Suit Against the M. P. r. r.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Sept. Pit will be
recollected that during the great
strike on the Missouri Pacific road
system in the spring Of 1886, a freight
train was wrecked near Wyandotte,
Kansas, and two of its crew
killed, and that number of
Knights of Labor strikers were
arrested, charged with the act. One
of the arrested men, George Hamil-
ton was tried and acquitted and the
other cases were nolle prosed. Sub
sequently Mike Leary and Robert
Geers, two of the arrested knights
brought suits against the Missouri
Pacific company for damages, for ma
licious prosecution and yesterday de-
positions were taken here in this
case by B. P. Wagones of Kan
sas, attorney for the Missou-
ri Pacific. These dispositions were
given by the knights of Labor said
to be more or less dissatisfied with
the order, and it is alleged they show
that the order took the Wyandotte
train wreckers directly under its pre-.
lection, and spent some thirty thous-
and dollars of its general fund in
their defence. Also that in the spirit
of revenge over the failure of the
strike of the Missouri, the car
works at St. Charles, Missouri,
and the Vandalia freight depot in
East st. Louis were destroyed
by fire, and that the plan was devised
to blow up the bridge here, by float
ing dynamite laid in barge against
it. But this was not carried out. The
names of the actors in these events
were given and it was stated that
men much higher in the ranks of the
knights knew much about these
things. In view of these state
ments, it is said master workman
Powderly and Secretary Hayes
when they arrive here next week, will
be put through an affidavit mill and
that the other members of the eXecu-
tive board will be compelled to tell
what they know. Testimony of 9TH
er local knights will also be taken.
Two or three local labor leaders when
seen in regard to the disclosures made
in the affidavits, said the Knights of
Labor court the fullest investigation
and view the act of the railroad COM
pany as bold case of bluff, intended
to frighten other defendants from
suing the road and also to scare Pow
derly from coming here to investigate
various things in connection with the
endorsement of Thomas Furlong. ap-
plicant for the position of head of the
United States Secret Service.

THBGRAND JURY ADJOURNED OVER, LAST
EVENING TILL TODAY
General Belief That There viii be Lots Of lndict-
msns-Ths DOckss Called in the Federal
Circuit and District Courts.

As was suggested might be the case, in
Yesterdays REGISTER, the grand jury Of
the Ohio county Circuit Court did not con-
clude its labors yesterday, and at five
O'Clock took an adjournment until $3.50
this morning, when the examination Of wit
nesses will be resumed. When the adjourn
ment was taken there were but one or two
witnesses remaining to be examined, but 1t
may be that others will be brought forward
this morning.
It is the prevailing belief that the num-
Der of indictments to be returned by the
jury will be large, being estimated as high
as ono hundred by many.
The docket was called in Part One,
Judge PAUL, yesterday, and the civil bust
ness was set. The leading cases are the
Islander suits of L. A. Kyle V. John E. Nc
Cardle and John E. Sissop, damages IN
SO 600 being claimed in each case. The
McCardle case was passed, but there will
be an argument on a special plea in the
other case, set down for Saturday, the 9Th
inst.
S. G. williams, of Cincinnati, an old
Wheeling boy, was admitted to practice in
this court.
The docket will be called in Part Two

FOUND IN THE RIVER.
The BODY OF Man Discovered About SIX
O'Clock Last Evening.

The BODY of Man Discovered About SI1
O'Clock Last Evening.
About six o'clock last evening word was
telsphoned 10 police headquarters that
man had been discovered 10 "Back" river
near the government dam. Officer Lukens
and Constable Loa S. Meyers at once
crossed the Island, and at point almost
due west of the grand stand of the ball
park, and about fifty yards north Of the
east end of the government dam, they
found the body.
The body wAs lying on its face in bed
of soft mud. two to three feet deep, and
had apparently drifted along there when
the river YVES higher, probably while the
water was going over the dam, ard settling
down in the eddy, was gradually covered
with mud and sediment. The body was
living on its face in the mud, with the
head, arms and legs up to the thighs bur
led in the slime, and the back, from the
shoulders to the middle of the thighs ex-
posed TO the hot sua. There was nothing
upon the body, except flannel shirt and
a pair of drawers or linen trousers, con.
fined at the waist by leather strap, and
the man had evidently been mill man or
miner. He had evidently been in the
water for many weeks, as the skin on the
parts exposed was almost tanned, and 1t
was the general opinion of all present that
the body YVES that of one of the victims Of
the Johnstown disaster. Coroner Schultze
was notified.

SCARCITY OF GAS.
Several Mills Returning to the Use o

Several Mills Returning to the Use of
OoRl.
The natural gas supply is becoming
scarcer every day in Wheeling, and
there is especial complaint among the man
uiacturers, who had hoped that during
warm weather they would have all the gas
they needed
For several weeks past the Riverside
Tube works and plate mill have been very
greatly TO hered by lack of gas, and AZ
times during the day have been compelled
to lay of until the flow became better.
This was especially the case yesterday, and
the company are now getting things IN
shape as rsidly as possible to 20 back to
the use of coal in the tube works.
The Bsllaire mill has gone back to the
use of coal and ia using it all departments.
The LaBelle ia also receiving very in
adequate supply of gas, AFT it is under
stood they contemplate return to coal in
all departments. Several of the other mills
and other manufactures are in the same po-
sition. The manufacturers have at last come
to conclusion that something must be done
to protect themselves, and in view OF this
state Of affairs the prospects are that a
thorough test will soon be made in this VI
cinity for gas.
