TIE MISSOURI PACIFIC STRIKE.
A Sheriff Called Upon for Assi5tance-A Com
promise Considered Probable.

ST. Louis, March 14-A telegram from
Dernison, Texas, says: 'Sherff Douglass, with
a posse of two hundred men, arrived at
noon, to-day, and rendered his services
to Superintendent Vandyne, of the Missouri
Pacific, to protect employees who wished to work.
Vandyne desired that the sheriff keep the posse
in the yard from day to day until all freight is
removed, but Douglass would not agree to keep
the posse longer than ore day. During the par
leying large crowd gathered, expecting
a conflict Vandyne finally concluded to move
what freight he could. An engineer was found
who fired up an engine, under protection of
Douglass, and they then ran up the track and
hitched on to dead" engine, the strikers
standing by. Douglass gave the signal to 60
ahead, whereupon the engineer coolly walked out
Of the cab, and this ended the fasco. The
sheriff with his posse left on a special
train. Great excitement prevailed. The city is
full of people, who anticipated riot. The
strikers made no demonstration. They are we'll
disciplined, and the opinion prevails tonight
that the strike will result in compromise The
section men struck to-day. Rumors are current
that the engineers will also strike unless a set
tlement is shortly reached.
telegram from Marshall, Tex, says: "Man-
ager Hoxie's teegraghic proposition to the strik-
ers. asking if they would go to work on the old
wages, was not accepted. The strikers desire a
fuller, more explicite understanding and guar
antee than is contained in his proposition To
night number of delegates from other points
held conference with the Marshall strikers and
agreed on proposition to resume work, which
will be submitted to the company Immediately.
1t is generally conceded that the proposition
will be accepted Monday. The strikers will to-
morrow allow freights to be moved.

New YORK. March l4.-The Astors own the
Bowery Theater, lately called the Thalia and
devoted to German performances. In the lease
is clause providing that certain proscenium
box shall be exclusive to Astor use, and never
be profaned by other occupancy. Not once in a
season, unless the stage be in use for something
wonderfully good, does any Astor think it worth
while to take advantage of this clause, and the
present tenants have made it practice to sell
the sacred box whenever they get chance
Sonnenthal, the great Austrian actor, is now
playing at the Thaia. His engagement is for
only twenty performances and then he returns
to Europe, without making tour of the United
States. curious fact is that he will act Ham
let" only once, although it is lis greatest role.
and the demand for seats on that exceptional
occasion is so large that from bust
ness point of view it would be better for
the manager to keep Hamlet" on the stage for
many repetitions A fanciful reason given for
not doing so is that his relations with Edwin
Booth were SO cordial during Booths recent
visit to Germany, that he politely refuses to
meddle much with that actors chief part while
in this country. more tangible feature of the
season to make folks chatter is in the Astor box.
A woman has sat there alone every night thus
far, with her face hidden from the audience by
the arrangement of a veil, and ever intent on
Sonnenthal all the time that he is on the stage.
She is the enamored woman who according to
an old European story, never misses one of his
performances wherever he goes. AS he needs
no adventitious advertising in this country,
owing to his immediate return to Germany,
there is thought to be a genuineness in this
freak uncommon to most theatrical exploits.

GLOOM AND DE4 TH.

The horrible disaster which befell
the miners in the Nanticoke mines
at Wilkesbarre, Pa, has east q deep
gloom over that city. Last Friday
the workmen' went down into the
bowels Of the earth to their daily
work, little dreaming they were per-
haps seeing the last Of the bright
sunlight and bidding the last fare
well to homes and loved ones. Sud-
denly great, loud roaring and rush
ing was heard, and in a brief period
thousands Of tons of sand, rock and
culm went shooting down the shaft
and buried the miners beneath its
awful weight. Fathers, sons, broth
ers, loyers--all fonnt their graves
far down beneath the rock-ribbed
hills. Imagine the agony Of friends
and families, as they realized the
awful fate Of the buried miners. The
proper steps were at once taken to
reach the entombed men. On Mon
day the rescuing party came near
meeting like fate, when at O'Clock
at night they were suddenly inter
rupted by another great fall of sand
and stone. just think Of the horror
Of those miners, who have now been
beneath that great mountain ofdebras
for seven days! Women and chill
dren who have hardly closed their
eyes since Friday, seem almost era
zy. Screams and walls of anguish
from women rend the air, while the
exhausted miners sit around the
mouth Of the mine in sullen despair.
Crowds Of people, for miles around,
have viewed the scene of desolation.
1t will be a dark and mournful Christ
mas to the people of Wilkssbarre
Dark. dreary and blighted are their
hopes at this season ofjoy and peace,
with grim death and gloom in their
homes. 1t will probably be about
two weeks before the entombed mi
ners can be reached.

Enniay Against America.

WAsHIHGToN, Dec. 22.-The annu-
al report of Jacob Muller, United
States Consul General at Frankfort
on-the- Main, Germany, has been re-
ceIyed at the State Department. He
calls attention to the reactionary
tendencies prevailing in that coun-
try in the industrial and commercial
relations with the United States,
which tendencies he says explain
the ill-will Of the official and ruling
sphere against the United States.
They dread he says, American hogs,
wheat and American imports gener-
ally; but still more the importation
Of American ideas. Not only is the
tendency to retrogression noticeable,
he says, in the political, economic
and religious spheres Of life, but the
barriers existing between mankind
are also fostered and multiplied to
such an extent that the spirit ofcaste
is again becoming prominent and
the feudal system resurrected.

CHRISTMAS POEMS.
CHRISTMAS EVE.


The Winter night is dark and cold,
The sad night-winds 90 moaning BY,
Aud fold on fo,d the snow clouds piled
Have quenched the star-beams in thu
sky.
1t is the holy Christmas.time
That sheds glow through all the year.
Hark, how the bells. a silv'ry chime,
Ring out their welcome far and neari
blessed season, angel-guest,
Thou contest alike to all on earth,
Bearing sweet gifts Of love and rest,
OF precious hope and heartfelt mirth.
For ey'ry life hath pain or sin,
Or burdens that are hard to bear:
But Christmas comes to cheer and win
Our thoughts away from earthly care
The world-tried heart, the troubled mind.
Anxious and careful oyermuch,
We hrng. as once the manned and blind
Sought for the Masters healing touch.
Our heavy loads aside we lay,
Rtjoced to rest little while,
TO find IN oasis in the gray
Where palms and cooling waters smile.
Sing, happy children, loud and longl
There is no heart SO full of care
But will be glad to hear your song
And in your simple music share.
Ring, Christmas bell, and tell again
The good old truth for ever new!
There is no heart so dull with pain
But will rejoice and sing with you.
