The action of the board was telegraphed to Governor Marmaduke. The trial of Aiderman Jaehne. on a charge of bribery, has been fixed for the 12th of next moatb. St. Louts, March 25. -The expectation which grew into serious apprehension about noon to-day, that switchmen in the yards of the railroads centering in East St. Louis would go out this after noon, crystallzed into a solid fact at 3. p. m., when all the engines in the yards set up a shrill and prolonged whistling, and all the men walked out. Some of the roads will attempt to move trains to morrow, and a good deal of apprehen sion is felt, as it is well known that, aside from the fact that the police force of East St. Louis is small and therefore weak, there is a large sympathizing element tn the place and it would be an easy thing to resist either the city or county authorities. Palestine, March 25.—Sheriff Davis and deputies to-day arrested K. F. Mar lhall, Hamp Barry, and W.

Mr. Powderly went to Kansas Citv and you know the result. Now. since Mr. Hoxie has refused to negotiate with our chief representative, we are In favor of using all the reservis of our organization to sustain eur people in their demands for recognition at the hands of the railroad corporations.” Littlk Kock. March 25.—Governor Hughes to-day Issued a proclamation ex pressing the regret of all good citizens at the condition of affairs precipitated by the strike, which has caused the suspen sion of freights over the St. Louin and Iroa Mountain road throughout Kansas, and warning all persons not to interfere with trains or the property of the com pany.

A jury of inquest was at once impan eled and proceeded to the place. The box was opened. In lieu, however, of the body of a child being there, it was discovered that it contained the decom pesed remains of a dog, wrapped In a towel for a shroud. The jury returned crestfallen, and Justice Crawford is de bating whether be ought to charge the county for the inquest or not. The ju rors want their fees. Governor Ireland's Proclamation. Austin, March 25. —Governor Ireland to-day issued the following proclama tion touching the strike: Whereas, It has been made known to me that disturbances and violations of law are of frequent occurrence on va rious lines of railroads In this State; that trains conveying freight and passengers are interfered with by persons having no connection with the road; that bridges have been burned, spikes have been withdrawn and tracks derailed to the great detriment of commerce and travel and the placing of life In great peril. It is said that this condition of affairs on the railway lines has been brought about by the organization known as the Knights of Labor, and that the persons engaged in these lawless deeds are members of that order. Whether this Is true or not, it is hardly creditable that thia order, or the best elements of it. can countenance flic vio lation of law mentioned. Employes have the unquestioned moral and legal right to quit the services of their em ployers whenever their employment is not remunerative and satisfactory, pro vided such action does not violate their contract; but when they quit and sever their relations, It is the duty of .those quiting to get out of the way aad leave any others who may wish to take the service abandoned free to do so. In timidation of, or interference with per sons desiring to work is a gross violation of the rights of freemen, and can not be tolerated In a free government. Now. therefore. 1. John Ireland, gov ernor of Texas, do hereby issue this, my proclamation, warning ail persons, who ever they may be, engaged in any said unlawful acts, that they are entailing on themselves disaster and ruin, and that offended and outraged justice must sooner or later overtake and punish them unless they promptly cease their lawlessness. I no not undertake to say who these lawless persons are, or who is right in the controversy, but viola tions of law and a disregard for the rights of the people cannot be justified or excused. 1 appeal to the law-abiding people throughout the State to aid the civil officers in restoring order and In executing the laws, and in discounte nancing in every way possible this ab normal condition. I respectfully appeal to all civil officers. Judges. Sheriffs, Con stables and city officials to make use of all means given them by law to restore order, with the assurance that every power of the State, if lawfully invoked, will be used to enforce the law. A Bucking Horse. Yesterday afternoon Miss Fulton, of Pittsburg, who has been staying at the Menger Hotel for some days past, me’ with an accident. She was mounted on a spirited horse, the property of Carter Mullnly, and while proceeding over Alamo plaza, the horse commenced ‘‘bucking” and the girth-strap giving way. Mi.s Fulton jumped to the ground, spraining her leg. She was taken to the hole! in a hack and is contined to her bed. To the Citizens of the Fourth Ward. Having been honored with the nomi nation for Alderman of the Fourth Ward by the mass meeting held on last Saturday evening, at Mission Garden, I desire herewith to express my sincere thanks for the confidence reposed in me, and to announce myself willing to ac cept the candidacy, promising, if elected, to perform the duties of the of fice as conscientiously in the future as I have done in the past.

A Desperate Midnight Fight With A Gang of Burglars. B|m-cI«1 to the Light. Jkfekrhox, Texas, March 25.—A sys tematic and well organized gang of bur glars have been operating here far the last six months. Merchants have been robbed of goods in a manner to doeredit to the most skillful house-breakers, leav ing scarcely u trace behind. This morn ing at 3 o'clock Watchman Taylor dis covering a light in the store of Rosen field, on Walnut street, aroustd two men who were sleeping In that part of the city and sent for the proprietors of the store. The thieves hud gained an en trance through the upper story of the building, which was occupied by Frank Perry ns an office. On the arrival of Max Rosenfield and Harry Rosenthal, the owners of the establishment. It was found that the burglars were still in the store at work, but they very soon discovered that they’ were de tected and ran down the stairs leading from Perry's office At the foot of the steps they met Rosenfield and Rosenthal and opened lire on them with a double barrel gun, which they had stolen (Join the store, and loaded. Rosen field was nearest the scoundrels and barely escaped with bis lite, but a large portion of the load of shot of the first barrel struck Rosenthal in the face, in flicting severe, if not fatal, wounds. The shot were what are known as squirrel shot. After tirieg both barrels of the gun, the miscreants started to run along the sidewalk towards R. R. Torrey's store, and were tired on several times by two men, whom Watchman Taylor hail summoned to aid him. It Is supposed that one of the robbers was woundeu, ns he fell on the walk and made exclama tions as if he was hurt. There were two men engaged In the robbery, both mak ing theirescape. They carried off the gun but one of the men who left his list and a Colt's revolver, by which it Is hoped they can be identified. On entering the store thia morning, it was discovered that they had bundled up an assortment of goods of all kinds, silks, laces, shoes, etc., amounting to $5OO, and were in the act of hoisting them through the hatch way when discovered. The goods were taken here and there over the stock and without leaving any sign of the robber. The merchants of this city, many of whom have been sufferers from this gang of thieves, are determined to ferret tbe matter and place the ablest detec tives on the scent. A Cruel Deception. Mr. Joe P. Devine, who has one of the finest stock ranches in the West, situ ated 15 miles north ef this city, is al ways alive Io all the new methods ap pertaining to his business, ready to give them all and fair trial. A few months ago he saw an advertise ment of a stump exterminator, and as he had a large number of the mighty ob structions lie has great pride in neat ness. he determined to give it a trial. He sent his money for it and paid tbe ex press charges. It was a chemical prepa ration to be introduced in tbe stump by an augur hole, and then in a short time tlie stump was to burn like a tender, not leaving the semblance of a root. I'he directions were followed, and after wait ing the proper time fire was set to the stumps, but not a spatter or a blaze did it emit. More dry trash was applied, and still no burn. Thea it was thought best to split the top a little to give the tire a foothold, and the axe struck solid rock, and a discovery was made. In stead of tbe wood being made more com bustible it had been petrified, and Joe now has a field of petrified stumps for a time indefinitely. He has lost much faith in improved methods of getting rid of stumps. She Robbed Him. Captain Hughes has worked up a very clear case against Mary Clark, a colored lady of easy virtue oa Wednesday about midnight. She robbod a Frenchman named Paul of $313 in currency. The victim reported the matter to the police, and Captain Hughes soou ascertained that shortly after the robbery the woman called in a wWte man named Ed. John son to count tbe money, she being igno rant. Johnson, while counting the meney, slipped two one-hundred dollar bills from the roll, and the balance tbe woman hid under a rock, throwing the pocket-book away. Both Johnson and the woman Clark are in jail, and the whole of the money has been secured. Served at Confession. Bishop John C. Neraz, of this Catholic diocese, was served with a writ of in junction sent from Comal County this morning. While this writ was served the holy father was engaged in receiving confessions from some penitents. An Insane Man. An insane man named H. Singer was arrested this morning on Houston street by Officers Wilkin and Harris, of the police force, in front of Messrs. Guen ther A Zadich’s store, and conveyed to the bat cave from whence he was trans ferred to the county jail. A writ of lunacy has been served upon him, and he will be tried before Judge Wurzbach this afternoon at 3 o'clock. When ar rested Singer wore a handsome suit of clothes, a gold watch and chain and gold sleeve buttons, but had very little money. He was raving in a very in coherent style and attracted considera ble attention and pity from passers. It has since been learned by City Marshal Shardein that Singer is from Kyis, whence he came this morning. He has friends here who wish to remove him to Kyle, and this will probably be done Married. Mr. Paul Flato, agent ‘of the Southern Pacific Railway at Del Rio, came in yes terday en a very mysterious errand. He first consulted with Mr. T. A. Conner, of tbe Wells Fargo's Express office, who is a newly married man, get some advice from him and then together they re paired to the residence of Rev. Dr. Scudder and proceeded with that gen tleman to the residence of Conductor Straw, and in a few moments that gen tleman's charming daughter,Miss Mamie Straw, was congratulated by the little party as Mrs. Flato. Dr. Scudder per forming the marriage ceremony in his neatest and best style. Paul Is a de serving young man, is an old employe of the Southern Pacific Railway, and withal a gentleman in every respect. He richly deserves bis good fortune. —The only cigarettes which do not stick to the lips are Opera Puffs. COME AND SEE OUR Immense Display of EARLY SPUING NOVELTIES.

Austin Statesman: I’he .object of gov ernment is protection of life and prop erty. The special purpose of this Amer ican republic of ours is the utmost lib erty to the individual. If therefore, one class Is protected and another is not. government fails of its mission, and our taxes arc paid in vain.

President Cleveland passed his forty ninth mile-post on the ISth inst. None but Gen. Grant, besides the President, ever passed that post In the office of President. Old age is held, as a rule, important to accumulated experience and knowledge and wisdom. All the Presidents but three before Mr. Cleve land were past fifty, and five past sixty, when they entered the White House. The municipal election in Houston has reached a fever heat seldom attaiaed In this country. The attempted assas sination of Mayor Baker, a candi date for re-election. cannot fail to meet condemnation at the hands of a>l well disposed persons, whether politically supporting or opposing that gentleman. Assassination is an element in politics altogether foreign to American ideas, and should be stamped out in a manner to give a warning against its use. Washington Critic: Democrats in the House who object to the Blair Educa tional bill because it originated with a Republican Senator and has been passed by a Republican Senate, stand very much in their own light as well as In the light of those whom the measure is In tended to benefit. It Is In no sense a partisan bill, but there are a good many sections of the country where at the next Congressional elections, if killed in the House, it will play the part of a very lively and-disagreeable corpse.

In 1877 I was admitted to the hos pital. The doctors said 1 had a bole in my lung as big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that 1 was dead.

The exiwrience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated the in eWclency of quinine and other drugs to effect unity combat the progress of intermittent, congestive and bilious remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frailest constitution, and de rived from purely botanic sources, affords a reliable safe guard against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disorders of the stomach, liver and Isiwels, lor general debility and renal Inactivity, It is also a most eincieiit remedy. Appetite and sleep are Im proved by it. It expels rheumatic humors from the blood, and enriches* circulation impover ished by mal-assiinilation. Edison's Latest. j Written for the Light. Edison's latest seems by no means to be his least. The sending and receiving messages from a moving train is of great er Importance than nt first appears. Hereafter it will not matter how far ofi is the telegraph station, the flying train can be overtaken and cotnaanicated I with. An accident is immediately re ported nnd assistance dispatched. A refugee Is baited nnd apprehended. The conductor receives orders and sends bis reports to his superior officers moving over the ground at the rate of fifty miles an hour. In a few months railroad men will not be able to run trains without it, and wonder how It was that the old fogies could get along with a telegraph station only every ten or fifteen miles. Another pleasant* feature is that it will relieve the overcrowded ranks of idle telegraph operators An operator will be a necessary officer of a passenger train next to the conductor himself. The world moves. The next appliance will be a telephone on a train, and a du tiful husband will Inform his loving partner at home that he is coming, and to have his slippers and dressing gown ready. Or the traveling wife will talk back to her disconsolate husband and give a list of the innumerable little things to forward that had been for gotten in the hurried departure. There are a thousand little uses that a tele phone on a moving train could be put to. and there is little doubt of their applica tion for that purpose in the near future. But this telegraphing by induction is to be carried still farther than on moving railroad trains. Vessels in mid-ocnao will be able to talk to each other for a distance of 25 miles. Their proximity can be discovered by the instrument be fore they cau be seen. This will be through the medium of charged balloons. In tlie high, light air induction is much easier than near the earth. When near ing each other the operator will hear a buzzing sound and will figuratively hail "Ship aboy Where from and where bound ami then will open a regular conflab. Oue will say “Quien saba!” and the other will say, “Was sagst du One will beg a cigarette, while the other orders zwei glass laager. But farther yet will this telegraphing be extended. Whea the air ships float about in the skies like buzzards, telegraphing from one to the ether, will be the regular means of communication, and being higher than the little balloons from ocean steamers, the communicable dis tance will be much extended, probably to a hundred miles. Truly, the specu lative possibilities of science is wonder ful. H. San Antonio Should Central This Trade. A gentleman recently returning from a trip to the counties north of this city noticed increased activity in agriculture, much new ground being broken, and a large amount of machinery employed. But one thing struck him very forcibly, and that was that nearly all the imple ments bad been purchased in Austin instead of San Antonio, the natural trading point for that section. It is a known fact that Austin has a much larger sale in agricultural implements than San Antonio. That is not surpris ing, as its immediate surroundings is more agricultural, but that do,s not furnish a good reason for farmers in this section going there to get their ma chinery. The only good excuse that they can give for so doing is that there is a larger variety to select from, and possibly cheaper. It lies within the means of San Antonio dealers to meet both these conditions. The Turner Hall Orchestra Has secured a first-class leader and is prepared to furnish first-class music at ail times.

The t hairman, (or Chief), Mr. Walter Scott, called the meeting to order at 8 p. m. He addressed the clan as follows: hieftlans. and Brother Clansman. ••It is but two months to-night since I called you together to celebrate the an niversary of the birth of Boby Burns, the scotlsh poet, you responded and be fore separating from honoring tbe day and the occasion, some one proposed that we establish a Caledonia Club in this city. In less time than I have been in telling you. the table was covered with 1G silver dollars. Officers were elected and the club was born. 1 have again called Jou together to-night to endorse what you have already begun. In baptizing the Caledonia Club *by adopting the by-laws and constitution for the better working and regulation of the same. With the faces 1 see around me to-night, I am convinced we will start out with such a list of charter members that we will create a new era in the bistorv;of Scotchmen in the Alamo City.” The Secretary then rend the minutes of the last meeting and they were adopt ed. The names of ail the mt tubers were read. New members were then in order,when 11 new names were added to the list and paid for. ’The next in ordei was a com mittee on constitution and by-laws. Tbe chief then rose a» Chairman of that com mittee, and said: “Brother Clansman, the duties imposed on your committee have been earnestly and faithfully car ried out after working every night till midnight, and often later, we have brought our labors to a clo e. and they are now before you for your considera tion and adoption.” I lie clul> then went into a committee of I lie whole, when the Secretary of Ilie committee rend aloud the constitution, which on motion was adopted. 'The next business was the election of officers for the ensuing year. Ibe Sec retary then read tlie names of 47 paid up charter m» mliera. The 'Treasurer reported $35 in the treasurj’ after all billshave been paid. A cmnmillee was appointed on charter and seal. 'The fthief. Treasurer and D. J.

Love, the Analytical Chemist for the Government, has made some intereslsng experiments as to the comparative value of baking powders. Dr. Love’s tests were made todetermine what brands are the most economical lo use. and as their capacity lies in their leavening power, teats were directed solely to ascertain the available gas of each powder. Dr. Love’s report gives the following: St rengih Name of the it hie ineht-s Gas Rakiug I’owtlt-i- per each oil nee of Powder •‘Royal” (absolutely pure; 127.4 “Batapsco” (alum powder) 125.2* “Rumford's” (phosphate) fresh 122 5* “Rumford’s” (phosphate) old. 32.7* “Hanlord's None Such." fresh 121.6 ‘'Hanford's None Such,’’ old 84.35 “Redhead's" 117.0 “Charm” (alum powder) 116.9* “Amazon" (alum powdar) 111.9* •‘Cleveland s" (contains lime).... 110.8 “Sea Foam” 107 9 “Czar" 106 8 “Dr. Price’s” (contains lime) 102 G “snow Flake”(Groff’s St. Paul.. 101.88 “Lewis’s” Condensed 98.2 “Congress” yeast 97.5 “C.

Phosphate and Tar taric Acid powders liberate their gas too freely in process of baking, or under varying climatic changes sutler deterio ration.” Dr. H. A. Mott, the former Govern ment chemist, after a careful and elab orate examination of the various Baking Powders of commerce, reported to the Government in favorof the Royal brand. Professor McMurtrie, late chief chem ist for tbe United States Government at Washington, says The chemical tests to which 1 have submitted the Royal Baking Powder, prove It perfectly healthful and free from every deleterious substance.” —The most popular cigarettes are the Opera Putt's at popular prices. 4-7-l-Bys Rare Business Opportunity.

The increase of the police force by tbe addition of six patrolmen, will probably be received by the people generally with as much favor as the increase of expen ses could possibly be for any purpose, as it is probably as badly needed as any. The protection of life and property Is one of the very tirat and most ini)>ortHnt duties of the government, and the police force is the direct means through which it is to be obtained. The tax-pay ers on the outskirts have as much claim for protection as have those in the center of the city, but with an inadequate force it is Impossible to furnish it to them. This increase gives only three additional patrolmen to each relief, and double that number could be easily employed and then leave much territory uncov ered. A Reliable Article.
