STRIKERS SUBMIT.
The Mill Hands of Rhode Island Ac-
cept Terms Once Rejected.

Providence, r. l.. Dec. 19.-The big
strike at Olneyville, the one at Central
Falls, which was allied with the one at
Olneyville, and an incipient one under
taken at the British Hosiery Works, in
Thornton, near Olneyville, all collapsed
yesterday.
The strike at Olneyville involved 5000
people, the one at Central Falls 400 people
and that at Thornton 300
The strike in Olneyville lasted ten
weeks aud the people have suffered great
privations during the past five weeks,
many of them being without food, fuel,
clothing and money. The Olneyville
strikers have gained concessions from
the manufacturers, amounting 10 q
615 per cent rebate from the original cut
Of more than 20 per cent These conces-
sions were made two weeks ago, but were
refused as insufficient, the strikers hoping
to gain more. The conditions of trade
offered no hope Of the manufacturers get
ting orders to force them To make greater
concessions, and the dull business among
the workers elsewhere who might have
been depended on for financial aid 10
them, and the depletion of their own
treasury, foSced the strikers TO submit to
terms thew refused fortnight ago

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 19.--The city
council of Jacksonville this evening
passed, with only three opposing votes,
the ORDINANCE permitting glove contests

for the contest between Corbett and Nit

hands of.
Governor Mitchell is keeping as silent
as the sphinx at present and no one can
guess what he intends to do. The gem

any charges or allegations upon which
such decision granting such pension shall

The amended resolution was then
agreed TO by a vote of 123 to 46.
THE TARIFF BILL REPORTED.
Pending discussion of an item for the
mileage of the House, the committee rose
informally, and, the speaker having re-
sumed the chair, MIR. Wilson, of West
Virginia, from the committee on ways
and means, reported the tariff bill: "A
bill to reduce taxation, to provide revenue
for the government, and for other pur-
poses," and moved that it be printed and
referred to the committee of the whole on
the state of the union.
Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, on the part
OF the minority, asked time to file the
views of the minority,
Mr.. Wilson was inclined to put short
limit upon the time given to the minor
ity, but the speaker stated that the min
GRITTY would file its views as soon as posi-
BILE, and in the mean time, the bill would
be referred to committee of the whole.
THE DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED.
The consideration of the deficiency bill
was resumed. An amendment allowing a
months extra pay to all the officers and
employees of both houses, at the close of
the last session, was agreed to by vote
of 1879 to As
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House.
Separate votes were then demanded on
various amendments, including those as
TO pensions, as to mileage aud as TO an
extra months pay for employees. The
mileage amendment allows mileage to
members for the recent extra session in
addition to that for the regular session,
and Mr.. Holman and a few others fought
it strenuously by filibustering.
While all this was going on the COM
mittee on rules had quietly repaired to its
committee room and when they made
their appearance in the House there was a
sudden outbreak of triumph on both sides
Mr.. Catchings was recognized by the
speaker pro tenn and reported a resolution
that the vote shall be taken Immediately
on the pending amendments and on the
bill. The resolution was agreed to in
spite of 8some further futile resistance by
Mr.. Bland, who found himself restricted
TO one single dilatory motion-that the
House do now adjourn.
The reserved amendments were then
agreed to and the bill passed.
The House then, at 500 o'clock, ad-
jOurned until tomorrow.

in SQuabble.

Washington, Dec. 19-The bank-
ing and currency committee got into a
squabble to-day over the form of the bill
they should report repeating the 10 per
cent. tax on state banks. Representa-
tive Culberson, of Texas, led the fight in
favor of a bill Internationally repeating
this tax. Representative Springer and
several others wanted to report bill

the committee got into a snarl, and when
the vote was taken it stood six and
six, one unconditional repeal democrat
being absent. This prevented a report.
Mr.. Springer, however, says that he has
no disposition to keep the matter away
from the House, and at the next meeting
of the committee he is perfectly willing
to agree to a report AS the tariff bill
was reported to the House to-day at last,
and as it will be taken up for discussion
Immediately after the holiday recess, the
bank bill cannot be considered by the
House until after the tariff bill is dis
posed of, which will be about Feb /.

SWANS IMPRISONMENT.
He VIII Probably Escape With Three
Months in Jail.

Charleston, S. c., Dec. &c b. Swan,
the whisky spy who is to go to Jail under
the orders Of the United States supreme
court for interfering with goods in pos
session of the South Carol ina railroad, is
still at liberty. He reports daily to the
United States marshal, and remains In
the city. The court officials are await
ing the arrival of the official papers from
Washington, which are expected daily.
Swan has made himself very obnoxious
by the insolent and overbearing way in
which he has discharged his duties as
dispensary spy, ami he has very little
sympathy. His sentence is to be
imprisoned, first until the liquor which
he seized is restored to the railroad COM
pany and then for three months, and then
until all the costs in the case are paid. 1t
is supposed that Gov. Tillman, as Swan
is a special pet, will help him out TO the
extent OF releasing the goods and paying
the costs. In this event the imprison-
ment will be but for three months, other
wise Swans Imprisonment will be in

Four More Bullets Fired Into the VIC
tim After He Was Killed.

The Cold Blooded Robbers Determined
to Make Sure of Their Work-No
One on the Train Aware Of the Crime
Until a Station Was Reached-No
Clew to the Identity of the Murder
ers.
New Orleans, Dec. 19-Train No 10 on
the Southern Pacific arrived here at noon
to-day. 1t left Houston, Tex, last night
at 10 o'clock. Between Houston and Day-
ton robbers entered the express car and

declined to say how much was taken.

while he was seated at his desk the bull
let making q large hole in the back of his
head When discovered his body was w.
ing on the floor of the car at the side of
the chair which he always occupied The
robbers had turned his body over and
fired four more shots into it in order TO
make sure of their work. The train was
running at high rate of speed. and Rich
ardeon being alone, not soul heard the
report of the pistols.
TWO SAFES IN THE CAR.
Two safes were in the car, small one,
which locks with a key, and a large COM
bination safe carrying valuable packages
and money The combination of this safe
was telegraphed to New Orleans and il
was opened by the Wells Fargo people
upon the arrival of the train this after
noon, AS far as can be learned, the COM
tents of this safe were untouched. 1t
would have been necessary to use dyna-
mite TO open IT.. The robbers, however,
had no difficulty in breaking the lock of
the smaller safe, and they took all they
could They left several packages Of
silver untouched.

When the train reached Liberty the
porter of the Pullman coach noticed that
the express messenger did not come out as
was his custom The porter went to the
door of the car and found Richardson ly-
ing dead in a pool of blood. The train
men were called, and hasty examination
Of the train was made in order to ascer-
tain If any of the robbers were aboard.
The only person TO whom suspicion at
tached was a negro, but he gave
straight account of himself, and was re-
leased from CUSTODY

Richardson resided in New Orleans
and his body will be brought here to-mor-
row for iuterment.
The trainmen are unable to say at what
point the murderers escaped. The en-
gineer had seen two negroes on the blind
baggage, but believed that they were
tramps stealing ride and paid no atten-
zion 10 them. The trainmen do not be.
lieve the act was committed by negroes.

DEMOCRATS SURPRISED.
They Think the Ambassador to Ital
Should Be Democrat.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The nomination
of Wayne MacVeagh, as minister to Italy,
was received with great surprise by dem
ocrats here to-day. They think that Mr..
Cleveland did sufficient in the selection of
Mr.. Gresham from the new republican
converts TO democracy for Secretary of
State, and that he was not called upon to
select Mr.. MacVeagh, who was Presi-
dent Garfield's Attorney General, TO rep
resent the government as minister to
Italy, place which thousands of good
democrats would have been glad to have.
However, they are not disposed TO kick.
Mr.. Cleveland had perfect right to do it
and it may be good politics, though many
democrats do not think so.
