forty-third congress, but was also
selected to the Forty-fourth congress.
In the former ho was assigned a pi ace
upon the committee on territories at
that lime a committee of considerable
importance by reason of the vast do
main still excluded from state govern
ment. During his second term he was
an influential member of the commit
mittee on public kinds.
All through his congressional career
Judge Crounse was ever active in fur
thering the interests of his constitu
ents and the welfare of the nation.
His first speech was in favor of the re
peal of the salary-grab act which had
been passed by tho previous congress,
and he joined his vote with those that
strucic it from the statute book. Ho
protested against any reduction of the
army which would make it inadequate
to tho protection of the frontier, and
secured the passage of an act subjecting
all lands included in the Pacific rail
way grants to state and local taxation.
His efforts to obtain an appropriation I
of $50,000 for a permanent fort on the
Loup river in Nebraska faiied. but he
succeeded in having a bill passed for
the relief of sett'ers upon puoiic lands
in this state who were suffering from
injury by grasshoppers.
An Active AiHi-lonopllC.
He put forth his utmost endeavor to
get an enactment by congress compel
ling the Union Pacific to prorate with
tho south branch of the B. & M. In
the course of his remarks upon the
biil, he denounced the monopoly of the
Union Pacific as one of the grossest
kind. "The experience of the people
of NebrasKa," said he, '-is not an en
couraging one. The Union Pacific
company has even undertaken to run
the politics of the state. At our last
convention, the unseemly spectacle
was presented of Jay Gould and Sidney
Dillon being at Omaha in communica
tion with the superintendent of the
road, at the convention, tho wires
communicating between them. I re
peat, I am not in the interest of nor
specially hostile to any of these roads
and the attempt of the gentleman (Mr.
Frye) to put me in that attitude is in
keeping with the rest of his efforts on
behalf of the company he is defending.
All I ask is what is right and what is
due to the people, no matter wnich
road it benefits or prejudices."
The influence of the corporations at
Washington, however, was too strong,
and the same fate overtook his bill to
reduce the charges of the Union Pa
cific for hauling freight across the
bridge at Omaha from $10 to $3 per
car which passed the house but was
pigeonholed in the senate.
In tho contest attending the count
ing of the electoral vote of 1876. Judge
Crounse recorded his vote along witn
all his leading republican colleagues
in opposition to the bill providing for
the electoral commission.
Faithful ( Ilia truss.
In 1S76 he declined to be a candi
date for a third term to congress, his
friends urging him to enter the race
for the United States senate. Three
years later he was given, without sol
icitation on his part, the office of col
lector of internal revenue for Ne
braska, a position which he retained
for four years, retiring with a cer
tificate of the commissioner that his
office held rank among the best con
ducted in the service.
Jud?e Crounse retired to his farm
at Fort Calhoun in 1883 and. as he
thought, from public life. He gave J
his attention to the raising of tine .
stock and fruits and continued to taice. !
as he hnd always taken, a warm in
terest in the state and various county
fairs in which ho was at times an ex
hibitor and otlicer.
In the 8)rinr of 1891 he was. at tha
i
urgent solicitation of Senators Man- '
dcrson and Paddocic and other friends, i
induced U accept the position offered
him by President Harrison assistant
secretary of the treasurv. (

making such rapid progress as to en
courage the belief that in five years it

but will give a large surplus for ex

California butter at San Francisco have
increased over 2,000.000 lbs. or more
than 25 per cent, while the receipts of
Eastern butter have decreased about
as many pounds, or about 60 per cent.
The receipt of California cheese at the
same place has increased proportion-
ateiy as much as butter.
THEYMAY ALL STEIKE
ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN BE
COMING UNEASY.
They Object to the Trevence of the
Guards on Trains OnVrs of Arbitra
tion Kcfused hj Moth the Lines Inter
ested Troops llclnsr Massed.
Buffalo, Aug. 20. Advices from the
railroad yards here say that the
impression is growing hourly that the
firemen and engineers will soon go
out. The soldiers say the engineers
give them as much trouble as
the strikers and annoy them in every
way. Every time an engine passed
the engineer would open the valves
and drench thein with hot or cold
water. The soldiers were on the trestle
thirty feet above the ground and
could not move even if they were
scalded. It is explained by the rail
road authorities that they can
not move freight very rapidly until
they have more protection.
Long lines of freight cars were pull
ing slswly out of Buffalo all day. On
top of each train was a squad of twenty-five
soldiers, who remained with the
train until it was safely past the dan
ger points. It is in that way that the
railroads have been able to do some
business, and it is in that way that a
new complication is likely to be
caused. There is no question but that
the fever of unrest has struck the fire
men and trainmen hard. Even the en
gineers are feeling it. An excuse seems
to be all they need for going out, and
in the use of soldiers to guard the
trains they think they have found that
excuse. It will not be at all surprising
if by to-morrow the firemen and train
men refuse to handle any trains
guarded in the manner indicated.
What will Le done then is a big ques
tion. The trainmen held a meeting and
spent several hours considering the
situation. The question of striking
was discussed, and it was decided that
in certain contingencies the men will
strike. Said one of them: "If the
engineers and firemen go out you can
count on the trainmen at once quitting.
More than that I cannot tell 3011." It
ii reported that the firemen have re
ferred their case to Grand Master Sar
gent. Eight thousand men have so far been
ordered here. Two thousand were al-rcadj-
on the ground and about 500,
including the Tenth Battalion of
Albany, arrived at G o'clock. Others
are due later. The New York and
Brooklyn regiments and the companies
from the Hudson towns arc due here
now.
Two strikers are locked up at No. 8
station house charged with a violation
of See. 14, Chap. 1, of the penal code.
They had a deep-laid scheme for ditch
ing the fast mail, which leaves here
over the Central at 11:40, but it was
nipped in the bud by Sergt. Burkhardt
and two policemen from the Eighth
precinct, who caught the miscreants in
the very act of throwing the switch on
the main track near Filmore avenue
just before the train was due to pass.
Hud it not been for Sergt. Rurkhardt's
keen perception the loss of many lives
would have been the result.
It is plainly evident that the leaders
ait planning for a spread of the strike.
They see now that their only hope of
winning is to call out just as many em
ployes on just as many roads as is pos
sible. The trainmen and firemen are
counting nocs and before the night is
over the3- may come to a decision as to
their future course. Engineers, it is
also said, have been approached and
meetings have been called to discuss
the stand they shall take. Conductors,
too, will be brought in if possible. In
this way it is hoped that so many men
will be laid off in so many branches of
labor that it will be a practical impos
sibility" for the roads to run trains even
with a million soldiers to guard them.
The Delaware, Lackawanna fc West
ern, which has already conceded the
rate demands of the men, went even
further and formally notified its em
ployes that they would not be asked to
handle a pound of boycotted freight.
The result is that the men of that road
arc extremely loyal to it. One of them
in the yards remarked that he and his
colleagues would be ready even to fight
for their employers. The strikers re
gard the Western New York and Penn
sylvania officials and the Rochester
and Pittsburg officials as a "gentle
manly lot."
WILL HAVE NO FUSION.
Iowa Democrats Sleet and Name a
Ticket.
DAVENroRT, Iowa, Aug. 20. The
Democratic State convention yester
day nominated a full State ticket and
announced that the Democracy of Iown,
will have no fusion with the People's
party and proposes to make a
straight-out fight this fall. The
platform adopted by the conven
tion is a lengthy document, but it
follows the well-known lines of similar
utterances by that party in previous
campaigns in the State. The ticket is
composed largely of new men and men
who have not hitherto taken much
prominence in Iowa politics outside
their own localities. It is as follows:
Secretary of State, John II. McConlo
gue; Treasurer, Charles Rncgnitz; Au
ditor, S. P. Van Dike; Railway Com
missioner, W. (I. Kent; Attorney-General,
Ezra Willard.
The levee lelow New Orleans is
cracking in several places and fears of
inundations at these points are ex
pressed. The Sixteenth Illinois District Home
Missionary society of tho Christian
church closed its session at Mount Car
mel. Dominick McCaffre3' states that he
will box Corbett at Madison Square
Garden after the big mill at New Or
leans. On the Fernando road, near Nash
ville, Tenn., Carroll Rutherford, while
still in bed, cut his wife's throat and
then his own. Both were dead when
found.
Thomas McGary vas found dead b
the railroad track at Ottumwa, Iowa.
Murder is suspected.
Andrew Warfield and Charles Bos
well quarreled at Lcwiston, 111. War
field stabbed Boswell, killing him in
stantly. Alfred Nieman, a farmer of Durand,

the heat.
