The Employes of Oliver & Phillips. PiTTSEtaa, Jan. 17. The employes at thejarious mills owned by Oliver Bros. Phillips wore noti'ed to-day that their wages for the past two weeks, which were du this aiternoon, could nGt le paid. They were given to understand that they will not be kept out of their money long, but many can 111 afford to wait even a few days and are very much distressed in consequence. D. B. Oliver, one of the members cf the firm, said today that the estimates of the liabilities of the rm were all wrong: that the sum total would not reach half of ib OOO.OOO. The latter figure has generally been considered nearly correct. IRON UIGUWATS. The Disappearance or the Main Line of the T., C. and St. L. Financial Circles of Boston All Torn Up Over the Matter Where la the Quigley Committee? Other Items. It is said that the C, I., St. L. and C. hi3 a freight blockade at Seneca. Commencing with to-morrow but one passenger train will be rnn each way on the I., D. and S. A train will arrive here at 11 a. m. and depart at 5 p. m. This line will no longer make throuch connections for St. Louis, hut paf sengers for that point wUl be ticketed over the Peoria division oi the I., B. and W. The Chicago papers continue to howl about the diversion of freight freight from that great commercial center, but their howling has not tie desired effect, and until radical changes are made in tbe inspection rules of that city it will catch out a small portion of the freight destined for seaboard points. The Chicago Board of Trade, it is said, are already making efforts to have these rules changed. To-day the connection of the Wabash with the L, B. and W., at Decatur will be discontinued, and these lines will connect for through business hereafter at Danville Junction. Tickets reading over the two roads via Decatur to points east of this city, will be substituted for them reading via Danville Junction. Tickets sold prior to this date will not be rendered void,, however, by the change in the location of the connection. The change will result in the lengthening of the Wabash to several eastern points. Several ministers called at the office of General Passenger Agent A. J. Smith recently to arrange for transportation, and were somewhat surprised and amused when that courteous gentleman fixed matters so that they could not scalp their tickets. One of the clergy rx en wanted to know if Mr. Smith was laboring under the delusion that they would do anything detrimental to the interests of the road, whereupon he replied in the negative, hut thought that he had better fix things all right, for there were a, large number of people who, while they would not be guilty of a mean act or deed, would think it all right to get ahead cf a railroad if they could. He wanted to do his share to bring about an answer to the supplication "Lead ns not into temptation." A large number of trains were delayed and several abandoned yesterday ou account of snow. The Chicago train and the IMg Four, due here at 3 a. m., got in ten hoars late, and one train on the Air Line was abandoned, while another waa twelve hours behind time. The Detroit through train on the Wabash was awav off,, and -morning trains on the I. and St. L. arrived late yesterday afternoon. Lines along the Vandal ta are down, trains all late on the I., B. and W., and one train abandoned on the Chicago division of the Pan-handle. The Cincinnati division of the Big Four is making good time, for the snow is a great deal deeper northwest than it is east of this city. Nearly all of the roads were working snow plows, and last night much better time was being made. The waiting rooms at the Union Depot were crowded all day yesterday with an impatient crowd of passengers who found nothing on the train registers to make them cheerful. An item has been going the rounds of the press for some time past to the effect that the late President Teck, of the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Road, "used twice a year to walk the entire distance between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, carrying on his arm a basket in which he put any pieces of iron he saw lying near the track, and when hii basket became weighty would damp the contents in a pile near the road for the section men to gather." A Vandalia official referring to the paragraph savs tnat the facts were greatly overdrawn. This official says that when walking through the yards at Terre Haute or Indianapolis Mr. Peck would pick up any scrap he came across and put it where the yard hands could 'not overlook it, but that he never footed it between the two cities. Said the official ia conclusion: 'I suppose no railroad in the country was ever superintended by a man who watched the nooks and corners and understood the intricacies of the road's affairs any better than he did. No he was not peculiar in any way other than hia economy, .which was indeed a commendable peculiarity. The great scandal in the financial circles of Boston is the disppearance of the main line and St, Louis division of tbe Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis "yardwide" Railroad, ihe last time it was seen, some six months ago, It wai in the hands of a gay receiver named Crai?. Owing'to it feeble condition the owners of the road became anxious about it, and decided last spring, by a large majority, to Invoke the aid of a commissioner of lunacy, which subsequently took the name of the Quigley Committee." This committee had no sooner assumed the custody of the road, when, strange to relate, both the committee and the road promptly disappeared. There seems to have been a common agreement among all concerned to keep matters quiet while the detectives were working up the case. This week a paragraph in a Western paper has excited something of a flutter. It told that "Judge Giesham has ordered trains between Toledo snd Frankfort abandoned.-' This has given the detectives a clew. It was this missing read which formerly united Toledo with Frankfort, and the sagacious detective argue, with some plausioility we must confess, tnat Jndge Greaham would hardly have strained the judicial functions so far as to order trains abandoned on a road the existence whereof he felt to be in doubt. This alleged discovery has given bondholders a grain cf comfort; but the whereabouts cf the Quigley Committee is apparently as mach a njittrj es eTer.-Baion Exchange.

O'Donovan Iiossa also keeps his lips clcsed against reporters. Captain Fhelan promise 8 to anticipate the expected revelations of the trial by the publication of am account of Ro&a's doings, which, it is said, will drive this notorious person out of tha dynamite business. He says that he has documents in his possession which will clear him of all suspicion of double dealing, and at the same time expose Rosea and his associates. , Captain Phelan has long been identified with the men who are conspiring to liberate Ireland from its connection with the British Empire. He is an Irishman by birth, hav irjg been born in the County Tipperary, December 23, lS3t;. As an inmate of a prominent Irish family named De la Pouer, ha received a good education. In his twenty-second year he sailed fcr the New World, and, after spending a fcr months East, went to Missouri, in which State he has ever since resided, with the exception of three years spent in Washington, Early in his lifd in Missouri he received a pistol wound of which he still bear traces, from a man with whom he had a quarrel and who shot him in the left hand. This misfortune did cot interfere, however, with his eligibility to ssrve histdepiV' country and he was enlisted in the Unir Army at the beginning of the wai. T . hist position of any prominence r;i3recaiting sergeant in Kansas City. Afterward, in active service, he proved to be a brave and capable soldier, and rose to the rank of Captain. During most of this time he was ia the command of General Logan. He was married at Independence, Mo., in the year 1SG4. Seven children have beca born to the couple, of whom four are living. The eldest, a daughter, is now with her mother assisting in the care of tbe father and husband, who lies at the New York Hospital. Captain Phelan was elected Register of Jsckfcon County, Missouri, in lbbU. Two j ears later he w&s elected Criminal Clerk cf the same county. Having served out his term in this catacity, he traveled with another expert, showing his skill in shooting. His employments in Washington were hrst es a doorkeeper in tbe House of Representatives, and then as Lieutenant of the Capitol police. He afterwards returned to Kansas City with his family and began an ic bu:icess. In the spring of 18S4 he was made Superintendent of the Worahouse, a position ef which he 13 still the incumbent Nothing was supposed of his connection with the most pronounced Irish conspirators until after he suddenly left Kcn:3 City in April, 1SS3. When in August at t'Jo same year news was received that James Carey, informer in the Phoualx Park, Dublin, murder cases, had been assassinated, Phelan was widely tnpposed to be the O'CcaDf II who had shot him. This proved to ta 0 mistake, but brought Phelan into grtzl romin en ce at an Irish leader, the feet thxt .e was so being no longer concealed. It appeared after his return that his busincn in Europe was to procure Information which, would prevent extradition of P.J. Sheridan He is said to have procured evidence that Sheridan waa in Paris at the time of the murders in Phanix Park, and to htv3 cocured two witnesses who would prove thia in case the British Government persisted ia its demand for the extradition of Sheridan The demand was withdrawn, and Phelan 'a services as stated were consequently not required. No authentic fn formation has been made public, as yet, as to bow far Captain FhtLia was made privy to the designs of the dynamiters. A few days after be had given Lnf .rmation to a Kansas City paper respectir:'; an alleeed attempt to blow up the "BritiiLi Queen' steamer, he went to New York, as it is thought, to clear up any difficulty irMcii might have arisen with O'Donovan Hczi and his fellow conspirators, in consequent of this publication.
