The troubles between the Southern

were finally brought to an amicable
conclusion yesterday afternoon. The
schedules proposed by the company

ments that were satisfactory to both
parties. The schedule practically re-
mains as it was first offered, with, of
course, some notifications of the rules
in instances where It was pointed out
to Mr. Baldwin that the men thought
they should be changed. All of the OBJ
jections raised by the committee were
carefully gone over, and where it was
deemed advisable by the company they
were corrected and modified to suit the
exigencies of the case. In order that
the men might be aLle to lose no more
time then was absolutely necessary

the notifications of the rules was pre-
pared Immediately after the agreement

THE TRAIN ROBBERY.

When court opened yesterday morn
ing Mr.. W. S. Thomas resumed his
speech. He traced Morgan from
Amissville to Front Royal, where he
was identified by three witnesses,
dwelling upon the fact that one Of
these witnesses had described Morgan
previous to his arrest; that the agent
at Shenandoah junction had sold a
railroad ticket for Cumberland to Nor
gan and one for Cincinnati to Searcey,
which had subsequently been present
ed by Morgan, and he was identified
with this ticket by Capt. Peters as be-
ing OIL his train. bound for that place,
thus showing the criminal determine
ton between these men, as the police
would be looking in Cincinnati for the
tall man, Searcey, whom Morgan had
left at Cumberland, and would be look
ing for the short man, Morgan. at Cum
berland, where Searcey had travelled
on Morgan's ticket. Col. Shay was ac-
cused of taking advantage of his posi-
ton as an attorney by maliciously at
lacking witnesses whose cross-exami-
nation showed them to be honorable
and respected; of attaching the Adams
Express Company, whose money bad
been lawfully accumulated, and whose
members included the representative
people of the county; and, as he had
endeavored to thus place in false
position every person connected
with the case, it could be ex-
pected in his presentation of Nor.
CANS case to the jury he would
continue that Misrepresentation. Mr..
Thomas further showed the improba-
bility of Morgan being innocent by his
conduct when captured at Cincinnati.
He had with him the clothes purchas-
ed at Front Royal with the money
stolen from the Adams Express Com
pany. he gave his occupation as o
crap shooter and gambler. He had
the money concealed in the lap of his
undershirt, and near the place where
be was found was also the pistol he
used the night of the robbery. Beside
this, the evidence of the Common.
wealth was uncontradicted, and consti-
tuted chain of evidence through
which it was impossible to break.
Senator Little, for the defense, at
tackled Mr.. Thomas for defaming Mr..
Triplett, an estimable resident of Rap
pahannock county. He claimed all the
witnesses who testified for the COM
monwealth were paid hirelings of the
Adams Express Company and had
been coached by the Pinkerton detec-
tive. He then claimed that under the
instruction of the court, Morgan should
be acquitted, because some of the evil
dence tended to show there were more
than two robbers implicated in the
crime. Mr.. Little consumed about
three hours in his speech.

to provide for the erection OF a large
penitentiary and lunatic asylum equal
" as commodious, its republican mem
beers to be sent to the former and their

But that there should be still larger
one for the accommodation OF the

strated by the fact that the House of
Representatives, without even
division, has just passed bill provid-
ing for the compulsory arbitration of
differences between employers and
their employees, as though it were
possible, in free and equal country,
either to force men to work, or to com
pei employers to carry on operations
