In the Wrong Pew.

About p M. yesterday several guard
stationed on the Missouri Pacifc's property
concluded to take a walk to the house OF
prostitution run by the famous Mrs. OBan-
non, presumably on official duty. 1t hap
pened that they were not well posted as To
the location of the ranch, as they as
cended the steps of a dwelling directly
opposite their intended destination, and a
rap at the door brought out the occupant,
Mrs. Martin, whose husband is employed
as boiler washer in the Missouri Pacific
shops. Learning their n ission Mrs. Mar
tin entered the house, leaving the men on
the steps, and procuring a gun, she re-
turned. The deputies, at the sight of the
shotgun, suddenly remembered that they
were not where they had been stationed by
their commanding officer, and Immediately
made tracks toward the yards. One OF
their number, however, who travels under
the name of Bill Hogan, not being aware
of the presence of the weapon, remained
uCtil Mrs. Martin reappeared, when she
aimed at him and fired. Luckily, she was
lacking in craftsmanship, and the ball
struck the ground, greatly to the relief of
the special" who soon followed the ex-
ample of his brother officers, and was a
few moments later conversing On the dan
eTs of making a mistake.

Parnell's Picture.

The able and exhaustive argument of
Ri. Hon. W. f. Gladstone, the great
English premier, delivered in the house of
commons yesterday on his bill establishing
home rule for Ireland and the creation of
an Irish parliament, was read very care
fully by the sons of Erin in this city, all of
whom expressed great satisfaction. Passing
by the business place of an enthusiasts ic
Parnellite yesterday afternoon, BAzoo
reporter had his attention called TO a fine
steel engraving, which its proud poSseSsor
said was an excellent likeness OF the eighty
three fine lads who now constitute the
home rule party in the English house OF
commons and will be members of the new
Irish parliament. Parnell was represented
standing, while around him on either side
sat his tried and trusted supporters, not a
few of whom are young men, and whose
handsome and animated looking counten-
ances are in pleasing contrast to the gray
haired patriots and statesmen who have
for years labOred for the freedom of
Ireland

COMPELLED to Leave.

Yesterday morning hard-lOoking citi-
zen entered the NJ, X. & t. yards from the
east gate and was making his way toward
the shops when he was accosted by guard
and commanded to halt, which he failed to
do. The failure caused pair of revolverS
TO be pointed at him, and the query,
"Where are you going?" brOugh. the an
swer, ''tO the shops" He was informed,
however, that the shopmen were not anx-
icus to see him, whereupon he refused to
leave until two revOlvers were cooked and
he was compelled to leave or be riddled
with bullets. This had the desired effect,
and the man turned back and left. 1t is
said several occurrences of a like nature
have taken place, but the specials are
always prepared for the unwelcome callers.

Reunited

A rather interesting instance of how
parents and children were parted during
the dark days of slavery come to the notice
of BAzoo reporter yesterday. Mrs. Mel
vina Williams was slave owned by Mr..
James Bouldin, now deceased. Mr.. Boul-
din resided on his farm in this county dur
ing the winter and in summer lived on his
rancho in Texas. Mrs. Williams had a
little girl who was taken to his home in
Texas by Mr.. Bouldin as a playmate for
his little daughter. There the young slave
remained and in the course of time was
married to a colored man named James
Cunningham. Mother and daughter thus
so long separated, naturally lost all knowl-
edge of each other, but the desire to once
more see her old mother was so strong as
TO Induce the long lost daughter to COM
mence an investigation. Correspondence
was opened with Mr.. James Bouldin, Jr.,
and, it being learned beyond doubt that
the little girl who was taken to Texas years
ago, is still alive and yearns to see her
mother. The latter left for that place last
night, transportation being furnished by
Mr.. Bouldin. The meeting between the
mother and daughter who have so long
been parted will doubtless be a happy
one

DIED IN. A COACH.
Death of the Wife of the Road
master of the TT. Worth *
Denver Railroad.

From Conductor "Shady" Burnap.
of the NJ, h. IL I. road. who brought
a train in from Nevada last evening,
the BAZoo learned Of an unusually
sad death which occurred at that
point in a chair car attached to pas
senger train No. 125, on the Lexing-
ton and Southern division of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning.
The victims name was unknown to
Mr.. Burnap, but she was the wife of
the roadmaster of the Fort Worth
Il Denver railway, and the mother
i'm law of Mr.. James Keller, formerly
employed in the NJ, X. d L. shops
here, but now residing in Kansas
City.
The lady had been i'll for some time
past with consumption, and thinking
that change of climate might prove
beneficial, she determined 10 pay her
daughter, Mrs. Keller, visit. Ac.
companied by another daughter, aged
about twelve years, she started on her
journey north, but grew rapidly
worse. She arrived at Nevada
on passenger train No. 154 at
an early hour yesterday morning,
and was then transferred to the chair
car on train No. 125, in charge of
Conductor Nudge. Her sinking con-
dition was noticed by the trainmen,
and everything possible was done for
her relief, but to no purpose, and she
died at the hour stated.
The bereaved husband and Mrs.
Keller were informed by telegraph of
the sad event, but no reply had been
received at the time of Mr.. Burnap's
departure, and the presumption is
that the corpse was taken to Kansas
City.

Nor is it DictatOrial, But, In
stead, "Higher Order
of Civilization"
The "'DemOcrat" Said the Princi-
pie Was Right i'm the Alb
stract and Practice,
And it Was the Natural Right OF
Free Born Men to Carry
on Boycott.

The following was published in the
SedaHa Democrat January II, 1885,
at which time Jno. d. Russell, now
postmaster of Sedalia, was the man
ager of that paper:
''BOycOtting" newspaper is not a
new means for outraged labor to as
Sert its rights. 1t has been practiced
in a number of places with success.
The st. Louis Republican, which at
tempted to get along last fall without
union printers; was successfully boy
cOtted, and was glad to make terms
with the union. The Washington
Post furnished another example, not
being able to hold out long against
the organized labor unions.
In city the size of Sedalia, hav-
ing so many societies whose members
are bound together by common ties
in the effort to make their daily bread,
Chere are few merchants or business
men who can afford to incur the2 dis
pleasure of the laboring element
While it may seem like an arbitra-
~ action for the members of these
unions to say where a merchant shall
not advertise or what paper he shall
not subscribe for, yet it is not intend
ed as dictatOrial at all. 1t is simply
the one practical way the laboring
men have of securing their rights.
They do not forbid the merchant
doing as he pleases. They merely
say that if he does certain things by
which he lends aid and encouragement
to the enemy, then he will lose their
patronage.
There are few merchants in Sedalia
who can afford to have the mechanics
and labOring men of this city arrayed
against them. Their trade is what
keeps up the business of the city.
They number in the various unions
not far short of 900 men-about
one twentieth part of the population,
and represent about One-fitth of the
families who purchase goods. Such
an array of cash trade is not to be ig-
nored or carelessly trifed with.
The principle of these unions is
right in the abstract and practice, and
should be encouraged. 1t is the eman-
cipation of labor from the thralldom
of capital. 1t is the assertion of the
natural rights OF free born men, and
should be respected as such.

At Rest.

Yesterday morning at $50 o'clock John
Dougherty, an old man about Is years of
age, breathod his last in room over the
Missouri Pacific bar. There was sometbir
peculiarly sad about the death of this ole
man, among strangers and far away ON
the beloved country which contains all Of
his kindred. For years past he has been
employed as a section laborer on the
Missouri Pacific. Arriving in this city
last fall, completely broken down in health
and entirely destitute, he applied to his
former foreman, Mr. John Quirk, for assist
ance, which was most generously sccorded
by that gentleman, who has seen that the
poor old man received every attention dur
ing the long months he suffered the pangs
of an incurable disease, cancer of the
stomach.

A PRAYER by Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The chap
lain's opening prayer this morning was as
follows: Give ear. oh God of Jacob.
and awaken us to see the danger which
threatens the civilized world, a revolution
more tremendous than any which history
tells, in which scenes of reign Of terror
may be enacted in every capital Of Europe
and America. For long a few have
mastered many, because they understood
the opening secret OF the tools to them
that can use them; but now how many
have learned the secret of organization,
drill and dynamite. Rouse the rich of
the world to understand that the time has
come for grinding, selfish monopoly to
cease; that corporations may get souls in
them, with justice, honor, conscience and
human kindness. Teach the rich men Of
this country that great fortunes are lent
them by Thee for other purposes than to
build and erect palaces. to found private
collections Of art. to stock wine cellars, TO
keep racing studs and yachts, aud find
better company than hostlers, grooms and
jockeys, pool sellers and book
makers. Teach them. oh God,
that it is Thee who has given
them power TO get these fortunes; that it
is to prove to them. to know what is in
their hearts, whether they will keep Thy
commandments or no, and that these
commandments are: Thou shalt love the
Lord, thy God, with all thy heart aud thy
neighbor as myself That il the rich
men of our land keep these command
ments, the poor will follow the example,
and we, at least, will be saved from days
of tribulation that are fast coming on all
the world. Help US, oh. God, and save
us
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, asked unani-
nous consent that the prayer be printed
in the Record
Mr.. James, of New York. objected, re-
marking soto roce to a gentleman who
asked him to withdraw his objection, that
it was made because the prayer was an in
cendiary speech.

A new stage line from Cheyenne TO

invested in a fine stage coach which is

The coach is costly one and is also very
very substantial. The new line will be
put on in the course of a few days and it
is expected that it will prove to be a pay.
ing enterprise from the start. Our citi-
1ens have long felt the need of a stage
line between this city and the new mining
camp, and now that one is to be estab-
lished it is quite certain that it will result
