Press Association.—Hlectrie Telegraph.—Copyright.
London, January 27. Further outrages on the part of the railway hands" on strike are reported, and those who were employed by the Caledonian Company have destroyed by tire the railway-station at Calderbank, in Lanarkshire. The North British Railway Company has obtained an order for the arrestment of £20.000 upon the funds of the Scotch Railway Servants' Society. At a meeting in Edinburgh it was determined to supply funds freely in support of the strikers. A quantity of goods and minerals lying uncovered at Calderbank Station were set on fire by the ignition of a stack of paraffin. Mr. Matthews promised a deputation of shipowners to provide police protection in order to prevent disturbances, and drafts of constables will be detailed immediately for duty.
