| So far everything is quiet on tn


Central road. No indications OF


strike are to be found, and We sin


eereiy hope there will be none.
Yesterday afternoon rumor wa


afioat that the depot buildings q. For
Worth were on fire and the flame


were extending TO adjacent buildings
The rumor was started by a saddle


from that place. who came to Mr.


Morrow's place Of business, on Elm


street, and read to him, la presence o


others, what purported TO be Telegram


from Fort Worth TO that effect. Mr.


Morrow having at once teiegraphec


over there for details, our reporter


made Inquiries OF the railroad official.


who assured him there was not a par.
tiele of truth in the whole affair.


THE HERALD cannot but reiterate
the sentiments expressed yesterday re-
garding the action of the Texas and
Pacific men. so far their conduct
has been marked by the sirictest deco
rum ami general good behavior,
which promises that il will be con-
tinued. The men have made an issue
with their company and are quietly at
work trying TO reach an understand
ing by holding = convention and ao-
pointing their representatives. That
they have made . proposition to the
company there can be no doubt, but
what the proposition is exactly, we
have not yet learned. We sincerely
nope, however, that an amicable sr.
rangemeat will be effected at once.


As far as this section OF the country
Is concerned there is not the slightest
indication of any trouble more serious
than the stoppage of the trains for a
few days. No disposition to interfere
with anybody or anything outside OF
the company, has been shown by the
men.


THE TRAIN FROM THE WEST.


Last night, at AN early hour, large
crowd of railroad men gathered at the
union depot, waiting fs: the train from
Fort Worth. On its arrival our re-
porter interviewed q freight agent,
who said that every ything was quiet in
that burg. There is a prospects of an ice
famine at the Queen OF the Prairies.
The merchants are anxious about
heir freight on the road. There is
talking among the rail-
road men there, but all is quiet and
peaceable.


When the train reached the union
iepot the railroad men who had gath
ered there, boarded 1t and started to
DIN their brethren in MarshalI. Mat
seFs about the depot are very quiet.
The mayor has posted numerous
at the different depots to
zee that no property il interfered " ith
by outside parties. The railroad men
have repeatedly told the marshal tina,
hey would willingly lend their assist
ince In case anything should happen,
,nd he might depend upon them to
protect property. They do not wish
% have anything occur which will re-
iect upon them in the least, as their
issue is only with the company.


THE TRAIN PROM THE EAST
was as auxiously waited for last night
As the night before. II came in "A lit
lie behind time, and was well filed
win passengers. Our reporter hunted
Up Conductor Alvord, who seid that
everything was quiet in Marshall.
The men were orderly and no drink.
ing was done. They held meeting
but no proposition had been made
20 the company, as the men were
awaiting the return of Colonel Noble
and Messrs. Bond and Brown, vic
4 relative of Colonel No
ole had died wife's daughter, we
we're insormed-and day before yester-
lay permission was asked to send No
ole's car to him at St. Loais, which
.he railroad men granted. 1t is
thought Noble will arrive there to-
night.


by another party We were told
hat young Scott had received or
tiers not to entertain any propositions
intil the return of the officers. All
rains are Gu. of. excepting the regu-
ar mail trains, and it is thought that
even these viii be stopped, excepting
he engine and postal ear. This is the
situation up to our going to press, so
far hs the Texas and Pacific il concern
ed, and We will have TO await the re-
salt with patience.
