THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR Beginning of the Strike on the Southwestern Railroad

The Mallory Boycott The New York Street Car Strike Trouble Anticipated at a Kentucky Coal Mine Discharged Employee Reinstated. St. Louis, March C At 10 o'clock this morning n order was Issued by the Executive Board of the Knights of Labor, District Assembly 101, In session at Marshall, Tex., ordering a strike of machine shop men employed on the Missouri Pacine or Gould Southwestern system of railroads. In compliance with the order the man struck at Sedall, De Soto, St. Louis and it is expected like action will follow at various other points. Seven hundred men quit work at the Sedalia shops, 340 at the works at De Soto, and between 200 and 300 at the shops In this city. The running force of the Gould system, including shop men, trackmen ad trainmen, is 13,000. Of these, 9.000 are Claimed to be Knights of Labor, but up to this afternoon, only those employed in the machine shops bad struck. It is estimated that at the present time from 2,500 to 3.000 men have gone out, but it is thought provable that if the managers do not accede promptly to the demands of the strikers, that all the remaining Knights on the system will be ordered out. 1 he cause of the strike has been very difficult to get at. but the following statement is as comprehensible, and perhaps as accurate, as has yet been made. On the 15th of last month District Assembly 101, of the Knights of Labor, held a general business convention at Marshall, Tex. Among the delegates to that meeting was Mr. C. A. Hall, foreman of the woodworkers of the Texas Pacific car shop, at Marshall. He bad secured, it is alleged, leave of absence for the purpose of attending the convention from his immediate superior, Mr. Cosby, the, master car builder. This permission, it is said, was witnessed by J. J. McQeary, of St. Louis, and John Thronburn, of De Soto, of Missouri, visiting Knights. The convention, with Hall as a delegate, sat four days, and on the 19th adjourned. At noon of that day Mr. Hall resumed his work as usual. On quitting his duty in the evening be received a note from Mr. Cosby stating that his services were no longer required, and, it is said, assigning as the cause of bis discharge that he had been absent from his business without leave. The Local Grievance Committee of the Knights at once considered the matter. His reinstatement was demanded and either refused or neglected. A strike was then ordered by this local committee, and upon the failure of the men to obey the order a meeting of the Executive Board of the Knights was called. The Executive Board ratified the action of the local committee and issued a general order, upon which the men quit work at Fort Worth, Marsuall and Dallas. '.This action of the Executive Board, it is claimed, was not so much in the interest of the oce man Hall, as a strike for the principle involved. One year ago there was an agreement made between the Knights and the managers of the system that no man should be discharged without due notice and investigation. This contract, the Knights contend, has been violated in this instance of Hall's discharge. The Texas Pacific Railway is one oi hve roads in the States of Missouri, Kan- 's, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana which comprise the Southwestern Gould system. The Knights of Labor employed ou these five roads are under the immediate 'direction of District Assembly 101. When the local strike in Texas failed of the desired result, the Executive Board of the Knights of this southwestern system, - in session at Marshall, and in communication with Keceiver Brown and other officers of the Texas Pacific Kail road since Marek 1, when the first lot of men walked out, asked an adjustment of the trouble by the reinslatement of Hall and some others who were subsequently discharged. With this request the board gave notice that a refusal to comply would be followed by a strike on the Gould system. The railroad has failed to do as desired, and to-day the Executive Board gave the word for a general strike of shopmen. When Master Mechanic Bartlett was informed by a committee of the order that had been issued and that the men in his shop would go out immediately, he asked them if the men were dissatisfied with anything, or if they had any grievance, but they would onlv reply, "We have been ordered to quit work and leave the shops," and they obeyed the order at once. About 200 men were employed In the shop. At the ofhee of the Yard Superintendent it was ascertained that some trouble was anticipated in the handling of the engines. Locomotives are fired and made ready for the road by the shopmen, and are not touched by the engineers or the firemen until ready to go out. It was thought probable that if the strike continued the engines would have to be run into the roundhouses of other roads, as was done during the last strike on the Gould system, and have them got ready for work in that way. The Globe-Democrat's Sedalia (Mo.) special pays that of the men who struck there, 25o were from the Missouri Pacific shops and 1j0 from thi anopsoitne Missouri, Kansas ana lexas. ro freight trains have left since 11 o'clock this

morning. At a meeting of Knights held this noon, a committee was appointed to look after the property f the company, and to see that all passenger enfines are ready for work, but on the arrival of reight traiDS the cars are tide-tracked and the etgincs taken to the round-house and "killed." r rank Pnere, a prominent member of District Assembly lul, and Chairman of the meeting held to-day. taid to-night that all trainmen and bridgtrcen will co operate with the strikers, but it i not known what the track and section men will do. Engineers and firemen held a special mectiug this atternoou, but nothing is known ol their proceedings. Conductor King, who pas.d through here this afternoon in charge of the Missouri Pacific Westbound pa.'s;nger train, f aid that Governor Marmaduke came from St. louis to Jefferson City with bim. and was emphatic m bis declaration that he would stand by the Missouri Pacific officials in their present trouble. He claims that Vice President Hoxie has lived np to the contract entered into a year ago with the Knights of Labor, and says the latter nave no cause for striking. The Governor was aaxious that this information ahotvd te conveyed to the strikers, and said that she: !d the trouble continue he would probably ri'l'. Seda'ia. At the freight department nothing whatever is ' .ag. and from the fact that General Superini . ndeut fcibley is making no attempt to send out ireight trains, it is thought the company will pursue the policy of ahandouing all trains and suspending business in every aepartment except passcDter traffic. The (.lohe Democrat's Pale3tine, Texas, special mvs iro International and Great Northern shop men quit work at 10 o'clock this morning. They have no special grievance but say they walked out in obedieru.to orders from headquarter of the 4 aKnight orrAnr. After holding a meeting the 3,7cSen u 'urSW Mhc shop and yards and "killed''

afternoon, had a conference with a number of Police Inspectors and Captains, and he ordered a detail of 500 men to be concentrated at the Twenty-Third Street Railroad Depot. About 2 o'clock, the Superintendent, with Police Inspector Steers, and President French, of the Police Board, started for the depot la a roach. No reports have been received at Police Headquarters of soy trouble among the strikers up to this hour. The crowds about the stables in Twenty-third street increased until at noon to-day the situation appeared threatening. Early after noon a conference took place between tue officers of the road and committees of the strikers. No settlenent was reached. Soon after it was determined by the officials to run a car over the Twenty-thiPd street line. Inspectors Steers and Byrnes came to the scene, and the reserves, 750 in number were stationed along Twenty-third street from river to river with a Captain commanding at the crossing of each avenue. Mounted police patrolled the center of the street, and at 2 p. m. Superintendent Murray and Police Commissioner French drove to the stables. At 2:00 a car started on its trip ami4 hisses and yells and jeers by the strikers and sheir friends on the sidewalxs. Chief of Fol ice Murray and Inspector Steers marched in front of the car, which had as passengers the reporters and representatives oi the road. Following the car tramped 120 policemen, and after them, in carriages, came Jacob Sharp, Superintendent McLane and other directors of the road. At each avenue wagons and trucks were held in check until the procession had passed. The police rushed the crowd along Tenth avenue. The mob resisted and the mounted police rode down the crowd until it fled. At Fourth avenue a committeeman of the strikers tried to induce the driver of! a Fourth avenue car to stop on the Twenty-third street tracks and block the guarded car, but the committeeman was arrested. The drivers on the Third avenue line Itried to push through and block the passage, but they were held back and the guarded car passe 1. The crowd thickened as the East side tenement district was neared. AtSotond avenue yells and hisses and groans drowned every other sound. A car of the Second avenue line was driven on the track, but a policeman got aboard and drove it away. At Aveuue C, the crowd made a fruitless rush for the car. Tne East River terminus was reached at 3:10 p.m., and the car was at once started back. The crowd seemed more threatening than before. In every window of the tenements on either side, womea shrieked at drivers and police with curses and imprecations. A policeman was struck by a stone huried from the crowd. The police thereupon broke ranks and clubbed the crowd until it tied down Avenue A. Ak length the tenement district was passed, and without further event of moment the car reached the stables at 4 p. m. Then both sides again went into conference. At last an agreement was reached. The men will receive $2 per day for twelve hours' work, with forty minutes for dinner. Other differences are referred to arbitration, and the running of cars was resumed to-night.

Discharged Kmployea Iteinstated. Minneapolis, Minn.. March 6. For several days the 200 drivers and stablemen in the employ of the Minneapolis Street Railway Company have been contemplating a strike tor shorter hours. The men have been quietly and gradually uniting with the Knights of Labor, until now they are all members ot that organization. The company at first opposed the union, and discharged several of the men. Superintendent Goodrich to-day states that the company are willing to grant any reasonable demands of the men, and has a plan under consideration to increase the wages and let the men work by the hour. The discharged men nave been taken back. This satisfies the men and no strike will occur. Trouble Anticipated at Greenwood, Kentucky. LorixviLLC March 6. A special to the Times says: Governor Knott sent a special message to the Legislature at Frankfort this morning stating that he has just received a notification from Louis Craig, State lnsiector in charge of the convict camp at Greenwood. Pulaski County, telling of the desperate state of affairs in the mines there. Convicts are worked there, and yesterday 2im) orderly, armed, free miners, in a body, informed the inspector and Mr. Balnbridge, one ot the convict lessees, that thev would be given to take the convicts and property away, as they intended to burn all the buildings in the camp. They said they did not desire to resort to violence but would do so if necessary. The Inspector asked for two days, and his request was granted. The Inspector telegraphed for the Governor to either send troops at once or order the removal of the convicts before Sunday noon, as the free miners were desperate and determined. At 2 o'clock the Governor ordered five companies of the State militia to the Greenwood miues to protect the convicts and State property. Companies A. C, DandE of the Home Guard left to-day to protect the miners and convicts at Greenwood. Ky. Governor Knott this afternoon issued a proclamation commanding the people of Pulaski County to keep the peace, and ordering the mob to disperse. 1 wo hundred convicts are employed in the mines. Trouble is expected to-morrow, when the free miners swear they will destroy the convict camp. The convicts are at present guarded in their quarters. The Ureenwood mines are six miles from the Cincinnati Southern Road, and areowned by capitalists in London, Cincinnati, Lexington and Danville. The Strike at South ltend, Indiana. Chicago, March 6. Referring to the strike this afternoon of over 1,000 men employed by the Studebaker Brothers. ws?on makers, of South !Hend, lud., Mr. Studebaker said to an Associated Press reporter to-night: "When our ineu discharge themselves they do what we never did by them. Our works have been in operation for thirty-four years, and have never shut down except on legal holidays and for repairs.. We have never asked our meu to work half time, always having believed it better policy to pay 51.50 for a day's work than to pay $1 for half a day's wore. we do not anticipate any serious trouble. A lew oi our men have decided to demand an advance of 'St per cent., and have succeeded in inducing those inclined to be satisfied to go over with them. They hold a meeting to-night, and may conclude to return Monday rooming. The eniploves sent a committee to the firm last Monday making the demand mentioned. The firm declined the demand, but promised to re view the situation personally with their superin tendents and endeavor to adiust tne matter satisfactorily. Stopped Work. Little Kock, March 6. The trouble with operatives of the Texas and Pacific Road has extended to Little Rock. This morning all the workmen in the Si. Louis and Iron Mountain Railroad machine shops, over 300. stopped work and business b at a standstill. The men are quiet and good order prevails. The strike at this point was ordered by the Central Committee ot the Knights of Labor, who ordered the men to quit work on account of the strike on the Texas and Pacific Railroad. There has been no interference with passenger traius, but no freight is handled here. Large crowds ot strikf rs congregated about the depot in this city and the shops in Argent a this aiternoon, but everybody was in good humor and no disturbance of any kind occurred Strike at Paraoni, Kansas. Paesoms Kas., March 6. All the men exployed in the Missouri Pacific shops, at this place, struck to-day. and freight trains are not permitted to run. The cause of the strike la said to be a violation by the Missouri Pacific of the agreement entered into last fall, and the Knights of Labor have several other grievances, which are not made public. Ho disturbance is anticipated. Qoit Work. Kansas City, March 6. The men in the Missouri Pacific freight yards quit work to-day, stopping business in the yards. About forty men have gone out. There is no trouble in the bash yards. WaChanges Mad la fexeeattv Department Inder Cleveland's AdmUtratioou Special to the BentineL v" Washington. March C.

was succeeded by the promotion of an efficient subordinate; the other fire hare been retained. The Treasurer's bureau has been protected absolutely from parti-

san its by changes, and vacancies in all grades hare been filled promotion. Assistant chiefs of division have been recognized as under the civil service classification and free from partisan changes, the appointment of an Assistant Chief of the Appointment Division being the only violation of this principle and policy. In the four clerical grades the civil service law has been absolutely enforced, and excuses for removals or evasions have not been sought. Below the grades of clerks, among the watchmen, messengers and laborers, there have been many partisan changes, but many of the be3t of each class have been retained. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing, controlling more patronage unrestricted by the civil service law than all tke other bureaus combined, has afforded the most conspicuous and perfect example of the triumphs of re form principles. Throughout the other de-1 partments where Assistant Secretaries were employed they have been superseded with a single exception. With Chief Clerks the rule has been very different. The veteran Chief Clerks of the State, War and Navy Departments, trained under the various Republican administrations, have been retained. The Chief Clerk of the Department of Justice and of the Interior Department both continue to serve, and the only two who have beecceeded those of the Treasury and rostouice Departments voluntarily resigned. The State, War and Navy Departments have been absolutely free from partisan changes above, below and in the classified grades. The Department of Justice has witnessed numerous changes in its higher positions the Assistant Attorneys General, the Solicitor General and special attorneys, etc., but its Chief Clerk Appointment Clerk, and other prominent officers remain, and in the grades or division chiefs, clerical clerks, and among the laborers and messengers partisanship has had no victims. In the Interior and roetoffice Departments the policy pursued has resembled that of the Treasury in many respects. Changes and reductions have been made among bureau and division oflicers, but the heads ot those Departments have firmly resisted pressure for the removalof their most faithful and efficient aids, and from the lowest to the high est grades a large proportion of the incumuruiü ueiu lrum previous auuiiuisirauuu. Anti-Pass. 8pccial to the SentineL Washington, March 6. The following is the text of Senator Plumb's anti-pass amendment to the Cullem Interstate Commerce bill: "It shall not be lawful for any railroad company, or for any manager, officer or employe of such company, to issue orMeliver to any menibec of Congress, or to any oilicer or employe of the Government, or to any person at the request or on behalf of such member of Congress or employe, or to any member of the family of such member of Congress, or officer, or employe, any pass, check, or other instrument entitling the per son to whom issued, or any other person whonsoever, to ride over any such railroad, or any part thereof, free or for a rate or charge less than that required to be paid by the general public; and it shall likewise be unlawful for any member of Congress, or for any officer or employe of the Government, to apply for or receive, for himselt or another, or to use any such pass, check, or other instrument, or in any way to travel over any such railroad, or any part thereof, at and for any rate or charge lower than that charged to the general public; and any person who violates any of the foregoing provisions shall be subject to imprisonment not exceeding nix months, or a fine of not less than $500. or both such imprisonment and fine, in the discretion of the court." A Shocking Exhibit. 8pecial to the SentineL Washington, March G. Washington society has again been shocked, and again the shocking process took place at Mrs. Secretary Whitney's. A young lady, the daughter of a General, was one of the many guests at Mrs. Whitney's peculiarly select ball Friday evening. This young lady, Miss Blank, wore a low-cut dress, of course, though report says it was no lower than many others present. Well, finally, in the giddy whirl of the dance Miss B.'s dress, the scant upper front part of it, became horribly disarranged and exposed a portion of her flesh which was supposed to be partially covered. The worst of it was that Miss Blank was not aware of the disarrangement, and pas3ed about among the guests wholly oblivious of it. Finally some kind companions informed her, and she retired in confusion for repairs. This incident fully demonstrated the point at which society should be shocked. There is a point to which it is pertectly proper to go as to lowness of the dress, but a half-inch lower is shocking. All of which illustrates the delicacy of taste that is necessary in the management of a low-necked evening dress, and the proper place at which to draw the line. Thurman Talks Oat Load. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, March 6. The Government lawyers in the telephone suit are' quarreling over the form of the bill to be filed. ExSen ator Thurman thinks the prosecution should be made on the ground that the Bell telephone patent was obtainedJby fraud. Mr. Mawery, the New York expert, holds that the case should be made on the ground the Tan-Electric telephone patent does not infringe on the Bell patent. It is said that the lawyers are so fixed in their opinions that it ii doubtful whether they will be able to come to any agreement. It is reported this evening that unless Judge Thurman can dominate in the case he will withdraw from it altogether. How the Middleman Oets Along;. I rrolessor Sumner. The best war to live If you don't want to work is to get in between two men who do work, and liandle their money for them, carry goods from one to the other, and levy a tax ou theru for the interchange of goods.

SCIENTIFIC TRUTH!

Regarding the Functions of an Important Organ, of Which the Public Knows bat Little, Worthy Careful Conaideration. To the Editor of the Scientific American : Will you permit us to make known to the public the facts we have learned during the past eight years, concerning disorders of the human kidneys and the organs which diseased kidneys so easily break down? You are conducting a scientific paper, and are unprejudiced except in favor of truth. It is needless to say no medical journal of "code" standing would admit these facts, for very obvious reasons. II. II. Warn es Je Co., Proprietors of Warner's Safe Cure." That we may emphasize and clearly explain the relation the kidneys sustain to the general health, and how much is dependent upon them, we propose, metaphorically speaking, to take one from the human body, place in the wash-bowl before us, and examine it for the public benefit. You will imagine that we have before us a body shaped like a bean, smooth and glistening, about four inches in length, two in width, and one in thickness. It ordinarily weighs in the adult male, about five ounces, but is somewhat lighter in the female. A small organ, you say? But understand, the body of an average sized man contains about ten quarts of blood, of which every drop passes through these filters or sewers, as they may be called, many times a day, as often as through the heart, maklnj a complete revolution in three minutes. From the blood they separate the waste material, working away steadily night and day, sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart itself, and folly of as mnch vital importance; removing impurities from sixty-live gallons of blood each hour or about forty-nine barrels each day, or 9,123 hogsheads a year. What a wonder that the kidneys can last any length of time under this prodigious strain, treated and neglected as they are. We slice this delicate organ open lengthwise with our knife, and will roughly describe its interior. We find it to be of a reddish-brown color, soft and easily torn; filled with hundreds of little tubes, short and thread-like, starting from the arteries, ending in a little tuft about midway from the outside opening into a cavity of considerable size, which is called the telvis or, roughly speaking, a sac, which is lor the purpose ol holding the water to further undergo purification before it passes down from here into the ureters, and so on to tne outside of the body. These little tubes are the filters which do their work automatically, and right here is where the disease of the kidney first begins. Doing the vast amount of work which they are obliged to, from the slightest irregularity in our habits, from cold, from high living, from stimulants or a thousand and one other causes which occur every day, they become somewhat weakened in their nerve force. What is the result? Congestion or sioppsge of the current of blood in the small blood vessels surrounding them, which become blocked; these delicate membranes are irritated; inflammation is set up, then pus is formed, which collects in the pelvis or sac; the tubes are at first partially, and soon are totally unable to do their work. The pelvic sac goes on distending with this corruption, pressing upon the blood vessels. All this time, remember, the blood, which is entering the kidneys to be filtered, is passing through this terrible, disgusting pus, for it can not take any other route! Stop and think of it for a moment. Do you realize the importance, nay the vital necessity, of having the kidneys in order? Can you expect when they are diseased or obstructed, no matter how little, that you can have pure blood and escape disease? It would be just as reasonable to expect, if a pest-house were set across Broadway and countless thousands were compelled to co through its pestilential doors, an escape from contagion and disease, as for one to expect the blood to escape pollution when constantly running through a diseased kidney. Now, what is the result? Why, that the blood takes up and deposits this poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every inch of muscle, tissie, flesh and bone, from your head to your feet. And whenever, front hereditary influence or otherwise, some part of the bodV is weaker than another, a countless train of diseases is established, such as consumption, in weak lungs; dyspep sia, where there is a delicate stomach; nerv ousness, insanity, paralysis or heart disease in those who have weak nerves. The heart must soon feel the effects of the poison, as it requires pure blood to keep it in right action. It increases its stroke in number and force to compensate for the natural stimulus wanting, in its endeavor to crowd the impure blood through this obstruction, causing pain, palpitation, or an out-of-breath feeling. Unnatural as this forced labor is. the heart must soon falter, becoming weaker and weaker, until one day it suddenly stops, and death from apparent "heart disease" is the verdict? But the medical profession, learned and dignified, call these diseases by high-sounding names, treat them alone, and patients die, for the arteries are carrying slow death to the affected part, constantly adding fuel brought from these suppurating, pus-laden kidneys which here in our wash bowl are very putrefaction itself, and which should have teen cured first. But this is not all the kidneys have to do; for you must remember that each adult takes about seven pounds of nourishment every twenty-four hours to supply the waste of the body which is constantly going on, a waste equal to the quantity taken. This, too, the kidneys have to separate from the blood with all other decomposing matter. But you say, "my kidneys are all right. I have no pain in the back.7' Mistaken man! People die of kidney disease of so bad a character that the organs are rotten, and yet they have never there had a pain nor an ache! Why? Because the disease begins, as we Lave shown, in the interior of the kidney, where there are few nerves of feeling to convey the sensation of pain. Why this is so we may never know.' When you consider their great work, the delicacy of their structure, the ease with, which they are deranged, can you wonder at the ill health of our men and women? Health and long life can not be expected when so vital an organ is impaired. No wonder some writers say we are degenerating. Don't you sm the great, the extreme importence of keeping this machinery in working order? Could the finest engine do even a fractional part of this work without attention from the engineer? Don't you see how dangerous this hidden disease is? It is lurking about us constantly without giving anv indication of its presence. the most skillful physicians can not detect it at times, for the kidneys themselves ca,- not be exanijnfd, p any means which we have at ulir Wmaiiclr y?u n . anaiyPis of "the wakr. chemically Au4 ficroSCO-

pically, reveals nothing aennue in maay cases, even when the kidneys are fairly broken down. Then look out for them, as oiscase, no matter where situated, to 3 per cent,, as shown by after death examinations, has its origin in the break ing down ot these secreting tubes in the interior of the kidney. , As you value health, as you desire long life free from sickness and suffering, give these organs some attention. Keep them in good condition and thus prevent (as is easily done all disease. Warner's Safe Cure, as it becomes year after year better known for its wonderful cures and its power over the kidneys, has done and is doing more to increase the average duration of life than all the physicians and medicines known. Warner'f Safe Cure i a true specific, mild but certain, harmless but energetic, and agreeable to the tasVa. Take it when sick as a core, ad never let

a month go by, if you need it, without taking a few bottles as a preventative, that the kidneys may be kept in proper order, the blood pure, that health and long life may be your blessing. II. II. Wabiceb & Co. Lynched for Murdering Ills Fifth Wifo. Wheeling, Vf. Va., March 6. A telegram from Ceredo, Wayne County, says intelligence has reached there from Southwestern Virginia that V. A. Witcber, well known in the western part of this State as an orator and politician, has been lynched tor the murder of his wife. Witcher, who is more familiarly known as "Clawhammer. ' from his habit of wearing a dress coat on all occasions, has a remarkable history. He came to this part oi the State from old Virginia aoout 1800, bringing with him a beautiful and accomplished young wife. When hostilities bean between the States Witcher joined the Confederate army, leaving his wife here. Mrs. Witcher died, leaving an only dauehter. The husband was not heard of for two or three years, when he came back with the rank of colonel. Afterward he recruited and commanded a volunteer regiment of guerrilas, who harassed the Kentucky border, giving the Federal authorities much trouble. The war over, Witcher settled in Wayne County, marrying a very attractive woman of a doubtful reputation, who soon left him. Witcher finding ex-Confederates in rather bad odor, went to Salt Lake City, where be joined the Mormon Church and cut a high figure there for several years. About 1S72 be apain appeared in Wayne County, marrying the daughter of a Virginian, and embarked in politics, his gift of oratory making him a favorite. Running for State Senator be was only defeated by a few votes, and lor years he continued to practice law and take an active part in politics. His wife died in 175. leaving him quite a sum of money from ber father's estate, and after a few years of mourning the Colonel married for the fourth time. This wife deserted him in two years, and in 1884 he took his fifth wife, the one whom he murdered and whose death was summarily avenged by the mob. The news has created great excitement in Wayne and adjoining counties. An Alleged Confession. Vinc ennes, Ind., March 6. The alleged confession of the murderer of Edward Barlein, published in a Cincinnati paper yesterday, created touMdcrable comment In this city, and the ciri urn stances surrounding the case are, to sar the Jcast, veryfpeculiar and mysterious. In 1877, Ed Vsrlein, a barber, mysteriously disappeared from this city. He was hunted for everywhere, and finally Henry Berner, a companion of the murdered man, was arrested on the charge of murder, and after several months Barleiu's remains were fonnd buried near the Fair Grounds under some bru&hwood. a little dog leading some parties to the place by its peculiar antics. The murdered man was the master of the little dog and the animal found its master's mysterious grave near the clump ot bushes and subsequently led to the discovery of the body of Barlein. The discovery created a great sensation, lierner was tried and convicted twice on circumstantial evidence and sentenced to ninety-nine years in the Penitentiary at Jeffersonville. This was ten years ago. and Berner has been eking out his life in the pen, but now confesses the story that a man confesses printed in the Cincinnati nquirer, without, however, any name to the effect that he, the anonymous writer, murdered Ed ISarlein in cold blood because Barlein betrayed his sister. The anonymous writer says he is a fugitive from justice, but will not give his name, and hopes that Berner will be released from punishment, as he is an innocent man. The story, while creating much comment, is not believed, as the statements of any anonymous writer are vague and unsatisfactory, to sar the least, and by a great many it is strongly believed that the story was gotten up expressly for the purpose of exciting public sympathy to end in securing Berner's pardou. Chinese Exodus Begun. San Francisco, March 6. Friday's departure of the City of Pekin proved that terrorism has bad its effect. Over 1,400 Chinese left the country. By 10 o'clock there were in the neighborhood ot 5,00) Chinamen in and around the dock. Those having tickets were admitted to the enclosed space in gangs of about twenty, through the two openings, guarded with two men with ciubs in their hands, on one side of the enclosure were two tables at which sat men taking a description of those who did not want return certificates. This lot was composed of old, decrepit and worn out laborers, sick men, cripples and victims of opium. Many were afflicted with loathsome diseases, which made them anything but pleasant companions for a long voyage In a close steerage. The Chinaman who was directing the movements of this poor class explained that as there are so many Chinamen out of work now, it was necessary to send home all that were likely to prove a burden. He also called attention to the unusually large number of women and children going. This, he said, was because they feared trouble here this summer, and they wanted to get the womea and children out of the way.

A Minister Sentenced to Five Years' Suspension. Atlanta, Ga., March 6. A sensatlou was created here yesterday by Bishop Bcckwith's decision in tbe Armstrong case. Rev. J. G. Armstrong, rector of the St. Philip s Episcopal Parish, was recently tried here on charges ot' immoral conduct in Cincinnati last fall. He was convicted of conduct unbecoming a minister, and the ecclesiastical court recommended a sentence of ten years' suspension. Arm strong asked the Bishop for a new trial, and pleaded In every way asainst such a hard sentence. The BLshop yesteriay sentenced him to a five years' suspension from the pulpit. It is not decided yet what Armstrong will do. but he will hardly submit to the Bishop's sentence. He may start an independent church. Public sentiment here Is with Armstrong, who has an invalid wife and a beautiful daughter, the latter just grown, and a general favorite in society. A Fraudulent Stock Buyer Arrested. Madi-on, Wis., March 6. Francis O'Keefe, a prominent and wealthv farmer and stock buyer, was arrested at Cottage G rove yesterday on the charge of fraudulently manipulating scales while buying live stock, and thus defrauding sellers. On'the scales which O'Keefe generally used an ingenious contrivance was found, by means of which the manipulator was enabled unobserved to decrease the weight of whatever might be on the scales as much as "00 pounds. Now that the fraud has been discovered, hundreds of farmers who received Chicago prices from O'Keefe, which other buyers could not afl'ord to pay, are suspicious that the purchaser protected himself by giving light weight. Crop Report. Rochester, K. Y., March 6. Reports to the American Rural Home, of this city, from 5,000 correspondents 'in all parts of the country, say that the winter wheat crop still continues generally in a favorable condition, the usual March freezing and thawing not having developed as yet any widespread or serious damage. Some spring wheat is sown, but the area is small. The ground generally is in good condition. The cotton crop is still very largely in the hands of producers.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Ail Attempt Maid to Abolish That Hereditary Legislative Bady.

Biamarrk ltegreta That TUnes Still Pro. venu Him From Participating in the Debate on the Spirit BiU Antecedents of a'French Crank. London, March C Mr. Henry Labouchere, in the House of Commons this evening, indulged in his annual firing at the House of Lords, and the result of the division upon his motion looking toward the abrogation of the legislative functions of the peers was not only a complete surprise to the opponents of the hereditary legislative body, but to the components of that body as well. The enthusiasm of the Radicals over the Inereasel strength of the minority vote, which is more than double that of last year's support ef a similir motion, is unbounded; and there are to be found to-night many who believe that, when next the seuse of the House shall be taken upon the qnestion, the figures of to-night's vote will be reversed. The cheers which greeted the announcement of tbe result were simply deafening, but high above the uproar could be heard the ringing voice of Thomas Power O'Connor, who, constituting himself a Daniel to interpret the handwriting on the wall, shouted, while he looked exultinglv in the direction of the Torv benches: "Mene. meue, tekel upharsin." Labourchere and Parnellitcs voted with the minority. Many Liberals abstained from voting. The majority consisted mainly of Conservatives and promiuent members of the Government. PRINCE BISMARCK. lie Regrets Ilia Non-Appearanco in the Diet Kmperor William. Berlin, March 6.- Herr Von Boettichcr. Imperial Home Secretary and representative of the Chancellor, this afternoon expressed, on behalf of r.-itce B smarck, the Chancellor's regret that illcess still prevented him from attending and jarticipating in the debate on the Government's tpirit monopoly bill, but hoped to be able to appear when the bill reached tbe committee stage or on its tecond reading, and explain why the Government introduced it, and desired to have it known that he remained pledged to the policy embraced in the measure, desp'ie all rumors to the contrary. The Emperor William isjmaking arrangements to personally review the Fifteenth army corps, which gnrrisons Alsace 1-orraine. Commenting ontthe Kaiser's intention, a government priut calls attention to the fact that the text to the new book which has been ordered by France to be used in all the French schools, there are paragraphs which tesch that if every French youth does his duty, the Republic will some day become stronsr enough to regain Alsace Lorraine. "This," says the German paper, "is inoculating the boys of France with the idea of revenge." A FRENCH CRANK. Antecedents of the Man Who Fired Off His Uevolyer in the Paris Bourse on Friday. Parls March 6. The name of themenwh fired off his revolver in the Paris Bourse, yesterday, is not Petrovich, as at first reported, but Gallot, He is a native of Brittany. He has been out of work for some time. Formerly be was a chemist s assistant, and tused to be well kown in certain parts of the city as a frequent speaker at public meetings. In 1879 Gallot was convicted of coining and circulating count rfeit money. The police having ascertained where the prisoner lodged, went there to-day and examined bis apartments. In them were found a quantity of materials for the manufacture of explosives, a number of finished bombs, and a mass of nitro glycerine. The authorities are now convinced that Gallot belongs to an organization of conspirators, and are endeavoring to find his accomplices. Gallot maintains a determined air, and says he is sure to have imitators. Fruit Report. Seymoi'r, Ind., March C Dr. J. H.
