Railroad StriEa

CINCINNATI, April 10.-The strike
of the employees of the Cincinnati
northern division of the Toledo and
st. Louis railroad, because they were
not paid, was at first thought to be of
little significance, but it contln-
ues TO grow worse, and now
includes all except conductors and
engineers. A slight accident to a pas
senger train by a misplaced switch il
yards to-day, charged to the strikers
but they deny it. The fire
men brought from Dayton
to-day refused to go 10 work when
they saw the situation. Judge
Foraker, attorney for receiver
Craig, says the men deserve pay, but
the court provides no means of pay
ing them except from the receipts
and the strike cuts off these.

The Sequel of the Suicide

Yesterday the father-in-law of the
beautiful young woman who COM
mitted suicide at the Howard house
reached this city. He had seen the
county judge and obtained possession
of the children and had been to MI.
Roberts and obtained possession of the
deceased's effects, when he was inter-
viewed by STATESMAN representa-
tive yesterday. He is a farmer, liv-
ing seven miles from Conway, Ark,
aud gentleman of more than ordi-
nary ability and intelligence. One
does not need to talk with him long
to discover the fact that he is well
educated for farmer, a close observer
of human nature and withal gentle
man of excellent moral impulses. He
has quite fully investigated the causes
that led to the woman's sad suicide,
and, as surmised, it was purely love
affair. According to the statements
OF this gentleman, q. M. Taylor, James
r. Taylor, his son, when Is years old,
married Eva Lee, the deceased, who
was at that time but II. This was the
goth of March, 1874, and at Jackson,
Ark, July LIST, 1875. little Blanche was
born, and little George Felix was
born December 18th, 1881. The couple
lived in the highest degree of connu-
bal happiness until his death, which
occurred the 18th day of January,
1888. This was caused by an accident
nearly as related in THE STATESMAN
at the time of the suicide. He was
struck in the head by piece of tim
Ter. Inflammation followed. from
which he died. After the injury they
went to Gainesville, and it was here the
luckless husband passed from earth.
Roberts was keeping saloon in Gates
vile at this time, and Mr..
Taylor says he began to court
her and made propositions of
marriage. An old gentleman by the
name of Scott who had always been
great friend of the family induced her
to leave Gainesville TO get away from
Roberts influence and she went to
LampasaS. Here Roberts came to see
her, the day of the marriage was set.
she writing to her father-in-law and
other relatives to that effect, the eX-
act date could not be remembered, but
it was January last, but instead of
marrying her he took ner to his ranch
as house keeper. Mr.. Taylor says
Roberts acknowledged that he was
engaged to mary her, but
claims that he refused to com.
ply with his contract on account of
Scett's OBTAINING her, (Scott indig-
nantly denies this) and in this way
reasons: He did not cause her trouble
but says Scott is responsible for it.
No matter what the details may be, it
was love and disappointment that
caused the beautiful woman to seek
her own destruction.
She come from one of the very best
families, and not a suspicion was
ever breathed against her good
name, either before or after her
Her father-in-law stated
that he should have the case investi-
gated to the fullest, and intimated
that Travis county might have a SEN
sational case hereafter. Heleaves tor

MAuoa1ET. April 10. 1884


To the Editor Of The Statesman.
SIR:-I hear that it was reported in
your paper about two weeks ago that
l had been shot and killed by one
Rogers. l am sorry that such report
should have reached you, as, tn ough /
did not see the account myself. 1 fancy
the affair must have been good deal
exaggerated. The little disturbance,
or whatever you call it, was caused, /
believe, entirely through the misrep-
reservations of third person. Pre-
vious to the affair, Rogers and myself
were, / believe, on good terms, and
afterwards things were explained to
the satisfaction of both parties. The
misrepresentation, above referred t.
were such as will. no doubt cause
many others to act hastily.
Hoping that this unfortunate occur
renee will be thought no more of by
either the general public or those in
authority, and thanking you for the
valuable space this letter viii take if
you will be kind enough to publish it,
Believe me to be, yours SC,
g. EcCLAYTON.

A Story that is Timely in Connection With
the Alleged De Caux Reconciliation.
From the Evening Alta California.
Count ZacharoH has been giving
me some particulars of your life and
about your marriage to signor Nicoli-
nj. Will you please tell me when and
where your marriage took lpiace 7"
asked an Alta reporter. Madam Patti
| looked rather surprised at the ques-
ton, but smiled pleasantly as she re-
| piled: 81 was married to Signor Nico-
lini privately in the Greek church, st.
Petersburg, few months after my
separation from the M arquis De Caux.
OF course you have read all about
| that"
81 have never seen this published
before"
mo one has ever asked me before
as you have DONE" said Madam Patti,
quickly interrupting, the public, who
can have no possible interest in them
that can imagine,
"But pardon me, madam, the small
est trifies relating to so distinguished
lady as yourself, even the very dress
eS and jewelry you wear, are the COM
monest topics of conversation all over
the world.
81 suppose so" said the lady, smiling
"but you know people don't come to
me and ask where buy my dresses or
what they cost, except it is the re-
porters, and they ask all kinds of ques-
tions."
81 have seen it often stated that
your husband, Signor Nicolini, has
never been divorsed from his former
wife," said the reporter. Madame
Patti looked amazed at the remark and
as if she was about to tell the reporter
to question Nicolini about his own
affairs, but it was only a momentary
flush of annoyance that suffused her
expressive face and all was good-na'
tured again, when she replied: "Sign-
or Noc0lini did not get a divorce from
his first wife; she obtained divorce
from him on the ground ofincompati-
bility of temper. But, pout, what
does 1t all matter what people say2
The year his wife got the divorce was
1879. 1 can't remember the month.
suppose all the talk you speak of
comes from the fact that the church
does not recognize secular divorces,
and made some effort to secure the
sanction of the Holy Father to my
union"
Madame PATHS tone indicated that
she considered the line of questioning
had gone far enough. and the reporter,
having gained far more information
than he expected, retired.

New York Notes.

NEW YORK, April 11.-Special en-
gagements for shipments to Europe
tomorrow amount to one million dol
lars.
To-day was observed as half holt
day in Wall street and the exchanges
were closed.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE World
of tomorrow will publish replies from
Governor Hoadley, Ohio, and Govern
or Jackson, West Virginia, to inquir-
les concerning the issues for the next
presidential campaign. Governor
Hoadley says the issues upon which
the presidential campaign ought tobe
conducted are: the necessity Of reform
of the abuses engendered by the long
continued republican mis-government,
for economy in public expenditures,
and for the restoration of the consti-
tuition of the United States to its
rightful supremacy, absolute free
trade is at present an impos-
sibility. Any tariff necessarily
affords incidental protection to
domestic manufacturers of ar
ticles it embraces, but protection
should be incidental rather than the
object. Tariff should be levied only
for. public uses, which means tariff
exclusively on articles which are not
produced in the United States, such as
tea or coffee. l favor tariff for reve-
nue., avoiding monopolies, but care
fully discriminating so as to encour-
age labor, and, as far as possible, SO
constructed in intelligent details
as to give relief to oppressed COM
merce, and restore the American
flag to the seas, but not to
shock or rudely disturb invested cap
ital. This is the Ohio platform, on
which we carried Ohio last fall, and
with Tilden or Payne as a candidate,
we can carry it again this year.
Governor Jackson's views-I am
not in favor of making tariff an issue
in the presidential campaign. i be-
lieve the issue should be reform in
the government, the restoration Of the
republic, to be brought about by an
absolute change at Washington. be-
lieve there should be modification of
existing tariff, but am opposed to the
passage of the Morrison bill. am in
favor of the Ohio platform of tariff
for revenue, with incidental protec-
ton, as the wisest policy to unite the
democracy for national victory. be-
lieve that a large majority of
the democrats of this state
are in accord with the above views,

which must be commensurate with the
public interests, in order to be effec-
