THE TRAIN FROM THE WEST,
Last night, ut an early hour, u largo
crowd OF railroad men gathered ut the
union depot, waiting for the train from
Fort Worth. On It's arrival our re-
porter interviewed freight agent,
who said that everything was quiet In
that burg. There Isl prospects OF AN Ice
famine at the Queen of the Prairies.
The merchants are anxious about
their freight on the road. There is
considerable talking among the rail-
road men there, but all Is quiet and
peaceable,
When the train reached the union
depot the railroad men who had gath
cred there, boarded II and started to
Join their brethren in Marshall. Mat
tiers about the depot are very quiet.
The mayor has posted numerous
watchmen at the different depots to
see that no property il interfered with
by outside parties. The railroad men
have repeatedly told the marshal that
they would Willingly lend their assist
anoe in case anything shonld happen,
and he might depend upon them 10
protect property. They do not wish
to have anything occur which will re-
fleet upon them in the Toast, as their
issue Is only with the company,
IT was reported last night that an
engineer on the Central said that THEN
men would request the company To
reinstate the brakemen which had
been taken oli-that is, there are bu,
two brakemen on train where form
erly there were throe~-and that theil
pay be the same as before the rednc
ton OF ten per cent.
| Late last night we heard the follow
ing rumor from several sources, that
the Central would strike at twelve
o'clock to-day. One man informed
our reporter that he heard tho engineer
of the Central train tell the engineer
of the Pacific ut the union depot last
night that the mon would strike at
noon to-day, and that he came very
near not going out with his engine.
THE TRAIN FROM THE EAST
was ~ anxlously waited for last night
IA the night before. IL came In u lit
tie behind time, and was we'll filled
with passengers. Our reporter hunted
up Conductor Alvord, who seid that
everything was quiet In Marshall.
The men were orderly and no drinks
ing was done. They held meeting
but no proposition had been made
to the company, as the men were
awaiting the return Of Colonel Noble
aud Messrs. Bond and Brown, vice.
presidents. A relative OF Colonel No
BILE had died ibis wife's daughter, we
were informed day before yester-
day permission was asked to send Mo-
blc's car to him at st. Louis, which
the railroad men granted. IL is
thought Noble will arrive there to-
morrow night,
BY another party we were told
that young Scott had received or
ders not to entertain any propositions
until the return OF the officers. All
trains are cut oil, excepting the regu-
lar mail trains, aud 1t IL thought that
even these will be stopped, excepting
the engine and postal car. This is the
situation up to our going to press, 30
far ss the Texas aud Pacific Is concern
ed, and we will have to await the re.
suit with patience.
