Mr.. Smith Speaks.

CHICAGO, LII, March 16.-At 10 p. m. @.
M. Smith, vice president and general man
ager of the Santa Fe system, said the
switchmen had volunteered to take the pas
senger trains of the company west from
Kansas City to nigh, land that more brother
hood men would run out the regular passen-
ger trains in the morning. Mr.. Smith
thought that similar arrangements would be
made in the far west 80 the east
bound passengers would not be della I. !.
Otherwise there has been no change
since last evening. when the road was
stopped in ten minutes. The freight traffic
Of the road is virtually al q stand still. The
representatives of the enginemen on all tho
roads entering Chicago were again in ses-
sion to-day, and are to resume their delib-
erations tomorrow. No hint of what they
were doing could be pumped from any of
the delegates.
The Atchison, Mr.. Smith said, would
make no attempt to put other engineers in
the place of the strikers or adopt any ex-
treme measures. There was conservative
element, and large one, among the Atchi-
son engineers, apd the better course for the
company to pursue was to wait and give the
good sense of the men chance to assert it.
self, by bringing moral suasion to bear in
the meantime. He believed their action
had been taken without due reflection and
was the result Of ILL advised counsel. Pres
ident Strong, of the Atchison, was in the
city and fully endorsed what Vice President
Smith had said.

Murder and Suicide.

DENVER, COL, March 19.-Ths insane
jealousy Of Charles Sweighart, q German
about forty years of age, was the cause of
tragedy about noon to-day, which resulted
in the murder of George Kreiner and the
suicide of Swelghart. The latter was di-
vorced from his wife two years ago in this
city, since whom he has been residing in
Utah. He returned from there this morn-
ing and went to boarding house kept by
his former wife, three miles from
the city and demanded breakfast
The woman refused, saying her attorney
advised her to have nothing to do with him.
He immediately drew q revolver and fired
three shots at her without effect. The wo-
man ran screaming from the house, Sveig-
hart following her. She jumped into hack
standing in front of the door in which the
man had driven TO the house. The driver
put th6 whip to the horses and drove rapidly
away, but not before the insane man had
fired three shots into the carriage, neither
of which harmed the woman. He then re-
turned to the house and opened fire on
Charles Reaham and George Krsiner, two
Rsaham's right arm was broken and
Kreiner received a ball through the
temple and died instantly. Sweighart then
pointed the revolver at his own head and
sent ball crashing through his skull, scat
tering his brains and bones all over the
room. Tho murdered man had boarded
with the Swsighart family for ten years,
and the opinion is that the latter thought
improper relations existed between Mrs.
Sweighart and Kreiner, which so worked
upon his mind that 1t drove him to the deed.
The woman denies that any relations of the
kind existed between them.

judge Dundv's Decision.

OMAHA, March 7.Judge Dundy, Of the
United States district court, to-day rem
dered his decision in the Injunction suit
brought by the Burlington road against the
Union Pacific company and the engineers
in their employ to prevent them from refus-
ing to receive or transport Burlington
freight. In substance, the court holds the
engineers on the Union Pacific have the
right to quit work whenever they please, but
they have not the right to enter
into q conspiracy, and by concerted
action suddenly leave the Union
Pacific without engineers and fremen, when
the purpose Of that conspiracy Is to prevent
the Union Pacific road from exchanging
freight with the Burlington, as by the inter-
state commerce law it is requested to do.
Nor have the engineers the right to refuse to
pull Burlington cars, and such refusal would
subject them to imprisonment. The Union
Pacific is the creation of congress, and con-
gress has distinctly enacted that its off,
GERS, agents and operators must
at all times exchange with and handle
the freight Of certain interesting lines,
among them the Burlington il Missouri
River, and has made q refusal q misde-
meanor, punishable by q fine Of not less than
81, 900 and imprisonment for not less than
six months on conviction. The interstate
commerce law reiteratee, in effect for all
roads, the Union Pacific among them,
prescribed as the clearly defined duties Of
the Union Pacific in 1874.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16-Among
the bills reported from committees and
placed on the calendar were several bills
granting to railroad companies the right Of
way through the Fort Riley military reserva-
ton in Kansas.
A number of minor matters were disposed
of, after which the under valuations bill was
taken up and passed without division.
Mr.. Plumb offered a preamble and reso-
luton reciting the fact of the interruption
of freight traffic on the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroads, and instructing the committee
on intersta commerce to inquire whether
such interruption of commerce was occa-
stoned by the failure of the railroad COM
panies to adopt necessary precautions or by
other neglect of their duty as common car
riers.
Mr.. Harris suggested that the resolution
had better lie over for the present, and that
was assented to by Mr.. Plumb.
The resolution was therefore laid over.
The senate then adjourned until Monday.

HOMESTEAD ENrRIEs.

The Secretary Of the Interior Makes IN I'm
portant Decision.
WASHINGTON, d. O., March 1.-THE see-
rotary of the interior has rendered the fol-
lowing important decision involving the
question of homestead entries in view to
making final proof:
To the Commissionsr of tho General Land On6cs:
Sn-l have considered the appeal of Viii
liam A. Thompson from J our of6ce July 8,
1886, rejecting his final proof for
the land therein mentioned. I think
this man il entitled to his pat
emit. He made his declatory statement
April rs, 1883, alleging settlement the week
before, and shows that he made it. It ap-
pears that he was absent during most OF the
following summer; that he was on the land
from the fall until the following spring;
absent again during the succeeding summer;
again upon the land from fall until spring,
and Lot absent six months at any one time;
that he applied the proceeds of his labor
during the two seasons when he was absent
to the building of his house and making
improvements on his land, now valued alto
gether at 5000; that he was poor man
and that his absence Tor the purpose OF
earning means to improve his land
and deposit all his earnings With
fidelity to that purpose. In the spring Of
the third year he left again and remained
away till the following January, his purpose
being to earn sufficient money to pay the
government for his land. The sum was
$500, considerable sum for laborer to
save from his wages in a year in addition to
the necessary fees and expenses. He APP
pears to have done it, and Notwithstanding
that he was not personally present on his
land during the last months preceding the
completion of bis entry, the fact cannot
annul his right. He made "a settlement in
person" on hrs land. he has erected a dwell
ling thereon, he has improved
the land, and he has inhabited
it in good faith. When it is considered that
this tract was situated many miles from the
ordinaryihighways, remote from settlements
generally. that it is very difficult of access,
and yet that he has persistently clung to it
for three years, applying all the results of his
labor to its improvement and purchase, it Is
difficult to discern q case to be found in
more marked good faith. His inhabitanoy
of the land is not impeached after the Land
is once secured by his going abroad to pro-
cure means to bring back there to improve
and obtain title to it. must reverse your
decision and direct patent to be issued to
the claimant

The Hurricanes Work.

BALTIMORE, Nd, March 17.-Defnite
news of the damage done among the oyster
fleets on the lower Chesapeake is beginning
to come in. There was great destruction of
vessel property and loss of life. In Anna
messex river, an arm of the bay, an un-
known schooner was sighted Monday in dis
tress by revenue cutter. She had flying q
signal of distress. She had Grew of five
or six men. The cutter attempted to reach
the schooner, but could not do 80 on account
of the prevailing hurricane. Other unsuc-
cessfuPattempts were made during Tuesday
and the vessel was finally reached Wednes-
day. Her crew had been overcome by hunger
and cold. They were found frozen stiff and
dead. There are number of sunken boats
in Muddy creek, q branch of the river, and
number of dredgers persisted.
E. 81. Ludington and three men from the
sloop ''Allen Bird" wore saved by Bleaching
their boat in Annamesax river. They were
anchored about two miles from Ford's
Landing during the storm. Several schoon-
ers and PUNCHES were around them. The
schooner Fox dragged both her anct ors, but
was not wrecked. The schooner 'Eastern
Light" foundered and four of her crew were
Pungy Molly was drowned. OF the schooner
Joseph Allen, mean by, four were lost and
three rescued. 1t 10 impossible now to
estimate the full damage of the storm
upon the Chesapeake, - it will be
a week before returns can be gathered from
the data at hand. Between 100 and 200 YES
sells were either cast ashore, oapsized or
sunk. From thirty to forty were wrecked,
and from twenty to thirty people were
drowned. Most of the boats were sloops and
oyster and fish schooners. The damage will
run far up into the thousands. The inun-
dation of the low lands of the Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia peninsula caused
great loss. On the eastern shore Of Vir-
ginis the people were obliged to live in at
tics without fire or food, and in one region
vessels were carried over 500 feet inland,
where receding tides have left them high
and dry. Specials last night from Girls

General Boulanger.

PARIS, March 16.-General Boulanger sent
a dispatch to Deputy Langurr yesterday
saying that if he went to Paris it was only
in order to see his wife, who was seriously
i'll, and that General Logerot, the war min
lister. know his reason for going, but re-
fused him leave of absence, but although
commanders of other corps were constantly
going without authority. "But the country
will not be deceived" he adds. cit will
perceive that this blow has been leveled on
account of the result of the election"
In letter General Boulanger denies that
he had any hand in the elections. Never,
for any consideration, would he consent to
ally himself with the enemies of the repub-
lie. The minister Of war has ordered Gen
oral Boulanger to return to Cleremont ferry.
If the general refuses to return he will
probably be arrested. Committees have
been formed TO make General Boulanger q
candidate in all the elections as q national

pate that the strike would extend into Texas.
He knew of no grievance on the part of
their engineers and ffemen, and said
their relations toward the company
seemed friendly and satisfactory. In view,
however, of the unexpected strike on the
main line, he did not know what to expect,
and had issued orders this afternoon in
