MRS. MOLLOY AND CORA LEE.
The Evidence Against Them Very Weak, and
Their Discharge Almost Certain.

Special to tho Indianapolis Journal.
SPRINGFIELD, No., March 13.-The second
day of the preliminary trial of Mrs Molloy and
Cora Lee, like the preceding day. brought forth
only evidence of weak and vague character
against the defendants, and unless stronger facts
are being held in reserve the discharge of the
women is expected. The morning was taken up
with the examination of witnesses from whom
little was learned that has not been before pub
lished. This afternoon, Peter Anderson, Of
Brookline, testified that he had been
acquainted with the defendants since
July On Jan. 2l Mrs. Molloy sent
for him for advice about Graham's forgeries.
when she referred to the myterious disappear
anco of Mrs. Sarah Graham, and said she be-
lieved she would be found in house of ill-fame
in few years. She said, further. that
she had known her number of years.
and George Graham was unfortunate in
marrying into such family. He was at their
house after Grahams arrest. and Cora Lee, after
seeing the officers pass by, was greatly agitated
and ran to the gate, with pistol concealed under
her apron. She said she thought the men were
drunk. An adjournment was had until Monday,
when it is expected Mrs. Breese's testimony will
be heard.

drawn up and signed by NJ d. Wells & Co.:
''The disagreement existing between the
Knights of Labor Of Illinois and the firm of NJ
ID. Wells & Co, concerning the employment OF
the manufacture of boots and shoes, Is by this
agreement, satisfactorily settled. Both parties
agree that convict labor should not come in con-
fct with free labor, and that the interest of the
public Is better served by its discontinuance.
Such being the sentiments of NJ D.
Wells e. Co., they voluntarily agree
that they will not, directly indirectly, re-
new the existing contracts for convict labor
with the State of Wisconsin as soon the State
OF Wisconsin will release them from said con-
tract or any liabilities by statute of said con-
tract. M. d. Wells IL CO. further agree that
they will not knowingly buy boots and shoes OF
any manufacturer using convict labor. M. ID.

away, it was boarded by almost a swarm of
strikers. who set the brakes uncoupled the cars
and brought the train to a halt. One of the
most active Of the men, named Fisher, who
boarded the engine and otherwise was one of the
most demonstrative Of the party, was arrested

ing that any further effort to run the train
would be likely to result in riot, it was con-

made to start out a freight train. The assistant

Mayor Hickman, the Board of Aldermen, the
city marshal and the sheriff and coroner of the
county, that he intended to start out a freight

requested the engineer and fireman not to take
out the train, which was complied
with by the engineer and fireman

A victory for the Strikers.

PARSONS, Kan, March 13-The first skirmish
of the strike was had to-day, when the officials
of the company tried to run out freight train,
and resulted in victory for the strikers The
train was run from Muskogee, through the Ter
ritory in charge of a United States marshal. and
when it reached the Kansas line was turned
over to Sheriff Woodford. The train was side
tracked at Oswego, a small station fourteen
miles south of here, but managed to get away,
and reached Parsons at 10 o'clock this morning.
The strikers had patrols out. and, when the
train came to halt for the railroad crossing,
the engine was uncoupled from the train. the
fire pulled and the engine scarcely had enough
steam to slowly pull into the roundhouse The
sheriff. sitting on the tender, was powerless.
Superintendent Golden had an engine ready
to take the train out, and the sheriff, Judge
kelso, and a few others were on the engine
ready to go with the train. AS the engine pulled
out of the round house, the pony switch engine
was run down on the main track in such way
as - impede its progress, and the freight-engine
was surrounded by so many men that 1t had to
stop. The switch engine was run up to the
freight-engine, and the freight engine was soon
being pushed with lightning speed back to the
round-house, where the fire was drawn. The
sheriff is still here, but new demonstrations
have been made, and it is claimed by some that
the marshals of the Territory have been sent for
to help the sheriff get the train out. 1t is now
apparent that the engineers, fremen and brake.
men are friendly to the strikers and it is doubt
full if they will work if the company gets other
men.

MAGNESIUM as an Illuminant.


..Do you know" said q chemist TO a

AS an illuminant AS "A substitute for all

any knowledge on the subject.

that before long it will be produced
even more cheaply."

piece of what looked like IA piece of
watch-spring, which he ignited. As it
