Lawlessness at Atchison-Trains Thrown
from the Track and Locomotives Disabled.
ATcHIsoN, Kan, March 29-The strike situa-
tion here to-day was very serious. The strikers,
not satisfied with simply ''killing" engines.
ditched trains, stripped engines, tampered with
switches and soaped the track. The sheriff and
a strong posse of deputies manned train at
o'clock this morning. and ran the gauntlet with
it, barely escaping misplaced switch, and sent
it safely west. In the afternoon two trains ar
rived from the Omaha branch. A switch was
thrown ahead of the second one, and the rails
smeared with soap, so that it was impossible to
stop the train. which ditched. The engine
was then dismantled. Theme were more reck-
less than at other time during the strike. They
declared that Powderly had sold them out A
warrant is out for about one hundred strikers.
The sheriff has a disciplined force of deputies
and thinks he can make the arrest. The strikers
are still congregated on the company's right-of-
way, but are qniet and will probably not resume
operations until morning.

President Cleveland and the Strike.

President Cleveland and the Strike.
WASHINGTON, March 80 "A statement was
published here this afternoon to the effect that
President Cleveland had been in telegraphic
correspondence with Mr.. Jay Gould concerning
the labor troubles in the Southwest, urging him
not to stand in the way of arbitration. 1t can
be stated on good authority that the President
has had no communication with Mr.. Gould or
anyone else concerned in relation to the labor
troubles. Some time ago, much impressed with
the necessity for some sort of an arbitration
board, composed of persons whose character
would give confidence to employees and employ
ers, and whose authority would be respected, he
did think of calling the attention of Congress to
the subject as one demanding early and consid-
crate action. But he learned that it would be
suggested by one of the committees OF the
House, and he has done no more than make
some suggestions to Mr.. O'Neill. the chairman
of that committee, with whom he has talked
freely in regard to the matter.

are for accrued interest on city bonds and were
sendersd in favor of Fatman 8 Ranger Of the
Portland Savings Bank, and the Augusta Savings

s22, ,03810. The Marshal under instructions.
requested the Council to pay him the
amount or turn over to him the
property of said city, to be
levied on in satisfaction Of said executions, and
the same was demanded. After the service of
the papers upon the Mayor and Council, Mayor
Bridvell stated to Marshal Hawkins that there
was no money In the treasury for the
payment Of interest or principal, no
levy having been made for that
purpose, all the money In the treasury having
6een appropriated to the different department,
The marshal will return this answer to the court
and supplementary proceedings will be institut-

found. Additional mandamus proceedings will

developed nothing new to-day. Everything is
quiet, and likely to remain for the next
twenty four hours, at least, as the railway Off
cials say they will not attempt to run any cars
at present. If the difficulty is not settled in a

arrived from the east to-day. Two more started
east and one west, all under guard. As the

attempt to move them was abandoned. It is
reported that Sheriff Ropriequet of st. Clair
county, who was present this morning, and was
totally unable to control the strikers, has ap-
peaied to the Governor of Illinois for military
aid, but this has not beer verified.
About o'clock this afternoon three crowds Of
strikers left the relay depot and went to the
yards of the Ohio & Mississippi and c., B. g. Oh

"kiled" an engine at each place. The Wabash

PARSONS, Kan, March 29-The aid of 15o
special policemen and fifty deputy shsriffs was
insufficient, to-day, to enable the company to

back. While second attempt to start was be-

the sheriff and endeavored to drag him from the

standing the cow-catcher, trying to speak,
was hooted down. At this juncture news of a

owners has several times ordered the output,
both of coal and iron to be reduced This was
effected in the most oppressive way Instead Of
reducing the hours of labor, certain mines were

have somewhat improved. Larger outputs were

increase of wages, but return to the scale from
which they had been reduced last fall. The de-

OTHER CHURCH MATTERS,

Proposed Organization of q Central Indiana
Association of Christian Ministers.
The ministers of the Christian Church of CEN
trail Indiana are preparing to organize an asso-
citation to be called the Central Indiana Minis
terial Association. A ass-meeting of ministers
will, before long, be held at Butler University
to perfect the organization. A full programme
will be arranged, and an abundance OF time
given for general discussion of the various topics
presented. The Christian ministers already sus-
tain two such associations, one in northern and
the other in southern Indiana. But these usu-
ally meet too far from the center of the State
to secure a large attendance from this region;
hence the need of another association. Dele
gates from these three associations will compose
the State Ministerial Association. as the other
two formerly have done. A large and repre-.
sentative meeting is confidently expected. Min

Second Day of the Conference at Muncie-
The Liquor Question Under Discussion.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Sept. 16.-The forty-seventh session
of the Indiana Conference of the Methodist
rotestant Church reconvened at $50 o'clock this
morning. The first half hour was devoted to
devotional exercises which were both impressive
and interesting. AT 9 o'clock the secretary
called the roll, and a large majority of the mem
bership was found to be present The commit
tees previously appointed submitted re-
ports DR.. Stewart, Of Kendallvllle, was
by vote of the conference, made
an honorary member of the same
F. M. Hussey, of Edinburg, Ind, chairman of
the board Of control committee submitted his
annual report, which excited much discussion
as to the financial condition Of the society. A
committee of one from each district was ap-
pointed by the chair to confer with this board
with view to devising means by which to in
crease the usefulness of that branch of the
church work At this point Rev. T. E. Lancas-
ter, of Ednburg, Ind, introduced the following
series of resolutions
Resolved, That the efforts of the friends of temper
to promote entire abstinence from the of
dent spirits. except as medicine, meet with
dial appreciation.
Resolved That we greatly regret that any protested
Christians should at this day and under the light that
Providence has furnished, continue to manufacture
and aruent spirits.
Resolved That earnestly hope that the making
vending and using of distilled liquors article of
luxury or diet will be abandoned by all friends of the
Redeemer throughout country and throughout
the world.
molten to adopt the resolutions as read
brought out quite an in Interesting and rather ex-
citing discussion of the methods of suppressing
the liquor traffic. While no direct statements
were made as TO the political status of this ques-
ton, it could be readily inferred from the state
ments and arguments that this body of reverend
gentlemen was in no humor to fritter away its
votes any side-ssues, but was determined to
accept the best that appears available. This dis
cussion was participated in by Rev. Flood, of
Jonesboro; Rev. w. W. Lineberry, of ST. Joe,
Ind, Rev. Jones. and numerous other ministers.
AS sequel to the discussion. the following reso-
luton, introduced by Rev. Stanton, of Naples,
Ind, was unanimously adopted
Reslved That in the exercise of the very high priv
ilege of franchise, will vote for no man who will
not pledge himself TO do all he to the enact
ment the execution of such laws as shall protect
our country from the curse of the liquor traffic.
The afternoon session opened with devo-
tional exercises conducted by Rev. W. H Green,
of Hartford City The afternoons business con-
sisted almost entirely of the examination of
members and applicants for the ministry. The
sessions Of the conference are largely attended.
Services are held each evening, and the church
is filed to its utmost capacity.
