Another strike Threatened.

KANSAS CITY, March l6.-The situa-
ton or the Kansas City, Fort Scott q
Gulf system is critical. 1t Was thought
certain that the men would strike at 3
O'Clock this afternoon, and the men in the
yards are said to have expressed surprise
that no order came. Chairman Carroll
of the union grievance committee said
this evening that the strike was only pre-
vented by word from Chairman Hotchkiss
of the Fort Scott grievance committee,
who requested that positive action be de-
ferred until his arrival. He is expected
to night or tomorrow, and Chairman
Carroll has already intimated that the
strike is less than twenty four hours dis
tant.

THE GREAT STRIKE.
The Situation Becoming More
Complicated.
A Few Passenger Trains Run
ming Out of Chicago.
Chief Arthur Unable to Give
Any Explanation.
The Situation.

DENyEa, March 16.-The situation of
the Santa Fe strike remains unchanged.
The company attempted to send out the
Chicago and Kansas City express TO-
night, but the engineers refused to report
for duty and the train had to be sent back
to the yards. Superintendent Flynn
this afternoon received the following from
Topeka in reply to his inquiry as to
whether he should accept consignments of
through freight or not:

General Traffic Manager"
Tie company hopes to be able to send
out one train tomorrow. In the event
of the strike continuing the impression
exists that the matter will be settled be-
fore many days. Union Pacific officials
here deny that there is any trouble or pro-
liability of a strike on their lines. Their
men have given them no notice that any
thing of the kiCd will occur and as they
have no grievance that the company is
not willing to settle promptly, there can
be no foundation for the rumored strike
on the road next Sunday morning.

The growth of the nails is more rapid
IN children than in adults, and slowest
IN the aged. 1t goes on more rapidly in
summer than in winter, so that the same
nall that is renewed in 1879 days in win
ter, requires only 116 in summer. The
increase for the nails of the right hand is
o rapid than the left; it also differs
for the different fingers, and in order
corresponding with the length of the
finger. 1t is most rapid for the middle
finger; nearly equal for the two either
side OF this; slower for the little finger,

L,JuNTA, Colo, March l6.-The stu,

more complicated during the past twenty

allowed to run until the strike is compro-

A Decision To-Day.

OMAHA, March l6.-The Injunction
case hearing began before Judge Dundy
to day. On behalf of his clients, the en-
gineers of the Union Pacific, Gen. Gown
contended that the bill was filed against
them by the Burlington & Missouri River
road as part and parcel of a plan to com
pei them to work in direct opposition to
their wishes for the purpose of aiding
complainants in their fight. There was
no law to compel men when thew desired
to quit and hat alone seemed to be the
sole object of the bill.
IF that be the sole object said the
court, then this case has no business
here. | shall never order a man to work
against his will by injunction. Such ac-
ton would be ineduitable for the reason
that another remedy exists, a suit for a
breach of contract, whenever the terms
OF a contract as prescribed are not carried
out"
During Gen. GOWNS argunent the
word strike" was used several times.
The court said: This word strike is
OF modern origin. The question is re-
garding its legal definition, and on that
the case may turn. If it means, and it
can be shown that its meaning in this case
is a project to create a disturbance, delay
cars and ditch trains, then the court can
order a writ of injunction to restrain the
contemplated injury, and the charge
OF conspiracy is well taken, If
on the other hand, the word
in this case is synonymous with an In
tention of quitting work and quietly
walking out, | don't see how this court is
going to restrain this action. That is all
there is in the case as it stands at present
that | can see."
Judge Dundy said he would give his de
clslon tomorrow.

The streets of st. Petersburg are wider

More than one-third of the area is in the

%treeless and unturfed, surrounded by
houses gagged upon the same scale as

Chief Arthur I'm the Dark.

CHICAGO, March l6.-When ques-
toned regarding the strike on the Atchison
system, Chief Arthur said: 1T is be.
yond my power to give you any explana-
ton of this action. The men have not
notified me, and l am completely in the
dark. If the company has not broken its
agreement with the men they have done
wrong and must suffer the consequences.
1t is nothing less than open rebellion, for
it looks very much as though the men
were tired of the grand officers advices, or
w~illfully disregarded their duties to the
laws and constitution"

TRAGEDY AT DUNLAP.
Thomas Jones shoots His wife and
Kills Himself-- Domestic nfelicity.

DUNLAP, May 1s.-Dunlap seems to
have struck an epidemic Of tragedies. Last
night at o'clock Thomas Jones shot
his wife and afterwards shot and killed
himself. This man Jones came here with
his wife about four years ago from West
Union, Iowa. About two months ago his
wife left him, her claim being he had
failed to support her during their whole
married life. and that she had really sup
ported him, and that moreover he had
abused her continually. She went to
work for the family of Mr.. Roberts.
Last night about eight clock as Mrs.
Jones and Mrs. Gordon were walking
on the sidewalk near the house Of Mr..
Roberts, where Mrs. Jones was working,
the two women met Jones, and after
some words Jones drew revolver and
putting il in his wifes face discharged It,
in1icting severe wound in her face, al
though probably not dangerous. Mrs.
Jones and the other woman turned to
run, whereupon Jones fired at his wife
again, and he Jones) then placed the pis-
tol at his own head and blew out his
brains. The sympathy Of the community
has been very generally with Mrs Jones.
as she has always been hard working
industrious woman, and it has been gen.
orally understood that she has supported
herself and family, and Jones himself,
most Of the time. Jones was generally
considered lazy, shiftlcss sort of man,
but no one suspected him of any such
desperate designs as he has now carried
out His wife will probably recover from
the wound inflicted by her savage hus-
band. Jones died soon after he shot him
self, the wonder being that the selfin-
flicted wound did not XII him instantly.
