THE MOLLOY-LEE CASE.
Developments of Yesterday-The Ladies Of
Springfield DESERVING Mrs. Molloy.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. !
SPRINGFIELD, NO., March 19.-This morning
John Brumley concluded his testimony in the
Molloy- Lee case. He said Cora Lee gave some
womans clothing to family named Evans,
and requested him not to say any
thing about it. This was about the
time of the forgery, when Cora Lee told him not
TO cut timber from land opposite the cave. He
did not think she was acting under instructions
from letter.
After Brumleys testimony was ended, consid-
cradle time was taken up in the reading OF
Charlie Graham's testimony which filed eighty
three pages of foolscap. In the afternoon Mrs.
Kate Fay related the circumstances connected
with Graham's leaving the two boys at her house
over night, upon their arrival from st. Louis.
The next witness, Hawkins. colored, said: II

he returned home between midnight and day;

Rumor that the Telegraph Men Intend join
ing the knights Of Labor.


ing the knights Of Labor.
New YORK, March 19-The Telegraphers'
Brotherhood intends going back in body to the
Knights of Labor. After the failure Of the
strike in 1883 there was great dissatisfaction at
the action of the Knights Of Labor in regard to
the strike, and as result the telegraphers gave
up their district charter and started out as
separate organization. Some Of the best men,
however, retained their relations with the
Knights and have worked hard ever since to
counteract the hard feeling left by the strike.
AS a result the brotherhood has made up its
mind to make application for another charter,
which will. without doubt, be granted to it. One
of the leading members said in regard to the
movement yesterday:
s'The late action of the Western Union COM
pany in delaying scrip dividend is regarded by
the men as portending reduction in wages.
AS an isolated body we might have difficulty in
resisting it. but with the backing of the Knights
of Labor they will hesitate to bring on the con-
filct which would undoubtedly result from an
attempt to reduce wages"

Strike Among Farm Laborers.

SEDALIA, No., March l9.-The striking mania
has extended to Pettis and Saline counties,
among class of laborers who, it was supposed,
would be the last to fall into line. The farm
hands Of those counties have demanded of their
employers an increase from $15 and board to
$50 per month and board. The demand was at
first refused, when no less than fifty men quit
work The employers have conceded their de-
mands, however, and nearly all the strikers
have gone back to work at the increased scale.
An organization is to be perfected and the pro-
jectors hope to have the demand Become gen.
eral throughout the State.

SINKING OF THE OREGON.

A Theory that 1t Was Caused by the Ex-
plosion of an Internal Machine.
London Special.
have just met Mr.. Jeffreys, of No. Al Corn
HILL He is we'll known in America as civil en-
gineer. For the last three years he has been
resident here. His wife and son were passen-
gers on the Oregon. He told me he had profes
sionally thought over such details of the alleged
collision as were imperfectly reported by cable,
and found himself, as an engineer, puzzled by
the reports. He continued: II selected
the Oregon for my wife and son be-
strength, l remembered having been told
by Mr.. Bryce Douglas, of John Elder & Co., the
Oregon's builders, that he thought it impossible
she could ever sink, on account of her compart-
ments and OF the careful selection of material
and the workmanship in her building. The
Oregon is said to have been under nineteen
knots speed, and no sailing vessel is likely TO
have been sailing to exceed twelve knots. There
is no angle can conceive of at which any sail
ing vessel could have struck steamer of that
magnitude and at that speed and produce the
injury reported. And even If the alleged
colliding craft had struck the Oregon, the
striking would, as it seems to me, have undoubt-
edly thrown the alleged schooner back,
but not in manner to sink her Immediately. or
to do so before at least some person would have
noticed the schooner. / read that the horizon
could have been seen at the time of the accident
/ therefore Immediately. on Monday, suggested
to a neighbor that an explosive material may
have occasioned the catastrophe, and shall be-
lieve so until the alleged schooner is Identified
Naturally, / thought the matter over deeply,
having an interest in the passenger list"
Tho accident excites great interest here, and
the curious disappearance OF the schooner-much
like Marrysts phantom ships much COM
mented on.

How It Looks at st. Louis.

ST. Louis, March 19-The probability that
the employees of the various railroads in East St
Louis will strike becomes less day by day. The
men arc all at their posts this morning as usual,
and it is stated, viii remain there until ordered
to strike by Master Workman Powderly. 1t is
quite well understood that the roads which have
not already granted the requested advance in
wages will do so when their employees present
the schedule desired by them, providing their
demands shall not be excessive.
The situation in this city. this morning. shows
absolutely no change. Suburban passenger
traffic has been resumed, and no further inter
ference from the Knights of Labor with this
branch OF the railroads business is anticipated
All the suburban trains left and arrived on time
this morning No attempt has been made for
some days past to move freight trains, and, al
though the company's plans are not generally
known it is presumed that no attempt to resume
freight traffic will be made until the strike is
ended.
The local situation at the shops and in
the yards this afternoon and tonight has
been unchanged. The only incident of the
day worthy of special note occurred be-
tween and o'clock, this evening. Louis Hal
Ter, painter in the car shops-a new hand-left
the shops about P. M. for his home. While
passing down the track he was hooted at and
followed by a crowd who jeered at and insulted
him. They still followed him after he left the
yards, and threw rocks, hitting him on the
shoulder and back. He then fred pistol over
their heads to frighten or drive them back, and
started to run, but this did not stop Them and
when, as he thought, some of them attempted
to head him of, he fred directly at them and
HalIer was then arrested and locked up It was
afterwards proved that Bralla did not belong to
the crowd, but was quietly walking the street
on his way to visit some relatives His wound
is not severe.

Marmaduke and Martin as Mediators.

KANSAS Cry, No., March I9-Governor
Marmaduke, of Missouri, and Governor Martin,
OF Kansas, have decided that public interest
renders it necessary for them to endeavor to act
az mediators in the present strike. They have
prepared proposition which, after considera-
tion, has been accepted by the strikers, and the
two Governors left tonight for St Louis to lay
it before the railroad officials. The men agree
to return to work on the basis Of the settle
ment adopted at the close of the strike year
ago-that is, they will come back on the terms
of agreement in force at the time they struck,
simply making q request that the question of
increasing the wages Of bridge and track men
be taken into account The matter of Halls
reinstatement on the Texas & Pacific was not
mentioned in the proposition.
Mr.. Powderly did not leave for ST. Louis, as
he had intended, but is in secret conference
with the executive delegation this evening, and
has not been interviewed since his receipt of
Mr.. Hoxies reply to his request for a meeting.
The general feeling here is one of strong
hope that the intercession of the State execu-
tives viii! secure settlement between the Of
fcials and men, as it did year ago, and an early
conclusion of the strike.

Knights Of Labor, since the executive officer of
that order will not be permitted to meet and co.
operate with you in settling the strike 1t was
my intention, had you consented to meet with
me, to endeavor to effect such a settlement as
would prevent impositions being practiced upon
the employees Of your company by subordinate
officials, and put an end to strikes on your lines
for the future. T.. ". PowDERLY"
Mr.. Powderly. when seen at late hour by
an Associated Press representative, stated that
he had concluded his business here, and would
leave tomorrow morning, going probably to
Detroit or Canada. The executive boards, he
said, discussed the situation to-nigb. and decided
to take no immediate action. They will now
await the result of the conference Of the two
Governors with Mr. Hoxie before doing anything
further Mr. Powderly said he was present at
the conference when the Knights accepted the
proposition Of the Governors, mentioned in an
other dispatch, this evening When questioned
as to the future course of the Knights of Labor,
in case the railroad officials continued to decline
to treat with them, he said that would be
matter for future determination.
