Irons. A. c. Coughlan and other mem
bers of the executive committee, when
asked for further Information regarding
the effect of tie appeal upon the situa-
ton, refused positively 70 discuss the
subject. One OF the COMMITTEES men
said: I'VE have a large army NJ our
command and n desperate fight ahead
Of us, therefore We do not propose TO
expose our plans until they have been
perfected.
IL now develops that under instruc-
tons from the executive board of Dis
tricts 101, SO ard l., a committee
from the local assembly of $50
awaited upon Master Mechanic Bartlett
last evening at the Missouri Pacific
shops, and rendered the services Of old
shop employees, men, as they said,
were ready TO go to work this morning,
and desired to find out if all would be
taken back, and list of ffty-two
names was handed Bartlett, who, after
scanning it, checked of seventeen of
them as names OF the men he would
employ; the others he would not take
back. Attempts of similar nature
were made by committees OF strikers at
prominent points al over the Gould
system. In every instance the execu-
tive board claim the committees re-
ceived the same reply. The ratio Of
men on the road whom they were
willing to take back 10 the
number who are on strike, was,
the Executive Board say, about the
same al over the system-seventeen
out Of fifty or whereabouts. The reports
OF these committees, received by tele-
graph. determined the Executive Board
to issue their address this afternoon
and to continue the strike until the
roads consent to take back all of the
strikers.

+. Francis. Mayor of the city, cailet
upon Governor 0glesby, OF Illinois, In
East ST. Louis. Speeches were made
setting forth the situation and urging
upon him the necessity of calling on
the militia at once to restore order and
effect a resumption of the freight
traffic. The Governor replied while he
knew the authorities Of East ST Louis
were unable to cope with the situation,
the County OF ST. Clair was large and
populous and the powers OF the sheriff p
very great. These had not been ex
hausted and until they were he could
not call on the militia for aid. Ii, how
ever, he should be actually obliged to
bring the soldiers here they would come
for active service and resolute work;
there would not be any nonsense or
child's play about it.

"ANNlE LAURIE"

Annie Laurie was not "A creature of inn

ancestry honorable mention is made in
Scottish history. stephen Laurie was a
flourishng Dumfries (Scotland) merch-
ant before James VI became king. Pri-
or to l9ll he married Marion. daughter
of Provost Coran, getting with her a
handsome marriage portion. His wealth
enabled him to purchase of Sir Robert
Gordon of Lochinvar, Bitebought, Shall
Castle and Maxwelton, whose "braes are
bonnie Stephen Laurie. then a man of
many acres, took the designation of Max
welton, leaving at his death his lands and
titles to his eldest son. John. The next
head of the house was Robert, a baronet.
f He was twice married, and had, by his
second wife, three sons and four daugh-
tiers. The birth of one of the latter is
thus entered in the family register by her
father:
At the pleasure of Almighty God, my daugh.
ter, Annie Laurie, was born upon the 18th day
of December 1852, about o'clock in the
morning, and was baptized by Mr.. George
Hunter, the minister at Glencairn.
This minute is worth quoting, as the
little stranger, whose entry into life it
announces, grew to be the most beauti-
full Dumfriesian lady of the day, and the
heroine of song which has rendered
her charms immortal:
"Her brow j. like the snoWdrift
Her throat j. like the swan,
Her face il is the taircst
That e'er the sun shone on
That e'er the sun shone N,
And dark blue is her eye,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie,
I'd lay me down and die"
The well-knOwn lyric, of which these
ines form part, was composed by Mr..
Douglas Finland. an ardent admirer of
bonnie Annie" who did not, however,
return his affections, but married his ri
val, Alexander Furgusson.

CORPORATIONS NOT IMMORTAL

From the Baltimore SUM-
The vote of 30 to 2, by which the New
York Senate decided to annul the charter
of Sharp's Broadway surface railway, on
account of the bribery through which the
New York aldermen were induced to
give the company the use of a street for
nothing instead of selling it at auction to
the highest bidder, marks Il long step
forward in the education of State legis-
lature toward IA correct appreciation of
the obligations of corporations to the
people. The idea has grown into favor
with a number of people who ought to
know better that corporations are to be
Judged only by the law of success; that
they cannot be held responsible for Grim
inal acts, and if found guilty of plumber
ing the public. be deprived of their cor
porate life. Having, as the saying goes,
'neither souls to save nor bodies to be
kicked" it has been held to be their priv
ilege to practice any meanness or COM
nit any enOrmity whatever with impun-
itv. With the individual highwayman
who endeavors to relieve you of your
purse the case is different. He may be
shot dead on the spot, or reduced to
condition of innocuous desuetude in a dun
geon cell. In his capacity as an unin-
corporated citizen he may not take anoth-
ers property. This odious distinction,
as respects responsibility as to public
opinion and officers of the law, between
the individual and the corporation. is
shown by the action of the New York
legislature on the Broadway surface
roads charter to be no longer safe one
4 charter which has been abused may be
withdrawn by the Legislature under the
pressure of intelligent and honest public
sentiment. \ SHINING corporation may
have its affairs wound up and cease to eX-
ist. The securities which it has based on
franchises stolen from the people may be
made worth less than the paper they are
written on. This is the telling moral of
the incident. that among the people there
is developing a feeling which Legislators
can no longer be biibed to oppose. This
feeling i one of determination that the
creatures of the State shall be held to "A
strict observance of the duties undertake
en- in their charters, and that fraud, cor
ruption and kindred crimes committed by
them to the hurt of the people shall be
cause for their extinction. There is no
longer in the public mind the apathy or
patience with which in past years the
perversion by corporations of Judges, leg
islatures. aldermen. executive officers was
dismissed from consideration as some
thing impossible to correct. There is IA
belief that lawbreakers of this character
can be effectively punished, and, what is
more to the purpose, there is DISPOSE
ton to administer punishment. OF this
the suit against the Bell telephone mo-
nopolv and the repeal of the Broadway
surface roads charter are impressive and
useful examples.

And all the day is long to me,

Things are not as they used to be.
It's lonesome living on this way
Since papa went to Canada.
Good sooth, he did not want to go,
He told me, when he said good by,
He had the Doodle with him, so
They could not find it, should they try.
Then in hurried sort of way
Poor papa went to Canada.
His place is empty on the board,
At home we see his vacant chair;
And we, alas, seem quite ignored
Because he's neither here nor there.
There is no place to go or stay,
Since papa went to Canada.

COULDN'T GET 1T TO GO.

An honest miner by the name of $.
out in Montana, finds great difficulty in
giving utterances to his thoughts, the
muscles of his face often twitching and
jerking, his eyes Swapping land his feat
ures becoming so distorted that one al
most despairs of his ever getting them
straight again. On one occasion he was
sent down into mining shaft which had
partly filled with water, at Diamond Ci-
ty, to look after some tools that had been
left in the bottom. The descent was
made by means of rope and windlass,
and he was to call out To his partners
above when he nearcd the surface of the
water. This was the signal for them TO
"hOld up" Down, down, down, he
went, and his feet struck in the water
sooner than he expected, which startled
him. He tried to cry out, but. alas his
nerves were too highly tensioned. The
''unruly member" would not obey the
will, and with all his persistent efforts,
he failed to emit the faintest whisper.
What was TO be done? His partners, in
ignorance of his strange predicament,
were unwinding the rope, and letting
him lower and lower into the liquid ele-
ment. which was cold and deep. There
was no time to lose. TO climb the rope
was the only alternative. Up the rope
he went with the agility of squirrel and
was at the top in few minutes.
"What is the matter with you, Jetf?''
shouted his comrades, as he popped out
at the top, trembling with excitement,
his clothes wet and dripping, his feat
ures twitching in an extraordinary man
ner, and they thinking that some awful
apparition was right behind him. "Why

The explanation was satisfactory.
But jeff could never be prevailed upon
to go down into another shaft when he
thought there was water in the bottom
of it,
