Mis NeUie Ingram.
The Jetlerson City Tribune, in writing of
an entertainment in that city, speak as
fo lows of Miss Ingram :
"To be sure, the leature of the entertain
ment was the two rtcitations by Miss
Nellie Ingram. She is too w. li known to
slonih by surpassing expectation, but by
no means did she lull below the estimate of
her mat admiring friends. Whether in
tragedy or comedy, v iss Nellie is charm
ing and real, and her renditions are nothing
less than artistic. In the Maniac, she was
master of the selection and the udit-nc-,
but in Ferguson ' Cat we may best judge
her pa-er. Tue audience was familiar
wiih the selection and with ber presenta
tion, yet the success was no less on the
second than on the first renoition. This
testifies to higu talent aud elocutionary
art nothing less. Her last selec ion was
one of special interestince it was arranged
by a g tleman of this city, and contained
a number of local L its that ian ly c nvulsed
the audience. It is se do in th t a par ici

Every thing at this point remains quiet
No attempt has been made to-day to mov e
any train, though the report early this
morning that such an etfort would be
made created much excitement and in
terest. The striken as a rule, remain away
from th railroad premises, tne main por
tion of tbem being about the streets of the
city. Thf re was a tendency whm it was
reported that the trains were to be moved
to go to the yards, but the leaders aud
cooler heada among the strikers prevented
it by advising the men to remain away,

sent here to-day for the insertion in to-morrow's
daily papers of an advertisement for

reception it will meet with seems to be an
open )Ustion.
The Bazoo jut now is in great demand
at this point owing t ita full reports of the
situation from all points as well as from
Sedalia, the recognized head center of the
strike. The late interview of Governor
Martin, by the Kansas City Times r porter,
ia the subject of mm h comment, and, while
many regard it as a very diplomatic docu
ment i non-committal, others see in it an
outspoken sentiment which they interpret
to suit their own peculiar views. It is pos
itively asserted that an effort will be made
all along the line to morrow to move
trains, and - ne thing which

One prominent leader, however, said to
the Bazoo man, " 1 am satiti?d the out
come of this strike rests with the people
and busines men of the country. We are
not loolihh enough to believe we can suc
ceed without the aid, sympathy and en
couragement, but if they are sincere in their
long and loud complaint against the
grinding railro d monopolies and es
p nally the Gould sysieiu, they are bound
to sustain us, and if they do we are cer
tain to kill the evil they complain of and
bi ing it to reason and u-rms. ' Of course
like every issue ever yet brought up, this
one has its two sides, and both sides has its
adherent- here. Among business men
there seems to prevail a disposition to
stigm tize the strike as unnecessary, un
called lor and an ira mitigated evil, both to
the strikers and the public, and especially
to ihe business interests, but on the othe
hand ihe labar element, a hile admitting
i s hard.-hips and ill effects, cla m that it is
a necessary evil to eradicate a greater

evidence of his ability to pay. He then
sta ed that he had been employed in the
railroad shops at Thayer, and had mt
wi h an accident whereby be hd badly in
jured his foot; that he had an accident
insurance policy and was obliged to come
to this city to we a physician and have his
claim adjusted. He exhibited letters -nd
papers which tended to convince the un
suspecting landlord that be was all right,
an d he waa accordingly received as
a i nest of the bonne. He remained
about two weeks and never missed
a meal. He waa a slick talker and having
a rath-r pleasing address, man -ged to in
sinuate himself into the good graces of the
other bvarders. He tdked freely of his
railroad experience and said that he was
at one time in charge of the shop at Jeffer

suggested, he aaked for further time. The
