Ui'n-ALo , N. Y. , Aug. 17. The situation
Ibis morning In the great railroad strlko Is
not encouraging. The Now York Central
s.wltcninen having Joined the strlka makes It
much moro formidable. Tbo Central ynrds
nro under picket guards. It Is feared the
strike will spread to the other Vunderbllt
lines , tbo Lane Shore. Michigan Central
nnd West Shore.
Under orders ot General Doyle the cntlro
Fourth brigade of the atato mllllla will bo
concentrated hero today.All will bo noodeJ ,
as the yards cover several miles of territory.
The stnto board of' arbitration here will
tmiko strenuous efforts with both parlies fern
n settlement. Supcilntutident Voorhces of
the New York Ceturat anld to tbo Associatrd
Press this moruuit' that Ihero wuro 150 men
of thut line out. They professed to demand
shorter hours , which thu company preferred
to grant , but they were actually trying to
get a 10 per cent Increase in pay. This also
tbo company would not grant , ns thu men
nro already 'go'.ting moro than nny other men
performing like service on nnv toad In
'tbo Rtnlo. Ho said there hud
been no delay In trains nnd things were lu
need shape because ttioro was no perishable
freight In tno yards. If given protection b.v
the authorities he wou.d have no dlfllculty in
supplying the strikers' placos.
Now that tbo Central switchmen have
gene out It Is probable the Delaware , Lueka-
watm & Western switchmen , who have been
in sympathy with the Lohigh und Krio
itrikors , will soon refuse to handle freight
from the lines on which the strike Is in
progicss. The strike extending may bo far-
reaching and disastrous to business. Tbo
Wust Shbro men nro expected to go out nnd
It is declared tbo Luke Shore men will do
likewise if asked to handle freight from nny
of thu tted-up roads.
The day shift of West Shore switchmen
worked about nn hour this morning nnd
dropped everything right where it stood.
Their demands are similar to the demands
of the Central men. Thu night shift , with
out doubt , will refuse to work
tonight. Gonernl Manager Halstend of
tbo Delaware , Lncknwunnu it Western
lias issued Imperative orders thnt no freight
be received from nny ot thu tlcd-up loads.
The fast freight lines are ptobably the gicat-
est sufferers by the stnlio. Thousands of
dollars worth of purishablu goods are stand
ing on the side traces and nothing can bo
dona toward forwardinc thorn.

BUFFU.O , N. Y. , Aug. 17. This is today n
freight beleaguered town. The pulse of rnll-
roaUcpiiunorclAl business has aloppod-and
tbo wheels of uusmuys are clogged and
clotted with accumulated nnd accumulating
freight trains. People who assume familiar
ity with the symptoms of great strike move
ments arc irrnvo of mir.r.cr nnd speech.
They shako their heads und smile in u wear
ily derisive sort of fashion when some san-
eulno parson announced thnt the strike will
bj short-lived. Those who sea militia on
duty and go away with a conviction that
now nil will bu olcnglnously peaceful are re
garded ns llnmbo.Mint optomlsts. Others
i-tlll. who hear that the stuto arbitration
board Is hero and then go about their affairs
with the belief that all will now bo adjusted ,
oroslowto pcrcolva or too quick to con
clude.
Tno fuel is believed to bo this : That with
thu strlko of the New York Central the
forces of the worklngmon uro only now just
enlisted. They have ro.illy yet to bo drawn
up in line so that they themselves , as well as
their opponents , may see their Iia and
bbupc. Tbu development of strength is
probably yet to come. It will bo recalled
thnt the Central men strucic and were de
feated two years airo. Anybody who knows
anything nbout labor movements decs not
need to bj told thnt the Central switchmen
would not go out into another strike so teen
without there being n concerted plan ar
ranged and n determination to light a
pitched bnltlo for supremacy.

"Tho Lobl li Valley mon first asked for n

this afternoon that tha vYar department had
no information regarding the luuor troubles
In New York and Tennessee beyond what Is
furnished by the press dlsdatche-i , niul thnt
ho bad no ronsan to apprehend n cull for fed

Gonernl Grant felt conlidcnt thnt Governor
Buchanan of Tennessee , wi'h the forces nt
his command , would bo abiu to put a stop to
the noting at Oilvor-SprinRs without the aid
of government troops. The i.earest avail

them lu tha yuras of thu Lvblgli , Jersey
Central , Erie and Pennsylvania roads , but
tbo opinion is common that a strike in sym
pathy would bo Ill-advised. The violence at
ButTulo seems to have had a deterrent effect
on the Jersey City men. As usual , there arc
n few who are read v to strike and favor it ,
and their influence causes some uneasiness.

NisnviLt.K , Tcnn , , Aug. 17. fSpcclal Tele
gram to Tins Bun.l Eighteen hundred
miners assembled nt Oliver Springs this
morning compelled ttio soldiers nnd guards
at tbo prison stockade to surrender , cap
tured thu stockade , burned it nnd forced the
troops to conduct the prisoners to Clinton for
transportation to Nashvillo.
The guards at Oliver Springs hnd repulsed
several hundred men In the early morning.
However , the opposing forces were so largo
that , believing surrender wus preferable to
ulmost certain annihilation , the fifteen
guards nnd tnenty-elght soldiers decided
upon a surrender.
Having expullcd the convicts and their
protectors at this place the minors , who
were strongly rcinforoid today , ex
pressed tholr Intention to make
nn ntttck upon Coal" Crook , where
nearly 200 convicts are in the stockaae ,
guarded by probably 125 mllttiumon and
forty guards , under command of Colonel
Anderson. That the nttaok will tuko place
tonight nppcars moro than likely , as the
blood of the miners is up and they want to
drlvo Irom the stoclcadu thu men whoso
presence there has led to so much bitter feel
ing.
ing.It
It has been n frequent occurronca for vol
leys of bulldts to be llrod Into \ho camp by
minors nnd their sympaihiiors. The fact
that the camp is well protected and is difll-
cult of ucccss has alone prevented injury
being done heretofore. ThospldloM havuie-
turned the shots thus far , but us far as
known there li.iva been no casualties. Both
minors and soldier ! ) are moro determined
than over to maintain tnoir attitude , and in
the event the slocKudo is attacked It Is cer
tain that blood will How frojlv.
Incitement Caused by tlio NCWK.
Tbo prostration of the wires at Oliver
Springs and Coul Creole prevented the re
ceipt of news direct. At last Adjutant ( Son
era ! Norman received u dispatch from Super
intendent linger of the East Tennessee ,
Virginia & Goorcin railroad , announcing the
capture of the soldiers , guards and convicts
und thu destruction of tbo stockade , nnd ask
ing what disposition should bo undo of the
convicts. Mr. linger was instructed to fur
nish transportation to Cbnttanoogn.
Noxl came u telegram from Major Chand
ler continuing tbo news of the Lurrendcr.
Tbo excitement , in Nushvillo , like that in
Knoxville , Chuttinooga and Memphis , over
tbo news was high. Great pressure was
brought to bear upon Governor Buchanan to
call out the en tire National Guard of the
stale of Tonnoiseo. The guard , consisting
of companies in tbo four principal cities and
various towns , comprises nbout 8'JO men.
Bfforo dediding upon ordering the state
cuntd to the scene of trouble , Governor
Buchanan opened telegraphic communication
with the sheriffs of the counties of Hamilton ,
Knox , Roan , Morgan and Anderson. Thee
ofllra-s were directed to summon as many
men as thnv considered advisable and go ut
once to Oliver Springs and Coal Creole.
All tlin .Military Culled Out.
Tbe sheriff of Anderson county , the county
In which the mines are situate J , was reached
with the greatest difliculty , owing to the
luck of telegraphic facilities. Ho sent a
rcplv that ho was powerless to act iu tbo
matter. 1'ositivo orders were for a second
time given him. Ucspunsas from tbo sbcrliT
were slow.
Tonight General Norman called out all the
military companies In the state. Tha local
companies F. commnnded bv Captain
Roach ; compinv C , Captain Bayliss , and
Wushincton artillery , Captain Koburtson
were ordered to leave Nnshvillc on u special

preach , and when the miners were at least a
mile from the stockudo abandoned his post
and with his convicts and guards marched a

Tbo miners were led byD. L. Monroe , who

the convicts were brought to ICnoxvillo , and
the miners left for Coal Creek , where the
miners of the cntlro region are concentrat

toTitu Bun. | Not moro tha-i ono-fourth of
tlio 1(1 ( ! ) delegates to the Fourth district re
publican congressional convention , which
will bo held hero tomorrow , are In thoeity
tonight. All ot the eleven counties In the
district ore icprosented , but net n single
county has Its full delegation on tlio ground.
With the exception of ex-Llcutonnnt General
II. II. Shedd of Saunders , all of the candi
dates are here , and not for real or recreation.
They are J. O. dumb of Jefferson , Judge 13.
J. llntnor of Hamilton , F. J. Simmons of
Seward nnd ex-Governor J. W. Uawcs of
Salino. It Is rumored tonight that the nnmo
of Captain Hcnrv of Filllmoro will bo pre
sented to the convontlon but that compliment
won't cost htm anything.
Tliore is no prospect whatever that n nom
ination will bo reached on the llrst ballot.
It is generally con ceded'that Halnur will
show tbo most strength ut the start.
l''nrrc.Mt of thy Mtimtlon.
While It is impossible"owing to the small
percentBL'o of no delegates hero , to glvo a
closocstim.ua of the strength that will be
developed b.v thu various candidates on the
th-ht ballot , the Indications are that. Halncr
\vlll start In with something llko fifty votoi.
Hamilton county's oluvrn votes coino in
structed for htm. nnd he will find stivftijr sup
port in Butler , I'ollt and York , with some
assistance from G.igo and Pillmore.
Shedd will huvu SiiundoiM county's twelve
votes to go in with nnd possibly a few from
Gage.
Crumb has Jefferson's fourteen In his
pocket nnd will probably have the lion's
slmroot Ttmyer's twelve as long as his pros-
pacts are at all IMSO.UO. Ho counts on ma
terial assistance from Gaco and Fillmore.
Simmons uas Sawurd's votes us the
foundation on which ho hopes to kocp buildIng -
Ing until ho completes the erection of a
structure in which to homo the nomination.
It looks to a nun up a trco us it ho were
wanting In architectural ability to carrv out
bis ambitious design's. Ho Is binking on
several bncits from Thavor , and a few shin
gle * from G.ipo tn top off his cdillco , but it
may happen that tie will have to uio the
shingles before the walls nro up.
iJawcs has the twenty-one votes from this
county , and can reasonably count on it lib
eral slice of the Gugo county delegation.
Wlioro ho is going to got enough moro to
capture the nomination , tbe good Lord only
knows , and ho hasn't Imparted a bit of information
mation about it , not even to 1) iwos.
Only Two Wlio Ar .Strong.
It will bo observed that live and poss'bl.v
six of the eleven countlus ua"c candidates , but
It seems that Hainrr and Cr.unb urn
the only ones who huvo what mav bo termed
really loyal support behind them , nnd ii.ls
believed that the real light will bo between
these two.
Little in the way , of definite result is ex
pected on tlio lirst two ballots , but
a material obango In tha situation maybe
bo counted on after that. Saunders would
of cour.so bo glad to inuko It Shodd , but
such a thing is regarded as hardly within
the range of possibilities. When thu brcatc
comes a part of Suunders will go to Halncr ,
but the major portion will emigrate to the
Crumb side ot tbo lio'iso.
Simmons has been making a thorough
cnnvnss anu has been cut in tvory oountv
axcopt tbo homos of rival candidate * . Tim
Sewiird delegation will probably stiind
by him for two ballot- ; , unless sucli
an improbable thing would happen
as that such a course would 'lead
to his probable nomination. It seems a crnrl
thing to say , but that is bow n Seward dele
gate expressed it , und in explanation auld
thut Seward would compliment her candi
