Buffalo, N. Y.,1 Aug. 16. The first
dispatches sent out from here yesterday
legarding. the. deviliBh work of the
strikers, wasA tame affair. They set
the fires which destroyed more than 200
loaded cuts, at 2 a. m.- yesterday. ' They
turned the switches which threw
passenger coaches off the track at great
Ions of property, and the imminent peril
of life; they clubbed and 6andbagged
non-union men wherever found ; they
stole all the switch-lights on the Erie
between Smith street and the Western
New York and Pennsylvania target, and
the switches could not be seen in the
darkness. A .wrecking train left this
city to bring the passengers from Erie,
train on the other side of the fire, and
Lehigh train from Philadelphia. The
trains were both late asthey reached the
city, and were thrown" from the rail9 by
the turning of the switches. A. 2:45
o'clock the Erie' passengers were brought
into the city, tired and disgusted. -They
were not molested by strikers, but the
ladies and children were considerably
frightened by the rioting and fires of the
freight-cars. Lehigh Valley train ar
rived nt Erie station at 3 a. m. . It lay at
Williams street five hours. The strikers
had an impression that'' an extra train
which was filled with actors, was carry
ing trainmen to take the places of the
strikers.. The strikers searched it, but,
failing to find any . non-union men, they
withdrew without injuring anybody.
Members of the-- theatrical company
stated that the confusion and the fire
just beyond Williams street was appall
ing around the burning cars.' The
strikers and their sympathizers were en
joying the result of their lawless work.
Perched high on box cars, they smoked
and jeered at the railroad men working
at the blazing wrecks.' At 4:45 a.m.
the situation was improved somewhat
and the prospect favorable for car
passage. . '
Freight Conductor Martin Nevils, of
the Erie, died this morning from the re
sult of his injuries. Nevils was hit on
the head, it was supposed, with aluujr
shot. Union men were assaulted where
ever found. The Lehigh Valley lost
seventeen cars, and the Erie twenty-four.
Railroad men are unable at present to
fix an estimate of the loss. A claim will
be made against the city and county for
damages, and the amount, of course, has
not yet been figured up. Forty-seven
special deputy sheriffs left for Checktow
aga and more will be eent out during the
afternoon. If the sheriff finds he can
not enforce order he will appeal to the
government for military aid. The strike
has spread to Waverly, and will probably
go to Ilornellsville and Bradford where
the switchmen are disatisfied." It will
not spread to any others in Buffalo, be
cause, "Grand Master Sweeney" . says :
"We have come to an agreement with
the Western New York and Pennsyl
vania' on a 10-hour basis, and will have
no trouble with that road. A confer
ence with the general superintendent of
the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg
has been arranged for today.- I expect
a settlement also to be made with thai
road." Sweeney claims that the Erie
and Lehigh switchmen have, been
treated badly, their advances . being
spurned by those in high .authority, and
offers an apology - for the unions, at
whose secret meetings the incendiarism
was enthused; by emphatically con
demning the acts of lawlessness, and
stating that it was the work of irrespon
sible individuals who could not be con
trolled, and not of the strikers. .. In the
rains of one of the cars burned ,ast night
the police have lound the remains of an
empty kerosene can, showing the, man
ner in which the fire was' started by
incendiaries:" ' The car department
claims the work of the men at the
freight-car department was much im
peded by the cutting of hose by un
known parties. ' Twelve lengths of hose
were cut and rendered useless during
the night. It is estimated that from
100 to 200 cars were destroyed ' by tho
incendiaries. ,
-' " Waste af Salmon. -
Astorian. A letter from The Dalles in
the Oregonian refers tothe waste of sal
mon at the .locks which The Astorian
mentioned at the time. Adds-:- "I
would like to have a few words so say in
regard to the', method - of taking the
royal chinoot, the" kiug of all fish. . I
think precisely like the' governor - does,
if fishwheels and trnps are not done
away with immediately, the fish indus
try of Oregon will be a thing of the past,
and that in a very few years. I have
liyed.in , The Dalles lor- a number of
years, and in the past four or five years
ha ve noticed tho salmon getting . fewer
each year, and more wheels being built
each winter, fhavo read; the laws of
Oregon on taking salmon, and as it is so
strict against foreigners engaged in such,
why are the half dozen Chinamen a few
miles above The Dalles, allowed to own
and operate a fish wheel unmolested?
Where are tho fish commissioners' eyes? j
Of course Chinamen will engage in any j
business where there is the color of a j
dollar in sight. I say, "down with the
fish-wheels and traps, and let the state
set a fair price on the cost of building '
such wheels and traps, and pull them
out of the river, and give the. salmon a
chance to increase as of old. Seines and
gill nets are the only true ways of fish
ing." -
Lost Art Discovered.
Quebec Press. One of the most won
derful discoveries of recent years Is that
made by a blacksmith of-this city, Fer
dinand Allard. It is the long lost art of
hardening copper axes and other edged
tools made of hardened copper. These,
which are exhibited by him, rival the
best steel of the present day. . A piece
of. Allard's prepared copper has -been
-tested at the government rifle ranges.
A ehort was fired from forty "yards dis
tance and the bullet w'as shivered into a
thousand fragments. Another shot was
fired and the missile- striking ; more
equarely, -was completely flattened.
This is claimed by experts to be . vastly
superior to anything the best steel could
do under like circumstances, and " the
matter is to be brought .to the immedi
ate notice of the British lords of the
admiralty.
Law and Order Man.
Oregonian. John H. McGraw, re
publican ; candidate for governor of
.Washington, was sheriff at Seattle when
the lawless attempt to expel the Chinese
from .that place was made. . He did his
duty in suppression of riot and enforce
ment of law and order a fac t which
shows that he would make a good gover
nor. But it is just a bit dangerous to
nominate such a man, or a man with
such a record, in a country where - the
suffrage is in the hands of the great
numbers who detest those who would
put upon them the restraints of justice,
authority and law. ..
Better than a Libel Salt.
-
Review. The attention of belligerent
individuals who feel aggrieved over the
publication of personal articles in the
newspapers, is directed to the growing
custom of challenging the editor. A few
days ago the Marquis de Mores challeng
ed the editor of the Chicago Tribune and
now the editor of the Denver Republi
can has been called out by Dr. Carver,
the famous rifle shot. ' Jn some' respects
this is better than a libel suit. .,; The bel
ligerent receives quite as much notoriety
the editor is more badly frightened,
and attorney fees are saved. '
The Frohi. Combine.
Review. One by one the presidential
and vice presidential candidates are of
ficially notified.!' The last to receive this
startling bit of intelligence was the pro
hibition candidate for vice ' president,
who. appropriately enough lives in Texas.
With. Bidwell to fight the wine and
brandy interests in California, and Cran
11 to antagonize the' tarantula juice in
dustry in Texas, the prohibition party
ought to make decided advances this
fall. ' ' .

Commoner. It is said (hat Queen
Victoria takes great pleasure in garden
ing. She does not herself get down on
her hands and knees and dig and-pull
weeds, but sb'e walks -about and admires
those who are doing such work. '-If we

AX ALMOST FORGOTTEN CASE.
A Stern Fight Coming in Court Over
Two Wills of The Estate.
WHICH ONE IS THE IEGAI. BF.
Charges Dae to a Desire on the Fart or
Mrs. Duntoii'a Side to Secure the
Property. '
Chicago, Aug. 1G. When Dr. Henry
Martyn Scudder, Jr., died in his cell in " 1
the county jail last June, probably from
the effects of poison administered by his
own "Lend,- the public supposed that the
remarkable case would-sink into' ob-. -livion.
But the family of the dead man, -,
who so long as the prisoner lived said
nothing in his defense, have chosen now
to defend his memory. The first State
ment from the family is a long com-:
munication from a brother, Dr. Doremus
Scudder. . It is a remarkable production,
and states for the first time the views of
the nearest relativesxf the man who is .
generally believed to have murdered
Mrs. Dunton, his mother-in-law, to have
tried to poison Mr. Dunton and to have '
forged a will in order to .obtain posses
sion of the property of Mrs. Dunton. It
is u strange defense. Doremus says
Henry was insane before Mrs. Dunton's '
death and showed homicidal, and : sui- '
cidal tenddttcies, - He was- insane, after
her death, says this near; relative,
tried to kill his own father, and in all
probability deliberately poisoned him-
self.- Yet it is the claim of his family .',
that Henry Scudder did not kill Mrs.
Dunton, did not try to kill Mr. Dunton, -did
not forgo the will that is -believed to i,
be a forgery.- This will, Dr.' Doremus," :
eaye, is valid. . The charges against his
brother, he says, were due to the desire .
on the part of Mrs. .Dunton's relatives- '
to obtain Mrs. Dunton's property.-. But '
in making these harsh statements in re
gard to the mourning relatives ' of the "
dead woman what does Dr. Doremus.
Scudder reveal on the other side?' The ,
second -will, he says, is no forgery.
Therefore it is apparent that the first: '
document will be contested in the inter- .
ests of Mrs. Dora Scudder, -This is ren- '. "
dercd more certain by the silence of Dr ;
Doremus Scudder regarding the circum
stances surrounding the making of the ;
will or wills, and the attempt of Dr.
Henry Scudder to remove the tin box .
containing Mrs. Dunton's papers. '.. So it
is fair to conclude that a stern fight is
coming in court, over these two wills,,.
The strange case is yet full of interest
for the public. .
Billiard Tournament. ' -
Nfiw Yoak, Aug. 16. Billiard players
from all over the world are interested in
the great tournament in Paris, where,
Frank Ives., the young Balk line cham- t
pion of the world; ex-champion Jacob
Schaefer and George F. Slossen, the fa
mous "Student," are to try conclusions
with the French experts and with' one.
another. ' - .
' Parisians are great lovers of billiards;
Nearly every one plays well, and even ,
those who do not are very good judges of
the game. Very naturally all the French "
experts 'go to Paris, and at present
a formidable array, of famous players,
among them Vignaux, ... Gamier, Piat, ,
Gibelin, Coffart, Beau, Paige, Rudolphe,
Cure and Fournil, are in the French
metropolis to meet the Americans. : The -foremost
billiard player ifi "Trance, is "
Maurice Vignaux,- who is 50 years of age,
and the hero of many a remarkable game :
on the green table. He is equally strong
at balk line 'or cushion "caroms, ; and
Vigneaux'sAcademy, which is run in his ".
name, but is not his property, is prob
ably the most popular resort in Paris.
