THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.

Political Bulldozing of Its Employes* ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.—A special from Sedalia, Mo., says: During the last few weeks several of the employes of the Missouri Pacific railroad oompany have been discharged fortaking a too active interest the re-election to Congress of Representative Heard, to whom it is understood the company is violently opposed. On the day of the primaries, at which a majority of Heard delegates were elected, the heads of the different departments of the Missouri Pacific shops handed to the employes More tickets and informed them that the oompany desired More to be nominated. The men, not desiring to lose their positions, voted their tickets and were retained in the company's employ. Master Mechanic McCabe, however, refused to do so and was discharged. Much indignation over the affair is felt by the citizens in this oity. [The Missouri Pacific railroad was right in its contest with Martin Irons last spring and the publio upheld it But it will take mighty little of this sort of political buocaneering to get that road into more politics than it wants. This political bulldozing of employes is not to be tolerated.—ED. GAZ.]

FOREIGN WORKMEN^

Pittsburg Asks For More Protection. PITTSBURG, Sept 14.—Pittsburg is threatened with an influx of foreign workmen. The depression felt in various parte of Great Britain, especially in the iron and steel producing districts, is having the effect of driving this skilled labor into American fields. Exaggerated reports of a great boom in iron in and aroond Pittsburg have reached the north Staffordshire workmen, and they are only waiting to hear the report of a committee appointed to examine into the condition of affairs here before a number of them, assisted by their more prosperous friends, will embark for this city. A vigorous opposition to the movement is expected from the labor organizations of this country. [It is a little difficult to understand on what ground skilled workmen who want to emigrate to this country can be prevented. They are skilled in their trades. They are comparatively well-to-do. They are to come as individuals. They are neither paupers nor criminals. They would be a valuable addition to the population of any place. People who got here last 'year or any time in the last twenty-five years ought not to want to burn the bridges over which thev crossed now that they are here.]

WATTS' DECLINATION.

J. E. Martin Has Something to Sav To

Last Wednesday the GAZETTE contained the letter of Mf. J. EL Watts, of Goal Bluff, to J. E.

This letter has stirred up the Prohibitionists considerably. They declare that Mr. Watts did agree to be a candidate on the Prohibition ticket Mr. Martin, being interviewed, said: "Mr. Watts got up in a temperance meeting at Goal Bluff and said that he had left the Republican party because it had abandoned its principles and he added: .'the old lady Prohibition has oome around and will have to marry her.'"

CROPS.

Their Condition in lilinois, Kansas and Missouri. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.—The Republcan this morning prints replies frgm its correspondents in 185 counties in Illinois, Missouri and Kansas in answer to inquiries concerning the crop prospects. It sums up tbe reports as follows:

It may be stated of these three great states that tbe pasturage has certainly been damaged to an extent that precludes possible improvement that the corn yield will be better than expexted, an average of about 18 to 27^ bushels to the acre, on an increase area that fall-ploughing has been general, farmers are late and retarded by drouth that the conditions are fairly favorable for winter wheat sowing that the winter wheat acreage will be the same as last year, or slightly greater, perhaps that more than half the wheat crop has been sold or oonsumed.

An Attempt to Stop Their Importation. CHICAGO, Sfcpt. 15.—A special to the Times from Columbus, Ohio, says: Judge T. C.

ME THEY MM

Pour Men ArUsted at'st. Louis for the Powers Murder.

Seen Near the Little Depot That Night by a Section Hand.

They Deny Their Guilt Strongly and are Locked Up.

ST. LOUIE, Mo., Sept 15—Wm. Lyon, alias Kerr, John J. Schanner, Wm. Staab, and Wm. Gagan, who are suspected of being the tramps who murdered ,Geo. Powers, station-master at Marshall, HI., on the night of the 11th, were arrested here las! night They were locked up and identified by persons living at Marshall.

HELD FOB EXAMINATION.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.—Yesterday there arrived in this city three detectives in search of the murderers of George T. Powers, the railroad agent, who was assassinated last Saturday night near Marshall, 111. They stated to the chief of police that they believed the murderers were in this city and requested the chief to put his men upon their track. About noon one of the three suspected men was arrested and in the evening the other two were placed in jail. The detectives from Marshall identified the men as those suspected of murder, and they/jrere held for examination.

FULLEB PABTICUIIABS.

The following is taken from the St. Louis Globe Democrat of today: *v "The city marshal of Marshall came to this city yesterday morning, and not. ified the police here that the murderer of Powers was thought to be in this city, and he had a good description of "four men seen in the vicinity at about the time the murder was committed. Detectives Burke and McGrath were given charge of the case, aDd together w|th the marshal, started out on a hunt for the men. After a long and continued search Burke and McGrath ran upon a young man who answered the description of one of the men wanted. He was arrested and taken to the Four Courts, where he gave his name as Wm. Lyons, aged 21, a railroader by occupation. He was locked up to await the arrival of a man on whose memory the identification of the men seen in the vicinity of tke murder that night depends. This man, who arrived later, is Steve A. Burford' a section-hand on the Vandalia' road, who was at work near the place of the murder. His story is that about dusk on the day of the murder, while at work about two miles from the station where Powers worked, he was approached by four men, who, with oaths, said that the station agent had them thrown off the train, and that they would get e\en with him, as. they only had sixty cents among them, and they wanted to get to St. Louis. Burford made no reply and kept on with his work, and the men left, going toward the depot, where Powers was. He then quit work, and as he was going away from bis work saw these men still hanging around.

THE PBISONEB IDENTIFIED.

Later Lyons was brought up from the holdover and placed face to face with Burford, who at once recognized him as one of the four men. Lyons admitted that he had been there and that he had seen Burford, but he did not know anything about the murder, as he and his companions had left the vicinity about dark on a freight train for St. Louis. The police are of the opinion that he knows something about the murder, as at the time he says he left 6n a train for St. Louis there was no train passing there, or anywhere near the time given by him, either east, west, north or south. He afterwards said that his right name was Al Kerr. On his person, when arrested, there were found a "billy" and a number of skeleton keys. He said he was a railroad man, but an examination of his hands show that they are oo soft for a man who claims to be a railroader. When Burford talked to the four men they said that sixty cents was all the money they had, but Kerr, when searched, had $2.65. The amount ak en from the office and the murdered man's pockets, as near as itoan be given, was about SIS. Kerr claimed to hail from Indianapolis, Ind. It is the opinion of the police that Kerr and his three confederates are professional thieves and burglars, and that they were on their way to St Louis to work the Fair.

Last night the same detectives, by a clever pieoe of work, succeeded in running down and arresting the other three men. At the Four Courts they gave the names of John J. Schaurer, Wm. Staab and Wm. Gagan, and they were each identified by Burford as the men, they themselves not denying the fact that they were at Marshall on the day of the murder, but said they had left there long before the murder was committed. All were locked up.

WHOSE WOBK WAS IT?

A number of people seem to believe that the murdered agent was not killed by tramps, but that he was slain as the result of a grudge. However, if the latter theory was the corrict one it is not likely that Powers' enemy would take anyone into his confidence. Again, the manner of jobbery does not hold to that belief. Thtere is hardly a doubt but that the murder was committed by tramps and that the sole motive was robbery. They supposed probably that the agent was armed and that the only successful way to rob him was to kill him.

A Correspondent Who Goes for the Vermillion County Candidate. SULLIVAN, Ind., S*pt. 15.—[To the GAZETTE.]—A Republican paper of? Terre Haute has made the statement in its columns that when Mr. Beasley, the^ Democratic candidate for joint repre-? sentative, recently visited Vermillion*, county he was not warmly received,^ among those whom he canvassed. The^v statement is devoid of all truth. On the,'' contrary Mr. Beasley found "hisr fences" up there in good trim. Moreover, he found a vigorous kick be-^.v ing made on Decatur Downing-. by members of his own party. Mr. Downing as county commissioner dis- ,-, criminated against a certain olass of

people in the Newport bridge matter.,^, •and it has not sac well on the stomachs his constituents. The files of the New-' port Hoosier State, which ought to btf pretty good Republican authority,. would be good reading just now for' those who are desirous of knowing' something about this candidate for new honors, who hopes to slip on through^ rZ Democratic disaffection (whioh does npt^ exist and Greenback and Prohibition.^ votes. We notice down here that thejl Prohibition party of Vigo county has. endorsed Mr. Downing's candidacy. This ought to be gocd news for the? liberal eiement of Vigo county. The^ Newport Hoosier State has charged Mr.S Downing with beiog improperly iniiuenced in the matter of letting the^ contract for the aforesaid bridge. As to^ the truth of the charge we are not pre-^g pared'to state, but as the Hoosier Statep is the Republican organ of Vermillion county it would hardly lie about hitn.^ t- P8®-"*"'
