THE PLAN OF THE sTRIKE.
Con our decIination. the strikers held Q meet
ing on July "a at Waverly. What occurred
there may be cleaned from this chapter Of tho
proceedings: The worthy master says that the
present occasion should be good one to decide
how the strike would be conducted. McNamara
says he was in favor Of using force should IL
become necessary to do SO. That his plan
would be to run cars Of the track, 60 through
the yard, knock holes into engine tanks, cut
hose, &C., SO a. to disable engines. Murray,
Smith and others spoke against too much
violence; agreed, however, that Q little would
be q good thing
"McNamara further said that tho plan Of
the strike was to have q man named Gross
big, reckless fellow from Buffalo-and one or
two others from there to take charge Of this
end. he strike would be declared at mid
night. Tho Buffalo men had given their word
that all arrangements had been made to run OF
the track and wreck freight and coal cars enough
from II o'clock midnigh. up to q .. m. to block
up the whole road for week, a. the yard was
full Of cars. He CMcNaInara) thought there
should be something done at this end of the
line SO that no cars should be sent over the Erie
road or the Delaware ,Lackawanna and Western.
They had the assurance of the other nix roads
running into Buffalo that they would not han
die q car Of the Philadelphia and Reading. and
the Erie had the same question Of wages before
by the Philadelphia and Reading switchmen.
Sweeney eaid he did not expect to got the
advance without short struggle, but was conA-
dent Of winning. Sweeney promised them that
they would receive their wages OF sink the
organization.

HARD TO KILL.
Negrs Crank Gets Bullet Through
His Head.

BRISTOL, Tenn April ga dis
patch from Peers Ferry, Va, has
been received, saying that yesterday af-
ternoon Jack Austin, a negro, weNt to
to the house of 7. G, M. King, white
man Of that place, and calling him to
the door told him he had come there
after girl. King asked him "what
girl?" Austin replied, 81 came after
your daughter, | want her for wife,?
King presented a musket loaded
with slugs at Austin, who started to
run just as King fired. One OF the
slugs stru1k Austin near the temple
and came out above the center of the
forehead. Thus did not seem to excite
the negro, who went to a stream near
by and washed his head. He then
walked up and down the railroad lit
tie while, and then went off up the
road. He was at Gate City this morn
ing and seems to be insane.

WHITE CAPS.
Jefferson County Has an Organized
Band of Them.

DANDRIDGE, Tenn, April 27.-The
White Caps that whipped jenkins
Satur lay night first surrounded Will
liam Simpsons (colofed) house, near
DR.. Jenkins thinking it was Jenkins
house. They soon discovered their
mistake, but captured Simpson and
took him along to show them the way
and to witness the whipping.
Jenkins shot one of them in the arm,
but he is not seriously hurt, and Simp-
son says he was bleeding considerably
but not complaining.
Twenty-three of them crossed the
French Broad river yesterday morning
just before day-break at Douglass Fer
sy, about ten miles below here, and the
wounded man was still bleeding.
Mr.. Simpson said there were sixty in
all, and the excitement was about sub
sided. DR.. Jenkins is much better to-
day. He has but one slight wound in
the face by a shot gun, but about nine
small shot hit him and about fifty on
his back by the lash. Taey told him to
leave by next Saturday or they would
pay him another visit Mr., Simpson
is afraid to tell all he knows, and says
they are all frst-class gentlemen in
every respect.

The Il. T., V. & G. to Have Quite a
Formidable Competitor.

A competing railway line between
Knoxville and Cincinnati, This is
what we are to have after the 9th OF
next month.
On that day line OF Pullman sleep
ers will be put on by the Knoxville,
Cumberland Gap and Louisville and
the Louisville and Nashville roads, to
run between the queen cities OF the
south and west
Under the schedule that will then be
put in force, trains will leave Knoxville
at y. m. and, going by way Of Cum
berland Gap, and over the Kentucky
Central road, will arrive at Cincinnati
at 7 20 the next morning. There will
be only thirty minutes difference in
the time between Knoxville and C'n-
cinnati between the present route and
the new one. Trains will leave Gin
cinanti with the Pullman sleepers al
7:30 .. m. and arrive at Knoxville at
a. m. next morning. Passengers go
ing east, on into the Carolinas, vii
be transferred at Corryton for Morris
town.
With so little difference in the time
this will make competing line II

POSTMASTER ARRESTED.
Charged With Working Bogus
Money Order Scheme.

MACON, GA, April 27.--Joha B. Rob-
erts, postmaster at Sandersville, Ga,
WIS today carried before United States
Commissioner Erwin and bound over
to answer charge of irregularities in
his office. Roberts has always been
regarded as very shrewd young man,
but his shrewdness is OF kind that
the Government doesn't fancy.
A package of stamps stolen from an
express wagon in Atlanta gave clue
to Roberts methods Of increasing the
receipts OF his Office. He was in the
habit Of selling stamps all over the
State. He also, it is charged, worked
the money order department for fees
through bogus orders on person who
had no exiscance.

FINED FIFTY DOLLARS.
To Work COnVicts In Nashville will be
Very Costly.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 27-J. f..
Goodwin was fined fifty dollars yester-
day by Judge Bell for working convicts
on a city contract in violation OF the
law. There is much indignation in la
Dor circles over the West End sewer
matter. This contract for thirty-six
thousand dollars was let to Mr.. Good
win because he was the lowest bidder
Every effort was made to have the
board of public works not to consider
his bid. When these efforts failed the
city council passed law imposing
fine of fifty dollars for every day that
convicts were worked on city con-
tracts. The board of public works re-
fused to enforce the law on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. Judge
Bell then issued a warrant for Good
wins arrest and this Chief Clack did
not serve until he took legal advice as
to whether or not he should serve it.
Goodwin was arrested aud fined fifty
dollars. From this decision he ap.
pe'led.
The Central labor union has adopt
ed resolutions denouncing two mem
bers of the board of public works who
voted the contract to Goodwin and de-
manding their resignation.

Easter Services.

On Sunday evening, the 24Lh inst,
the Rev. S. Rnggold, d. d, Dean OF
Convocation, delivered a most eloquent
sermon at the Episcopal church in
Carnegie Hotel Building. Notwith
standing the unpleasant weather the
room was filled to its utmost capacity
by an attentive and appreciative con-
gregation. This being the octave OF
Easter the learned Divine appropri-
ately selected the subject of the Resur-
rection, preaching from St Paul's well
known and striking discourse on this
great subject, in the 9th chapter of his
Epistle to the Corinthians. The Dean
proved himself thorough master both
of theology and rhetoric and delighted
his hearers with one of the greatest in
tellectual treats it has been our privi-
lege to enjoy.
DR.. Ringgold, having spent the
morning with the officers and mem
bers Of the new parish, now being
formed in Johnson City, left yestesday
for other towns included in the work
under his charge We are glad t.
know that he proposes TO repeat his
visit at an early date, and assure HIN
a hearty welcome.
