Loci9, March 11. It was announced with a nourish of trumpets last night that th Missouri Pacino would tun train, to-day. but the trains aid not run. and tho Knights of Labor are vory jubilant over tho day's develop ments and the prospects ahead of thom. The trlkers preserve the good record they have made, thero having been no violenoe otnnv kind, or the least Indication of tho oxlstence of riotous or unruly spirit This morning Engine Ho. 239, with Engineer Healy, went down to the Union depot to take " ' out Missouri raolflo train No. 5. A oommlttee mot Hoaly there and handed him a paper with tho seal of the Knights of Labor stampod upon It. It read as follows: Yoa r requested not to tak your engine out Br rder ot Eiecutlrc Committee Knights ot Labor A oopy ot this was handed around to a num ber ot engineers last night. It had the desired effect, and engine 259 went back to tho shops. At 9 o'clock a committee ot Missouri raclflo freight engineers met Superintendent Korrl gnn. and a private eonference was held. Short ly aftor 11 o'ctock tho meeting adjourned, and the engineers fllod out ot the office Into the yards. They scattored Into small croups to discuss matters. It was learned that Mr. Ker rigan met the enclnoers by appointment, a commltteo having been chosen by tho Ilrothor hood at a mooting hold lost night to confer with the railway officials on the uuestlon of running freight tinins. t Mr. Korrlgan opened negotiations by calling the attention of tho englneors to the compact entorod Into by them laat spring, by which they agreed to stand by the company and Its Inter - ' ests as long as the company stood by Its agree- - f ment A vary free discussion was Indulged In. and Anally an understanding was arrlvod at. whereby the engineers will board tholr engines and run them, nut they are not to be asked to do anything but simple engineer duty. The en gines are to be delivered to them in the yards, and thoy are to back down to any train desig nated. If they get It, and the sitrnal is given to go abead.tbey are to open the throttle und let go. After tbe mon had talked the matter over it was decided to hold a meeting at their hall, on Chouteau avenue, this afternoon to take some formal action. . . ,.....,.. It was announced by an ofHoisl cf the MIs ourl raolflo road this morning that tbe engl neors and firemen had signed an agreement to take out their ongines in their turns when called upon. The truth of this statement was affirmed by the engineers themselves. But." aid one of them, "there Is nothing in our agreement that compels us to submit or ex pose ourselves to violence." Thla expression was repeated by others, and seems to have a hidden significance both for the strikers and the engineers. It is plainly said by some of ths Knights that tbe engineers will leave their anilines upon request of the Knlghta to do so. Although no violence will bo attempted, the notice to leaio from tho Knights wilt be re garded as intimidation, and the men will not bo out. This course wilt bo keeping a technical faith with tho company nnd en honest one with the strikers. If this fore cast ol tholr action Is truu thoi e can bo but one outcome of the trouble. The brakemen show their colors by flatly refusing to work. When It was announced that a freight train wonto be run out this evening, it was Bnid posjtlvely that both engineers and firemen would doHbotr work. It was also said that the truln would kas no brakomen The lattorhava elecldod positively. It It, said, not to touch a train. This dotormlnntionlsirenoral withnll Missouri Pa cific briikeman. 'i hat this was a surprise and a novero Mow. iym rTlilnntfrnBt thr f n1''-. rhlch Superintendent Kerrigan recohed the information. At 4 this ovenlnc. careful preparations hav inc boon mado. un engine, with Liminoer Thomas Marvin In charge, backed down to a ftoiirht train At that momont a nlcelv diesBed fiontletnnn, who cava his name as J. 1) Wll Iiuib. Vke-Chniriunn of tho Dlstiict Execu tive Committee of tho Knights of Labor, stepped up close to tho cab and in a clear voice, but by Bo moan loud, said: " Mr. Marvin, don't tnko out this train " Superintendent Kerrigan, who had been managing tho making up of the train, said: ' Loave this engine, sir." VIlllamsBtODPod around on the other aide, and nt that tlmo a prett rouph looking crowd of follows gatbetod about, and several threats weie htmrd ngalnst the engineer. Williams turnod to tbe roughs, and, with a rare display of nurva and courarce. compelled them to ro tlio; nnd thon, loturnlng to the engine, snld' "Mr. Marvin, I ask ou not to take out this train." 'Iho engineer, turning to tho superlntend ent, said: ' Mr. Kerrigan. I would rathvr not take thM train out." . , , Then followed a minute of silence, broken finally b Mr. Ken lean, who said: 'Wo v. Hi not try to send out a train this ovsulng." i The smnll crowd that had been rormlttod to collect about the onglna breathed u long breath of relief, and teuri lllled Williams's e)cs nnd coured down his checkb n. tbo ouglne was un coupled and run Into the round houje, ' T!:U ended tho day In. a grat.d Wofy for tho Knights. ItwAs learned this nftornoon from tbo office ot Superintendent Fleming of the Iron Mountain road that twenty-three engines Jirtcl boen crippled last night oi thi3 morning at De Soto, Mo. The roundhouse was broken into bv unknown poron?, and tlin onjlnos wore rendored usoless by removing and mixing up eeveinl pieces of important machinery. Aionfoienco was hold by the dliectors on 'Chuniro, nnd resulted In a call for a iubllo moetinj to-moiinw to consider the offset of the . itrlka on business. Gov. Marinaduko and Labor Commissioner Kochlltfky arrived In thin city this morning, though it was denied that thoy were callod here by tbo strike This denial was not beltoved, and It was said that the Governor hud a con- iiTonco this afternoon with Vk'e-l'resldont ioxie. It wns learned Into to-night that through the mcdlumsbip ot Labor Commis sioner Kocblltky tho officials of the Missouri Pacific have, mado overtures to tho Exeoutlvo Ecrnmlttue now at Bedalia for n confoionco, A circular wfb Issuod to-night by Vlue-l'msl-cont Hotls suiting forth that the Missouri l'a cillo Ilallroad reaulres tbo services of a large Cumber ot mechanics nnd othur worklngmen, and inviting applications for positions. He says In tho circular that no ncoount will be takon of the fact thut applicants are members I of any labor or othtir organisation.

Till COAL MINKES' RTI1IKK. IlUNTlKciTON, March 11. The strike In Fed eration No. 3. In which tiro included the 11 road Top bituminous coal region of this county and Bedford and also tho Clearfield and Cumber land roglons. seems furthor from solution to day than yesterday. Thoro Is not entire con cert ot action nmong the men in dlfToront parts of tbe federation, or even among those on Broad Top, and much difficulty Is found In preserving harmony. The most determined are those ot tbo Rock Hill Coal and Iron Com pany at Robertsdale, who met again to-day and renswed their resolution not to resume work unless the ndance asked is granted, nine tenths of thom voting against resumption. A large number of those on Shoup's Bun wont to work this morning, mid a delegation ot one hundred marched over from Itoborts dalo to get thom to come out again. Thero is a strong feeling among the miners on the west sldo ot the mountain that the Cloarfleld men. In going to work again have gone back on thom. as they say and that thoro is no reason why thoy should hold out longer. But ths Last Broad Top men aro using all their powors ot persuasion to hold the entire region toguthor. There la also disaffection at Cumberland toward tho Clear Held men. and a delegation from the former region passed through this olty to-day on their way to Clearfield to Bee why the alleged oreaoh of faith was committed. They say that no action should have been taken thero excopt suoh ns would havo appllod to tho whole fed eration. An offort Is being mado to bring about an understanding between different localities, so that all may resume or Btay out. The opera tors have shown no signs ot yielding to the demands of tho strikers. Mauch Ciiunk. l'a,, March 11.

Tho cotton millB at Victory Mills N. V.. wore shut down this after noon owing to a strike ot the operatives. The mills employ about 500 hands, and thoy all went out The men refused an advance of ten per cent, on their present wages. TonoNTO. March 11. Throe cars wore sont out on the streets to-day. but they had to be withdrawn as ths strikers obstructed tholr passage. The company thoreupon doclded to suspend traffic for tho day. as they said it was cloar that proper protection would hot be at fordad them to enable thom to carry out the provisions of tholr ohartor. which stipulates a half-hourly service on tbe principal lines. The Mayor has written a letter to the Tresldent of tho oompany disclaiming all responsibility on bohaltot tho city, and notifying him that he will hold tho company to a strict accountability for a violation of their charter. WOULDN'T FHOK THE BOYCOTTED HORSE. The New York Stenra Company hadn't any troublo in carting coal from Its barges at Pier 3 to its Cortlandt stroot works testorday. Bloory policemen followed nuch cart. But when tho company wanted to shoe one of the horsca that It bought when it found that it couldn't hire any in town, it couldn't find any horsoshoer In Jorsuy City, whore Its horses have heretofore been shod, that would do tho job. Iho strikers went to the blacksmiths' shops ahead of the man who led the horso. and Induced tho black iiulths to agrou not to work for tho company. Then the company's employee took tho horse back hcioss tbe ferry to a horscshoer in tho upper part of tbn city and had new shoes put on. The Now lork blacksmith s.ild tbnt he would shoe nil the horses that came alone The strikers snld jestorduy that whon Mr Wallace II.

Mr. Sharp did not rocelvo tho committeemen with oITuslvo politeness. Ha won't tell what hap pened. Tholr version may bo told thus : Among tbe first requests ot tho committee wa th reinstatement Of Driver Ilonry Welkor. who, according to Mr. Sharp, had been dis charged on Sunday tor Intoxication, Commit teeman Boat said that Welker wo not Intoxl oated. Mr, Sharp got very red and angry nnd explosively remarked that tho railroad would give up Its business and go into bankruptcy efore it would bo dictated to by any associ ation. Tho oompany would sell it first. Mr. O'Donnell (Jocutatltl Would you Mil It to th Emplrt Protective Association t Mr. Sharp (dtad serious) W would not aril It to any on who had been trying to break It mt Under no con. Ideratlou would we sell it to the Luiplr Protective As sociation . Mr. o Donnell We have no Intention of buying th road, although we iiava enough money to buy It. V could make a far better investment than a partnership with Mr. Jacob Miarp A lively exchange of oompllmonts followed this. When things had calmed down a little, Commttteomnn Best nsked Mr. Sharp If ho was willing to sign an agreement similar to that slgnou on Wednesday by Deaaon lllchardson, and lu nursunnco ot his promise of Saturday last, Mr. bharp said It was not truo that he bad made any such promise. " I will not be bound by tbo Dry Dock agree ment." be added, "nor will I ngreo tbnt tho settlement between Mr. ltlchardson and his omplojeei ehnll bo tbe basis of a sottlemont on this road." Tho cornmlttoomon say that theypercohod that furthor talk with Mr. bharp wbllo be was In such a humor would be usoless, They de parted nnd went to Police lloadquarters. As Mr. Sharp, flushed and angry looking, emerged from his ofilco, Uvo reporters ad vanced toward him. "What Is the result of tho conference?" ona Ot the reporters asked. "I bne nothing to say." answored Mr. Sharp. "On. you bo u d." ho said to a reporter, who said that "the publlo wanted to know." " Tho publlo be d a. quoted another re porter, r Mr. Sharp had closed the carrlnco door, but this celebrated remark caused him to jump out on the sidewalk. He advanced toward tha reporter who made It, and said, shaking his cane menacingly: ' iou aro a liar if sou say I said that. I did not ay "The publlo bo d d.' I said ' You bo d d.' " And Mr. Sharp hur riedly got back In bis carriage and rattled east ward through Twonty-tbird street. Tha commltti omen bad found Commission ers French, Voorhls. and McLean, Superin tendent Murray, nnd Inspector Steers at Police Headquarters. Mr. O'Donnell said that Mr. Sharp had gone back on the asroemont ho made in the presence of Superintendent Murray and Inspector Steers on Sat urday. Before anything elso could ba said a messenger aame in and said that Mr. Jacob Sharp wished to seo the Super intendent. Tho committeemen were requestud togoiuto the Superintendent's private room. The door was closed upon them just as Mr. Shurp ontorod tho adjoining room. Mr. Sharp was out of breath and greatly exolted. He de clared that becauso he had refused to discharge n man and allow the Empire ssoclatlon to buy the road, the Association's representatives had declined to troat with him. At this point tho door concealing tbe com mitteemen was opened, and thoy confronted Mi. Sharp. He looked a it tho committeemen were three spectres. ' Mr bharp camo hero to misrepresent us," said one of the committeemen. Mr. bhnrp said he would ngreo to everything reasonable that tho Empire Association wanted. He would agree to tho twelve-hour system, and would have tho timo t.iblo ready noxt Thursday. Mr O Donnell That will not do Mr hharp If I nin at liberty I wih hav it read) by Monday.

About l.TOO poreons went to MubIc Hall this evoning to hoar what Pai son Downs advertlsod would be "a stnrt llng expostf of an atrocious plot, Implicating tho ministry, the Church, the press, and tho bar." Law or Keyes of tbe legal coterie In tho caj opened the pertoimance by reading a paragraph from tho Boston de spatch to Tun fcuN. printed about threo wooks wo, and which Intimated that somo Interesting developments In the Downs case might bo expected In connection with the delay In tho trial. That, said Mr. Knyes, re ferred to two stories which woro afterward printed In the JJotlim J'oul, implicating Mr. Downs with a young woman In JJoston and another In North Manchester, Conn. ' Those two stories " continued Mr. Koios. "weio the rosult of the deopost conspiracy possible for man to concoct." Parson Downs then took the platform to mako his expose, and ho was greeted with ap plause. He said at tho outset that his charge wns lhat JJillonlmck nud tho Post struck hands with tho District Attorney and my othor oiiomlos In a conspiracy to convict mo In tho courts of this Cominonwonlth." Tho parson then roplloJ to a rocuntly published story to tho ofinct thnt In March, 1833, ho wns summoned to North Manchester.

Conn., nud wits buffering from Its effects. Tho young woman was marrlod about a year ngo at Mr. Downs's house In this city to an Illinois man, nnd sho is now living with her husband In that Htate. Mr. Downs read a telegram from her denying that tho cause of her sickness was as ropicsoutod by tho Jtt, and ha added tho iiuDrncatlon, "and I say damn tha man who will broak up her homo now." Tha parson road an affidavit about Itororter Dllltfuback'a investigation In Connecticut, re peating the quostlons asked of the hotel clerk where the young woman remained for several days. Among other Inquiries, nccordlngto this affidavit, tho rnportoraskcdJt Downs and tho woman occupied the same room and bed. Downs became furious in reading this passage, and exclaimud: "Damn him, I say. If I had known that when I had him by tho throat at the l'arker Iiouso tho other night the four mon thero could not havo saved him." The Indignant parson denounced others whom ho chargod with plotting against him. He was particularly sovcro with a doctor at tho West Km!, whom ho alleged tried to Impllcato him Inn case of seduction in that neighbor hood, and shouted: "And I say aguln, damn him." Ho continued: "What atn I oxpocted to do? Is thero any thing that wickedness and sin nnd money can do against mo that has not boon done I" A Voice-It all amounts to nothing. "Thnt Is so," continued thy puisonj but, by tho Kternal. all nhothave had any hand In the plot ngalnst ina Hball comedown.
