Steotenville, November 23 Over two thousand acres of coal land, botween Bercholtz and Mooretown, in this county, havo jnst been leased 'by Eastern capitalists and the prospect for an extension of the Lake Erie.

The Sew Jersey Central and the D. L. Employes Said to Have Threatened a Tie Up on Men lay if Freight Is Received From the Valley Lines The Situation To day.

Jebsey Citt. November 25 A new feature in the struggle developed itself during the morn ing, which may lead to one of the greatest strikes that has taken place in the East for years and may involve both the Now Jersey Central and Delaware, Lackawana and Western roads It has just been learned that meeting of the employes of the Central road was held last night on Pacific avenue Lifayette, to take action in the Lehigh strike. A grievance committee whs appointed consisting of an engineor. fireman, conductor and baggage master, to wait on the officials of the road this morning and demand that no Valley freight be shipped over the Central's tracks from any point and that if the demand was not oonceded to, the Central road would be tid up on Monday morning. The committee called upon Superintendent Ohlhau sen at Communipaw and then left for Now vork, for the purpose, it is said, of placing their grievance before the officials there.

Before leaving one ot. the men said that in case meir grievances were not adjusted im mediately tney Had the assurance from the employes of the Delaware. Lackawanna ana western roaa tnat tney would join in the struggle, also the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who oontrol fully 95 per cent of the engineers on these two roads. In case of a tie up it will be a complete one. The men say that tney mean business and are determined that no valley freight shall reach Jersey City over the Central road.

The de mand must be conceded to day. it was said, or the two additional roads would be tied up on Monday. nppearanoes go for anvthine the backbone oi tne striite on tne l.ehign Valioy road, nt this end of the line, is practically broken. The officials of the road say that it is. The strikers deny it and maintain that the outward show of activity on the part of the eompany is simply carried on to deceive.

From outward indications at tne company's yard at Communipaw, this morning, business has been resumed with accustomed regularity. Freight cars were beini? switched from track to tracK. lone trains of both loaded and emotv cars were uotten to gether and pulled out of the yard toward the west Just how far these trains went is a mat tor of veracity between tno officials of the road and the men on strike. The former strenuously assert that they were regular trains due for points west, while the In.ttr laughingly contend that they were moved out of tho yard, purely for effect and to discourage the strikers. They said that not one of the freight trains sent out of the yards for the Dast several days has been destined for any oartiou lar point, but that they have been sent to vari ous points along the road and brought back abaia as they went out Easton, November 25 The Lohrgh Valley Bailroad company is gradually gettine the better of the situation here.

It is reported at the Lehigh Valioy roundhouse that thirtv three engine crews are out, five engines and crews wero sent down to Jersey City to bring up freight, and two more.aro beintt made up. Three engine crows will bo gent West to bring down trains from the Packerton yards. During the twenty four hours ending at 7 o'clock this morning fonr freight trains were sent East and seven West and ten coal trains East and four West over the Lehigh division. The showing on the New Jersey division for the same time is squally as good. Three freight trains came through here early in the night.

The company's officials say that the ill effects of the strike are practically over so far as this division is concerned, and Superintendent Donnelly is in great clee. The company is overrun with applications for work. The strikers, however, say they are bound to win in the end. Tho visit of tho grand officers last night served to strengthen the weak kneed. WARDE MAY DIE, And Barkeeper Sloan Ih in an Cnpteas.

nut On election night there was a row in. Lewis' saloon at the corner of Washington and Sands streets. One of tho results of the affray was a damaged skull carried away by John F. Wardo, a young man who lives on Chestnut street, near the corner of Etna. It is now claimed that Warde is likely to die from an abscess which is forming in the brain as a result of the blow.

A certificate from Dr. Meyers of 110 Pennsylvania avenuo stating that his condition was dangerous was handed to Justice Goetting at the Gates avenue police court this morning, when John F. Stoss, Lewis' barkeeper, was arraigned by Detective Kortright on a charge of second degree assault. It is alleged that Stoss struck tbe blow which injured Warde's skull. The prisoner is about '20 years old and lives at 66 High street He is married.

Ho pleaded not guilty and was remanded to await examination. Bail not being immediately forthcoming, ho went down to Baymond street jail. CLOSE OF TI1K MACKEREL SKASOX. GioccEsrEn, November 25 The last of tbe mackerel fleet has arrived, closing tho season.

EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM HAS BEEN COLLECTED It Is 'aid on Good Authority That Thl3 Evidence Is Being Tut Into hnpc for fise When Mayor Elect Schieren's Commissioner Takes Hold of the police Deportment Some I7cad May Come Off Then The Jten Likely to lie Hoist by Their Own Petards. There is trouble brewing tor several polios captains who wero officiously and porniclously active in securing votes lor Mayor Boody at the recent election.

The knowledgo that Mayor elect Schiereu's friends have been collecting evidence against tho precinct commanders who violated the rules of the department by actively participating in the convass has mode soveral of tho captains uneasy. They have already received nints to the effect that they would bo brought up on charges when Mayer Schieren's commissioner takes hold, and it is not at all unliKoly that moro than one of thorn wiil hand their ro3ignatious to th successor of Mr. Hayden. There is no likelihood of a shakoup in tha police force through appeal to the lejiislaturo. Mr.

Sehiorun's iriends have ouough evidence in tholr possession to secure a riddance of all tho offensively partisan Democrats on tho force. An Eagle reporter to day received positive assurance that this evidence was now being shaped lor use when the new commissioner takes hold. There will be no complaints under tbe present administra tion, but charge, will be made under the old book of rules when Mr. Schieren's commissioner takes hold. The names of the captains whose cases will do considered tnen nave not Den made public, but it is alleged that they are Messrs.

En nis, tarly. Driscoll, Druhan, Gorman, Kenny and Iviteer. The men named represent the bLxtn, lenth, Fifteenth, 8even leentn Jb ignteentn and Twentieth precincts respectively, jinnis nas long Deon Identified with politics in the eastern district and tnis year, it is said, was particularly active in working for tho ring ticket. Captain Early's movomonts have boon undsr scrutiny. Ho is alleged to be an offensive partisan.

Captains Driscoll and Druhan aro old time Democrats, and it is intimated that tho latter's con nection with the doings in District Twelve of the First ward will have something to do with tne presentation ot cnarges against him. Driscoll is one of Judge Delinurs men, and bi3 activity was not only con lined to Rod Hook, where his precinct is located, but it is clinrn ed to the Twenty second ward. The connection of the captain of the Seventeenth precinct with tho faotioual squabbles in the Twenty sixth ward is well known. Captain French was turned down and transferred because ot his quarrel with Harry Adams, and it is alleged that the leader in the annexed district found a too pliant lieutenant in the man who was sent to fill Fronch's place. Captain Kenny, It is charged, was remarkably active this campaign, and Captain Ketzer, who was a Republican until recent years proved to be one ot the moat active partisans in the support of the Willoughby street ticket It Is charged that he openly in public meetings solicited money in order to carry the campaign along successfully.

Since election Captain Kitzer has been away on a shooting trip. The collection of evidence against the men named, it is said, has been thorough and if the present programme is carried through there are bad hours ahead for them. It is said on good authority that there will be a general shaking up on the force in other directions. There aro nearly three hundred men, partisans of course, who are enjoying easy and wholly unnecessary snaps under tho cloak of "special details." They will be sent baek on post and if a can bo found on the force he may oomo in for some of the soft things. But the new admin istration will not have so many officers dotailed.

Tho sinecures will be dispensed with as much as possible. There aro a number of transfers of captains foreshadowed by the friends of the new administration. Camnin French of the Sixteenth precinct was lucky" this year. He was allowed absence on sict leave, it is understood, to reorganize certain Democratic battories in the Twenty sixth ward. He spent a day or two out there, but the ward boss, Mr.

Adams, discovered that French was really entrenohing himself as a ward leader, and the sick leave of the captain of the Clyinor Btreot station was suddenlv ended. He did not display any marked activity after that. Captain Short of the Fifth pro cinst had been regarded as a stronir partisan, but he was entirely too shrowd, it is said, to jeopardize his piaoe for anybody. He had a row with Senator McCarren because he would not work for the ticket in a certain direction. The cnarges against the captains, if they are brought, will be under ruies 142 and 143 of the old book, which expressly forbid political activity or the solicitation oi monoy lor partisan ends.

There saems to be no douot that there is trou ble ahead for the coinmandins: officers and already some of them havo been looking over tha pension law with a view to retirement Some of the information against these men. It is understood. eomed from Republicans on the force who have been keeping their eyes open. Tho efforts of Mr. Haydon to make, the department unanimous for Mr.

Boody was reasonably sucoesslul, out cue intimation mat iney would tie expected to vote and wort for the Democratic mayor proved a bitter pill for many men in the department RELIGIOUS PBRSCCCTIOX IS DELAWARE. JscveuUi Day Advoatists Imprisoned for Working; on Suuda.y. Ladbel. November 25 Ten members of religious sect known as Seventh Day Ad ventlsts were recently arrested and fined hero for working on Sunday. Two of them, Alexander Dodd and.

Isaac Warren, refused to pay tho fine nnd were sent to Jail for thirty days. Their friends offered to pay the money, but were not permitted to do so by the imprisoned mon. woo Insist that their religion makes Saturday the Sabbath day, and that to pay the flno would ue to aamlt tnat they were wrong in working on Sunday. Both men are prominent farmers and the cells in which they are confined have been comfortably fitted up by their friends, who uesiro to make tne prisoners as comforta ble as possible during their stay in jail. Steps will be taken by tho adventists to havo the law forbidding labor on tho Sabbath repealed by tbe noxt legislature.

When the steamship Paris, from Liverpool, arrived at her dock about 8 o'clock this morning, Dotectivo Trainer, armed with a bonch war runt, stospod on board and immediately arrested one of tho cabin passengors, Maurioe Isaacs, who. it is alleged, skippod to Europe about Ave weeks ago on the Luconia while under 52,500 ball on a oharge of arson preferred against him by Fire Marshal Mitchell. Issacs was charged with setting flro to his shoe store, at 424 Grand street, New York, on April 15 last.

A Little Political gaisiory WhicU Goes Back 10 1ST5. London, Novembr.r 25 A dispatch from Paris to tho Times says: "To morrow's Correspondent will contain a posthumous document written by Charles Gavard, who was charge d'affaires in London in 1875, relating to the assistance England rendered in preventing a German attaok upon France, a narrative of the records of Lord Derby's offorts to preservo peace, and a numbor of alleged interviews between Lord Derby and M. Gavard, in which Lord Derby nsurd M. Gavard that Russian influence had been more efficacious inpreserv iug pence than even that exercised by England. Lord Derby is also said to have believed that Prince Bismarck did not meditate war, but only wished lo feel the European pulse.

M. Gavard in Ills notes adds that tbe Duo de Caraies wrote to Lord Derby thanking him for his Intervention." Tho Fitjaro this morning says that the German publieist, Hayden, declares that Trine Bismarck once told him that he prevented a small military party rom making war upon France in 1875, but that Prince Gortschakoft had claimed the credit of preserving peace. THE ITALIAN" CABINET CRISIS. Public Opinion said to Favor Crlsplaa tbe Next Premier.

Despite these gaps in the count the Democratic supervisors who have had charge of the canvass for the Sixth distriot say that McCarty is elected by a little less than 100 votes. Chairman McGuire, who presides ovor the board of canvassers, said this morning that the contest was very close and that it would be impossible to announce the result authoritatively until the returns for a number of districts which have been sent back for correction come in again. Lawyer Kimball, on behalf of Henry Wolferr, filed a protest today against the counting of tho vote of the Second eleotion district in Gravesend, where 1,512 votes wero polled.

Roundsman Downoy of the Fourteouth precinct will likely remembr for some time tho experience which befel! him at a very early hour this morning. About 3 o'clock ho was po troiing uroadway.

As tie ncared Conway streyt thellguroftf a tall and heavily built man slid out from behind an elevated pillar and stood di rectly in his path. The apparition wore a black derby and a beavy gray ulster. From tho pockets or the latter two brawny lists emerged ready for action as the roundsman steppod up. 'What or you deiug heru?" inquired Downey. Iiuply camo in a few mutterod and uniatolli gioie eyiiaoies.

Again tno question whs re peated. Then tboro was a yell, prolonged and mlnglud with half a dozen fragmentary oaths in Gorman. It camo frominsidu tho ulster. In a moment Downey was rolling on tho ground, with his new found acquaintance on top of him and a huge knife glittering before his eyes. Downey is himself a man of stout physique, although considerably lighter thnn his antagonist.

For a fow minutes tho men struggled without uttering a word. Downey gripped the stranger's wrist and held off tho knifa, which mailt momentary but ineffectual plunges at his throat. Then with ono extraordinary fort lie rolled uppermost and attompted to use his night stick. Tho knife dropped from the man's hand and clinked across tho cobblestones into the gutter. The roundsman's club wae caught before tho intondod blow had been fully launched and a furious struggle ensued for the possossion of tbe weapon.

It terminated in the stranger getting th club, whilo Downey remained in possession of tho string by which it had been attached to his wrist. Downoy scarcely llkos to contemplato what might have been the euu ome of tho difficulty had not Patrolmen Myers and Forest fortunately appeared just when they wero most needed. Even with this reinforcement the man in tho ulster was only subdued with the greatest difficulty. Ho refused to surrender until his head hod been clubbed and ho was unlit for any further resistance. A patrol wagon rung up and he was carted oil to the Ralph avenuo station house.

When questioned by tho dosk officer ho talked Incoherently and gave evorv evidence of being insane. All that could sleaned from him, under stress of quostionlng, was that his name was Anton Beok and tnat lived in Hoboken, at 'Mi Garden btreet. Ho further volunteered the Information that he had traveled to East Now York to find a foreman, through whoso influence it was, he alleges, that he lately lost a situation. "Had I found him," ho added, grimly, in broken English, "I would havo givnn him what he deserved." The foreman's name or address could not be learned. Tbij morninc Beck, his head 6wathed in groat bandages below whloh tiny streams of blood had trickled over his face, was chnrgod in the Gates avenue police court with assaulting Downey.

Justice Goetting's questions elicited no intelligible response from the prisoner, who seemed so evidently deranged that the court took measures to send him to his home in Hoboten.

The domin ion government imposes highly protective duties over agricultural products of the United States.
