Churchyard quiet reigns In tho yards of tho Lake Shoro, Lne, Pennsylvania, Nickel Plate, Big Four and the Valley roads. All the work permitted by strikers was tho making up of passenger trains, to which no objection has been offered. Hundreds of cars of freight stand iu the yards ready to bo unloaded, and along the docks there aro trains of oreladeu ears ready to lie moved, but no one to move them.

Tlio situation has become very serious. Perishable freight ceased coining and a vegetable and fruit famine is impending Cleveland is the distributing point for great quantities of these product and the trade is already paralyzed. The managers of the Pennsylvania, the New York, Pennsylvania Ohio and the Nickel Plate roads called on Mayor Gardener and asked that special police be sworn iu to protect the yards while an attempt was made to employ new men. The mayor issued a proclamation warning the strikers not to interfere with work in the yards. The proprietors of numerous manufactories called on tho mayor und urged him to take measures to settle the strike, as their supplies of eoal were nearly exhausted.

They represented that from to men would lie idle in a day unless the striue was terminated at once. The yardinasters el the various roads were not more surprised than were the switchmen themselves at tlio effectiveness of their strike. Kven the most conservative of the strikers had all along been of thcopin-ion that a number of the men would refuse to quit, and when they wero made aware of tho fact that all the men, non-union as well as union, wero out, conlidence In their ultimate success was increased. In choos ing this time above all others to inaugurate their strike the switchmen showed rare judgment. Perishable goods of all descriptions must be shipped immediately at this season or be spoiled, and the strike cripples the road more seriously than it could at any other time.

Four hundred bricklayers quit work also, their aouon being the beginning of a strike that is likely to leave men idle. Nuptials. Miss Mnry Anderson was married to Mr. Antonio Navarro in the lloinan catholic, chapel of St. Mary's, in Hampstcad, London.

From that tune on, according to the family records, the Navarros were distinguished for exploits on land and sea.
