The provision of the law-permitting you toamxtbe workhouse punishment," naid be. "is intended for case' when the theft charged is the tirst offense or in case where there are mitigating circumstances. Neither is the case in the preenf'instance.

The work npon the Alabama-street sewer was carried on yesterday by tbe same. few men who worked Saturday, including, as it did that day, the two' eons of Mr. Doe. Sergeant Mefford with two ofheers remained at the work all day to preserve order, but their presence was not needed, as the strikers made no demonstrations. When work was commenced iu the morning Doe demanded that the oHicera give him a clear way to four hundred feet, as provided in his contract. This kept tbe strikers at a sufficient distance to prevent them from frightening the teams with their haUooing. During the afternoon Mr. Doe received a committee from the strikers. He agreed to pay 1.50 per day for nine hours' work, or $10 per week for ten hours, and tbe men could choose which it should be. Most of the men. he says, expressed their williugneas to accept these terms, and will go to wors this morning on the nine-hour basis. The union, however, still insists on tbe eight-hour day, and will refuse to go to work unless this is conceded. If the interferenco is continued in. th contractors will apply to tho federal court for an injunction. In the Police Court the cases against the strikers were all continued until to-day. Tho otticers of tho union say that nothing short of absolute surrender to their demands will satisfy them, and if the contractors do not come to their terms there will be a test of Btrength. They refuse to accept tbe proposition of tbe contractors for nine hours' work, saying that their of fer ia simply a return to last year's sched ule, which they do not propose to accept. There will be another conference between tho representatives of tbe union and the contractors at 9 o'clock this morning. "That will be the last meeting we will ba?e with them." said one of the oftlcers of the union last night. "if yonr terms are not atrreed to then will you order a general strike?" "If it is necessary to carry onr point every teamster and suoveier in town will be called out and there are orer three thousand of them." "How long can the union support a general strike!" v e btve enough money to stand a general strike of suveral weeks' duration." "Mr. Doe says that most of his men have agreed to return to work at $1.50 for nine hours, but the union insists upon their re mainintc out until the eight-hour day is agreed to. Will tbe union let thesu men return to work on the nine-hour basis!" "It will let them if they want to. but suppose we pay them their wages to remain out!'' Will yon do this!" 'Yes. we will." The prospects seem to be good for a general strike, and the union Is confident of success sbonld one be ordered. "All tlie contractors have their work contracted for a given time." said an o nicer of tbe union last night. "and if they are compelled to remain idle for a. few weeks they cannot complete it on time." Tbe union will depend upon its ability to stand a longer strike than the contractors can weather through, and force them to terms. Want tk Snbtidr for m Gulf Line. Secretary Smith, of the Board of Trade, yesterday received a letter from John L Telford, of the LoHisville Commercial Club, making a statement concerning an etTort to establish a line of ocean steamers between New Orleans and South Americau ports. The purpose is to cheapen freights by avoiding the expensive New York harbor. Thus who are interested in the atlair are asking oao sort of a subsidy from the cities which wonld be interested. It is said that while tho scheme promises in time to be a very profitable one. thero would be several years of operation with loss, and it is against this that the subsidy isaked. The letter will be laid before the Board ot Trade. How He Collr te.l IIi Claim. John Cogcius was until yesterdsy morning employed as cook in the Forepaueh Circus dining ball.

AFFAIRS OF THE 1IA1LWAYS

Big Four Now in Good Shapo to Dan dle Freight Business at Chicago. Arrangements Hade with tbe Illinois Central That Gives the Infills Li ae letter Facilities Colorado Kate War Dndid. Vice-president Murray, of the Big Foar, has made arrangements with the Illinois Central people which will greatly expedite the handling of tbe freight business of the Big Four at Chicago. Under the arrangement, two men who are well posted as to the terminals of all the Chicago lines and and the facilities of tbe Illinois Central at Chicago, have been placed at Kankakee, and the moment a train arrives at that point they inspect it. indicate the sidetrack each car is to be placed on at Chicago for delivery to other roads, or something to designate where tbe car is to o on arriving at the Chicago yard, aud in thirty minutes as much is accomplished as before this arrangement in twenty-four hours; and, in tact, the business of the Big Four is now bandied more promptly at Chioago than that of the Illinois Central. There has been complaint of tbe time it took goods to get from Chicago over the Big Foar. its competitors getting freight loaded in Chicago in the afternoon into Indianapolis the next morning, and to Cincinnati in time to loftd the next day. but the freights of the Big Four were held so long at Chicago that it could not do what its competitors did. This has boen remedied: freight loaded at Chicago by 4 o'clock of any day will be in tbo Big Foar depots at Indianapolis the next mornina to be unloaded, and. when the new freight depots at Indianapolis are completed. Vice President Murray says no Chicago. Peoria, St, Louis. Cincinnati, Columbus or Cleveland line will possess any advantage oyer the Big Four in the matter of moving freights expeditiously. ltate War Ended. The long standing differences between the Colorado Midland and the Denver & Rio Grauds has been finally settled and rates in Colorado will be restored as soon it can legally be done. This means two or three days before the strictly Colorado rates will be back upon their old basis, and possibly ten days before the rale to Oeden will be put where it was beforo active hostilities were begun. Theeffeotof the settlement of the Colo rado troubles means a stitieniusj of world's fair rates east of the Missouri river, but they will not reach tbe point it was originally intended that they should.

Miss Allen. Mrs. C. C. Foster. Mrs. Merriok Vinton. .rs. F. M. Farquharr Mrs. W. il. Taylor, Jliss ilary Dean. Mrs. Ida A. Harperbaa completed tbeState monograph on "Association Work of the Women of Indiana." which will be printed in pamphlet form and ready for distribu tion at the world's fair. ' It is nn historical work of abont thirty thousand words and contains a large number of statistics cover before collected.' Tbe history of tbe asso ciations in most instances shows when and by whom they were organized and why they were formed. As a book of reference it will be invaluable. There are in this State eighty women's literary clubs. This is simply one item. There are in the monograph tbe history of tbe kindergarten system, the r lower Mission, the l raining School for Curses, tbo Keiormatory, the PropyLeum, the charity institutions tinder the charge ot women, all tee women's missionary work in churches, the cellegiate alumna, Kainabai Circle, all charities, orders and lodger. The membership of these Boveral associations numbers over lUi'.iUJ women. 3irs. iiarper was chosen by the Indiana world's fair comxnitteo as most capable of preparing such an article, and as it now stands it contains more information on tbe subject than ever before published, and is. in its way, unique among tbo State s histories.
