to resume freight traffic despite the hitch in the
Yaqntia Eions for satflarnant of the strilxa


negotiations for settlement of the strike.
Three freight trains were started out this
morning from the Missouri Pacific yards, guard
ed by strong force of police. There were no
crowds of any size congregated in the yards at
th6 time, and none were assembled at any point
along the route leading out of the city. 1t is
stated that the company could now run out their
regular number OF trains could the necessary
number of men be procured TO man them
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of
William Mcconnell and William Conroy strik
ing Missouri Pacific employees, charged with OBJ
structng the passage OF Missouri Paclhc pas
senger train on March %. Judge advocate Nc
Garry, of the Knights of Labor, who was ar
rested yesterday on the charge of trespasslng on
the company's property, was brought before the
court this morning and was allowed to give bail,
pendlng preliminary examination OF the
charge.
A cipher message of considerable length was
sent by Chairman Irons to Mr.. Powderly to day,
but its contents could not be learned. Mr. Irons
said nothing would be done here until the result
of the conference IN New York was known. He
gaveNit as his opinion that an amicable adjust
ment of the existing troubles would be effected
within two or three days.
The officials Of the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain railroads to-day made the formal an
nouncement that its agents would receive
freight for shipment to all points on their
respective roads as before the strike. General
Superintendent Kerrigan, of the Missouri Pa
cifc railroad, said this evening that business
was progressing favorably on tho whole system.
Full traffic was not resumed, of course, but
every day showed an improvement Fully one
hundred and fifty trains had been moved to-day
on all the lines, and there was less interference
than on any previous cay. Men are applying for
work at many points on the roads and are being
engaged as fast as their services are required.
Four freight trains were this morning made
up in the Iron Mountain yards, and, under the
protection of small guard of police, succeeded
in passing through the city without any inter
ference from the strikers. No crowds had con-
gregated at any point along the track and no
excitement attended the trains passage through

St. Louis Special.
This is the twenty-third day Of the strike in
st. Louis and vicinity, and the following esti-
mates of the losses have been obtained from rail
way officials and shippers The estimates only
include the blockade on the Gould lines. The
records of the freight departments show that
had there been no disturbance or strikes, there
would have been moved between initial and des-
tination points 2s0 o000 900 pounds of freight pos
sessing value of $50 900. This vast amount
of freight has not moved at all, but is under
blockade in warehouses, depots cars, and manu-
featuring establishments. The damage done to
railway property during the same period is put
at $500. 600. The cost of attempting to operate
lines which have not been operated expense for
police and protection, is 100000. The loss of
revenue to the system is s. 200 000 The
disbursements that would have been made
during this time for wages, material,
ETC.. would be $1,000 O0O The bank
clearings of the city of ST. Louis for the first
ten days of the strike showed a loss of half o
million a day, then they increased to within q
quarter of million of the old figure, aud have
fiuctuated between quarter and half during
the last ten days. Seven Touring mills, with a
total capacity of 5000 barrels day, have been
forced to shut down. The Cheltenham smelter
works, which employ COO men. shut down week
ago for lack of transportation. Ten other man
ufacturing establishments shut down previously
for want of raw material. Five thousand seven
hundred and seventy men voluntarily quit work
on the Gould lines and forced 6,000 men, includ-
ing conductors, clerks. fremen and telegraph
operators. to quit work involuntarily. The mer
chants of St Louis estimate that the spring
trade of the city has been injured to the extent
of several million dollars, and that Chicago and
Cincinnati reaped the benefit. The blockade in
East St Louis involves all railroads. and the
loss on delayed freight has already reached
gigantic figures. Ths roads average Eve freight
trains day. or a total of sixty trains on all
roads. Since the strike was begun the total
number of trains leaving East St Louis in a
day has never exceeded three.

the rails could not possibly get to their places,
thereby making wreck inevitable. Great in

perpetrators of the crime, and it is likely the
guilty ones will be arrested and punished, as the
detectives have obtained some clews as to who
the guilty parties are.

Cannot Stand ON Technica,ities.

New YORK, March 30.-The members of the
Knights of Labor in this city are reticent about
talking of the trouble upon the Gould Southwest
system of railroads until some definite conclusion
is arrived at. VIM. Brown, one of the oldest and
most esteemed men ia the order in this vicinity
expressed himself as follows however: 1T is an
absolute necessity that this strike should end
If is is not settled quickly there is
no telling what the result will be-
The laboring people ara excited all over the
country, and uneasiness and the high feeling
which has existed in ST. Louis and all along the
striking roads must sooner or later result in a
collision between the strikers and the authori-
ties. II the train is once fired, there is no tell
ing where the trouble will end. and the riots of
1877 would be but play to the riots Of 1886
Consequently, say that neither we nor the
the railroad people can afford to stand on tech
nical points, but must come together, and, by
wise counses and mutual concessions, bring this
thing to an end"
"Do You think that there is any danger of Mr..
Irons refusing to obey the orders of the general
master workman and executive boardP
'Not the least in the world. He would not
dare to do it. even If he had the desire. He
would be deposed ia a moment, and If the dis

in a matter like this, which affects not only the
welfare Of the entire order, but the whole coun-

a war has begun in Atlanta against
the parlor beauS-young men who like
to spend an agreeable evening with
young ladies at their homes, but who
never ask the young ladies to go to the
theatre or any place where money is
necessary. One young woman says
with disgust that young men spend
evenings in her parlor and tell her all
about the performances they have at
tended alone. The Milwaukee Sentinel
says this is a timely and wholesome
warfare. Any evening numbers of
young men may be seen ut the Milwau-
kee theatres alone. although they are
known to be society youngme and in
defatlgable parlOr beals. They go to
the theatre whenever there is anything
worth seeing alone, although they are
able to take young ladies. There never
was a time when young men were so
Indifferent to the just claims OF young
ladies. There is an understood rule
that the young men shall make some
recognition of courtesy at the hands
OF a young lady, but if he does this he
certainly does no more. There is no
escaping the conviction that the eyoung
man who is constantly enjoying the
society of young ladies is very mean
spirited and selfish person if he attends
a theatre alone. There are any num-
Der of charming young women who do
not require that young man shall go
to the expense of q carriage. They are
willing to 60 by street car, or better
yet, to walk to the theatre. Any young
man, with the right sort OF feelings, is
willing to &C only half as often and to
take Il young lady with him. The At
lanta girls resent their treatment, not
because Of the loss of the theatre, but
because Of the lack of decent conSidcra-
tion the young men show. 1t is the
indifference to one Of the plaincst rights
OF young woman. They propose to use
the cold shoulder hereafter. They do
not intend that young men shall play
the role Of grand mogul, and think it is
enough if they smile on the young
ladies of az evening in the parlor. The
girls are right about this, and we hope
they will keep up the agitation until
the evil is rcmeQicl.

The State Fair.

The State Fair OF 1886 has been held
and it is within the bounds of modera-
ton to say that it was most gratify
ing success in every respect. The ex-
hibits were numerous and varied, and
of high order of merit as to quality.
The attendance was large, and the re-
ceipts of the Society satisfactory. Taken
all in all, it may justly be said to have
been equal to the Fair of 1885. The
total receipts were not quite so large
this year as in 1855, but this is without
doubt attributable to the determination
of the Society not to permit games of
chance on the grounds, they having last
wear paid the Society a larger sum than
the falling off in the receipts this year
amounted to. The Columbia Record
saws: After witnessing this. magnifi-
cent exhibit of the natural and indus
trial products of the State, and this i'm
mense reunion of her people, it is i'm
possible to coincide with the hopeless
views of some individuals whose utter
ances have of late been prominent
ly before the public. The majority of
the visitors to this city during the past
week were from among the agricultur-
lists of the State, and while there was
no great oStentation and show of wealth
there was no want of cheerfullness in
their bearing and conversation, nor any
thing to indicate lack of confidence
in the future. Indeed the Fair of 1886
is sufficient to convince any one that
the resources of the State are far from
exhausted, both us to materials and as
to the spirit of her people, and that the
great mass of the farmers are by no
means so unfortunate and hopeless as
some persons would have US believe.
The State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society is to be congratulated on the
splendid and successful work it is doing
and the reelection of Col. Duncan and
Col. Holloway to the offices of Presi-
dent and Secretary promises an equally
brilliant career during another term.
Upon the incumbents of these two
offices the bulk of the work of the
Society falls, and to the two gentlemen
named is due much Of the success SO far
attained.
