LABOR AND hABORERS.
Skilled Workmen Leave Their Places in Aid
of Their Unskilled Brethren.


Fort WORTH. Tex. March 2.-There is uni
versa surprise in this city at the great railroad
strike which began here last evening. There
was nc intimation that it was coming At 800
the whistle at the round house blew, and at once
every machinist car repairer, section hand, bag
gage handler. and. in fact, every man who
belongs to Assembly No. 101, Knights of Labor,
stopped work. The business of the Texas Pa
cifc and Missouri Pacific was almost completely
suspended here. Three hundred men had
stopped work in an instant. The orders came
from Sedala. The causes are said to be numer-
ous but the chief one is that ST. so per day is de-
manded as days wages for unskilled laborers
who now receive ST. 10 per day. Other reasons
are the refusal to make eight hours days work
and the discharge of men at Marshall. No
freight trains went out last night. and all the
freight engines are in the round house. No rail-
road work of any description is being done, ex-
cept the movement of passenger trains, and no
one is left to handle the baggage but the bag
gaeemaster.
Later advices regarding the strike give an in
terview with General Brown, one of the receiv-
ers of the road, which, IN substance, is as fol-
lows: ''The workmen in the shops at Marshall
Big Springs and Fort Worth walked out yester-
day. but no employe of the company has ever
laid any grievance before the receivers their
agents If any man felt aggrieved, and had ex-
pressed it. we should have Immediately looked
into the grievance, and would have righted any
wrong we found. We are determined to protect
our employees against any wrongs from
ourselves or our agents. or from outside
Intermediates. We claim, however, the right to
adjust our differences, if any there be. between
ourselves and our employees without the media
ton of people who are not in our employ. We
pay our employees promptly, and we claim they
shall prefer their grievances direct to US, and not
invoke the oficious interference of persons who
do not appear ON our rolls, and who are unknown
to u.s.
From other sources it is stated that the strike
is likely to become general on all the Gould lines
in Texas as well as the Texas Pacific, and that
the trouble may extend to other roads in the
State

The Investigation in the Case of ShelbyvilIe's
Presbyterian Minister.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
NATION, March 2-The Mattoon Presbytery
met in this city this afternoon to investigate the
application of Rev. Edward Carleton. Presbyte-
rian minister at Shelbyville. who is charged with
not being able to produce satisfactory credentials
emitting him to admission to the presbytery.
Rev. ]. NJ Johnson. of Neoga. was elected mod
orator. Rev. Carleton is on the ground, and is
ready to meet his accusers. A delegation from
his congregation came with him to assure
him of their confidence in his integrity,
and to aid him in his defense with
counsel Hon. George D. Chaffee and Elder
Hanneman. of Shelbyville, have his case in
hand. The former stated, in behalf of his
client. that there was chapter in Mr.. Carleton's
life affecting only himself and his family. and in
no wise rejecting upon his Christian character,
| which was best for all concerned to be kept a
secret. However, this chapter would be revealed
in its entirety to any committee appointed by
the presbytery the committee first agreeing to
keep the secret sacred. Upon the verdict of this
committee Mr. Carleton was willing to rest his
application for admission to the presby-
terry. While his credentials are not now
in due form, he asks for more time to make
them good. In difference to his request, COM
mittee of three ministers and two elders were
appointed to take evidence in private and to re-
port at 7:30 o'clock this evening.
Rev, Carleton, last September, made con-
tract with the Shelbyville congregation to fill
| their pulpit for year Should he fail in having
his application for membership in the presbytery
| approved. he would either have to be dismissed,
or the Shelbyville church would have to with
draw from the presbytery. The people of his
church. during his FIVE months ministration
| have become very much attached to him, and
they hope that no stroke of church discipline will
| deprive them of his services.
