THE IOWA SENATE.

The Iowa state senate has covered it.
self with distinction of most uneDvia-
BILE kind. 1t has. proclaimed to the tax
ridden people of the state that it is vir-
tually an association of railway attor-
neys, anxious to obey the behests of it's
masters. For weeks a railroad bill has
been in course of preparation in the
Iowa legislature, which was calculated
to afford the people of the state gener-
ally, and the farmers particularly, relief
from multitude of exactions and evils
inflicted upon them by the railroads of
the state, which could not be reached by
the interstate commerce law.
A bill was prepared which promised
to give the people the desired relief.
All was smooth sailing until it was in
troduced into the senate. Then the
railway attorneys began to show their
hands. At once the bill was loaded
down with amendments which practi-
cally nullified it, and in this shape the
railroads viewed its passage with I'M
concern. The people must continue to
suffer, but the senators have warranted
lasting gratitude toward them on the
part of the roads.
A time of reckoning will come, how
ever. when the people will be called
upon to voice their sentiments regard
ing these gentlemen at the polls, and
powerful though the corporations are,
it is not difficult to predict the result.

THE DEATH OF DuE1ING,

The death of Col. CASH, of South Car
DINA, removes from the scene the last
representative of that once numerous
class which believed in the avenging of
wounded honor by resort to mortal COM
bat. With the doughty colonel's death
occurs also the death of dueling in the
South. The South is to be congratu-
lated. There must of course have been
an immense deal of satisfaction to the
surviving duelist when he beheld his
antagonist lying dead at his feet, but it
was satisfaction that was not shared
to any great extent by. the other or his
fatherless family. And what good pur-
pose was subserved? None at all. The
merit of the dispute still remained I'M
determined. The weight of the argu-
nept was with the debater who
was the better shot or had the
most muscular sword arm. Now
the complexion of things is
changed. Skin gloves have taken the
place of derringers,a land disfgured coun-
tenances the place of death wounds.

Anxiety at Winona.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Mimi, March 5. - The
threatened tie-up of the roads has
caused the same anxiety here as else
where, and the action of the engineers
on the roads running into Win0na is
looked forward to with no little concern.
The order for the Chicago, Burlington
g. Northern engineers to go out at z this
evening was understood to have been
recalled again later in the evening.
The two engineers stationed at Winona
are not members of the Brotherhood,
and know nothing of the status of af-
fairs other than they were willing to
keep at work and help the company out
elsewhere in case of an emergency.
The stub train went over to East WinOna
with party of interested Winonians on
board and met passenger train No. 5.
Engineer Bell refused to say anything,
telling the newspaper men that they
couldn't get anything out of him. Ben
edict, another old engineer, came down
Oh passenger train No. 4, but he, too,
was nOn-cOmmunicative. Both are
Brotherhood men. The Northwestern
engineers on the st. Peter and Madison
divisions here generally discuss the
troubles, but it is impossible to learn
that any tie-up OH the Northwestern is
contemplated. There are large num-
Der of Brotherhood men on the WinOna

A WAR LECTURE.
Gen. johnson Lectures Before the
Mortified Y. M. @. A.

Gen. johnson Lectures Before the
Northfield Y. M. @. A.
Northfield Independent.
Gen. r. W. Johnson's closing lecture
of the course at the Congregational
church Tuesday evening was to a
smaller audience than would have
greeted him had it not been that by
some mistake another lecturer was
holding forth at the M. E. church at the
same time. Notwithstanding, the audi
ence was a fair and an appreciative
one. Gen. johnson was in the regular
army in Texas at the outbreak of the
rebellion, and his lecture was brief
outline history of the war, mainly of the
campaigns and battles in which he took
a part, particularly those in Kentucky,
Tennessee and Georgia. His descrip-
ton of the awful and sublime terrible
ness of battles as he participated in
them was vivid word painting that put
the scene before the minds of his hear
erS with fearful distinctness. And his
own soldierly revolt from such horrors,
except for the saving of that which is
dearer than life, and his own expressed
supreme desire that such horrors would
never be re-enacted, found response in
all our neaftS, as ala also MS eSIlmate
of the debt which our nation owes to
the brave soldiers who fought and died
that the nation might live, not forgetting
loved ones and endured and suffered
and mourned at home.
'Tis not in honor's gift to lend new life
To those who fell in battles stormy strife,
Nor sooth one pang of the bereaved heart
Still welded to its dead no more to part.
But it is a grateful country's privilege
to sooth the declining years of the sur
vivors, and demonstrate anew to the
world that republics are not ungrateful.

DEFAULTING TREASURER.
A DefaIcatiOn in County Treas
urer's Office in 1882 just
Brought to Light.

Brought to Light.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 5.-Partic-
ulars of defalcatiOn in the Office of the
county treasurer have been made pub
lie. 1t has been discovered that during
the term of County Treasurer John S.
J Longenecker, from 1882 to 1885, there
was defalcation in his office amount
ing to $1,000. Longenecker's clerk
was ErastuS j. Jones, who succeeded
him as county treasurer. When Long
checker went out of Office Jones gave
him receipts showing that he had re-
ceived all the money supposed to be in
the treasury, when the fact was that
there was a shortage of $4,000, which
Jones concealed and carried all through
} his term of office, ending Oh Jan. 1. On
that date George Grove became the
county treasurer, and he would not re-
/ ceipt for anything but cash from Jones.
There was good deal OF delay until
Jones would acknowledge that anything
was wrong, but finally, when he could
no longer prevent it, the truth came
out. The county looked to Longenecker
: to pay the defalcation of his crooked
clerk, and IOngenecker fell back on his
bOndSmen, Col. James Young, of Mid
dletown, and Col. w. W. Jennings, of
Harrisburg, who paid the money, TAX
ing Longenecker's note for $4,000, rep
resenting principal and interest. The
affair has created the greatest excite
ment in Harrisburg, and there is much
conjecture as to what Jones did with
the money. He has been in Office for
years. and for several years past he has
been the reputed owner of the Morning
Call, newspaper. There is no talk OF
proceeding against him criminally.

OMAHA, Neb., March 5.-A prominent
member of the Brotherhood of Engi-
neers, when asked to-day upon what he
based his confidence of winning the
fight with the Burlington, said: upon
the belief that the company cannot sue

they have engaged. The disabled en-
gines and the delays in the few trains
moving show that not more than one in
ten of the alleged engineers and fire.

ness" Another influential member of
the order, in the employ or the Union
Pacific road, when asked if in his opin-
ion an order for general strike would
be obeyed, said:
ut would at once, and without hesita-
ton. But, in my opinion, this talk
about general strike is all bosh. l
don't think there will be any necessity
for 1t. We do, however, expect orders
to refuse to handle cars from the Bur
lingtOn. In this way that road will be
compelled to do only local business"
"But should the Union Pacific insist
upon your handling Burlington cars on
their road, what would be the result?"
"a strike"
"In case of general strike don't you
think the public, On account of the
great Inconvenience resulting. would
lose its sympathy for your cause%'
Not at all. This would force the
hearing of the issue at once, and thus
determine the justice of our demands"
When asked his opinion about the
probability of the strike involving the
Union Pacific. high official of that
road said: 1--WE hardly know where
we stand. All places are slippery. Our
men have no grievances, and seem sat
isfed with their labor and pay. They
have our confidence, We believe we
have theirs. We are working along
smoothly as if nothing were going to
happen. We sincerely trust that moth
ing may happen" General Manager
HOldridge of the Burlington, when asked
about the proposed boycott, said: eve
have right to insist on connecting
roads handling our freight. If they re-
fuse to do so we will see what efficacy
there is in the inter state commerce
law"

A COWARDLY MURDER.

Treasury-.-Fatal Shooting ARRAY
Urine News.

/, ST. LOUIS, March 5.-An atrocious
murder was committed Saturday MORN
ing at Winona, Shannon county, Mo-, a
prominent railroad contractor being the
victim. The Currant river branch of
the Gulf railroad is being constructed
here under contract sublet to George
Madden. The contractor, in obedience
to demand from his lab0rerS, has often
asked an advance in the payments.
Saturday morning he threatened to
shoot Mr.. Mckee, superintendent of
construction. Constable John Rucker
interfered and saved trouble, but the
latter lay in ambush, and as Madden
passed by shot and killed him in most
iuncalled-for and cowardly manner. He
fed to Justices Office and in fifteen
minutes was released ON 81 900 bail, and
took to the woods. In the meantime
the railroad hands organized a lynch
ing bee, and the last seen Of Rucker
was when flying through the woods,
pursued by bowling mob. There is
no communication with this point, and
it is not known if the fugitive escaped
or not. The men have returned to
work.

the engineers and firemen would be
obliged to quit work. To this, Mr.. Barr
prepared his reply to-day. 1t was a
very corteous document, but left no
room for a compromise or misunder-
standing. The demands were denied
and the men were ordered to report to
the proper officers at st. Paul, La Crosse
and Savannah, or Oregon, by Tuesday
noon, what course they expected to
take, and if the strike was determined
on they were to ask for time checks, be
paid off and discharged. This notice

A Bloody Battle.

GALVESTON, Tex, March 5.-A dis
) patch from Matamoras says: ''Advices
from Lleve De Canales, in the southern
part of the state, say that on the MORN
ing of the 18th ult. that Lleve and
Picah's ranches were attacked by a
party of nineteen or twenty men from
Escandon, commanded by Braulio
Cuyantes. At both places bloody
contests took place. At Lleve the
first alcalde, Juan Suanchez, and his
daughter were killed, as were also
Manegildo Ruiz, Epigmence rodriguez
and Crescencia Munoz. AT Picacho
they killed Julio Acuna and his son,
Pablo, Bustamente, Analdoman Ne

Of the attacking party one Porfirce Sea-
patta was killed. The loss on the part
of Lleves was nine men and one
girl killed. The loss of Escandon was
one killed and a number of persons
wounded. The fight is said to have
been bloody one. 1t appears that the
assailants first attacked Lleve, killed

DEATH OF LOUIS FISHER.

Another veteran journalist has fallen
by the wayside. At an early hour this
morning the soul of LOUIS FISHER
passed into everlasting rest. The news
of his death will be received with the
profoundest sorrow by the people of
this city, by whom he was held in the
highest esteem and affection.
Mr.. FISHER was one of the pioneer
Journalists OF the Northwest, and did a
full share toward the development of
this section and the upbuilding of this
great metropolis. Mr. FISHER was a
splendid type Of the gentleman of the
Olden time. He was as square man as
GOD ever made, and no one can point to
an act of his life that was stained
with dishonor. There was nothing
small about LOUIS FISHER. He carried
his great big heart on his sleeve, and
the doxology beamed in his face. Broad
and liberal in his opinions, urbane in
his manner, kind of heart, genial in his
nature, as generous as the day is long,
the friend of every man and every
man his friend, it is no wonder
that he became the center Of
large social circle, and formed friend
ships that could only be dissolved by
death. Mr.. FISHER was an un0stenta-
tious man, whose modesty was only
equalled by his genuine worth. His life
was beautiful exemplification of purity
and integrity, and deserves to be copied
by the rising generation.
Only few weeks ago Mr.. FISHER was
elected president of the st. Paul Press
club, distinction that was cheerfully
and unanimously conferred upon him
by his younger associates in the profess
sion. His death will create void in
the journalistic ranks of this city, and
by none will his loss be mourned with
more profound regret than by his pro-
fessional brethren. who have so often
been indebted to him for words of wis
dom and deeds of kindness. Peace to

OVERWORK AGAIN.

Vice President POTTER. of the Union
Pacific railroad, has many friends in st.
Paul who have been shocked to learn
that the recovery of that gentleman
from the illness which has taken hold
of him is very doubtful. But what one
of these active, energetic and hard
working business men appreciates the
cause of Mr.. PoTTER's collapse and
learns its very apparent lesson?
The sole reason for his sickness, we
have the testimony of his physicians for
it, Eis his over-devotion to work. He
has driven himself without rest OF re-
Taxation to the extreme limit of endur-
ance, and the natural result follows.
he has broken down completely, and
even though he RECEIVERS from his
present shock will never be a well man
again.
Intervals Of rest would have enabled
him to hoard his vital strength and
would have preserved him for years of
further usefulness. Needless, however,
