Running smoothIx.

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 13.-The strike seems
to have died out to- day, there being alb
solutely no appearance OF trouble. All
roads are running their full number of
cars and in most cases the police have
been withdrawn from the cars. There
is no interruptions TO traffic az all, which
is fortunate, as the day is very rainy and
the streets very muddy. Several of the
strikers have gone back to work to-day,
but the Knights of Lsbor claim that
these men wers never members of the
order and that they only quit work
through tear About 600 strikers have
been meeting at Turner hail all the
morning, with tightly closed doors. bui

The present season has been one of
the most successful known to the coun-
try for many years 10 the matter of fairs
and expositions, and the people gener-
ally in the several localities where they
have been held, have responded with
more than usual lberality to their sup
port. This is very healthy sign in q
nation given almost exclusively to
money getting, and the periodical fairs
and the occasional exposItions can be
depended upon to call a halt In the
] grand rush and turn the vast procession
into their pleasant precincts.
There is q grand magnetism in the
crowd which every member of It feels
and to which every member uncon.
sciously contributes, and it is hard for the
visitor to say whether the fair or the
presence of the people contributed mos

postoffice here. Inspector Speese, of
Pittsburg, recently discovered a deficit
of $4,000 in the accounts of Decatur
Wells, the postmsster's son. 1t has now

shortage in May, which was paid over to
the Inspector by his brOther.iu-law.
The subsequent discovery of $4,000
shortage has led to more discoveries.
His victims are all foreigners employed
for the most part in the extensive car
shops of the Pennsylvania rail ways.
