The striking telegraph operators met
today, they numbered about 700 of
whom 60 were ladies. . The linemen
- who bad been brought into the city
last night by the W. U.Co, from Scran-
- ton. Pa, and New Jersey districts and
bad been captured by -the skirmishing
committee of the strikers were initla-i

A petition was received from the dis
tributing clerks of the Western Union
Company asking to be received into the
. ranks of the strikers. They, will be
' ; initiated today." They numbered about
40. fifteen boys and the rest girls. They
receive from 9 15 to 820 a month and
their work requires more than ordinary
skill and knowledge. i
It was said that letters had been re
ceived from many out of town opera-,
tors asking to be enrolled among the
inkers. - it was also said that Bev Mr
AliJ worth, a minuter of the Methodist
cbureb at Pamrapo. N J, who was once
in the employ of the company, had re-i
turned, and was now at a desk in the
" 1? estern Union office,
r , To-day the men formed in line and
paraded from their ball on the west
side-to a new and larger ball on the
east side of the city. There meeting
was held atr which it was stated that
eneouragtng news had been received
' from all over the country. It was said
that 23 linemen and 60 operators had
' jolted the ranks of the strikers yea ter
d ay. The sltnation in the Western
Union cflce Is apparently unchanged.
ri- Over 200 operators were at work and
none of them aaemed to be idle. Gene
ral Superintendent Merrihew said
everything wae encouraging and In
only a few cases was any delay in busi
ness reported. It was stated positively
that there aa not a , single dummy In
the room. Aixiut 25 Toung women were
there this morning waiting to be tested
and It was said tbat nose were engaged
a ii nJae tfcwy.werei competent to do the
"work. As general rule Mr Merrihew
r 1 said the new bands were much better
!.. bperatcra than they expected to be able
' to obtain, and the ranks were filling no1
rapidiy.' io-asy some or una new nanus
who are not rea aired at the main o&ce
are to be sent outof town to man some

to, the contrary. ,. AH . exchanges feel
moreor less the effects-of the strike.

caused much bitter complaint, At the

scarcely any to day. It . was thought
bere that at least JOO messages were Be
hind. The Postal telegraph company
has run wires - into jtbe produce ex
changeover which most of their reports
were received. f
Soma action may.be taken by the
board the first of next week unless the
difficulty is settled. A member of the
stock exchange said that the loss and
inconvenience to brokers and members
was much greater than ' they would ac
knowledge. He tbonghs the exchange
would quietly await results I and take
no action unless tne western 1 union
company did not do something to end
the strike. f
. The strike is not felt at the New
York Mining Stock and National Pe
troleum exchanges, as nearly all their
quotations are received over private
wires. At the Maritime exchange.
I'niiadeJpbta, tne wire is working all
right, but nothing is coming from Bal
timore or Waahington-and is the cause
of much - trouble in their commercial
business. In all the exchanges sympa
thy is expressed for the strikers and
hopes for. their success are beard on
every side. . f " "
TIIE POSITION OF THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO COM PANT.
i
. Baltthbue, July 21. The Baltimore
& Ohio Telegraph Company to-day
stated their, position in regard I to the
striae 01 tne telegrapn operators aa fol
lows: - . ' ...... 1
. They are willing and ready at any
moment -to-i hear. and treat with the
men in tbeir-own employ, and to con
cede most liberal terms, but tbey posi
tively decline.' and under no circum
stances will they treat with the com
mittee of the Brotherhood, nor any per
son not In their, employment. This
statement is made on the authority of
the officials ot tbo Telegraph Company.
Mr Stewart, superintendent of the com
pany, states that tbey 18 operators at
tables in the main office to-day t whom
six are accomplished and efficient men,
and the others can handle messages
satisfactorily; that the force in Chicago,
Cincinnati has been increased to-day at
each office, and their business is being
handled efficiently. A public meeting
to discuss the telegraph strike baa been
called by a committee of the Brother
hood of Telegraphers at Ford's opera
bouse . to-night. Prominent speakers
will address the meeting. So far the
meng who have gone out in this city
hsve conducted themselves in the most
orderly and quiet manner, and unques
tionably have the j sympathy' of the
public. . ; ).-..
The reports that come from Brooklyn,
N Y. Charleston. 8 C, Chicago, Ills.
Providence, R I. represent the strike as
spreading, and but few men at work,
picked up outside of the Brotherhood.
The ' reports from Brooklyn represent
the wires in a terrible condition. In
Chicago the reporters for the stock ex
change have,-joined -the strikers, and
hence no market reports from that
point.. The sympathies of 'the people
and stock exchange are with the
striken, who are determined and pre
pared for a long strike, unless conces
soins are made by the companies.

At the Mint street crossing of the
Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Bail
road yesterday, an absent minded col
ored man driving a blind mule, tried to
run over a freight train with disastrous
results. The darkey was driving along
humming to himalf, with his thoughts
perhaps a thousand miles away, neither
noticing the sightless mule, or the train
that was passing the street just ahead.
The first he knew of any thing unusual
having happened Was when be found
himself spinning around In the street
with pieces . of ' broken, harness and
wagon shafts falling about his head.
The unsuspecting mule had I walked
square - against the moving' train and
the effect was astonishing both to the
mule and driver. The mule was knock
ed aroundand utterly surprised. I For
ten minutes after the accident it kept
bobbing its head and dodging .about
and the driver, who tby the way, had
hardly recovered his senses, had to ex
ercise a great deal of caution in catch-
Ing It. After an hour spent in tying op
the harness and patching up the wagon.
the colored man pursued his journey,
and it is safe to say that he' will keep a
sharp lookout for railroad crossings
hereafter.

' A! new. but anticipated turn in tie
telegraphers' strike took: place In this
city j yesterday; afternoon, when the
doors of the Western Union office were
opened by two operators sent bere from
Virginia, who at once reported to Gen.
Eckert that they were ready for busi
ness. T Their names are Wm. Walstrum,
night chief of the Blchmond office, and
B. C Thompson, who comes from Old
Point, Va. The two men arrived on the
two o'clock train, and, after dining at
tbe 'J3oford House, went direct to the
office, where tbey found manager Den
nis waiting for them. Mr. Dennis turn
ed the office over to them;3 and, pulling
off their coats, ' tbey, went at once to
work. ; They were not interfered with
in tne least, bat a good deal of Indigna
tion -was expressed by our citizens
when it was found that the office had
been opened by imported men. Shortly
after they bad commenced work an in
dignant young man stepped into the
office bent on giving them a piece of his
mind, and possibly a small fight, but
was prevented by the striking operators
who were present. The young man in
dulged in some pretty strong Isnguage,
and told the two operators that he could
"whip them both, d n 'em. The in
terference of our home operators no
doubt prevented a ' scrimmage. This
wa the only bit of unpleasantness the
new operators experienced, and It was
forgotten in a ; short - time. ; Though
Charlotte Is now in telegraphic commu
nication with some points, and feels
partial relief from the strike, all is by
no means lovely for the Western Union,
and matters are daily growing more
serious for Mr. Eckert. Yesterday there
was a big stampede in New York, and
tbe strikers gained considerable ground.
as the following dispatch from Blch
mond, sent to parties in this city by the
Brotherhood agency indicates: j
"One thousand messenger boys struck
In New York at noon to-day. Tbe stock
reporters in New York and ; Chicago
joined therein. Business is paralyzed.
inree 01a men in wasningion: is ail
that is left to-day. Thirty-five men left
in .Baltimore. 11 is rumored taat the
Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company
effected a compromise wtth their opera
tors, we are every wnere gaining every
hour, and tbe chief operators are now
joining us. Gen. Eckert says the situa
tion is not so xavoraoie to-day.
The Charlotte cotton merchants yes
terday served notice on; the Western
Union Company, through its two opera
tors here, that they did not desire to
continue taking the'daily commercial
reports furnished by them, and, would
no longer nave them. The company
was notified to cease sending the re
ports. The sympathy of tbe community
is strongly with "the boys." and the
hope is almost unanimously expressed
that tbey will succeed in whipping out
the company. - . ,

Mr. J. M. Agerton's store was broken
open Friday nigbMnd $22.75 stolen out j
of his money drawer, all the money he
had taken in Friday except TO cents.
which he had in his pocket. Mr. Ager-
ton sleeps In the store room, and was
awake at twelve o'clock and talked
with the night watchman, at which
time everything was all right. Thurs
day night a burglar tried to enter a
dwelling house,but the watchman came
up before be succeeded in making his
entrance and emptied the contents of
bis faithful old musket in the burglar.
but did not kill him. The whole load
took effect in the burglar's body, and
blood marks made by the retreating
rascal were numerous. He was evident
ly very badly hurtnd it Is not thought
that he was the same who perpetrated
the robbery Friday night. Capt-Swltt,
the watchman, was in the suburbs of
town watching the movement of some
suspicious looking character. He
grata very much that he did not have a
chance of giving the coroner; some
work, having prepared his gun Friday
for business. ; The good people of Mat
thews have been ; greatly - annoyed of
late by incendiaries and burglars, and
for thelt own protection' have had the
town closely guarded at nights The
nightly watch kept by Capk Swltt has
had the effect to lessen the raids, and
by tbe time he plugs a few more of the
band the troubles will cease. One of the
band, a most desperate fellow, and one
whose stubborn fight in resisting arrest
has not yet been forgotten, by the' peo
ple of Matthews, is now in our county
jail, and it is to be hoped that he will
soon have plenty of company.

1 Mr H C Eecles , returned ., yesterdsy
from a trip to the mountains j of this
State and gives us a; few points that
will be of . interest as they show how
our home resorts tvre growing in popu
larity and Improving their accommoda
tions ascordlngly. There is positively
not a ' better kept - place in the whole
South than the f Warm Springs, under
the management of Mr H A Gudger
Mr Eceles, who Is a good judge of such
things, says that the dining room is
not surpassed any where. The room
itself is a hew addition to the building
and everything in it. including tables,
chairs, table ware and linens, is ' per
fectly new. There are now 400 people
at this place, many from 'North Caro
lina, but the majority from the West.
Tbe rates are 33 ; per day or S)00 per
month. Things have Improved there
100 per cent since last year. The Hay
wood White Sulphur, at Waynesville, is
another strictly first class place. " Here
too, the : dining room,' and everything.
in it is new, jmd . the accommodations
axe simply elegant Mr Thnberlake, of
Georgia, runs the place, which is situa
ted in the very midst of the great Bal
aam moon tains, at an elevation of 2,710
feet and is said to be i the prettiest
place In North Carolina." It is thronged
at all times with ; guests. Asheville
never was - livelier. AU tne twarding
houses are full and the hotels on certain
days have to turn guests away. s The
whole mountain country is' alive with
summer tourists. " ; ---n-
