Of James T. Holland, Of Texas, for the
murder Of Tom Davis, the sawdust
swindler, now in progress, the defend
ant took the stand. lie retold his
his former story Of how he became
acquainted with Davis that he was
on the lookout for an attempt on
Dayis's part TO rob him that he
suspected the game would be to shoE
him good money; that Davis actually
did count out to him ten thousand dol

drew his pistol and with the first shot
killed Davis, and fired the other shot

NEW YORK, March 3.-The strike Of
the employees Of the Dry-Dock Line
continues, and travellers by the Grand
Street ferries aSe put to much incOnye-
nience. The hearing before State.Rail-
oad.COmmissioner kearnan was con-
tinued to-day at the company's Office.
Vice President Richardson made re-
ply to the demands Of the men, taking
up each one separately. The companyis
willing to allow twelve hours to cOnsti-
tute a days work, including one hour
for meals. All employees who work
more than twelve hours are to receive
extra pay. Richardson denied that any
outside organization should have the
right to dictate to the company whom
it should or should not employ. If the
Knights of Labor were to have the au-
thority of deciding, then the directors
and president Of the road had better
resign. A special committee from the
Empire Protective Association was
in attendance at the conference be-
tween Commissioner kearnan and the
directors of the road. There was a
long debate in regard to the discharge
of certain men who had remained faith
full to the company during the present
difficulty. The superintendent replied
that the company would prefer to go to
pieces rather than discharge these men.
The conference ended without an agree
ment being reached. An attempt was
made to run cars during the afternoon,
but the strikers put such obstacles in
the wsy-throwing cars of the track
that the matter was abandoned.
During the attempted progress OF the
test car to-day a huge load Of barrels
crossed the track in front Of it. The
strikers cut the ropes that bound the
barrels on the truck, and they rolled to
the street and caused delay. A coal
wagon, containing two tons OF coal,
was dumped and its contents spread
before the car. At the corner Of
Grand, Houston, and Forty-second
streets the line was stopped by the
strikers, the harness was cut, and the
car derailed and placed square across
the track Of the trial car. Each car
that arrived was thus derailed, until sin
teen cars were standing across the tracks.
The passengers were turned out and
travel stopped. Fifty or sixty cars
finally were massed, and thousands oil
persons were on the scene. Finally
100 policemen arrived and sought to
protect the trial-trip car Of the striking
line. The driver held his reigns stead
lily and maintained his composure
amidst the jeers and attempted intimi-
dation Of the men. The conductor was
dragged off the car. lie disappeared
and there were wild rumors Of his
having been hurt and taken to hospi'

by ADgio-AmerIcaD cable to the Dlspatch'
LONDON, March 4.-Lord Randolph
Churchill spoke at Manchester to-day
He said that Mr.. Gladstone deluded the
country with false issues. There was
on imperative necessity for the estao-
lishment or a British Unionist party,
which would unite what was best in all
the parties and creeds.
The Marquis Of Salisbury, speaking
at the Conservative banquet at the
Crystal Palace tonight, denied the as
sertion of Sir Henry James that he had
ever encouraged " the hOme-rule delu-
sion" in the slightest manner. lie
warned the country that its hasty
adoption of the land-purchase measures
for Ireland would drive away the
wealthy and leave the ignorant under
the rule of not-over-wiSe hierarchy,
while all the money now invested
would virtually be lost. Lord Sails
bury bitterly condemned the Liberals
for defeating the Conservatives on a
side-issue, thus avoiding the necessity
to formulate an Irish policy.

SPRINGFIELD, ONO, March B.
There is great excitement here over the
dismissal Of the big force of knights OF
Labor from the East-Street Champion
Reaper-W Works. The workmen claim
that the number discharged will reach
coo or 700 Six assemblies of Knights
OF Labor held meetings to discuss the
situation last night, but took no def
mite action. The foremen in the works,
it is said, went through the shops yes
terday and asked every man if he was
aRDight ofLabor. His answer was re-
corded opposite his name. When time
came for quitting work those who had
admitted belonging to the Knights Of
Labor were either paid off at once or
told to call to-day and get their money.
The action came like a bombshell to the
men, and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed.

the affair develops into a general strike
