THE STRIKE STILL ON.
No Prospects of an Immediate Settlement
of the Question.

of the Question.
There was nothing new yesterday con-
corning the packing house strike. Work is
going on at the packing house, though by
no means full force is employed. Work
in the killing room was being carried along
briskly, and the new men seemed to be
catching on. 1t is understood q large
force will be put to work to-day.
At meeting of the striking employees
held at the knights Of Labor hall yesterday
at 1880 in the forenoon, a committee was
appointed consisting of John Hughes and
George Altman, both foremen1in the house,
to select an additional committee of three
from the butchers of Fort Worth who were
sympathiZePs in the movement, and who
would go before the stock holders and man
ayers of the Fort Worth packing company
to present the grievances of the strikers
with view to their amicable adiustmen
The outside parties appointed were Messrs.
H Langhurst, Tom Coils and j. Brooks.
Together with the two already mentioned
as representing the strikers, they met the
stockholders and managers of the packery.
but were told that it would be useless to adj
vance anything tending to a rein
statement of the men blacklisted,
and that they positively decline TO treat
with the strikers. A meeting is called at
$3.50 a. n. to-day, and it is expected that
decisive action of some kind will be taken,
as the different labor organizations have
not only commended the action of the
strikers, but guarantees to uphold them in
all moves tending to the advancement Of
their cause.
A GAZETTE reporter visited the packing
house and met Col. Hoxie, who invited him
to go over the establishment. He said
1--WE are getting rapidly in shape, not
withstanding this little temporary embar-
rassment. and in day or two will be run
ming along as smoothly as ever. OF course,
the men have to be taught, but they
are learning with a rapidity that is
surprising. Those you see doingi the kill
ing, scraping, ETC., have only been at it
since yesterday at l o'clock. Tomorrow
morning at O'Clock full force will be put
to work in the different departments and
taught their business"
'EWill you re-employ any of the strikers?"
''No. We shall have no further regotia-
tons with them, but will go
ahead and conduct the packery
without their assistance. Some of the
men who are Texans and who have been
forced out by the other strikers, will in a
little while be taken back if they desire 1t.
The packery is q Texas institution, and
after this will be run by employees who are
Texans and for Texas. p"

The silver Caucus.

It is certain that at the caucus Friday
night the question of silver legislation will
be the chief topic The advocates of the
measure are determined not to have its
consideration STAYED of much longer. They
point to the fact that two months have
three bills have become laws.
They are growing restless and
will not brook much longer delay. The fact
that cotton reached q lower point in New
York to-day than at most any time in cen
tury, wheat also dropping to S914, and sill
yer to 90lI in the same market, was pointed
out by the silver men as showing how
those great farm products were
in sympathy with the white metal and how
the farmers were at the mercy Of adverse
markets, so long as silver was treated as
of secondary Importance. Endow it with
the same functions as gold and with the in
creased value cotton and wheat would
take an immediate upward tendency.
The next few days will show
whether Speaker Crisp is q sincere friend
of silver or only a pretended one. If he
does not fully and squarely meet the issue
by giving Hatch and his silver coadiutors
a fair showing there will be a howl of in
dignation that will reverberate III every
quarter of the land.
Harter of Ohio, who was the leading
spirit circulating the call to-day, said Il
decided not to push the silver caucus tor
the reason Democratic opinion is
changing very rapidly, not only
upon the wisdom of passing silver bill,
but upon the merits of the question. While
last Thursday nine out of ten men would
have predicted free silver bill would pass
the house to-day it is the opinion no bill for
free and unlimited coinage of silver
will pass the senate. Leading German
papers in the United States have served no
tice upon US that the German vote in body
will leave US on that issue and go to
the Republicans altogether The question
presents dangers not before considered,
and from this time on the active opposition
of Democratic newspapers will probably

prosperity of this country-Texas and the
great west-and in that connection

decide the question. 1t was evident from
the beginning that no question of failure
was considered or felt. The amount re-

that the president was compelled to call

SHELBYvlLLE, SHELBY COUNTY, TEX,
Feb. 2.-One of the most horrible crimes
was committed last Thursday night in this
county ever known in It's history. The
facts in the case as told by the LADY at
whose house he stayed who lives between
Center and Timpson, Shelby county, are as
follows: There was q young
man living with the old lady
by the name of Joe Shields Last Thurs
day night young Shields returned home
about O'Clock, put his saddle or the gal
lery and went to the lot to put up his mule
The old lady heard him calling to her,
and ran out, thinking the mule had
hurt him. When she got there she
found him struggling with four or
five men, and the men were dragging him
of. She followed them some distance into
the woods until one OF the men, whom she
recognized, turned on her and threatened to
kill her if she followed any further. She
went back and gave the alarm to neigbbors
but could get no one to go TO the rescue and
next morning they sent TO TimpSon and n
searching party came out, took the trail
and followed it about 300 yards when they
found Shields hanging TO a limb The
body was horribly cut and the
skull crushed in several places. The old
lady told the party that she knew two of
the men, white man and negro The
negro was arrested Immediately and another
negro with him; both had blood on their
clothes, and one of them had Shields watch
chain on. Sheriff Spradiy of Nacogdoches
was telegraphed to for bloodhounds. and
they trailed up two other parties. There
are now Ave parties in Jail charged with the
crime, three white men and two negroes.
The examining trial Is set for next Friday
There is fear of lynching the accused, and
the jail is guarded, as is also the old lady,
Pinson, who is protected'by guards for fear
of foul work to keep her out of court
The trouble between the men and Shields
was caused by them having a fight two
weeks previous to the hanging of Shields,
in which Shields got the best of it.

for ON Good security.
The question as to whether or not there
is plenty of money to be had from the banks
of the city is one often asked of late, there
seeming 10 be some doubt as to whether or
not they had resumed the lending of money.
During the past seven months the banks
suspended all loans on any condition except
to their regular customers, but now any
one can borrow amounts, large or small, if
the proper security is furnished. A GA
ZETTE reporter visited all the banks yester-
day, and the officers of each said that more
ready money was on hand now than for q
number of years.
Max Elser, cashier of the City national,
said that his bank had plenty Of money to
lend on good security.
John c. Harrison of the State national
said that that institution would take care of
all good paper that was offered.
K. NJ. Van Zandt, president of the Fort
Worth national, said that money could be
had in abundance from that bank, always
providing the one wishing to borrow
brought along the necessary security.
E. B. Harold of the First national said
they would furnish most any amount, if
the collateral was forthcoming.
At the Traders bank it was also found
that money could be had in large or small
quantities when good security Is furnished.
