strike, and that as far ashe knew none
will be taken.
All freight traffic over the bridge is
entirely suspended this morning and
none, except passenger trains,
have been allowed to pass over
since last night. Passenger trains
are made up by yardmasters
and bridge superintendents, who also
do all the switching necessary to
bring trains into position at the Union
depot. Each road is obliged to use its
own engines in making end tFansferr-
ing its cars, as none of the bridge en-
gines are in use. The bridge compa-
ny's engineers and fremen have not as
yet gone out, but they refuse to do any
of the work which has heretofore been
done by shopmen, such as repairing,
cleaning, etc. Whenever an
engine becomes injured, or its
machinery needs cleaning, there is
no one to dc. the work and the engine is
put aside. All passenger trains for the
East and West have succeeded in start
ing out this morning, but all have
been more or less delayed on account
of the difficulty the few men in the
yards and depot experienced in max
ing up trains.
At the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain yard everything is quiet, and
no disturbance has occurred and none
is expected. Squads Of guards, ap-
pointed by the Knights Of La
Dor, continually patrol the yards,
protecting the company's property and
dispensing groups Of men who become
at all excited in discussing the situa-
tion, and in this way perfect order
prevails.
A rumor to the effect that all knights
of labor employed by all the roads
which have yards in East St. Louis
will strike this evening is in circula-
ton. This has been confirmed by one
of the superintendents of the Bridge
and Tunnel Company, who says that
such a move is certainly in contem-
plation. Knights Of Labor when ques-
toned about affairs, maintain strict
silence and will make no statement in
confirmation or denial Of the rumor
The managers of the Missouri Pa
ci6c railway Offices in this city notified
their clerks that they had decided tc
relieve them from duty indefinitely
This action has been taken by the com
pany in order to curtail as much al
possible their expenses during the con
tinuance Of the Knights of Labo
strike upon their road. The orde
affects sixty telegraph operators ant
two hundred Office clerks.

The Planters Greatly Encouraged
by the River Falling, Etc.
Special to Commercial Herald.
LAKE PROVIDENCE, March 10.-The
river at this point has fallen two and
one-half inches in the past twenty
four hours, which is encouraging to the
planters, although the recent contin-
ued rains have retarded planting oper-
ations at least two or three weeks later
than last season. The weather changed
last night, however, and was freezing
to-day.

JACKSON, MISE. March 9.-The
ways and means committee submitted
its report to-day and the house is con-
sidering the same in sections. The
privilege list has been largely extend.
ed and the increase to the State treas
ury from this source alone will be
large.
The following are the recommends
tions for changes in the present law:
Privilege on each express company
doing business in the State, 81 800, and
on each express Office from IS to $40,
owing to the size of the town.
The privilege on telegraph compa-
MES ranges from $500 to $4,000, ac-
cording to the number of miles of line
operated.
On steam ferries on the Mississippi
river from twenty-five to one hundred
and fifty dollars; on trading cars, from
fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars,
owing to the amount of track run over.
On each physician where his income
dLuOuuIS W OuO CuOunduu uOlldlo1 Icu
dollars; on the same where his income
exceeds five hundred dollars, five dol
lars. Heretofore physicians have not
been required to pay privilege tax.
Building and loan associations are
taxed from twenty-five to two
hundred and fifty dollars, according to-
me number of shares issued.
4 A bill passed the house authoriz-
ing the treasurer to issue five
hundred thousand dollars in bonds,
redeemable in twenty years, and bear
ing six per cent interest. The same
bill gives authority to borrow money
to meet the present needs at eight per
cent, the Indebtedness not to extend
longer than ten months and to be
redeemed with money arising from
the sale of bonds. Unless authority
of this kind had been given the State
could not have met its Indebtedness
on account of the common school
fund.
The joint committee of both houses
made its report to-day on the East
Mississippi insane asylum at Meridian,
in which the stewart, W. d. Cameron,
is very severely criticised, but no
reflection is made on the superin'
tendent or assistant,

ST. LOUIS, March l0.-An important
factor Of the evidence in the case of
H. M. Brooks, alias Maxwell, the al
legged murder of Chas. Arthur Preller,
has disappeared, and diligent search is
being made for it. The lost link in
the chain of evidence against Brooks
is the Chamois money belt. which
Preller wore about his body Just pre-
vious TO his death; and which was
afterwards found in one Of Maxwell's
trunks. The belt had been cut from
the body and the shape Of the incision
corresponded exactly to the shape Of a
pair Of surgical scissors also found
among Maxwell's possessions. All
efforts to recover the lost articles have
thus far been fruitless.

tors Of the East Street Reaper Works,
promises to be long continued. Mr..
N Whiteley, who is at the head Of the

ing:
"This Is to certify that I have with
drawn from the Knights Of Labor or
associations of like kind and am no
longer under their dictation, having
restored myself to manhood and inde-
pendence as free American citizen"
Everything now awaits the arrival
Of the National arbitration board of
Knights of Labor.
Mr.. Whiteley says he Is lighting for q
principle, and refuses to treat with any
committee representing the Knights Of
Labor, but win treat with commissions
ers individually as independent citi-
zens. It is doubtful whether he will
treat with National board of arbitra-
tion on les arrival.
