Charles Francis Allan, u:"@i1ent of
the Union Pacific railway company,
in which We're seated half dozen
eastern capitalists, Mr.. Adams being
among the number.
Il 90 to Kansas CITY and thence to
Omaha, said President Adams to the
BAZoO hustler, land may 90 on a
tour of inspection over the road"
You are not having any trouble
with your employees, are YOU"
None whatever"
DO you anticipate any ,"
mo, sir
Then YOU dO not take much stock
in the threat of Martin Irons, that
every Knight OF Labor west of the
Mississ ppi river may be called out in
order to force Jay Gould to terms ,"
Talk is cheap, young man. The
employees of the Union Pacific have
no grievances and realizing the poor
success that is attending the Knights
fight against the Missouri Pacific, it is
not at all likely they will enter upon a
strike at the command of Martin
Irons
How long will YOU remain in the
west?"
That is question am not pre-
pared to answer. shall return to
Boston rs soon as my business in the
west Is concluded"
Mr.. Adams asked numerous ques-
tons in regard to the situation of the
strike in Sedalia, and expressed the
opinion that the trouble was about
over.

EMMETT'S ERROR.
Robert Emmett King Will Go to
the Peniteutiary for
Six Years.

Much Ia the surprise of the public,
Robert Emmett King, the embezzling
clerk of the Sedalia Savings bank,
yesterday entered a plea of guilty to
three of the twenty-five indictments
pending against him for grand lar
beny and forgery in the third degree.
The remaining twenty-five indict-
ments were then nolle prosecuted by
Prosecuting Attorney Lamm. Judge
Ryland has not vet passed sentence,
but it is understood that the punish
ment will be the minimum provided
by law, which is two years OH each in-
dictment. Under the three-fourths
rule eighteen months will be deduct
ed, leaving the total time to be served
four and one-half years. Immediate
ly after his arraignment in court and
entry of his plea, King was given in
to the custody of the sheriff and was
taken to the county Jail to await his
sentence, when he will be taken to
Jefferson City with other prisoners.
The youthful embezzler was visited
at the Jail yesterday afternoon by a
BAzoo reporter. He was found in
the possession Of excellent health and
hopeful spirits, and expressed his in
tention of bearing his punishment
with fortitude. He said that he would
much prefer serving out his sentence
like man than TO live in luxury in
Canada or any other foreign country
a fugitive from justice. Yes" he
this is no new thing for
me; | have for some time contem-
plated the action i have taken to-day
| am young, only twenty-five, and
four years and half will soon roll by.
This thing might have. been STAYED
off for some time by taking change
of venue, but this is the way it must
have eventually ended. / am well
satisfied with the elimination.
The unfortunate young man ex-
pressed his sincere gratitude to the
friends who have stood by him so
faithfully in his trouble and bade the
reporter an unfaltering farewell.

4 very significant step was taken yester-
day by certain OF the old employees OF the
Missouri Pacific shops who went ont on the
strike. Between fifteen and twenty of
them, including about ten who have since
returned TO work, held meeting a, )
o'clock in the afternoon to discuss ways
and means of inducing Others to come
back The meeting was held secretly and
at the house of one OF those interested. Ii
was entirely spontaneous action on the
part of the men, and the outgrowth OF 4
feeling that has been swelling TO consider
able proportions of late. Several OF those
who projected the meeting said they did not
feel that they could remain out any longer
I'm Justice TO their families that looked to
them for support There is no question
about the meeting being held. Another
has been privately called for this afternoon.

His Wife Surprised Him.

There was one individual in Sedalia who
experienced an unpleasant surprise yeSter-
day, but d. the affair was temporarily
smoothed over the BAZOo does not deem it
advisable to more than refer to il at pres
ent. The party referred to Is a railroad
man and has been holding forth in Sedalia
for two or three years past, living with a
woman supposed to be his wife Yesterday
a lady with one child arrived from Ohio
and informed the officers that she was the
legal wife of the railroader, while the
woman he has been living with since his
sojourn here was merely his mistress. She
then went before Justice r. X. Marvin and
swOre out an information charging her
husband with having committed adultery
with Miss --- ON the I'd day of April,
1856. The warrant was placed In the
hands OF an officer and the railroader was
brought up town, when he retained " ID.
Steele to defend him. Later in the day
husband and wife had an interview in Mr..
Steele's Office, and il is understood an ami
cable understanding was reached, hence
there will be no prosecution.

HANGED.
An Indiana Wife Murderer PAYS
the Penalty-HiStOry OF
the Crime.

Indianapolis, Ind, April S.-Robert G.
Phillips went onto the scafold at LIS.
Twenty-One minutes later the. drop fell,
and al the end OF the next twenty minutes
life was extinct.
On the morning OF June "A, 1885, the
body of Louisa Phillips, brite of three
months, was found dead In an alleyway In
the northern part OF indianapolis, and
yi ing by her side was her husband, Robert
q. Phillips, with his throat cut bur still
alive. The spot showed evidence OF
violent struggle, and the only conclusion
possible pointed TO murder and attempted
suicide. Phillips was very Jealous of his
wife, and on the night before they had to-
gether attended an entertainment where
something had occurred To arouse his
anger Next morning he followed his
wife 10 her work. three blocks from
her home, where their bodies were
found. The wOman'> head was nearly sew
cred from her body, and fearful cash in
his throat gave evidence vi his effort at
suicide. Phillips was taken to the hospital
and given surgical attention. The wound
in his throat never completely healed and
the windpipe being severed a tube was in
serted to enable him To breathe. He was
tried IN December and found guilty and
sentenced 10 death. As he was very
small man il was thought by many persons
that his neck would not be broken BY the
fall and that he would strangle. Four sep
arate delegations OF people were sent 10
Governor Grey at different times, urging
him TO commute the sentence, but he
strongly refused tn interfere

A Farmers View.
SOUTH SIDE or PRAIRIE TOWNSHIP,
APRIL 3. 1856.

EDITOR BAZOO: AS this is quite stormy
day, and stormy days are farmers resting
days, II affords me an opportunity 10
pencil YOU few lines.
We are sitting around our stoves reading
the latest news from the strike, and wonder
ing when and how il will end-it being
almost the only thing thought of or talked
about. We are all opposed Ia the strike
except few adopted sons" and are in
favor of upholding, protecting and defend
ing the laws OF our country. From the be-
ginning We have cOntended that the poor
man AID the labOring man tot whom am
Onel would be the sufferer
They have sown the wind and will reap
the whirlwind. I've had better bear
the Ills We have, than to fly
To- those We know no. OF"
Can We gain anything or better the eondi-
ton by tearing down and defying the laws
We have made? | say 10. Let me say %
those engaged in beating their fellOwmen,
stoning houses, wrecking trains, etc, that
the people will nerer uphold any such
dOings in our free America, and if they
wish To gain anything it must be accom-
plished by other means.
! hope all the Knights have read Mr.
Powderly's 'secret circular" and will fol-
low his advice, a. it is good, and If they do
not the organization will surely prove
failure. 1T is not wise to injure all for the
sake OF one" For the good OF all this
should be soon settled. FARMER.

MIR. SHELLEY RETIRES
From the Superintendency of
the Missouri Pacific
Railroad.

No doubt considerable surprise will
be occasioned this morning by the an
nouncement that Mr.. +. h. Sibley Is
soon to retire from the superintendency
of the Missouri Pacific road. He ten
dered his resignation several days ago,
but owing to the strike, action there
on WAS delayed and rot until Tuesday
was it accepted, and then with regret.
Mr.. Sibley was absent from the city
yesterday, hence cOnld not be seen,
and those about the general office who
are supposed to be posted in the prem
Uses declined to be interviewed.
During his short residence
in SedaIia Mr.. SibIev has
made many warm personal
friends, and the news that he is soon
TO take his departure will be received
with universal regret. The exact date
of his retirement is not known TO the
BAZoo, nor is it known who will be
named rs his successor
1t is stated that Mr.. Sibley has re-
ceived a most tempting offer to engage
in the banking and brokerage bust
ness in New York city, and having
decided TO accept, he rendered his
resignation as superintendent of the
Missouri Pacific. The best wishes of
the BAzoo will accompany him to his
new field of labor.

HUNTING AHUSBAND.
A Woman With Four Small Chill
dren Arrives in Sedalia
Destitute

\ woman with four small children.
the eldest a boy of ten and the young
est babe of nine months, applied at
the police headquarters Yesterday for
aid. Sire was ut erly destitute and
related Il very sad story. She gave
her name as Harriet ID. Wiley. nee
Crawford, and stated that her hus-
band left their home in the Hooking
Valley, Ohio, about four months ago,
for the purpose of securing work, be-
ing thrown out of employment by a
strike. Despairing of hearing from
him, she started about four weeks ago
in search of him, and supposed that it
WAS probable that he might be in this
county, Is he formerly worked here.
She had about 800 when she left
home, hut her goods being tied up in
the freight blockade at St. Louis, she
was compelled to rrmain on expense
at that city until her resources were
almost exhausted. She had bit
fifteen cents remaining when she
arrived in this city, and has been un-
able to obtain any information relative
to her husband. Mr.. Bob Morrow,
who was touched with pity at the
forlorn condition Of the distressed
woman and her poor little children,
took up collection for their benefit
and soon raised s. or ST. to relieve
immediate necessities.

Wants Work.

\ woman of very respectable and lady
like appearance called at the h. & L.
shops yesterday and requested Special Off
Ger Charlie Holland who WIS on duty there,
to show her to Master Car Builder Twins
office. She told the officer that her huS-
band was out of employment and in con-
sequence his family was ont of bread and
butter. Her mission was to procure work
for him and If IL was given him, she would
see that he worked ii she had to guard
him to and from the shops herself. 1t is to
be hoped that the effort OF the plucky lady
to secure employment for her husband, and
To- thus obtain the necessaries Of life, was
successful

Socialists Ducked I'm England.

Pail Mall Gazette.
The socialists of Manchester and
the north of England arranged to
hold a demonstration in that city
Saturday. In the morning the police
were out In large force. A few hun
dreds of people assembled and speech
es were made, most of the speakers
requesting the crowd TO abstain from
violence. A resolution was passed
condemning the government for not
starting relief-wOrks. In the after
noon a great demonstration took place,
at which there were 10000 persons
present. There was great amount
of jostling and horse-play. The men
attempted to deliver sOcialistic har-
argues but their remarks were, for
the most part, greeted with ironical
cheers. They spoke from the steps
of large public drinking fountain,
and the remarks of one of the speak
ers were brought to a speedy termina-
ton by a band of roughs seizing the
speaker and laying him in the water
trough. Another man attempted to
speak, and he shared the same fate.
When he got out he attempted to re-
mOnstrate, but he was instantly
seized and laid second time in the
water-trough. The crowd destroyed
a portion of the drinking-fountain,
which was the gift of the Baroness
Burdett-C Outts.
