1t was announced that the officials were
fully satisfied with the present condition OF
affairs and that the next movement would
be q public announcement from the
strikers that the battle had been lost and
the strike would therefore be officially de-
clared off.
1t was also stated that in consideration of
this withdrawal from active hostilities the
company would quietly reinstate all the old
engineers and firemen as rapidly as possible,
and gradually let thenew men out. Neither
the strikers nor the company would affirm
or deny the report.
PROGRESS OF NEGOTIATIONS.
CHICAGO, April 6th.-General Manager
jeffrey, of the Illinois Central road. in COM
pany with Messrs Sargent, Monohan,
Hodge and Murphy, called at the Burling-
ton offices to-day. Sargent acted as spokes-
man in behalf of the late engineers and
firemen of the Burlington road, and urged
that the whole matter be left to arbitration.
The railroad officials said that such
proposition was inadmissible at the pres
ent time, and the situation of the new men
and the terms on which they were engaged
were fully explained.
General Manager Stone urged Sargent to
have the strike called off, promising to con-
slider applications from the old men, and
give as many of them work as he could.
THE STRIKE NOT YET OFF,
Grand Master Sargent, after the confer
ence was concluded, left for his home in
Terre Haute, leaving the local situation in
the hands of Chairman Hoge, of the Bur-
lington Grievance COMMITTEES. The latter
said tonight that the conference left the
situation practically unchanged. They
could not consent to having their men
taken back in patches. He denied that
there was any truth in the rumor prevalent
tonight to the effect that the strike had
been called off.
ANOTHER COMPLICATION.
Late tonight report was received at
the rooms of the Brotherhood that all
the yardmasters of the Burlington road,
except three, had left the service of the
company. There are in all about twenty
yardmasters in the night and day crews,
and it is their knowledge of the local
geography of the yards which makes them
valuable. Their positions are particularly
important at this time, during the rush of
freight, which the raising of the boycott
has caused.
This blow, following the switchmen's s
strike, just at the moment when it would
produce the most harm, makes it look as
if the fight was not over yet.

New Hope for Consumptive..

Each year brings new hopes for con-
sumptive patients, and some eminent men
think that the discovery of remedy for
this too common disease is now but matter
of time. Garcin has found that inhalation
of air containing small amount of HYDRO
fiuoric acid gas has remarkable good effect
on consumptives. OF hundred cases so
treated, Al per cent. improved and So per

bacilli of disease, and as phthisis is caused
by the presence of these lower germs of life

CHICAGO, April 6th.-A special from Ma
son City. Ia, says: The greatest freshet
ever known in this country was expert
enced last night. The town of Rock Falls,
on Shellrock river. experiencing it most
disastrously. The iron bridge, 155 feet long,
and the dam are both gone, and the dam
age to property there will not fall short OF
SIS ,o00.
RUINED TOWN.
The village of Rock Falls, south of the
river, was completely inundated. Houses
and barns were crushed and swept away.
and in some instances no vestige remains of
what was before substantial structure
The house of Mr.. Cruikshank, where he
lived with his wife and three children, was
crushed like an eggshell, the family having
narrow escape.
ALL NIGHT ON an IoE-RAFT.
The house in which Mrs. Anderson lived.
with her five children, was swept from its
foundation and foated against some trees,
where it lodged, the woman and children
escaping on floating ice, where they re-
manned barefooted and in their night
clothes until. daylight, when the water re-
ceded and their rescue made.
THE AVALANCHE OF ICE
The large bridge went cut when the ice
gorge gave way, and portions of the trusses
and stringers are now to be seen on the
farm of Joseph Herret, where they were
borne by the flood, two miles below. The
dam and tubing, considered the best in the
State, are gone.
Miles of fences were torn from the land
where water was never known to reack be-
fore When the water receded it left i'm
mense piles of ice on the streets. Huge
cakes, three feet thick, are piled up on one
another from ten TO Fifteen feet high, and it
will be there for weeks before they melt
and make the streets passable.
It looks like an Immense Arctic scene
with the roofs of houses protruding through
a fieid Of ice.

Tcrrible and Picturesque Sight on q
Mountain Railway.

Mountain Railway.
LOUISVILLE, April 6th.-Fonr cars OF
blazing oil rushed down the grade of Null
dIaughs hill shortly after midnight on
Wednesday night at the rate of mile a
minute, and the few startled inhabitants of
that section looked out of their windows to
see what they supposed was a comet flying
down the railroad track
Freight train IL on the Louisville and
Nashville road reached Muldraughs station
about 1880 o'clock. The last four cars were
loaded with barreled oil. The conductor
noticed leak in one of the barrels and got
in the car TO fix it. His lantern was acci-
dentally broken, and instantly there was
an explosion.
TRAINMEN BURNED.
The conductor was blown through the
window, and fell unconscious and fatally
hurt on the side of the track. Two men
named Clark and Steele. who were helping
him, jumped for their lives, but their
clothes were saturated with the burning
oil and they were fearfully scorched and
will die.
The trainmen seeing they could do moth
ing gtoward stopping the fire and realizing the
danger TO the rest of the cars, saw no alter
native but to cut loose the burning cars.
although the Louisville passenger was due
IN Httle time. The men unioosed the
coupling and trusted to luck that the pas
senger might escape danger.
BRILLIANT BUT AWFUL.
The incline on which the freight was
steaming up is four miles long and yery
steep, and the loosened cars shot back
wards with rapid and ever-increasing
speed. When they started ON the wild run
downward all four cars were eDveloped sol
idly in flames. The speed in which they
made their descent caused the flames to
stream high behind them like the tail of a
comet, and there were constant explosions
of barrels of gasoline, which sounded like
intermittent thunder.
The run down the slope was made in
lightning time. Famed by the wind the
fire made quick work of the cars, and
when the bottom was reached nothing was
left of them but the blackened trucks and
iron barrel hoops.

Big-Secked Mormon Elders Who Ca
Themselves oMartyrsD

y
Themselves Martyrs"
ICopyight, 1883, by The California Associated Fress
SALT LAKE, April 6th.-The second day
of the Mormon Conference was much better
attended than yesterday. The morning
was consumed mainly by the address of
Apostle John w. Taylor, son of the late
President Of the Church. He advised
faith, fasting, prayer and hope, and was
especially urgent on the tithe-paying pro-
position. The prosecutions the Saints are
now enduring are but as a little cloud and
will soon be gone.
Daniel II. Wells held forth on the
authenticity of the Book of Mormon and
the power of the holy priesthood, through
whom communication had been opened
up between Heaven and the children of
men.
PADoNED MARTYR.
In the afternoon Rudger Clawson
made the leading speech. He was con-
victed in 1884 of polygamy and sentenced
10 four years in the penitentiary. He
served three years and one month, and was
then pardoned by President Cleveland.
For his faithfulness and martyrdom," !"
Rudger was given by the church author
tiles the presidency of the Box Elder Stake.
He recited his sutferings and said he had
been convicted of obeying the laws of God,
and saw 300 of his brethren go to prison
ior the same offense, and 200 come out of
prison But / feel hrst-rate now. l am
not one whit damaged, and have just as
much faith-yea, even greater than four
years ago. l trust l may always be able
to express feeling of this kind, and if
necessary l would offer my life for the
gospels sake. When Christ's servants go
70 than nheU nDir1st law
CHRIST WILL BE WITH THEM,
And He has been in prison with our breth-
rem. The Saints have exhibited wonder
ful endurance in being cast into prison
amid the vile associates of thieves and
murderers, rather than go before the Court
and make the simple promise to obey the
law I say simple, but in reality it is a
serious thing. l feel like honoring the
Lord. He has given us principle of faith
which ii is glorious to believe in, and to
live by, and there are other principles by
which it is good to live by.
CAN'T HAVE TOO MANY WIVES.
THE Lord has revealed 10 us the principle
of celestial marriage, and by his help we
will honor it, and not make promise TO
abandon this any more than aI:y other
principle of our faith, One is Just as sneces-
sary and as good as another, and all should
be honored alike"
AN EDITED APOSTLE.
APOSTLE Heber j. Grant followed, de-
claring his edification by the foregoing
speech. The animus of our enemies is
their knowledge that Mormonism is true,
which they hate to acknowledge, and un-
less we live all the laws given US from God,
we will never enjoy the celestial kingdom. :"

that the subject could be more conveniently
