bers some time ago robbed stage coach in
the State of Zacatecas, Mex. There were
in the stage, besides the driver, three men
and one young lady, all belonging to the
best families of Chhushua. The outlaws
robbed them Of their valuables and
every particle Of clothing and in that condi-
ton allowed them to proceed in the stage.
Just before leaving their victims the rob-

which they used in common as lap robe,

Labor Excitement at Springfield, Ohio.


SPRINGFIELD, o., March 4.-Excitement
in the labor situation is still intense. The
proprietors Of the East street Reaper Works
claims that only 3sS men are out, but the
men themselves claim that 500 are out. 1t
is rumorcd that number of Knights of
Labor were discharged from the factory Of
the Champion Machine Co., in addition to
those discharged at the East street Reaper
Works, and that list Of all employees of
the Champion Bar and Knife Works who
are knights Of Labor, or who sympathze
with Them has been prepared with n view
to dismissal. Amos Whitley is president
of the latter two companies. The number
of men now out is alleged to be over 900.
There is no violence. The Knights of La
Dor held large meetings last night. If no
settlement can be reached. T. V. PoWderly,
Master Workman of the Knights of Labor,
will be appealed to to act as arbitrator. The
men are already talking of boycotting, and
are in state OF great excitement. Most of
the men discharged will be destitute in
short time

KREMELBERG CLAIMs-A bill has been
Il ed in tho Circuit Court of Baltimore, by
Joseph W. Jenkins, father Of Mrs. Gertrude
Kremelberg, who was divorced from her
husband, John ID. Kren elberg, several years
ago, to secure the payment Of a balance due
out of sum Of 900 year which the bill
claims Mrs. Kremelberg was entitled to
under the terms of deed made in 1874
Mr.. Kremelberg died in 1882, leaving Mr..
Samuel II. Tegart his executor. He dis.
tributed the estate in six equal shares to the
three children of Mr.. Kremelberg's first
marriage and the three children of the Sec
ond marriage, Mr.. kremelberg having been
twice married. The bill asks that the child
rem he ordered 10 pay the inslallments OF
the $1,000 year remaining unpaid from
1879 to 1882. An answer has been filed OF
John ID. krenlebeIg, one OF the sons, claim
ing that the divorce discharged his father
from the covenants Of the deed. a plea
Of limitations is also set up, and it is further
averred that MIR. Joseph w. jenkins is not
entitled TO recover the sum claimed without
showing that he undertook the maintenance
of his daughter, blIs Gertrude Kremelberg,

In the Senate yesterday the bill for the

therelrom was passed ; also the House bill to
give the consent Of this State to the purchase
by the Government Of the United States Of
land in Alexandra county for the necessary
abutments aud approaches to the bridge
proposed to be built across the Potomac
river.
The Fulkerson scrip bill was adversely
reported.
The bill to authorize the Governor to en-
ploy counsel to cooperate with the Attor-
ney. General in representing the State in the
many suits brought in the United States
courts was re ected-aye-, 6; noes, 16.
The bill to provide tat licenses may be
paid for in coupons, but that before any
officer shall issue a license the coupons shall
be received for verllication Us provided for
in Coupon. Killer No. l. was passed.
The general tax bill was finally passed.
The resolution rei!eratng and realrm
ing the joint resolution adopted by the Gen
eral Assembly, declaring the acceptance by
the people of Virginia OF the settlement of
the debt of the State provided for by an act
approved February II, 1852, was finally
passed.
IN the House OF Delegates the bill to reg
ulate the appointment of boards of direct
ors of the lunatic asylums and care of the
insane was passed.
Mr.. Buchanan's bill prohibiting judges of
courts and legislators accepting free passes
from any railroad in the State, was dismiss
cd by vote Of 4G 10 so.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE, ETC.
A conference Of the democratic members
Of the General Assembly was held last
night, aud after lengthy discussion a res
olution was adopted tliat the two houses ad
journ sine die at p. III. Saturday. 1t is IN
derstood that no business will be transacted
after o'clock to-day.
No nomination for railroad commissioner
was made. The term of Office Of the present
incumbent, Mr.. Molle!t, does not expire I'M
til March l5 1887, and it is considered quite
certain that an extra session OF the General
Assembly will have to he held this fall or
winter 10 receive lie report of the reVisers
Of the Code, and tho commissioner may
then be elected.
II seems certain that the General Assem-.
bly, will adjourn without taking any decis-
ivc action on the debt question.
Mr. Fuikerson's scrip bill, which passed
the House, was killed in the Senate by en-
adverse report Of the Finance Committee.
The convict labor bill passed by the
House has not yet been acted upon by the
Senate.
The school book bill from The House was
reached in the Senate yesterday but was
passed by. 1t is barely possible that it will

RICHMOND, Va, March ., 1856.
The discussion Of tho bill prohibiting
members Of the Legislature and other State
officers from recavin, free passes over rail
roads has been quite interesting. The
House was decidedly opposed to the bill,
but the friends of the measure made warm
fight for it, While Tue discussion was going
Oh several delegates had their passes in
their hands counting them. One member
had as many as fourteen and as no couAted
them there were fourteen pleasant grins on
his face-one for each deadhcad ticket.
The House refused To adjourn in honor Of
the birthday Of General Washington, but
to day if motion had been made to adj
journ in honor Of The birthday Of the elf
cient clerk OF the House, Mr.. John Bell
Bigger, there would have been delegates
ready TO vote for adjournment TO show their
appreciation of this courteous and obliging
Official. Mr.. Bigger, in bis humorous way,
declined to allow the resolution to be intro
duced, rs he did not wish to oushine the
lamented George lie is the best clerk Fir-
cinia has ever had, and The even and smooth
way in which he transacts business is SIM
ply marvellous, when the noise, confusion
and "botheration" thai is always about is
considered. The reporters cannot well get
along without him, aud the members Of the
Legislature appreciate his worth and USE
fulness.
There will he many bills Off local charac-
ter that will almost pass both branches of
the General Assembly. At least fifty bills
are now on their passage in the House and
Senate, but the calendar will not be cleared
before adjournment Probably many of
these bills will be passed at the fall session.
Mr.. A. Browne Evans, Of NIiddlesex, was
on the floor Of the House to day. He is in
the city to confer with Mr.. Pollard and
Judge B. r. Crump, the other counsel in

Mr.. WEDB, republican, whom President
Cleveland selected as one of the three Con-
missioners who govern the District Of Ct.
lumbia, has excited no little disgust in that
district by appointing notorious colored
partisan, who is always clamoring for mis-.
cegenation and creating trouble by attempts
to get his children into white schools, one
of the school trustees thereof The Presi-
dent has been particularly unfortunate in
many of his appointments, and such action
as that Of Mr.. Webb, in the case referred to,
is not surprising when great Difference is
paid at the White House receptions to the
white wives of negro men, though miscege-
nation is penitentiary offence in nearly
every State of the Union, and though Tie
general character Of the class of white VIC
men who marry negro men is as we'll know n
in Washington as any where else in the
country.
