ALL REMAINS QUIET ONTHE WABASH
Railroads not Affected as yet by the Order
of the Knights of Labor-A strike
of the Glass Workers at Pitts
burg Threatened.

ST. Louis, Aug. 19-The action of the
national executive committee of the
knights of Labor in issuing a general or
der to the Knights employed on roads
west of the Mississippi prohibiting the
handling or repairing of the Wabash roll
ing stock has been followed by no serious
results to-day. Members of the execu-
tive committee, which is in session
here, are of the opinion that the full force
of the order will not be felt by railroads
for several days yet. kilograms have
been received by them from different
points of the State from branch assemblies
of the national organization endorsing the
issuance of the general order and indicat-
ing their intention to stand by it. Meet
ings of the Knights all through the west
will be held as soon as the order is received
by them, and it is expected that concerted
action will be taken by them
by the 2lst inst. at the latest.
Z. j. Russell Of the committee says that
the resolutions calling for the impeach-
ment of United States Judges Brewer
Treat and knekel will be carried out if
possible. Congressman Warner and Gen.
Palmer will draw up articles of impeach-
ment which Will beintrOduced in Congress
and pushed with all the influence which
the Knights can command. Trouble is
expected at Kansas City shortly. The
number of yard and trainmen at that point
are Knights and in obedience to yester-
| days order they will, it is thought, refuse
| to handle Wabash cars, in consequence of
which all Wabash freight will be side
tracked.
1880 p. m.-Nothng has yet been re-
ceived from any point in this State of any
trouble growing out of yesterdays order,
and in all probability nothing will occur
| for a day or two OF until the order shall
have reached at least the principal points
| on the roads which it names.
| DENVER, Col, Aug l9.-No action has
| thus far been taken by the Knights of
| Labor in the employ of the Union Pacific
upon the st. LOUIS order The Wabash
| freights are being handled as usual. Rail
road officials claim that the order will be
ignored 10y the Union Pacific Knights.
| GALVESTON, Aug. l9-The strike on the
Wabash system has not affected the
Gould lines at this point or any other
point in Texas thus far heard from at
noon to-day.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. l9,-The delegates
to the Democratic State convention COM
menced to arrive to-day and it is thought
all the delegates will be here by evening.
The indications point to a large gather
ing. 1t is thought the old ticket will be
nominated as far as incumbents desire
the places. There is no organized opposi-
ton to Gov. Hoadley and the impression
among the majority of the delegates is
that he will be renominated on the first
ballot. Judge Thurman has refused to
use his name for governor and opposition
to Gov. Hoadley is not inclined to combine
on any other. The convention will be
held tomorrow

Boonville, Mo-, Feb. 23.-Last oatur'
day afternoon the only two charges
pending against Frank James i'm the
circuit court were dismissed, and he is d
free man. The matter was kept very
quiet, and even now 1t is not generally
whether Gov. Marmadhke will recog'
| nize the requisition Of Gov. Hubbard oil
Minnesota for the removal of James to
that state for trial. The case against
the famous outlaw was docketed in the
circuit court for to-day, but was quietly
called up by the prosecuting attorney
Shackelford. Saturday evening, just al
the close Of court, when nobody was
present, excepting the officers of the
| court, the prisoner and the attorneys
S~hackelford stated to the court when he
| procured the removal of James from
Alabama to Missouri, that he was conf
| dent he had sufficient evidence to con-
Wet him but since then his chief wit
ness, Mr.. Stopp of Kansas, has died, and
other evidence was missing. In Justice,
therefore, to the state and to the defen-
dant, he moved that the charges, one
for obs,ructing II railroad and the other
for robbery, both ut OtterviHe, be dis
missed. The court granted the motion
In Il very few words. There are no
other charges pending against James in
this state, and he therefore is entirely
free. After the prisoner was released
he went to his hotel, where he received
the congratulations Of a few friends who
knew of the action Of the court. No re-
QUESTION for James has yet been made

action Gov. Marmaduke would take
should one be received is pure ~specula
ton, he having declined to commit him
self on the question.
