of capturing: the miscreants, bat tbe search proved fruitless. Two rails were removed, last night, from the tracks of the Cairo Short-line railroad, at Belleville, by someone as yet unknown. The roadm aster, while on a tour of inspection, early this morning, discovered the fact, and tbe rails were replaced before a passenger train, dne at that place at 6:30 a. m., had arrived, and a serious accident avoided. Along the Lines. St. Loots. April 15.—A special from Atchison, Kan., to the Post-Dispatch states that the strike at that point is virtually over. Out of the 120 meu who stopped work there by order of the Knights of Labor, seven ty-eight have returned to work, and. as they say, for good. A special from Palestine, Tex., says: “The strike at this point is apparently at an end. Os the 120 men working in the shops, seventy-eight are old employes, some of whom had been in the strike. The men are perfectly satisfied, and have gone in to stay.” A dispatch from Marshall. Tex., states that a United States commissioner is taking testimony at that place in regard to the strike aud the cause of the discharge of A. C. Hall. The dispatch also states that the strike at that point is evidently weakening. Skilled labor is much needed in the shops there, especially in the locomotive repair department, where thirty-eight locomotives are awaiting repairs. Several more of the old skilled workmen have returned to work. Martin Irons, chairman of the joint executive committee, returned from the south to-day. He said that, from the strikers’ stand-point, the situation of affairs all along the lines was very encouraging. A dispatch from Pacific, Mo., states that the Missouri Pacific shop’s wnistle blew this morning for the first time in weeks. Twenty-five men are at work in the shops and yards, among them a few of those who struck.

LECTURER TREVELLICK. A Sample of the Rind of Stuff He Furnishes for Knights of Labor. ueportof Speech at Louisville. “We, the people, come to take charge of this government; peaceably if we can, bat we are going to have it I don’t want to be the one to baptize our Congress into their new life, for I am afraid 1 would anchor them out for an hour. Suppose your child only costs you 70 cents a day for education and rearing it; by time it is 14 years old, or able to make a living for itself, it has coat either you or the government S7OO. When Europe sends over a man or a boy she gives America S7OO, or gives you one who does not cost for rearing. The man or newspaper that says that pauperism comes from Europe fraan’t sense enough to be a common fool. A man or woman that works from sunrise to sunset, with their hands coupled to the machines of this day, earns $3 whether they get it or not. Two million men and women in America are unemployed. Every time the sun rises and sets $6,000,000 are lost to America forever. What does it meant It means that 10,000 boys aud girls are going to bed hiAurry, and driven to theft and other crime to keep from starving while a few thieving curs hoard the millions. What the world calls statesmen sav it is overproduction. They know nothing and think of nothing except that they and their party stay in power. There are but two parties —the skinned and the skinner. You people are the skinned. You say you are a Demoft-at. You miserable galoots, if you had gone to sleep before the last election and had just awaked, do vou tt> ink you could tell which was iu power? You workingmen earn all there is earned. You don’t get it, but you earn it No, money don't make money. When you loan SIO,OOO you don’t make 10 per cent; you get that much of the other fellow’s money. A government among the children of men that issues money that will draw three times what it produces is a liar, a cheat and a robber. Take the best lands of Kentucky, and the men who work them do not make more than 3J per cent on the money invested in them. What does the money borrowed to run them cost? Three times that amount, and again I say that the government that allow it is a cheat, a liar and a robber, and the people who support it are fools. Oh, yes, you are for your fellow in the election, and what does your fellow or anybody else’6 do when they -ot in but to bark when they are asked by the • >rporations by whom they are hired? You call is government? I call it a band of men doing lie bidding of the grandest set of robbers that ver went unhanged. There are just two forms f government —the autocrat and the democrat, i'he democrat can do anything the autocrat can. Suppose Mr. Cleveland should say to-morrow, ‘I declare war.’ He couldn’t declare war against a green-legged frog unless he said, ‘as President of these people.’ No form of government is so dangerous as a democratic republio of ignorant people. You galoots could be asked a few simple questioue about your government, aud would not be able to answer ooe of them, and yet do not wish your mother or your sister to vote, because ‘a woman doesn't know anything about government.’ You don’t like it either because the Knights of Labor are taking women into their society. If there is anything in it that you want to hide from them you had better stay out of it When the windows of a man's place of business are blinded up (the saloons), don’t you go in them; there is something dead in there. Stay out, and spend the time in filling your empty head with some sense. Some of you object to strikes. If the morning papers were to annonnee that the coal dealers had a meeting and decided to raise the price of coal 50 cents on the ton, would it be called a strike? No. But should the miners meet and decide that they should have 50 cents more a ton for their work, they would be filled with the strike, the strike. I have no sympathy with these simpletord who say that labor has no right to put the price on their own labor. Who has? You fool, composed of shoes, pants and collar, did you ever work? The moment we get in power you will work, or die. If you cau’t do something, for God’s sake git. If it wasn't for the law of Moses we would wring your necks now; but a body might be hung for killing nothing. You don’t believe in boycotting, and you came near passing a bill to prevent it. By heaven, if you do, you will find that America is big enough to put you out of the Union. “Clarence Powderly, aa a poor boy, was boycotted because he was the president of the Knights of Labor when it was in its infancy. Boycott him now, And we will make him President of the United States, and you be careful, you scoundrels, that you are not hanged by the neck. The Knighte of Labor say that there is but two ways to settle this existing trouble between capital and labor. The first is for every one of you who work for wages to take what is given you, never grumble, and there will be no rnore strikes. Second, knighthood says you appoint a committea They shall approach he foreman or the proprietor, and if he does not .ear them as a committee, they shall appoint a ommittee to meet yours, and between them so iect an arbitrator, by whose decision tbe Knighte <.f Labor will always abide. Gould agreed to do ibis, and now the scoundrel dares to deny that he did Arbitration will end strikes. We want our freedom and we must have it. I want you to feel that by your cleanliness of character that you are the nobility of the world; that the wa cbinist that turns the iron into the grandeur of a locomotive, and tbe man who cleans your streets and prevents disease and the death of women and children is a thousand times more nehle than all the tight-paat dudes you can rear In forty years.” He concluded by urging workingmen to use, Jl legal means in an effort to strengthen the

order of Knights of Labor, and that they would then be able to be their own rulers, and take possession of the government, which was rightfully theirs. THE BOYCOTTED BAKERY. Amusing Scenes In and Around Mrs. Gray’s Place of Business. New York Tribune. Many amusing scenes occur, of course, each day in and about lha bakery. A tall, dyspepticlooking man walked into the store yesterday morning and heroically ate ten cream cakes, one after the other, from the counter. Then he put down a dollar, would accept no change and strolled out with the proud consciousness of having done his duty as an American citizen to suppress the un-American boycott. Another enthusiast rushed in in the afternoon and attempted to shake hands with both the young women behind the counter at once. “Where is Mrs. Gray?” he inquired. “I walked two miles to congratulate her on this thing. The idea of a lot of loafers like these sandwich men trying to boycott an industrious, hard working woman! Call themselves Knights of Labor, do they? They had better look up the word ‘knight’ in tne dictionary.” He carried his stock of provisions away to make the boycotters feel badly. Another jolly-faced business man, after ordering five dollars’ worth of bread for the poor, chatted away for ten minutes with the head of the bakery. “If this thing keeps up,” he said, “you'll have to get a branch up town, or the Eight-avenue line will have to add another flag to Barnum's with ‘Take this car for the Gray Boycott’” Dr. Wm. A. Hammond drove down about 4 o'clock, and after congratulating Mrs. Gray on her stand, ordered five dollars’ worth of bread to be delivered at St Vincent’s Hospital. Mra. Gray herself is a short plump, pleasantlooking woman of from thirty to thirty-five years. She comes from Whateley, Mass., where she got a common school education, and has been in the bakery business at No. 508 Hudson street for seven or eight years. Being both modest and good looking, she has naturally objected to becoming the victim of the newspaper “artist,” and is disposed to lament with the economist Holman and others that publicity has still its personal pangs. Her one consolation is that the Sun and World have so far spared the two smiling assistants behind the counter. “Otherwise,” she said yesterday to a Tribune reporter, “the papers have treated us very kindly. I think as an advertisement the boycott has been worth SI,OOO to me. I never did anything like so much business before. My men are all satisfied, and I intend to stick out to the end. At first I lost a little trade among the very poorest class in the neighborhood, but tbe majority of my Third-ward customers still buy and many others are kept away temporarily through fear. I have no doubt that when the furore dies out a little, even if my present up-town trade vanishes, all, or nearly all, will come back again. As for the boycotters, I simply ignore them. There is no truth in the story that I went out this morning to see my lawyer, and that I shall have warrants procured for the arrest of the boycotters, or apply for an injunctioa against the sandwichmen. There is one thing I should like to have corrected. My husband baa nothing to do with the bakery or its management. I built the whole concern up before I married him, and have carried it along ever since without any aid from him. The talk about boycotting in his plumbing business is all nonsense. No effort has been made to do it. He is an active member of the plumbers’ union.” The headquarters of the boycotters are in a beer-saloon two doors above Mrs. Gray’s bakery. There the “sandwich” men and bill-handlers get. inspiration and confidence, and there Chairman Schmidt, of the bakers' union, figures up the ever-increasing bill of dues against Mrs. Gray. The rude boycotters, for some reason, have changed the sex of the plucxy baker. They refer to her as “Baker Boss Gray,” a “fellow” who “rnins his workmen mentally and bodily by overwork," “diesen roben patron," “who must be brought back to his senses” A return to reason at first meant a fine of $25, now it means one of about $350. But although the operation may cost SI,OOO Mr. Schmidt is confident that the patient will be restored to a healthy and respectful view of the rights of i trades-unions. Meanwhile the blockade is to be kept up, though the police have instructions to keep the precession moving. None of the boycotters venture into the store, and no annoyances is offered to customers. The heavy rain yesterday afternoon kept the sidewalk clear, and by 6 o'clock, which is generally the busiest hour of the day, the excitement of" yesterday’s siege was over. The “saudwich” men and their allies withdrew at 7 o’clock, and the store, which usually closes at 8, had a run of an hour or two much like that it enjoyed in the days before it had grown famous in sketches, aud before the honest bakers of the Ninth ward had learned what a great thing it was to be a Knight of Labor. •

OTHER LABOR NEWS. A Chicago Man Closes His Factory Rather than Grant Exorbitant Demands. Chicago, April 15. —The furniture factory of F. Mayer & Cos., extending from No. 319 to 329 South Canal street, has been closed by the proprietors rather than accede to the demands of the workmen, who wanted an advance of 20 per cent in wages and an eight-hour day. Between 275 and 300 men are idle in consequence of the lockout. They are all members of tbe furnitureworkers’ union. Mr. Mayer said his future policy would be determined largely by the other dealers in the trade, who would presently be called upon to solve the problem that now confronts him. _ The Strike of Milwaukee Tailors. Milwaukee, April 15. —The largest strike ever known in Milwaukee has been inaugurated by the shop-tailors’ union. Over four thousand operatives are affected, although a large minority of these have no interest in the strike, and are, in fact, opposed to it. The strike is to secure the adoption of anew scale of prices, mention of which was made in these dispatches. All the wholesale establishments in the city are affected by the strike. Outside of the members of the shop-tailors’ union is a large number of single hands, men and women who take work direct from the wholesale dealers. This class, it is claimed, make on an average more money than the shop-workers, and are therefore not in sympathy with the strike. They have all quit work, however, from fear of violence on the part of the strikers. There seems, so far as can be learned by interviews with the wholesale dealers, no likelihood of any compromise, and after the usual exhilaration and excitement of the inception of a strike, both sides will settle down to a stubborn test of which is the stronger. Labor Notes. Eight boycotting bakers, who have peddled circulars before the bakery of Mrs. Gray, on Hudson street, New York, for several days past, have been arrested for disorderly conduct. A dispatch from Scranton, Pa., states that General Master Workman Powderly has decided that members of the lasters’ union can work on Knights of Labor label goods without joining that order. There has been considerable controversy over the question. A meeting of District Assembly No. 30, Kniehts of Labor, will be held in Boston next Monday and Tuesday. A big public meeting will bo held in Tremont Temple on Monday eveuing. General Master Workmen Powderly is expeeted to be present if he shall have entirely recovered from his illness by that time.

CLEVELAND TO WED. Orange Blossoms to Decorate the White House In the Early Spring. Buffalo !-pecial. There has been so much talk heretofore relative to President Cleveland marrying Miss Frankie Folsom without anything to confirm the report that tbe very recent revival of the story was received in society here with much dnabt at first, but later information has led to the con elusion that it is a fact, and that the President will soon be mustered amone the benedicts. Information to-day from Albany states that not only is the marriage to take place, but the President has bought property at Albany, with the intention of making that place his home at the expiration of his term. Miss Folsom is now in Europe, accompanied by her mother and her cousin, Benjamin A. Folsom. They are at present at Geneva, and intend to return to this country in May. The Troy lady who, it was announced, had received a letter from Miss Folsom, in which she stated that she was to become Mrs. Cleveland in June, is Mrs. Wellington, wife of Assistant United States District Attorney Wellington, and a cousin of G. Barrett Rich, of Buffalo, Paymas-ter-general, who is a member of Governor Hill's staff, and held the same position under the President while he was Governor. General Rich, when asked to-day about the matter, said: “Whether Mrs. Wellington has received any such letter, I can not say, but I will state to you that the report of Mr. Cleveland’s impending marriage is true. A lady friend of my wife—l prefer not to mention her name, but she is a close friend of Miss Folsom’s, and is in constant correspondence with her—has received a letter from Miss Folsom, in which she states that she is to be married to Mr. Cleveland quietly, at the White House, in June.” - What Will Be Done with Gladstone’s Bill. Opinion of Justin McCarthy. I approve of tbe scheme, as we all do, of course, but I fear the prospect before it is stormy. It is likely to reach the committee stage in the House, but it will surely be smashed in the committee. The government wiii in all probability resign. An attempt will be made to form a coalition Ministry, but I do not expect this attempt will be successful, or that such a Ministry will bold together if formed. You will have the Tories coming into office, and as the Tories will by that time be educated up to home rule, they will do what they did with tbe reform bill in 1867, they will bring in a stronger home-rule bill than Mr Gladstone’s, and carry it. Home rule is inevitable in any case, and whether it be a Tory or Liberal government thatshall carry tbe measure, the prestige will all the same be Mr, Gladstone’s.

LATEST NEWS FROM ABROAD. 9 Points of Mr. Gladstone’s Bill for the Better Government of Ireland. The Things What Are Placed Beyond the Power of the Proposed Irish Parliament— France and the Vatican—Notes by Cable. THE HOME-BULE BILL. Synopsis of Msttars In Which the Irish Parliament Most Not Interfere. London, April 15.—The House of Commons haring voted permission to Mr. Gladstone to introduce his bill for the better government of Ireland, the special text of the measure is to* day made public. It debars the proposed Irish Parliament from legislating concerning the status, dignity or succession of the Crown; from passing laws affecting peace or war, the army or navy, the militia or volunteers, or the defense of the realms, and from taking any action concerning the foreign or colonial relations of the empire. Among the other subjects placed beyond the power of the Irish government to deal with are dignities, titles and honors, prizes and booties of war, offenses against the law of nations, treason and alienage, naturalization, copyright, patents, mails, telegraphs, coinage, and weights and measures. The bill further prohibits Ireland from doing anything to establish or endow any religion, or to disturb or confer any privileges on account of religious belief, and also forbids it to impose customs or excise duties. The Queen is given the same prerogative to summon, prorogue and dissolve the Irish Legislature as she has with respect to the imperial Parliament To her Majesty, also, is reserved the power to erect forts, arsenals, magazines and dock-yards. The Irish Legislature is permitted to impose taxes to be paid into the consolidated fund to defray the expenses of the public service iu Ireland, subject to the provisions of the Irish land-purchase bill, but it is not to either raise or appropriate revenues without the Queen’s recommendation, made through the Lord-lieutenant. The church property in Ireland is to belong to the Irish people, subject to existing charges.

The relations between France and the Vatican are again strained, almost to the snapping point, and at Any moment one or the other may take a decision which will* at least temporarily, put a stop to diplomatic intercourse. Since he assumed office, M. De Freycinet has been yielding to the pressure put upon him by Radical advocates for the separation of church and state in France. He has accentuated the anti clerical policy begun by M. Jules Ferry’s “Article 7,” and the expulsion of ecclesiastical communities and the contemptuous reception given to Cardinal Guibert’s last protest against the vexations to which the Catholic Church is exposed in France have embittered the smoldering resentment of the Vatican, and the ill-feeling has been fanned by the Pope’s proGerman and Italian counselors. On the other hand, the French government has not taken offense at the projected change otf-relations between Rome and China. Pope Leo, after anxious reflection, and despite the objections of the congregation of extraordinary affairs, has just resolved to treat directly with the Celestial Empire in future with regard to all questions affecting the Catholics in China, and to w ;v draw the privilege of protecting Chinese ions from France. In principle a similar i ure seems to have been decided on for Jap. and Syria, while, to emphasize this startline change in its policy, the Vatican is drawing closer daily to Germany and to Portugal, which is to be granted important privileges in India The papal decision is not yet officially notified to France, but in anticipation of a rupture I have high ecclesiastical authority for stating that M. De Freycinent has sent Count Lefebvre de Behaine, the French embassador at the Vatican, a letter of recall, for production at a fitting moment. Discussing the question with an individual friend and a counseior of the Pope, yesterday, I asked him what would be the consequence of a rupture. “It would do Frahce more harm than another commune,” said he. Cable Notes. The Porte has been notified by Germany, Russia and Austria, that they are taking fresh steps to compel Greece to disarm.

The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that he took his life while insane. JUDGE JACKSON’S APPOINTMENT. Circumstances Under Which It Was Made— Mr. Cleveland’s Letter. Washington Sp'-cial to Memphis Avalanche. The nomination reached the Capitol at 1:45. Senator Harris, of Tennessee, was acting president of the Senate at the moment. As Assistant Secretary Pruden entered -the door with the nomination. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, who had learned that Jackson's name was being brought in. interrupted the clerk in the middle of a sentence in the Indian appropriation bill aud moved the Senate go into executive session. The motion was carried, and in a moment the doors were closed, the nomination was read, and without being referred to any committee was instantly and unanimously confirmed. To-morrow Senator Jackson will notify the President of the Senate of bis resignation.' On Thursday he will leave for his home at Nashville. and on the following Monday he will as surae the duties of judge in the Circuit Court, which sits at Nashville on that day. As stated in this correspondence, Senator Jackson persistently fought against the nomination, feeling it was due to others from his own State who were candidates for the place. • The following letter from the President, received by the Senator this morning, shows the spirit in which the nomination was pressed upon him: Executive Mansion, Washington, 1 D. 0., April 11, 1886. > Ron. Howell E. Jackson: My Dear Sir —Applications on behalf of all sorts of people to fill the place made vacant by Judge Baxter’s death indicate that the matter promises to degenerate into a most unseemly scramble. To avoid this I have determined to send the name of Judge Baxter’s successor to the Senate tomorrow, and in the interest of this most important service, and in a very clear conception of my duty in the matter, I now write to say to you that you must abandon all scruples., you entertain and permit me to nominate you $o the vacant place. Tour reluctance to consent to this nomination, growing out of consideration of other people in your own State who desire the place, does you great credit, and increases my esteem of your value, but you have no right to control my action, or limit my aelection id this way. and I am quite willing that all other aspirants and their friends should know that your nomination is my act and the result of a conviction of what ought to be done, from which I cannot be moved by your argument, nor by your presentation of tha claims of any other men.

Fully expecting that you will not be insubon dinate in the face of a plain duty, I am yours sincerely, Grover Cleveland. A Three-Cornered Horseback Duel.

G. Hardin on the other. No one in the affray escaped unhurt. Tom Ellison was the first to fall, shot through the breast by a bullet from Hardin’s pistol. He expired in a few minutes. About twenty shots were fired. John Ellison and Hardin perforated each other with bullets. Hardin cannot live, and John Ellison is seriously wounded. The particulars of the quarrel caunot be ascertained, as no eyewitnesses were present until the battle was well under way. A Card from Dr. Jeffery. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The note signed Liberal Christian, critioisin| the Indianapolis Ministers’ Association, is writ ten under a misapprehension. I did not express the opinion that it was true that the Unitarian* did more for charity than the evangelical churches. Nor do I believe that they da 1 said that this impression prevailed. Nor am I aware that Plymouth Church excels the evan* gelical churches of this city in its charitable contributions. But the fact that Mr. McCulloch i| at the head of the charities of this city, and is at the same time pastor of Plymouth Church tend* to create the impression that his church is preeminent in its charitAble labor. I believe thaf the facts are that the evangelical Christians ia this city are by far the principal contributors to the charity fund, the use of which gives Mr. Me* Culloch an exceptional position, whisk in its influence on the public mind tends to the disadvantage of the evangelical ministers. I doubl not that Mr. McCulloch, in his secular capacity as distributor of the charities, has proven himself an able, intelligent and conscientious agent of the fond, and I regret that h i3 understood to use his ministerial influence to the disparagement of those views of truth which those churches hold aa vital from whose members he is receiving Ike greater proportion of his supplies for charity. ] further understand that nearly, if not all. the paid agents of the charity and benevolent organizations are members of Plymouth Church, and that the members of the executive committees of the Benevolent Society are also member* of Plymouth Church. It is due to all concerned that it should b* known whether these things are so, and if are not, let someone tell the public what tbt facts are. Reuben Jefferv.
