IN hENF.UAI,.
Tombstone, A. T., March 21.—Nows
of the surrender of (Jeronimo to Lieut.
Maus was brought here today by a solilier
who has been under Lieut. Wneelcr
at Mud Springs. The circumstances of
the surrender are as follows: Thursday
afternoon, about ten miles south of San
Bernardino, the Apache camp was attacked
by Mexican forces. A hot skirmish
followed, during which two Apaches
were killed and the forces of Gernimo
completely routed. Geronimo and his
band fled in lhe direction of Lieut. Maus’
camp for safety, and there made an unconditional
surrender.
Kansas City, March 22.—At 9 o'clock
this morning a general sounding of locomotive
whistles signalled the inauguration
of another strike. At that hour the
union switchmen in every railroad yard
in the city, in freight business, generally
stopped. The Chicago artel Alton railway
made up a train by the help of nonunion
men and sent it out, but the
strikers are said to have boarded and
stopped it at the eastern city limits. The
Wabash is working a small force, sufficient
the officials say, to handle city
freight, and being under protection of
the federal court they have invoked the
protection of the United States marshals.
A mass meeting of strikers, will be held
at noon. A meeting of representatives of
all the roads is being held to consider
the situation. It is reported that most of
the packing houses will close tomorrow.
Plankington & Armour discharged a
fourth of their force today. The great
smelting works at Argentine will also be
compelled to shut down. A general
closing down will cutoff the daily income
of 4,000 men.
Marshall, March 21.—Matters remain
quiet in the strike situation. The
local committee of Knights of Labor received
a dispatch from Grand Master
Workman Powderly, but they will not
give the slightest intimation as to its contents,
or whether Mr. Powderly is coming
here. Mr. James Cash, one of the
Gouldsboro or New Orleans committee,
returned home last night. Mr. John J.
McGrath, the other member, remains
here for further consideratjpn of the
Hall matter. Mr. C. A. Hall says that he
is in the hands of the executive committee
of the Knights of Labor and subject
to their order; whatever they decide
he will abide by.
Topeka, Kan., March 22.—The Missouri
Pacific Railroad company filed,
Saturday, in the United States circuit
court for the district of Kansas, a bill in
equity against 300 strikers, charging them
and other late employes with having
formed a conspiracy to abandon the company’s
service, and assuming control of
its property and resisting .the performance
of service for the company, thus
preventing the railway company from
carrying on its business as a common
carrier; that the defendants are under orders
of a secret organization known as
the Knights of Labor, formed for the purpose,
among others, of dictating the reiations
of members to their employers.
The court issued an injunction, and orders
to place the company in the possession
of its property and restrain the
strikers from interfering* with the company’s
business. Federal power is thus
directly invoked. The measure is regarded
as a test, and is an important
move against the strikers.
Jackson, Miss., March 22.—A very
daring robbery is reported today from
Tchula Lake in Holmes county, Miss.
Three men boldly entered the residence
there of Mrs. Mary Sclilander, a widow,
and bound and gagged her as well as a
man who was on the premises. They
then put her to torture until she told
them where all her money was concealed.
They obtained $1300 from her and $100
from the man and started off with it. A
warning was given, and the marshal of
the neighboring town of Tchula, accompanied
by a posse, started in pursuit of
the thieves. They came up with two of
them in the woods near by, and a fight
ensued, in which one of the theives was
killed and the other mortally wounded,
and Mr. H. B. Jones, of Tchula, one of
the posse, badly injured. A third of the
money taken from Mrs. Schlander was
found in the pockets of the dead man.
Omaha, March 22.—A Missouri Pacific,
freight train started out of Omaha yesterday
afternoon. At the time the
Knight of Labor were holding a meeting
and one of them, who had been on the
watch, rushed into the meeting and informed
them of the fact. A number of
knights rushed down to the yards to
head off the train, but finding it goqc
captured a Union Pacific engine and
with, it 'overtook the Missouri Pacifictrain
at Paillion, eighteen ’miles out.
They sidetracked the train and brought
the engine back to Omaha, and ran it
into the round house.
St. Louis, March 22.—The agreement
drawn up by Governors Martin and Marmadukc
of Kansas and Missouri, rcspectively,
as a basis for the settlement of
the strike on the Missouri Pacific railway,
together with VicePresident Hoxie’s
acceptance of the same with qualifications,
were presented last night to the cxecutive
committee of district assembly
No. 101, Knights of Labor. The governors
called in person upon Martin
Irons, (Itajrman of the committee, and
urged acceptance of the conditions by
his committee,which was soon afterwards
called together to informally discuss the
conditions inserted by Mr. Hoxioin the
agreement. No action was takeft last
night, the matter being discussed in a
strictly unofficial way, and after a long
session the committee adjourned until today
when the contents of the document
will be formally considered, and some
decision reached. The manner in which
the agreement is received by members of
the committee affords little hope that its
conditions will be accepted.
Omaha, March 22.—Further attempts
yesterday to storm the barn near Oakland
in Burt county, where the desperado Ed.
Johnson is intrenched, resulted in the
death of another man named Edgar
Everett, whom the desperado shot, Several
others were slightly' wounded during
the clay'. The murderer has killed three
men, wounded several, and has shot several
horses. The barn which is now
burning was with its contents valued at
$6,000, and belonged to C. P. Johnson,
one of the men killed. Later news says
the barn in which the desperado had
concealed himself was set on fire about
half past five last night. Afire was then
opened on Johnson and lie wes killed by
falling into the flames. When the fire
had subsided his body was found in a
large pile of oats, and the body was
found riddled with bullets.
Little Rock, Ark., March 22.—
About 2 o'clock this morning the northbound
Iron Mountain passenger train
was stopped at the long trestle, two miles
south of Little Rock by the discovery
that the trestle was burning. It was soon
destroyed and the train had not arrived
at 10 o’clock this evening. It is believed
that the fire was the result of incendiarism.
Denison, March 22.—Sunday night,
after midnight, a body of . men, 150
strong, marched to the Missouri Pacific
shops and took charge. Most of these
men were masked. They killed all the
passenger engines, the stationary' engine
that runs the machinery at the various
shops, turned out all the water in the
tanks and disabled several engines and
other machinery and pumps. It is said
they also hunted for Master Mechanic
Clark, saying they wanted to hang him,
but failed to find him. Mr. Hartigan,
superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific, was sent for by somebody' and
promptly proceeded to the shop, but the*
crowd had left before he arrived. By
prompt action on his part and the assistance
of a few loyal employes, he succeeded
in resuscitating two of the engines be*
fore they were dead.
St. Louis, March 22—The executive
committee of District Assefhbly No. 101,
Knights of Labor, consisting of Chairman
Irons, and members from Texas,
Kansas and Missouri, announced this
evening that they had rejected the proposition
embodied in Mr. Hoxie's letter to
Govs. Marmaduke, of Missouri, and
Martin, of Kansas, as being too vague
and unsatisfactory'. Their formal reply
has not yet been prepared. They' will
now take steps to secure the aid of merchants
in a further effort to arbitrate with
Mr. Hoxie, and a committee to that end
has been appointed, who will call upon
the merchants for their assistance.
Chairman Irons was asked: "What
are the chief objectionable points in Mr.
Hoxie’s letter.
“I do not care to express myself upon
that subject at present,” said Air. Irons.
"The papers we arc preparing will cover
all that.”
“Have you decided upon any course in
case all of your efforts toward effecting a
settlement fail ?”
“Not definitely.”
“You will probably extend the strike? ”
“Yes, 1 suppose so. The strike will be
extended all over the Gould system.”
“When will this he done?”
“That depends.”
It is understood on inside circles this
afternoon that the Knights of Labor on
the entire Gould system, which includes
the Wabash and touches as far east as
Toledo and Detroit, will go out at 6
o’clock tonight. This, however, has not
been positively determined upon, but it
comes from good enough authority to
give it publicity. A good deal, however,
will depend on the action of the merchants
with whom a committee is conferring this
afternoon.

THE PURIM BALL.
A LARGE AND BRILLIANT THRONG OF REVELERS
IN THE OPERA HOUSE.
The Masques and Masqueraders—The Winners of
the Prizes—The Elegant Banquet and
Joyous Dance—A Highly Creditable
Success.
Centuries ago, when Jehovah's chosen
people triumphed over their enemies and
compassed their destruction, the Jews
had "light and gladness, joy and honor,”
and they set apart the days of their gladness
as a' festival to be observed by their
descendants through all ages. With a
fidelity to the traditions of their ancestors,
for which the race is noted, they annually
celebrate with fitting rites the
triumph of Queen Esther and the faithfid
Mordecai. From year to year the
Purim ball is an occasion when each
hour is roseate with pleasure, “every
moment jeweled with joy.” This season,
as always, it was a characteristic success.
The opera house fftior at an early hour
held a gay throng of maskers and the
dress circle was completely filled with
pleased and interested spectators. The
costumes ranged from regal to grotesque,
the royal purple and the motley garbs
being mixed in merry confusion. Some
of them were triumphs of the costumer’s
art, rich in texture, elaborate in design,
while others seemed to have
been brought from the realms
of the grotesque, and were ludicrous in
their whimsical caprices. Among the
many that caught the eye and pleased
the fancy were the following: Watson
Evans as “Red Rover of the Seas;” Miss
Nettie Anderson, “Italian girl;” Miss
Hortcnse Herz, “Cards;” Miss Bessie
Levine, “Starry Night;” Miss Fannie
Wise, “Magician;” E. Roller, “American
Knight;” Miss Maud Hillen, “Quakeress;”
Annie Hillen, “Flower Girl;” Oscar Ragland,
“Mephistopheles;” the Misses Lewine,
“Equestriennes;” Mrs. Chas. Shapera,
“Spanish Lady;” Miss Pauline Kuttner
and Miss Rhoda Brelsford, “Pop Corn
Girls;” *A1 McKccn, “Prince;” Martin
Cheesman, “Knight of the French'
Court;” besides a host of others fittingly
arrayed as became the time when
Mounts ruled the hour. Mrs. Joe Lew
•ine, in a dainty costume, filled to perfection
the role of “Lady Photographer”
and carried off the first prize, a beautiful
cream and sugar set,
for her skillful impersonation.
Sol Wcslow, comically garbed as a “Gambier’s
wife,” looking for an errant husband,
took the second prize for,originality
of costume and clever personation. Miss
Mollie Marx was distinguished as the
young lady most active in selling tickets
and earnest in her efforts to promote the
success of the evening. Her toilette was
one of surpassing beauty, being of shrimp
pink satin, with black velvet train, in
strictest harmony with the loveliness of
its wearer. The noble ladies whose
strenuous exertions made the ball of’86
a sweeping success and to whom the
lpftiest praise is but a feeble tribute, are
Mesdames S. Marx, 11. Alexander, 1.
Lovinger, E. Kuttner, P. Lyons, A. Herz,
R. Lessing, S. Wise, I. Naman, J. Marx,
J. Robinson and B. Haber. At 11:30
o clock the dining room of the New Me
Cfelland was thrown open, where a
tempting and sumptuous spread,
su h as Mr. Hasset alone
ca devise, was served and to
which the eager pleasure seekers did full
justice. Aftetrsupper the dancers again
sought the floor, and the rosyfingered
dawn had almost been ushered in before
they could tear themselves away from the
too seductive pleasure. No 455 was the
ucky number that won the elegant silver
tea service, a most handsome and
valuable souvenir “
The net receipts of the evening
amounted to some $150. The hearty
pleasure of the evening cannot be measured
in dollars and cents; suffice it to say
that the celebration of flic Purir > this
year stands unsurpassed as a social event,
radiant with all the pleasing elements of
success.
To the worthy president of the association,
S. Marx, much of the credit is due
for the happy outcome; his time and attention
have been treely given to the
work of preparation. Regret w ould rule
the mind to think that the Purim of ’86
was so soon over, were it not that anticipation
can even now look forward to that
of ’87 as an event to crown the pleasure
of the year.
DISTRICT COURT. *
Judge Williams Again Sustains the Respondent's
Objections in the Speight QuoWarranto.
In accordance with the judge's announcement,
yesterday, the trial amendment
filed by M. C. H. Park, Esq , in behalf
of the relator in the quo warranto
proceedings against Gen. J. W. Speight,
was heard at 12 this morning. The trial
amendment set up that the office of alderman
of the city of Waco was one of
emolument, as was also the office of surveyor
of McLennan count)'. Mr. Warwick
Jenkins, counsel for Gen. Speight,
objected on the following grounds:
r st. Because the amendment sought
to amend a pleading which on general
demurrer had been held totally bad and
there was nothing before the court to
amend.
2d. Because an information based on
a sworn statement could not be amended,
except as it followed and was supported
by the sworn statement.
3. Because this trial amendment did
not follow’, but was made independent of
the sworn statement of therelator. Judge
Williams sustained the above exceptions
and the proceedings to oust Alderman
Speight will have to be commenced
again.
. ALDERMANIC NOMINEES.
Mr. W. H. Grider Nominated in the Second ward
 East Waco Fail* to Nominate.
SECOND WARD.
The meeting in the Second ward, to
nominate a candidate for alderman, on
the antiperquisite platform, was not very,
largely attended, but nevertheless a nomination
was made. The nominee is Mr.
W. H. Grider, one of the present board of
aldermen.
FIFTH WARD. *
In the Fifth ward, at the hour for
which the meeting was called, there were
not East Waco voters enough present to
furnish a ballot apiece for the candidates
who desired to represent that
section of the city in the council
chamber. After a season of waiting,
enough citizens, including perquisiters
and antiperquisiters and Brooklynites
and West Wacoites, came in, to keep
the candidates from feeling lonesome,
and the meeting instead of being strictly
an antiperquisite one, was transformed
into a general ward meeting. Addresses
were made by Mr. JameyB. Baker, candidate
for mayor, and by Messrs. W. M.
Bell, W. J. Cassiday, A. E. Osborne and
F. M. Makeig, who aspires to an aldermanic
seat. .Major J. F. Herbert announced
his withdrawal from the race.
Mr. Baker’stalk was strong and conservative
and was highly commended. It
w as decided to postpone the matter of
nominating an aldermanic candidate indefinitely.
THIRD WARD.
In the third ward there are already
signs of disaffection among the antiperquisite
men and a petition was in cirdilation
this morning, requesting Mr.
George Dutton to become a candidate,
on the antiperquisite platform, for alderman.
This petition is gotten up by
those who express a want of confidence
in Mr. Tom L. Smith, the present incurnbent,
and also the nominee of the antiperquisite
third ward meeting of Saturday
night last. This action, upon the
part of those who oppose Mr. Smith,
will be likely to cause a decidedly lively
campaign in the third ward.
Galveston, March 22.—Yesterday a
young man named Fred Gould and two
boys, Edward and Harry Dippe, found
several old Confederate shrapnel shells
in a lagoon near the city. Fred removed
the plugs while the Dippe boys, after
soaking the shells in a bucket of water,
shook out the bullets. Several of the
shells had been thus treated, when Fred
picked up one which he remarked would
be difficult to open. The plug was
covered with a lead cap, which he sought
to remove with a hatchet and an old file.
Mrs. Dippe was seated on the back gallery
watching Fred as, with the shell between
his knees, he worked away with
hatchet and file. Tlje Dippe boys were
standing in front a few feet from him
when suddenly the old file struck fire.
There was a flash, an explosion, and
Fred Gould lay dying on the ground,with
a great rent in his side and his leg filled
with bullets and his face blackened with
powder. He lived about twenty minutes.
Fragments of the shell tore through the
house from rear to front, carrying
away the sashes and making great
holes in the weather boarding.
Dyspepsia and Indigestion Cured

Towns Cry For Them.
Brenham Banner.
It is a very common thing to hear the railroad
companies abused as giant monopolies,
but strange as it may seem there is hardly a
railroad town in Texas that does not want
more monopolies in the shape of railroads.
