STRIKE TROUBLES IN AMERICA.
DISRAILING AN EXPRESS.
HOW THE COLONEL WAS CAPTURED. | PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. |
Washington, August 22.— Tho strikers at Buffalo threw tho engine of tho New York express off the rails, but tho couplings broke and saved the carriages from injury. General Carnes states that the people of Tennessee aro prepared to wade in blood in the event of it being necessary to suppress the strike-.
Tho miners have arrested a number of newspaper representaUvcß.
It appears that the miners, by pretending to arrange for a truce, decoyod the colonol in command of the regiment into their hands, and the surrender of tho troops was demanded. He refused to givo tho necessary order, and was detained.
Four cannon and a thousand soldiers have been sent to Tennessee. Tho people of the latter place do not support the attitude adopted by tho miners. The employees on the adjacent railway lines boycott tho goods intondod for tho Buffalo lines, Tho boycott shows signs of extending to New York.
