The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of All Kinds in tbc Two States. Underwood Said To Be Not Hacb of a Desperado After All Libel Suit Growing Out of a Contest for Office. INDIANA. Trial of Underwood, Who It Said To Be Mot Much of a Desperado After All. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Lebanon, Feb. 2. The case against Henry Underwood and Charles Hammond, charged with burglarizing the store of John R. Beach, at Base's Mills, in this county, on the night of Dec. 14, 1885, was called in the Circuit Court hero yesterday, and is attracting considerable attention. While the prosecution is ostensibly trying Henry Underwood and Hammond, it seems to be the general opinion of the people that the main effort is to work up a sentiment against Gideon Underwood, who is under indictment on the same charge. He has been a resident of this eonnty for fifteen years, and has always borne an excellent reputation to within a short time, and still a large majority of the community has confidence in his ability to prove himself clear. There seems to have been a studied effort to try these cases .n the newspapers, by sending distorted statedents of matters in connection with them for publication. It has been heralded around that Henry Underwood and Charles Hammond were charged with murdering one Israel Downing, when the fact is he never was murdered, and is ftlira and well to-day. Another statement is cot true, that about Underwood . and Hammond having been terrors to the citizens of this county for years. There are not twenty people in the county who ever heard of these men until they saw their names in the papers in connection with fthe Tom Foster gang of out-laws. While they . nay be as bad as alleged detectives make them out, they never committed any of their deviltry In this county that anybody ever heard of. Trouble Abpnt Mail Matters.

ILLINOIS. A Passage In the Legislature Hinting Possible Bribery of Members. at Sprixgfikld, Feb. 2. A ripple of excitement was caused in the House, this morning, by Mr. Merritt (Dem.) rising to a question of privilege, and read in e an article in a St Louis paper giving a report of a speech made by Representative Bailey (Labor) before a labor meeting, in East St Louis, on the evening of Jan. 30, in which he stated that while the Labor caucus was ballot ine for Senator, Mr. Dixon (Labor) had been -called out by a prominent business man of Chicago and told in effect that votes for Mr. Farwell were worth from $500 to $5,000. Mr. Merritt wanted an explanation of the matter. Mr. Bailey stated that he had substantially stated what the article represented him assaying. Mr. Merritt wanted to know if the person who offered the bribe was a member of the House. Calls were' made for Mr. Dixon, who said he saw nothing in the article to indicate that the person was a member of tho House. He Btated that he had been called out of the caucus by a business man from Chicago, who proposed to him that if he (Dixon) would control five votes he could control the same number, and thus block the election of Farwell, and that there was a big Ipeculation in it Mr. Dixon said, in reply, that he indignantly repelled the proposition, and returned to the caucus and informed his colleagues. A voice Was the man who made the propo sition a member of this House? Mr. Dixon He was not Mr. Merritt stated that he had been in the Legislature nineteen years, and that he had never been offered a bribe.

THE TE0UBLES EXTENDING.

Strike of Freight-Handlers and 'Longshoremen Growing More Serious. Business on the New York Piers Greatly ImpededNew York, New Jersey and Connecticut Knights Extending Sympathy. THE STRIKE AT NEW YORK. Some Violent Demonstrations Against NonUnion Freight-Handlers. New Yokk, Feb. 2. The streets along the river fronts this morning presented a Sundaylike appearance. Instead of the daily rush of vehiclesof all kinds in every direction, there were only a few trucks and the horse cars to be seen here and there. The majority of the big railroad freight-receiving and delivery piers were closed, and work was almost suspended. The exception was in the case of Pier 5 the Pennsylvania where a dozen men were put to work by Agent Bowman. The men seemed lost amid the huge piles of freight The one pair of gates that were open on the dock were guarded by police. Piers 1 and 1C, of the same road, were also closed, and at Pier 2 the Lehigh Valley road the gates were closed. At the New York Central & Hudson River pier the agent said he was receiving all the freight offered. There had been no trouble with the men. The New York, Lake Erie & Western road pier had a few men at work, but at the office it was stated that they were taking and delivering all the freight offered. On the Starin pier, where the freight of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western is handled, there were as many police on duty as there were Italians handling freight. The superintendent said he had all the men he needed. There was plenty of help on the Boston & Providence pier, but their boats were not running and the freight was light The Stonington line had men at work. The boat Nashua was laid up, but no work was being done on her. The dock of the New York Central railroad was al most deserted. The men at work were part of a gang of Italians brought down by river yesterday. The Metropolitan line was moving freight, but there was very little to handle. The Arizona, of the Guion line, arrived to-day, and men will be put to work to unload her. The Wyoming, the agent said, would sail to-day. The El Dorado, of the Morgan line, arrived last night As soon as the El Paso and New York are unloaded, the El Dorado will be brought to her dock. The only work done yesterday on the Brooklyn water front was by green hands who were put in the places of strikers. At Dow's stores tight young men, clad in lawn-tennis suits and tight trousers, who were said to have come from the Young Men's Christian Association, were 6et atwork unloading railroad iron from the steamer Lake Winnipeg. One of them wore kid gloves until they were so tattered that they would not stay on his hands. Another laid aside a furlined overcoat and a silver-headed cane to work. It was only a short time before he was disabled by a piece of iron falling upon him, hurting his left foot The freight-handlers employed in the depots of the Pennsylvania road, in Jersey City, struck at noon to-Jay. About 250 men at the freight station, at the foot of Warren street, and about 300 employed in the yards at Harsi mas Cove being out The men marched out in a body, but made no demonstration. Tho striking freight-, handlers at the Erie depot remain out All business is at a stand-still at the freight stations. There are no indications of trouble in the freight depots of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, nor the New Jersey Central road. At the request of the Erie and Pennsylvania companies City Clerk Scott swore in one hundred special officers to protect their yards. A large crowd of striking longshoremen laid in wait, about 5 o'clock this morning, on Hudson street, Hoboken, to intercept the new men emu rJ-r-i tha TWwll. J5Mhi Company' dock, while going to their work. The strikers were concealed behind two buildings. About 6 o'clock the new men came along, and when they reached the point where the strikers were concealed the latter, armed with clubs and bricks, set upon them and gave them an nnmercifnl beating. There were abont fifty of the "scabs,' mostly Danes and Germans, and they fled in every direction. Of the fifty, only twenty-eight reached the docks. None of the strikers were arrested. Along the East-river front the same difficulty was experienced in moving freight as on the North river. The steamer Alamo, of the Mallory line, was to have sailed to-day. Mr. Mallory said she would not be ready till Saturday. The situation in Brooklyn was unchanged, and matters were very quiet The Italian laborers who fill the place of strikers were unmolested; the police guarded the piers. Non-union freight-handlers were again at tacked this evening as they were quitting work at several of the North-river piers. At the Sa vannah line pier two or three men were set upon by the strikers and beaten, pounded and kicKed unmercifully. No arrests were made. One man was assaulted while a policeman stood near, but did not dare interfere on account of the crowd. Finally a force of police was sent to the Savan nah pier. The non-union men were taken away on a tug to avoid the mob. Nearly one hundred men were loading the La Bretagne at the French pier to-day. No trouble was had. The Aurania. of the Cunard line, is being unloaded by sixty men. who did not strike, and who are paid monthly. With the assistance of Italians the vessel can be loaded by Saturday. The Erin, of the National line, is still at her pier. The cargo of the Helvetia is untouched. The Wyoming, of the Guion line, sailed to-day. The Arizona is discharging cargo. The Morgan-line pier is piled high with freight Orders were given to-day to receive no more. The Boston and Providence line has three vessels at the pier laid up. The men at the New York Central freightshed, at St John's Park, numbering 300, struck this afternoon. .Non-union men were put to worK, guarded oy ponce. Among the men assaulted near the Savannah pier was a Spanish cigar manufacturer, who was in no way con cerned with the trouble H13 nose was broken. and he was otherwise badly hurt. When the strikers learned their mistake they apologized. The injured man complained at headquarters of the want or protection oy the police. A secret meeting of delegates representing fifteen district assemblies of the Knights of Labor in the States of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and comprising 120,000 memDers ouisiae 01 aisirics assemDiy 4a, was held in this city last night, at which the follow ing resolutions were adopted: Whereas, We recognize in the conflict now being waged against tne mem oers or district assemblies Nos. 49, 10d and 1022, and the Montauk district, of Long Islanaas well as various otaer trade and labor organ izatioua, by capitalists and corporations, an attempt to strike a fatal blow at organized labor, and thereby increase their power to oppose the producers and de grade honest toil: tnererore.

A meeting of retail coal-dealers ofNew York city was callel for to-day by members of the Retailers Brooklyn Coal Exchange to confer as to the adoption of some plan to get coal. Much feeling was manifested against the strikers. Resolutions were offered denouncing the strikers, but a division took place and the resolutions were defeatod. The meeting then adjourned in contusion. At a meeting of the executive board of the T r 1 . t 1 i , i -. . ...... ivnignts 01 uaoor, to-ment, 11 was decided, it is believed, that if the coal men are granted their demands all the other strikers will return to work unconditionally. Austin Corbln Tries to Make Peace. New York. Feb. 2. -President Austin Corbin, of the Philadelphia & Reading company, to-day conferred with the coal presidents individually in accordance with the request made to him by the Knights of Labor. There was no meeting

called, but he -visited them at their offices. The

following statement is authorized by him. Mr. Corbln came on from Philadelphia at the request of the Knights of Labor, to see if anv compromise eould be effected between the coaVcompanies and the men on strike. The presidents declined to open any negotiations, saying they had now nearly as many men as they needed, and would be, within the next day or two, working at full capacity. In reply to questions about intimations that the strike would be extended to Philadelphia, in order to cover his Port Richmond docks, Mr. Corbin stated that he had just received assurances that his men were satisfied and would not go out The presidents of the other coal companies stated that they considered the strike over, as far as loading the coal was concerned, and that they had more boats offered to them to-day than at any time since the strike began. ; Effect at Uonter'g Point Hunter's Point, L. L, Feb. 2. Owing to the continued strike of the stevedores at their docks and the inability to ship goods, the Devoe Manufacturing Company were compelled to shut down to-day, throwing out of employment between 300 and 400 persons. It is feared that other oil works will also shut down unless the strike ends soon. The Oyster Trade Seriously Crippled. Keypokt, N. J., Feb. 2. No oysters or clams are being shipped from this point to New York because of the freight-handlers strike. The owners of oyster beds at Red Bank, Oceanic and Fair Haven are also unable to fill their orders. They say the supply in New York will not last a week longer. The Sonth Amboy Strikers. South Amboy, N. J., Feb. 2. Every thing is working smoothly at the coal docks here. It was rumored that the strikers would set the coal-docks on fire, but they say the rumor is false; that they will not molest the new men and will not interfere with property. LABOR MATTERS ELSEWHERE. South Ambey Merchants Induced to Boycott the Pennsylvania Company. South amboy, N, J., Feb. 2. The strikers have induced the storekeepers here to boycott the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, by threatening to boycott them if they sold goods to that corporation. Superintendent Barnard, being unable to buy supplies here for the new men and the special officers guarding them, now purchases meats and groceries at Camden. A tow of boats loaded with coal started for New York to-night Boycotting Armour to Annoy Powderly. Chicago, Feb. 2. In speaking about the proposition to boycott all local dealers who handle Armour's meat which has been declared, will be considered by District Assembly, No. 24, of the Knights of Labor, to-night, a wellknown Knight said the proposed boycott was an indirect slap at Mr. Powderly. "When District Assembly 57 and the sailors," he said, "issued their secret boycott, Assembly No. 24 was asked to join in it, but the old executive board, which was conservative, and composed mostly of 1'owderly men, refused to have anything to do with the .scheme. This was last November. With the new year that executive board was released, and a radical board took its place. Then the boycott matter was brought up again and passed in the assembly. I know Mr. Powderly is opposed to it because it places him in a bad light. After he had ordered the stockyards strike off, and the dispute was supposed to have been settled, bethought that Armonr, as well as the rest of the packers, was entitled to a rest The assemblies were of a different opinion, however. I doubt whether the matter will be allowed to come before the general executive board, which is averse to interfering in local disputes. Assembly No, 2,' it seems to me, has a good many irons in the fire two strikes the shoe-makers and the willow-workers, are now being aided by the executive board, and this big boycott will make things lively in the district7 District Assembly 24, Knights of Labor, tonight resolved to indorse the action of the joint executive committees of the three district assemblies in this city, boycotting Arnftu Ax. f!t iinii the2G5 local butchers and grocers who are buying goods from cnatr nrra. After much discussion it was agreed not to furnish the press with the names of the boy cotted dealers, a list of whom the secretary of the assembly had in his possession. The meeting decided that the 265 firms should be notified by a special committee that they wonld be boycotted if they should continue to handle Armour's prod ucts. The Monongahela Miners' Investigation. Pittsburg, Feb. 2. The executive board of the Miners' National Assembly, Knights of La bor, began an investigation, to-day, of the books of the different large coal firms, with a view of deciding whether the Monongahela miners were justified in demanding an advance in wages. The investigation will probably take a week, and meantime the river mines will be closed. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. There has been nearly twenty-four hours of rainfall at Louisville.

I ANARCHY IX COLORADO.

Commissioners of Archuleta County Deposed by a Mob Led by the Sheriff. Denver, Col., Feb. 2. Pagosa Springs, the county-seat of Archuleta county, is in a state of anarchy. A mob has driven the County Com missioners from town and burned several houses. The commissioners were scared and forced to resign their office at the point of revolvers. A special from there says J. B. Martinez, J. P. Archuleta and M. Scase," Republican eounty commissioners, were, on Jan. 3, unseated by the Democratic sheriff, named Helm. The act wa3 perpetrated with political intent, and the mob which followed the sheriff, after having accomplished the act of intimidation, burning the house of Mr. Sease, at Agosa Springs. This last act was committed on Monday, during the absence of Mr. Scase in Denver. Last November the above named commissioners were elected by Republican voters. At the same time a Democrat named Height was elected sheriff. There was a great deal of feeling at the polls, but the preponderating Mexican vote assured Martinez Archuleta and Scase their triumph over the attacks of their antagonists. They were MexJ icans, and this too, added strength to bitterness prevalent Feeling increased instead of diminishing as the time for their induction into office approached, and on Jan. 3, at the county-seat, the time for their official appearance, an armed mob of fifteen or twenty, led by Sheriff Height, forced their way into the room where the commissioners were seated, and demanded them to vacate their seats. The sheriff insisted that tho resignations be made at once, else there would be bloodshed. The Commissioners, mistaken in the temper of the mob, refused, under the impression that the demonstration was nothing more than bluster, but the mob, intent on its purpose, took forcible possession of the commissioners, and with more threats locked them in a room, declaring is to be their purpose to starve them into submission. At the time of the forcible entry of the mob, Martinez left the room and escaped from the building. A delegation of the mob overtook him and forcibly dragged him to the court-house and locked him up, with his companions. Finally, at the expiration of five or six hours, the mob permitted their prisoners to go, but the concession seemed to be for a purpose, for as soon as the three commissioners separated, the mob, with the sheriff still at their head, followed Commissioner Scase to his home. Scase was proprietor of the hotel at Hogosa Springs, and it was here that he resided. The mob surrounded the hotel, and, taking Scase again in custody, he was dragged forth from the midst of his family, and with a gun-barrel at bis head compelled to resign his office as Commissioner. The resignation, so obtained, was at , once forwarded to Governor Adams, and nstructions sent with it that he appoint at once Democrat in place of Scase, Since that time no board has met INo Jaws have been enforced, and a condition of things bordering upon anarchy has prevailed. The commissioners have not been permitted to set foot in the county since the day they were warned, at the peril of their lives, not to return. In fact, it was dangerous to remain in the vicinity, and so they departed at once to Denver, not only for protection, but to lay their grievances before their Representatives in the Legislature and the Governor. The Gov ernor is doing all in his power to secure a settlement of the trouble The matter will be brought before the General Assembly to-day and a joint committee appointed to investigate the affair at once.

An answer to the above question suggests thought in many directions. A proper attention to every matter concerns the farm, whether it be attention to stock, care of implements, careful cultivation of crops, timely repair of buildings, fences or implements, providing what is necessary for the successful carrying on of all farm operations; all go to make up good farming. There is, however, one pretty sure index to good farming, and that consists of the condition of the farm from year to year by way of comparison. In business the success of a man is frequently measured by the accumulation of his bank ac count or the increased value of his stock in business; so it is with the farmer if, from year to year, there is an improvement of his farm in the extent of its fertility, if his crops also increase. and at the same time his manure pile is afeo gradually growing larger, it is a sure sign that good farming is being practiced. Because a farm is producing larger crops is not of itself an evidence of good farming; some peculiar modes may be adopted that will, by a robbing of the soil for a time, appear to be profitable, but which in the end prove otherwise. Many farms are put through a sort of skinning process which renders them poorer, year by year. Any system which will rob the farm is bad farming, and should be abandoned. The same principle may be applied to the care of ani mals. Feeding so sparingly as to allow the animal to decline in flesh is a loss to the farmer. even though he has fodder to sell in consequence. There are farmers who seem to have failed to discover these points, and so go on upon a down ward grade.
