SATURDAY. MARCH 27. I 886. THE OLD OLD STORY. A Pretended Draft of a Secret Cir cular—Powderly Interviewed. No Change In the Situation Trouble Feared at East St. Louis—Washing ton Doings—Texas Tattle Foreign Terrors—Gulf Gossip. Etc. •St. Louis. March 20.—General, what purports to be a long secret circular from Master Workman Powderly, is in the hands of the press of this city. After dwelling at length up on the situation, Mr. Powderly concludes ‘‘one of two things must take place Either local or district assemblies of the order must obey its laws, or 1 must be permitted to resign from the position which obliges me to play one part before the public and another to our members. I say to the world that the Knights of Labor do not approve of or encourage strikes, and in one day dispatches come to me to coma to Troy. N. Y„Manchester, N. H.. Chicago, Cincinnati. Lynchburg, Va.. Springfield, 0., and Montreal. It Is Im possible for human nature to stand the strain any longer. 1 must have the as sistance of the order, or my most earn eat efforts will fail. Will i have it? If so. strikes must be avoided. Those who boast must be checked by their assem blies. No move must be made until the last resort has been appealed to. Threats of violence must not be made. Assem bly politicians must be hushed or driven out. Obedience to the laws of Knight hood must have supremacy over those of any other order. In our members we require secresy, obedience, assistance, patience and 'courage. If with these aids you strengthen my hands, 1 will continue in the work. I'f you do not de sire to assist me in this way, then select a man better qualified to do your will, ami I will retire in his favor.” A committee of three of the striking Wabash railroad Knights of Labor, called upon the chairman of their Exec utive Committee this afternoon, in formed him that they had struck and requested him to tell them as to the proper course to pursue The chairman said they they had no just cause for a strike, and advised them to return to work immediately. The committee then returned to the meeting of Wabash men, then in session, which, alter dis cussing the situation, decided to follow the chairman’s advice and return to work. The situation in East St. Louis this morning is becoming serious. Yard masters of the different roads have been attempting all the morning to make up and start out freight trains hut they have in ever} instance been prevented from currying out their designs by the striking switchmen, who aie using all means at their dispjsal to make the freight blockade in that city complete. Coupling pins are removed from their positions, trains become separated, switches are removed and trains run upon wrong tracks and. in some in stances, the yardinasters have been for cibly restrained in theirertorts to resume freight traffic. No serious trouble lias as yet occurred, but it is understood that officers of tiie law will be called upon to-day to preserve order and property, and a conflict between them and the strikers is expected. Tins afternoon, acting in accordance with an order from the Knights of La bor Executive Committee, the city union depot shopmen, consisting of hostlers, wipers, machinists and blacksmiths, threw down their to"ls and quit work. These men have no grievances against their employers. Application has been made at Spring field, 111., to Judge Treat, of the United States Court, authorizing Deputy Mar shals to protect the Wabash property in East St. Louis. Washington, March 26. Senator Hoar Introduced a bill providing for inquests under national authority. The bill, which Mr. Hoar said was suggested by the recent massacre at Carrollton, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Edmunds' resolution, relative to the right of Congress to demand the Presi dent’s reasons for removals from office, came up and was warmly discussed, In galls. Logan, Harrison and then Ed munds reviewing the whole question and contending that the two houses of Congress had a right to see papers affect ing the business of the Government. In the course of his summary. .Mr. Edmunds said “If you take out of this very pres ence the influence of executive patron age to be given to senators ami their friends, there would not be five votes in this chamber against the resolution.” In concluding his speech, the Senator said that the Republican party was in favor ot equal rights and fair play, and would try, in spite of Democratic oppo sition, to give to the labor of the people, which was the people’s capital, its wealth, that protection, encouragement and defense that was the right of labor, which was the capital of every honest workingman in the United States. The resolution of Senator Edmunds was adopted—yeas 32, nays 28. When asked what authority there was for the statement of Chairman Irons, of St Louis, published this afternoon to the effect that the strike would probably extend throughout the United States and include all Knights of Labor, regard less of occupation. Mr. Powderly re plied: Mr. Irons lias no authority whatever to make such a statement. That order can only come from the Ex ecutive Board. I may say that there is no danger whatever of any such order being issued at present. Where Knights of Labor are on terms of peace with their employers, their agreements and contracts must be lived up to. Scranton, Pa„ March 26.—General Master Workman Powderly, of the Knights of Labor, was called upon this afternoon by representatives of the As sociated Press, and in reply to the ques tion, “Is the strike in tbe South west likely to extend?” answered, "Most em phatically, no. Every strike must be contineu to the section in which it origin ated, and must be settled there. Atchison, Kan.,March 26.—The Cham pion has specials from forty-six towns on the Central Branch railroad, giving statements of supplies on hand. Twen ty-four correspondents report not a pound of coal and several no kerosene, flour or groceries. With few exceptions the coal supply In the remaining towns is almost out. Prices of everything have doubled. Fort Keogh, Mont., March 16.—A great prairie fire is raging on the Crow reservation. The fire, under the influ ence of a very strong wind, has already covered many miles of territory, and burned up thousands of tuns of uncut hay. Ver* Crcz, March 26.—Captain Joseph N. Willard, for many years United States Consul at this port, died to-day. Bvenos Ayres, March 26,—The Revo lutionists who are trying to invade the Republic of Uruguay have resolved to continue their military operations. Chicago, March 26.—Frank Mulkows ki, the Pole who brutally murdered Mrs. Agnes Kledziek last August, was hanged In the County jail yard, in this city, at 12:16 o'clock this afternoon. Liege, March 26,—The reign of terror continues here. The mob broke into a manufactory early last night and carried out its available contents Troops have been sent every where. This part of the kingdom is rapidly assuming the appear ance of being under military occupation. Salad*, Col., March 26.—The Windsor Hotel was completely destroyed by fire last night. The guests lost all their ef fects. Twenty-seven of the principal business Imuses and over one half their contents were also destroyed. The loss is $125,000; insurance, $45.0J0.’ Bussy, March 26.— A duel was fought on the field of Waterloo yesterday, the contestants being Mme. Valsnyre, a na tive of France, and Miss Shelby,an Amer ican. The duel was the result of a dis pute on the relative merits of French and American female doctors. The weapons were swords. Miss Shelby was slightly wounded on one arm. Four Worth. March 26.—News was re ceived here to-night that a lot of Co manche Indians, women, men and chil dren, numbering about 100, were at the mouth of Pease river, on the Btb in stant. and while there killed about 40 or 50 bead of cattle of various brands be longing close around in this country. Among ihe Indians were Wild Horse and Black Horse. After killing the cat tle. they moved down tin- river a short distance ami then went back to their camp on West Cache creek, burning the country as they went. The State Encampment of the G. A. R Commander J. P Newcomb has re turned from the state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic held at Dalias on the 24th and 25th inst., and gives a glowing account of the proceed ings and reception accorded the dele gates by their comrads and the citizens of that city. Colonel O. T. Lyons, of Sherman, the great lumber merchant of Northern iexas, was chosen commander ot tiie department for the ensuing year. Commander Lyons stands bigti in' the estimation of tiie people and ills splendid business qualifications will give the Grand Army an impetus throughout Texas. It being estimated that there are 7UOU ex-Federal soldiers now resi dents of Texas the expectation is that at the next state encampment the organi zation will number over a thousand strong. The start officers chosen to serve with Commander Lyons are well up to the work. The next state encampment will be held at Galveston, Colonel St. Clair, ot that city, being present as a delegate, captured the selection of that city by ins munificent otters of splendid entertainment. Colonel A. Belknap, of our city car ried ot the honors of being selected as the delegate to represent the department at the Grand National encampment at San Francisco, which will be the greatest and most notable assembly to be held on the con tinent during this year. Mr. Newcomb is of opinion that San Antonio will fol low Galveston as the place for the State encampment. The resolutions adopted in relation to the home tor ex-soldiers, to be endorsed by the Slate, seems to meet a beartyre spouse, and to the Grand Army is due the credit of inaugurating this move ment. A Colored Editor Mr. J. J. Hamilton, the colored editor and proprietor of the Austin Citizen, called at the Light office this morn ing. Mr. Hamilton is a native of Perry county, Tenn., and was born a slave, being owned by Widow Hamilton. His age is 47, and he has successfully run the above for five years. During tbe war lie came to Bastrop and superinten ded tbe salt works in Van Zandt county. After tbe close of the war, he went to Austin and opened tbe first colored school. In 1869, be was sent from Bas trop to represent that section in the Legislature under Governor Davis’ ad ministration, and was Corresponding Secretary of tbe Republican Convention of tbe Slate. The Citizen is a weekly, amt is a terse and vigorous journal. In politics it is Republican, but its main object is tbe elevation of tbe colored race. Mr. Hamilton has been married 17 years. Ho received tbe greater part of his education from Mrs. Hamilton, his former owner, and is a man of no mean intelligence. ’Ostler Joe. This evening, at Turner Hall, Mr. Cyril Searle presents Gilbert’s “Sweet hearts.” Mr. Searle, who visited us last year with his wife. Rose Eytinge, has played for 100 consecutive nights in New York in the same play. Tn addi tion to this play he will recite the pow erful poem by G. R. Sims, entitled “'Ostler Joe,” and the well-known “Charge of the Light Brigade,” with scenic effects. Recorder’s Court. Camil Solis, drunk, $5. Samuel Florea, using insulting lan guage, lined $5. Tomas Pena, striking, $5. Henry Hodge, a 9-year old boy, was tined $5 for striking a 10-year old girl with a stone. Mrs. Weltin, for using insulting lan guage, was dismissed. She Smiled on All A few evenings ago three gentlemen were sauntering up Alamo plaza, when suddenly appeared in a shop window an apparation of loveliness in the shape o a young lady lighting the gas. She smiled a broad, mischievous smile and quickly disappeared. Each one of the young men’s faces wore a complacent, satisfied look and lingering smile, and each one looked the other in the face and found tbe same look. A discussion then arose as for whom the lady’s smile was intended, each claiming that she had looked him directly in the eyes and smiled. At last they all concluded that her smile was like tbe mantle of charity should be, covered much ground and was intended for all. ARANSAS PASS ROAD. Progress Made—Will Get to Beeville Before May Ist It is claimed that the work on the Aransas Pass Railroad has been pushed forward at a greater speed than on any other Texas railroad since this road has really got tbe material ami tools on band, it is now being pushed forward at the rale of about a mile and a quarter a day. and unless bad weather or other unforeseen circumstances intervene, the track will reach Beeville before May 1, the date set. Regular passenger trains are now run to a side track four miles beyond tbe San Antonio River, and 52 miles from San Antonio, and passengers leaving San Antonio in the morning ar rive in Beeville by 8 o’clock the same day, the stage making close connections witli the trains both ways. 'I he track was laid 56 miles from this city last night, and tbe grading is nearly com pleted to Beeville. The road equipment has been contracted for. and all cars, coaches and engines will arrive as soon as they are required. Tbe equipment will be first-class in every respect. The town that will be laid out beyond the San Antonio River will be named Kene dy, but its exact location lias not yet been made. It is expected that at no distant day it will be tbe county seat of Karnes county, and an important ship ping point for Goliad. Yorktown and all that rich and populous section of coun try. Great Hall-Storm. .Messrs. F. Krisch and Jacob Weber, of this city, were caught in a terrific hail and rain-storm yesterday about 12 o’clock in Atascosa county, where they were in u post-oak bottom, about twen ty miles south of this city. Tliey heard the roaring of the storm some time be fore it reached them, and just had time enough to tie their horses securely to Ihe trees ere the storm burst. The gen tlemen aver the hail-stones were the size of poultry-eggs and fell In tremend ous quantity, beating themselves and their horses unmercifully. The rain fell in torrents, and every little creek and arroyo was found to be booming un til after they bad crossed the Medina, when the ground was found to be scarce ly dampened. STATE NEWS. Jeflerson tallies the first broked leg from base-ball recorded this season. Dallas County farmers have neat ly fin ished planting corn. Leas cotton and mere grain ami stock are being raised that of old. Paul Quin college for colored people, a Waco institution, send fortli tbe dis tress cry being in need of funds to carry on its work. Burglars got in their work at Potts boro Wednesday night. Reves Per kins grocery was raided, and a mail pouch taken from the office. McLean, Tucker and others on trial at .Sherman for taking property out of the Indian 'Territory unlawfully, have been discharged. The Paris, Marshall and Northwest ern Railroad lias raised $1,750,000 of the $2,000,000 required for that road, ami the rest will be forthcoming. Wickham’s saw mill at Queen Citv has been destroyed by fire, with 30,<i00’ feet of kiln dried lumber. The interest on school lands sold since Ireland took his seat as Governor is about $700,000. A Short Chapter on Sheep The poor, meek-eyed sheep have been catching it for several years, and the end is not yet. Several years ago, all a man bad to do was to be the reputed owner of a flock of sheep and his credit was un limited, and he was courted by the fair and the brave. But an evil day came, first in the reduction of the taritt on wool, amt once going down, everybody was ready with a rebuff and insult on tiie patient little animals. Now asheep man is almost shunned, as if he bad clinging to him some contagious pestilence. This is no light matter for Western Texas, as much of the grazing lands are mure es pecially adapted to sheep than any other class of live stock. Last spring prices of wool began to be arrested in their down ward tendency, and in tbe fall tbe ad vance was quite flattering, with a more flattering prospect for the spring trade. All this has disappeared. About six weeks ago the price began to decline, the alleged causes for which are various, tbe principal one being the disturbance of the labor question and tbe uncertain ty of tbe future. Now tbe prospects are quite gloomy, as there appears no hope for a recovery during the coming season at least. Besides, the low price of wool, the lambing season just ending has been a disastrous oue in many sections, and not really successful in any section. San Antonio is more interested In the welfare of this industry than any other place in the Southwest, and will directly feel the depressing Influence, as it is the princi pal headquarters of tbe sheepmen, as well as the wool market. Clara Louise Kellogg Tbe announcement that Miss Clara Lomse Kellogg will appear at Turner Hall baa aroused considerable enthu siasm, and tbe box office has been thronged all day to secure seats. Mi«s Kellogg has never visited Texas and the advent of this great artiste gives an op portunity in the musical world of San Antonio which should be universally embraced. Kingsbury reports farmers busy, crop prospects good, cattle sales lively, base ball booming and tbe little town dull. Beeville is booming over the prospect of the iron horse reaching that town as soon as tbe law allcws. Prospectors are numerous, building brisk, real estate looking up and the outlook A No. 1. Wilson county raises boss yearlings on priokly-pear diet and sells them at from $7 to $8 a bead. All stock in that sec tion is in fine condition. The crop reports from all sections of the State are more favorable than for years. Weimar and Cotulla are reveling in the sensational delights of a sorry scan dal. A genuine herd of wild ponies Is said to be in a dense wood within four miles of Houston. Some of them have been captured, but the thicket is so close that they easily evade the lariat. Trouble is brewing at Houston be tween the Smith and Baker factions. —The most popular cigarettes are the Opera Puffs at pooular prices. 4-7-ly-85 COME AND SEE OUR Immense Display of Emi SPRING NOMS.

Base-hm i gossip for INSU Ims reached tint base. Ross' benebruen are vainly raising the granger cry in favor of their candidate. Miss Clkvelami is winning high praise from the enemies of low-necked dresses. San Antonio is out of coast range on spring elections; no signs of candidate fever. Allen, of Austin, and the Galveston News have hurried their little libel hatchet. There are symptoms of spring in nature as well as in the limbs of a young dudes pants. The l egislatures that meditate mak ing boycotting a penitentiary offence need also to look after the blacklister. The State Democratic press appear to have the call on Uncle Dan'l just now, but the old man will raise ’em yet. ‘■What is uppermost in our mind troubles the average fellow much less than what is uppermost in “our" stom ach. The Seguin Record votes for San An tonio as the best place in which to bold the Democratic Convention “Barkis is willin’.’’ The lamb of the Dallas Herald and the lion of the Morning News have lain down together; the lamb inside the lion as usual. Fori Worth aspires to become n port of delivery. As the stuttering fellow said of the old pepper box p-p-p-poor de-de-de-delivery. Repudiation may do for a certain class of debts, but the debt to nature must be paid, and there is no three days grace on these mortality bills. The Kentucky 1 sgislature is battling with an anti-boycott bill. Business be fore pleasure Mr. Bourbon. Try jour hand on an arbitration bill first. The Fort Worlh Gazette endorses Senator Logan's move tor open execu tive session of the Senate, and yet nothing has been heard to drap. Carnaglk pays America the handsome compliment of being the only great na tion which “spends more upon education than on wai or war preparations.” Several of our Texas municipalities have their war paint on it, bat at latest advices Houston was laying on the san guinary pigment a trifle thicker than the rest. Hempstead parties o« trial for throw ing “high dice” were acquitted on the ground of playing with "poker dice.” In this case “high” beats “low jack and the game.” Dallas is on the anxious seat concern ing her business prospects and discour ses mournfully of the solemn mockery in towering piles of buiiuees blocks that are busin less. The first number of the Pearsall Sun is on the Light table. It is published by H. Maney A Son, and is a very neat newspaper. Long may the Sun shine its rays upon its patrons. Waco is massing her municipal forces and the tight will rage around “water works bond's.” “street openings,” “sal aries” and "perqueeltes.” The pros and antics are in battle array. Missouri Pacific stock has dropped six cents since Sunday. When it gets low enough to suit Gould he will rake it in and the strike will strike out. The um pire called “foul” long ago. An exchange says: “If Swain were Governor the cattle kings would pay what they owe to the school fund.” Clear proof of that statement will weigh a big ton in the Swain scale. “The Comanche Town and Country” is the name of a new journal that comes to our table. The specimen before us is good; good enough to live, in spite of its name. Its articles are pithy, quaint and sensible. Petitions from the west In favor of the Hennepin Canal scheme are flooding Congress, bat the east is a unit against any canal connection between Missis sippi and the great lakes, and it la very doubtful if the bill ever passes. The: Chicago Times sizes up the Democracy as a “ridiculous political ornlthoihynchus.” Will the Dallas Dally Herald rise and explain when the Flying Dutchman sent the “Cunarder Ontario"’ to the bottom, where her 11000 passengers were stowed, and how they were all saved when only HIM) came safe to land? vide Wednesday's editorial notes. Kihtok Dolison. ot the Rush County News, says: I'he people invariably de fend right and condemn wrong.” Ihe Nazarine. whom the Jews crucified. had a different opinion of the matter when the cry of the Jerusalem populace was stunning his ears on the way to cruci fixion. This vox populi vox Dei asser tion lacks verification. A thirsty genius from the Rio Grande says you can take an American dollar, get a drink on the Texan side of tbe line and receive a Mexican dollar as change. You cross the line into North Laredo, take a drink, tender your Mexican coin, and get a United States standard dollar. Keep up the racket all day and at night you can give points to a cowboy pianist. The ferry tariff for the day is not stated. The phenomenal Anannias who wires the Fort Worth Gazette from this city concerning the recent changes in the Light ollies, in a short dispatch of 13 lines, ticks off' four square built able bodied whoppers and calmly insinuates a fifth. As to the matter involved, for that matter it Is no matter, tint as a specimen of blooming stupidity on the part of that smart Alickof the press, it brooks no rival near the throne. The chaplain of the Democratic House of Representatives "prayed with the spirit and with the understanding" when he asked Gori to “rid the land of game sters. whether in cards, dice, chips, stock, wheat, bucket-shops or boards of trade, and to lead the people to know that money-making, other than by the sweat of the face, was contrary to di vine law." It was a shrewd dodge that ordered the prayer inserted in the Rec ord. as that is of all places the one most unlikely to be searched. I'he Light offers no justification for those who take the law into their own hands, but if It ever doses one eye and fails to s-e out of tbe other, it is when the time comes to condemn an other wise blameless young woman fer shoot ing the man who seduces her under a solemn promise of marriage and then weds another. The case of Miss Emma Norman, of Memphis. Tenn., who re cently killed her seducer, Henry Arnold, is a case directly in point, and her ac quittal will not seriously disturb the bal lances of justice. There are very general expressions of deep regret among the Utah gentiles at the demand of Secretary Lamar for Gov ernor Murray's resignation. Tne Gov ernor was a union soldier, commanded a brigade at ID years of aga, was United States Mar. hall of Kentucky after the war. and received his appointment as Governor of Utah from President Hayes in Isnu. He was re-appointed by Ar thur, and has waged a ceaseless war against polygamy and the encroach mentsofthe Mormon Church. His re moval is another blunder of an adminis tration; which could better be spared from Washington than Murray from Salt Lake City. San Antonio Christians are doing next to nothing to save young men from the inevitable damnation of street and sporting-house education. Where are the free lecture-rooms, libraries, read ing-rooms, gvmnasiums.eto., that should open their friendly doors to all who de sire to enter? Echo sadly answers, where! It requires much less Christian grit to howl about dens of infamy than it does to plank down money for educa tional institutions of a corrective char acter. If sporting-houses of all kinds were licensed and placed under proper police supervision, and free reading rooms, lectures, night schools, gymna siums, baths, etc., were opened, this city would be so much better off in one year that it would not know itself. Gaia esto.n journals are discoursing of “burglary as a business Burglary will continue a business so long as the grand arm;- of tramps is quartered on us as an army of occupation; this will necessarily be until opportunities of labor are opened to them, after which it will be in order to muster them in as workingmen. If they will not enlist as workmen, they must be drafted. The first thing, how ever, is to find work for them, and this must be the care of tbe government. State and National. A long move in that direction will be such a stringent regulation of emigration as will cut off Chinese and pauper colonization under any pretence, the shortening of the hours of labor, and the encouragement of the overcrowded population of our cities to settle on tbe public lands, by the pas sage of such land laws as will favor ag ricultural industry. If the first care of a government be to care fer the inter ests of its subjects then the revision of our emigration laws are of the first im portance. The Houston Democratic Committee seems seriously exercised over tbe pos sible importation of illegal voters at the impending municipal election. This is virtue run to seed. What a Democratic committee don't know about colonizing voters is one of the lost arts. To com mittees like that one need never explain —Any ways that are dark, any tricks that are vain—For have they not played them again and again—From Galveston Bay to tbe harbors of Maine—Till the modus thereof is as perfectly plain—As the rust on the mail of their enemy Blaine Now busy in building his castles in Spain. Tbe string of resolutions passed by the committee on this assumption of coloni zation scheme read well, but it is a new thing in Texas to find a Democratic com mittee so hopeless of a majority under any circumstances as to hedge against the result. What is Texas coming to anyway. Perhaps she is coming to her political senses, stimulated thereto by a year of Democratic national mismanage ment. We sorrow for tbe Houston De mocracy, but not as those without hope. Church festivals are not so popular In Penobscot as they were before the “pos ters" announced -‘no flirting.” The Milwaukee Sentinel and the At lanta Constitution having exhausted Hie possibilities of tbe retort courteous are verging on the domain of tbe He direct. It is a clear case of the old helium boligcrancy. I'HE Fort Worth Gazette says; “If there is a Texas town that has not •resoluted’ on the strike it must be lonesome,” The solid old city of the Alamo is just that solitary, but her “lonesome” don’t materialize. The people who harp about the love of home as a young man's greatest safe guard. have too little to say about love able homes as a prerequisite to love of home. Loveable people in loveable homes make heavens on earth; the un loveable homes of unloveable people are the antipodes of heaven.

I was knocked down and hot bricks from the furnace almost covered me. 1 saw Andrews and a number of colored men in the river. They were calling for help. The explosion tore away the office, pilot-house, chimneys, for ward boiler-deck and all the forward part of the cabin, throwing them into the river. On deck the result was equally disastrous. Six deck hands were blown overboard, only one of whom was recovered. All on board were scalded except Mrs. Sargent. Immediately after the explosion she took command of tbe boat, went below, helped to launch the yawl and commanded those who were able to rescue those in the river. By this time the debris around the boiler had caught fire, and she seized the draw-bucket, drew water and quenched the Hames, after which she took a book and threw the red-hot bricks overboard. Mrs. Sargent by her heroism saved the wreck from being burned. She was not excited in tbe least and never lost her presence of mind for a minute. Captain Sargent is said to be in San Antonio, where ho has come tor his health. During his absence his wife has bad tbe management of bis boats, which work she has always done successfully.
