Everything Wiped Out
St. Lolls March 10.—Master Work
man Shipley, of Chicago, a prominent
Knight of Labor of that city, arrived to
night and will probably remain until the
strike is settled. Ue will sit in confer
ence with the local executive committee
and expresses the opinion that the Mis
souri Paciflo cannot rename business
without the Knights of Labor. It is un
derstood that Vice President Hoxie has
been in communication with Jay Gould
during the moft of the weEk, tlie latter
being at Havana, and that the cable be
tween Cuba and this country has been
kept pretty busy carrying dispatches
between these high officials. Judge
Portis, a general attorney of the Mis
souri Pacific Railway, says that the for
mal discharge of all tbe strikers wipes
out all existing agr, meats between the
Company and tbe Heights of Labor, and
that, if any of the las . r are re-employed
it will be under emir, ly new conditions,
or no conditions or obligations at all.
Too Much of a Good Thing.
Galvestox, March It).—There is but
tittle change in the Mallory boycott
matters. About 2 o’clock this afternoon
some 20 knights quit work at the Gulf
City Company, but their places were
soon tilled by others not members of the
Knights’ organization. It is generally
thought the knights will walk out of
the remaining three cotton presses to
morrow. In fact, it is claimed on tbe
streets by knights that there are no
knights now at work in any cotton press
In the city, but the statement lacks con
firmation, as quite a goodly number of
knights were at work in the other
cotton yards at 6 o'clock this
evening. Rumors of all kinds can
be heard on the streets. It is pretty
evident that matters are reaching a crisis.
People here are heartily tired of hearing
strike talk, and the general public is
losing interest in the matter. At tlie
Missouri Pacific Depot out littie biisl
ness is being transacted, while the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe is doing a neavy
freight traffic, but they don’t know what
hour may see it at a stand-still. Vice-
President Hoxie’s address, and tbe re
ply thereto from St. Louis knights, were
read with great interest by knights and
others. Every man has an opinion on
tbe subject, and it is not apparent that
either publication hns done aught toward
bringing the capital and labor of tbe city
to a bettor understanding. The Execu
tive Bord of the Knfgbis of Labor, Dis
trict 78, is expected to arrive by to
night's train from Fort Worth. They
hold a session to-morrow, when some
final action in the Mallory matter is an
ticipated.
The Situation
St. Louis, March 10.—The following
statement of the present condition of the
strike and its probable future is printed
here: “The railroad situation to-day is
serious but ts likely to grow more alarm
ing in its aspect and extent. There is
no present hope of a solution. That fact
seems to be thoroughly understood and
to be entirely appreciated by both the
railroads and tbeir employes. Tbe gen
erally accepted impression is that the
present strike Is to be made a test case,
and its solntioM can come only with the
final adjudication of the relative posi
tion which labor and capital are to oc
cupy in this country. The Knights of
Labor insist that the railroad managers
are responsible for tbe existing troubles,
and that they are not only prepared
themselves for this conflict, but are
combined to push it to the bitter ex
treme. The allegations against the road
management go back as far as the plac
ing of tbe Texas and Pacific in the
hands of receivers, which was dene, it is
claimed, in order that the road might
have the protection of I'nited States
courts. Withj tbe railroad officials in
thia attitude, ft will be understood that
the strike is only in its inception, and
the apprehension that may be felt is
warranted by the situation and tbe out
look. They themselves say they want
to settle at’once and for all tbe depen
dency of either party upon the ether. It
is declared most positively they will not
yield, but will find out by the settle
ment of, or solution to which this strike
comes just whether capital is in the
future to control labor or labor control
capital. They declare they appeclate
the seriousness of tbe conflict and will,
if necessary, push this situation to a
folnt where some solution must be had.
t would seem that railroad managers
mean just what they say, for their tac
tics are exactly in line with the policy
they have expressed. The Missouri
Pacific is not trying to employ
any men to take the place of strikers',
•nd does not appear to be in any
great hurry to have the men relume
work. The other roads hold the same
attitude. Indeed, tbe inclination of the
attitude. Indeed the Inclination of tbe
managers seems to be to lot.it settle It
self. As aa earnest of their intention
they are discharging employes, who, by
reason of this strike, have nothing to
do. Over 5000 clerks, telegraph opera
tors, yard watchmen and others are laid
oft all along the Gould system, and infor
mation from important points on the line
say the gravest apprehension exists
among these employes, ss they have no
idea the trouble will be soon at an end.
Rumors provail that a further uprising
of Knights msy be expected at any mo
ment. The most important rumor is
that the employes of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy Railroad at St Joe,
will inaugurate a strike on that i nad.
and that Wabash men may bo expeo.'d
to join tbe action of the strike, and be
fore the trouble ends ell the railroad sys
tems of the country will be Involved, and
the dispute will finally be reduced to a
fight between railroad corporations and
organized labor.
Spinners Ordered Out.
Troy, N. Y. March 10.—The spinners
in the knitting mills at Cohoes were
ordered out this morning by tbe Knights
of Labor, causing a general shut down.
Tbe spinners claim that in tbe recent
adjustment of wages they wore not
given fair consideration. It loeks like a
long loek-out. About 500 operatives are
interested.
Unchanged.
Sedalia, March 10.—The situation re
mains unchanged. A circular was posted
to-day by the Missouri Pacific Company,
notifying strikers of their disebsrgo and
ordering them off the company’s prem
ises. A citizens’ meeting will be held to
morrow night, st which some action is
expected looking to the renewal of the
commerce of the State.
—Every first-class dealer sells Opera
Pufls cigarettes. Avoid iniurious Imi
tations. *4-7-178*
A Circular From Supt. Kerrigan
St. Lous, March 10.—The situation
regarding tbe local Gould southwest sys
tem strike is about unchanged this morn
ing. No more Knights of I.abor have
Joined their striking brethren, but it is
supposed that those in East St. Izmls are
contemplating such movement. No vio
lence of any kind bad been reported by
either side as yet. The effect of the
strike upon business here is most dis
tressing. Much of St. Louis' accustomed
trade is being diverted to other cities.
General Superintendent Kerrigan, of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad, this morning
issued an order expelling from the Mis
souri Pacific yards all Knights of Labor.
This order includes a delegation of men
appointed by the Knights to guard the
company’s property.
The circular ordering Knights of La
bor oft the company’s premises is as fol
lows :
You are hereby notified that your ac
tion in withdrawing from the employ
ment of the Missouri Pacific Railway
Company was a voluntary abandonment
of the service of the Company, and that
you are no longer in lUemployinent.and
that your names have been stricken
from its rolls. All such who are now
about the Company’s premises, are
hereby notified that they must immedi
ately leave the some to the end that this
company may resume the traffic of tbe
country. (Signed)
William Keuiuoax.
Although tbe officials will make no
statement concerning their aflairs.it is
generally believed that they are now
employing new men to take tbe places
of tbe strikers, and that a movement of
freight trains will be attempted to
night. Should this prove true, tbe
Knights of Labor will undoubtedly otter
resistance.
Conductors.
Sedalia, Mo., March 10.—The railroad
conductors at Sedalia held a called meet
ing to-night, and tbe following is a copy
of tbeir proceedings furnished the press:
Queen City Division No. 60, Order of
the Railway Conductors—The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
That we, as conductors and employes
of tbe Missouri Pacific Railroad center
ing out of Sedalia, Me., are entailing
hardships anil loss of valuable time by
lending the present strike our recogni
tion.
That we can not help the grievances
of the Knights of Laborer tbeir troubles
with tbe Texas Pacific road in Texas.
That we hope no person will be of
fended at the stand we have taken in
this matter; therefore be it
lleaolved, That we, as conductors,
stand ready to perform our respective
duties in the future as we have done in
the past.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolu
tions be furnished to the heads of our de
partments and tlie press for publication.
[Signed] Committbeon Rksolvtioxs.
No Union Men Employed
Toronto. March 10.—Tbe street rail
way employes have formed of
the Knights of Labor, and were today
dismissed from service by the company.
Three hundred men are thus thrown out
of employment. The President of the
company says that no union men will be
emploj-ed.

Tlie Work the Negro Loves.
The negro loves to plough and split
rails. He is perfectly happy when fel
lowing a mule on a hot summer day and
happier still when the horn blows for
dinner and be can ride home tideways.
The mule is happy too, and answers the
born with a cheerful bray. It is aston
ishing how much sente and old farm
mule has got. I knew one that when it
was most dinner time kept one ear back
toward the house when be was plough
ing the other way, and kept both for
ward when he was coming back. One
day I blowed the horn about 11 o’clock
to tee what Beck would do. She was at
the end of the row, and it took the darky
10 minutes to make her turn round and
go to ploughing again. But It is
fun to Bee the darkies when a
summer rain cornea up. They will
plough on until the shower comet,
and then mount and lope home and get
wet all over, and by that time the rain
la over, and they have to go back again.
Tbe darkey takes more ears of his head
than hit feet. He don’t want his head
to get wet or cold. He sleeps with hla
bead to the tire aqd covers it up good,
and lets hia feet stick out any way. He
will warm hia hands before he will hia
toes. There is one thing that a darky
can do better than a white man. He
can beat ua making fires on a cold, win
try morning. Sometimes when the wood
was wet and the kindling poor I have
worked over a tire a good while and al
most despaired of making it burn, but a
darky never falls. Tbe fire seems to
recognize him, and I have thought that
may be it drew some colored caloric
from hia carcass.—[Bill Arp in the At

• About Sidewalks.
Editor San Antonio Light.
San Antonio is famed for her legal tal
ent, both at homo and abroad, and for
tbe information of her “Imperial” rid
den people, under the name of "reform”
can the legal gentlemen solve the follow
ing problem;
Section first of sidewalk ordinance
says: "All curbing for sidewalks shall
be constructed by the City of San An
tonio out of the general revenue of tbe
city.”
Section second says: "No sidewalk
shall be ordered to be constructed under
this ordinance until after tbe curb has
been set and accepted by the city.”
Section 15th says: “All ordinances
in conflict with these are repealed.”
Yet in tbe face of this ordinance tho City
Fathers, and particularly the reformors
and hold-over ones, are continually pre
'senting resolutions for the property
owners to build sidewalks In 40 or 60
days.
The undersigned lias applied to the
Mayer to have curbing put in where
sidewalks were ordered. Hie answer
was the city will not put In the curbing.
A satisfactory solution to this problem
by the legal fraternity of San Antonio
will receive a leather medal from the
writer. Outsiders not admitted.

Sax Axtoxio, March 11th, 1886.
His Opinion of It
Mr. N. D. McPhail returned to the
city this morning from Mexico. During
his sojourn in the neighboring Republic
he was taken from a train at Zacatecas,
Mexico, by a band of seven soldiers and
robbed of $5OO. Tbe robbery, it is al
leged, was concocted by the Chief of
Police of the City of Mexico and a law
yer in that city named Rojas. McPhail
sold Rojas a blooded horse for $l4OO and
left on tbe north-bouad train, via tbe
Mexican Central, for the United States.
The train arrived at Zacatecas but a
moment, when tbe soldiers entered the
sleeping coach, and showing their arms,
compelled him to leave tbe train. He
was taken before an interpreter and a
telegram, signed by tbe Chief of Police,
read to him. Tbe telegram stated that
he got $5OO too much, and directed tbe
soldiers to place bim in a dungeon if be
failed to deliver up the amount stated.
To get his liberty, McPhail readily com
plied and was allowed to go. amid curses.
On speaking to Mr. McPhail on the sub
ject he said, “I am very glad to see
United States soil, I will bet that man
pays back tbis mouey. 1 am going right
back! They can’t scare me that way.”
The Dltterence.
A Dakota Justice of tbe Peace was
trying a man for obtaining money under
false pretenses by making untruthful
statements concerning a horse he had
sold. A rather severe sentence was
passed, and the prisoner said:
"Judge, that sentence is unjust.”
"That sentence won’t be changed not
to any very great extent not ef the court
knows herself,” thundered the Justice.
“But there was alloverating and ex
teneratingcucumstances in connection.”
"Why didn’t you state ’em before?”
“Tha court didn’t give me no
chance.”
“It is the opinion of the court that
tbe court bad something to do with tbis
trial—please ante up yer fine hero ’fore
I sock $5 enter you for contempt o’
court.”
“Butjust let me explain, you know. I
told the man that the hoss was only six
years old and wouldn't balk; well
you see it was the sor'l hoss you
traded me and I took your word fur all
tbis.”
“Iley! Was it the one I shoved onter
you last week ?”
"That’s what it was, judge.”
“And you didn't say nothing wuss
than that he’d pull and was a colt?”
"That’s all, yer honor.”
“Well, this makes the ease entirely
diPrent—cucumstances alter cases—l
don't seo as yon said any more than was
noc'sary to unload the’ hoss—l’ll remit
ths fine and discharge you on yer own
recognizance. Ef you and the jury’ll
come ont you may ir'ogate at tbe ex
pense uv tbe court.”—Estelline (D. T.)
