JAY GOULD and President J. w.
Thomas recently had a consultation
at Memphis and decided upon the
survey of a railroad from Charleston,
Mo-, to Hickman, Ky, to connect the
Nashville, Chattanooga, and st. Louis
Railroad with Gould's great South
western system. The distance to be
covered by the projected line is only
about forty miles, and the road will,
in all probability, be built next year.

DIsPLEAsED WITH POwDERLY.
The knights said To be Losing Com

Special to the Globe.

Speclal 10 tue 6lOOe.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Knights
of Labor are said to be losing confidence in
Powderly. their chief. and there are signs
of trouble brewing within the ranks of the
order. A Knight to-day expressed the
opinion that there would soon be serious
divisions in the assemblies. The one theme
of discussion at all the meetings at the
present time is the late strike, and the
action of the grand master workman in
connection Herewith. There is much COM
plant against Powderly, and he is blamed
for the continuance of the late difficulties
and the serious turn they took.
Some of the leaders aver
that if Powderly had been a man of
greater firmneSs the trouble would have
been brought to an end at the outset. IL is
claimed that he does not possess the conf
dence OF his subOrdinates to that degree
which will enable him to bring out of the
order all the good of which it is capable.
1t is true that most of the seditious talk
comes from ambitious rivals, and others
who can not do as they please Under the
present administration. but for all that they
intend to give the present chief some an
noyance, and make his continuance in
Office as unpleasant as possible. Among
other things charged up against him is that
he allowed Jay Gould to get the best of
him in the negotiations that passed between
them.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 29.-In the
United States district court to-day Judge
Woods made a ruling in the case of Walter
Station, New York broker, against Jacob
A. Seepley, a Morgan county trustee. who
issued and sold fraudulent township war
rants. The judge expresses doubt as to
the question of jurisdiction in the case.
but holds that in order to recover the
money paid for the warrants it will be
necessary to bring suit upon each separate
warrant, and that recovery cannot be had
unless it is shown that the township re-
ceived the benefit OF the money or goods
given for the warrants. If the warrants
are shown to be fraudulent, the only re-
course is against the trustee; if the town.
ship has received benefit from the warrants.
the sureties of the trustee are also liable.
The amount of this paper negotiated by
the dishonest trustee throughout Indiana is
unknown, but is estimated at from $40. 600
to $4,000. This decision is held to prac-
tically dispose of all suits now pending.

MILWAUKEE, April 29.-The Light
Horse Squadron ball, given this evening at
the exposition building, was a brilliant
affair. In arrangements, color and effect il
surpassed greatly the ball given under the
same auspices last year. The Japanese
style of decoration added mnch to the ac-
complishmentS of this end. Nothing could
have been more strikingly beautiful than
the co-mingling of colors that was
shown during the progress Of the ball, ex-
quisite toilets and military uniforms assist
ing in bearing out the artistic effect
of the scene. 1t was expected
that Maj. Gen. Terry would honos
the occasion with his presence. The general
passed through here on the IL o'clock
train this morning en- route from Fort
Smelling to Chicago. He was met by Col.
Charles King at Oconomowoc, bearing an
invitation from Hon. Alexander Mitchell
that the general would accept his hospitality
during his stay. Gen. Terry, however,
said he was obliged on account of illness in
his family to refuse the kind invitation ex.
tended by the squadron and Mr.. Mitchell to
his deep regret He had withheld his re-
grets until the last moment in hopes that he
would be able to attend, but being nearly
worn out himself together. with the illness
above mentioned, he was forced to decline.
The general was represented therefore at
the ball by Col. Joseph G. Breckenridge,
his chief of staff.

Industrial Notes.

The machine manufacturers and foundry
owners of Chicago held meeting yesterday
to discuss the eight hour movement. Twenty
out of thirty firms were represented. The gen.
eral opinion was that working day of eight
hours was not sufficient for the profitable
conduct of the business, and that if necessary
the establishments would shut down entirely
No association was formed. The understand
ing was that each should treat with his own
men independently.
At a meeting yesterday pearly all the
manufacturers of parlor furniture in the
city of Chicago formed an assoc alton. 1t
was resolved that they would not accede to
the demands of the upholsterers' union for
an increase of 20 per cent. on all piece-wOrk
prices, nor that eight hours should constitute
u days work. About LOCO upholsterers and
finisherS would be affected should the MEM
bers of the upholsterers' nuion strike.
The firm or Rothschild s. Sons, Of Chicago,
states that il will yield to the demands of its
men at Cincinnati. 1t gives ten hours pay
for eight hours work, in order to finish out
standing contracts, but will reduce the work
ing force to one-t1fth its present size. The
firm expects this will end the trouble of the
firm here also.

DEBARRED FROM WORKING.
Plankinton's Packing House at Mil
waukee Closes Down.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE. April 29.-Plankinton &
Co.'s mammoth packing establishment shut
down tonight, not to open again until the
present labor trouble has been settled. This
action on the part of the firm was
something of a surprise to those ac-
quainted with the inner workings of
the establishment. In every other
period of labor agitation the employees Of
the firm have remained steadily at work and
turned q cold shoulder to the suggestions
of agitators. That the firm distrusts its in
fiuence over its men now is significant, as
showing how deep the present agitation
takes root. John Plankinton said this
afternoon that the cause of the firms de-
Gliding to shut down was the dissatisfied
CONDITION OF THE MEN.
In order to save trouble it was decided to
close the works and discontinue killing for
time, until it was seen what shape the
present trouble would take. A few men
employed on yearly contract would re-
main at work in the curing department to
finish up the work now on hand. Mr. Plan
kinton said he thought 1t was best to let the
men have little time to think, after which
he believed they would decide to return to
work. No demands had been made by the
men. but he had seen it coming, and had
taken this way to avoid trouble. He did
not apprehend any serious trouble as the
result of the present agitation. The pack
ing establishment furnishes employment to
800 hands. About fifty will continue at
work.

CITY OF MEXICO. April ga law for

or less and silver i've cent pieces in what
ever quantity the executive may deem
necessary. The nickel law of 1881 is re-

its depreciation.

No Forfeiture of Cbnrter.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 29.-The railroad
commission has made two reports on the
Third avenue railroad strike. The majority
report holds that the company was justified
in resisting the demands of its employees
for the discharge of certain other employees;
that the right to hire and discharge is in
herent in the employer. but that in this
case it was exercised with harshness; that
temporary stoppage of service on ac-
count of a strike cannot justly work a
forfeiture of charter; that the strikers are
blameable for ordering general tie up in
the city. The minority report holds that
the road violated its charter in not running
cars as often as required. and that it treated
its men with bad faith and unfairly.

the objections found in the first. was dis
patched to the Holy See, and is still under

any Catholic to become member until the

Marked by Heavy Batting.

BALTIMORE. April 29.-To-day's game
was marked by heavy batting by both the
Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs, but the
home team punched its hits in the eighth
inning and won the game. Toole and Kib-
roy were the opposing pitchers. A stiff
wind prevented any very effective work,
and both were rather unsteady. Stupid base
running by Scott and Manning allowed the
visitors to make triple play in the fourth
inning. Sommers and Fulmer did the best
batting for Baltimore, and McClellan's
batting, base running and fielding were re-
markably brilliant.
