Xo MAILS AT CHICAGO ON VANDERBILT ROADS, Cuicago, August 11.—The firqgmen on. the Vanderbilt lines running into Chicago had not been called out at midnight, but irit of an- easin’ mp 2 ‘ades the ranks of all employes of the Shore and the ichigan Central. The Lake Shore announced that it had abandoned the last night fast mail from New York due to arrive at 1:30 this morning. No reason was assigned for this by the officials and they could not say whether of not§there was trouble on the eastgend of the Lake Shore or if it was on account of trouble on the Now York Central. The postal author- ities announced that no mails were being sent out over the Lake Shore and Michigan Central. MR. POWDERLY HAS HEARD NOTHING. Scnaxtox, Pa., August 11.—-General Master Workman Powder!ly, in an interview last night, said he had received no word whatever from the seat of the strike. The general executive ‘vill meet in Detroit Wednesday. He feels cer- tain the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will cast its fortunes with the Knights of Labor if such action is deemed necessary. NO STRIKE ON THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL. Curcaco, August 11.—The strike on the New York Central railroad has not extended to the Michigan Central and Lake Shore roads, as was announced would be the case in New York dis- patches last night, The manegement of these roads sny they do not anticipate any trouble. THE ENGINEERS NOT IN IT, Tenre Havre, Ixp., August 11.—Grand Master Sargeant of the Brotherhood of Leco- motive Firemen received many telegrams from the New York Central strikers yesterday, ask- ing him to come east, but he declined to’ take any official action in regard to the strike, eay- ing that the brotherhood was not consulted in its inception and was not called upon to use unusual weans of settling grievances with rail- road companies. FROM VARIOUS POINTS. Tror, N. Y., August 11.—Absolute quiet marks the progress of the strike in Troy. Trains are running in and out of the Union ba regularly, and the places of the forty switchmen, flagmen and trackmen who left Saturday night are being filled as rapidly as possible. Fifty Pinkerton men a?rived this morn- ing and are scattered along the tracke. There is not the slightest necessity tor their pres- ence and they are likely to excite trouble. Freight trains are motionless in the yurds of the Central Hudson, but the Fitchburg Com- ny is mecting with no difficulty in moving Bou freight and passenger traffic. Not more than half a hundred persons are hanging around the depot and the strikersare not mo- lesting any of the new hands. Rome. N.Y., August 11.—The Knights of La- bor employed by the Central in this city have all goue out. No work is being done here. AN trains passing this station are several hours behind time. BITTER AGAINST THE PINKERTON MEN. Auuany, N. Y., Angust IL At1 o'clock this afternoon Superintenden Bissell said: The statement that firemen here or at Schenectaday hare gone out is untrucy Not one fireman has left the road and we are not afraid they will. The strikera have appointed a committee to wait upon the chief of police and sheriff and ask that the Pinkerton men be driven out of the city. They claim that the men have no right under the ordinance to carry weapons or do police duty. The feeling of the police is very stroug against the Pinkerton men, and the chief of lice, be- lieving his force is sufficient to quell any — disturbance, . will refuse to swear them in as specials, A prominent police officinl here says that some of the Pinkerton men are men whose portraits are in the rogue gallery here. ‘Tho arrival of the freight trains from New York is anxiously looked for here. The freight bridge is block- aded and the is open, but it'may be the intention to bri them over the passenger bridge. CARDINAL NEWMAN ILL.

A Steamer Fast on Kock in the St. Lawrence Rapids. Mowrnzat, Quz., August 11.—As the steamer Bohemia, carrying nearly 1,000 Grand Army men and their families, en route to Boston, en- tered the Cedar Rapids, about forty miles from Montreal, Saturday a great crowd of excursion- ists thronged on the hurricane deck to geta good view of the novel experience of running through the rapids. The deck of the steamer was, however, too weak to stand the strain of the great crowd, and a portion of it giving away about 100 of the excursionists came crashing down on the deck below, and so great was the confusion that the men at the wheel seemed to have lost their heads, for the next instaut after the crash all control of the boat was lost, and swinging out of the regular channel it struck a rock and remained bard and fart on it, A panic immedi- ately ensued ca board. A rush was mado for the fife-preservers, women fainted, clothes were torn andall on board were mure or less cut and bruised. Finally order was restored and a boat sent ashore and word of the accident telegraphed to Montreal. Another boat was sent to the scene, but the terror-stricken excur- sionist refused to go on her and demanded they be bronght to Montreal, which was done, and the excursionists reached here early yesterday morning. —_——.

THE MOTION TO TABLE THE MOTION TO RECOR- SIDER LOST—A PROTEST AGAINST GIVING ALL THE DISTRICT'S TIME TO THE RAILROAD—THE MATTER TAKEN UP LATE Topar, By the rules of the Honse today was to be given up to the consideration of Distriet affairs, and as usual the Pennsylvania railroad Dilleame first in the bills to be considered. The question of a quorum was of importance, however. Up to the hour of meeting it did not look as if it would be possible to obtain a quorum. The big Pennsylvania rail- road lobby, however, was on hand as usual, and its members were buzzing around as if it was a matter of life and d that every member on the floor should be seen. When the House met at 12 o'clock there were @ good many members present and the pros- pects of a quorum seemed brighter. ‘Mr. Rogers occupied considerable time after the journal had been read in an attempt to cor- rect that interesting record. During the roll call on his question some little things occurred that seemed to point to the District having trouble in getting its day even if a quorum should be found, Mr. Cannon appeared with a firm look anda big appropriation bill, and it looked as if he in- tended to contest with the District committee i honor of occupying the attention of the louse, MR. CANNON GETS THE FLOOR, The vote on the approval of the journal dis- closed the presence of a quorum, but this fact dia not help the District much, as Mr. Cannon immediately gained the flooPand called up the conference report on the sundry civil appropri- ation bill, which isa privileged report. After & littie discussion it was decided that one hour should be given up for debate on this report, and with that understanding District business was laid aside. THE ATKINSON BILL CALLED UP. It was 2:20 when the report on the sundry civil bill was passed, and Mr, Atkinson ob- tained the floor for District diils, The pending motion, he said, was to Jay on the table the motion to reconsider the yote by which the Atkinson bill was sent back to the committee, Mr. Milliken made the point of consideration saying it was about time the District of Columbia had a day and the Pennsylvania railroad ceased absorbing time. ‘The Speaker ruled the question out of order anda roll call was ordered on the motion to lay on the table the motion to recommit, THE MOTION Lost. The roll call resulted—ayes, 55; noes, 113, Tho motion was therefore lost and the question recurred on the question of reconsideration. The yeas and nays were ordered on the ques- tion of reconsideration, previous to which Mr. Conger ordered the reading of the motion to recommit, which was agreed to after which the roll call was proceeded with, GUARDING RAILROAD OROSSINGS. The Commissioners Empowered to Re- quire the Erection of Gates. The many complaints received by the Com- missioners agaiust unguarded crossings were recently refereed to the attorney for the District with the request that he report as to the Commissioners’ power to compel a railroad company to erect gates and to require watchmen to be stationed at such crossings, To settle the question the case of the cross- ing at 6th and I streets northeast was selected as a test case. Mr. Thomas says: “As to the question whether you have the power to order a gute erected at this crossing aud to require the company to. stati a watchman there, Congress has delegated the cure and management of the streets and avenues of this city to your keeping, but with no specific authority to make regulations requiring the several steam railroads to erect gates and station watchmen at their stgeet crossings. By virtue of the police power, however, you have authority to make all such reasonable regulations as to gates at railway crossings as may be necessary for the protection of citizens and their prop- erty. If, therefore, in your judgment the cross- ing in question is dangerous to life and limb then in the exercise of the police power of the corporation you may pass un order requiring the company to erect gates aud station a watch- man on the crossing.” oe WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

The Defence in the Guy Case Closed Today. TESTIMONY TO SHOW THAT ARNOLD HAS BEEN ‘VISITING BURGESS—THE PROSECUTION PRODUCE EVIDENCE OF BURGESS’ GOOD REPUTATION— ALL THE EVIDENCE To BE IX BY TOMORROW. ‘The trial of Lieut. Guy of the third precinct was resumed before the District Commissioners in the board room at the District building at 1 o'clock this afternoon. When the case ad- journed Saturday it was understood that today was to be the last for hearing the testimony for the defense, and consid- erable interest was aroused, as it was expected that Talty, the man whose name has figured so prominently throughout this case, would be on hand to deny the testimony that he had leftan envelope containing @20 for Guy asa bribe, Talty has not been seen around before and Mr. Claughton stated Satur- day that he was inet heard from in Buffalo, bul that it w: thought that he would be here today. It was generally understood that he was in town this morning, and it was stated that he had been seen around police headquarters in conversation with some of those most interested in the case, While waiting for Col. Robert to appear Mr. Hazelton remarked to Mr. Claughton that tho audiences scemed to be getting smaller and that it must be the fault of one or other of them that they could not keep up the interest that was shown in the case when it was somewhere nearer being new. It is « fact that the audiences are gradually dwin- ding in size, as few new faces appear to take the place of the familiar ones that have passed away. The crowd today was made up almost entirely of interested people, who have made it a point not to miss a single hearing if it could possibly be helped, MR, TALTY APPEARS, As was expected Mr. Juno, E. Talty was first called to the witness chair. He was first asked if he knew Atchison, the witness who testified to his leaving the money for Guy. He eaid he knew him, but he denied point blank all the story about his ever ing left any money for Lieut. Guy nor had he ever had any financial transactions of any sort with Guy. That was all of his testimony, but it was oe in the case in hand. hen asked by Mr. Hazelton what business he had been in at the time this occurrence is said to have taken place Mr. Talty said that he did not think it had anything to do with the case and he must declize to furnish the infor- mation, GOT HIM TO THE STICKING POINT. Mr. Wm. P. Wood was next called to testify with reference to some conversations ex-Licut, Arnold is said to have had with him about Atchison’s testimony. Mr. Wood stated that in effect Arnold had said to him that he had got Atchison “up to the sticking point” to testify against Guy. ARNOLD AND BURGESS, John Kenzie, who lives across the street from Sergt. Burgess, testified that at least a half dozen times in the last few weeks Arnold had come to Burgess’ house and had then gone off up Iith street in earnest conversation with him, John Umpleby, who also lives near Burgess. gave testimony about secing him and Arnold together twice last week. John W. Leslie, who lives at 409 1ith street southwest, diagonally across from Burgess’ house, also testified to seeing Arnold and Bur- gess together twice recently. Arnold would come to Burgess’ house aud apparently sum- mon him out, for the two usually went. off in company. THE DEFENSE CLOSED. This closed the evidence for the defense, but Mr. Claughton made the request that the record of the trial of ex-Lieut. Arnold should be placed on record in this case. GUY'S INDORSEMENT OF BURGESS, Mr. Sylvester, property clerk at the police headquarters, was called and recognized a paper which Mr. Hazelton said he could put in evidence. It was aletter from Guy to Major Dyo dated in 1885, recommending Acting Sergeant Burgess for promotion to the rank of sergeant, and recommending him as a faithful and diligent officer. REPORTING HIS OWN TZSTIMONY. Mr. Edwin Forrest, the stenographer in this trial and also in the Arnold trial, w: ied to recognize the record in the Arnold trial, This made things lively for Mr. Forrest, for he bad to keep track of the questions asked him, answer them and make a record of his own answers all at the same time. But le agreat success of it all, He recog- nized the record of the testimony that Licus Guy had given in the Arnold trial, NEVER HEARD ANYTHING AGAINST BURGESS, Mr. B. B. Earnshaw, 1021 M strect southeast. was called by Mr. Hazelton to testify to Ser- geant Bargoss’ character and general reputa- tion, He stated that he had lived in his pres- ent locality since 1863and had known Burgess for a long time intimately and never heard any one say anything against Burgess’ reputation for truth and veracity. Mr. Douglass remarked that this was the highest tesumony that could be given abouta man, for the world always speaks very freely of a man when his reputa- tion is at stake. When questioned by Mr. Claughton the witness stated that Burgess’ brother-in-law was at one time a partuer with himeelf in the grocery business, but Mr. Hazel- ton insisted that there was nothing in that to impeach the witness’ testimony. DISCUSSING MATTERS, A little delay was here caused by the non-nt- tendance of some of the district-attorney’s wit- nesses, but they were all telephoned for, and while the court was waiting their arrival the Commissioners and lawyers discussed the pro- grees of the trial and the matter of taking testi- mony. understanding that a copy of the testimony was to be furnished to Lieut. Guy, but much to his surprise it bad developed that they were expected to pay for it themselves, If this was the case hoe was afraid his client, who is nota rich man, would have to go without a copy of the testimony. No particular conclusion was arrived at in the matter, however, THE SHURLAND RECORD. James A. Kemp, the stenographer whé re- ported the Shurland trial, was next called by the District. He recognized the record of the trial asthe one he made at the time of the trial in 188%, He verified the record of Maddox's testimony in that case, this record having been placed in evidence in this case. MORE ABOUT BURGESS, RB. J. Earnshaw, a flour and feed merchant, stated that he knew Sergt. Burgess and know his reputation for truth and veracity to be most excellent. He had never heard any one speak against him, although he had known him well since 1870. Mr. Hazelton stated that Mr. Joseph Gawler, Dr. Kleinschmidt and Mr. Louis D. Wine had been subponaed to testify to Burgess’ char- acter, but that they had failed to show up. RESIGNED AND DID NOT TESTIFY. Henry M. Wilkerson, station keeper at No. 4 precinct station house, was also wanted, but Mr. Douglass said that Wilkerson had sent in his resignation this morning and had failed to put inan appearance at the trial. Col. Robert stated to aStan reporter that he would not sign the acceptance of the resignation, as he did not intend to have men forced off the police force just because they were compelled to tes- tify in this case against Guy. A CHEERFUL Jest, ‘Mr. Gawler had come in by this time and was sworn by Mr. Douglass. “What is your business, Mr. Gawler?” Mr. Hazelton asked, “I am an undertaker, sir, and I the last man you will ever care to employ in a business capacity.” He knew Bur; dot him, an goo.

THK KIGHT-STORY POST OFFICE. Mr. Cannon Explains the Matter to the House Today. In the debate on the sundry civil conference report today Mr. Cannon made considerable of aspeech on the city post office. Mr. Cannon said that the committee had reported for a building of eight stories, as the sddi- tions could be made at a cost of £200,000 @ story and the additional room could be made of the very greatest use. The first story being given up tothe uses of the city post office the other seven stories would accommodate over 8,500 clerks beside affording a large amount of room for the storage of pa- ers, &c. ‘The building atthe price of £1,900,- would be «substantial structure with the architectural effect necessary to make a more thar. creditable building. Mr. Rogers asked if it would not be a benefit and add to the beauty of the building to add two or three stories to the general post office building. Mr. Cannon said that if the founda- tion was strong enough he would favor the ad- dition of even four stories to this building. Mr. Milliken said that the matter of the foundation of the general post oftice had been considered by the committee on public buildings and grounds and it was learned from the _ officials that this foundation was one.of the strongest in the city and amply sufficient to bear up even four additional stories.

He gazed off over the water toward Bermuda, He saw the benutiful secnery in the background, the new barracks in the fore- ground, the bright blue sky and fleecy clouds overhead, the rolling water tbelow; he felt the cool breeze and wondered if exile under these circumstances was not better than soldicring im hot. foggy London.

One oid guard who has sce: about t service many in London. he said, “wo were worm out; completely Legg and exbansted, ye | know, and we wasn’t abic to do the duty as was | expected of us. Then one five day, as probably | you have heard of, we getsan order to turn out on parade. Now, it was a great unneces- sary parade ang we wasn't able to do it, we was | all that dead beat out, and we wouldn't go out, and there's yer mutiny, We was put down ab mutinecrs and sent off on foreign service.” 4 | “Our action in Wellin'ton Barracks was | fiuble,” said another, “and we hopes it will make things easier for the others as are left beind us in Lon’on and who is in sympathy with us. If our old Col. Trotter had « been in command there wouldn't ha’ been auy trouble, Ii our present colonel, instead of old “Hog” Maitland, had been commanding we'd ha’ still been in Lon'on.” “How does London duty compare with the duty you expect to do here?” “Orful, ortul! Here we expect to do reg'lar duty, but the country’s fine and we can stand it. In Lon’on it was simply orful. We had guard and picket daty, and we ouly gets two nights in bed a week, and the weather is "orrible.” The women and children who accompany the battalion are simply wild with delight over the change and anticipate the two happiest years of their lives here in Bermuda, eee Range of the Thermometer Today.
