EXECUTIVE OFFICE, }


RICHARD J. OGLEsBY, GOVERNOR.
To the people Of the State Of Illinois.
A great calamity has fallen upon the
city Of Mount Vernon, Jefferson County,
in our State. On yesterday afternoon a
cyclone swept over that city, leaving
death, devastationsand ruin in its track
Advices up to this time state that more
than fifty persons were killed, one hun
dTed severely and some fatally wounded,
and one thousand of its citizens are left
homeless and destitute. A calamity
such as this falling suddenly on
q peaceful people at this inclement season
of the year, must of necessity infict seri-
Gus and distressing loss and misery. Such
q misfortune can not but appeal to the
deepest sympathy of a generous public,
and to that public, in the name of the
whole people of the State, 1, without hesi.
tation, appeal for immediate aid and en-
couragement 1t is well known that the
General Assembly places no appro-
priation at the disposal of the Execu-
tive to be used on occasions like this.
l therefore request Mayors of cities and all
religious and charitable associations, socie-
ties and organizations to lend q helping
hand in this hour Of sorrow and distress,
by assisting in raising contributions for the
relief Of those people.
All subscriptions In money or other sup.
plies will be forwarded TO G. w. Evans,
Chairman Of the Local Finance Committee,
Mt. Vernon, Jefferson County, Ill.

sudden Attaci<s of sJckness.

OMAHA, Neb., March 15.-At two o'clock
yesterday morning every switch engine in
the employ OF the Union Pacific railroad
had its fires drawn and stood silently in
the round house, and no freight bad
left the city all night, while ordi-
narily from eight to fourteen freights de-
parted from here daily. The sudden ''sick-
ness" which developed among the eugin-
GERS Tuesday at the sight of Burlington

crews came on and found 90" on nearly
every sIde-track. Yesterday morning
eighteen engineers were SICK and only
four OF the seventeen yard engineers

GRESHAM'S DECISION.
His Decision Respecting the Wabash's At
tItude to the Burlington.


tItude to the Burlington.
CHICAGO, March 14.-After a formal
statement of the case Judge Gresham de-
livered the following opinion in the Wabash
case this morning:
although the property Of the Wabash
Company is in the custody of the court,
it is operated by the receiver as a common
carrier. His rights and duties are those OF
| a carrier. He is bound to afford to all
railway companies whose lines connect
with his equal facilities for the ex-
change of traffic. 1t is his duty to
receive from and deliver to other connect
ing roads bot h loaded and empty cars. He
can not discriminate against one road by
maintaining the policy of non-intercourse.
More need not be said on this question, as
the receiver has wisely rescinded his in
structions which discr minated against the
petitioner, and he has no purpose or desire
to deny to the petitioner any or its local
rights.
although the petitioner has accom-
plished its chief purpose in invoking the
aid of the court, it is urged by its counsel
that persons belonging to the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, and especially
P. NJ. Arthur, who is the chief officer OF
that organization, have interfered with
the receiver and his subordinates in the
management of the Wabash property, and
that they should be punished for their
illegal and contumacious conduct The
receiver and his counsel make no such
complaint. Ga the contrary, the receiver
declares that there has been no Interior
ence with him. While affidavits su omitted
in support OF the petition show that Mr..
Arthur sent a telegraphc message to the
engineers of the Union Pacific Railway
Company at Omaha, directing them to haul
no cars for the petitioner. it does not fairly
appear from the evidence that the en-
gneers in the service of the receiver re-
ceived such orders by telegraph or other
wise.
''For the present it is sufficient TO say
that the court will protect the property OF
the Wabash in its custody. The employees
of the receiver can not be obliged to re-
main III his service against their will. but
neither they nor others Will be permitted to
interfere with or disturb the receiver or
his subordinates in the possession and opera
ton of the property in his custody. Lawless
interference with the receiver and his en-
ployes in the discharge OF their duties VIII
not be tolerated. 1t is proper to state how
ever in justice to the Wabash engineers,
that they do not desire to maintain an at
titude or defiance to the law, and that they
are now willing to aid the receiver in the
lawful and successful administration of his
trust. The receivers answer renders it
unnecessary for the court to do more than
direct that the petition remain on file for
future action should there be occasion for
