Statements of the Knights of Labor
and jaw GOuId

There was resumption of the railroad
strike in the Southwest on the 5th the fol
lowing being the text of statement issued
KNIGHTS of Labor
Eat the conference held in New York be.
tween Goald and assoc ates nad the general
executive board the following was mutually
agreed upon:
THAT the officials were willing to meet a
committee of employees without discrimna-
tion, who are actually in the employ of the
ROAD At the time such committee is appointed,
10 ADJUST with them any grievance they may
baye.
Tho executive board. upon arriving in
ST. Louis, having been inforEel that Mr..
HoMe had refused to comply with the agree
ment as all PARTIES to the conference under
stood it, waited upon him to ascertain his in
1entionS OF carrying out tho same, and
re eiVet ohe following reply. TT at only fifty
Per cent or tic former force would be en-
ployed; that he would consider rers ,nal ap-
pl cations only and use his own pleasure in
act no on them, without the iictation of any
soc.oiy.
This being in direct violation of the agree
mont the general board believes that the re-
fusal was for the purpose of stock j, bling,
uSlng the organization n veil to further
'hor ends. We, therefore, recall the order
given to the mon to return to work, the road
having made it impo sble to fulfil III, same.
IRE matter now stands as it did e.ole the
order to resume work was sued-n the
hands of th7se interested. and the general
board will render all assista' C to carry out
the demand Of the men for justce.n
Mr. Jay Gould was interviewed in New
York regarding the charge made by Secre-
tary Turner, of the Knights of Labor, that
Mr.. Hoxie was not acting in conformity with
the terms of the agreement entered into at
the New York conference. Mr.. Gould said :
THE stenographer's notes of the New
York conference show that there was no
agreement, direct or implei that the COM
pany would take all men back, with some
comparatively few exceptions On the con-
trary, they show that not one of the commit
tee expected the company to take back
any men not needed or any who had
had anything to do with dam
age to the property of the company or OBJ
struction to the running Of its trains. Pow
derby said if the company would supply him
with the names of the law breakers they
would be expelled from the order. The whole
committee was very positive that its orders
to return to work would be generally obeyed,
and asserted most post vely that those
who refused to obey its orders would
be put cut of the order and, to use the
exact words of one of the committee,
kept out of it it forever A message from
Mr.. Hoxie was read to the committee, in
which he said that only portion of the men
formerly employed would lie required by the
company on account of a reduction in bust
ness caused the strike, and because large
number of men bad been employed to take
the places OF the strikers, who would not be
discharged" ~

RIOT AND RUIN.
THE FIREBRAND REsoRTED TO.
A Crowd Modest Officers of the Law
And Bloodshed Is the Result.

A fearful battle took place in East St.
Louis between a number Of Deputy Sheriffs,
who had charge Of the Louisville and Nash
vile crossing, and a crowd Of several hundred
strikers. The latter, the Deputies say, fired
stones at them and jeered them, and at last
they responded by firing q volley into the
crowd.
The following were killed.
PAT DRISCOM, Wabash section hand, not a
srkar.
OSCAR WASHINGTON, a painter, not
striker.
JOHN BOHMAN. coal miner, not a striker
The nights developments in East st. Louis
were startling. Several military companies
arrived from Decatur, Springfield and Nash
Vile, and it was thought their arrival would
quell riotous proceedings A few minutes
before midnight fire broke out in the L luis-
vile and Nashville yards, sew eral cars being
fired at about the same time. E St st.
Louis has no fire department, and in re-
sponse to the appeal Of Mayor Joice two
engines were sent over.
The strikers did nothing until the firemen.
had got their hose laid and gone to work.
Then they commenced cutting the hose and
iutimidating the firemen. These threats had
their effect. and the fremen returned, leav-
ing the fire in possession.

Nashville yards and drive out the men en-

advanced. As they proceeded their numbers
again increased, some joining the mob simply
as spectators while others were in flu SYM

irving there they swarmed into the yards
and persuaded the men at work to desert
their posts. The crowed remained in the
yards for some time, and, although consider
able excitement prevailed, no violence was
reeorted to.

RELIGIOUS OPINION.

The bishop Of Pittsburg DIR. Whiteheadl
in n recent address to Sunday school work
crs said; | am n thorough believer in hi,
Robert Raikes1 system; few teachers, and
they paid iii need bel for their services
strict discipline; longer sessions; a definit,
system OF instruction; oh igatory attend
nnce at divine service; constant supervision
and catechizing by the clergy; in short, tn,
Sunday school is an institution esinb ished
and maintained authoritatively by tn,

helper IN the church's own work. . =

lesson. ! would ave reviews and e1amina

worthy. We make a great mistake in no
showing in every possible way that we hold
the Sunday school to be, at best. as impor
ant and respectable an institution as tn,
day school.

th' h'sPifhhofJ
From the vital statistics which DIR. Bill
ings has classified, the appearance is that
the respiratory machinery is the feeble
point in the American man and woman; or
perhaps though the summary of the
statistics published does not show this-of
any man or woman who endeavors to live
In our climate. Diseases Of the lungs and
diseases directly related to pulmonary dis
orders nre out OF all proportion to any
other in their fatality. Consumption is
the disease which, taken separately, kills
more per prisons per thousand OF the pop
ulation than any other one disease, and
pneumonia Is next to 1t. Consumption
kills 81 per 1000. pneumonia 63 per 1000,
and the largest number per ZOO to which
any other malady is fatal Is 70. But II we
class together consumption, pneumonia,
heart disease and bronchitis, the fatality
of this group is l9l per / 900; which amply
shows that the respiratory organs are the
dangerous spots; the points in our vital
fertilization through which the enemy
gets in will greatest facility and where he
does most harm. Consumption is, 1t is
true, classed as q general or constitutional
malady, but many forms OF disease that
are classcd AS consumption are specially
diseases OF the lungs or their pleural en-
velopes, and all are fatal through their
ravages upon this organ.
What are the causes and what Is to be
the consequence OF the fact that the statis-
tics thus make out, No doubt our terri
BILE climate is the first cause. Over a
widely-extended part of this country the
thermometer ranges from season to sea-
son through 40 or 100 degrees OF the
Fahrenheit scale. We lave a the same
cities a Russian winter and an Italian
summer, and rs neither high nor low
temperature; but the capacity to with
stand great changes from one to the other
is the true trial OF vital force, our people
are exposed to such a test a none other
is ever called upon TO endure. New York

From Russian sources comes a report
which may explain the sudden resignation

said that the shah has granted Mr.. Wins
ton a concession for the construction of a
railway system to connect the capital,
lspahan, with the chief cities Of the king.
dom, OF very favorable terms under guar
antee for twenty years, and that the ex-
minister has gone to st. Petersburg to ar
range for the transportation Of material
by way OF the Caspian. The report is en-
trciy probable aud the grant would
doubtless meet with the approval Of
