section contributing it.

from Decatur to Amarillo is called to meet at

Local Notes.

TIE rainstorm here this morning was the
heaviest of the season. Fences on Akard and
Wood streets are again in the gutter. The COM
plant now is that there is too much rain.
The city council last night elected for the third
time Mr.. Siegmund Loeb mayor pro TEN, AS
soon as the result announced the council
took recess and an exclusion to popular resort
on Main street, where Mr.. Loeb testified his
appreciation of the complement paid him in a
very liberal and agreeable manner.
Dan O'Leary, the well-known pedestrian, will
appear next Sunday afternoon at the fair
grounds where he will walk two miles, square
heel and toe, while John Retford runs three
miles. The purse is 500. Several other con-
tests are down on the programme for the after
noon.
The rain has prevented the baseball schedule
from being carried out here this week. The
games announced between the Dallas and Fort
Worth teams failed to come off on that account,
and that announced for to-day between the Dali
las and Austin clubs also goes over. Unless the
weather clerk changes the kind of weather he
has given us for the past four days, the week
will pass without single game being played in
the city.
George A. Eddy and H. G. Cross. receivers of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, viii arrive in
this city tomorrow forenoon.
J. G. Lewis, travelling passenger agent of the
Iron Mountain railway company, arrived in the
city to-day.

GOOD News Cor one PanhandIe.

Special to the Gazette.
WAsHsURN, Tex, April PA committee of
business men from Washburn returned from
Chicago a few days ago where they had a con-
ference with the Santa Fe people relative
to extending their line from Panhandle,
their present terminus to Washburn.
While your correspondent was unable tot secure
any definite information as to the success of
their trip, he could see that they were happy,
and had good reason to suppose that the deal
was about contaminated. We learn now from
the Santa Fe officials that the liberal
proposition of Washburn has been accepted and
that the tap road between Washburn and Pam
handle has been purchased of the Fort Worth
and Denver and the Santa Fe road will establish
through freight and passenger service be-
tween Washburn and Kansas City as soon
as the details be arranged and that first
class passenger trains with elegant Pullman
sleepers will be run between these two cities in
stead of the miserable bobtail, which the
Kansas have been kicking about so long.
This change speaks volumes for the Panhandle
country, the Santa Fe road and the town of
Washburn, and will add very materially to the
population and wealth of Washburn, and make
her what your correspondent has al
ways predicted, the Fort Worth of
the plains. The Santa Fe having
no improvements of permanent nature at Pan
handle and other division south of Kiowa
will make Washburn the end of the
passenger and freight division well as the
general Texas Office and will erect substantial
buildings that will be credit to the Panh andle
country, and be adequate to accommodate the
immense business that is in store for them.

CHICAGO WORKINGMEN.
Little Building Work in PrOgress-The Demand
for Eight Hours on May Will saI,}
be Universal. y

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 24.-Reports froniiVarious
parts OF the city show that building work OF
any Importance is being done. It is the opinion
of capitalists, as well as labor leaders that May
l will find Chicago in the midst of one of thu
greatest strikes ever experienced. The demand
for eight hours will be almost universal, while
employers in the different trades are all SEEM
ingly determined not to grant the demand. The
carpenters strike seems as far from a ternina-
ton on the day the men went out. The gas
filters and harness makers go out Monday. The
brickmakers are now out with no as
surance of speedy termination of their
strike, and these, with $4,000 stockyards
employees who are determined to get eight hours
quit makes total of about q 600 men who
will from present indications be striking on
May l. Should such a general movement be made
Vulnerable branches of labor and Industries
of less proportions will follow in the wake of
the great outbreak, and business in Chicago will
be all but paralyzed, while fully sc, 900 men will
be idle.
Considerable citation was felt at carpenters
headquarters this morning over the signal de-
feat of an attempt made by one of the con-
tractors to import workmen. Contractor George
Fuller brought seven men from Milwaukee last
night, but upon reaching this CITY they were
met by committee of strikers and straightway
Joined the union. This morning they claim that
session, and announced their determination to
demand that they be returned to them at once.
SOME SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 24.-Joseph Gruenput
who has long held prominent place among
socialistic labor agitators of this city, and who
is now tenement-house inspector and the
statistician of the health department. has COM
piled table of figures of the number of laboring
people in this city, who will either strike for
eight hours on the first of May or be made idle
by strikes on collateral industries on which
they depend. According to this table, the num-
Der of wage workers, male and female, who will
not be at work at the time reaches the surprising
aggregate of about 223, 600. This calculation
too, covers only the city as it was pre-
vious to last years annexation of the

statement will be apparent when 1t is stated the
town of Lake alone contains 35 900 people
directly affected by the strike now contem-
plated. The report shows the number of en-
ployes, male and female, who are affected by
the eight-hour movement to be as follows Fuel

without any possible advantage to either. The
posted rates from Chicago to Kansas City con-
tinue to be S., Denver and other Colnrado points
Sl2 so, San Francisco, Los Angeles, ETC., $40,
and even lower rates than these are actually
made by the use of commissions. In fact, the
scalping Offices advertise Sil so to Denver. San
Francisco papers report that tickets are being
sold from tina point to Chicago for S35 as the
result of alleged bad faith by one or more lines
IN dealing with scalpers. 1t is wrong state of
