that he fully appreciates the situation
here and that the law must be enforced
and all parties violating It arrested lie

trains will be moved and the road will be

Information that there was' a box of
dynamite cartridges hidden near the
union depot it was taken possession
of and brought Into the city. The box
was about three quarters full a number
of tbe cartridges having keen taken out.
Tbe discovery has created considerable
alarm and people do not now know
won to expect.
This morning Captain Schmidt's Stale
rangers reached the city and aro now at
the depot.
The condition of the wounded men
who were shot In the tight uu Saturday
continues to Improve. Charley Snerd Is

recovery Is only a matter of time. The
wounded striker. Tom Nate Is alro
better than lie was yesterday and the
chances for bis reeovery are good.
No positive proof lias yet neen on-
talned as to whether or not Frank
Pierce the one-armed man who tluuu-d
so conspicuously In Saturday's tight Is
dead. It la known definitely that he
was badly wounded and tbe general Im-
pression Is that he waa the man so mys-
teriously burled early Sunday morning
from the house of a Knight of Labor In
tba suburbs of the city.
Yesterday Messrs. P. W. Farrell M.
N.Gambrell E. Pearson S. K. Flnley
and W.J. Burke all prominent Knights
of Labor from Galveston arrived In ibis
city and were In consultation with the
local lodges last night. These gentle-
men all belong to the Powderly wing of
the order and do not endorso the strike.
Martin Irons was In this city on the
night or tbe Gib of March and attempt! d
to consolidate the live districts 101 17
10 03 and 78 and bring within the strike
live northwestern states. Tbe work
was prevented by such men as Flnley of
Galveston who belongs to Assembly 73.
District Master Workman l.ovln of
District Assembly 101 Knlghta of Labor
was arrested bete to-night on a charge
of being accessory to the murder of Offi-
cer Dick Townscnd on Saturday. Offi-
cers Townsend and Sneed two of the
men shot Saturday are Knights of Labor.
Fort Worth Typographical Union No.
109 has adopted the following resolu-
tion: That we deeply sympathize with tbe
strikers on tbe Gould Southwestern sys-
tem in tbelr great struggle with tyran-
nical bigots and detestable scabs believ-
ing that tbey are asking nothing more
than Justice; and further pledge our
moral and financial support to said
strikers until their oblecta are ealned.
Governor Ireland oilers a reward of
$500 for tbe arrest of Hardin tbe leader
or tne amnnsnera in saiuruay s ngm
which amount Is supplemented by a re-
ward or $500 oflered by tbe railway com-
pany. St. Louis April 4. Hays the third
member or the General Executive Com-
mittee of Knights of Labor arrived here

General Committee went Into secret ses-
sion with the Local Committees. Tbey
irave the situation verv full and exhaus
tive dlsousslon weighing all the facta
ana giving an points careiui cousiuern
tlon. The meetlnir lasted until mid
night when tbe following wa given out
In the form of a atatement to tbe nubile:
At tbe conference held In New York
with Jay Gould and associates and the
General Executive Hoard tbe following
was mutually agreed upon: i bat tne
ofllclals were willing to meet a commit-
tee of their emrtloves without dl8crlmln
atlon. who are actnallr In tbe employ
of tbe company at the time such com
mittee is appointed to aujusi wiiu ineiu
any grievance they may have. The
Executive Board unon arriving In St.
1.0U1B. navinc oeen lniormeu iiihi
Hoxle had refused to comply with the
agreement aa all the parties to tne co
ference understood it: waited unon hi
to ascertain his Intentions of cnrrylng
out the same and received the following
reply. "That only 00 per cent or tne
former lorce wouiu ue re-erapioyeu anu
tnat ne wouiu consider persoaai applica-
tions onlv uuon his own pleasure and
act upon them without tbe dictation of
any aocieiy." auis ueing in uireci vio-
lation of tbe agreement the General
Board believe that the refusal la for the
purpose or stock J ebbing using the or-
ganization as a veil to further their ends
We. therefore recall the order given
tne men to return to work tne roau uav
ing made It Impossible to enforce tbe
same. Tbe matter now atanda aa It did
before the order to resume work and the
General Board will render all assistance
to carry out tbe demands of the men for
justice.
"neaniiciDaie no especial aemonsira1
tion to-morrow" said sir. l'urner to a
reporter "and no particular change In
tne aspect oi auairs. inings are simpiy
aa tbey were before."
Tbe Executive Committee has been
In Informal session to-day but nothing
of publlo Interest was done. Secretary
Turner Bays the whole matter now rests
In the hands of Dlstrlot Assemblies 101
03 and 17 and that they will hereafter
conduct the strike. There Is talk that
more meu are ordered out by both 03
and 17 but that la not definitely decided
upon. District S3 covera the Wabash
and 17 is local embracing simply at
Louis and East St. Louis.
The resolution by tbe Executive Com
mlttee of their order to Knights of La-
bor to return to work had no effect on
the business of tbe Missouri Pacific or
Iron Mountain railways other than mak-
ing It necessary for the officials of those
roads to procure new men for plaeea
made vacant bv strikers. The Iron
Mountain sent out five freight trains
this morning and the Missouri Pacino an
eqnal number. No opposition waa of-
fered by the strikers. The resumption
of freight traffic on these roads may now
be considered complete and the raising
of the blockade on the company's busi-
ness permanent.

Mr Stevea Addresses the
Council Etc Eta
Tbe regular session of the City Coun-
cil was held yesterday afternoon a full
board being present. The minutes of
the last meeting and the special mealing
were read and approved after amend-
ments. Ills Honor then read the various
petitions which were before him. The
only one that brought rorth any discus-
sion was the petition of the Democratic)
Executive Committee praying Ibat the
city erect a hall C0x90 feet at San Pedro
Park In order that ample accommoda-
tion might be afforded for tbe Demo-
cratic State Convention when it met
here the cost of the erection being about
$3000 $1000 of which being efltred by
the lessee of the park and street railway
cuuipany.
French declared he thought that In a
matter or this kind tbe public should be
called upon to do It; It was unususl for
the city to do It and be could see no war-
rant or law countenancing any such
proceeding.
Uambleton blandly moved that tbe
appropriation be made but It was lost
anil tbe petition was referred to the
tender mercies or tbe Committee on
I'arka and Publlo Buildings.
A petition from Officer Brown asking
for the remission of a fine Imposed by
Police Committee waa laid ever until
tbe report of the Committee waa heard.
The report or the Board of Health was
read and approved. This body recom-
mended the removal of the pest-house
and the erection or a morgue. A special
committee to carry this suggestion out
was oruereu ana appointed
The reports or conmltteea ware then
read. Alderman French Chairman or
the Petitions and Ordinances Commit-
tee reported on the application of
Messrs Humblrd Newcomb and Glfford
for the right-of-way and use of streets to
lay gas mains.
rrencn read tne opinion or the city
Attorney who stated that be did not
tblnk there was anything to preclude
another gas company from operating
and tbe committee recommended that
the petition bo granted and the neces-
sary ordinance to be drafted by the City
Attorney.
Schrelner was seized with a spasm ol
Incertitude and mentioned tbe fact tbat
tbe present charter waa for B0 years.
French Informed the gentleman that
tbe existing charter did not prevent the
new company from laying pipes to
which Ills Honor ejaculated : 'Still tbe
uy wouia not take any oi ineir gas.-'
"That remains to be seen." resnonded
Alderman French with hlsgrandisoman
bow.
The report was adopted.
A report was also received from the
same committee relative to tbe petition
to remove peddlers' stands from the
plazas.
This waa referred to tbe Mayor to reg-
ulate the affair the committee deeming
ii wouiu do an injustice to remove tnera.
i ne uouncu aaoptea tne report.
Tbe Streets and Bridges Committee
Lockwood Chairman) recommended
hat the lines at the corner of West
Commerce and lona streets made bv
the City Engineer be received and filed.
Adopted
a cuiveri arain was oraerea on soutn
Laredo street at a cost of $30 and tbe
report or the Cltv Engineer on St. Marv'a
street waa referred to the Special Im-
provement Committee.
uonsiueraoie oiscussion ensued over
tbe report of the Police Committee who
stated that Officer Brown bad been
found guilty of a flagrant violation of
the law by removing his property line
anu is was recommeaueu mat ne oe
uneu one monm a pay $iu.
rrencn questionea tne authority "lie
nas not vioiaieu anv nonce rearuiaiions.'
said tbe Alderman.
The Mayer Anv officer who violates
nia uuiy la amenaoie to ine rouce com
mlttee.
French If be does that he la not Ut to
be aa officer.
The Mayor The Committee thought
that the deduction of one month's salary
would ha auffiolenr.
Bergstroaa Did not the Cltv Enirlneer
give mm ine liner
ine mayor six years ago tney agreed
npon a line and he built a fence on It.
The present City Engineer Bays "that
your line should be here" and he moved
nis fence eany in tne morning.
Berarstrom If the Cltv Enirlneer e-av
him the line I don't see why be should
not take It. I don't see what It has to
do here at all.
Gallagher It does not seem to me that
this Is the proper tribunal to try this
cue at all. I understand this line was
given to Brown 23 yeara ago. I alao un
derstand that tbe line to which he
moved waa given him by the present
City Engineer. Brown I am told Is
able to prove tbat he did not remove
mar lenoe at an unreasonable hour.
Did Ollloer Brown have anv witnesses In
regard to tbe time of the removal of bis
ience r
Smye I will state that Brown waa not
very anxloua to bave witnesses. There
nas neen sworn testimony which snows
mat it was using removed at a o'ciook
In the morning. It also came out In evi
dence tbat the line bad been agreed
UDon.ana mere was a aeeiaea acknowl
edgment on bis part from the fact that
he cut down a portion of his building
and conformed to that line subse
quently another survey waa made and
hla line given but possession waa not.
then the officer takes tbe law Into hla
own bands and at night removes the
fenoe cutting off a portion or his neigh-
bor's bouse and the water supply. The
committee did not tblnk the officer Jus
tified In taking tbe law Into his own
hands.
Hambleton The Alderman did not
seem to take Into -consideration the fact
that the officer himself admitted that he
agreed several years ago with the part
owning tbe adjacent property tbat thf
line should bs agreed on and that ought
to settle the difference that might arise
oeiween me parties upon mat agree-
ment. I do not aee anv extenuating- clr
cumstancss that wouldrclease tbat man
from a direct violation of the law and as
he Is an officer be should be punished
Gallagher My point Is this that we
have net tbe power to tine an oncer of
mis city lor a civil onense. x uiu not
know we bad got that high yet. 1 bave
not found It out. 1 don't think tbls
Council can fine OOloer Brown for that
