A BIG RAILROAD STRIKE.
A Revolt Against Low Wages i'm the
SOuth vest.

a st. Louis dispatch says that the railroad
strike has developed into such huge proper
tons that both Governors Martin, of Kansas,
and Marmaduke, of Missouri, have been called
upon by the railroad officers, AMI as a result
of these meetings, Governor Marina
duke called upon the ST. Louis
militia, 30 of whom were shipped
to S 'dalia by special train. At Sedalia
Adjutant-t;cneral JamisOn met the strikers
and was informed by them that they would
not permit the running of freight trains un-
less the rate of wages paid prior to October,
1854, were restored, not only to the employees
at Scdalia, but all over the entire Gould
system. The strikers were informed that
s~topping trains of any description
is a violation of the law and would be re
sisted by the governor, who would use the
militia if necessary.
ASedalia MOI dispatch says: There are
now over seventy engines in the round nous
AMI wards here which have been killed 10y the
strikers and over ten miles of loaded freight
cars on the side tracks. No passenger trains
have yet been stopped, but no passerg rs have
arrived here from west of Kansas city or
south of Parsons, since Sunday"
A Dallas Texas dispatch says that hun
dreds of cars of fruit, vegetables and other
perishable property are side-tracied, and all
the markets are nearly bare, and prices have
advanced nearly double. This class OF goods
are being carried III large quillllllia III Hldl''
cars, passenger coaches and 10y express com
panies.
The railroad officials have served notice on
the various county and city authorities, de-
manding protection, and declaring their IN
tention to hold the communities responsible
for losses. Governor Ireland, of Texas, has
issued n proclamation against the strikers,
and called on the county and city authorities
to do their duty under the law and aid the
companies in protecting their property and
in moving trains,
AT Kansas City the strike assumed definite
shape and all traffic ON the Missouri Pacific
road was stopped. The Missouri Pacific au
thorities notified the city council that Kansas
City would be- held responsible for any los
resulting from violence and riot.
At MOberly, Mo, and Mt Centrevlle, Iowa
the railroad employees also struck.

BLAINE AND CLEVELAND.
The Former Calls Spon the latter at
The White House.

Mr.. Blaine made "A formal call on President
Cleveland at the White House in the after
noon at ; o'clock. He was received ly the
President in the library. No one else was
present during the interview. They were to-
gether 5 ONE twenty-five minutes or half
an hour. But little detail Of the conversation
is known save that it was upon general aud
not leading topics. On parting Mr.. Blaine
said: Mr.. President, ! sincerely hope that
the country may be prosper u an cuntented
under your administration, and / truSt YOU
will find your life in Washington one of per-
sonal happiness
Mr.. Cleveland thanked Mr.. Blaine for his
cordial expressions, and assured HIM that be-
tween them personally there could only be
kindly feeling.
A correspondent called at Mr.. Blaine's
house IN the evening to get an account from
him of the interview. Mr., Blaine said here
was nothing whatever to tell that he had SIM
ply paid his respects as a private citizen TO the
chief magistrate of the nation; and had been
very courteously and kindly received by him.
Beyond that there was really nothing to say.
Mr.. Blaine called through an arrangement
made on the previous day. He sent word
that he would like to call and pay his respects,
and the President sent word that he would
be pleased to see him at ) o'clock the follow
ing afternoon, and Mr.. Blaine arrived at the
White House prompt to the minute.
Mr.. Blaine's entrance at the White House
made something of a sensation among the at
PENDANTS about the door, as only the Presi-
dent and Col. Lamont knew of his coming. The
correspondent called at the White House in
the evening to learn from the President his
impressions of his caller, as the two men met
in the afternoon for the first time, hut the
President did not care osay anything beyond
the fact that the call was a pleasant one.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
A NeNIy-Wcdded Nir@inia Couple
Murdcrcd-A Missing SuitOr.

News of a frightful tragedy has been re
ceived from Wise county, Virginia. In
the neighborhool of Bonds Mills, the
Hentons, Mitchells, and Reynoldses were
the leading families, and Martha
Reynolds was the belle of the whole region.
She had many suitors, the most favored of
whom were Charles Henton and Bud
Mitchell. Not certain which she loved the
most, she engaged herself to both. Hcnton
became aware of the fact, and persuaded the
girl to elope with him. They lett the neighbor-
hood, were quietly married, and returned
to the home of the brides parents.
That night the wedding was celebrated with
a dance. Bud Mitchell was present. and,
under the influence of liquor, became noisy
and insulting. He berated the bride for her
tckleness, and finally slapped her. Her hus-
band, hearing of 1t, ran across the room, and
gave Mitchell a beating, and was only pre-
vented from killing him by his friends.
Mitchell left, vowing vengeance.
The following night Henton and his wife
attended a prayer meeting at n rural church,
going home by a short cut. Mitchell was not
seen by any one. As Henton AMI his wife
failed to put in an appearance, search was
made the next day, and their bodies, dis
figured almost beyond recognition, We're dis
covered in n lonely spot in the path they
were following. The woman's head was
nearly severed from her body. IIenton had
been shot in the breast, and afterward the
assassin had pounded his head to a Jelly with
a stone. Mitchell was missing.
