WHO BTECCK THTJHSDAI IS CHICAGO STILL
DETERMINED NOT TO OO TO WORK.
By Telegraph to the News and Observer.
' Chicago, March 30. The switch
men, engipeers and firemen who
struck yesterday assembled at the
yards at Western Avenue and Kinzie
street this morning, but none of them
went to work. Passenger trains were
moving, but the freight business was
tied up and not a yard engine was
moving. The men stood abput in
crowds' and had many sympathizers
with them. There was no effort on
the part of the police in the yards to
disperse them. They were reticent
and refused to talk of their action or
outline their demands, but were
unanimous in their determination not
to go tp work.
:The decision of the Bwitcbmen at
their meeting yesterday to enforce a
rigid boycott on "Q" cars will involve
any amount of complications. The
idea, as explained by J. A. Hall,
chairman, is something like this: "Q"
cars will be switched back and forth
in each of the different yards as often
and to whatever point in the yards
the companies may desire. But the
aeers will decline to pnt
their. engines to draw them
out and if -4Q" cars should perchance
pucceed in penetrating into the yards
with any of its new engineers, then
the switchmen will decline to turn
the Bwitches.- The freight delivered
by the' MQ" to other road 3 will like
wise be refused, first by switchmen,
who will decline to turn switches and
attend to trains, on the ground that
their Uvea are endangered by the new
engineers incompetency. The new
scheme has been thoroughly formu
lated, and will be systematically car
ried out The statement that Chicago
might yet be shut off entirely inside
of a lew days may be now in a fair
way of realization. The assistant
yard-masters of the "Q" road have
also followed the striking switchmen.
UI lb working in the yards,
only two of them have remained
in the service of the company.
Four night . yard-masters, the
strikers claim, also quit work.
Ninety -eight switchmen from the
Beading road arrived in the city last
evening over the Fort Wayne road.
They were not intercepted by a dele-
fition of striking switchmen some
istance, oat as was intimated would
be iif case, and were not "given the
alternative of returning east or en
gaging in acUve warfare with the
strikers. They were taken to the
Briggs House and encountered sev
eral strikers at the entrance of the
hotel.- The new arrivals were warned
not to go to work on the "Q" and
a quarrel resulted in which the Head
ing men drew revolvers and declared
that they would protect themselves
if interfered with. They left the
hotel this morning at 9 o'clock and
were escorted by Pinkerton men to
the "Q" yards. Twenty-seven more
switchmen from the East arrived this
morning, making 125 that reached
here last evening and this morning.
The men who struck last evening em
braced 24 switching crews of 5 men
each, a total of 120 men, as the direct
and immediate consequence, of the
strike. The entire night i freight
traffic, both through and local, was
completely suspended. The freight
trains had been made up and have
been sent west. The passenger en
gineers were with difficulty restrained
from striking. The leading spirits
among the strikers decided not to in
terfere with passenger trains, at least
not" until this morning. The St
jraui ana uouncii iiiuns express
trams departed on schedule time
"This trouble has been brewing for
three weeks" said Dougherty late
ltfst evening. "We have reason to be
lieve in fact we know that the St.
Paul has been aiding the 'Q' from
the start. '
If we thought that the handling of
their few cats would end this I med
dling with 'Q' freight we would offer
no objection. The line had to ba
drawn' somewheie and we have drawn
it. The 'Q' engineers now on strike
will be supported to the full extent
of all our resources and we have not
yet commenced." "The company in
tends to stand by trie ultimatum sub
mitted tonight," said Superintendent
Earllng. 'The men will be u'lowed
I to return to work only' on condition
I that thoy repair to the best of their
ability the damage they have done.
That is bU I desire to any now."'
"Will they be compelled to handle
'Q' freight; in tho future ?''
"I do not care to anafter that ques
tion. Thd company will carefully
consider the situation."
The strikers held a big meeting in
a hall adjscoht to the round house.
They were enthusiastic in the posi
tion they have taken.
PREPABISO FOE AST TROUBLE.

contingencies that may ariso out of
the railroad troubles are being pre
pared for by Chief of Police Hub
bard Additional men arc patrolling

Hariigan Jerry Dougherty, an en
gineer, p.ct-cd as epckesui'ii for the
men. Earjing stated 'ho case briefly,
as he understood it, and then said :
"We havo submitted to many
acts that we have considered
unjustifiable on jour part. This af
ternoon the men iu our employ de
liberately ; derailed and wrecked a
number of; cars that are our property.
In addition to that they ansaulted and
beat Superintendent 15estler, of the
Burlington railroad. This is inex
cusable. Te will consent to overlook
this and you can go to work, but the
nrst work that is done will ba to re
place those cars on the track and put
them on the track where they belong."
"Never! never!" shouted a score of
voices. ;
A hot discussion followed. Dough
erty claimed that the men were not
responsible for the condition of the
carp.
"As an engineman,", asked Earling,
"will you f olunteer to place that tra'n
where it belongs?
"No. I will do nothing of the kind,"
said Dougherty. "The St. Paul road
has attempted this as a feeler ar.d I
hope thej are satisfied. We will

that these happen to ba your cars

A Mining Horror.
By Telegraph to the News and observer.
Kansas City, March 30. From
many contradictory dispatches from
Rich Hill it appears that when the
mine explosion occurred yesterday
35 miners were in the Bhaft. Had it
-occurred a few 'minutes sooner 100
would have been in peril and out of
this grew the reports that 100 were
actually m tho mine. Immediate
steps were taken to rercue the min
ers. as soon as it was sale to do so
and the fife resulting from the explo
sion had been subdued the rescuing
party descended in the shaft. They
had scarcely got to work when anoth
er explosion occurred and tho would
be rescuers narrowly escaped
with their- lives. One of these was
Geo. W. Sweeney.MBuperintendent of
the mine, 'and he was badly burned
about the hands and face. The work
of rescuing; was delayed for many
hours.. The cries of the imprisoned
men could be heard but they grew
fainter and fainter and by nine o'clock
ceased altogether,
been taken. : One
Five bodies have
man escaped un
hurt and fourteen injured men have
been rescued. Most of them are in
danger of their lives. Fifteen now
remain in. the mine, being in the west
end. It is believed that most cf them
will be taken out dead. Work is pro
ceeding very slowly, being attended
with great idanger. Ihere is no tx
planation of the cause of the explo
sion. The mine is a new one and was
supposed to be entirely safe. It em
ployed 115 men, most of the miners
being negroes.
"The .following was telegraphed from
Rich Hilt Thursday night: "About -1
o'clock this afternoon there was a
rumbling sound in mine No. 8, at this
place, and a moment afterward a fear
ful expldsidn, that entirely wrecked
the miner and buried in the debris
over a hundred miners, who were cut
off from all means of escape.

The, grand jury yesteiday brought
in three true bills of indictment for

Cross! ;
Mr! D' .i. Graves, of SmithfielJ, in
whose name a check was forged for
$6250, arrived here Thursday even
ing and laid the matter before the
grand jujry. The proceedings were,
however,! kept secret.
Mayors Thompson was, in the
meaatimi?, in correspondence by
wire wih the chief constable of
Toronto -and had all things in readi
ness to bjave the forgers "nabbed" as
soon anf there was reasonable 6v;
dance thjjit they had been guilty cf
forgery. The grand jury on yester
day morning reported three
felLLS OF INDICTMENT.
It has jbeen reported that Mr. Cross
was the 0Dly one, of tho two who had
commit d forgery, but this is ad
error, tM Mr. White is equally as
much 'nvolvedi The first in

are Mossirs. Jordan Womble, Jr., S.

ARRIVAL OF JOHS GRIFFITH.
Chief Police Hear't was advised
yesterday by a telegram from a gen
tleman oh the tram from the west,
which is due here at 2-10 p. m., that
John Griffith, the colored janitor who
accompanied Mossrs. White and Cross,
was on tpe train coming to Raleigh.
The news of John's expected return
rapidly spread ahd by the hour for
the arrival of the train a large num
ber had: collected at the depot to
witness the sight of the janitor's ro
turn. A3 soon as the train pulled up
John was seen standing on the plat
form and was immediately recognized
and hailed by tho crowd. He wore a
new suit of clothes and new shoes
and altogether presented the appear
ance of f a dude. He was taken
charge pf by officers Woodall and
Jones arid escorted up into the city
followed by the crowd. He remarked
on the way that when he went to the
depot "he rode in a carriage." John
was takan to the sta'ion house where
he was held for a while till his bond
for his appearance as a wituess was
given by Mr. Hal M. Worth, when he
was liberated.
!"THE POSTER'S STORY.
Whila at the station our reporter
had a conversation with Griffith and
received from him a full history of
the tripto Toronto. He states that
he was told by both Messrs. White
and Cross on the Saturday evening of
the departure that they were going
to Chapel Hill and that they wanted
him to; accompany them. He was
not told till a short time before train
time that he was wanted to go and
when asked by some one at the back
why he 'was "dressad up" he replied
that ho jwas "going eff with the boss."
John jsays lio did not know where
Chapvl Hill was. and did not know
wL'.'U they passed tho junction at
University Station and thought
nothing straDge of his bosses
not getiing off. When they arrived
at Greensboro, however, ana changed
car?, he began to wonder what the
niysteiibus piece of business meant.
After leaving Greensboro he asked
where tjiey were going and was told
by Mr. Cross that he and Mr. White
were gding on a little pleasure; trip
and would see. to it that good care
was taken of him. John was still
uneasy however, and about tho time
they reached Washington said he
didn't frant to go any further. He
was assured that everything was all
right and persuaded to go on, but
about tie time New York m reached
the thought occurred to him in all its
overpowering terror that he was be
ing carried to a "s'rauge country to
be sold '" It was then that John's
eyes began to dilate and bis hair to
stund n end. He interviewed a po
liceman during the short stay which
was mane inrow iorK ana recited nis
troubles to him. He says he told the
poiieetimi that he was traveling with
a bani president and cashier from
North j Carolina and did not know
whero ihey were taking him to, and
that hje wanted to go back home.
Thojpoliceman told him he thought
it would b? all risht and advi?ed him
to go on. He did so, he says, against j
his judgment, and on Mon'ay morn- ;
ing they arrived at Toronto. Ho !

about what had happened, and
neither of thorn seemed to be enjoy

John states that he did not at any
time see either of the gentlemen have 1
any large amount of money. He
says they never seemed to have more ,
than was necessary to pay their ex
penses as they went.
Oa Wednesday morning John in
formed his masters that he was going
home if he had to walk, that the Can
ada climate was too cold for him and
that ho wauted to be back in North
Carolina again. Finding that he was
determined to return h9 says they

TnE EXTRADITION.
In regard to extradition as that
is a matter arising under treaties be
tween nations, so the mode of
procedure in this caso is governed
also by the terms of the treaty.
Su'ictly the procedure, we believe, is
for tho Secretary of State of the
United State to mako demand or re
quisition on tho Secretary of Stale of
Canada for the capture and detention
and extradition of an oS'otider. But
the strict letter of tho treaty is not
always observed; and in an ordinary
caso wh&re a citizen of the United
S ates flees to Canadi and satisfac
tory cvidenco is laid before the Sec
retary of State of Canada or the law
officer representing that functionary
) hat an extraditable effence has been
committed by the party charged, an
order is made to deliver the culprit
up to some officer duly authorized to
receive him, and carry him back into
the United States for trial for that
offence.
It may happen that the person
arrested may deny either his identity
with the alleged culprit, or that he
was concerned in tho offence, or that
the offence imputed to him is one for
which extradition is allowed under
the treaty. Iu such event he pro
cures a writ of habeas corpus, wn ch
is heard by some judge in Canada,
who examines into the matter with
some particularity, and if the matter
be found against the prisoner he is
remanded into the custody of the
officer and sent back. It is for this
reason that Mr. Jordan Womble, Jr.,
the teller of the bank, and Mr. D. H
Graves, one of those whoae name was
forged, have gone to Canada. They
will be able to show the offence, to
identify the persons and to establish
their connection Vith the crime.
itus maEes tne r probabie con
viction apparent, on the true bills
found by tho grand jury, copies of
which are also to be exhibited.
Our understanding is that the prison
ers then can only tbe tried here at
home on these true bills so exhibited
in Canada and other bills of like
ture.
na-
it seems that Uiere are only six
offences for which a criminal can be
extradited under the treaty with
Great Britain, towit: murder, assault
to commit murder, piracy, arson, rob
btry and forgery. It is doubtful
whether these men have committed
an offence which under the United
States Banking law, is punishable in
the Federal court and which is extra
ditable. If not they can be tried
only in the State court.
It is probable from' Mr. White's
telegram to Chief of Police Heartt,
that no tiabeas corpus' wiM be sued
out but that the criminals will but
render without making any of the
law's delays.Tn that case they will be
here next ednesday ana as soon as
the libel cases brought Jby Mr. Stone
against Messrs. nearn ana uaston are
finished, the cases of State vs. Cross
andiWhite will be called. They will be
tried next week.
The first embezzling cashier to run
to Canada, that we ever heard of, was
one from the Albemarle region, along
about 1833, we think.
Tba was fifty years ago May it
bo fifty hence before we have another.
When the wanderers return next
week, they will be leceived with
mingled sadness and satisfaction. To
some extent the human sympathies
of ther former friends and associates
will bo enlisted but the public sen
timent will be a healthy one; its tone
will be firm and decided. The law
will be vindicated not with furious
anger, but sternly and justly and rig
orously. The scales? of justice .will
be unbalanced neither by pity nor by
fury. The public must in self-de-ft'uce
promote, manifest and require
rigorous and exact justice.
THE FORGING.

Tho earliest d ito tbat is knon
when a note, was forjJ id when
the r.oto of Mr. D. H- Graven of
March G was forged ayd put among
tho.assets of tho bank as so much
good paper.
The next found is that of Mr.
Willi , Avera, dated March 7, he hav-ii-.g
then been dead six weeks or more.
A note of the sams date was
f" i,ed for !G,000 with the name of
i- F. B. Dancy and a forged en-
ctrJifut of Mr. Jam Moore, and
a note was deposited for re dis-
count in New York.
It is stated that Mr. Cross lias
name in one or E
two instances.
It is probabio that there have been
other cases of forgery, but as yet no
otheri have been made definitely cer

pretty scared. H?! said, I asked a man
what kind of country that was
where t'he-ae men were tarrying
me. Ho asked mo what men,
and I said 4 th , men in th.i car;
and In asked who tuey were,
and I to'd him one waa tho president
of a bauk and tho other was a cashior;
and the. men laughed and said that
wa,s all right i hay ain't a-going to
sell you; that they travelled all night,
and came to a place whore the water
was a-roanng, and aloDg cane a man
through tho train and cried out 'bag
gage' and made mo open tho valises
tnd sling around tha cloth: s till I
thought the devil was to ray shore
enough. They searched Mr. Cross'
but not Mr. hire s.
"They were a-drinkiDg all tue wav.
When they got io Toronto, where
they stopped, I just m xed toddies
for them. And then Mr. While said
to Mr. Cross, as they lay on the bed,
that he expected they had b-tter tell
me all about it, and be said yea; and
Mr. White then told me thai the bauk
was broke and they had to loive and
go to Canada, and they wa'nt coming
home anymore. ,
After being released John paid a
visit to Mrs. White and Mrs. Cross.
