The Strike on the Texas & Ta ctile Assumes Serious Proportions. A Battle Takes Flacs Between Officials and the Knights of Labor. Four Officers Killed and Wounded and Sereral of the Strikers Badly Hurt. The Planters Hotel at St. Louis Partly Burned Four Per sons Cremated. Sr. Louis, April 8 The resump tion of frieght traffic by the Missouri Pacific and Iron Mountain railroads hag become an acknowledged fact. For the rast few day ofticUU have been tending out a r.-gular number of trains wnich althouh stna'ler at first then they were accustomed to before the strike, yesterday assumed their inore natural proportions and today it is espectf d that they will be as large as ever. No m-re bindrancs to the run ning of freight trains on the road is anticipated. Eiist St. Louis is now becoming a point of interest and it is expected thatcfiicials of roads center ing there wi 1 find it difficult to efl't ct a resumption of fre'ghttraffie. All their eflbris in this direction have with few exceptions, failed, and the strik ers, a'thoush they have announced moral suasion as their mode of inter ference, are determined, if that shall lai', to resort to more vio'ent methods, and are detetmincd that no freight shall be moved until the strike is ended. Ra lroad officials last night decided open running freight trains, and will toc'ay make every effort to attain that end. When ttuse at tempts sha'l be made it is expected seriuiis trouble will ensue. St. Louis, April 3. Frederick Tur ner, secretary of. the general execu tive board of Knigh'.g of Labor, and Wm. H. Btiley, a member of the game committee, arrived in this city from Cincinnati this morning and proceeded to the rooms of the local executive committee, where they re now considering the strike. After this conerenco t-hali be finished and some definite line of action decided upon. Turner will attempt to seelloxie and ascertain what line he intends to fal low in ie-employing striking Knights of Labor. A second conference will then be he'd with the local commit tee and an agreement formulated, which will le presented to 'Uoxis for his signature. St. Louis, Aprils Mr. Turner in an interview thia morning stated that his plan is that all positions not now filltd by ntw men who had been employed since the inauguration of the strike, shall be open to applica tion from Knight; that those who apply shall be selected an arbitration committe, which will attempt to ar rive at orne amic ible understanding. Concerning Rr6vnces of the Mis somi Paciho Knight, Turnr-r, in ro py to an inquiry if he should re quest all striking Knights of Labor he le-iniplxyed, repl ed: "No; we don't expect them to discharge com petent mt-n, who have been employed during the strike, and we shall make no such demand; neithrr shall we de mand that ihosewho have committed depredations upon the company's property l-e taken back. Such de mand would be inconsis'ent with the principles la'd down in our consti tution. St. Louis, April 3. Turner and his ssioc'atei were In consultation with tlift joint ex cntive board until alter 1 o'clock tliis afternoon, when they called at Hoxie's office, but t'uat gen tleman not being in they went to their hotel for dinner. Neither the precise iharactfr nor a report of the conference of ihii morning has yet tranrp:rcd. The freight blockade at Enst St Louis is practically broken; all roads have switch engines at work. The sheriff made his firtt arrest today of strikers indicted by the St. Clair county grand jury. Two of them weie taken to Bel eyille by the first train. Latería the day two engi neers running engines in the Van daliavard wtre induced to take their engines back to the round house and an engineer on the Cairo thort line roaa was inaucea 10 aoanuon nis en gine. Another train of coal came over the bridge at nom. The sheriff has sworn in as special deputies all pre-ent employes in the various yards.

The Post Dis patch's special from Fort Worth, Texas, fays: Attempts have been made to start freight trains on the Missouri Pacific. Officers Tulford, Bmeed and Townsend Are mortally wounded and three strikers were shot down in their tracks. Intense ex oi temen t prevails. Fort Worth, Texas. April 3. At 10 o'clock this morning 1,500 people assembled at the Missouri Pacific de pot to see Sheriff. Maddox send out a train, which he said last night he would do go -or die in the attempt. At 11 o'c'óck the engine with twenty aimed deputies backed into the yard to take the train. When ready the "train rprjlled: out for the south, and when it reached New Orleans cross ing, two miles south of the city Sheriff Maddox and posse wag at tacked.' At 1 o'clock a resu'ar battle ensued. , Three deputies were ahotto pieces and several of the strikers are supposes to nave Deen Kinea. ine names of the deputies wounded are Charles Sneed, J.- J. Tulford and Dick Townsend. Sneed will die. A Inter Fort Wort special says: Citizens are arming on all aides, and a fight is now going on between the ginsen ana uujr mgunwu pvuu-, The strikers are well armed with Win cheaters. Everything is in an ex tremely feverish condition. Fort Worth, April 8, 2:30 p, m. several nunarea mercnants ana citi zens are now marching down Main street toward the scene of the conflict, which is still in progreis, 11 armed with Winchester rifles and shotguns. Seven men ara now dead and a num ber wounded. Gun stores are closed and under guard. - The following dispatches have just bren received at the Texas fc Pacific railroad officra: "The greatest ex citement Is prevailing at Fort Worth; the mayor and citizens a-e turning out and arranging for mounted police. The train is on a siding. We will not attempt to do any more until more protection is afforded. One of the strikers at the cro-sin? wag shot dead and two crippled. The train that went through Fort Worth at 12:05 p. m. Wi8 atixeked at the Fort Worth and New Orleans crossing by a lot of men lying in the gs. Seve-al shots were tired by the strike-s and three of the guards were badly wounded. One of them is dying. The t ain re turned to Fort Worth. At the cross ing the strikers ttoppsd the train. The guards asked them why, in an swer was a volley from Winchesters The guards returned the fire with the remit as shown in the two former mefsigei. Train No. 115 left Parsons at 12:50 without interfarence. Thirtv soldier went on the train as guarJg, This makes four trains on the way south. A train is now being made up at Parsons to start north. St. Louis, April 3. Tne details of the desparate affair at Fort Worth, Texas, are given as follows in the Post-Despatch : The suggestive quiet that marked the passige of a fr.ight train through the city was not with out its sequel. When the train left the depot it was under protection of officers, commanded by Jim Court wright. The train had proceeded to the Crossing of the Fort Worth and New Orleans roads when it stopped, as is customary. A railroad employe pays that when the the train stopped, it was noticed several men were con gregated on the track in front of the train. The pokes' commander ap proached and asked why they impeded progress of the train, to which they replied thy had nothing to do with it; that they were not armel, and had no intention ol interfeiing with the road. As the officers returned to the train they noticed several men fitting or lying on the grass a few yards from the track. The ent re pot-se advanced toward the men in ambush till they had reached á ditch along side the track, when they com manded them to throw up their hands. The command was obeyed, but a the hand" came up they brought Winchester rifles with them, whi. h belched forth a deidly fire. The po-se ratuxnad wit-,dedl-erl'ecw. There were perhaps one hundred shots fiied. After the fiist fire the posse advanced and continued firing. The ambushed men retrea'ed behind s ime piles of t es which proved most excellent breastworks, and from the security of which they poured a mmderous fire into the posas. From this po.itrou th.y were final'y dislodged and driven beyond the range of the pose's pistols. The casualties among the pos-e were found be three; police officer Tulford, shot through bih thigh-; special olh cer Dich Townsend, shot through the left breast near the nipp'e. fatal; special officer Chas. Sneed shot through the heart and jaw. The cas ualties among the ambusbers is only a matter of conjecture, though there seems to be good g ounds f. r saying that three or mure of them were wounded, probably fatally. The game authority smvs there were half a dozen or more norsea visioie irim the (rain that were ambushed, which it is believed belonged to the am bushing party. The posse carried the wounded men aboard the train, which bucked into the union depot. From another source the Mail gets the f jllowing: It was the determi nation of the strikers that no trains should run on the Missouri Pacific, injunction or no injunction. It was arranged that should the train pass throueh Fort Worth it must be stopped elsewhere, A number of strikers had been detailed to watch the road south of the city. The train arrived at the crofs;ng when it was flagged by the strikers; not beying the flie, the g'rikera next resorted to th-owing the switch. Asa man ap proached and threw the swi cti he was fired upon by the posee; the fire was promptly returned by the men in ambush. The narrator fays it wag not the in tention of the strikers to retort to violence uniese forced to, but when ihey were fired upon they returned the fire. Thev wire well armed and theitwork ghows that they were pret ty good marksmen. Fire at the Fl antera' Houae. St. Louis. April 8. At 8:50 this morning a fire was discovered in the rear portion of the Planters' houae. corner of Fourth and Pine gtreets. It was found that the laundry room and the drying room of the hotel were in flames, and burning fiercely. The watchman and night clerk awakened the guests, 134 in numner. ine great est excitement prevailed, and for a time a panic was expected, but as some guests reached the ground floor and found no immediate danger in that portion ot the building the ex citement grew less, and some guests returned to their rooms to procure such valuables as hid been left in their hurry to escape. Several trunks were thrown from the third and fourth floors, only to be dashed in pieces. One lady appeared at the third story window, and throwing out her grip. reached for one of the rintrs of the fire escape, and landed in short order on tne sidewalk. Firemen worked vigorously, and at about 6:50 the fire was extinguished, and but for a com plete drenching of the main portion. the hotel suffered but little. The firemen in their rounds through the building made a horrible discovery on the fourth floor in the north ball. They came acro-a ,;' the bodies of two women lervantg. Stum' bling over them as thev made their way through the moke, they were conveyed to tne dining room floor, where a doctor was called and every effort made to resucítate them. but it was a hope'ess tssk and afier working over them for half an hour they were pronounced dead. The bodies were merely clad in their nieht robes, their faces blackened by smoke and the skin on their hands and arms pulled off at placet, showing where they Had ran against obstacles in their efforts to escape. One was im med:ately recognized as Kate Casidy, and the otbr is thought ta be Mary Buike. In another room pitiable acene was witnessed. .Here a third unfortunate wag, found who proved to be Ma'y Cooney, an o her employee, in the linen depart ment. The dead ir!g were wmploves of the house and were not over twen ty j cara of a?o. T he b idy of another eirl, who diel from suffocation, wai found later, making four deaths in all. One mile employe of ths ho'.el made his escape with great difficulty, and only after suffering horribly from smoke. When he reached the side walk blood flowed from his ears and mouth. Three years ago the hotnl had a narrow escape. It was about the game hour in ths morbinz that the fire was reported today broke out and. in. the same rjaca in the kitchen wing, facing on narrow . alley i a reaf. when thr e lives were lost. The employes were sleeping in the top atdry of the wing on tire. . ? Indian New.

Lenver. April 2. A Waehineton spccjal to the Tribune-Kcoubiicau tay: Delegate Bean, of Arizona, in an interview today on the reported eacipe of Gerónimo f om Lieutenant Maus' commai.d, said that he was at hrst inclined to credit the rumor, but upon cons deration of the citcumstan- ccs conclude 1 it was correct. " He ac counts for it by the fact that General Crook had evidently managed to have the Mexican troops io his rear, so that Gerónimo and his band of hos till s ere betn ecu the two foro s and could not escap : without encoumeúng the Mexicans, llenen his fearing examination by the latter, conclud ed to stirre u der to Crook a n d as soon as the opportunity pr. seuteJ to giye him the slip.

Mr. a arrxpr. sses Ms apprehension that Geromi- o and the scoie nf out laws who escaped with him will fur ther raid the sett ements and commit renewed murders and pillage, since he is no longer encumbered with squaws and can go when and where he pleases. Mr. Hear added that il the published statements were true concerning the plot of the Apac'ies to assass'nateUen. Cyook, then Crook had escap. d from Ueionimo rather than ths latttr bad e oped from Cn.ok, and the gain in that rowwow was on 'our side. Mr. Bean was n it inclined to disrU's the recent change by which General Crook is assigned to another com mand and euperneded by General Miles. He admitted however, that the feeling against General Crook's administration of military affairs was very bitter in some portions of Aaizoca. Cnatoma BUI. Wash ngton. April 3.
