THE TRAIN ROBBERS TRIAL.

Threatening Letters Written to Witnesses
ment.
GALLATIN, Mo-, Aug. 23.-This community
was thrown into high state of excitement
last night by the fact becoming known that
that two Of the most prominent citizens of
Gallatin, Harfeld Davis and Alexander
Irving, who are witnesses in the James trial,
had received threatening notes through the
postof1ice. Both men were active in their
efforts to capture the murderers Of Capt.
Shulls in 1869, and took part in the pursuit,
and had n running fight with the james
party at the residence of Mrs Samuels. The
notes were dropped into the postotIice yester
day. They were written by the same hand,
and ran thus:
You better be careful about your evidence
against Frank James. FRIEND.
The notes aroused strong feeling of indig-
nation among the citizens, many regarding
the action as cowardly system of intimidat-
ing the witnesses, while the theory of James's
friends is that the notes were written by his
enemies to excite public sentiment against
him. One thing is assured. The witnesses
for the state cannot be intimidated by such a
course 1t was claimed last night that tho
attorney for the defense would take full time
for challenging jurors, and that the Jury
would not be completed till Friday morning.
Hence the court will simply meet to-day
and adjourn till Friday. meeting of
James's,counsel was held late last evening,
at which the anonymous letters to Davis and
Irving were bitterly denounced as trick on
the part of Jamess enemies to excite popular
opinion against him. and disclaiminG the idea
that such methods cmanated from friends of
their client.

Adams, Brooklyn lawyer, appeared before
the senate subcommittee on labor and educa.
tion to-day. lie said he is of the school of
economists led by Prof. Fawcett and Prof
Cairns He proposed to prevent the present
absolute dependence on wages by restricting
monopolistic franchises. Such franchises
should be given for fixed terms, at tho end Of
which they should bo thrown open 10 compc-
tition. Tho witness favored tho establish
ment Of postal savings banks, and the sale by
them OF small annuities to poor people.
At the session of the Federation Of Organ
lied Trades and Labor unions this morning q
resolution was adopted requesting the legis.
lative committee of the federation to support
the cigar makers in their fight to secure en-
forcement of the law passed by the last New
York legislature prohibiting the manufacture
of cigars in tenement houses. 1t was stated
that the manufacturers intend TO contest the
constitutionality Of tho law. 1t was resolved
to make special efforts TO organize factory
operatives. Mr. Foster spoke of tho low
wages Of New England factory operatives,
and of the persistent backhalling by en-
ployers of those who sought to organize them.
At the afternoon session, John Rogers, n
granite stoneoutter, testified that the wages
received by this class Of laborsrs had been
greatly increased by the establishment OF
trade unions They were now getting all
they desired in the way of wages, and the
trade was in prosperous condition.
Edward King, a member of the Central
Labor union, testified that tho labor move
ment was still in its fncpient stage in thi,
country, but that in England il had reached
that pitch when social revolution was i'm.
minent. He anticipated that tho time would
come when 'morals and religion would entel
into the management of business and boss the
whole concern as they had never done before
His views as to the aims of the labor socialists
were reserved until a future hearing.

The Dublin detectives naturally make the
most of Egan's fight from Ireland. The CHIEF
of the Criminal Service, Mr.. Jenkinson, IN CIV
inc out the information that the cX-treasurer
of the Land League has mYsterously dlsap-
pearcd assumes that he has been frightened
away by the prospect of Sheridan's eItradit1on
whereby important evidence would come Into
tine hands of the authorities. This explanation
overtaxes credulty. As Sheridan himself was
not alarmed by the demand foI his extradition,
his confidence must have been shared by
EVan. Certainly. the ex-treasurer, II he felt
any uneasincss on that score, could have de-
ferred his departure until the formal proceed
inys against Sheridan were opened before
United States tribunal. Equally absurd is the
surmise that Egan's flight can be attributed to
the discovery Of letters from him to James
Carey. the nformer, written about the time the
Inyincibes were organized and expressing the
hone tnat Carey would be successful Nin the
work on hand" If tho detectives had secured
documentary evidence showing that the WORK
Oh hand was assassination and that Egan had
either directly promoted ii or been prlvy to it,
tbey would not have allowed him TO slip
through their fingers, but would have arrested
him. The detectives assumptions do little
credit to their ingenuity. There IL more rea-
sonable explanation of the ex-treasurer's flight.
Egan will probably turn up speedily In Paris
and Indignantly deny that he has left ireland
on any other grounds than impaired health and
private business At the same time his mysteri-
ous exit can scarcely fail to deepen the i'm
preston that the Land League was actually
tainted with crime as we'll as morally respon-
siblc for it. At a critical moment in the for
tunes of the Land movement, when so stanch a
friend of Ireland as Lady Florence Dixie
charges that large balance of the League
Fund has never been accounted for and sus-
| pcions are entertained throughout England
| that portion at least of the money contributed
| from America was used in instlgating outrages,
| Egan ought to have remained ut his post. court
| ing an examination of his accounts and vouch-
ers and denying that single dollar had been
expended for criminal ends. To sneak out of
| the island as he has done is to bring not only
additional discredit but infamy upon the Land
| League. The inference will be that q criminal
use was made OF the money which he handled
and that he was afraid, not that Sheridan
would be extradted, but that other secret agents
employed by the League would give evi-
| dence against him. III there were traitors

MORE WATER FOR NEW YORK.

The committee of citizens appointed to con-
slider the question of an additional water sup
nlv WAS well selected. This Is plain from the
renort which was received by the State
Senate Yesterday 1t is signed by Mayor
Edison. William Dowd John T. Agnew. o. b.
Potter. Amos f. Emo and Hugh n. Camp.
From such n body of clear headed clean
handed, practical business men, we might
fairly expect wel-cOnsidered, compact ana
forcible conclusions. These we have in this
report. 1t does not waste words. it is terse,
solid and substantial, with plenty of good,
hard sense in it, and its recommendations are
sure to carry weight
The committee declare that an increased sup
ply of water is impcrativey necessary, and that
IL should he secured at the earliest day prac-
ticable. Public opinion is about unanimous on
that point now, we think. The stouteSt ad-
vocates of economy in city expenditure have
been forced to admit that more water Is the
most urgent need Of the metropolis. There Is
hardly n house on the island in which the
discomforts and annOyances incident 10 an IN
sufficient suppiy have not been felt at some time
during the past year, while from whole districts
tbe complaints have been loud and long.
The need of an enlarged supply being gen
orally admitted, the committee then take
nm the means Of getting it. They have come
10 the conclusion that the CrOton watershed
| il the best source from which to draw tie in
| creased supply. 1t will suffice for the wants
of the city until the daily consumption exceeds
| $50. .OOO, 900 gallons. That time is Mt least
quarter century in the future. The committee
| declare that new aqueduct should be built
Immediately and favor one not less than ffteen
feet in clear inside diameter. They believe
| that sucb AN aqueduct can be built for $oOO,ooo
| uar mile. and can be finished in thirty months.
! They are unanimous as TO the new aqucduct'
! As to the proposed dam at Quaker bridge q
work for which there is no parallel In the
world, they do not agree Some OF the mem
bers favor the plan of building separate dams

scheme is practicable, provided the dam If
built Oh solid rock with width at the bot

The report recommends that the question OF
