RAILROAD STRIKERS, j!
MATTERS ASSUMING A SERIOUS CHAR- !
ACTER IN TEXAS.
••Bring a Box Along to Bury Yourself In,
or Be Buried Without a Box, for You
Will Not l.ive to •■>«.«* an Mngine Out
of the Yard”—All Strikes.
Palestine, Tex., March 12.—The railroad
company has notified Sheriff Davis, iindai
affidavit, that the company’s property and
rights are being jeopardize*!, and that the
county will lie held responsible for all dam
age done to the same. The shops, engines,
etc*.., are now in charge of the sheriff and his
deputies, and freight trains are being sent
out under their protection. The strike is lie
coining very warm at this point City Mar
shal Rogers, who h<is been prominently con
nected with this affair, acting as deputy un
der Sheriff Davis, received the following
ing letter Tuesday, dated Marshall, but post
marked Palestine:
“Djcaii SiU: It is understood here
that your are to come liere and take
trams out of this yard for the company, if
you attempt any such wo warn you to bring
a box along to be buried in or you will l»e
buried with'nit a box, for if you attempt
moving or guarding trains out of this town
you will never live to see the engine out.
“Yours truly,
“Three Hundred Strikers." j
The temper of the strikers here is ugly and i
even dangerous Not a single man has given >
in and every sign points to serious trouble j
ahead. The usual j>atient bearing of the
men has given way to a feeling of despera
tion and bitter hatred of th railroads. They
are receiving assistance from unknown
sources.
Becoming Critical.
Dennison, Tax . March 12.—-The strike at
Monterey was relic veil of the presence of
Sheriff Douglas. He, with an engineer and
fireman, took a switch engine from the round j
house and proceeded up town. At Main i
street about fifty strikers st.*>d oir the t rack. !
The engine stopped and the crow jumped off. |
The sheriff read the riot act, which was !
cheered by th "> boys. While this was goiug
on, alterations were made in the engine’s ma- i
chinery which virtually kiln'd her. Sheriff j
Douglass got • off and took the
first train home to Sherman. The mayor j
was called on to prevent interference
with the company’s business. Ho i
called the city coun • 1 together and a secret
session was hold. If was decided that the
city had no right to interfere. The exeeu- j
tive commit i ■ say they are prepared to hold ;
out six months if necessary. It is reported
by the strike leaders that the strike is a cold j
blooded scheme of a syndicate to so depreci- j
ate the stock of the leased lines that they may !
•‘scoop ’em up” and become the owners when
everything will l>e restored to the old basis.
Ireland's l reclamation.

.Detectives Denied,
St. Louis, March 12.—Mayor Rickman, of
Sedalia, refuses to swear in the squad of j
Pinkerton detectives imported thence from ■
Chicago. He claims that the police author!- I
ties o! ih'* i i v of Sedalia are able and wall
ing fco veuße any war ran lei or writs placed

counter occurred in the regular luoninly
meeting of the city council bet ween A.d*»r- j
men Mike Moran and Tom Riley, which ere- (
ated a first-class censation wnsaLon and

just cougbt a new engine for the fire depart
ment, made by the Silsby Manufacturing
Company.
Alderman Kilev, chairman of the
committee on file and water, op-
and Moran favored
him. 80, when the engine arrived,

plated inscription on It, reading: “Mike Mo
ran, alderuuuA t«na*. v TVii ► rutu\ t - Rifi-v
hot, and he made a savage attack on Moran,
accusing him of corruption, calling him a
drunkard, ami stating that he ought to be in
the penitentiary. Leaping over to Morans
seat, he caught him by the collar, and was
about to strike him, when other councilman
interfered and quelled the riot, while Mayor

Omaha, Neb., March 12. A syndicate' of

QUAKER PROPHECY.
The Strange Vision of Joseph Hoag Liter
ally True.
Keokuk, 10., March 12.—There is a large
Quaker settlement at Salem, !o Years ago
Joseph Hoag was of their number. He was
blessed wif i the gift of visions and the Qua
kers had great faith iu him. The most
worthy of these vision.-, was one hap- '
pening in South Carolina, in IMM. In
it was imparted to Joseph Hoag the
knowledge of the coinin' war in the i
church and that of the rebellion* Mon
archial ferm of govemme *r founded on re
ligion, and the after * > a e vet to come.
Copies of this vision are cvref.iily preserved
by most every Quaker family in the vicinity i
of Salem. From oue of those copies, which i
the owner declares to have been in his pos- !
session for over thirty years, was secured the
prophecy. It is as follows:
“In the year 1802, probably in the eight op
ffinth month, I. was one day alone in the field,
and I observed the sun shone clear, but a mist j
eclipstxl the brightness of its shining. As 1 j
reflected on the .singularity of the event my
mind was clothed with silence, the most sol
emn I over remember. My faculties were
laid low and unusually brought into silence.
I said to myself, ‘What can all this means
l do not remember ever to have beep sensible
j of such feelings, and I hoard a voice from
heaven .saying: ‘This that thou sqest, that
inns the brightness of the sun, is a sign of a
present and coming time. 1 took the fathers
of this country from tee land of oppression.
I planted them here among forests. 1
Slossed them and sustained them, and i
while they were humble I fed them and 1
they became a numerous people, but they J
aow have become proud and lifted up j
Mid have forgotten me who nourished and I
protected them, and are running into every
Abomination and evil practice which the old !
country was guilty of, and taking quietude j
from the land, mid have suffered a tli\ filing j
ipirit to come among them. Lift lip thine j
eyes and behold. 1 saw them dividing in !
great haste. This division began in tho j
I church on the points of doctrine. It com- ]
mended with tho Presbyterian society, went i
hrough various religious denominations and
Its progress and close wore nearly the same,
riiose who divided went off with high heads
ind taunting language, and those who
kept original sentiments appeared exercised
and sorrowful, and when tho dividing spirit
mtered the Society of Friends it raged in as
aigh a degree as in any I have before de
wribed, and, as before, those who separated
went with lofty looks and taunting, eensui v
ing language; those who kept ancient princi
ples retired to themselves.
“It next appeared iu the lodges of free
nasons, and set tho country in an uproar for
' i long time. Then it entered politics through
! >ut the United States, and it did not stop un
| Jl it produced a civil war, and abundnuceof
i Mood was shed iu tho course of the combat.
The fourteen states lost their power, and
slavery was annihilated from their borders.
“Then a monarchial government arose and
established a nation of religion, and mado all
•societies tributary to support its expenses. I
was amazed at beholding all this, and 1 heard
i voice proclaim, ‘Tli is power shall not al
ways stand, but with this power will 1 ebas
;iso my ctfurch until they return to wn? faith
'ulness of their forefftth'-r >. Thou seeat what
s coming in thy native land for their iniqui
ties and the blood of Africa, tho remembrance
>f which has corne up before me. This vision
s yet for many days.”
The Fatal Havunim.
New Orleans, March 12.—The funeral of
Win. Casey, a well-to-do Irishman, who had
ivod in this city for forty-eight years, has
akon place. The cause of his death was a
•ancer in the mouth, caused the doctors cor
;ify, by smoking Havanna cigars. The dis
ease affected him for several months, and he
was a great sufferer, lie was for years an
incessant cigar smoker, always using the best
imported brands. He was advised some time
igo to smoko domestic cigars of a certain
urayd in place of the high-priced Cuban arti
•le, the former being made by young girls,
while it was known that in Havauna some of
die most exjxirt cigar-makers wore unclean
Chinese. The doctors who attended Mr.
Jasey declare there was nothing poisonous in
;he tobacco itself and that his system must
have boon inocculated by disease transmitted
ity the cigar-maker. This case is analogous
kj that of the late Senator Hill, of Ga., und
ilso of Gen. Gi ant.
Bol*l Swindle™.
Cleveland, March 12.—While J A. Vin-
Msnt, retired merchant, vvas looking after the
tenants of some property, he was mot by a
genteel-looking, middle-aged man, who said
he wanted to rent a house, and asked Vin
;ent to accompany him home, where he
would consult his partner. Upon arriving
they were met by another man, who said he
was engaged in a lottery scheme, and, with
out further ado, he proceeded to shuffle some
ftards which he had in his hand. He then
turned one of them over and announced to
Vincent that he had drawn a prize of $20,-
XX). He then said in order to secure his prize
Vincent would be required to deposit $20,000
equivalent for the prize. Vincent , who is very
feeble-minded, drew his check on the Com
mercial National bank for S2O,(XX). Friends
jot wind of the scheme and stopjxxl payment
M the check. The men, it seems, had an in
timation of tho proceedings, and did not
present tho check, but left town, ami have
not been heard of since.
reunion Frauds.
Philadelphia, Pa, March 12.—-CoL Nor
ris, the United States pension agent in this
city, is engaged with his assistants in investi
gating alleged frauds in his office under his
predecessor, Gen. Horatio G. Sickels. The
mvestiga! ion so far shows that the govern
ment has lieon defrauded out of $20,000. The
principal rogue is Thomas Lawrence, who
was sentenced to four years in the penitenti
ary last Friday, and his alleged accomplice,
W. S. Fries, wno is under indictment await
ing trial. Lawrence has been iu the habit of
drawing the quarterly allowances of deceased
pensioners and those who were cut oil’ from
the beneficiary roll by reason of marriage.
Gen. fifickels was deceived in Lawrence, whom
he believed to be strictly honest. Tiie general
recognizes the fact that he is responsible ou
his bond for the defalcation.

The Russian government, in *toply to in
j quiries by Earl Granville, minister of foreign '
affairs, admits that the advance of the Rus
sian column in Afghanistan has not l>eeu
checked, but assorts that the movement is !
not intended as a menace to England, that;
tho troops have been pushed ;
farther south in order that they j
may reach a more suitable position
for camping purposes. These evasive state
ments from St. Petersburg are lcolfod upon
in diplomatic circles in London as bare
; faced attempts to gain time. All confidence
j appears to be destroyed by tho latest Russian
i dispatches, and war is now looked upon as ;
! certain. The most active military preparar
j tions are in progress both in Ei gland and |
j India, and t roops are being hurrh d forward J
j by both sides with a haste which leaves no
i room for doubt as to tho critical turn
which negotiations have taken in the
| past twenty-four hours. It is rumored in
I some quarters that parleying between
England and Russia has already ceased, and
that nothing remains now but war. As a re
sult of the startling war nows, nearly all
securities show a decline. Consols have
fallen one per cent, and Russian bonds two
l>or cent.
Germany and Kurland.
Berlin, March 12.—Count Herbert Bis
marck, \\ no was sent ou a special niission to
Granville for the purpose of settling disputes
between Germany and England, growing out
of the respective claims totheOamerooiis, has
returned to Berlin. He was closeted for some
time with Lis father, the chancellor, and
oilier memb ; s of tho German ministry. The
count'; mission has been successful beyond
the widest expectations, and diplomatic cir
cles are all agog at tho brilliant maimer in
which the young diplomat carried out tho in-
Htructions given him, and tho successful and
highly favorable concessions arrived at. As
a result of tho conference with Granville,
England conceded to Germany the part of
Bota, and abandons all claims to the terri
tory extending from said port to the right
bank of Vis Del Ray bay. Germany also
secures the whole cauieroous, with the ex
ception of Victoria, to which place she bad
already wired England’s claim was never
questioned. England agrees to maintain
neutrality In tlie territory lying between tho
Rio Del Ray and Nayboosa, and iu no way
disturb the native rights thereto. Germany,
on her part, concedes territory lying be
tween Lugos and Rio Del Ray to England.

Female Strikers.
Madrid, March 12.—An attempt to intro
duce cigar manufacturing machines into
some of the largo factories resulted in a se
rious riot. Five thousand female cigar
lakers struck work and made so violent a
demonstration that it was found necessary to
call out the police to preserve the peace. The
female strikers, however, attacked the po
lice. Besides pelting them with stones, they
used knives freely. Over twenty policemen
are dangerously wounded. The rioters finally
drove tlie police from the ground, and the
military were .summoned to quell tho dis
turbance.
A New Taper.
New York, March 12. —ln an item recently
published in several papers in this city it
was stated thero were projectors of an ad
ministration organ who bought the press and

gentlemen who propose publishing tho Daily
Telegraph, a-thoroughly independent papier,
and will advocate the policy of protection to
American industry. It will be under the
editorial management of Mr. Sanial, corres
ponding secretary of the association of
American economists, with the assistance of
Dr. lid ward Young and other well known
writers of Washington and New York. The
first number of tho Daily Telegraph- is ex
pected to appear on or alxjut April 4.

ployes, was exposed in a sleeping car iu

Keport Repudiated.
Ottawa, Ont., March 12.—Members ol
the government deny that there is any truth
in the statement published to the effect that
they had decided upon a measure for the re
lief of the Canadian Pacific railway, by
which it was proposed that the government
remove the lien they hold on the road for an
advance of $80,000,000 made by a loan last

the Torontx Mail, the government organ,
and it was generally supposed that the arti
cle had been inspired by JSir John McDonald,
which, however, the latter repudiates.

' that by tho driver’s carelessness she was

time, and it is claimed she had much infiu- ;
ence with the officials. It is also said she was i
much admired by President Johnson, and she !
herself says she might have “R en ft vice i
president’s wife” but for false accusa;.ions ;
brought against her. The jury, after twenty
minutes’ deliberation, returned a verdict for j
