TRAINS RUNNING ON TIME. The Strikers Held I'm Check By The M1IItary-A Fireman Shoots Into A Gang Who Attempted To Kill His Eng1ne-The Knights Threatening General Strike.
 FORT WORTH, Texas, April 5.-Armed
 men patrolled the city last night, but there was no attempt at violence on the part of the strikers. Upon Governor Ifeland,s ar rival this morning he ordered the Missouri Pacific to run regular trains out empty or loaded. Freight trains have therefore been
 moving all day. Captain Smith arrived this
 morning with a detachment of State rangers.
 Probably no more troops will be ordered
 here unless there is another outbreak. The
 house in which Sheriff Maddox found the
 box of dynamite is near the Union depot.
 As placards yesterday warned engineers and
 fremen to keep away from Gould's property,
 the inference was drawn by many that an
 explosion was planned by the strikers.
 The strikers do not display them selves much on the streets, but keep thoroughly acquainted with what goes on and the feeling is bitter between them and the workers or those opposing the strike. As nothing has been seen of the many strikers known to have left other towns for this place 1t is surmised that they are camping some where outside the city. Officers Fulford and Steed are improving. Mace, the wounded fireman, is also better. He is in jail and bail will not be accepted. Master Workman I a,t1i, nr 1iatriot 101 nf r h.a arrested on n charge of conspiracy in the murder of Townsend, one of those shot Saturday. Other arrests are rumored. District No. 78 today adopted resolutions condemning the shooting on both sides and asking the railroad company to appoint a committee to confer with strikers commit tee as to the causes of the strike and who is to blame for it. They blame the company for refusing to negotiate. A company of To- cal militia was formed here tonight
 NEW YORK, April 5.-At 12:30 o'clock the following dispatch was received by Mr Gould:
 Trains are moving satisfactorily at all points to- day. Sixty three hundred and seventy-sx loads moved since Saturday morning.
 Another telegram from MT. Hoxie said that the interview between himself and MT. Turner was incorrectly reported. At 3:30 MT. Gould received this dispatch:
 FoRT WORTH, 1 p. m.-Nothing true in the rumor that the strikers are tearing up the railroad tracks. Two trains have gone south this morning; no interference. Someone crippled engine No. 37 on train 154 last night t.Waco, while the trainmen were eat ing supper. About II 80 o'clock this morn ing box of dynamite was found in an out house near the Union depot, where it had been secreted. Gov. Ireland is now in the city. All saloons and drinking places have been closed by order of the mayor and large police force is patrolling the city. More freights will move to-day. Nothing authori- tative has been heard from the strikers re- ported shot on Saturday.
 ST. LOUIS, April 5.-A call at the rooms of the general executive board tonight found them in excellent humor. Dispatch after dispatch was received from various points on the system announcing that many men who had gone to work last week were again with the strikers. A courier also re- ported that all the switchmen of the Union depot company in this city had again struck. It seems plain that the strike is gathering new force and that it's further extension is but matter of time.
 ST. LOUIS, April 5.-About noon switch engine returning to the Missouri Pacific yards from Cheltenham, few miles out, with train of thirty-six cars was Jagged by party of fifteen men at the Grand avenue crossing, just within the city limits. The engine was stopped and the men immediately boarded the engine and seeing Burt Culver, the fire man, who had come in from Springfield, Mo, since the strike and taken job, began to haul him about. Engineer O'Neill drew revolver, when the men jumped from the engine. Culver was partially pulled off by someone, but clung to the steps and whilst in this position drew revolver and fired three shots at the man who still hung to the other !. .i.s lo1I T foII By this time Engineer O'Neill got the engine going and succeeded in escaping. The man shot fell and was hurriedly carried away by his companions. Whether or not he is bad ly hurt cannot be told No arrests have yet been made and no names of the attacking party are known.
 The engineers of the Missouri Pacific have lodged protest against the decidedly bad condition of the road bed between this city and Chamois. They will not take over four passenger coaches each, nor run over twelve miles an hour and will refuse to run after nightfall.
 Secretary Turner of the general executive board, when asked this evening what further action the board intended to take, said: '"We have turned this matter over to the district assemblies and they can take what action they see fit. MT. Hoxie has broken the agreement made at the conference held in New York, and not only has he refused to r6-6mplOY the SGTlk6TS, put Q0 uaS ulS- charged all the men whom we had not asked to come out-yardmas ters, their assistants and others whom we thought best should stay in their positions simply because they were Knights. It is now probable that the strike among the south western Knights will become general" "Yes," said MT. Hayes, another member of the board, Eve have done all we could and the district assemblies may call out all the men in their various districts and do all they can to gain their ends and we will counte- nance and endorse anything they do, so long as no violence is used toward persons or property"
 KANSAS C1rY, April 5.-The Missouri Pa cifc pay car came in this afternoon, but it was reported that the men for some reason would refuse their pay. The men changed their minds, however, and called for their checks. Any number of garnishments for board and other bills were served. All en- gineers and fremen have been warned that any failure to comply with the company's order to take out train will result in in stant dismissal if they are influenced by re- quests from strikers. There is some appre- hension that this may precipitate conflict between the brotherhood of engineers and frernen and trouble is feared.
 DENNIsoN, Texas, April 5.-Quiet pre- vails here. The shops ran full hours to- day for the first time in a month. All the Knights lodges are holding fred lett er" meetings tonight. This means important business
 SHERMAN, Texas, April 5.-The interest in the strike is unabated here. The arrest at Fort Worth of District Master Lovlin causes great excitement among the Knights. The feeling is strong. "Are you Knight?" is question heard on every side with growing significance.
 A Strike of Carpenters.
 ALBANY, April 5.-The carpenters union of this city embracing over nine hundred jou1neymen, struck this morning. It is thought that unless the boss builders comply with the demands of the Knights that all the workingmen of the union will be ordered out, in the event of which business here abouts will be demoralized.
