Late EMPLOYEES.

ST. LOUIS, March 1G.-Vice- President
Hoxie received the following letter to-
day:
SEDALIA, March l5.-H, NJ. Hoxie,
First Vice-President.-Ith has been init
mated to me that committee Of knights
of Labor, composed Of railroad en-
plOyes, would be admitted to confer
enoe with you in regard to the difficult
ties now existing with said employees
and the railroad companies composing
the Gould Southw estern system. 1t is
your wish, the committee is ready for a
conference at such time and plnce as
you may determine.
signed. MARTIN IRONS,
Chairman Knights Of Labor Executive
Committee.
To this Mr.. Hoxie replied as follows
while L am always ready to confer
with and hear the complaints OF
any employees, the companies which
represent cannot see that meeting with
the committee, such as you propose,
would adjust the trouble, as | am in
formed that the reason for the existing
difficulties was the discharge Of one G.
A. Hall by the receivers OF the Texas
and Pacific Railway, q road not under
my coRtrol and with a management in
which 1 have no voice or authority. /
would further state that the action taken
by our late employees has so reduced
traffic that we shall not soon again re-
quire as many men in our departments
as heretofore, but all good men who de-
sire employment and are acceptable to
the superintendent, will hereafter, as
heretofore, be well and promptly paid
for services rendered, and II they have
any complaints, 1 will take pleasure in
meeting them for that purpose.
Signed Ii. NJ. HoXIE.

No Change.

ST. LOUIS, March 16.-There Is no
change in the situation this morning at
the Missouri Pacific wards. Numbers Of
strikers are congregated just outside of
the yards, but they maintain perfect
quiet. An attempt to send out the
Kirkwood accommodation train this
morning failed, the firemen deserving the
engine before ii was attached to the
train and the engineer returned to the
round-house. The situation in East st.
Louis is unchanged. No strike has yet
occurred among the dissatisfied mill
hands. Considerable anxiety is felt as 10
the outcome of this new complication,
but the Pacific Railroad officials gener-
ally express confidence in their ability to
adjust matters before their EN- ployes de-
termine to strike.

Indiana Vigilants.

CHICAGO, March l6.-A Vincennes,
Indiana, special says: Kidder Smith,
one Of the Archer gang of outlaws, who
has been holding forth in Orange county,
northwest township, was last night
waited on by the vigilance committee
who hanged the Archers, and taken to
the road, where the vigilantes placed a
rope around his neck and drew him up
three times. Then he was given 40
lashes and told to leave the State in "a
hours. He confessed that Sam Archer
had instructed a desperate named Jack
son and himself to intimidate the State
witnesses in the Archer case or kill
them. Smith made loud boasts but the
yigilantes shut him up. He is going
South. Thus another Of the gang is
gone.

Short Answer.

CHICAGO, March l6.-The Times prints
the following dispatch from Denver:
Yice-President Potter, of the Burling-
ton and Missouri railway, was tele-
grapheS by the striking Knights Of La
Dor, that the Knights on the Burlington

Nothing New.

KANSAS CITY, March lG.-Nothing of
interest in the Missouri Pacific strike
occurred here to-day. The Journals
specials contain the following informa-
ton: No effort was made at Sedalla TO
move trains and the situation remains
unchanged, as also at Atchison, Kansas.
Governor Narmaduke, in an interview
at Jefferson City, contradicts the report
that arms or ammunition had been sent
to st. Bouis. He did not consider such
recourse necessary. Adjutant General
Campbsll, of Kansas, passed through
Lawrence to-day, en- route from Par
sons, where be was sent by Governor
Martin. Mr.. Campbell reports matters
peaceful there, and anticipates no need
for the militia to be called out.

At Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb., March 16. The Mis-
souri, Pacific runs into Omaha over the
Union Pacific tracks for a distance of
Is miles. Yesterday an attempt was
made to start Missouri Pacific freight
train out OF this city, but five men cap
tured the engine and made the engineer
and fireman surrender. They then ran
the engine back to the roundhouse and
put out the fires. The men who cap
tured the engine were said to be EN-
ployss Of the Union Pacific and we're
Knights of Labor.

A New Strike.

CHICAGO, March 16. The Evening
Journals Clinton, Iowa, special says !:
Word has been received here from Sa-
vannah that about 500 track builders on
the Chicago, Burlington and Northern
Railway have struck. They compelled
the engineer and fireman Of the con-
structiOn trains to leave their cabs. The
company is paying off the strikers and
they are drinking heavily and are all
been received as to the cause OF the
strike.

road, at Gouldsboro, succeeded last
night in preventing the departure of q

undated the engineer. On application
Of Receiver Sheldon, Judge Billings, in
the United States Court, ordered Mar
Texas and Pacific property. The Depu-
ty Marshals were sent out at once for
GouldsbOro, and an effort will be made
to run q freight train under the protec-

No Trouble Anticipated.

OMAHA, Neb., March 16.-It is rumored
here that the Knights of Labor have or
dered all employees on the Missouri Pa
cifio In Omaha to refuse to handle freight
or perform other duties, and that the or
der will go into effect to-day. Credence
is lent to this rumored fact that ysster-
day an engine and several cars west
bound were stopped in the yards. As
the employees Of the Missouri Pacific at
this point are few In number, and as the
business done is comparatively light, no
serious trouble is expected.

COUNTY SUPERvIsoRs.-The Board of Su
pervisors of the county met in regular SEES
sion, at the county court house, on Monday
present, R. W. Johnston, chairman, Geo. w
Veiteh and ]. D. Payne. After issuing war
rants for the pay Of several county officers,
and for support and maintenance of several
paupers of the county, the board passed the
following resolutions:
Whereas the United States authorities have
held possession of large tract of land in Alexan.
dra county, Virginia, known as the Arlington
estate since the year 1854; and whereas the
United States became the absolute purchasers OF
said estate in the year 1888, and still holds pos
session of the same without ever having paid any
tax for county, school road purposes, or for
any other purpose, using about 2OO acres of said
land for military purposes and as national Gem
etery the balance, about 900 acres of said land
having established thereon, by authority of the
United States Government largo village, known
as "Freedmen's Village" whose inhabitants pay
but little tax, and who are great and increasing
burden Of taxation to the county; and whereas
for the last twenty two years only small portion
of taxes on the said land has ever been paid by
the former owners and mono ever paid by the
United States Government; and whereas, as we
desire to lift this great burden Of taxation which
we consider unjustly and illegally imposed
upon the tax payers of said county, who now bear
the largest rate of taxation of any people in the
State; therefore belt
Resolved That James E. Clements, Common
weath's Attorney of this county, and Major K. s..
Lacey DO, aud they are hereby, appoint.
ed, a committee to prepare brief and submit it
to this board for its approval after which to have
the power and authority to lay the whole matter
before the Congress of the United States and ask
such relief as may BIO just and right in the prem
ises.
And be it further resolved, That said committee
shall report to this board from time to time what
progress, if any, is made in this matter, and that
sum not to exceed s25 be allowed to do
necessary printing in this application, and that
no compensate on be allowed said committee un-
less thought advisable at some future time by
this board.
The prepa ration of the annual reports of
the receipts and expenditures of the county
for last fiscal year was then taken up, and
not being completed at o'clock, the board
adjourned to meet next Wednesday.

Special Dispatch to She Alexandra GAzkrTA.l
RICHMOND, Feb. lin the Senate this
afternoon, whom the local option bill was
being discussed, Senator Backston, of Ac-
comac, was pretty severe on the ministers of
the Gospel. He said they took peculiar
stand in the matter, and he offered to them
"log rolling" with the people who make
the whskey. Continuing, he said that their
position was very peculiar one, when they
say "you can drink in the cities as much as
you please but you cannot drink in the
counties" While he was speaking there
were in the Senate chamber at least half
dozen of the most prominent ministers in
Richmond. The bill was passed by until
tomorrow. B. P.O,

for party purposes, in disregard of their

being decent public servants, they have
proved themselves offensive partisans and
INSCRIPTIONS manipulators of local party
management" And yet, though the Gov
