lists i'm Sedalia and
Elsewhere.

Yesterday was another day OF In
tense excitement and suspense, and
filled with thousand rumors of every
conceivable shape, only to be cont a.
dicted By others Of even more alb
surd nature.
tsDo you know that Tom Furlong
and pose of frty detectives came
In on the Missouri Pacific this morn
ing from St. Louis?"
The above iDterrogatory was hurled
at q representative of the BAzoo as
soon as he made his appearance on
the street yesterday, and in the course
Of halt an hour it was repeated prob
ably a dozen times, the gentlemen
volunteering the information being
apparently satisfied in their own minds
that such was the case.
Investigation. however, disclosed
that the report was whclly without
foundation, it being only one of the
many untruths set afoat since the in
auguration OF the strike.
SEEKING A SETTLEMENT.
The day opened up quietly, and
not until about 10 o'clock a. M. did
anything unusual occur. At that
hour committee of bust
ness men, numbering twenty-five or
thirty, with ID. III. Smith as chairman,
paid visit to the executive commit
tee, Knights of Labor. at cir hall
In East Sedalia. The mission was
con erence with the Knights to ascer-
tain whether or not the strikers would
permit a resumption of freight traffic
over the Missouri P cific road and its
branches. A delegation from the
citizens committee had previously
called upon Superintendent Sibley.
and he had informed them that the
company was compelled to suspend
freight traffic, as tn strikers had
taken forcible possession of the yards,
round house, engines, etc.
MADE TO FEEL AT HOME.
Mr.. Smith and his associates were
welcomed to the Knights hall by Mr.
Hagh Fitzgerald. editor of the Labor
Union, who had been called to act in
tie capacity of chairman,
owing 10 the absence of Mr..
Fred. Page, occasioned by illness.
In addition to the members of the
committee who reside in Sedalia,
there we're several from other p ints,
and each and every one greeted the
visitors cordially.
The conference was ofan hours dura-
ton, both sides expressing themselves
freely, and very little ill-feeling being
manifested. No satisfactory under
standing was arrived at, though, the
knights bringing about an adjourn
meut when q member of the mmit-
tee remarked:
sThere is your track (pointing to
the rilroad), there are your cars and
there ar your engines. We are here
Why don't you go ahead and run
your trains
This was enough to satisfy the visi-

THE MAYOR INVESTIGATING.

On perusal of Me-. Sibley's missive,

his wi lingness to do all within hi
power to assist the company, and for
the purpose of ascertaining whether
or not the city has an ordinance gov.
erning the case in question, he ad.

THOSE GRIEVANCES.

The list of grievances promulgated
by the Knights Wednesday night,
and fors arded to Mr.. Hoxie, W..
discussed no. little yesterday. Those
referring to the wages paid unskilled
laborers the adjustment of convict
labor and the apprenticeship system
were pretty generally endorsed, but
some of the others were looked upon
as ridiculous. For instance,
the clause requiring the appointment
of an arbitra ion committee before an
employe can be discharged. This was
looked upon as the heighth of folly,
and no one could be found who be.

said prominent conductor, sit will
be many months before they resume
work."
HOW BE WOULD SETTLE 1T.
An ex-city official has hit upon a
method of settling the trouble. 1t is
this:
Receiver Brown" said the gentle
man, els a creation of the United
States court. Master Mechanic Crosby,
of the Texas d Pacific, is a creation
of Recei er Brown. Foreman Hall,
rec nty discharged, was u crea ion of
Crosby. Now, to settle this
let Gould, Hoxie and
others high in authority secure the
If Brown by the U tied
States court. Then let Crosby be dis
charged and Hall sent IL Jericho or
some other place. This will squelch
the whole business, and peace, happi-
ness and prosperity will once more
reign along the Southwestern system I"
The gentleman did not so state,
but it is presumed there is no charge
f r the advice.

NO CHANGE ANYWHERE.
There wa. no change regarding the
movement of trains dur ne the day.
Both east and west-bOund mail trains
were late, owing to their crowded
condition and the number of stops
they were compelled to make.
At the freight house a death-like
stiffness prevailed. Agent Prall has
several cars of perishable freight in
his charge, all of which is consigned
to points in Texas. Fearing that
freight traffic will not be resumed a,
an early day, he has telegraphed the
parties to whom the freight is con-
signed, asking permission to dispose
of it here, and expects to receive

THE MARSHAL INSTRUCTED.
After concluding his communica.
ton to Mr.. Sibley, his honor addressed
the following missive to Marshal Bar
nett:
MAYORS OFFICE,
CRY OF SEDALIA, March IL, 1886.
X. W. Barnet, City Marshal.
SIR-You are hereby instructed TO detail
portion of the police force of the city

arrest all persons guilty of any violation
of the city ordinances, and you vi keep

SELECTING THE MEN.
When it was known that his honor
had decided TO appoint ten extra
policemen, he was besieged with APP.
pl cations for appointments, but three
out of four of those who applied Were
refused, because of their being Knights
of Labor.
81 have no objections to you," said
Mr.. Hickman to one applicant, "and
/ feel satisfied you would do your
duty, but the fact of your being a
Knight precludes the possibility of my
appointing YOU"
1t was 5 o'clock p. m. when the list
was completed, as follows: Matthew
Myers, w. 7. Gorrell, Mike Dolan,
w. L. Benson, j. Dunkerly, j. Welch,
j. G. Bell and B. F. Thornton. At
q few minutes after 5 o'clock the new
appointees were sworn In, and shortly
after "ard they were assigned to their
respective beats by Marshal Barnett.
AN EXPLANATION WANTED.
"What does it MANI" "Do the
railway people anticipate trouble"
"Isn't this the initiatory step
toward resuming freight traffic."
These were a few of the questions
propounded on every hand when
Mayor Rickman's action became pub
lie. The railway officials were 10th to
discuss the subject. and as no one else
could furnish the desired information,
the questions remained unanswered
definitely.

though We would see lively time to-
morrow" remarked an Ohio street
attorney late in the evening. SIN

neers, conductors, firemen and brake

their respective duties provided they

nicipal authorities. My prediction is

An ATToREEY's OPINION
THE MARSHAL INSTRUCTED.

''The company will also have a
number Of extra policemen on hand
in the morning-men who are I'M
known here-and an attempt will
be made To send out several freight
trains. A number of freight crews
ON the middle division aud west end
reported for duty at S o'clock this
morning, but for some unexplained
cause no attempt was made t. move
trains. The men were sent home, but
instructed to be ready to 60 out on
short notice. Ny belief is that they
W II be summoned tomorrow FRI
day. to 90 out on their respective
runs. Should the strikers interfere,
he attempt will most likely be aban-
doned, but you can depend upon it

the yards inside of twenty-four hours.
If Gov. Marmaduke has been quoted
correctly, and / believe he has, he
will u t permit a further suspension
of freight traffic when appealed to by
the company's officials"
The gentleman quoted above is
shrewd observer, but the BAzoo does
not vouch for the correctness of his
views.
A CONFERENCE ASKED FOR.
"What's new ?" asked the BAZoo
last night of a m NIB of the
h. of L. executive committee.
"Not a great deal; but L would
not be surprised if this entire trouble
was settled inside of twenty-four
hours"
"What do you mean by that ?"
Simply this: If Mr.. Hoxie &C
cepts the proposition mailed to him
last night, and which he undoubtedly
received this Thursday morning, he
will tie met by committee of knights
and a satisfactory understanding
reached"
This proposition provides as fol-
lows: That unski led laborers be
paid not less than $3.50 per day; tn st
convict labor be abolished on the
Gould sys EN- T; that the wages of
bridge men be restored to the rates
paid in September, 1884; that a sys-
tenn be es ablished for the government
of ala appren ices; that al arb tration
committee investigate all cases before
discharging employees; that each man
be paid the same wages for the same
work; that all men who have been
unjustly discharged be reinstated.-l
