Scranton, Pa.. April 2.—Since Pow derly’s return from New York he has been confined to bis bed, unable to see visitors of any kind. The (train upon his physical and mental resources while he was endeavoring to bring about a satisfactory settlement of the strike in the West, on the top of months of severe labor, was more thar. he could stand. His physician says that what he now needs mere than anyteing else, and must have, is absolute rest, for a num ber of days at least. The physician also states: ‘*l have forbidden him to re ceive visitors, or to to be annoyed with business or anything likely to distract his mind. I don’t believe that there is any danger if he will follow my instruc tions.” John E. Barrett, editor of the Scran ton Truth, who was allowed to see Pow derly yesterday, says: ”1 believe Pow derly's condition to be very critical, ai d the country should know that he is in no condition to know what is going on in the West, and should not be held re sponsible for what Ir*n* and his associ ates may do. New York, April 2—Mr. Gould was seen by a World reporter yesterday. He said of the situation ”1 don’t see that 1 can say anything. The whole matter has been referred to Mr. Hoxie, in whom we have full confidence. He is on the ground and knowns the situation thor oughly, and is informed of all that takes place in New York. The strike war is nearly over and was virtually at an end before any of the New York conferences were held. The business of the roads has been resumed, trains are running, and the yards at St. Louis are getting cleared of accumulated freight as rapid ly as possible.” St. Louis, April 2.— The transfer men were present at the stables this morning, but refused to go to work. They told the superintendent, as they told him the first day, that they would not take out their teams until the strike was settled. They do not any longer, it is understood, excuse their action by saying they are afraid and have been intimidated, but openly declare that they are laying off because they are in sympathy with the strikers. In their present attitude the teamsters of the transfer company seem to bold the key to the situation. Yards over the river are without freight, and there is none being received anywhere except by tbq, Wabash. Asking as the teamsters refuse to haul anything, the railroads will have nothing, or, at a y rate, very little to move, and there will be no necessity for the strikers to go near the yards ordo anything in the way of persuading the engineers to leave their engines. “As long as the transfer teamsters stick to us,” said a striker, “we’re all right. If they go back onus, we’ve gone." The General Executive Board has not arrived up to 1 p. m., and so far as can be learned no tidings have been received ofthem. The local committe deny that there are any differences between them and the general committee; are certain that the latter will approve their action. Fort Worth, April 2.—The Missouri Pacific is still in the hands of the strik ers. All person* not employes of the road have been enjoined by the couris from entering the company’s yards. The authorities of law are determined the trains shall move to-morrow, and the strikers are equally determined that freight shall not uiove until the company agrees to take its discharged employes back. But for the aid the strikers are receiving from the Farmers’ Alliances in the State aud contributlens from out side Knight*, the strikers would have gone to work long ago. The strikers have unlimited resources to draw from, and, as far as they are concerned, the present slcuatian might continue for months. Ottawa, Kas,, April 2.—Last night Adjutant General A. B. Ca npbell issued orders to Colonel S. Patrick, of the First regiment of the Kansas State militia, to place his entire regiment under march ing orders, with two days’ rations, pre paratory to a march on Parsons. To day’s Southern Kanias train conveyed the ontire command to that point,where trouble is anticipated on account of the labor trouble*. Great excitement pre vails throughout the southeast part of the State. Palestine. Tex., April 2.—The shop and yardmen were all paid in checks nt the freight depot thi* morning. The shops are open, but the strikers have not yet signified an intention of resuming work. It Is said that some deslro to go to work, but they have not offered them selves to the company. Business is be coming lively along this line. Thirty five freight trains were in and out of Palestine in the last 24 hours. FATEFUL FLOODS. Chattanooga, April 2.—A colored man was drowned at 10 a. m. Both gas-works are inundated, and there will be no gas to-night. The water-works also are un der water. The supply in the resovoir will be exhausted in 24 hours. The river Is 50 feet and still rising. Water at 9 a. m. reached Market and Eighth streets. Business is entirely suspended. Relief committees have been organized and homes and goods are supplied to all needy. Montgomery, Ala., April 2.—A special to the Advertiser states that the War rior, Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers are falling. Thousands of horses, mules, cattle and hogs have been swept away. Coro, cotton seed and provisions in reach of the flood were destroyed. A relief boat brought a large number of people, who had been in peril and were without food for three days. On a farm employiag State oenviots the water flooded the quarters. Th* president of the board of inspectors made his way with boats to the imperiled place aid got them off in safety. So far, reports of drowning in various portions of the State foot up to nine, all colored but one. The water is two feet deep at the Union depot here, and from there te the Ala bama river bridge of the South and North road is almost a continuous sheet of water. The flood throughout the ■State is unprecedented, rising here six feet above the highest mark ever known. Viewed off the deme of the capltol. the highest point in the city, the surround ing country Is a lake of water north and west fully 10 miles square. Richmond, Va., April 2.—James river at this poiut is higher than for years. Toward midnight last night the water overtlowed the banks, flooding all that portion of the city known as Rocketts. The water was eight and ton feet deep on the streets, and inundated all those streets about the old market, between Fifteenth and Eighteenth streets, cutting off communication between the upper and lower portions of tbs city, except by boat. Charlnston, W. Va April 2.- The flood in Kanawha and Elk rivers, which resulted in submerging half the city, be gan receding early this morning, and at 11 o’clock the mirks show 35 feet in the channel. In the flooded districts of the city many hundredsof people who lived In small bouses were great aufferen, having lost tbeir possessions. ACROSS THE BRINY. Berlin, April 2. —To-day was the seventy-first anniversary of the birth of Prince Bismarck. The Chancellor was visited by Crown Prince Frederick Wil liam and bis son Prince William, who personally congratulated him. He re ceived a large number of congratulatory telegrams and letters, as well as many birthday presents. The lower house of the Prussian diet to-day adopted the first clause of the Polish bill, placing 10:i,000.000 marks at the disposal of I be government for estab lishing German colonies in West Prussia and Persia. London, April 2.—“ Mr. Gladstone is riding straight for a fall,” the Fall Mall Gazette declare* this afternoon. “He refuses to modify the Irish tcheme, and the result will be that the country will take neither home rule in Ireland nor Gladstone.” It is thought the editor has special knowledge that Gladstone is being con victed of absolute justice and good policy in his Irish proposals, and at the same time convinced that the tory and radical politicians are determined to de feat them. He means to force the issue and bring about bls defeat as soon as possible, and is content to sacrifice power in a final effort at pacification. It is reported that Russia has notified the powers of her intention to occupy Bulgaria iu the event of Prince Alex ander’! final refusal to accept the Gov ernorship of Roumella for five years only. There is great and sudden activity in the British foreign office. Gladstone spent considerable time there to-day conferring with Earl Roseberry, Secre tary of Foreign Affairs. It was ascertained at a late hour last night that during the long discussion of the abinet on the scheme of buying out the Irish landlords, Gladstone, in conse quence of the unfavorable attitude of Scotch Liberal Association, proposed to modify his project in several particulars, but no agreement could be reached by Cabinet. It now seems probable the preject will be withdrawn. Paris, April 2. Leading French pa pers take a gloomy view of the situa tion in the East. Two French ironclads have been ordered to be placed in readi ness for immediate dispatch to the Med iterranean. Vienna, April 2.—The Empress Eliza beth, the largest transport la the naval service, and six torpedo boats have been ordered to reinforce tbe Austrian fleet in Greek waters. G. A. R. Entertainment. Last evening tbe Grand Army Post gave an open door entertainment at their hall on Market street. The programme was divided in two parts and was car ried out promptly and with satisfaction to all present. The Commander of tbe Post, J. P. Newcomb, made a few open ing remarks, reviewing the objects and purposes of the organization and its growing usefulness. He stated that over 300,(YO ex-soldiers were now enrolled, and during tbe past year hundreds of thousands of dollars had been disbursed to needy comrades and to the widows and orphans of those who had fought to preserve the integrity of tbe nation, closing by roading a beautiful war lyric by the poet Winter. Conrad Kuhn sang a solo, Conrad Jac ques recited the "Blue and the Grey,” and Mr. C. H. Mueller sang "Ebren on the Rhine” splendidly, this closing the first part. After an intermission of a few minutes, the second part of the pro gramme was carried through. Comrade E. B. Johnson made a few appropriate remarks: Comrade Jacques sang “Conrad Joe”; Comrade Huston reclttd “Shamus O’Brien,” bringing down the house Mr. Mueller repeated “Ehren on the Rhine” by request, and “Auld Lany Syne” by Mil present concluded the entertainment. Tbe Grand Army members expect to re peat these pleasant eatertaiiments. The Young Folks’ Concert. Th* concert given by the young ladles of tbe Home Mission Society last light at the residence of Mr*. Dr. Jone*, was a splendid success. There were about 50 or more present, and everyone was delighted with tbe entertainment.

San Antonio’s Future. “I think San Antonio has a bright future before her. Real estate is selling very well, but would realize much quick er and at higher prices If the strike were to be settled. There are many people in town visiting tbe city who would be glad to purchase were it not for this cause.” The above were the re marks of Mr.C. F. Dignowity to a Light reporter this morning. NORTHWESTWARD HO! PRESIDENT LOTT TALKS TO MASON COUNTY ON RAILROADS, And Gives Its Representative, Captain D F. Hayes, the Proposed Une of tne San Antonio and Aransas Pass. Captain D. F. Hays, of the Mason News, whose arrival in the city was mentioned in yesterday's Light, hail an Interview yesterday and to-day with President Lott in regard to the extension of the Aransas Pass railway to Mason county. A Light reporter, hearing of the ap tain's interview, met him to-day at noon and asked him tbe result of the in terview. The Captain's beaming coun tenance broadened into a satisfied smile as he proceeded to unfold some valuable information. He said: “Being a red hot Brackenridge-for-Governor man, I came down to Austin from Mason, and, having lots of old acquaintances in San Antonio, thought I'd run over, and did so. Here I met Samuel Crosby and other heavy cattlemen of Mason. They asked me to call on President Lott and see what the chances of his getting the road were. “I called yesterday and hud a long con ference with Mr. Lott. He said he knew it was to tbe interest of San An tonio anti the western country that the road should be extended westward, and after the conference he expressed him self thoroughly .satisfied of the practica bility of tbe road, and told me it would be extended westward, provided the people through the country it would run would contribute toward Its inception. So far as its adaptability and success were concerned, he was very confident. “Lott produced a map and with a lead pencil drew a line on it, showing tbe line the road would take if built. The line runs from San Antonio through the fol lowingcounties in a northwesterly and north direction: Kendall, Kerr. Gilles pie, Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Cole man, Runnells, Taylor, Jones, Haskell, King, Cottle, Childress, Collingsworth, Wheeler.Heinphilland Lipscomb, thence it crosses the Indian Nation in the Pan handle to Kansas, from which point it will doubtless take a bee line to Den ver. “1 left after securing the map and called again to-day. by invitation. Mr. Lott was ill, but Mr. Yoakum represented him, and stated that yesterday's confer ence had been entirely satisfactory to Mr. Lott. “Capt. Hayes, in addition, stated that the people of Mason propose to pay the first road that reaches that place within one-half mile of their court-house $50,000 in cash. “Mason county represents one of the wealthiest counties in the State in cattle, sheep and cotton. “The exports annually will aggregate in cattle and sheep $200,000, in wool $lOO,OOO, in cotton about the same, and in hides and miscellaneous products fully as much. There are now 10,000 tiead of cattle for sale there. This trade can all be brought right into San Anto nio, and if it ai«’t worth your while pulling for the road I don’t know.” THE CHURCHES.

U. LOTT, President. B. F. Yoakum, Secretary. Firs! and Second Metliodist. A young man had always accompanied his parents to the First Methodist Church. One Sunday morning his father was surprised when, in reply to “Are vou ready, John?’’ the youn* fellow Mid: ‘‘l Doltere, father, that I will attend the B**<«on<l Methodist this morn ing Upon this the old gentleman departed for th*- First Methodist, In which sanctuary he was a shining light and a great power around the amen corner. The deacon, although a hard-working Christian, also believed in the good things of mother earth, and had a plen tifully supplied wine cellar, which (as he knew that the young were liable to be indis creet) he kept under lock and key. For several weeks the deacon had noted the hollow sounds in his wine casks, and he also noticed that his son had taken a great liking for the Second Methodist Church. On the following Sunday the deacon again asked his son to go to the* First Methodist out John replied that he had already made arrangements to attend the Sec ond Methodist. The deacon quietly departed, and John, with three companions, who had been in waiting.went to the cellar, where they had been all along secretly indulging in the deacon’s fine old wines. John flew to the door and tried to insert the key, but could not find the keyhole. He struck a match and saw, with surprise, that the keyhole had beon plugged and that a very strong, able-bodied Sad lock had been attached to the door. As io ravsof light from the flickering match re flected against the door they al) noticed some, thing white, upon which was some charactero and, standing back, they could hardly believs their eyes as they read, in large letters, these words: “Second Methodist closed for re pairs." John felt so cheap that he went straight to his Uncle Emerson, at No. 12 Soledad street. and borrowed FU and left for California. Owing to the cut in railroad fares he got a through ticket for f 14, and is now a wealthy man in San Fran cisco, and he acknowledges that he made It out of that he got from Bmerson. They can all talk, but Emerson continues to hold “the bridge" to help the boys over. Special to Artists.
