THE ~RAZORBACK PIG.
An Ex-Mayor of Scranton Describes a South
ern Domestic Animal.


ern Domestic Animal.
L. v. Powderly. in Scranton Truth.
Flamaton has two hotels, six houses and about
seven hundred razorback pigs. 1 will not at
tempt to give the exact population of the pig
family. approximate; that's all. These pigs
are weary OF life. They court death every day
in a thousand different ways. When an engine
starts up anywhere in tho yard a score Of these
pigs will dash recklessly up to and under the
wheels. Sometimes they get run over, but they
never find it out. They are ferociouslooking
beasts. The biggest part of the Flamaton pig
is that which runs from his high intellectual
brow out to the top of his nose. If he would
stand on his hind legs he would be very tall.
AS for thickness he has none. You could seal
one up in an envelope and in stamping it the
postmaster would never discover that it con-
tanned anything thicker than a sheet of brown
paper. | thought of mailing you one for an or
nament, but | learn that brac-a- brac is no longer
fashionable.
Two thousand years from now so lover of
curlosities will halt in passing through a mu-
scum in front of a queer looking piece of a~ntiqui-
ty and ask of his guide: SIS that O. model of a
flying ship, or the side view of a new-faneled
pen-knife, with corkscrew attachment" The
answer will be: Neither, my son: that is the
last remains of a razorback pig that fiourished in
the nineteenth century, in the southern part of
what was then known as the United States of
America, a place where people had a firm belief
that they were free and felt so secure that they
allowed alien and native land thieves to gobble
up the best lands in the country, and this pig
was forced to grow up and exist in a place where
an acre of ground was not rich enough to raise
anything except just such a pig, and was so hard
that you could not drive a railroad spike through
its top crust with a steam hammer. This pig is
still alive, and he still imagines that he lives at
PLANTATION. We have to watch him closely, for
every time he hears a bell ring or a whistle foot
he makes a break forthe train with the intention
OF mixing himself up with the wheels. He's
bent on suicide still"

Next to ~stagnant water on the surface there is
no more certain indication of the need of drain
age of land than the growth of what we call
water or swamp plants. Where these grow
freely the land is not adapted to the growth of
any of the grasses which are most valuable for
either hay or pasture. Good and thorough
drainage, however, will change such conditions,
allowing better crops to be grown.

superintendent Pagan Scores a Point.

- SOAOo OAAps
ATcHIsoN, Kan, March 9-The situation gen.
orally is unchanged. OnSunday night the strik-
ers took possession of several. passenger trains,
and refused to let more than an engine and a
mail car go through. This programme was con-
tinued till noon to-day. when Super
intendent Pagan took the bold stand
that the company was not required,
under the federal rule. to carry mails or other
than regular passenger trains, with a full COM
plement of coaches, and gave positive orders
that the mail cars should not go out without the
regular coaches attached. Major John M.
Crowell, postofice inspector, then appeared on
the scene, and warned the strikers that, under
such a construction of the law, the strikers
would be liable for stopping mail matter. This
occasioned hasty consultation, and it was finally
agreed to let all passenger trains go through
hereafter, and they are now running reg
ularly. This is regarded by some as a
weakening on the part of the men, although
there was a meeting this evening and a resolu-
ton was adopted to hold the freight engines.
the railroad officials say a portion of the strik-
ers have expressed a desire to return to work,
if the necessary protection is afforded them. The
railroad officials appealed to the City Council and
the sheriff, this evening for protection. These
officials stated that they were powerless, and a
telegram was sent Governor Martin to that eff

THE STRIKING RAILROADERS.
Employees at Kansas City Stop Work-Gov.
Marmaduke Asked to Call Out Militia.

81. LOUIS. March "a Kansas City dispatch
reports that the Missouri Pacifc and Wabash me-
chanical employees in West Kansas City went
out at IL o'clock to-day, as predicted. They
have taken no active measures, as yet, but
freight business is already delayed for lack of
helpers. No passengers arrived on the Missouri
Pacific from the north to-day. the cars being de-
tached at Atchison from two trains and
only mail cars permitted to come through.
A Missouri Pacific official stated to night that
they would not attempt to send passenger trains
further north than L~eayenworth, on account of
trouble at Atchison. Their business in the
freight yards here has been brought to a stand
still, only one freight train being sent out to-day.
No interference with passenger trains has been
offered at this point, and they are running as
usual. TIL strikers are about It's in number.
They demand a restoration of wages from the
last cut. The switchmen are not included in the
strike.
At a meeting tonight the strikers adopted
resolutions misunderstanding violence and pre-
senting their grievances, setting forth that the
company has reduced wages three times since
October last, and urging a restoration. Missouri
Pacific passengers from Omaha and the North
came in over the Council Bluffs road.
AT Denison, Tex, there is no change in the
situation. Attempts to induce the strikers to per-
nit cars to be passed proved failures.
AT Fort Worth the strike remains in Statu
quo. Since the formation of the K. of L. organ
ization yesterday, the strikers have no fears of
their places being filled.
In st. Louis, there was no change in the situa-
ton among railroad men up to a late hour to-
night. The men in the Missouri Pacific shops
have taken no action yet, but some of them al
lege that if they are served with notification that
their wages are to be reduced they will quit
work. Colonel Hoxie has returned from New
York, but he refused to be interviewed regarding
the situation. He states, however, that the
whole matter will be over in a day or two.
Reports from Sedalia say the authorities there
have been asked to assist the railroad officials in
moving trains; that a special police force was
sworn in to-day, and other measures taken to
aid the railroad company, but the strikers are so
numerous that nothing could be done against
them. No conflict is reported, however, and so
far as known there has been no injury done to
property by the strikers.
